Chapter 96
Chase opened his eyes and shut it back cause everywhere was too white and almost blinded him. He opened his eyes again and slowly push his head to look at his right,
He saw Rowan standing there, leaning on the wall with his hand folded. Turning to his left, he saw Tyrell also sitting down.
He tried to remember what had happened and how he had ended up in this bed. It took him another minute to realize he’s in a hospital.
And his mind drifted to Calista. They were driving her new car when suddenly….
Chase stopped and immediately flipped up, taking everyone in the room by surprise as they haven’t even noticed him open his eyes.
“Chase!” He heard his mother’s voice.
He haven’t even noticed her too. And this time, Chase realized the room is even full. Rowan , Tyrell, Olivia and his mother.
“What are you doing here?” Chase asked his mother who rushed to give her a hug.
Chase squeeze his face as he felt a pain in his lower stomach but he didn’t want his mother to notice. Chase couldn’t even recall the last time he had been admitted in a hospital.
“Chase, I was so worried about you. What were you even thinking?”
“Don’t nag at me maa. It was just an accident, people do get into accident right?”
“Are you fucking serious kid?! You endangered Calista’s life and it’s not an accident, Chase, you got into an open fire while you’ve Calista in that car!” She yelled even loudly.
“Mother is right Chase. Calista knew little or nothing about this Mafia thing, hand it been I haven’t thought her a little way to use guns, what could’ve happen? Her father will definitely skin you alive.”
“Shut up!” Chase cautioned him and turning to Tyrell, his right hand solider.
“Where’s Calista?”
Tyrell swallowed before answering.
“She’s in the next room, with Emma and ….. And Luciano, her father. But I tell you, she’s still unconscious.”
Chase’s eyes widened and he looked so much pissed that if not because of this thing attached in his body, he’d give Tyrell a punch already.
“How could you let Luciano be in her room? Even meet her in the first place?! Tell me, who informed him that we’re here.”
“Chase seriously?! Luciano is her real father and he’s not someone to mess with, how do you expect Tyrell to be able to stop him from meeting his daughter after all these years? Moreover, he have his source.” Rowan cautioned.
“Yes Boss, Rowan is right. Calista is now someone all Mafia’s society are talking about, there’s no way Luciano won’t be able to hear about it.”
Chase didn’t say another word and neither did anyone else did.
Everything had happened so fast , so fast that’d be like something in a hurry to happen. So fast that it feels like a dream or a rush.
Chase twisted his neck and slowly get off the bed, removing all these wires in his body. Even when his mother tried to stop him from doing so, Chase is a nut head.
“Chase! I tell you… You and your brothers seriously have to quit this Mafia business. Especially you! You could’ve lost Calista the same way you lost Madison. Chase, if you can protect the ones you love from you dirty lifestyle, why bother keeping them around?”
Chase looks at his mother. If she’s just a man and someone common, he swear to have already murdered her right here.
“Don’t fuckin tell me what to do mother. Why you talking like your husband isn’t a Mafia boss while you two are seeing each other?”
“He was! But at least he knows how to protect the ones he love which is something you haven’t been able to do for once!”
“Motherr!!!” Chase yelled and everyone in the room could tell he have heard enough.
“Mother, come. I need to get you out of here” Olivia approached her mother and take her hands.
“If anything happens to Calista, I’d never forgive you. Don’t keep them around if you can do sacrifices for them. Love is all about fight too.”
With this, she walked out of the room with Olivia, leaving the three men inside the hospital room.
Chase sighed and sat down then turn to look at Tyrell. “I need a smoke” he muttered.
Tyrell reach out to his pocket and handed over a stick of cigarette to him and a lighter. Chase collected it and lighted it then take a deep smoke.
“I could’ve believe you when you said Grayson was the enemy.” Chase slowly said.
Rowan and Tyrell looked at eachother and then back to Chase who was facing down with the stick of cigarette in his hand.
“Grayson attacked you?” Rowan asked him but Chase Shaked his head negativity.
“I recognized one of the men always around Gray. He’s not working alone, he have his men or his father’s men around my warehouse. He have been there for too long.”
There was silence until Rowan said. “I already told father. Seems we have a lot to do now, Another war is coming.”
And then, there’s silence again.
“I need to see Calista. But not with Luciano there.”
“What ain’t you tell us Chase? You did any fuck thing with Luciano that could’ve possibly gone wrong?” Rowan asks and Chase only glare at him.
“Stop spitting out nonsense.” He simply said.
“You can’t see her even if you want to. Luciano won’t let anyone come into her ward, expect Emma who was there before he walked in.”
“That fuck head. I swear I’ll kill him with my bare hands if you do anything crazy to Calista.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“First, Calista is his daughter… He can’t harm her, and second, you’d better stop thinking about hurting him. He’s your girlfriend’s father, what will she say if she finds out her man is trying to kill her Father?”
Chase breathed down and muttered. “We’ve just been together for a day. Who says she’s my girlfriend yet?”
“Don’t tell me you’re playing with her?” Rowan’s eyes widened.
“Who says I can love so fast? Everything happened so fast? Is it even real!?” There was silence after Chase’s statement and they both stared still at him.
But he mind less.
