Mafia Princess

chapter 33

It's so early in the morning and I turn lazily in bed, today is the day we decided to finally lay dad to rest and I know it's going to be a tough day considering I will never see him again. The reality hadn't sank in yet and it's now hitting me that after today, all that will be left of him will be memories.

Yesterday when I arrived, the inspector said that dad's body was found at a ditch somewhere in the woods, it leaves a lot of questions but he said that they haven't found any leads on who killed him and the forensics said the results revealed that he was under the influence of benzodiazepines meaning there are high chances he killed himself.

And the case was closed.

I know the culprit but I don't have the evidence against him or his team and I didn't say anything because he's find out that am accusing him of my dad's murder and he'd do anything to silence me. I just need time to find proof.

Barry and Jim don't know anything about what Diego told me. I have not had time to talk to them. I'll do that after the burial.
I lazily drag myself to the bathroom after making my bed. I'm weirdly feeling tired for someone who has slept ten hours.
I strip myself naked and I turn on the shower.

I have been ignoring Ella's phone calls and voice messages. I thought she'd not wanna talk to me after what I did to her at Bred's.

I walk out of the bathroom and I sit at the dressing table. I blow dry my hair and suddenly I have a huge urge to throw up and I rush into the bathroom.

“shit.” I say to myself after cleaning my mouth at the sink.

I finally manage to put on a black sleeveless dress that reaches my ankle and a pair of black red bottom heels. I tie my hair in a bun and I push in a few Bobby pins to have the stubborn strands in place.

I rarely do make up so I put on light mascara followed by a liner and a very light lipgloss to complete the look.

My phone vibrates on the night stand and I reach for it. It's Arnold. I am tempted to ignore but a part of me pushes me to answer. Am not mad at him for lying to me it just reminded me not to trust anyone and right now, I only trust my brothers.

What's up Arnold?
Me.

You can call me Glen, Diego told me every thing.
Glen.

And you were just okay with him telling me everything?.
Me

Of course I wasn't. It compromised our plan but looks like he has a better plan, anyway I was calling to check on you?
Glen.

Ooh, you care! Sorry am having difficulties trusting people right now.
Me.

I say sarcastically.

I know I lied to you. But you can trust me.
Glen.

You gonna have to earn that.
Me.

My door is pushed open and nanny walks in. “the guests are arriving,” she whispers.

Glen, I gotta go.
Me.

Of course.
Glen.

And he hungs up.
“let's go nanny.” I say walking to her. She looks great in her dress. She is family now. “Jim and Barry? ” I ask following her down stairs.

“Barry just arrived from the gym and is in his room, Jim is at the kitchen checking with the chefs. You know how he gets with the foods. He just wants a perfect send off for your dad. ” she answers nodding at a lady who is standing across the room with a man am assuming her husband.
