Chapter 94 Coming to her

Chapter 94 Coming to her
Elara’s POV….

“Mom.”

“Coming.” She yelled form the shower, I settled on her bed, my eyes glanced around the room, she is staying in papa’s room, her old room, there were no pictures of her here and she didn’t ask why, I wanted us to have this conversation before harry is found? I wanted to know what could be going on and I needed to know if we should find her a safe place, whatever Harry has planned for us, I don’t want it to hurt her, she has been through a lot of bad.

Javier is downstairs watching tv with Adrian, he is going to explain to him that; what he did last night was brave and he didn’t have to every worry about his father because the man is gone; he is dead and he will never ever abuse him again. It’s going to take a while before he finally believes our words.

I shrugged off the thoughts when mom headed into the room, my eyes met her and had settled beside me.

“You came here to talk.” Mom asked and I smiled, I could not stop staring at her face, how did papa do it, nor break down each time he saw me, because I look like her, how did he hold it all together, watching me grow into the woman in fell in love with knowing fully well that, she is gone.

“You know, papa never gave up on you, he made it loo like he did, but deep down I know he didn’t, he hid all your pictures not for him but for me, he didn’t want me to cry each time I saw them, you know he was always there to make sure my hair was made, he made it himself because I don’t like any one touching my hair, he made sure I made great decisions in my life, we didn’t speak about you after you left, I don’t want to lie to you, but we didn’t, we pretend like you were never there, it was easy for us.”

“You are truly your father’s daughter Elara.” Mom smiled as she held my hand. “You feel bad, you think I will feel horrible because they are no pictures of me, you know when your grand mother died, your papa’s mom, I was there with him, he never wanted to talk about it, he buried himself into work, he made sure he didn’t fine himself any time to even have a thought about her and he made himself forget about her, he kept each thing she gave to him, far away form his eyes, making sure that he never had to see them, it doesn’t mean he never loved his mom, it doesn’t mean he never cared for her, hell he loved her more than anything and when his twin brother fucked up, he erased every part of him from his life, he never wanted anyone to even know that Gabriel existed, he made sure no one talked about him and those that made a mistake were, were killed, it happened like that until no one dared to even talk about him.”

“Papa loved you.” I whispered and she smiled at me.

“I know he did, he gave you a beautiful life, for me, because he knew how happy I will be, I always wanted to have a daughter that didn’t grow up with the darkness that I did, that grew up with love and he gave you that.” She said and I smiled at her.

I wiped the tears that fell against my cheek and I had the most beautiful smile on my face, almost forgetting why I came here in the first place but I needed to remember why I am here.

“Harry had not been caught, he is Adrian’s brother and he is bad news, he has lived most of his life plotting against his brother and he was working with Gabriel, he is going to come back mom, he is going to want revenge and Adrian and I are doing all we can to make sure we can find him” I breathed out. I glanced at her waiting for her to speak

“You want Javier and I to leave.”

“I want you and Javier to make a choice, I want you to know that you are not a prisoner anymore and you have your own fucking free will and you can choose to do anything you like, I won’t hate you, I will always be your daughter, you have suffered so much mom, and I know you don’t like the mafia and I know you don’t enjoy anything about it, I know you don’t like the fact I am a part of this, but this is papa’s legacy, he worked his whole life to make sure this will be great and I am not going to let it rotten or leave it in the hands of a bad person, the mafia is my home, it’s my husband’s home, we love it, it has its goods and bad, but I won’t want you to be a part of it if you don’t want to.” I breathed out, my heart skipped a beat as I stared at her.

“You think his brother is going to hurt me.”

“His brother is going to hurt anyone that comes in his way, he will do everything it takes to make sure that he gets to what he wants and even if it means that we will all be dead, he wants the throne and- you are one of the obstacles to him not getting it.” Mom said cutting me off and I nodded.

“You can choose to stay, or you can leave whatever it is, there is no pressure, Adrian and I can give you a home anywhere you like, where you are safe and so is Javier, any place in the world, you  name it and it will be yours.”

“I want that, I want to stay with you, know more about you and Javier will be better off knowing his sister, knowing he is here close to his family, I love you Elara and we have lost so many times together but not anymore.” She whispered and I smiled
