Chapter 108
When Calista got home, she founds out that her father wasn’t around, May told her so. He had gotten an urgent call and need to go handle it, night was already fast falling.
Calista is sitting on this big dining room with May, she hasn’t really put much mind on who May really was, maybe because she knew already on her know. May is her father second wife.
“Are you okay?” She interrupted her thoughts and slowly, Calista looks up at her before nodding.
“Am fine” she still muttered.
May flashed her a smile and begin eating her meal too, Calista didn’t start immediately, she observes May. Then she started eating but the food wasn’t really tasty in her mouth.
Today hadn’t been a good day for her so, Calista didn’t feel too good eating the meal, she wanted to get off and walk to her room but her stomach grumble, she was hungry afterall.
“You’ll be attending the Mafia’s Ball Party tomorrow, Your first ever, with us.” May was smiling.
She was trying to start up a conversation but it seems like she sucks at that and nevertheless, she was still trying.
“I don’t know if I should be excited or not.” That was the truth, I don’t know if going to a Mafia ball party is what I should be happy about. Had it been that it as I getting ready to attend as Chase’s date, I’ll be glad. And happy.
But that’s not going to happen. I pushed my thoughts away, if there’s anyone I shouldn’t think about, probably Chase!.
“Are you okay Lucia? You keep blinking out, is anything bothering you sweetheart?”
I’m going to walk out of this table if she keeps asking me that. I know she was just trying to show me affection and all that, but really , it makes me uncomfortable.
“Told you, I’m fine.” The reply was simple, and I had send it with a dismissive voice.
“So, I was wondering… since today will be a busy day, will you like me to show you around? The house is too big and I can’t even show you all angles in a day, so maybe I can show you some important places?”
That doesn’t sound exciting to me but I still nodded and continued eating. I don’t know why but I feel my character becoming cold and it’s almost like, I’m acting arrogant while that wasn’t my intention..
Still I blinked.
May and I walked down the ally, she was smiling as she keeps telling me what every single room we passes was and what it was used for.
I have seem my father’s bedroom, it was so huge… So huge that it looks like where a king stayed. Then, May stopped in front of a door.
“Do you wanna go in?” It was like she regretted getting him till this exact. I nodded, curios about what might be inside that she had to stop and ask me.
“That’s your father’s torture room. ” We were both inside this room and I had gasped at what I saw.
Guns, all sort of weapons, an electric chair, full basin of water, bloods , chains. Any many other things that almost make me wanna puke.
“Holy God! He uses this on people?” I was scared, now, I haven’t seen any torture room in Chase’s house and even if he has, I wonder if he’s will be more worse and scarier that my father’s.
“Not everyone actually, he uses it on the bad guys.” She told me.
I went on to start touching everything, well, except for the guns.. even though I’ve once shot it a d know how to, all thanks to Rowan..
But the gun’s here are different from the one I had used to train, they were too big. Too big that it made me afraid, the blood of the walls was still fresh and it seems like it hadn’t been long something happened here.
“Don’t worry about the blood, someone will come clean it up soon.”
“May, Do you feel comfortable living under the same phone with such man?” My question was unexpected. Well, I hadn’t even though it before asking… I just pumped the question had.
May had confusion on her face, but it wiped off sooner, replaced with a smile.
“Such man? You mean your father?” I nodded to her question.
We both starts walking out of the room, I walked out first and May catches up with me.
“Well, when love happens, you wouldn’t care about how dirty and ruthless your partner’s life is, you’ll just wasn’t to be with him.”
I looked at her and I didn’t fail to notice the excitement in her voice and the tone of pride on that statement. I didn’t push the conversation further, I didn’t want to.. not when it was gonna remind me of some things I didn’t wanna think about.
“I can become a Mafia right?” I asked her again, a sudden question. That made her stops walking.
“You are a daughter of a rank one Mafia, obviously, you’re a Mafia, you were initiated right when you were born, Your father told me.”
I didn’t reply to the last statement, I rather went to the first one. “I know, I mean, yunno… Be strong and know how to shot very well and handle myself.”
May place her hand on my shoulder, making me look at her… There was confusion and another unexplained expression on her face. I didn’t know what to expect from her, then she smile.
“I’m glad to hear you wanna be like your father. Trust me, Luciano will be so glad to hear this, he had been worried you’ll refuse to flow in with his Mafia business.”
I hated the part of where she said I wanna be like my father. The only thing I know about him so far, is that fact that he’s a Mafia and he’s KY father.
There’s nothing much I know or could tell about him.
“Thank you..” that only came out of my mouth and I didn’t know if that’s when I’m even supposed to say?
“You’re welcome, You should go get some sleep… Tomorrow will be a long day ahead of you.”
I nodded, I haven’t realized we’re standing in front of my room door until she said those words. I gave her a little smile before walking into my room and shutting the door behind me.
