Chapter 87 Legs
Elara’s POV…
“Are you really here to tell me to spread my legs for my uncle and let him get whatever he wants or else he will have me dead.” I asked as I stared at her, my mind filled with anger, she can’t say that, she is my mom. “If that’s the case, then you have no idea how papa raised me because I am a fighter and my husband will find me.”
“You have a husband.” She asked and I nodded softly, I thought she knew the, maybe she was not paying attention, she looked a lot better than when I saw her the last time, her eyes were now shallow anymore and she had a frown on her face,
She was wearing a gown that was short selves when I noticed a mark on her arm, was he drugging her.
“Mom, are you okay?.” I whispered as I stared at her, I reached toward her and I helped her sit on the bed as her eyes met mine.
“What’s wrong mom.” I whispered as I stared at her and she didn’t speak, “what did he tell you to tell me?”
“You need to run, I didn’t save myself because I was too scared but you can do it, you can not let him ruin you, you have to find a way to run away.” She said and my eyes widened in shock.
“I would be damned if you think I will be leaving here without you because I will not leave, I am taking you and Javier with me, papa worked so hard to find you, he died knowing you were never to be found and he failed, I am not going to let that continue to happen.” I said as he stared at me.
Her eyes filled with tears instantly, and her hand shook softly, she glanced at me with a frown on her face.
“He is dead.” She asked and I didn’t speak, she didn’t know that either, she had no idea how hard he worked to raise me, to make me into the woman I am today, he protected me, he did everything to he could to make sure that I was happy, and if she was here with us, God he would have showed me what love was.
“Mom.” I breathed out.
“He died.” She asked against and I nodded.
“Papa has cancer, he only has a few months to live, and he shared to stay with me all these while, you know he always pretended like it didn’t bother him that you were gone all these years, he pretended off me, for my sake so I would not lose my mind over you and he protected me all these while, papa got so sick and he was murdered before his time mom, they took him away from me, right under my nose, and I didn’t know, I held his hand when he died, he made me promise I will be happy and I will be safe.” I whispered when she held my hand softly.
“Did he kill him.” She asked and I nodded, he did, I could not prove it yet I know that he did kill him, he had every thing to do with Sarah hurting papa and the murder of Sarah too, he has gone away with many things for so many years but not anymore.
“I will not leave you if that’s what you are thinking, I already lost my father and I would not be losing you too, I would never let that happen to you, now that I know you are alive, I have to make sure you are safe with me and Javier deserves to have the life I had, he deserved to be pampered and be happy, he deserves to have everything he could ever desire.” I stated with a weak smile on my face.
If she wanted to take him away from the mafia, I would understand that, the mafia taints and she has gotten nothing but so much pain from the pain, I would never bring her back to what she didn’t want.
“Mom help me run away, I know you know a way, you won’t come here to suggest if if you didn’t know a way, my husband Adrian, he will find us, I just need a way to contact him and he will be leader.”
“How did your papa agree to marry you off, when you little, he would always talk about how you would always stay with him.”
“I didn’t know he was going to die until I found out, he would bring suitors for me to meet every fucking week, and I always thought she did he want someone else to be with me but papa wanted me to find someone that can love me when he is gone, he didn’t want me to be alone when he dies, he wanted me to be happy, to know what oya like to be loved, he wanted someone t0 love me like he loved you.” I breathed out as she stared at me.
I know I activated the tracker and I know he would soon find me though the thought of him not finding me scared me.
“The time for Gabriel to come back will soon arrive, and I know that as much as you do but I won’t be here either will you, you are coming with me and if you love Javier you will bring him too, he deserves not to grow up and be like his father, not to thin that way Gabriel is doing is fine and that’s what men are meant to do.” I breathed out as I stared at her.
“I wish he waited for me before he left, I wish he knew I have been alive all these while and I never once forgot about him.” She whispered as tears streams down her cheek, I wish’s she met him too before he died, papa would have been elated.
