A can of worms

Edith’s POV “I want a little girl, so I can dress her like the princess that she is since I am a queen,” Heather uttered, then fondly stroked Murphy’s jaw, “And you, a king.” My response to her antics was a warm smile as I watched them. Murphy and Heather were currently taking me on a stroll around the hospital, as they felt I had been couped up in my room for the past five days. I was sitting on a wheelchair, with Heather and Murphy standing on either sides of me as we overlooked the happenings of the hospital from the uppermost balcony where we were.My gaze flickered to Heather's abdomen, which was somehow still as flat as ever, even though she was now almost three months gone.“Edith, what do you think our baby will be?” Murphy asked, and at that moment, I was immensely glad for the umpteenth time to have gotten past my illicit feelings for him. “Hm,” I hummed, “I think it’s going to be an endearing little baby regardless of their gender.” Although mum was still avoiding the

Wishing her well

Caruso’s POV“Happy birthday, ma.” I told mother, holding out a gift box, which contained the hermes bag that was her birthday gift.“Thank you, carino,” She beamed, pressing a kiss to my cheek as she took the box, “I want a wife and a baby next year, okay?”In response, I simply gave her a polite smile, my mind wandering off to Edith.Edith, who I had left in the hospital yesterday after the truth was revealed and Heather got arrested.As I walked to the balcony away from the booming speakers and my mother’s guests, I instinctively reached into my pocket for a cigar.Upon realizing that it had been two good months since I last held one, I heaved a sigh and rested my hands on the railings.“You didn’t tell sister-in-law about mum’s party,” Denzel’s voice wafted into my ears from behind, “Why is that?”“We are getting an annulment.” I divulged, and heard multiple gasps, which made me huff in distaste.“Why?” Richard sounded distraught.“Exactly!” Denzel shrieked, “What could have possi

The truth

Edith’s POV“Great news. The scans and bloodwork came back normal,” The middle-aged doctor in charge of my case, Doctor Snowman, divulged, as he perused something on his computer.“So, when does she get discharged?” Yvonne asked, squeeezing my shoulders tenderly.“In two days,” He replied, “She needs to conclude her treatment regimen to the hilt.”“Thank you so much, Doctor Snowman.” I said, my thoughts diverting to Caruso, who as from yesterday, had ceased to be my husband.Had this happened two months ago, I would have been elated out of my mind, and ready to channel myself into something productive and profound.Now that I was senselessly in love with Caruso however, it constantly felt like a jagged shrapnel was being slammed against my chest repeatedly, each time I thought about the fact that he would never reciprocate my love.Although I’d told him to stop coming to the hospital, I was saddened that he’d really adhered to my wishes.“You are highly welcome, Mrs Antonelli,” He rep

Kidnapped

Edith’s POV“Sweetheart,” Dad called, his expression profusely solemn as he crossed over to me, “How are you doing?”“What was mum talking about? What did she mean I have a dead mum? What is going on?” I rambled out, ignoring his greeting.Had he arrived say, yesterday or earlier that day, I would have been astounded, but also relieved to see him and Murphy.But the only thing ringing in my head like a giant school bell was everything mum, who I didn’t even know whether to call that anymore, had just blurted out.How was it even possible for me to have another mum, when there was a framed picture of me as an infant in mum’s arms at the hospital?At that moment, I realized that unlike in the one with Heather, she hadn’t worn a hospital gown in mine, but a denim one.Then again, I had never seen anything wrong with that. I had merely assumed that she’d changed out of the hospital dress.“Sweetheart, you need to rest. Wh-““No!” I slammed, as I stood up and moved closer to him, “Don’t at

Nemesis

Caruso’s POV“The goods have now been safely transported to warehouse, boss.” Oscar divulged, as I perused my copy of the annulment paperwork for the umpeenth time that afternoon.As though doing so could magically erase mine and Edith’s signatures, and make us a married couple again.“Okay.” I reluctantly tore my gaze away from the paperwork.The moment Oscar opened his mouth to respond, the door came open as Denzel barged in looking furious, with a newspaper crumpled in his hold.“I will excuse myself, boss.” Oscar replied, then greeted Denzel, who ignored him as he trained a heated glare at me.What could have possibly happened? The question remained unanswered in my head, as I held his glare.“The fuck is this, Caruso?” He snarled, sliding the newspaper onto my desk, “How long have you been hiding these from me?”Confusion festered within me, as I took the newspaper, and on seeing the front page news, which was printed in bold, red letters, I sighed inwardly.“Woman, 30, charged w

Danger

Edith’s POVMy heart dropped to the innermost pit of my belly as the guy, who had called Caruso, ended the call with a manic smirk.Without a doubt, I knew I was in big trouble.Calling it big was probably even understating the level of problem that I’d now been thrusted in.“W-What did he say?” I stuttered out, as the guy slotted his phone into his pocket.It had been roughly a day since I was abducted and brought into a decrepit warehouse that looked like it was a medium thunder storm away from getting destroyed.And I still didn’t know the names of any of my captors.Apart from the bald guy who’d abducted me from the hospital, there was the guy who’d phoned Caruso, as well as another younger guy, who seemed like he was around my age.Currently, I was tied to a chair in my mint green pyjamas, with my feet chained to the ground, as though I was some monstrous creature.But, I knew better than to voice out my complaints, because neither of the guys looked friendly in the slightest.“W

Rescue mission

Caruso’s POVWith my hands bunched and stuffed into my pockets, I paced the computer room, while watching the computer experts as they worked.It had been three days since Edith was abducted by Leo, and there was still nothing that could be used to trace him.Not even the slightest of signals.Suddenly, one of them stopped, a tuft of gasp escaping him.“What is the matter?” I asked, my voice oozing with impatience, “Did you find something?”“Not yet, boss,” He replied, “The wifi went out for a bit, but is back now.”Repressing the urge to scoff at him with irritation, I managed a stiff nod, my thoughts drifting to Edith for the umpteenth time that evening.Only the heavens knew what her state of health was like at the moment.The fact that Leo had yet to call since after that day made the whole situation even more jarring.“Boss,” One of the analysts called, causing me to halt and move closer to him.“Yes?” I uttered.“We got a signal,” He divulged, “A very strong one at that.”Relief

A vital decision

Edith’s POVI kept my gaze rooted on Caruso’s, while remaining still in Leo’s vice grip, in fear of accidentally moving an inch and slitting my throat with his knife.The relief that’d gripped me when Caruso descended the stairs, had been insurmountable.He hadn’t abandoned me after all.“Let her go.” Caruso uttered, his voice low and calm as he kept the gun pointed at Leo.“Why should I?” Leo barked into my right ear, but I knew better than to flinch.“Let her go.” Caruso reiterated.I heard Leo chuckle before he pressed the knife into my skin, causing me to gasp in a mix of horror and pain.“Give me a reason to.” Leo replied, as he retracted the knife away from within my skin.I felt vermillion trickle down my throat, as he tightened his grip on me from behind.Without uttering another word, Caruso cocked his gun, and before I could comprehend his next line of action, he fired a shot directly at Leo.Instantly, his grip on me loosened, and I heard a thud as his body dropped to the g

Discharged

Edith’s POVI continued to gape at the doctor, my head harboring a myriad of unhinged thoughts, as I mulled over his revelation.I was pregnant with Caruso’s child.After choosing to have him dump his cum inside me the last time we had sex, I had somehow forgotten to take an after pill, and now, I was carrying his baby.Each time I thought my life couldn’t by chance get more turbulent, the universe always managed to catch me off guard.“That’s wonderful news truly.” I managed after a long while.Seemimgly sensing my inner turmoil, the doctor replied.“It surely is. I will let you get some rest now.”“Alright. Thanks, doctor.” I said, inwardly relieved.When the door slammed shut, I steered my gaze from my blanket-clad feet to the door.No matter how tumultuous my situation could be, one thing was certain.Caruso could never know that I was pregnant, even if I still hadn’t decided whether or not to keep it.Had it been we shared a mutual romantic attraction to each other, things would

A new beginning

Edith’s POV “Be careful with your steps, sweetheart,” Dad uttered, as we walked through the thorny bushes, leading to my mum’s grave. “Yes, dad.” I replied, inwardly hoping that the bushes which seemed dangerously close to my skin wouldn’t prick my flesh apart. It had been a week since I came clean to dad, Yvonne, and Murphy about my pregnancy. Fortunately, they had all chosen to adhere to my preference of not telling Caruso about it, albeit dad and Yvonne still had no idea that he was in the mafia. Dad and I were now back in San Francisco, at Mauro’s cemetery, where my mother had been laying for almost three decades. “Just give me your hand,” He said, holding out his hand, which I eagerly grabbed. Soon after, we reached there. Her gravestone was a beautiful pink tinged with beige and gold. In the middle of her tomb was an encrypted picture of her, beaming heartily, her pearly set of gorgeous teeth on display. “Meredith Zelda Tanner (Nee Hampton) June 15, 1974 to March 3, 20
