Yearning For The Badboy Mafia’s Love

EPILOGUE

CALISTA RAYMONDS

My whole body felt like lead. My head was pounding and my hands were detached. Groaning I tried to remember what happened. Flashes accumulated in my head as I remembered being shot.

Let me put it out here, getting shot is the most painful shit ever.

I remembered falling to the ground as Charlotte loud voice filled my ears. She was struggling to get up as I saw the man Edward picking up his gun again to shoot. My back was already bleeding from the bullet that was impaled in my body.

” Stay away from her. You dirty bagshit” Charlotte yelled as she struggled to get up.

There was a gunshot again and I closed my eyes welcoming death when I felt someone drop beside me.

It was Charlotte!. She took a bullet for me.

That scene blurred and the next thing I knew, I could see flashes of gunshots as bullets rained down the place…. A lot of people were shouting and there were a lot of yelling as I closed my eyes again. Charlotte’s head was still resting on my back. I couldn’t feel if she was still alive. I stretched my hand and held hers for a pulse.

It was too faint. Between all the horrors that was happening, I could her low chant..

“Madison… Chase….. sorry….” The image blurred again.

The next time I opened my eyes I was being lifted and carried in a bridal style. I tried to look at the person’s face but my strength failed me and I slipped off into darkness.

I couldn’t distinguish between reality and fictional anymore. I saw myself in a field standing with a white cloth and in front of me was another woman who was smiling and beckoning at me. I looked at her and I felt a face of familiarity.

I had seen this face in my father’s bedroom.. this was the woman that was in a wedding dress beside my father…. MUM!

I reached for her but she disappeared, and everything turned black once more.

“Mum! Please” I said as I struggled to open my eyes I could hear beeping sound. I forced myself and finally light seeped into my eyes.

I saw a face staring down at me, smiling.

“Mum?!” I asked as I reached my hand to touch her face. She held it as my vision cleared and I saw that it was May.

“Yes baby, I am right here” She said with tears in her eyes. She looked tired and worn-out. How long had I been out?

Before I could say anything, my bed was covered with other faces, I could see my dad, Emma, Waylen, Rowan…. a woman I didn’t know, my second dad…. my second mum.

“You are awake! Thank goodness. Honey, do you know who I am?” My real dad asked as I frowned and said… No!

My dad’s face fell as I grinned and called him

Dad!

Everyone cheered loudly. But my heart was heavy. Chase was not here, neither was Charlotte.

“Where is Charlotte?” I said slowly after they helped me up on the bed and gave me a cup of water to drink.

They glanced at each other and said,

“Chase hasn’t left her side since you two were brought in. She is still in a coma. The doctor said she may survive but possibility of brain damage was high”.

I didn’t know which one was worse, the man you love abandoning you at the time of need to be with the girl that had the exact face of his dead first love or the fact that I was jealous of someone who got shot instead of me and saved my life.

Life truly sucks.

Hours later, Emma came to me with a wheelchair and said,

“Do you want to go for a walk? I think it would do you good” she said as I wanted to shake my head but I thought hard against it. It was better than wallowing in self pity. I had been asleep for days and Chase hasn’t come to pay me a visit not even once.

She rode slowly down the hallways as we kept on talking… well she talked and I listened. And for some reason, she took me to the balcony where it was cool and empty.

“Can I get you a drink?” She asked as I nodded my head.

Although it was a bit dark, I wasn’t scared staying alone for five minutes.

“I will be right back. ” She said as she left me.

I watched the view for a while when suddenly the whole place was filled with light and in the blinding lights stood the man I thought I would never see again….. Chase!

“Chase…” I said with hitched breath as I savoured the man in front of me.

He looked rigid and by the way that he was clenching and unclenching his fists, it seemed like he didn’t want to be here.

Did my father force him here?

“Calista, I….. I don’t know how to say this. But I am tired of being quiet and watching you slip from my hands. I know that you think that I hate you because of the way I have been treating you this past few days and how it has taken this long for me to come and see you after you survived, it’s….. I didn’t know how to face you. I felt stupid because….. I almost lost you twice before I realized that I am in love with you” He said in one breath as my eyes widened.

I didn’t even know when I was struggling to get up from my wheelchair. I could walk, I just liked being in a wheelchair.

He rushed towards me and helped me to stand properly. That was when I noticed the WILL YOU MARRY ME SIGN at the back.

“Oh my God….. Oh my God?!!” I said again as I watched him get on his knees and bring out a box and opened it. In it contained the most beautiful ring that I had ever seen which looked blurry or I was crying.

“Will you marry me and make me the happiest Mafia father in the world? and I promise, he won’t shoot guns till he is ten” He said as my brain registered on what he said.

Father….. was I? Am I….. I looked at him and he nodded his head.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

” Oh my God… Yes I will”. I said as he put the ring on my fingers and kissed me.
