The Stubborn One

Episode 20

“What do you want couldn’t you see I was kinda busy?” I said giving him a what the f**k look and crossed my arms.

“I could see very well what you were doing and I could also see you disturbing the members work.” He answered back annoyed and crossing his arms as well mimicking me.

“I was just expressing my feelings.” I answered blankly.

“I told Carlo to drive your car and I wouldn’t have had to if you hadn’t left behind my back gotten yourself pissed drunk.” He said getting obviously more annoyed.

“I have the right to do whatever I want to do whenever I want to do it.” I argued back to him.

“No principessa that’s where you are wrong you see you are in my Mafia and I getting fed up with you and your bratty behaviour, I’m sick of putting up with your shit.” He said angrily.

“You didn’t have a problem with me when we were fucking.” I answered and for a second I could see lust in his eyes but they quickly changed back to mad again.

“You don’t get to use that card on me.” He roared.

I was about to again argue back to him but my attention drifted to the knock on the door.

“Entra (come in).” Rafael said and started to massage his temple.

“Il capo signorina La madre di Ella è all'ingresso. (boss miss Ella's mother is at the entrance).” The member said to Rafael I didn’t understand what he said but I heard my name so I know it’s about me.

Rafael took a deep breath and then turned to me.

“Your mother is awaiting you at the entrance.” He said.

Confusion consumed me as my mum is all the way back in America but not only that but she would tell me if she was visiting, mum had already said that she wouldn’t be visiting for a while because of Ethan.

“That doesn’t make sense.” I answered.

“Maybe she came to surprise you.” Rafael said mockingly.

“My mums at home with my little brother.” I said and I could see Rafael confused as well now.

I followed the member to where supposedly my mum is

We reached at the entrance to find a woman, I could tell I wasn’t my mum and she’s not ginger, and if you are ginger you know the nightmare of dying your hair so you just avoid it at all costs, and the woman’s figure was nothing like my mums.

I pulled out my gun and pointed it at however this imposter is.

I saw shock on Rafael’s face, he’s never met my mum so he wouldn’t know if this is my mum or not, he would also be confused that if this was my mum why I would be pointing a gun at her head.

The woman turned around and I felt myself drift into my thoughts.

My eyes started to water and my feet unconsciously steeped further and further back.

Though the size of the warehouse is massive I could feel myself close in and suffocate.

I was brought back out of my cruel and evil playing mind by Rafael who was by my side and looked genuinely worried about me.

I take my eyes back to the woman to make sure I had really seen it correctly.

This woman is a slightly older version of the woman who I was told was my biological mother.

This is the woman who my parents would tell me about and the woman who my parents told me to be grateful for and she gave me to them.

However they also told me she told them she loved me and didn’t want to leave me.

They also told me she was f*****g dead but unless this woman is back from the dead I don’t know, or maybe it’s her long lost identical twin.

I was brought out of my thoughts yet again when I heard her say,

“Ella you look so grown up my daughter.” 

“I’m not your daughter.” I answered back.

I saw hurt in her face but soon it was gone, there wasn’t even a slight hint of guilt in her face.

“Ella I am your mother, I gave birth to you.” She said and tried to get close to me.

“No, you are not my mother, my mother is at home with my baby brother, my mother has looked after me most my life, my mother hasn’t left me and my mother didn’t pretend to die of cancer and leave me at someone’s door step, may I add that it was a complete stranger, someone who had no connection with me by blood, but I’m glad you did because I got the best family I could ask for so now if you don’t mind get the f**k out before I call security.” I said to her, I hate showing weakness but I don’t think I’ve ever been so hurt so I can’t seem to hold it back.

She passed me a letter and then left.

I at Rafael to see him on a call to Carlo, he was speaking in English so I could understand what he was saying, he sounded pissed and he was asking who allowed the woman in the warehouse.

After a couple of seconds everything started hitting me stronger than before when she was actually standing in front of me.

I broke down to my knees and started sobbing.

I couldn’t stop, the tears wouldn’t stop.

I felt Rafael’s strong arms around me and picking me up.

I couldn’t see where we were going as my tearful eyes are making everything blurry but I soon felt myself hit a soft bed.

I snuggled in and kept on crying and i don’t know when I fell asleep but I did only to have my dream be filled with memories where that woman was in or brought up.
