the abused wife of the Mafia King

chapter25

Lana POV

Seeing me worried, Long asked, “What’s got you worried sister?”.

I shook my head and didn’t say anything, how could I make them deal with my burden?

“Lana, do you consider me as a brother?”, Long asked again.

I nodded at him.

“Of course,”, I said, still thinking about ways to make Nicolas leave me.

“Then, what is truly bothering you?” Long asked, knowing that I was not okay.

I stayed quiet, unable to bring my feelings into words.

After a few minutes of silence, I finally spoke, “Brother Long, I really don’t want to hurt Nicolas, but my life is not that easy”, I said as he continued to drive.

A tear rolled down my eyes, as I thought about parting from him.

“You won’t hurt him intentionally?”, he said.

“In order not to hurt him, I have to part from him, even though it is the hardest decision I have to make”, I said as I realized the gravity of the situation, I was in.

“Tell me what is bothering you, and I will help you, so, you don’t have to part from him”, Long said, as we reached the hotel.

I continued to sob gently, I have fallen for Nicolas, and it breaks my heart to put him through the heartbreak.

“I have committed to support my mother, she is not well, and I have promised to make our living better, I have to uphold my promise”, I said, leaving Dan, out of the equation.

“If your mother is your only worry, then leave it to me, I will handle it from today onwards, I will project and support your mother in any way I can”, he said, like it was nothing.

I smiled at him, knowing that he didn’t know the reality of my messed-up life. And I couldn’t let him find out.

“Thank you, brother, Long, but I think this is my burden to hold, and I would like to do it myself please, I will ask you for help when I can no longer take it”, I said as I got out of the car.

“Let me drop you to your room”, he said, as he was about to unbuckle his seatbelt.

I quickly waved my hand, “No brother Long, I will be fine to walk up”, I said as I waved my hand at him before I walked towards the lift.

I headed into my room and closed the door behind me, leaning on the door as I fell on my knees, I was falling fast and hard, and it was making me want to throw up every time I thought about going back to the old life.

I have someone who genuinely loves me here, I also have a brother here, and I have my dream job here, so going back seemed like a bad idea. I decided to call Dan and beg him to let me be.

I picked myself up and walked into my bedroom, I got my phone out of my pocket and dialed my mother's number first.

It rang a few times before she finally answered.

“Why the f**k are you calling me now? you w***e of a daughter”, she screamed at me from over the phone. I thought she would be happy to hear my voice after so many days but no.

“Mum, what is going on?”, I ask her in worry.

“You are very selfish Lana, you left me here to starve, you don’t call or send money”, she spat at me, like it was my responsibility to look after her.

I start to sob at the thought of my mum starving.

“Mum, I am working here, I will call you here, do you want to come here, I have a good job and it pays well as well?”, I asked her as I tried to wipe my years away.

“No, I am well where I am, I don’t need you, I just need you to send me money”, she spat and cut the call.

I fell on my knees and sobbed, hugging myself as I cried my heart out.

How could a mother be so selfish, how could she be so careless about her daughter?

I was crying when my phone rang, and this time it was Dan.

I hesitated but finally answered it.

“You lying b***h, you said you will get a job and come back here, and now you want to take your mother from me?”, he yelled at me from over the phone.

“Dan, you have to let us go, I have to save my mother from the life she is living right now”, I said as I sobbed.

“You are a f*****g b***h”, he said but continued, “You know what, I will leave your mother, but you have to come to me”, he said as he smirked at me from over the phone, causing me to throw up in my mouth.

“Dan, you don’t have to do this, you are a lot older than I am, I don’t want to be with you, you are like a father to me”, I said as I sat down on the bed, tears still rolling down my cheeks.

“Hehe, choose one sweetie, it’s either you or your mother”, he laughed at my helpless.

Before I could say anything, he spoke again. “Nah, I already f****d your mother, I don’t need that lousy b***h, I need a fresh p***y to f**k, one that will bleed when I f**k”, he said in his evil tone.

“I hope you have not lost your virginity, otherwise your mother will suffer greatly in my hands”, he warned me and hung up.

I sobbed as I thought about what would happen If I didn’t control myself around Nicolas, I could not be selfish and let Nicolas take me, knowing that my mother would suffer in the hands of that bastard.

I continued to sob until I heard the doorbell.

I got up and quickly wiped away my tears, plastering a fake smile, I ran to the door and opened it.
