Tamed

54.

xiomara's p.o.v:

"xiomara, don't get mad at me please. i kept this secret from you because your aunt will kill you. i don't want that to happen. criselda's the real mom of your brother and your brother is held hostage by your aunt. we need to attack very soon, they're already attacking. your mother is such a beautiful woman being. your aunt killed your mother because she's afraid that your mother will take over the mafia leader title. your aunt wanted to be the mafia leader but i refused because she wasn't ready. that didn't end well and she put me under control because of you, i want to keep you safe," my dad confessed. i nodded to hear more.

"your mother gave birth before she was killed. i kept you undercover that's why barely anyone knows who's the new asian mafia leader. if they find out, you'll be dead. your aunt found you by criselda, criselda was lowkey working for marissa so now she's after you. ana-lyn camua is your mother's name. xiomara camua, you're the last camua standing so your aunt is after you."

"what do you mean by the last camua?" i asked in curiosity. my father smiled and sighed.

"mar, the camua family is the one who invented the mafias. your aunt wants to take that away and be the most powerful woman alive but you have that power," my father answered. i shouted in frustration.

"why does it have to be me? i never heard my mother's voice or even saw her. nothing, nothing from my mother. not being able to hear her voice nor being able to smile because of her. i never felt that. why would you hide it?" i said with tears forming.

"i'm sorry dear. i did for your safety. finish this war for your mother," my father said hugging me tightly. i let loose away from his hug and ran upstairs. mika and her father left before my father and i started talking. now, i'm already crying. i locked myself in my room.

"hey what's wrong?" zach said comfortingly. how did he get in here?

"i was trying to fix your bed, you know, to be a g," zach siad winking. i wiped my tears. "now tell me what's wrong?" he continued.

i told him everything that happened, not giving a shit if i'm supposed to be mad at him. i cried my eyes out.

"i wasn't able to hear my mom, not hear her laugh. not see her smile, not see her treat me well. when i was sick, nobody was there, she's supposed to be there. why does everything happen to me?" i yelled in frustration.

"sh, baby it's fine. i'll be here for you. i have nothing else to offer you but please don't cry," zach said starting to tear up. i suddenly laughed.

"are you crying?" i asked.

"yes, i can't just let my baby feel left out," zach said wiping his tears and smiled. i kissed him and smiled.

"you're gay," i whispered and laughed.
