HIS CURE, HIS DRUG!!

Ana Pov~

I was out of the wedding gown, back to my previous cloths.

I looked at ma waiting for her explanation who was sitting Infront of me, we were in a room upstairs just us both.

"Umm baby you see-" she hesitatedly start speaking. Her voice was skipping beats for the first time. She released a big breath and looked at me with the smile on her face which I am very familiar with.

"I didn't know there will come a day when i will actually have any encounter with the mafias again" her face held an unknown emotion, as if rewinding the past. And what does she mean by again!!!

"Baby you used to complain about all the driving classes I sended you, even hinting you to ahem" her eyes flickers as she continues. "Learn martial arts.

Alright now this is getting crazy! What the hell she mean by HINTING!!!I wanted to flush out all the question from my chest but hold on listening  to her explaining as she continues  speaking.

"Me and my late husband we both were in our best era back then, we used to go on missions together, and complete all the missions, they were such a fun day" her smile held the passionate expression as if fire igniting again after dying with ashes like Phoenix.

"But he passed away due to cancer" her voice starts breaking.

"It was devastating, I thought there is nothing which could change, I was about to go on my final mission more like on my death door" her saddened smile glinting her sorrows.

"But that day I found you in my doorstep" she stands up and started walking toward me. My heart was shaking from all the thrilled past memories she was telling.

"You became the reason for me to continue my life" her eyes tearing up as she cups my face.

The lump which was build up earlier slowly losing up, releasing any tension it held, for some reason the little bit of grief I had with my birth parent for abandoning me were all gone, instead now I am thankful to them.

A weeping sniff reaped from my throat as I hugged her waist, she hugged me in her arms, tightly wrapping her hands around me. Silently relieving her own tears.

I never expected something like that to happen.

We held each other for a long moment until she finally cares my back pulling away as she looks at me with a smile.

"that's why I was excited when I heard you were in safe hand" her voice chiming with excitement.

"You know during my youth I once wanted to meet the famous Italian Mathew family" she chuckles as her usual teasing self-coming out.

My checks flushed red. Now thinking about it, Theo knew about all of this but he didn't say anything. I felt a little betrayed but I can understand why he didn't cause if he had said that my mom was in mafia I would have laughed at him. Might have punched him in the guts for tarnishing her reputation.

I sighed.

"When Theo grandma came, I was surprised cause I had only seen her from a far once, I thought she might be mistaken but when she told me about you and Theo and the American mafias" she sighed as she continues.

I squint my eyes exactly  how can I forget the grandma.

"She proposed I should come here and I agreed not because of the life threat but I was excited to meet you!" she looks happy.

"And what about the bakery?" the question almost popping out. She laughed as she shakes her head.

"Well, I did that for time pass plus it was relaxing" she wiggled her eyes and continues. "Not to mention I can bake anywhere!" she winked, I shook my head as i smiled looking at her cheerful, full of energetic face.

"Am so glad you fall for him!!" she looked thrill. I squint my eyes does she think I like him. I bite my lips thinking about love, there is something but is it love?!

Now when I know that he didn't actually put her in risk. I felt like a heavy rock lifted away from my chest.

What are the chances that now when I look at him, I might jump on him.

The thought of his touch made my stomach twist and twirl in excitement.

I was lost in my wild imagination when we heard a knock in the door.

Knock knock

Ma turned back to see the person, her body covering up the image of the person but I could feel his presence in room.

"Mother-in-law"

"Oh, come-on just call me Lana" ma laughed.

"I would but I want to make sure your daughter is my wife"

"Good lord look at you, haven't even gotten married yet but already claiming her "her voice was briming with tease.

My blood rushing throughout my face 

It's going to be harder to face him.
