《Mafia Family》19. The Pandent
Advertisement
I'm very awake, but my eyes are closed. I'm just processing everything that has happened in my life.
Not long ago, I was trapped in hell with regular abusing and beatings but now I can't help but be happy. I don't want to trust me new family this easily and give in but they didn't give any reason for me to hate them or distrust them, well except Noah and Dustin.
Noah is now okay with me since he was one of the doctors who treated my wounds. Dad and Ethan are best. They are really caring and I can feel they are welcoming me. Twins no doubt have been the kindest and helped me adjust. However Ryan and Dustin, I'm still unsure. Dustin didn't talked to me after all my rant about past. He was very angry. About Ryan I'm still unsure on what actually he feel about me. He's very intimidating. But who am I kidding, this whole family is very intimidating.
But they kind of look dangerous like very dangerous. I wonder what our family business is since they are loaded.
Oh My, Did I just accept them as my family? I called OUR family.
Now how can I forget my best friend, Ivan. He was like a brother to me. I hope he's not taking tension on where I just disappeared. I never even got to say goodbye to him.
I miss aunt and mom.
I reached my neck to hold the pandent bit felt nothing. Suddenly I started hyperventilating and my heart rate monitor started beeping loudly.
I opened my eyes and I guess hearing the sudden beeping the people who were present in my room already whom I didn't notice earlier came rushing to me.
The people who were present in my room were Noah, Ethan and Dad.

I looked at them and sat up in bed. I was still hyperventilating. I just looked at Noah.
"M..my p..pand..pandent? " I stuttered to Noah.
"Calm down Liz, wait I'll bring it." Noah said and rushed to my left side in a drawer which was placed in right corner of the room.
"Here, I had to remove it since we were treating you." He handed me the pandent and I held it and wrapped it in my hands and placed it near my heart. I was so relieved.
"Is there something special about this pandent Liz? " Ethan asked curiously after seeing my desperation.
I looked at him and happily explained the importance of this pandent.
"This is the only thing that helped me live. I many times thought to end my life- "
I suddenly saw the sad and angry expression on their faces so I immediately changed
"And aunt told me this was given my mom to me"
Dad was surprised.
"Can I see the pandent sweety? " Dad asked.
"Sure Dad" I smiled and handed him the pandent.
When he saw the pandent, his eyes widened and tears filled in his eyes.
We all were looking at him curiously.
He looked at me and said," You what this is sweety, this is the engagement ring of your mother and my love."
I can tell by his eyes how much he loved mom. He handed me the pandent.
"Keep this safe with you" He smiled and I, well I was speechless.
I took the pandent from him and wore it.
"How are you feeling sorella? " Noah asked.
"I'm feeling better. Thank you so much" He smiled and I wondered what sorella meant and I didn't ask maybe sometimes later.
"I think than we should head home." Noah said.

They helped me and we sat in the car after getting discharged and again Ethan didn't let me walk.
While Noah was driving, I can't help but asked dad.
"Umm...Dad? "
"Yes Liz" He answered and turned a little since he was sitting in passenger seat.
"Umm...where are others? Are they like...umm.. You know-" I was cut off my dad.
"Don't worry sweety, no one is angry. Twins were adamant on staying but I sent them home since they had homework and Ryan is at work"
He smiled and said.
"Dustin? " I asked in a very small voice.
"Ohh he had some important work so he also went. Don't worry Liz, no one is going to harm you now. You are our family and we all love you although I'm very sorry about your past. I can understand now that why you were not able to trust us. But don't worry I'm not forcing you to trust us but just keep in mind that we had loved you, are loving and will love forever. " Dad said.
I can't help but had tears in my eyes. They are so good to me. I smiled and nodded.
"Dad what exactly happened to mom? How did I get separated from you all?"
I asked.
I saw everyone suddenly tensed.
"That's a story for another time and I'll tell you myself when time will come. You don't have to worry about anything" Dad said but I can hint he was little nervous, so I just nodded.
After few minutes we reached home and it was so hard to convince Ethan that I can walk.
Later we all had dinner and now I'm in my room going to sleep.
v
I can't help but be angry at myself. It is my fault that she was abused. I should have found her. I failed as a husband and now father also.
I can't tell her how she got separated from us. She already had so much on her plate. She won't be able to digest the fact that we all are in mafia.
But now that she's in our life again, I know her brothers won't let anything happen to her. I'm going to be a good father. She'll now receive all the love of a happy family, love from brothers and love of a father.
v
I have been such a asshole. I'm so angry at myself. I can't muster strength to apologize to her. Dustin however is very quite. I have to talk to him since we were the only ones who didn't treat her well.
But now I'm not going to let any harm come to her. I know Ryan, Ethan and twins also feel the same. We'll now show her what the love of real brother is.
