Chapter 35
CALISTA RAYMONDS
I woke up with a pounding headache, My head was hurting me like hell so I have to place my hand on my head as I try to stop the pain.
I had also realize I’m laying on my bed, in my room even though I don’t remember who brought me in, but I remember collapsing in Chase’s room.
A maid was standing next to me and I haven’t noticed her earlier.
“You’re awake?” She said when she sees me attempting to sit up. I nodded at her and give out a weak smile.
“How are you feeling now?” She asked again.
I told her I’m just having headache and I still feel weak.
“Where’s Chase?”
“Oh Boss?, He’s out with Tyrell and he said he’ll be home late. Here, take this medicines… The doctor drop them for you before he left” She explained.
I nodded and look at the medicine in the side table. The maid helped me take out two pills and hand it over to me which I drank without hesitation.
My mind drift back to Chase’s words, he had suddenly stopped me from continuing college just when I’m enjoying the outdoor life.
“You shouldn’t think too much. Boss asked you to rest for a while and don’t wait up for him”
“Who cares to wait up for him?” I muttered to myself but I guess the maid heard me.
“What do you say Miss?” She asked.
I turned to her and shake my head negatively trying to dismiss her.
“Okay Ms. If there’s nothing else then I’ll leave now. Your dinner will be brought to you by a different Maid” she smiled at me and I returned the smile before she walk out.
I sigh and stood up from the bed putting on my foot wear, I walk to the bathroom but stopped to look at myself in the mirror.
Firstly looking at my face and that was when I realize I’m looking pale. I washed myself before looking back at the mirror.
I don’t really know nor understand what is wrong with me, this isn’t the first time I’ll be feeling a sharp pain on my chest.
Why did I suddenly blank out?
I’m pretty sure I’m not sick, I’m hale and healthy so why do I have to just blank out without a reason.
Drying my face , I walk back into my bedroom and then I noticed the box from earlier was laying under my bed. I pulled it out and stared at it.
Not sure what could be inside of it but Chase gave it to me so I have to find out what’s the content.
I teared the seal of the carton and look inside it, it was a laptop inside!.
Staring at it for some minutes confused, what am I supposed to do with a laptop?.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Sighing, I dropped it on the table and led back on the bed. My headache had disappear but I’m still feeling weak.
I take out my phone and turned the data one then went to the internet.
My notification started ringing non stop and after two minutes, it stopped. I started checking the notification one after the other as I realize it’s containing one content.
I clicked on it and it was about Rowan. His father is hosting an intitation party for him and that means he’s joining the family business.
Mafia business!
I wonder why a whole family will chose to run a Mafia instead of doing a better decent job. Being involved in Mafia means you’ve to be at alert always, there’s nothing exciting about it.
The Mafia’s are all monsters and heartless and seems like Rowan is excited to join. Well, not my business though.
Probably because the whole family , including the father and his three sons chooses to run a Mafia business that’s why no female gender can stay with him.
Everyone is afraid of their life and I guess that’s why Mr John’s wife left with her daughter. She chosed to live a peaceful life and not Involve her self in the game of hide and seek.
A notification beep on my phone and I opened it. It was a message from an unsaved number.
“Are you awake yet? Ensure to take your medication and go to bed early. I’ll be home late” the message read.
Without being told, I already know the message was from Chase.
Why is he trying to act all nice again after the attitude he put up earlier? He’s really something.
He sure have the habit of hurting others and pretend none of that ever happened… He’s really manipulative!

“Dad!!” Charlotte yelled as she ran after her dad who was looking furious.
“I won’t want you to ever talk about him in this house… That man killed your sister and you’re in love with him? That’s not love! Charlotte you’ve gone crazy” Harrison yelled at his daughter.
Charlotte held his jacket and pouts.
“Father, can you stop saying he killed Madison? We both know he didn’t do anything to Madison”
“What do you know? If Madison had paid attention to your mother’s words and maintain the friends zone she’ll have been alive and healthy now”
“Father, The Gotti’s family is also our family. Why will they ever think to hurt us?” Charlotte argued further.
“If that’s the reason you came back from the states, then I’ll advise you to go back. I won’t let that to happen. You can’t make the same mistake your sister did” With these last words, Harrison shut his door.
Charlotte stood there for a while and sigh.
It’s not like she cares whether they like Chase or not, they’ve lived their life and now happily married so why should it be them choosing the one she should date?
She loves Chase right from when they’re kids and she don’t care how long it takes her bit she’s determined to make Chase her’s.
No one can stop her, Not even her family.
