Chapter 66 – Damien

I was in the doorway of the dining room, watching everything play out piece by piece: the broken plate, the stain on the floor, Kayla’s wet cheeks already dried by Maria’s shoulder. Kade who was furious a moment ago was eating from the food Maria brought.

Elena was very still. She was a few feet from the table and a smear on her apron. Her hands hadn’t moved from her hands and I recognized it for what it was: it was the stillness that people used when they wanted to hide ho

  • The Mafia Lord's Forgotten Wife   Chapter 67

    Chapter 67 – TheoElena was by the window when I came in. She seemed distant the way people did when they were afraid that remaining present would make them break. Elena turned and smiled with a cheerfulness that wasn’t there when she finally noticed me. “Theo! You don’t need to keep checking on me. I’m fine.”“I’m doing my job.” I told her, setting my bag on the bed.“You keep rubbing your temple and you winced when you turned your head. So except we are talking about beauty, you aren’t fine.”She watched me with a face that was now deadpan serious. "Is that a crime?""Against your health, yes. How long have the headaches been getting worse?"She hesitated, then gave up. "Some days now. The headaches have been more frequent now."I checked her pupils with the penlight, tested her reflexes. She admitted to being dizzy, having bouts of nausea and blurred visi

    Chapter 66 – DamienI was in the doorway of the dining room, watching everything play out piece by piece: the broken plate, the stain on the floor, Kayla’s wet cheeks already dried by Maria’s shoulder. Kade who was furious a moment ago was eating from the food Maria brought.Elena was very still. She was a few feet from the table and a smear on her apron. Her hands hadn’t moved from her hands and I recognized it for what it was: it was the stillness that people used when they wanted to hide how badly they had been affected by whatever happened.I should have consoled her with some kind words but I didn’t. The words were drowned by the pressure that had been swirling in my chest since the gala. It finally chose now to erupt."Enough, Elena."She turned. "Excuse me?""Stop this charade at once." My voice was low but completely laced with venom and hurt that had been looking for a target. “ Do you think one breakfast would restore everything that you broke? You abandoned them for years

    Chapter 65 ElenaThe dinning room was bright with the morning light that entered through the window. I had thought about this moment for so long, I started hearing my blood pumping. I pictured them eating the meal and eventually giving me a smile.I set the plates gently, bending and whispering to each of them. "I made these for you. I hope you like them."The pancakes had dark edges. I noticed it at the store but told myself it was no big deal. Kayden looked at his plate without zeal and my heart dropped a bit. Kade poked his with his fork and turned it over.A disgusted ire distorted his face. "They look funny."There was humor in my voice. "I know they look darker but they might taste better than they look.Kayden was having none of it. “Mummy Maria makes them better."My smile faltered, but it still remained on my lips. "Then maybe you can teach me how she likes them."Kade shrugged and said nothing. He didn’t refuse; I took it as a small

    Chapter 64 ElenaI woke before everyone and spent the twilight hours of the day thinking about everything that was wrong. I had argued, pushed and insisted, rather than making things better it made them worse. I needed to them see me act as their mother. I had spent so much time trying to convince them that I never contemplated that my actions and words were in opposite directions.I would stop asking them to believe me and start giving them things to remember. I should start small and see where it goes.There was a lot to do before I could beat Maria but this morning could be the start of that race. I rose up, wore a simple dress, tied my hair back and went downstairs.The kitchen was in full flow already. Mrs. Hale was directly two maids when I entered. Her face perfectly still when she saw me. "I'd like to prepare breakfast for the children," I said."The kitchen is for staff, madam."I looked around. “I’m not asking to live here or

    Chapter 63 ElenaI hadn’t slept since the incident. Every time I closed my eye, I could hear the recording starting over and over again, the sound of my voice coming alive and growing to fill up the ballroom as every eye turned towards me. I had told myself that the recording wasn’t true, it must have been doctored but I wasn’t so sure about that stance when morning found me on my bed.I moved to the dressing table and began grooming my hair. The door opened and Kade came in, already dressed for school. My heart was filled with warm that he had come to me. The warmth gave way to trepidation when I saw the glint in his eyes. He hadn’t taken another step further. "Everyone knows now," he said.I lowered the brush. "What does everyone know sweetheart?""Everyone heard what you said. Mummy Maria told us. She said you never wanted us and wished we were never born." His voice was flat, as he obviously tried to bury the hurt he was feeling.My fingers clutche

    Chapter 62 – DamienThe garage was heavily laden with the greasy smell of oil as I stood beside Elena’s car with my hands in my pockets. They were only in there because I didn’t trust they would remain still.Tomas had spent the last thirty minutes under the car, when he finally rolled out, his face told me all I needed to know.“The lines were cut. It was a cut thick enough to make the brakes failed when she had gotten some miles in.”I asked to repeat it again though I heard him clearly the first time."Someone cut the brakes. There is no planet this wasn’t an accident."I could hear my blood pumping as I remembered the black cat with no headlights almost ran her down if it weren’t for Marcus quick reflex."Do you have any idea when this was done?""I can’t say but it should pretty close because the brake fluid is pretty much intact.""Photograph everything and this is be
