mafia love

Chapter 3

Without thinking about what she was doing, her feet carried her to the stage, she took the mic from the MC, feeling the rage building inside her, common sense flew out the window. “hello everyone, my name is Skylar Stone, fiancé to Brett Wild, I would like to know what is going on here” she said calmly, and the room went silent, even the music stopped. The was no sound for a moment before people began to chatter about what was actually happening. She looked at her parents and the happy couple, they looked shocked, as if they didn’t expect her to suddenly show up. She could see the surprise and hate that were swimming in their eyes even from a distance, but even then, she still could not believe it, so she went off the stage, with people clearing the way for her as she made her way towards her family and that of Brett. “hello mom, dad, Amelia, Brett” she greeted them politely and also Greeted her former-in-laws. “what are you doing here?” this was the first thing her mother said to her, both angry and annoyed. Mrs stone was a very beautiful woman, blond curly hair, ocean blue eyes, and curves in all the right places, her father tall, a bit pale, jet black hair, this two people really aged well, her sister was a natural red head, took after her mother’s body and blue eyes.

“he let me go for one day. I wanted to spend it with all of you, but I come home to this. So can anyone explain to me what the hell is going on” her voice rose, attracting the attention towards them. “I’m busy trying to find my way back, and you guys are not even looking. Instead you go and get engaged to my sister? tell me this is all fake, I’m out now, I’m back, we can be together” she said, almost pleading to Brett, holding his jacket, built he looked at her in disgust, and it made her body shiver and her heart broke. She was shoved away by her mother and she fell to the ground. “no one here cares about you, instead we were all thankful when he took you, which makes me wonder what a powerful man like him could see in you.” Her mother spat venom to her. “what are you talking about, I don’t want him, even if he wanted me, I only want you Brett? mother how could you say you don’t care about me, I’m your daughter” she said, looking pitiful. “my daughter? You are not my daughter, just an abomination my husband brought home. Now I want you to leave, no one here is eager to see you” she said pushing her towards the exit. “Amelia, please help me, explain to me what is going on her” she cried to her sister and she smiled at her.

“Skylar, this marriage agreement was between the Wild and the Stone families, it’s a known fact that no family would accept an illegitimate child. That’s why from the start, he has been with me. He never loved you, it has always been me” Amelia whispered to her and she felt her world come grumbling down, her body shook involuntarily and she looked at the man that she loved with a broken heart, praying he would deny it all, that he would tell her that he loved her and that he was forced into all this. “it’s true, I have been with Amelia, I love her, I never loved you.” He said cruelly, and everything just shuttered. “no. no. NO! NO! NO! this is all a lie, you love me, you don’t love her” she cried holding on to him, everyone watched and began to mock her. “let go of me Skylar, I don’t love you. Just look at yourself, what’s there to love on you. Even to such a big event, all you could pull off was converse, leggings and an oversized hoodie? Have you no shame?” he hissed at her then pushed her off him. “I’ll change; I’ll be anyhow you want me to be…” she sobbed but was cut off by a loud slap that had her dropping to the floor, she looked up to bee that it was Brett that just hit her. “I said I don’t want you, now leave” he hissed, pointing her towards the door, she looked at her sister and mother, and they had triumphant smiles, then she looked at her father, but her just gave her an evil glare, showing clearly his displeasure to see her.

Before she could say anything the guards came and dragged her out, throwing her out the door, but she did not miss the mocking looks of people. They all pointed fingers towards her, accusing her of being a shameless woman for going after what was not meant for her. She couldn’t help but laugh, he was not meant for her? That man was promised to her through their entire childhood, they grew up together, she loved him her entire life, and all of a sudden, the was a third party, no one cared that she was just made a joke out of. In just a couple of hours her whole life came crushing down, it all seemed like a sick joke, but she was not going to give up, she loved him, and he must love her too, it must just be their families forcing him. her family must have just been embarrassed. That must be it. She tried to convince herself but her heart could not be fooled, everything that happened was encrypted in her heart. She sat there on the ground, too broken to move, her heart felt heavy. “it’s time to leave young miss, you can’t sit here all day. You know you only have until midnight” she heard the cold voice of Malcom, she turned, tear faces, to meet the expressionless man.

“this is what he had planned, is it not?” she asked between sobs, sounding heart broken. The only thing she could think of is that, this must all be Caleb’s plan, why else would he let her go today. “I can assure you that boss had nothing to do with this. Yes, he let you out. You wanted to return back to your life, and he gave you just that, do you even know how hard it was to convince him to give you a day out?” Malcom said protecting his boss but also keeping himself in her good books, he was a smart man. He understood that his bosses plan was to destroy her, but he needed to keep him clean, but by saying he was the one who plead on her behalf, he was getting in her good books, he understood that as long as he had her by his side, even his boss could never touch him. He took her to the car, “so where else do you want to go?” he asked the broken girl that just sat there not talking, with tears streaming down her face. “to Stacy” she answered simply, voice hoarse. At this moment, she needed the only person she could trust, her best friend, she needed a shoulder to cry on and she was the best choice.
