Gangleaders Daughter

Being Heir

I woke up on the couch and it seemed Aiden already left. I can't believe I'm the Heir to my dad's gang. I already knew about my dad's dirty business but I never thought it will affect my life in such a way. I need to tell mom all of this. I walked up to moms room to find her asleep with a picture of me and a man I don't recognize. What the hell who is that guy.

Mom I yelled, mom wake up.

Huh Cleo , what are you doing in here.

Mom I need answers.

Ohh God I knew this day would come. Mom said with a look of unease.

What day.

Cleopatra, you'll need to sit down for this.

Mom...

Sit Cleopatra .

Mom never used this tone often and when she uses it she means business, so I sat down waiting for what she has to say.

Oh Cleo  I love you more than you'll ever know, your dad loves you too.

Wait mom you mean the coward who left you.

No Cleo  he didnt leave me he left to protect us. Two months after you were born you dad ran into some crisis with the Muertos gang and had to pay off some shit he caused so he left to make sure we were not used as hostages. When he left he sent one of his gang members to protect us.

You mean Chris isn't your husband.

No he is not he is like a bodyguard to protect you from the Angelo.

Who's Angelo.

He's the leader of the Muertos gang and he is after you. I don't know why but he wants you and now he knows you are pregnant he'll do everything in his power to hurt you and the babies.

Mom someone beat up Aiden and left a note saying to watch my back I thought it was dad.

No it can't be he'll never hurt you for anything.

So that means it was Angelo.

Yes.

But Aiden offended dad and he said he'll kill him if he doesn't pay up.

Well I can be able to talk to him.

Really you can do that.

Yes I can he's my husband after all.

Thanks mom.

I love you Cleo.

I Love you too mom.

I left mom's room feeling happy that I now understand more about my life but I also need to be careful with the way I live now for I and my baby's future I just can't risk it. But wait I still need to tell Ari about this. it's all still overwhelming but the sudden surge of power I felt is inmeasurable.

I walked up and decided to take a bath I wanted to take a trip to the mall. I walked into the shower waiting for the water to get heated. I looked at myself in the mirror my bump was still not that noticeable well I would not blame it I'm only 2 months along. It's quite funny that it takes two months for my life to take a massive turn but I can't say I regret it now can I, I will protect my gummy bear even if it kills me these babies means everything to me even though I'm still young I already have a mother's instinct.

I hopped into the shower, letting the water cascade down my skin momentarily washing away my fears, pains, worries in a nut shell all my negative emotions but it didn't last long, they all came rushing back like a dam being burst open. I don't know what to do, my life is now in danger and why because I couldn't keep my legs closed I'm not blaming this on Aiden because it's also my fault I can't do this I just can't. I ran out the shower throwing on an oversized hoodie and basketball shorts with my fuzzie socks I crawled into my bed feeling useless and dirty. I can't do what my friends do anymore I can't eat what I want and it's all my fault. Everyone thinks I'm a whore, a slut,a hoe the list goes on even my mom I see it in her eyes she hates me I'm a disgrace.
