CHASE
I was in the kitchen preparing breakfast for Calista who was still in bed when I heard someone say,
“Hello handsome. You are awake?” I smiled because I knew that it was Calista that was at my back.. she walked closer and wrapped her hands around my waist and hugged me.
“Good morning Calista. How was your night? Hope you slept well? I thought you would be asleep for a little while longer. I wanted to serve you in bed. Seems I miscalculated your exhaustion.” I said as she turned to face me and said,
“I slept like a baby after last night. Just sore in some places. But it wasn’t your fault. Emma called me She had some big news that she wanted to tell me and it couldn’t wait,” She said as I nodded my head and replied,Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“I wonder what kind of news that she wanted to tell you that it couldn’t wait. It’s barely 8 am. I hope everything is okay between the two of you. ”
She smiled and gave me a big hug and said,
“Yes everything is alright. After all it is a good news if you say so. I don’t want to be the one to tell you but promise me if I do, you gotta act shocked when you find out later.” She said as I frowned.
“What good news could this possibly be? I knew that Waylen was training her how to protect herself. Maybe she had finally mastered it and was happy to tell Calista.” I thought to myself as I shrugged and faced her.
“Sure tell me the good news. I promise not to let anyone know. It will be a secret, sealed and locked away.”
“Emma just found out that she is pregnant ” She announced as I stumbled and the frying pan almost fell off from the gas.
“WHAT!” I yelled more out of shock than happiness. I looked at her and she nodded her head happily and said,
“Yes, she is pregnant. Aren’t you happy for her? Why are you behaving in this way? You should be happy ” she said with a frown on her face as I quickly shook my head and said,
“Actually I am happy. Very happy. Sorry for the outburst but does my brother know about this yet? Is it confirmed or just a hunch?” I asked as I could see her giving me a death glare but she still answered,
“Waylen is freaked out. He called some doctors to test her themselves before he concludes. What is the matter with you all? Are you all afraid of commitment?. If Waylen doesn’t take responsibility I swear I will deal with the both of you” She said as I replied,
“It’s not like that. I mean we are Mafia’s. If anyone found out, Emma can be used as a hostage so we have to be careful about this. We are just taking precautions but let’s leave that for now. We will discuss that later” I said as I dished out our food in two separate plates and dropped it on the counter where she was seated and said,
“It’s time for breakfast. What do you think?” I asked as she took a bite and smiled,
“It’s quite delicious. I love it.” She said as she fed herself more spoons.
“Slow down, okay. You do not need to rush it. We have nothing but time ” I said as she slowed down. After about three or four more spoons, she paused and seemed to me that she was in a trance.
“Calista, what is wrong? You are pacing out.” I said as she sighed and said,
“I just remembered that I had something important to tell you. About Charlotte and the reason we had to leave earlier.” She said as I nodded my head.
Where as this going to?
“Okay but first of all you should know that Charlotte wasn’t at fault here. She was being manipulated by Grayson the entire time. She does not know how to tell you because she is scared of what you will do to her so she asked me to help convey the message ” she said as I was getting more confused.
“What did Grayson manipulate her into doing this time around?. Tell me and stop covering for her ” I said as she bit her lips, that it almost bleed before she replied,
“I don’t know how else to say this in a way that would ease you so I am just going to say it outright. Remember Madison and how we never found her killer?.” She said as I felt a sharp pain in my heart.
How dare she remind me of my first love. It was painful watching the love of your life die, but it was worse when you don’t know who killed her.
I clenched my fist and I nodded my head waiting for her to complete her statement. I didn’t want to explode right now.
“Charlotte and Grayson were the ones responsible for her death.” She said slowly as I stood up quickly the chair fell off and made a loud noise but I didn’t bother about that now.
“WHAT? ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT CHARLOTTE AND GRAYSON KILLED MADISON? AFTER ALL THIS YEARS” I yelled as she stood up too and tried to console me but I removed my hand and said,
“Don’t you dare touch me? Do you know who Madison was to me and you are telling me that it wasn’t Charlotte’s fault?. She killed her own sister and pretended that she knew nothing about it and you expect me to forgive her?. There is no way in hell that I am going to forgive her. She will suffer for this, so will Grayson. If she thought that coming clean will just make everything that she did go away then she was terribly wrong” I said as Calista touched me again and I faced her,
“Just shut up. You don’t know anything. I won’t listen to you. Just get out.” I yelled grabbing my keys and my clothes as I wore it out on the way before i entered my car and drove off.
