Married To The Mafia Lord

Chapter 13

“Good morning ma’am, your parents asked me to call you to join them at the dining table because I just served breakfast,” the chef said as she smiled softly.

My heart that was already racing fast calmed down for a moment and I managed to force a smile at her too, my heart was racing fast earlier, I already expected my dad, I thought he has probably being eavesdropping on my conversation with Peter, I know well that if that happens then it would not only increase my days if being locked in this house but now my phone and credit card might probably be seized too, and also my plans that has already seem to be working out would get totally ruined! I sighed.

“Are you okay ma’am? Should I call mom?” The chef asked as she looked extremely surprised to see my body movements which I didn’t do on purpose.

“No no! You don’t need to call anyone , I’m doing just good, I was only surprised to see you here this early, I thought it was dad, and why is breakfast prepared this early?” I asked as I gave the chef a confusing look because it's obviously too early for breakfast to be ready in my house except there is an order to prepare it so early.

“Yes! Dad asked me specially to make sure breakfast is prepared early today because he has some meeting to catch up this morning too and he wants to eat before leaving,” she said as she explained carefully to me.

“Oh that’s fine, tell them to carry on, that I’m coming to join them in a few minutes,” I said as I smiled and turned and walked back into my room and closed the door gently, I could hear her footsteps as she walked back downstairs.

Everyone in the house has no other choice than to compromise for dad in most situations, why should we all be eating breakfast this early just because he has a meeting to catch up? What would it take him to eat alone and leave the rest of us to eat whenever we eventually get ready?! My dad is really difficult. I refuse to be forced to disagree with any of his decisions. I would continue to do anything he wants just so he trusts me enough to allow me to leave the house for a while.

I came out of the bathroom and used my towel to wipe my face dry, I just finished brushing my teeth and my breathe felt fresh as ever, I had to do that fast, I wouldn’t want my dad coming upstairs to scream my name, or maybe he wouldn’t do that right now since we seem to no longer be in a disagreement state, I took my phone and as I was about to open the door my memory immediately gave me a quick flashback of how dad almost caught Peter calling me, I sighed and walked back into my room and placed my phone on my bed then walked out of my room.

I walked fast through the stairs and headed towards the dinning immediately.

“Hello Jean! How was your night?” Dad said as he sighted me behind him.

“Why haven’t y’all started eating?” I asked as I saw that both my mom and dad are yet to open up the tray used to cover their food, talk more of to begin eating.

“That’s because we were waiting for you! Now, come join us fast!” Dad said as he pointed to the empty seat beside him that was reserved for me.

“Omg! I meant it when I asked her to tell y’all to start eating that I would join you, you really didn’t need to wait for me like this, especially you dad! Not even when you have a meeting to catch up,” I exclaimed to my parents as I sat down comfortably.

“I miss seeing my daughter eat, I just really need to see you eat more often,” dad said as he smiled at me and a part of my heart melted as I smiled sheepishly.

“And remember we love you so much always!” Mom added and now I chuckled.

“Alright !! I love you both too! Let’s eat,” I said as I cut off the emotional drama that my parents just commenced and they were clearly not ready to end.

We all laughed and like one big family that we are and we started eating, it feels like a very big blessing to have a great family that loves you, it suddenly feels like dad is picking me over his mafia group but that’s a lie though, the meeting is probably not something so important, I snapped out of my thoughts and started eating too immediately to avoid being asked if the food isn’t good enough.
