CALISTA RAYMONDS
“We just need more time and we’ll sort things out. I need to talk to her.” My father’s words draw me out of my world.
“You know I can do whatever I want with you now and no one will say a damn about it. You agreed everything will be set once she turns 20, and you could have brought her to me yourself and I won’t have to come here”. Chase’s voice came up next.
” I’m sorry Chase. But Calista didn’t know anything about this and she’ll hate us so much, please give us more time” My mum pleaded.
“What are they talking about?” I ask myself, confused as I couldn’t seem to point a finger at what exactly they’re talking about.
But I know that no matter what reason it is, seeing the most feared boy from Russia in my family house, I know it’s no good.
“Don’t fuck with me! I gave you five damn years and you still want me to give you time? The moment you stole from me is the moment you signed my wrath… And you have to pay with what your greatly cherish, I didn’t take her back then because she’s not up to age, but I am here now… As I promised you five years ago. She’s no longer your possession, consider her something you Sold to stay alive”
“Please Chase, just this one last time. we are trying our best”.
” Well, your best is not enough, and I am not leaving without her. don’t make me say this again”.
“Dad? What is he talking about?” I asked, walking fully into the sitting room.
I couldn’t stand it any longer when I saw my mother’s eyes water, If there’s anything I hate, it is seeing my mother in tears.
“What are you doing here Calista! You should be asleep”
“You don’t have to hide it from her. She’s 20, she needs to know that she has to pay for the sins her father committed” Chase smirks.
“I have been standing at that door for that last eighteen minutes,
Mum, Dad. What did he mean by I have to pay for the sins you committed? is there anything going on here I need to know!?” I almost yell.
“Just a second please, ” My mum said to Chase who was just sitting down looking at us.
“Calista, come over here”. Mum drag me with her , leaving dad and the Chase guy in the sitting room.
” Why are you dragging me, Mother. Just stop and tell me what I need to know!?”
“Calista, You should be in bed still now, it’s too early. Why are you up this early? C’mon, today is your birthday and you don’t deserve to stress yourself, go up to you and we will come meet you later? I told you I have a surprise for you don’t I?”
“A surprise? You mean, having Mr. John Gotti’s second son in our house and talking about “sins committed” is the surprise! what the fuck mother?”
“Stop swearing Angel! please just head back to your room, I promise you, Your daddy and me will come up to explain this to you, I promise.”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“No mother. No more plays, I deserve to know the truth mother, you can’t hide it much longer and you know that, so why don’t you go ahead and tell me what he’s talking about and why he’s here?”
“Calista!! Do not disobey me, head back to your room this instant!” She said and I could see how much she force herself to not yell at me.
I looked at my Mum and saw how tired and broken she is, I didn’t want to stress her although Chase’s statement was ringing in my head. I nodded and head back to the sitting room so I can walk back to my room. I was about to walk past when I heard my Dad…
“Chase, I was the one that stole from you not my family, please keep my daughter out of it and I’ll pay the price”
“Remember five years ago? I asked you how you wish to pay for your sins, you said “Spare my life and take what’s precious to me but not my life” so you see? You have to pay with what’s precious to you” Chase said smirking.
“Father….” I call out, making him shake because he wasn’t expecting my presence.
I was already in tears as I didn’t want to believe what I just heard, today is my 20th birthday and my mother had promised me a special gift and I had woke up feeling so happy and new, only to get my day ruined in just a couple of minutes. I wanted to believe that what I just heard is a lie, a prank, but seeing My parents’ expressions and the sadness in their eyes, I nearly lost balance thanks to the wall next to me.
With the tears rushing down my eyes, I stared at my father… betrayed.
“What is he talking about father, What did you stole from him?”
“Listen, Angel, Why not just go to your room and we’ll talk this out later?”
“You know you’re not helping matters! Don’t make me stay here for more than I intended okay? Am already tired of being nice! Oh hell, you’re not the only fucking person that can’t tell their daughter the truth” Chase yell standing up.
I saw my father’s leg shake and he was visibly trembling. My mom covered her face and cried.
“I don’t care who the fuck you are! I won’t let you talk to my parents like that!” I yell at him, I am angry at my parents but I won’t have their respect on the floor while I’m here.
He smirked and turned to look at my father, His face has a different expression now and I swear he looks like a killer right now, I don’t care if he’s a Mafia or what, he lacks manners and that’s the fact.
“Am sorry, Am sorry!” My father trembled and fall to the floor in an attempt to plead with him.
“Oh, Jesus Christ! Seriously father… What stupid sin! Hold on a minute….. Dad? You and Mum didn’t give me … out to pay for your mistake , like he said. Did you?” I asked, shaking.
“Well… Now she gets it. Am waiting in my car” Chase said strictly and walked out of the house.
Leaving I and my parents whose faces already tells me a lot. But maybe, am just dreaming and need to wake up.
