Chapter 38 Call it obsession
Elena's POV
We both froze and ceased at that loud sound. Rolling our eyes to where it came from, we realized Ivan was pointing a gun to the roof and he had shot a bullet out. He was seeming tired and groaning at us. His face filled with scratches from our fingers.
"Would you stop or I'd shoot you!" He growls panting softly as I saw how pale his face was.
His mother still brawls as she seems to be a little calm, moving a distance from me.
"Fine, then Ivan Walker you have to make a choice then"
I didn't like where this was heading, I was covered in sweat trying to not appear totally naked before her because i only had my nightgown which she almost ripped apart. I was furiously staring at her while Ivan was between us again.
"Mom..."
"Don't you call me that" she fuses and I scoffed waiting for where all these was leading to. I already know but I just desired to hear it from her lips.
"You've got to chose, between me or this woman!" She spat peering into his eyes and I almost dropped dead.
"What? It's a joke right? This shouldn't result to this..."
"I am fucking serious right now Ivan Walker"
The spiteful emphasis that she lays on his name was enthralling as she keeps calling him in full. She was really pissed off and I just didn't want to beg her. It was her choice, her son could choose but he'd definitely chose me.
Ivan growls as he turned his back on her and faced me.
"Mom, accept it or not, I wouldn't let anyone seperate us again" he confesses and I was so shocked that my breath ceased.
"No!" She barks jerking me back to reality. I joggled my shoulders in his grip, travelling my eyes to where she stood behind Ivan. It was like in the movies and I was witnessing such. She'd never accept me, she hates me and I don't give a fuck about it.
As long as her son still loves me and hold me dear in his heart, I was fine by it. However, why wasn't I at peace? The thought that ran through my mind was to end her quickly, like my father.
We'd be heartless for love sake.
"I wouldn't let this happen! Never!" She yells and pulled me away from Ivan.
I fell to the ground, pained as I had bruised my hand but then, Ivan pushed her back and she almost fell if she hadn't held her balance. My eyes took a glimpse at her. I could see she was in awe, and not expecting Ivan to chose me over her.
He'd do anything for me and here I was thinking that he cares about Arianna but his heart and everything belongs to me. I almost let out my smile but then kept a doleful face just not to appear like a villain.
I was so confident he'd love me, just not what she expected. Besides, when he was the outcast of the family, she wasn't there, but then now that he got some rich heiress by his side, she curbs him.
This was the second I was witnessing Ivan shutting her up over the women in his life. A devious smile escaped my lips while pretended to be in grave pain, wincing and attempting to stand but I couldn't.
Ivan quickly rushed to where I was as he stretched his hand at him to grab it. He gazed at me with passion and said;
"I will never let anyone hurt you again"
"But...Ivan she's your mother, you shouldn't let her go" i caution like I cared but deep in my heart, I was enraged against her and wishing for her to leave swiftly. My patiences with her was getting override.
"No, she doesn't support us!" He clearly stated and I sucked my breath while standing on the weight of a foot.
"But it doesn't really matter, she's dear to you..."
"Just shut up! Elena! Stop trying to get appear like a saint when you're not! I know you well" she cuts in and we both rolled our eyes to her. She was disgusted as she clenched her fist. This old lady sure have some energy to bark and rant at us.
Nevertheless, whatever she does, she's leaving this place!"
"We are all evil but fuck mom, stop that, it's a free world" Ivan pointed as I rolled my eyes with an expression of contempt.
Her lips shook as Ivan was staring at her and I saw tears brew up in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, if you'd be the third party against our love, you have to go"
She scoffs rolling her eyes and here comes the insulting words that she'd never let us be. I felt like snatching that gun from his mouth and shot her dead.
"You choose her over me? I am your mother!" She brags and I found myself a seat. Her voice causes noise to me and my head aches that I almost shouted he should shoot her with the gun.
Ivan placed the gun on the table and tried to take her to a corner of the sitting room, a place close to the window to keep her calm. It made me realize what he actually had a gun for!
I could hear that whispers and she keeps saying it was forbidden and we should abstain from it.
Then there was silence between them and Ivan took a glimpse at me like he was suddenly anxious and considering.
A sudden fear gush through me as I stood up, their whispers wasn't loud anymore and I heard him say;
"You're right mom"
I was perturbed and hastily, I grabbed the gun, hiding it behind me as I darken my gaze at the two of them.
They both swivel around to face me and I saw the forlorn face he kept. I wasn't liking it anymore neither did I want anyone to seperate me from my man. Call it obsession but I don't care.
"Elena, I...well, mom, I mean she's right I just realized..."
He paused and took a deep sigh while I arched a brow at him. He was a mummy boy. I was wrong, he'd choose her over me. He was one who could easily be influenced. She must have told him something that would make him align with her choice.
He folded his fingers together, flutters his eyes and then took some steps closer to where I was.
"We just can't be, at least not now that I need to be on the family's will" he pressed and I folded my lips as he was trying to reason with me but just doesn't know the perfect word that would fit. Her mockery gaze pricks my skin and I was in distress.
