Yearning For The Badboy Mafia’s Love

CALISTA RAYMONDS

I had ignored my dad after I got home. I had nothing to say to him anyways. He may be a Mafia but he wasn’t my mother….. not my real mother anyways.

This type of stuffs were discussed mostly with mothers. Besides if he found out that I was crying because of Chase, he would just order for him to be executed which would make it more worse. Or prevent him from seeing me ever again.

So my dad was a no go option and May and I weren’t that close enough to talk to her. True, she wasn’t like that evil step mother’s that always hated their step kids but this was a new territory for me. I barely knew her.

I stayed in my room the entire day. I didn’t come out for lunch and my dad and his wife May had no choice but to leave me alone. I had spent the entire morning sobbing my eyes out and now I was just numb.

I brought out my phone, Chase hasn’t called me back. I wondered what he was doing now that he wouldn’t get back to me. I dropped the phone back. There was no need pining over some one who was still in love with his dead girlfriend.

This was all Charlotte’s doing.

If she hasn’t told me about this, Chase and I would still be together but no, she had to do it.

Was this her last chance at finally splitting me and Chase up?. Could this be her real motive?.

I wondered, but I couldn’t think much about it because my phone started buzzing and to my surprise, it was Charlotte herself.

Okay this was weird, Charlotte wasn’t the type of person to call me unless it was urgent so I decided to pick it.

Besides what’s the worse that can happen. She may have new info or something.

“Hello, Calista speaking, how can I help you?” I said waiting for her reply but nothing came.

“Hello? Is anyone there” I said slowly uncertain now as I wanted to disconnect the call. It was probably a butt dial.

“Ca…. Calista…. are you there?” Her weak voice came. She was panting like she was out of breath but it sounded weak and suspicious.

“Yes, it’s me Charlotte. What happened are you okay? Where are you? Who is there, talk to me ? Charlotte, is it bad?” I asked all this questions at once, I was at the edge of panicking too.

“Help….. please….. it hurts.” She croaked again after some time.

“What hurts? Charlotte stay with me, what hurts and where are you? I can’t help you if you don’t tell me. ” I said.

“Blood…. too much blood….. everywhere… come…. Don’t c-come… Chase….” She said again as I was confused.

“Blood? Are you on your period? Charlotte I am getting scared, tell me what is happening. Where are you? I will come over now.” I tried again hoping that she would answer this questions.

“Grayson’s mansion….. gun shot….. blood….. . Chase …. don’t come… trap…. help ….. Grayson . ” She said but the line went dead.

I didn’t understand much but she said she was at Grayson’s mansion and that was where I was going. I hurriedly rushed and got my jacket and bag and wanted to leave when I paused. I went to the wardrobe and brought out two guns. I kept one in my bed and the other in my own in case anything should happen.

I met only May downstairs. She was in the living room watching NatGeo wild.

Immediately she saw me, she stood up and rushed to me.

“Lucia honey, are you hungry? There is some chicken left, I could reheat it for you.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

” Where is my dad?” I asked instead as she blinked and replied,

“He left, he got called to the hospital Someone died so he had to be there.” She said as I nodded my head.

“Oh okay, I am going out though. Don’t worry about me. Bye” I said as I turned to leave.

“Wait where are you going? Let me call Carl and some bodyguards for you? When will you be back?” She asked as I turned back and said,

“May, please if you want me to be opening up to you, you have to trust me too. I just want to shoot at somethings. I will be back before night. Okay.’ I said as she nodded her head.

I got to the car and opened my door and entered. I knew where Grayson lived because I had done some research.

“Okay Charlotte just hold on, I am coming. I promise that I would help you and I will. I may not be able to get Chase but I am not giving up on you.” I said as I switched on the ignition and drove off.

I was at a loss here. I didn’t know if I should call Chase and inform him where I was going. I sighed and picked my phone. It was ringing and finally there was a click.

“Oh hey, hi Chase. It’s me Calista.” I said surprised at the fact that he actually picked my call.

“I know it’s you Calista. What?” He said in such a rude tone that I was torn. This was a bad idea, I was disturbing him.

“Oh nothing, never mind again. Wrong number.” I said and hurriedly cut the call and threw the phone on the seat.

“What was I thinking? Did I actually believe that Chase wanted me after all this. We were over, it was time I sounded it in my head.

Taking a deep breath, I focused on the road eager to get to Grayson’s mansion and see Charlotte. That was the main important thing.

Taking a turn, I increased the speed going over the speed limit a little.

“Hold on Charlotte, I am on my way. Just hang on a little bit more. I will save you. Please don’t die on me. I can’t afford to lose you too. I have to save you.” I murmured.
