Her Wretched Past

Chapter 3

It was 8 pm when we reached the airport Jason was devastated Mother was still Scared. Julia met us at the airport.

"Mira... She smiled while waving her hand in the air

"Julia, did you inform our brother?" I asked her

"Yes," she said

"Good and what about Sam?"

"Yes, he knows too"

"Okay well did you bring what I asked you to?"

"Yes, the g*n is with me"

"Okay let's go"

We all went inside the plane where Captain Juan was waiting for us he's been my captain since... well always, wherever I went he took me there safely.

"Captain Juan" we shook hands as we greeted each other

"Rosaline wait he took a short pause and then continued saying “it's Mira now isn't it?"

"Well, Rosaline works just fine" *chuckles*

"Let's go then," he said while putting his hat and placing it on his head and walking into his cabin. We all sat in our seats and the plane started to move my thoughts were scattered like a broken plate I was worried for my father, my brother and the rest of my g**g members, everyone has so much faith in me but I have no idea about what I am doing, I brought my mother with me which was the scariest part Jason has seen me for what I am but my mom hasn’t. I looked at her she was scared and maybe she was crying. “I won't let anything happen to any of you guys I promise you that,” I said in my mind. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and looked out of the window we were 35 thousand feet above the ground as the plane was stable. I got up and went to the washroom to change my clothes as I was wearing a sweatshirt and sweatpants. After some time I came out wearing my signature dress which was a black long gown my hair was tied in a bun with the stick and wearing a gold bracelet which spelt RD.

*Rosaline Delfino*

My mother wasn’t shocked to see this transformation. I guess she is getting used to this. The rest of the plane ride was silent Jason and their mother were asleep. Julia and I were talking about how to move our things further. After some time I and Julia decided to take a rest for a bit.

"Rose you should rest for some time," she said and was packing the things

"Yes you should too Julia you look tired," I said as I readjusted myself on the seat.

"Yeah sure," She smiled at me and closed her eyes.

She instantly went to sleep her eyes are like a switch as soon as she closes them she goes to sleep she's so cute I thought to myself admiring my cute sister face I'm glad to have a sister and a best friend like her. As I was sitting some random thoughts kept running in my mind and I remembered the time when I first came to Italy.

My family was not rich back then my mother struggled a lot to buy me a plane ticket and now here I am 8 years later having my private jet. Well, life has its ways

*8 years ago*

“Look honey, it's a long flight make sure to eat and call me when you reach their okay?”

“Yes mama I will eat and call you as soon as I land okay I gotta go goodbye Mom”

“Bye Mira” I hugged her tightly and I went to check in I'm finally going to Italy today it is my dream place. I'm so excited as well as sad because I’m going so far without my mother. My mother did so much for me getting this plane ticket wasn't an easy job for her but she managed it without any complaints I promise you one thing mom I will work hard and get rich just wait for mom.

*After some time*

“Oh My God! I feel sick, Deep breaths Mira, deep breaths” After some time I felt that the plane was stable which means we're in the air. I looked out of the window and it was so beautiful. As if I was on top of the world. And just with these random calming thoughts, I survived my 13 hours long flight

*Ladies and gentlemen I request you to please wear your seat belts as we are going to land very soon*

After I heard the announcement I wore my seat belt and I started taking deep breaths again. The plane finally landed and Italy is…Italy is very beautiful oh let me just call my other otherwise shell keep worrying about me “Hello, Mom yes my flight just landed and I’m already in love with Italy, it is so beautiful” 

“Take care of yourself honey and send me pictures” she doesn’t want to Italy she wants to see my pictures she wants to see Italy 

“Yes, Mama bye”

“Bye,” I said and hung up the call while looking for a taxi. Suddenly a taxi stopped in front of me. 

“Hai Bisogno di un taxi?” (Do you need a taxi?) The taxi driver asked Ok so now we need a taxi oh there I see Mira now is the time you put those 5 years of learning Italian I took a deep breath before answering. 

‘Si, Grazie” (Yes, Thank You) 

I got in the taxi and was on my way to the hotel.

*On the other hand Delfino’s house*

*Albert slaps Carlos*

“How many times do I have to tell you, Carlos, we don’t sell drugs, did you forget what happened last time we tried to sell drugs I don’t this to happen again or do you want me to give the business to Julia?”

“She is not ready padre”

“And neither are you after the stunt you just pulled, tomorrow at the AGM (Annual General Meeting) I am going to the announcement of my extension of 1 year and I want you to take a d**g test before coming to the meeting…

“But padre why do I have to take the test I only sold drugs I didn’t take any”

“If you didn’t take any then what are you afraid of taking the test tomorrow morning, do you understand?”

“Si, padre”

“Julia keep an eye on him tell me if he does anything okay?”

“Yes father, get some sleep you look tired we have to go to the hospital tomorrow after meeting”

“Oh, yes I almost forgot, you should also sleep, good night,” Albert said while walking to his bedroom 

“Good night” Julia replied with a smile.

 *A week later* 

So far everything is good Italy is amazing I got a part-time job in a café with my boss she seems like a nice person they pay is also good and she even helps me with my studies. 

“Madam I need to talk to you” 

“You want holidays from tomorrow right?” How does this woman know everything? I thought to myself. 

“Yeah, how do you know?”

“Isn’t that obvious you’re exams are starting from tomorrow study hard and score good marks if you do I’ll give you a raise

“A raise?” I was very happy after hearing that she has always been an understanding person. 

“Yes” 

She might not be the best boss but she sure is understanding. I was cleaning the table when suddenly we heard gunshots I flinched when I heard those shots. The glass shattered there were small broken glass pieces were scattered everywhere.

Looking for my boss, I saw her lying there on the floor as blood was gushing out from her abdomen.

I searched for my phone in the pocket of my apron as I found my phone I called the ambulance.
