Chapter 98
CALISTA RAYMONDS
“Why did you never told me about it father? Mother knows about this too?” I turned to look at the man who I have just been told how he turns out to be my father.
“He knows. We just didn’t think it’s the best time to let you know. I’m not actually your real father, this might hurt but you’ve to believe me.”
I looked from this man to my father. They’re both my father, how on earth had my life taken such a stupid turn?
Could I have lived my entire life without even knowing I have a real father out there who turned out to be into a Mafia business?
Not just a Mafia business but he is a Mafia.
Slowly, I walk off the bed, I was still weak and dizzy but I don’t see myself being in this room with this two men who had made all my live based on lies.
This man, Luciano tried to hold me back when I wanted to fall cause I was weak but I slapped his hand off my body. I don’t give a dim who he thinks he is but I don’t see myself believing that I am fathered by a Mafia boss.
“Don’t you dare,…. Don’t you dare touch me” I told him amidst tears.
Raymonds didn’t try to say a word. He knows me too well to go crazy when I’m mad and angry. Without another word from me, I walked out of the ward. I can feel their eyes on me but I don’t even want to see their disgusting faces.
It’s hard. It’s hard when your life chose to make a different turn without even giving you a quick notice.
I had to keep my hand on the wall while walking else I’d trip over… The two guards I’ve seen with Luciano was standing outside and they both turn to look at me when they saw me. All I could do was just to roll my eyes at them. They both shifted back.
Emma approaches me, she was standing outside too and mere looking at her eyes. I could tell that she had been crying.
But right now? I don’t even know the best way to react, should I cry or scream on top of my voices that my live had been all a lie?
“Are you okay Cali?” She reached for me but I wouldn’t let her touch me so she moved back a little and stare still at me.
My eyes were somehow blurry and I could understand why. I had just woken up after an accident and all I need is a rest, but look at me now? Stress !
“You knew too?…. That’s why you could answer my question when I was asking right?” I asked her and she wipe her tears with her back hand and nods slowly.
“Recently…. If I had know before this time, trust me, I would have let you know immediately. I’m just finding out too.” She tried touching me again and this time, I was the one that moved back.
The pain in me? Everyone around me knew about all these before I do, why couldn’t they tell me.
“Where Chase? He knows too?” Emma didn’t answer my question immediately but she definitely nods.
And then, I heard a voice behind me.
Chase!..
I turned to him and he had a bandage wrapped around his stomach where the bullet must have went to.
“Chase…” I muttered and went to hug him , wrapping my hand around his torso but he winced in pain. I had forgotten there’s a bandage I had just seen.
“I’m sorry.” I told him.
His face lighted up and he just smiled at me. My eyes watered, can my life get any better?
It seems like it’s been years I had seen him last… We were on our first date when we got into that accident right?
But how did things happened so quickly… Me being dirty to him and he being all sweet to me and we….
We being together.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Was it an act of his cause he finally realized about my real identity? That my father ranks 1st of the top Mafia’s boss while he’s ranking three If not two?
I didn’t want to think about it. The more my kind swipes to what I’ve just heard, he more hurt I am.
“You okay?” Chase whispered to my air and I nodded and slowly touches his stomach where there’s a blood stain despite the bandage on it.
“Was it deep? I’m sorry you had to go through this.” I told him and he just smiled at me before muttering that he’s okay.
I didn’t notice Emma walks away. I didn’t care either, looking at Chase right now. It seems like my mind had suddenly swipe off the truth I had just been told.
“Wanna go for a walk?” He asked me and I just nodded.
I wanted to be far away from these people, far away from anyone. From every fuckin person that knew about this.
But did Chase knew about this too?
He took my hand and we walk down the hospital down way. It seems like he knows the hospital more than me, well! He should.
He stopped at the hospital garden which was a bit far away from the building and we both sat down on the chair there.
I looked over at him as he dip his hand inside his pocket to pull out a pack of cigarette.
“You’re healing, do you need to smoke? Is that okay?” I asked him.
He didn’t reply and instead pull out a stick and lighted it then gas out a smoke.
“I’ve got to.” He told me.
There was silence as it seems each of us have one thing or the other to think about. I sighed and look away.
“What’s up with your new father. Luciano?” He suddenly asked me.
Like it was nothing. How easily had that word came out of his mouth? Like he had known for so long and just waiting for the right time to pop out the question.
“You knew too?”
“Fuck yeah.” He swear and smoke again before saying.
“He’s your father yunno? And he have successfully paid off the remaining debt Raymonds was owning me. Yunno what that means?”
I looked over at him. I didn’t want to hear it, I’m afraid of what he has to say, Chase had no emotion on his face and it’s just like he have returned to that old self of his.
Could he have played me?
“That means that your day with me is over…” That one thing I didn’t want to hear, I heard him pump it out like it was nothing.
