A Mafia's possessive Love

Suspect

Two days had already after the Montessori left the Troy Estate, Anabel visited her parents to see how well they were holding up and Luca welcomed her in with a warm embrace.

“Mom has been expecting you” He said, he had been so worried that Anabel would neglect them because of the accusations placed on Charlotte. Luca tried to keep a straight face while talking to her but Anabel could see right through him.

“How is mom?” She asked dropping her bag on the chair, she left to see them immediately she was done with work.

“Unstable” he answered, Charlotte’s mood would switch based on each moment,

“Sometimes she is sad, sometimes she is angry, sometimes she cries, you know it is painful to be accused of something you didn’t do” he described.

Anabel agreed with him, she knew that he would always believe his mother and never stand against her. That’s what family does but her situation was different, it was her husband and son against her mother, choosing between them was not an option.

She knocked on the door of Charlotte’s room and walked in,

“Hi mom, dad” she greeted, Charlotte was leaning on Montessori as she cried holding a picture of baby Kadmiel, she remembered seeing fear and disgust in his eyes when he looked at her. It was painful for her to recall that.

“I will give you two a minute” Montessori excused himself and strolled out.

“Mom, you shouldn’t be crying” she knelt of front of her wiping her tears. This was one of thing she hated, she hated to see her mom cry when her health was still in critical condition, it could make her condition worse.

“You didn’t see the look on his face, my Grandson hates me” Charlotte disclosed to her with a shredded heart. It was painful to see someone she loved be scared of her.

“He is just a kid, he will accept you again” she answered but it was more like a though which could never happen, it takes a lot to build trust and Anabel was aware that Kadmiel must have lost his trust in his Grandma after what happened.

“When will he, after he is old and I am already dead. I don’t have much time to live Anabel, it is either my health or the fact that I am aging that would lead to my death.

All I always wished for was to have my family whole for the rest of my life”

When Charlotte was reunited with Anabel she was glad to have a complete family, then Dylan appeared and they had a son who was also added, she wanted her family to remain happy that way but fate had something else in store.

“Mom don’t say that, you won’t die” Anabel coaxed her, she never liked the idea of someone she loved leaving her much less her mom.

“I am here to fix things okay” She helped her up and took her down to the living where Luca and Montessori were seated.

“So what do we do now, it is not like this issue is going to go away like gossip does” Luca began the conversation.

“Right now, Dylan is trying his best to find out more about the cult, he isn’t trying to blame mom for it because of Kadmiel” Anabel communicated with them stating how her husband was handling things.

“I will try to find more about them also” Luca answered.

Montessori sat quietly watching them, he blamed himself for having his children caught up in a mess that he and his wife created, he thought that they had escaped the cult but rather they were waiting for the perfect time to catch up to them and haunt them.

“Mom, are you sure you don’t have anyone you suspect, like a sibling or something?” Luca asked and they all turned to her, since she was the prime suspect then it must have something to do with her.

“No, I was the only child of my parents. I have no cousins, if I did I am not sure they know me” She answered back, her family line wasn’t that big for her to forget if she had a sibling who looked just like her.

“How about a plastic surgery done by someone who hates you the most, you don’t know if they had planned this for a while” Luca kept on bringing absurd yet reasonable ideas, he seemed to have documentary on crime cases and scenarios.

“How would I know that?” Charlotte yelled at him, apart from the cult she was sure she had no other enemy who would go through such length to look like her.

“Whoever is behind this placed you as the bait for a reason mom, are you sure there is no one that you had double crossed” Anabel questioned, the slightest information could help them start finding the clues or pinpoint them to the way of the real culprit.

“I have told you guys earlier, I don’t know of anyone” Charlotte screamed holding her head, the constant questions had caused her to have a split headache just trying to think of who she had offended in this world to do this to her.

“Why don’t you let your mother be for now, you can talk to her later” Montessori chimed in scared about her health, he escorted her back to the room where she laid in the bed to rest.

“Let me see you off” Luca said being the gentleman that he slowly turning into, stepping out the house and walking a bit further to the car she noticed something odd about him.

“Have you been going to the Gym” she asked, his muscles were out adding to his broad shoulders and his firm chest.

“Why, do you think only your husband is allowed to look good and muscular” He teased her with a loud laughter.

“Oh, you cannot compare yourself to my man, he would always beat you” Anabel boasted, being married to Dylan was one of the best choices she made in her life and she was ready to defend him no matter what.

“I know, but this is not just for my looks, it is for you guys” He bellowed with a serious tone.

“I want to be able to protect the family the way your husband does with his” he added making her regret mocking him for that.

“Dear brother, I am glad that you are trying your best, atleast now I have a brother I can lean on” she phrased touching his shoulders.

“I even have a black belt in taewondo, you outta be shocked” he played around with his fist cheering her up in his usual way.

“I am beyond shocked, it would be nice to have a protective and strong brother”

“So I was weak before?”

“Uhmm, I mean you couldn’t even fight or exchange blows”

“I had my brains for that” he objected, Luca had always bragged about how smart he was, that was his only capability and his business was showing how much of a brainiac he was.

“I will see you next time, take care of the family” Anabel instructed hugging him before she hopped into the car and left.
