Tangled Obsession

Chapter 53: 53) Separation!

Florina's pov

"Dad... I__ I am__"

I don't know how to start and how to explain this to him, his shocked and disappointing gaze are breaking my confidence.

"We are___"

"Not happening..."

He said in a firm tone and I could feel Vincenzo's and Sebastian's hold tightening on me.

"Are you crazy florina... You can't date two men, mafias that too. I faked my death, so I can keep you away from the mafia world and you are doing this."

He said disappointingly.

"Mr. Denasty__"

Sebastian tried to speak but dad Raised his hand stopping him.

"I am talking to my daughter..."

I clutched on Sebastian's hand stopping him from doing anything. I don't want him to mess this up, more.

"You are coming with me Florina, now..."

Dad is fuming in anger by now.

"She is not going anywhere..."

Vincenzo growled.

"Yes she is... There is no way I am going to give my daughter to the man like you..."

I have never seen my dad so much angry, it's making me more anxious.

"Sebastian, Vincenzo..."

I looked at them pleasingly but they shook their heads.

"You can't leave us..."

The pain in their voices didn't go unnoticed by me, I don't want to leave them either.

"No I am not... But please give me some time, I'll talk to him. I know he will understand... I will be back but for now, let me go..."

I begged.

"You promised that you won't Leave..."

Vincenzo said and can't saw him like this, he is on verge of breaking. I don't know that I should be happy that I matter so much to them or should be sad because I have to make this decision.

"I know... But it's just a matter of few days, Vincenzo I promise..."

My voice broke.

I know they can force me to stay here, they can hurt my dad if they want and I am happy that we have come to such point that they care about me, they know how much my father matters to me. They won't hurt him.

"Don't go..."

Sebastian said squeezing my hand like a stubborn child.

"I have to... Give me some time.."

I couldn't stop my tears. It's ripping my heart apart, I hate this feeling where I feel so helpless. I can't upset my dad either, I have got him back after so many days and I don't want to hurt them either. It was going so well, we were doing so good.

Before they could say anything dad pulled me away from them.

"She won't come back... Don't wait for her..."

With that he dragged me towards the car.

My heart broke as I saw their faces. I never meant to hurt them. Sebastian slammed his fists on the car as our car roared to life. Vincenzo's sad eyes were the last thing I saw before leaving.

"Not happening Florina... I think I have made myself clear..."

Dad said firmly making me loose my confidence which i have been already loosing from past few days.

It's evening and since morning I have been trying to talk with him. We reached hometown yesterday night and I can't help but think about them constantly. I feel so empty without them.

"Dad... I can't stay without them..."

My eyes watered, I know I am behaving like a teenage girl right now instead of twenty four years old adult that I am but I don't care, I am overwhelmed by the situation, I am happy that I got my father back

but at the same time my heart is mourning after separating from them.

Dad sighed and sat beside me on the sofa.

"Flora... Baby you have no idea how cruel this mafia world is. Why do you think that I was running away from that. Mafias are not good men, they are dark inside no matter how appealing they show themselves. I have seen my own father beating my mother in front of me and he was teaching me the same. I didn't wanted this to happen with my wife or my daughter so I decided to escape. I kind of succeeded but he find out about me, I didn't wanted to drag you so I kept you hidden from them until you got in trouble with Russians..."

He has been through the same like vincenzo and Sebastian. Why this world is so cruel. I know dad has suffered enough and that's why I am holding myself back from fighting with him.

"I know I am being strict and unfair, you have right to choose for yourself but I can't let you do this. And it's not like you want one man, there are two. This is not the flavors of ice-cream or your dresses and shoes from which you can't choose one, you can't have two men and I don't trust them with you..."

I can understand him, every father would react the same way but I have to change his mind. If I want them and they have no problem Sharing me then I don't give a fuck about society and what people think. It's my life and society can't control it.

"Dad, they are not bad... Can you please meet them once..."

I Pleaded desperately.

"Every mafia is cruel, flora... And I can't understand why are you taking their sides... They kidnapped you, they forced you to stay with them. You were trying to escape from them right? Then what's changed your mind?..."

He asked frowning.

"How do you know?..."

I asked shocked, I didn't told him. Its going to be very difficult to change his mind of he knows everything.

"For you I was dead but my trusted men were keeping eye on you, on your well-being... I was informed about your every thing..."

He said looking at the tall, bearded man who was doing something in the kitchen.

He was with Peter the other day, he was secretly working for my father.

"It's not like that dad... They are not bad..." This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"You are still so naive, can't see the bad intention of people... They only wants to use you for their benefits. Vincenzo and Sebastian are famous for their Rivalry and their behavior with women's. They are not gentlemen. I am a father Florina, I will always choose better for you... You might hate me for this now but you will thank me later..."

No, this can't be. He can't do this.

"But dad..."

"I don't want to discuss this again... Come dinner is ready..."

He said ending the conversation.

I am feeling like crying and screaming. Why this feeling is so painful, like i am loosing something precious. Everything feels hollow. It didn't happened when jammy broke up with me, it was relationship

of years then why I am feeling like this for the relationship of one month which doesn't even have name, yet.

I don't have appetite, I can't eat. After eating few bites I placed the spoon back in the plate.

Dad looked at me with concern and was about to say something but went outside as he heard doorbell ringing.

The man who was sitting with us looked at me with unknown expressions.

"I am maximus..."

"Hii..."

I mumbled.

"I know I have no right to say in this but Johnathan is right Florina. He is your father and he really loves you..."

He said in a gentle voice.

"I know he cares okay but I can't stay without them now..."

I mumbled.

"Mafias are not good..."

He said looking down, he looks quite disturbed. I haven't seen him talking freely since we have arrived here.

"You are saying it like you haven't loved anyone, you are mafia too, right?..."

I asked and hurt and guilt flashed on his face.

"I did... I loved my wife and one day In my stupid anger I killed her. I am still regretting it. That's why I am saying, even if they love you there is no guarantee that they can't hurt you..."

With that he stood up and placing the plate in the basin he walked towards the guestroom.

I know he is not wrong, one should not trust the criminals and I was doing the same in the beginning. I was scared that they might hurt me for my submission but not anymore.

'they will never hurt me, I trust them...'
