Chapter 101
CALISTA RAYMONDS
The car stopped at a very big mansion.. it’d be the most beautiful house I’m seeing after Chase’s. This is gonna be my new home, this is where I can from.
My home…
I batter my eyelid as I got down from the car, I wasn’t in the sane car with my father. He had entered the third car while I was at the second and then the convoy was following us. He was already trying to correct the mistakes he made.
As much as I’m still pissed with everything, he’s really my father and I cannot push him away, I just have to accept my new identity.
Lucia Profaci.
Emma said she’s gonna visit me after I’ve settled. I forgave her already, after all she did absolutely nothing wrong to me.
“Read to go inside?” That was when I noticed Luciano ~ my father, standing next to me.
I’ve been staring at the building without moving an inch … Slowly, I nodded.
He took the first step and I followed behind him. I was nervous, nervous as fuck.
The only thing in my mind was what will happen if it turns out he have another family? Like, I’ve a sister or a step sister .. will they like me and will I ever get along with them?
My mother … He haven’t said anything about her and it’s almost like she didn’t exist or he didn’t tell me cause I didn’t ask?
“No need to be nervous Angel. This is your home…” He told me , stopping after he had noticed how slow I was walking.
“I don’t think I’m ready for this.” I told him , biting my lower lips.
He turned fully to look at me and I watched as he grab my hand and place it on his palm.
“This is your home. You don’t have to be ready to enter where you rightfully belongs. My life haven’t been the same without having you around here .. trust me, you’re ready.”
I could see, feel and notice the pain in his tone of voice and in his eyes and I didn’t even knew when I nodded.
I forgot to point out the fact that their were so many guards here.
I didn’t even need anyone to tell me my father runs a Mafia business, the first time I saw him, I could tell he’s a Mafia boss.
The guards standing outside the front door bowed their head and with two hands, one of them opened the door.
My father didn’t say a word to them… My hand was still on his and he doesn’t seem ready to let go. My eyes moved to his face, and he have this huge excitement on his face that he seems to be pushing back but it’s impossible.
Now, in the sitting room… I couldn’t help myself from wowing! This house was something else..
Everything seems to be glass and shiny and goodly.
This was when Luciano let go of my hand. A noise coming from the stairs made me to look up, and I saw a woman coming downstairs.
My eyes meet with hers and she flashed me a smile, a smile I couldn’t return.
“Is she my mother?” I muttered to Luciano and he shake his head negatively without looking at me.
The woman approaches us and I watched her hug Luciano and then, she kissed him.
Didn’t he just said she’s not my mother?
Then, she turned to me and without hesitation, she pushed me into a hug. I couldn’t hug back, I didn’t want to.
Luciano was looking at us now and he had avoided meeting my eyes.
“Oh Lucia! I told your father he’ll definitely find you! Look how you’ve grown, how long had it been? 15 years!” She hugged me again, this time tightly.
I was choking.
“Okay May .. you need to let her rest now.” My father said, making her disengage from the hug.
Her name was May. And did she said it’s been 15 years too? Perhaps she knew me too.
I smiled at her nervously as she giggled.
“C’mon my love, I’m just excited. Come on now Lucia, I’ll take you to your room.” She said.
My eyes moved to Luciano first and he just nodded, May grab my hand and we begin to walk upstairs.
May speaks alot, she kept on going with her conversation not minding if I’m flowing in or not until we get to a room. All I could do was just to nod and smile when she looks at me.
“Your father is a great man. I’m sure he’ll be able to fill in the years he wasn’t there for you.” She said and I just nodded.
She pulls out a key and open a door , but she didn’t enter instead she looks at me.
“I don’t know what you like, your favourite colour and other necessary things but trust me , I made sure to pick out the best wears for you and have the maids clean up this room and design it for you. I hope you’ll like it.”
I looked inside the room with a dim light and then I turned to look at her, faking a smile.
“Thank you ma’am.”
“It’s May.. My name is May.” She told me and I nodded.
“You should freshen up and come downstairs to eat, the maids are making something for you already.”
“I’ll do that,… May”
She smiled at me and walks away. I didn’t enter the room immediately, I watched her retreat before I walk inside the room. My hand reaching out for the wall and I found the switch which I tapped on and the room lighted up.
A wow escaped from my mouth for the second time. The room was not too much of a design, it was kept simple but classy.
I take a further walk into the room as I begin looking around the room and checking things out.
My life had really taken a different and somehow, a perfect turn. I stopped walking as my mind switch to what and how Chase might be doing. I pull out my phone from my pocket and click on his number.
I wanted to give him a call, to ask him how he’s doing …. But I couldn’t bring myself to and so, I ended up dropping the phone on my bed.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Isn’t it enough time to give up on him?… Clearly, he didn’t want me.
My eyes swipe to my cell phone again when it starts ringing, my heart beats faster…. Could it be Chase calling?
How perfect will that be? But when I reached for the cell phone, I realized it wasn’t Chase. It was a private number.
