The Mafia’s Woman

“Don’t tell me that May! She owns every same right Marina owns!” Mr. Smith yelled.

“Oh, really? No she doesn’t.. that thing there you called a daughter don’t own the same right as my daughter”

“May! She’s my daughter, our daughter!” Mr. Smith said half yelling.

“Incase you’ve forgotten Smith, let me remind you, Elsa is not my daughter” May yelled.

“Stop May! We agreed not to even remind her of her mother” Mr Smith said.

“Well I’m just reminding you! I was supposed to be your first wife because I gave birth to your child first. But you chose her mum a year after losing connection with me, Why? Because she had that bastard!”

“My daughter is not a bastard May. Watch your language” Mr Smith said.

“Well, I’m greatful she’s died, I still have my place! The hatred I have for her always will be melted on her daughter” May smirked.

“Don’t be cruel May”

“Move out of my way!” Mrs Smith said and brushed out of the room furiously.

Elsa hid behind the door and watched her mum walk past. All this years she has believed May was her mother.

She walked inside her father’s room who was pacing up and down the room.

“Daddy” Elsa whispered.

Her voice was surprisingly so low that she couldn’t hear herself.

“Elsa! Why are you here… What…” Elsa cut him short.

“Is it true? What I heard…. Is not true, right daddy? You told me she’s my mother” Elsa said trying hard to resist the tears.

It’s a lie, her ears are playing tricks on her.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Elsa…” Mr Smith was saying.

“Tell me it’s a fucking lie! Is this the reason I was being treated differently? Is this the reason she hates me! She isn’t my god-damned mother!’ Elsa yelled.

“I can explain Elsa”

“Damn it dad! All this years you’ve been lying to me? Why didn’t you tell me my mom is dead? Wait…. What Happened to my mum?” Elsa said.

“Elsa, let me explain, please” Mr Smith said.

“I don’t need your explanation!! What the fuck happened to my mother!”

“She died… While birthing you” Mr Smith said slowly.

Elsa stood and stared at him… He’s kidding, this is a fucking joke! Maybe a dream…. She need to wake up.

Her heart start beating more than usual, she felt her heart trying to burst. She held her chest painfully.

“My drug….” She whispered.

“Elsa, Look at me Elsa!” She heard her father’s voice.

“Daddy…. My drug!” She whispered again.

Elsa opened her eyes slowly, then shut it again. Her head was seriously itching her.

“She’s awake!” She heard a voice and could that that was her father’s voice.

She remained quiet for some seconds before she was finally able to open her eyes.

Her eyes meet with that of her father and she slowly tried to sit up.

“Stay still Elsa” Mr Smith said.

Elsa stared at him as the memories of what happened replayed in her mind.

*May! She’s my daughter, our daughter!” Mr. Smith said half yelling.*

*Incase you’ve forgotten Smith, let me remind you, Elsa is not my daughter” May yelled.*

Elsa stared at the sitting room and saw Marina and Mrs Smith sitting, staring at her.

“What is wrong with you? Are you pregnant? Why did you suddenly black out!” May yelled immediately sitting up from the sofa she was sitting on.

“I’m talking to you, you little piece of trash! Sit up there and get your ass to the kitchen, am damn hungry.” May cursed.

Elsa turned to look at her father who faced down. Elsa felt cheated on. Now she could clearly understand where the hatred from May came from. It was because she’s not her daughter and because her father married Elsa’s mother first.

“Marina should fix the food herself, she’s a lady after all” Elsa snapped and sat upright.

Her dad, May and Marina stared at her in ultimate shock. She could tell they don’t believe she can talk back to her stepmom, Well… Elsa think it’s high time she crawl out of this tiny little dark world of hers.

“Did… You just talk back at me!? Her stepmom, May yelled and before Elsa could reply , she slapped her.

Elsa placed her hand on her cheeks in tears, Marina sat still… Smirking, probably enjoying the little show.

“May, that’s enough” Her dad said slowly sitting up.

Why is he this weak? Why can’t he sit up and talk with authority?! Elsa wondered.

“Wow! I know you’re going to support her. Weren’t you here when this little thing talked back to me!” May yelled.

Elsa fought back the tears threatening to fall off her eyes. She stared at her dad and she would say… She wished he was not her father.

She brushed past her stepmom and ran out the house, Then finally the tears fell off her eyes.

She felt that her world had crumbled.. She’ve never lived a happy life, Whileas everyone is enjoying, She’s always in pain.

Why didn’t her father tell her May isn’t her real mother? Why did he ignore the fact that she wasn’t treating her right? Who is my mother?” She asked no one in particular.

Elsa have a lot of questions but unfortunately, there’s no one there to give answers to her questions.

She was walking down the street now and She’s still in tears, Elsa find a tree nearby and sat down and faceplamed herself and cried more.

She need to cry… Cry and take all her sorrows away. She don’t want to return to that house again, she don’t want to have anything doing with them. She wish to be away .. far away from all of them.

Elsa brought out her phone from her pants. She wanted to call Olivia and ask if she could come stay at her place till she decides what next to do.

Olivia’s phone wasn’t connecting, and it was starting to rain.

Elsa stood in the rain. Not wanting to return to the house again. She doesn’t know where to go. The thought of going to Alice’s house came to her mind.

She can stay there for the night. She sat up and made to walk, she was already drained by the rain.

“Barbie Doll….” She heard behind her and she turned immediately.

And there… Stood the man , she doesn’t even know
