OLIVIA
I was even more confused, what the hell was the woman talking about? She must have been confused and grieving for her husband. We both knew that my parents died in an ident when I was little. My father couldn’t have been the one who killed her husband. Maybe she was just looking for someone to me for what happened.
I understood and I didn’t hold a grudge against her, that was until I heard the rest of it. “Mom, you know Olivia’s parents died a long time ago. Come on, sit down I will ask the maid to make you tea. It will calm you down.”
“No! I don’t want tea and the man who died is not her father. My brother, Luke, the man you have been working with in Summer Strand is her father. He told me everything today and even told me that he is watching you too Nick.” My head buzzed; I was no longer interested in leaving but in understanding what she <b>was </b>talking about.
How could her brother be my father? That was impossible, right? “Mom, what are you saying?” Nick enquired after ncing at me. I wanted to know the same thing. I no longer cared about my sore throat. “Luke is not my biological brother, my parents adopted him before I was born and I never knew. He <b>told </b>me <b>today</b>,
We continued to stare at <b>her</b>, I was not interested in that part of the story I was more interested in him being my father, “He told me that he and Olivia’s mother were in a rtionship, but father forbade him from being with her and threatened to kill her and her unborn child if he didn’t listen<b>.</b>” <b>She </b>red at me.
“He left her mother while she was still pregnant with her? my knees grew weak, <b>and </b>tension gathered on my shoulders. What was I hearing, how could my father not be my father? “But mom, I still don’t understand why he would after father for something I did. I was the one who wronged Olivia and if he wanted revenge then he should have <be </b>after me.”
His mother looked at him then broke down and cried, “He wanted us to feel the pain of losing someone we love just as he lost <b>Olivia’s </b>mother and couldn’t raise his daughter. He said killing your father will serve as revenge for what my father did to him. I want this woman out of my house Nick, your father is dead because of her.”
She red at me so hard that if looks could kill, I would have been dead already. But I couldn’t concentrate on that. My real father <b>was </b>alive and has been watching me from a distance because her father forbade him from being a father to me, why?
“I am not at fault; I didn’t ask him to do <b>this</b>. Why would you me me for the <b>sins </b>of someone I don’t even know and why would he listen to your father when he forbade him from being with my mother and me?” his mother chuckled and stood.
Nick quickly stood blocking her way and preventing her from getting to me. her eyes <b>were </b>zing with anger <b>and </b>hatred<b>. </b>“You don’t know who I am or what I am capable of. What my family and your so–called father is capable of. No one says no to my father!”
all this,
The conversation was getting even more confusing, Why couldn’t people say no to her father, was he God? I certainly didn’t think so. “Why don’t you tell me then? From what <b>I </b><b>am </b>hearing your father is the <b>caus </b>why are you not ming him, is it because he is a god no one says no to?” she chuckled.
I <b>had </b>to admit that chuckled send cold shivers running down my spine. I had never seen the woman like that before and she scared the shit out of me. but I was not going to leave until I hear what that was all about.
“He <b>might </b>as well be a god, my father is the Don, head of a <b>mafia </b>family in Summer Strand <b>and </b>his word isw. My brother, your father is his son, and you <b>can </b>guess little one what kind of monster he is to be sitting at his right- hand side. Killing is <b>a </b>hobby for him, and I am going to make you pay for what he did to my husband!”
<b>I </b><b>had </b>not even processed the fact that I <b>had </b>a father I didn’t know about <b>and </b><b>now </b>I had to hear that he belonged to a mafia family and that he killed people for fun. My head buzzed it was too much to <b>take </b>in. Why didn’t he appear
when I was thrown in jail, when I went through everything that I went through.
Why appear now when I was doing well for myself why was he even seeking revenge for me when he didn’t care if I lived or died in that prison. I had a lot of questions and no answers. I couldn’t even ask Nick’s mother as she seemed to have only found out about the whole thing today
There was also the fact that the hated me now. Nick on the other hand said nothing. He just took a seat and hung his head low. “Get the fuck out of my house Olivia before you leave in a body bag” I nced at Nick, and he didn’t move from where he sat. I guess the hatred 1 felt for him was now mutual.
I turned to leave but her words stopped me dead in my tracks “Watch your back Olivia because I am not going to let this go” She was the second person to threaten me that way. First it was Sandra and now her. I bailed my hands into fists with my nails digging in the palm of my hand.
I didn’t care about what she was going to do to me, I cared about her going after my son to hurt me.
“Bring it on then, I would rather team up with the devil than let youe anywhere near me. mark my words, youe after me, I find my so–called father and team up with him to cause you more pain than what you are feeling right now. Try me.”
