The Sugarbowl
Clayton
sits at the window seat of the coffeehouse with a latte and a muffin in front
of him. He smiles to himself as he takes a bit of his breakfast as he thinks about
the previous day when he kissed Nicholas at his office at the One Day House. He
knows that Nicholas told him that they couldn't kiss again because he was going
to marry Andy, but Clayton still believes that deep down he and Nicholas are meant
to be together. "Once I get the full ammunition, I will be able
to proceed with my plan," he whispers to himself before he takes a sip of
his latte. "I guess I should contact Melissa and let her know that I need
the documentation." He pulls out his phone and sends Melissa a text
that reads, "I'm ready for the document. Time is of the essence."
He puts his phone down and takes a deep breath. "My little bombshell
will stop their wedding, I know it will," he says as he gets a sly grin on
his face. Roboto
Kim opens the door to the main office
at Roboto and pauses for a moment when she sees Robbie standing inside. She can't
help but recall the previous evening when she and Robbie discussed his new marriage
to Madeline and how he felt like she pushed him into a new relationship because
of her engagement to Greg. She and Robbie have such a long, heated, history that
she can't help but wonder where things truly stand with them now that they have
both, seemingly, moved on. "Morning," she finally says as she
catches Robbie's attention. "Are those the latest figures on Roboto's sales
in your hand?" Robbie smiles to his ex-wife as he nods to her. "Yea,
they are. And, they are still on the rise. I believe that Natasha's illness is
still helping the company get some revenue. Which, after the lawsuit, is the silver
lining in this mess." "I know we asked Shane yesterday for
an update on Natasha; has there been any change?" "No, there's
not," he admits to her. "It is weird not having you at the mansion,
you know? You would get all the information every morning if you still lived there."
Kim chuckles back to him. "I lived in that house for so many years,
it is strange not being there. But, I am engaged to Greg, it only makes sense
that I would be living with him now." "It doesn't mean that
it makes it any easier. The mansion feels like it is missing something without
you there." Before Kim can say anything, Madeline opens the office
door and immediately feels the tension between the former spouses. "Am I
interrupting anything?" she asks as she moves up to Robbie and kisses him
on the lips. "Not at all," he replies to his wife as Kim clears
her throat. "Kim and I were just talking about the company."
"Well, I just stopped by to see if you wanted to do lunch today," Madeline
looks back at him while Kim moves to the bar and pours herself a cup of coffee.
"I think that could work," Robbie smiles to her. "It will
depend on Natasha and if she needs me." "Alright, we keep me
posted." Before Robbie can respond, Tyler moves into the office
and glares at Robbie. "So it's true, you're back at Roboto?" he asks
in a huff. He knows that Ethan told him that Robbie was back at work because of
Natasha's illness; part of the reason he agreed to the lawsuit settlement was
because he thought Robbie wouldn't be at the company. "My sister
is dying," Robbie tells his rival. "So yes, I am back here to ensure
my family company is run by just that, family." "This is unbelievable!"
Tyler huffs back to him. "You should be in jail for what you did."
"Tyler, please," Kim moves up to her former lover. "We can
talk about this another time. Please, try to understand that we are coping with
Natasha's illness as best we can." "I get that, and I feel
awful for Natasha," Tyler replies to her. "But Robbie working here again,
I don't like it, not one bit." The Lawson Estate; Greg, Cheresa
& Kim's Home
"I don't want to stay too long this morning
Daddy," Abby tells her father, who passes her a cup of coffee as she sits
on the sofa in the large living room of the house that she grew up in. She was
surprised to get a text from Greg asking her to come see him this morning. She
hadn't see her father for a few days, so she agreed to come and visit him. However,
she also knows that Dominick is at home going through another hypnosis session,
so she wants to be there to see what happens because she is still worried that
he will remember that Eva is alive and well. "Dominick is having some medical
issues and I want to be there for him." Greg uneasily looks back
at her as he takes a sip of his coffee. He can't help but think back of the previous
evening when he was walking through the park and he saw his daughter kissing Ethan.
He just hopes that she isn't cheating on her husband because they are still newlyweds.
"I won't keep you too long but I had to see you Abby," Greg moves
to the sofa and sits next to her. "But I needed to see you to see how you're
doing, truly doing." "Things are a little hectic right now,"
she admits to him. "There's a lot going on with Dominick and his family.
Felicia has been committed back to Raven's Meadow because of some of her claims
and they had to get a restraining order to ensure Frederick wouldn't be her doctor.
It's been
a lot." Greg uneasily nods back to her. "I
see. How are you coping with all this?" "To the best of my
ability. I'm just trying to be there for Dominick." "Is that
so?" Greg asks her. "I saw you last night, Abby. I saw you with Ethan
Alexander and it looked like you were doing nothing close to supporting Dominick."
Abby gulps back to him. "You saw me kissing Ethan?" "I
did, so you can understand why I'd be concerned, right?" "Oh
Daddy, I know it was wrong," Abby admits to him. "It's just
I feel
like the walls are slowly closing in on me and I don't know what to do."
"You're a strong woman," Greg reassures her. "You need to
talk to Dominick, your husband, about your feelings. Kissing another man will
only make things worse in the long run." Abby forces a smile on
her face. "I know you're right, thanks Daddy." Dominick's
Townhouse
Dominick lays on his bed in his bedroom of the townhouse
that he shares with Abby. His eyes are closed and standing next to him is Bryce,
who has put Dominick back under hypnosis as he is trying to see if he can uncover
the memories leading up to Frederick and Felicia's non-wedding. "Dominick,
it is Bryce," the doctor looks at the man on the bed. "Can you hear
me?" "Yes, I can," Dominick replies to him while his eyes
remain closed on the bed. "Alright, good," Bryce tells him.
"Now, I want you to go back to the day of Felicia's wedding. Do you remember
that day?" Dominick makes a frown on his face as he struggles to
piece together the day. "I
I remember being at the Victors mansion and
and
I
was trying to find Felicia
" Dominick explains to him as he tries to
remember everything. "Did you find Felicia?" Bryce asks him
next, hoping that he can pull the truth out of Dominick. "I
uh
"
Dominick mumbles. "I did. She was about to marry Frederick! That son of a
bitch!" "Okay, let's stay calm," Bryce replies to him.
"What did you say to Felicia next?" "Uh
" Dominick
strains his face again as he tries to remember the details of what happened. "I
I
told her something. She
she was upset and ran off." "Alright,
good," Bryce nods to him. "Now, what did you tell Felicia? What caused
her to rush off?" Dominick's mouth opens in shock and horror as
he gasps. "My God," he whispers. "No, it can't be!"
Bryce looks at him with intent. "What is it? What did you remember, Dominick?"
"Victoria, she told me about Eva," he says back to the doctor.
"She's alive. I told Felicia that Eva is alive because Victoria had figured
it out," he says as Bryce feels the blood drain from his face.
The Richardson Estate; Meggan, Lukas, Donovan, Logan & Olly's Home
"We are going to be late if we don't leave right away," Lukas tells
Donovan as he moves into the living room and sees his husband, who has his phone
to his ear. Lukas knows that they are thin close to missing Trenyce and Chris'
wedding, so he wants to leave as soon as possible. Donovan puts his finger
up to Lukas to note to give him a minute. He sighs in frustration when the person
he is calling doesn't answer the call. He hangs up and looks over at Lukas. "Damn
it," he tells his husband. "What? Who were you trying to call?"
Lukas asks him urgently. "Jasper," Donovan reveals to him.
"I wanted to see if our former nanny would answer my call."
Lukas looks back at him in surprise as he didn't think that Donovan would actually
call Jasper, but he is also upset at himself for not thinking of that himself
sooner. "I can't say that I'm surprised that he didn't answer to
you," Lukas tells him. "But thanks for trying. I could try to call him
too?" "If he didn't answer to me, I can't imagine he would
answer to you," Donovan replies to him. "But anything is worth a shot."
"I have more news on Olly," Lukas reveals to him as Donovan looks
back at him intently. "I asked Meggan to open a search for him as well and
she agreed. I just thought maybe she could find out more than the police since
Simona hasn't turned up any leads." "I appreciate that Lukas,"
Donovan uneasily smiles back to him. "I'm trying to remain positive, but
I am worried we will never see our son again." "I know,"
Lukas tells him. "Every day that passes, I lose more hope and I don't know
what to do." "I could kill Jasper for this," Donovan grits
his teeth together. "If I ever come across him again, he will live to regret
the day he crossed me and us." Mexico City, Mexico
"Jasser," Olly rushes up to Jasper, who is sitting on the sofa in the
small apartment that he has found in Mexico City. The small boy is still learning
to speak correctly, so he is calling Jasper, "Jasser", which always
brings a small grin to Jasper's face. "Who called you?" Jasper
looks back at the toddler and pats his head. He knows that he just got a call
from Donovan, but he ignored the call. There's no way in hell that he was going
to talk to the man that drove him to kidnap Olly; the silver lining in all of
this, Jasper realizes, is that he and Olly already had a connection before he
took him to Mexico. This would have been far more complicated had Olly not known
Jasper because he would have been with a stranger. "It was the wrong
number buddy," Jasper lies to the boy. "Are you having fun with your
toys over there?" Olly nods back to him quickly. "When can
I see my Papa's? Are they coming here too?" Jasper uneasily smiles
back to him. "We will see about that, Olly. We will see about that."
The River Rock Casino
Isabelle knocks on Antonio's office
door before she moves inside and sees her father sitting behind his desk. "Good
morning father," she announces as she enters the office and closes the door
behind herself. "I came as soon as I got your message." Antonio
stands up and looks at his daughter with a smile on his face. "Good morning
beautiful," he replies as he moves up to her and kisses both of her cheeks.
"You look stunning today, as usual." "Oh shucks, you have
to say that since you're my Dad." He chuckles back to her. "I
wanted to see you because I saw Max Black yesterday," he reveals to her.
"You didn't tell me that you stopped seeing him." Isabelle
blushes back to him. "I guess I hadn't. I didn't know that I had to run every
detail of my personal life past you, Dad." "You don't,"
he chuckles. "But I must admit, I am concerned that you ended things with
Max; he's a good young man. You two, you could be great together."
"I agree, he is a good young man. I just
I can't help but feel something
else for someone else." "And that someone is Jacob Calimo?"
Antonio asks her with a heavy sigh, as Isabelle uneasily nods back to him. "Oh
my sweet Isabelle, I had hoped by warning you about the Calimo family that it
would have made you realize that getting involved with Jacob would be a bad idea."
"I'm not involved with Jacob," she replies to him. "I mean,
at least not yet." "What does that mean?" "I
don't know," she shrugs her shoulders, knowing that she can't reveal that
Natasha's dying wish is for her and Jacob to be together. She doesn't even know
what Jacob is going to do with that, so she's trying to not get her hopes up.
"All I know, Dad, is that, what I feel for Jacob is stronger than any feelings
I have for Max. So, you might have to get used to the fact that I am involved
with Jacob, if that happens." The Cascade Apartments; Cassie,
Max & Carter's Home
"Alright, we are here," Cassie slams
the door behind herself and Jacob as they move into the small apartment that she
lives in. They had been at Roboto talking about why Jacob rejected her marriage
proposal when Jacob revealed that his decision was because of Natasha. When she
questioned him about it, he suggested that they go somewhere more private to finish
the conversation instead of being at the company. "I need you tell me how
and why your mother is influencing our relationship!? Jacob turns to
face her as he can feel some beads of sweat form on his forehead. "Cassie,
please, just try to stay calm, okay?" "Stay calm? You told
me that you couldn't marry me and it's because of your mother! I need answers,
Jacob, and I need them now!" Cassie huffs back to him. "You
know that my mother is dying," Jacob replies to her as she nods back to him.
"Well, she told me that she has a wish before she goes." "What
could Natasha possibly want before she dies?" "For me to be
with a woman that she thinks is worthy of me," Jacob reveals to her. "She
has never wanted you and I together." Cassie shakes her head back
in shock and awe. "She hates me, so I get that," she tells him. "But
that's crazy! If you're happy, that's all that should matter! So tell me, who
is it? Who does Natasha want you with before she dies?" Jacob gulps
back to her. "Isabelle," he reveals to her as Cassie gasps in shock.
