Secrets Red Aloud: Mafias Undoing

chp18 Ed

Darya

My phone rings, it's my father, I wonder what he wants, I already overstayed on the deal we had agreed to to please my new ‘mother’. I didn't totally hate her but I think she is trying too hard to please me.

Father

Your coming to the wedding
what
?????
The wedding is in two weeks, you are coming.
No
You have to,for you mother

I turn off my phone, I will have to go to the wedding I know, but I really don't want to.but for the sake of my mothers I will. I hate when he brings up my mum that way.

I pulled out my laptop trying not to think about it. The wedding. Or my mother.

Why was she there?

I know she would never get into the crimes that her husband committed. Everything she did was to try to fix him. I call a few of my sources to see if I can get any lead to what or who else was there. I look at the warehouse where they kept the drugs, on the official report it says the place was ransacked before they got there. Left overs of drug power residue.

I open my google doc, where I place all my known secrets, the russian had recently gotten into the drug business maybe that could be connected. My phone pings again, the same guy still is liking my recent instas.

I've got a secret admirer.  Is what we are calling him now.

The air fills with the smell of food, shifts through the air. My stomach rumbles, and my mouth ajar as the taste of the aire dances on my tongue.

“Dinner ” Kaths loud voice rings through the apartment.

Who is home? I thought to myself.

The answer that is answered when I walk into the kitchen and there's only one open seat between Alanna and Asher. While Kath dished out the food.

“Listen Darya, we need to talk about Ed,” Who is Ed. The confusion on my face said enough. I try to think about everyone I know.

“Your fiance.''Asher answers my confused look.

“His name is Tom. Kath.” I say.

“Come on Tom the name is as dull as his personality, I personally could never say hi, this is my husband. Tom!” Kath exclaims.

“What is this an intervention?”I asked them sceptical.

“Yep in your bad taste man, I mean he looks like Edward from twilight.” Asher points out, “I mean who could love that.”

He pressed the power button of my phone, unlocking it and going to the home screen. To be greeted by a picture of him kissing my check.

“Wait, is this why you call him Ed?” I look down at my phone. I don't like that picture. I don't like the way I looked in that one. “I didn't put that picture there, I never would.” I wouldn't dare.

“What are you saying someone changed it.” I nod my head up and down.

“I told her I saw him on her phone.” Asher confirms.

Had he really been on my phone, if he had what he saw. I thought he could be trusted. But there goes my last hope of ever trusting men.

"As well as that do you even know his last name?" Allana comes out of nowhere and asks. I don't answer the question but I twirl the spaghetti onto the fork.

I don't answer because i don't know the answer.
