The Mafia's Forbidden Bet

Chapter 2—The Offer

(Miedge's POV)

The next morning, I got up early and went to my parents' room. I went down the stairs and just in time I saw them having breakfast.

"Miedge, Sweetheart come, join us and your Dad to eat."

I got off, and went to the table to join the meal.

"Mom, Dad, Because I'm going to make collages, I'm going to stay at Aunt Beth's house. Their house is close to the school, because also Ela will be studying there, will you agree?"

"Why is your Aunt Beth still with them? There are so many condos there, I'll look for you when you move, just don't stay at your Aunt Beth's," Dad shouted.

"Dad, are you angry? Aunt Beth is no different from us, is she?" I said with a mixture of surprise.

"Honey. What your Dad is suggesting is that he better find you a condo, so you can be alone at home and because you can get used to being without us." Mom's said.

"Ahhh, that's it! So you can get used to it, without us!" Dad said with doubt in his face.

I was about to answer them when my brother arrived.

"Sweetheart, you can eat with us," Dad said.

Vell sat next to me and started eating.

"Oh, why are you so dressed up?" I said.

"Mom, Dad, I actually have a date today, he is one of the daughters of the richest businessman here," he said.

"You are truly what God gave me son, heir to the company, you can be trusted!" Dad said with a big smile in his eyes.

There it is again, my brother's arrogance exists. After he said that, he called the housekeeper, sister Linda, because she wanted to drink hot coffee. When the assistant, sister Linda, accidentally knocked over the coffee she was carrying and spilled it on my brother's clothes.

"Slow down, old maid! Do you know how much this shirt of mine? Mom, Dad, why did you hire an old maid for this household? He's useless. Get out of here, your fired," Vell shouted with anger in his eyes

Sister Linda was immediately helped, and then she was crying, holding the empty cup and pleading.

"You're being silly, that's it, shut up now or I'll make you drag the guards?" Dad said.

"Mom, Dad, sister Linda has been working here for 10 years, are you really going to fire him?" I said.

"That should just be him!" said Vell as he left and went up the stairs and dressed in something new

At the same time, sister Linda was crying so much, I told her that I can do it in a way. My parents didn't have an answer to my questions, and I knew that they would listen to Vell more because of their favoritism.

"I accompanied sister Linda to the kitchen. Sister Linda always took care of me at home when my parents were away and when they were there. As soon as her wound was treated, she continued to cry because how that he will lose his job? He is still raising his four grandchildren. I talked to my parents about this.

"Mom, Dad! You're going to get Sister Linda out of this house! I'm going to live at Aunt Beth's house or she stay there? I'm going to take her there too, and I'm sure Aunt Beth will agree with my decision, she's been here for ten years. Sister Linda is here with us, as long as she's been here, it just happened now, she's loyal to us," I said and shouted.

" People are loyal only because of money, and nothing else? " Dad said.

" Not everyone Dad! you know that he was the one who took care of me when you weren't there and you were there," I answered.

Go ahead! Alright fine, sister Linda will stay here but under one condition. You can't stay at your Aunt Beth's house. If you disobey me, I will evict Sister Linda from this household. Do you understand? Is everything clear?" Dad said calmly.

"Alright, I accept your offer."

I immediately went to Sister Linda in the kitchen to tell the good news. But even so, I still can't believe that they will agree with my decision. I'm happy but with doubts, because why don't they want me to stay with Aunt Beth, she's not different from us?

My mind was really messed up at that time, but I was still overjoyed because I helped Sister Linda and not only that, she also couldn't get away from me because she wouldn't leave.

I saw my Sister Linda still crying, I feel sorry for her, I know that she will not leave and that she will be able to work with us again. He was so happy at that time, so in his happiness he held my hand and hugged me tightly. I also hugged him tightly and we jumped together for joy.

When she realized that he hugged me too much, she quickly let go of my hand and apologized, I immediately said that it's ok, Sister Linda! He smiled and whispered 'you and your mother are so similar, so kind, even beautiful.

I immediately said, "What?"

"Ohh, no, forget that," Sister Linda said.

That time I immediately realize Aunt Beth. I go to my bedroom, call her and talk to her. I tell all the things happened and all he said was that Mom and Dad should be understood, because they are my parents and they should be the ones to make decisions in my life because I am still studying, they know what's the best for me that's why I know that they will eventually make something that will be the best of me.

I know that they have a lot of ego, and I can't deny that at all, I know to myself that there's something that is wrong with me, I know that I can't be the one that is going to bring fortune for them but I am trying.
