Chapter 36:
” Mum!” I leaped unto her I said as I entered the house, I gave her a big hug and then kissed a on her forehead.
” baby, come here” she pulled me into a big hug and pecked my cheeks. ” It’s been a long while, I have missed you welcome baby” she said and then let me in , then shut the door behind us.
” How have you been mum, I’m sorry I haven’t paid you a visit in a long time, It’s just that I’m too busy trying to look for a way to get dad out of the prison so I have been too occupied and I’m sorry mum ” I begged , mum touched my hand and I smiled.
” It’s fine darling. How have you been? have you found any proof to help your dad?” She asked multiple questions in one second.
” Um_ mom, I and Jane are trying our best” I poke my nose. She sighed out deeply, please save your dad do all you can too, he is innocent”. She tightened my hands into hers looking at me with a pitiful eyes.
” Mom I promise to that dad out of there okay? Just do me a favour and don’t get worried. Don’t you have faith in me anymore?”
I patted her back, reassuring her of bringing her husband back. ”Yes, darling. thank you for trying your best for your dad and me, it gets a wee lonely sometimes all alone in this house with no one to talk to or laugh with. I miss your dad ” she said.
” I’m sorry mum. I understand what you must be going through mother but it will be over soon” I said. ”But you know your dad didn’t kill anyone, he can’t even kill an insect not to talk of killing a young girl.
”The question is why would he want to hurt a girl that is up to his daughter’s age? By the way what business does he have with her?” she asked so many questions, I could see tears gathering up in her eyes.” Your daddy is innocent and he is being framed for something he can’t possibly do you know ” she said.
” I know mum and you don’t have to tell me, I know dad and he can never hurt anyone not even his enemy and I know he was framed unjustly and that’s why I’m trying my best to find proof to show his innocence mum,” I said.
” I know you are trying Daniella, you are such a good daughter to your father and me and I am really glad to be called your mom-baby” my mom said sobbing.
” It’s fine mum, it’s my job. I just want both you and dad to be okay and healthy. have you been taking your medications mum? ” I asked her. ”Yes darling I have, don’t worry about me. how is jane ? ” she asked.
” She is okay mum. she recently found out where Raymond lives mum,” I said with happiness. ”That’s marvelous. After all this time, they finally found each other. that’s so nice”. she said.
” It is mum. Jane has gone through a lot and meeting Raymond again will make her a lot more happy than she is now mum. You should see her these past days, glowing and smiling and she is her usual chatty self ” I said .
” That’s so good to hear, she deserves to be happy, you both deserve to be happy” she said touching my cheek as she looked at me with sad eyes.
I didn’t need her to say what was stuck in her throat because I already understood that she was talking about me being happy with Draco. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
” Mum doesn’t say it, I am very much happy this way,” I said frowning. ”Look, I’m not asking you to go back to Draco because I am also mad at him, I hate him baby because of what he has done to your innocent father but baby I am thinking of you and what you might feel inside,” she said.” I hate him mum ” I lied.
” I know when you lie Daniella and you are lying right now. It’s normal for you to still be in love with him, he is your husband after all baby. I know he is wrong but still doesn’t completely let him go or you will hurt yourself too ” mum said.
” I don’t want to talk about Draco and me anymore. I feel so uncomfortable discussing him because right now I only want to think about dad and not him. I might love Draco but I love dad and I have come to an agreement with dad that I will file a divorce as soon as he is out of prison” I said.
” And is that what you want, not what your dad wants baby?” She asked raising her brow. ”That’s what I want mum. Can we please drop the subject on Draco and anything to do with him? ” I begged ”Yes darling. Have you had breakfast yet ? ” she asked me. ”No mum, I’m craving your spaghetti meatball and sauce,” I said smiling, my mouth watering from the thought.
” Okay then. I will cook just that for you. just sit here and do nothing ” she said and then went into the kitchen. I relaxed on the couch and then switched on the TV when the doorbell rang.
I stood up to check on who was at the door when I saw Danovo with three other men standing in front of the house. Fuck! they followed me here, if I leave I would put mum in danger, and if I let them see me, they would definitely find out where Jane lives and then come for me.
Then mom and Jane just suffer over again, I can’t put her into another situation where she will get dad again. I quickly sent mum a text saying I would stop by for spaghetti meatball and sauce another, day and that I had to run now because I had something important to do.
I opened the front door calmly and then I stood by the door, staring into Danovo’s bloodshot eyes, he had been drinking. after he ruined my father’s life he has the guts to show up in front of me. or has he come back to hurt me? I know he saw me that day at hid place. ”We meet again Daniella ” Danovo said with a smirk.
” What are you doing here you bastard? what do you want from me? ” I asked him in anger. ”I am here on the Draco’s orders to bring you home,” he said and I burst into laughter. ”Home?” I said and scoffed. ” this is my home Danovo and I think you know that already ” I answered him.
” Funny you Daniella. I mean your husband’s home ” he said smiling. ”For all I know, I do not have any husband and I am not in a relationship so tell Draco that next time if he searches for me, I won’t hesitate to find a lawyer and sign the divorce papers ” I threatened.
” Oh baby girl, I don’t care about you or Draco’s business but I suggest if you want your mother or your precious Jane to live a long life, you would come with us,” he said and I frowned. ”You wouldn’t dare Danovo” I hissed out.
” Oh I will, why don’t you try me,” he said with anger”. If not that Draco wants you at home unhurt, I would have dragged you by the hair by now,” he said.
” I see Draco still has this commanding stance over you ” I laughed out trying to irritate him” as usual you are still always going to be his shadow and forever call him a master,” I said and kept laughing just to aggravate him so he could hurt me.
“I know what you are trying to do and it won’t work because I won’t touch you. Just carefully get into the car before it gets messy” he warned.
” Or what? and if I don’t do as you say, what will you do? will you call Draco over the phone and cry to him?” I asked with a smile, enjoying every bit of what I was doing.
” Look you bitch! ” he said through anger, clenching his fist subconsciously, before pulling my hand. ”I won’t hesitate to slap you hard across the face. In as much as I want to snap your head off from your body, I won’t touch you not because I am scared of Draco but because I don’t want to get my haves dirty with your blood ” he said and I cringed and didn’t say anymore.
” Grab her and let’s go home ” he ordered the other guards and then entered the backseat of the black minivan in front of me.
” Don’t touch me, I will walk by myself ” I hissed out and slapped one of the bodyguard’s hands away from my skin as he touched me.
” I’m sorry ma’am ” he apologized and I hissed at him before locking the front door. I hope I don’t get mum tense up so much when she gets back into the living room and finds out I am gone.
I walked slowly towards the minivan and then got into the back seat with Danovo but I sat as far away from him, as possible because even breathing the same air as he was disgusting.
The guys got into the car and then they started it and then zoomed off. My mind constantly flies to Draco and how he must look now. I need all my strength if I want to face him.
