| Soap Sins March 12, 2014 CHAPTER 71 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. LINK ONLY! OH BABY! Previously on SOAP SINS - At the end of the fashion show, the Brazilian designer came out amid the applause and much to Dakota's surprise, the African Queen was with him. - "She must have been fashionably late," Nick gasped. “We have to do something. The anonymous Russian caller said she's going to be shot!" - The African Queen waved to the applauding crowd in her strapless red velvet gown. Dakota opened her mouth to scream for her to duck but she was too late. Three consecutive shots rang out and they came from behind her chair. Nick had already jumped on stage and caught the African Queen as she started to fall. Dakota turned around to face the shooter and got the shock of her life. "It's YOU!" The story now continues ... - The most famous soap opera villain of all time - who also happened to be the dastardly villain on Dakota's show - grinned deviously. "Fancy meeting you here!" - Dakota was horrified. "You shot ..." - He held up the prop pistol in his hand. "No one. The sound effects were quite good, no?" - Dakota slowly shook her head. "But the African Queen was shot." - Her iconic costar raised a black eyebrow. "Are you sure about that?" - Dakota turned back to the stage, where the African Queen was now waving to the crowd. She curtsied. Her Brazilian business partner blew kisses to the press in the front row. Nick returned to his seat, miffed that the entire fake attack had been caught on tape. "I'll be the laughing stock of the 6 o'clock news," he grumbled. "The whole dang thing was staged. A publicity stunt." - Dakota started to laugh until she remembered the anonymous Russian caller who had warned of the fashion show shooting. - The show villain seemed to read her mind. "Yes, I was the Russian caller, too." He chuckled and then pursed his lips, cleared his throat, and repeated the warning he had called in, said in a flawless Russian accent. - Nick was incensed. "This is preposterous!" - Dakota could almost feel the soap steam coming out of her ears. "You can say that again! How dare you!" she accused the show villain. - Nick glowered. "You tell him, sweetheart." - Dakota was unstoppable. "We are supposed to be a team! I thought I knew you but after all these years you pulled something like this! How could you! How could you not even tell me you could do such a perfect Russian accent! We could use it for the show!" - Nick shook his humiliated head as Dakota happily patted the show villain on his massive suited back. "As soon as we get back to L.A., we'll have you do your Russian accent on an episode. Maybe he can be your eviler twin!" - And so it came to pass that Dakota Diamonelle returned to Hollywood acting like even more of a producer than when she had left. Nick made the rounds on the late night talk show circuit, claiming he had been part of the fake fashion show shooting. He adored the adoration and attention from the public. And when the fans asked about his soap star wife, he proudly reminded them she was now also the acting producer of the show. - But being a producer was taking its toll on her marriage. Chip the old executive producer was still out of commission, and had evidently gone to the Caribbean to recover from his nervous breakdown. The days turned into weeks and the weeks turned into months. Nick complained she lived, ate, and breathed only the soap opera. - One night Dakota returned home from the studio especially pale and wan. Her son and husband were already in bed. No one was awake, except for Dragos, her half vampire brother, who had dropped by to share some news. When he perceived her pallor, he decided to give her his big news later. - "You look deathly ill, sis." - Dakota sighed and kicked off her Christian Louboutin shoes. "Coming from a vampire, that must mean I look deader than dead." - "Rough day?" - "Lunch didn't agree with me at the Polo Lounge today." - Dragos frowned. "That's not possible." - "I know. I couldn't even touch what was on my plate. One look at that asparagus and I was ready to pass out. It was just like when ..." She stopped and gasped. - Dragos grinned. - Dakota then realized he already could sense what she had not even suspected until now. "Good grief. I'M PREGNANT!" |
