The Melaswen Paradox (Read 327,793 times)

[Kpatch]

David and Carly could be a very interesting pairing.

heroicmuse , I wasn't thinking about the doppleganger angle but if Dr. Rolf is involved, it's a definite possibility.

Looking forward to previews.

Wonder what Andre and Rolf are up to now.

I'm glad that everyone else knows about Titus' involvement with Andre now....even if he did think it was Tony he was dealing with.

[André DiMera]

Thanks for reading and commenting, everyone!

Next week...

Carly gets her job back.
CARLY: Thank you so much, Kayla!

And has some questions for Nicholas.
CARLY: Where's Melanie?
NICHOLAS: What makes you think I know?

Plus, Victor gets a surprise visit.
VICTOR: I'm not dying, so that's a good start.

And Ciara and Trix consider things.
TRIX: Do you think you're ready?
CIARA: Are you?

All this and more next week on THE MELASWEN PARADOX!

[heroicmuse]

Ooh I'm looking forward to all of this. I'm curious as to where Melanie is too and who visits Victor. I want to see where Trix/Ciara goes and what the fallout of Andre's plan with Titus is gonna be.

Great previews André DiMera

[Kpatch]

I'm thinking Carly visits Victor. Thanks for the previews!

[fluffysmom]

I'm looking forward to seeing Carly and Nicholas's conversation.

Thanks for the previews André DiMera.

Chapter 311

SALEM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
The door to Victor's room opened, causing Victor to wake up from his dream.
VICTOR: The hell are you doing here?
Tony sat down in a chair near the bed. He set down a potted plant on the table.
TONY: Just thought I'd stop by a visit for a moment. These are from Anna, by the way.
Victor nodded.
TONY: So, how are you?
VICTOR: Well, despite my brother's attempt, I'm not dead yet.
TONY: That is good news.
VICTOR: What are you really doing here, DiMera?
TONY: Honestly, I wanted to check on you. Your son may be DiMera Enterprises' biggest competition, but after what happened the other night, I wanted to check on how things were going.
VICTOR: I see. Well, of the people at that dinner the other night, you and I are the only ones who have sense. Though, I must admit, Philip is learning.
TONY: As is Chad.
VICTOR: I don't suppose there's any news on Titus.
Tony shook his head.
TONY: None, I'm afraid. He, André and the waitress went missing as soon as you got shot.
VICTOR: That figures.
The door opened again and Philip walked in.
VICTOR: Philip.
PHILIP: Dad...Tony, or at least, I hope.
TONY: Yes, it's me. Good afternoon, Philip.
PHILIP: So, listen, about that thing-
Tony put his hand up.
TONY: It's forgotten.
Philip nodded.
TONY: I just came to check up on Victor. We may be business rivals, but I admire him as a businessman.
PHILIP: Good to know.
TONY: I shall leave you two to your business. Get well, Victor.
Victor nodded.
TONY: Philip.
PHILIP: Tony.
Tony walked out of the room.
PHILIP: You sure that was the real Tony?
VICTOR: Would André DiMera have any reason to visit?
PHILIP: No, but neither would Tony.
VICTOR: Perhaps. But even if he was pretending to be Tony, André wouldn't be that polite. He may be good at pretending, but not that good. Now, putting my unexpected visitor aside, how are things at Titan this morning?
PHILIP: Not bad. Had a meeting with some of the shareholders. Has Dr. Horton come in yet?
VICTOR: No, not yet. His nurse tells me that he won't be in until this afternoon. I hope he comes early. I don't wish to stay in this hospital a second longer than I have to.

ALAMAIN MANSION
That afternoon, Nicholas got home from work.
CARLY: Hello, Nicky. How was work?
NICHOLAS: Fine. Same as always. How was the hospital?
CARLY: Good. Kayla says it's likely that I'll get my job back.
NICHOLAS: That's nice.
CARLY: Well, at the very least, it'll give me a better chance to help Vivian, as well as anyone else who may need medical attention.
Nicholas nodded.
CARLY: Is Beatrix home yet?
NICHOLAS: No, she has swimming practice today. I'm picking her up in an hour.
CARLY: Well, that's good. She seems to enjoy swimming.
NICHOLAS: She does, yes. She's been taking lessons since she was a little girl, according to her mother.
There was a long silence. Carly cleared her throat.
CARLY: So, I've been meaning to ask you something.
Nicholas looked up.
NICHOLAS: Yes.
CARLY: Where's Melanie?

[heroicmuse]

I wonder why Carly thinks Nicholas has any idea where Melanie is. Also wonder if she knows that Trix is attracted to women.

I'm with Victor. Lets get him out of the hospital and back to seeking revenge!

Great chapter André DiMera.

[Kpatch]

It was nice of Tony to visit. I don't blame everyone for being a bit skeptical of whether it really is Tony.

[mae00]

LOL at Victor saying that even Andre can't pretend to be that polite.

Does Carly know something to make her think that Nicholas knows where Melanie is?

[fluffysmom]

I wonder why Carly doesn't seem to know Melanie's whereabouts. What makes her that Nicholas does?

Chapter 312

ALAMAIN MANSION
Nicholas crossed his arms and stared at Carly.
NICHOLAS: What makes you think I know?
CARLY: Come on, Nicky. You and Melanie are close.
NICHOLAS: Not since the incident.
CARLY: What do you mean?
NICHOLAS: Oh, didn't you know? Yeah, when I found out about what happened, Melanie sided with you. She and I grew distant from each other, the same way that we did.
CARLY: I'm sorry to hear that.
NICHOLAS: Are you?
CARLY: Nicky, of course I am. Honey, you have to know, I never intended to hurt you, or damage your relationship with Melanie. I thought I was doing what was best.
NICHOLAS: How was what you did to me doing what was best?
CARLY: I had to stop you, Nicky. I know that may sound bad, but it's the truth. You were becoming your father.
NICHOLAS: I am not my father!
CARLY: I know. I know you're not. You're a much better man than your father was. Over the last few years, I saw what I thought was my son turning into his father, and not necessarily the good parts. That's the only reason I did what I did, because I felt I needed to save you before things went too far.
NICHOLAS: And in doing so, everything my father and I have worked for was nearly destroyed. You'll forgive me if I don't see that as helping.
Nicholas looked at his watch.
NICHOLAS: We'll finish this later, I need to pick up Trix.
CARLY: Nicky-
Nicholas' phone went off. He looked at it.
NICHOLAS: No, scratch that. Trix is going to a friend's for dinner and she'll give her a ride home. But, either way, I have things I need to get done, so we'll finish this another time.
Nicholas turned and walked away.

SALEM HIGH
Ciara stood in the hallway outside the girls locker room. The school day had ended a while ago. Several girls walked out of the locker room. Trix was one of the last.
TRIX: Hey. How're you goin'?
CIARA: Not bad, you?
TRIX: Great!
CIARA: I should think so. You were awesome out there!
TRIX: I was all right.
CIARA: Please, you were more than all right.
TRIX: Well, I'm glad you stuck around to watch.
CIARA: It was really cool. I liked watching you guys swim.
TRIX: Thanks.
CIARA: So, have you got a few minutes?
TRIX: Yeah, of course. What's up?
CIARA: I wanted to talk about some stuff.
TRIX: Okay. You wanna go someplace a bit more private?
CIARA: Good idea.
Ciara and Trix walked to one of the music rooms.
TRIX: So, what's going on?
CIARA: I've been thinking a lot lately. About you...and me. About us.
TRIX: Right. So have I.
CIARA: And I as wondering, is there an us?
TRIX: Well, of course there is. You were one of my first mates when I moved here.
CIARA: No, I mean, is ther an us. As in...I really like you, Trix. I don't think I've ever felt this way before about anyone. So, I'm wondering, do you think there's a chance we could maybe be more than just friends?

[Kpatch]

That was an uncomfortable conversation between Nicholas and Carly. I like how this is slowly unfolding.

[heroicmuse]

Ooh... So interested in Trix's answer.

I really want to know what happened between Carly and Nicholas!

Great chapter André DiMera!

[mae00]

What in the world happened that would interfere with Nicholas's relationship with Melanie?
