His Mafia Heiress

Bastards

     Chapter 4

--Anika—

“You sold me?” I yelled at him resentful

“You are the only one who can save our company, the hospital you love. I can’t see that company owned by people we don’t know, the Scott company group is broke” He said, full of conviction in his eyes.

“What kind of f*****g solution is that” I shot back

“You better watch you f*****g mouth” he glared at me, causing me to roll my eyes.

“How the f**k do you expect me to react? You sold your only child just to save that f*****g company?”

“You said, you’ve wanted to help, this is the only choice they gave us” He explained

“Yes, I wanted to help, but not like this, I have a lot of connection, I can fix this” I said full of confidence, I will do anything for that hospital, for me that's more than a hospital, it's my extended home. 

“This is not just about the company, I’m sorry Anika," He said while rubbing his temple  "they will kill us, and they will kill you once we didn’t do this” He comes near me and holds my hands, my mom suddenly open the door and come near to us. “I heard shouting, what is going on” Looking at my eyes, I know tears are falling down my face.

“I told her already” My dad said while rubbing the back of my mother to calm her. I walk towards the door when my father said “Anika, they will come in an hour” I ignored him and continue walking to my old room. I sit at my couch looking at the sea reflecting the color of the sky, it brings calmness to whoever is looking in it. I inhaled and closed my eyes. "Jesus” I muttered. I stand and go to my music room, whenever I feel lost or trying to construct my thoughts. I play violin, guitar or drums, but piano is my favorite.

My parents never showed me love, or affection even just a sympathy, when I became a doctor at a young age I thought they will recognize me already, I thought when I’ll be like my father, they will notice me. We never had bonding, laughing while eating, sharing ideas not like the other families, but I never thought they can do this to me. Never enter in my mind that those bastards can sell me just for that useless company. When I stepped in the music room, I played a song in the speaker, sit in front of my piano and start sobbing like a kid who was punished for no reason. After I while, I turn it off and play on my organ.

I started pressing keys on my piano and start singing. “I will not make the same mistake that you did, I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery, I will not break the way you did, you fell so hard, I learn the hard way to never let it get that far” This is the first song that pops my mind, it sings for my heart. I promised myself that I will never be like my parents for my future child, Never.

I know my world will be devoid from now on. I have to be firm to surpass that, after all I’m Anika.
