Chapter 41 His twin brother
Hours later…..
“What are you guys doing here?.” I whispered, I didn’t expect to wake up to this, I didn’t even think I will fall asleep while holding his hand just to be wake and find out my whole family is here.
Someone called them, I know someone did and they are in this house.
Heather rushed toward me an she wrapped her hand around me.
“You poor thing, look at her eyes Sam, she has cried out as much as she can.” Heather whispered before she pulled away.
“Touch me again and it will be the last thing you ever do.” I breathed out, I has cried so much, talked so much about him the only thing that remained in me was anger, I felt so angry, I felt so much hate.
Adrian stood beside me at all times.
“I see you are still with Adrian, now he will not be of any use, Uncle Franco is already dead.” Alana said.
“Alana, be sensitive.” Jeremiah stated and I rolled my eyes at them.
“Why are you guys here? You and I both know that neither of you are allowed into this house, papa would never want you here.”
“Papa is dead, now this house belongs to the family.” Heather smiled
That’s why they are here; to place their claim.
“Have you thought of who will take care?.” Sam asked and I didn’t speak.
“Maybe it’s time all of you leave.” Adrain stated.
“You are not family, you don’t get to speak to any of us.”
“He is family. My would be husband and I am the biological signer of the family, this belongs to me, all of it.” I yelled, no matter what they did, I will rather burn it all to the ground than let them stay.
“Leave.” Adrian stated when I held his hand, I didn’t need a fight, I didn’t need a war, I wanted peace and quite.
“You are not married Elara, the mafia belongs to the mafia and no woman has ever taken over, you and I both know that, the guards will not agree to it.”
“He is not even cold yet.” I breathed out.
“We just want what’s good for you, I have a feeling Gabriel would be here soon, after Franco, he is next in lead and better him than Franco.” Sam smiled and my eyes widened:
Uncle Gabriel, papa never talked about him, he never kept any pictures of him, the one time I heard about him was from my family, and they were punished for bringing him up.
I wondered what happened between him and papa. Why was he never seen? Why did no one talk about him.
I know I will die before I let him take the mafia away from me.
“I want all of you to leave, call Gabriel if you like, I don’t care, he mafia will never be his or any of you, papa would not want any of my here and this is still my home, my house.” I yelled.
“You can’t- she already did.” Adrian said cutting off Aunt Gabby, I watched as the guards pulled them out of the room
The guards will support me for now, but it won’t be long when they will realize that they need a leader, they need someone that will continue to take care of the mafia and no one will stand by me.
“I can’t believe they will do this Adrian, who told them he died, he fucking called them, I know someone has to, it’s not even been up to twenty four hours and I know all of the guards, they would never tell a soul unless I am ready to.” I whispered.
Who could do this to me? To my papa.
“I will find out.” He said and I nodded, the stench of anger still filled my body, the thought of all of them barging into the house claiming their rights, it sent chills down my down, it made me feel disgusted.
“Why Gabriel.” I whispered, I didn’t want to address him as uncle, I didn’t even know him to do that.
“Your papa- he is not here.” I whispered so low I could barely hear my own voice. “If he is coming, I need to know who he is, any tent would want him; why did papa never talk about him, it’s as never he never existed and if not for my extended family I would have never been able to know his name.”
“Come with me.”
Adrian held my hand softly when he leads me into papa’s office, tears filled my eyes when I realized I am never going to walk into this room and find him, I am never going to say papa you are always working, I want you to watch a movie with me, it hurts me that I am never able going to make him coffee and bring it here so he will be able to work better.
Everything is only going to be a memory to me and it’s never going to happen again
I watched as he pulled out some files, I am not shocked papa gave him all the codes that he needed, he trusted me and he saw Adrain as the next leader, I wanted him to lead to.
“This is him.” I asked and my breath bitches, I shake my head a few times trying to apprehend what was happening? My chest tightened against my heart.
He looked exactly like my father, when they talked about him, no one said he looked like papa, no one said papa has a twin brother.
I didn’t know how I felt about this, staring at a man’s face that looked exactly like my father, it scared me.
“It can’t be him right.”
“He is your father’s twin brother, he was banished from the family when your papa took the lead.”
“Why?” I asked.
“he broke the rules, disrespected are family a few times and he worked for the enemy, he started a human trafficking ring, which was not allowed in your family and it only got worse when he failed the final test and your papa took over, he worked with the enemy to take down your father and he was banished.” He explained and my breath hitches
I didn’t need the details, it sounded horrible, how could someone do that.
“He looks like papa but he is not like him.”
“If he comes, you need to brace it, because he is not a good man, I have heard the stories.” Adrian stated and my breath hitches
The thought of that scared me, I didn’t even know what to think about? I didn’t want to meet him.
“When will he come?.”
“For the funeral.” Adrian whispered
