His Mafia Princess - J.H

Chapter 76

Mirriella pov

"I'm not fucking going." I tried not to sniffle as I spoke to him.

We were supposed to be going to a stupid dinner thing with Melanie and Chelsea where they were actually supposed to be telling us what they want. But the means in Chicago it'll be around the time that Celia finishes school. Just another day of disappointment when she doesn't see me stood there.

"And why not?" He asked, still getting ready.

"Because I'm tired and I just really don't want to go." I answered.

That's a lie. I'm on the verge of crying because my dumbass didn't bring my meds and now I've got to put up with my episode. But I can't tell you that.

"You can't just decide when you are and aren't going to work because you're tired. You still have to work and put in your part for this company." He argued as he turned to me and tied his tie.

"Fuck you. I didn't even want to be here. I'm supposed to be with Celia right now. For the fourth week in a row I've missed the meet that I promised her on her birthday because of this bullshit. So you can take your company and shove it up your ass if you think I'm actually going to help." I shouted at him as my eyes glossed over.

"Fine. You can have today off. But you need to grow the fuck up and stop being pathetic." He spat as he walked towards the door.

Lucky for him, he managed to get out of the room fast enough to avoid the glass I threw at him. Every week my patience runs even thinner with him. He knows how much it pissed me off that I'm being forced to break my promise to Celia, and yet he's still a dick about it week in and week out.

Just as I had suspected, about an hour after Jaden had stormed out, my phone rang. This time, it was a FaceTime call, normally she just does a regular phone call.

"Hey Cee Cee." I tried to smile as I moved the covers away from me. She doesn't actually know I'm in London, she just knows that I can't make it.

"Is that why you can't make it? Because you would rather be in your big luxurious bed on the west side than see me?" She asked as she looked so disappointed through the phone.

"No. Look, on the day of your birthday, when Jaden and I went home, we had to go away. There was a problem with the facility in London, and I had to come with them. I am so sorry Celia. I know I should've just told you weeks ago, but I didn't." I explained to her, not wanting to make her cry.

"So your work is more important than seeing me? Because ever since you left ages ago, all it's been is work, work, work. Even when you were over here, you'd stop all of your work and even go without food just to come and see me." She pointed out.

"You are so much more important to me than my work. I'd drop it all in a heartbeat if it meant I could see you. But when we got back, I didn't have time to explain why I couldn't go. I also didn't expect to be gone for this long. I thought we were going to be gone for the weekend. But the situation here is so much bigger than we thought it was, and it's taken longer to sort. It shouldn't be long now. There's only a little bit left, and as soon as that plane lands down in Chicago, I'll be on the first bus to you-"

"I don't want you to come here anymore." She cut me off. "I don't want you to make promises you can't keep. So please, stay away from me." Her voice broke as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"No Celia-" she didn't even give me a chance to talk before she hung up.

I just officially lost the last family member I had.

I sat there, stunned at what had just happened. I couldn't believe I'd let her down so many times that she's asked to not see me. My heart completely broke as I tried to call her back and the call failed.

"What do you want?" He asked as he picked up the phone.

"Daniel, please. Just let me talk to Celia." I begged as I heard him scoff.

"She has asked me specifically to not let you talk to her. Congratulations Mirriella, you've become such a let down that not even your own niece wants to talk to you. Go and fuck your little boy toy, and don't even think of trying to call me again." He laughed as he hung up the phone.

"Fuck." I screamed as I threw another glass, tears rushing down my face uncontrollably.

I had finally done it. I lost everyone I ever needed. I got so angry with myself that I threw my phone towards the door, not realising it was opening.

"What the fuck?" Jaden exclaimed as he ducked out the way. "Mirri, what one earth was that about? Why is there glass everywhere?" He asked looking around the room.

I didn't answer him but instead walked past him. He tried to grab my wrist, but I pulled it out of his grip and pushed him away from me.

"Don't fucking touch me." I shouted at him before I walked away from the room.

"Mirri, where are you going?" He asked a she tried to follow me.

"Just leave me the fuck alone. Don't you dare follow me." I answered as I turned the corner and he was obscured from my field of view.

I did feel a little bad for going off on him, because it wasn't his fault. Everything that happened was my fault. I just needed to clear my head for a little bit, so I decided I was just going to go to the roof of the hotel.
