Chapter 47 My mama
“Surprised to see me today Elara, he took you away from me, from the moment you were born, I met your mother once, a beautiful woman, you look just like her, it’s a shame that happened to her,” Gabriel spoke, he looked a lot like my papa.
He is a splitting image of my papa, his face, his voice, even the way he dressed, it seemed like he was papa, there was nothing different and I hate her, except his eyes, when I stared into his eyes.
It was not like my papa, it was filled with darkness, it felt like he didn’t have any emotions in his eyes, it felt like he didn’t have any single feelings inside of him.
“You are not papa.” I breathed out.
“I never said I was, can this dinner get started, I never thought the day you find out about me, it would be after he dies, he is a stubborn man, I would have never thought that he would die so soon,” Gabriel said and I didn’t speak.
He wanted to make me upset; he wanted me to say something yet I won’t, tonight is the night to get them to get shocked.
The dinner got started in no time, but it felt a bit off.
“So, since no one is going to say it, I will, when are we moving I my house, I think it’s only fair that we stay with our beloved cousin at this time, and Uncle Gabriel is in charge now.” Noah smiled.
“No one said he is in charge, he came to pay his respect, and when he is done, he will leave and as for you, I would prefer if you don’t think of coming close to me or my home, you will remain with your parents where you are sure you are better off alive,” I stared with anger written all over my eyes.
“Touché.” Alana mocked.
“We do have to speak about getting a leader, and the men would want someone great, someone that is blood that has to take over, someone that can take care of the mafia like my brother did.”
“You were banished, you are not a part of the family again.”
“They had a misunderstanding one that you will never understand properly and because of that, it doesn’t mean he will not take charge, it doesn’t mean he will not handle other things,” Heather stated.
Of course, she will want him to lead, I am sure he didn’t run a tight regime like Papa, he will let them do whatever they want, they can choose to punish anyone they want and Gabriel will not stop them, he will not do anything about it.
“How about a meeting? To speak to the men and ask them what they would like.”
“Are you trying to flatter them, make them think their opinion matters when in reality, nothing is going to go on, when in reality, you are still going to do what you like and the men that don’t listen to you, those that disrespect you, they will begin to magically disappear.” Adrian smiled.
“You should not even be here, you are not a part of the family, my brother took pity and started working with you, I know you are great and you are powerful but you and I both know that, there are some secrets that you have, one that you are not willing to let anyone know about,” I stated.
“Threaten me again and it may be the last thing you ever have to do, and this throne, this mafia, you may never be able to get it ever again. I am sure you came here for it, tell me did you murder your brother for this, did you take your sweet time before hurting him just so that you would not be suspected?” Adrian asked as I stared at him
He didn’t look happy.
“Watch your tone.”
“Or else what uncle Gabriel or should I say Gabriel, you may look the part, you may sound the part but you will never be him, no one wants you to lead because they know the type of leader you are, they will rather have me get pregnant and give brith to their leader than for you to lead any of us, you may have the support of this family but what you need to realise is that, they are only with you because they had to pick a side,” I stared with anger written all over my eyes.
“When he takes control, even if it’s for nine fucking months before you get a baby and an additional eighteen years before your precious boy gets older, you will be ruined before then.” Sam smiled.
“Is that so.” I stated.
I wanted to wait till the end of the night but I can’t anymore, the plan he had, I needed him to know that it’s all ruined and that he will never ever be able to have what he wanted.
“Adrian and I have an announcement”
“He knocked you up didn’t he, you can’t see through his plan.”
“Unlike you Alana, I don’t plan to get pregnant without having a husband first and getting properly married.” I smiled
I pulled the gloves off my finger and I showed my ring like I have been meaning to do.
“According to papa’s will and be aware all of the gaurds know about this, when I get married, my husband will lead and I will be beside him, the reason for that is so that the men will be assured that, the mafia will be in the right hands, that should be it uncle, Adrian is the new leader to the Mexican mafia and he will be merging the Russian and Mexican mafia to make it better.” I smiled
I knew a part of them is aware of this but they always pretended to over look it. A man like papa will never leave his mafia to monsters like his family
