Possessive Daddy

Cʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ 48

Jennie's POV

The next day I woke up, I went back to Lisa's room. Lisa is still sleeping and her room reek of alcohol. Isn't she supposed to be at work today?

I went down the stairs and took a glass of water with me. Once I got in her room, I took a painkiller from her nightstand. I put them on the nighstand and sat up on Lisa's bed to wake her up. I cringed at the smell of alcohol and fought the urge to throw up.

"Lisa, wake up." I called out. She stirred but she didn't wake up. "Wake up."

I kept on shaking her and she scrunched up her face before opening her eyes. She muttered something that I didn't catch and sat up on the bed.

"What time is it?" She asked, looking around. Her voice was raspy and she cleared her throat.

"8:00 AM," I answered and was about to take the water from the nighstand but she stood up.

"Shit!" She cursed before running to the bathroom clumsily.

"Lisa, you're still hungover. Maybe you can rest today," I told her, but it's no use. She's already in the bathroom and the water is running. "Okay. I put the painkiller and water on the nightstand if you need it."

I sighed and grabbed her underpants from her dresser and put them on the bed before going down.

"Good morning," The twin greeted as soon as I'm sitting. Rosé is already sitting there, looking at nothing.

"Good morning," I reciprocated, sitting beside Rosie.

We were eating breakfast when Lisa went down.

"You came last night? Come on, join us," Mrs. Manoban told her.

"Maybe next time. I'm in hurry," She kissed her mun on the cheek, and then the twin and she came over and did the same to me before rushing out.

"Lisa, sit here!" Mr. Manoban called out, frowning, but Lisa's already gone.

"Marco, you need to talk to your daughter," Mrs. Manoban said seriously. Mr. Manoban looks mad too.

After eating, we played with the kids. And now they're swimming again. And I'm eating. While eating, my phone rings. I checked who it is but it's an unknown.

I picked it up, and went to Lisa's room.

"Hello?"

"Jennie, baby. I'm sorry," the person on the other line said.

"Mum?" I asked.

"Yes baby, it's mum. I'm sorry darling, I made mistakes. I didn't-"

"Mum, where are you?" I cut her off.

"Somewhere near Brooklyn bridge. Baby can you meet me here?" She said.

"Meet you? Why?" Should I? She sounds like she's been crying. "Are you crying?"

"No, baby. I need to explain everything. If you can meet me, I'm just going to send you the address." She hang up after saying that. Then, I recieved the address.

I really want to meet my mum. But Lisa told me not to.

I tried calling Lisa but as usual, it went to voicemail. I tried calling her for 5 minutes more but no luck. So, I just wrote a letter saying I'm going to meet my mum and wrote the address down.

I put it at her dresser's mirror and put her hoodie on before going to their garage. I drove one of her car, because I saw the key in her room and drove to the address my mother sent me.

It's an abandoned house.

I hesistantly walked to it and I'm thinking of turning back but it's too late. Mum is waiting for me. When I'm already at the front door, she ran to me and hugged me.

"I'm sorry," She whispered.

"Mum, I'm-"

"I know darling," She smiled at me. "Let's go inside."

She pulled me inside and opened the light. The house looks abandoned on the outside but it's good inside. The things are new.

"You look tired. Did Lisa do something to you?" She pointed out. I shook my head and closed my eyes for a brief moment. Of course she knows. She knows when something happened to me just by looking at my eyes. She's my mother after all. She just never paid attention the last few years.

"I'm completely fine. Still alive but we're not here to talk about me. Tell me what you want to tell me now."

"Jen, I'm sorry. I made many mistakes and I know you would be mad at me if you knew all of them. But I need you to listen to me. Please," I nodded, already knowing where this is going.

"Jen, I ordered someone to kill people. But I just did that because they're trying to destroy our family. I did that because I want us to have a complete family. That's what you want right? Jennie I– I killed an innocent person without knowing it. But I was so angry Jen. I killed Lisa's fiancée."

"So, you knew that it's Lisa's fiancée and you still want to marry Lisa?" I asked, looking at her dubiously.

"I don't. I just knew it recently. Jen, I love Lisa. I do and I told you that. But she screwed you, my daughter. Why are you living with that bastard?"

"Mum, she's kind. She's just miserable because she lost the person she love. The one she's going to have a family with. Mum, you killed an innocent person," I wailed.

"I didn't know. I wasn't there when they killed the child. I ordered them to torture Ava and send the video to her fiancée. I didn't know it was Lisa, baby. I'm planning to keep the child because I thought it's your sister. But what Lisa did to you isn't fair either."

"The child is not my sister mum. It's Lisa's daughter."

"I thought it was your sister. Because the woman is sleeping with your father Jennie. She's been sleeping with your father."

"So you killed dad too?" I spat with anger. I'm still struggling with my issue with Lisa and I don't know how to process this.

"I didn't mean it, baby." She took a step forward and tried to hold my hand but I stepped back and avoided it.

"Then, why did you do it?" I asked.

"Baby, calm down. You're pregnant," She tried to calm me down but I want to know the truth. From her. I don't need calming down.

"Why did you do it?!" I repeated.

"It's for your own sake!"

"For my own sake? It's my dad! You killed my father!" I yelled. Is she really blaming me on this? Why is everything my fault? Was it also my fault that I was born? Was it my fault that I am breathing?

"He cheated on me! He slept with that woman! I confronted him about it but he keeps on denying it! Jennie, I caught them and I was so mad that he keeps on protecting that woman! I just want us to have a complete and happy family! I got mad that I drugged his drink. I didn't mean it Jennie. I was going to tell him but it was too late. And I didn't want to go to jail!"

"But you did something wrong! You killed my dad! He forgave you when you cheated on him! You can just forgive him!"

Maybe because of all the yelling, my head started spinning. Mum was still saying something but I can't hear it anymore. My head is ringing. I wrapped my arms around my bump, so in case I fall, I can protect them. The las thing I knew is my vision got blurry and my mother's worried face.
