The Mafia Family

Chapter 7

The city Gonlisha may have buildings and districts, the only place to really get some peace and quiet and really wanted to be alone for themselves is getting out of Gonlisha, and head straight into a wave of forests and nature, a long road where you can do really fast and lost track of time. But the most breathtaking and really lose yourself is heading straight to the mountains where you can be truly alone.

Upon arriving, Elijah and Juliette got out of the car, Juliette was taken back by the view, alot of trees and hearing nothing but birds and bugs.
She noticed Elijah taking out a torp from the trunk and covered the car, taking some what it appears a basket, with food it seems. She stared at him with an answer, he responded, "This has nothing but snacks and drinks, I have it ready whenever I want to get away from the city. Let's go."

"Where are we going?"

"To the top, it's beautiful, you love it."

It was a long way to the top but it was worth it as they saw nothing but so many stars, shining so beautiful that it was so breathtaking. Juliette gasps as she watched the stars, being in the city with so many lights, you hardly see anything like this, so many stars and how beautiful it was.
She noticed a really bright star and immediately thought of her mother. "Mom."

"My mother is up there as well, she always told me to look up at the sky and think of something big. She told me to look up whenever I need her."

"How did your mother died? Sorry I know I shouldn't ask."

"No it's fine. She's been very sick and always gets better but after two years, again being sick for about a month."

"I'm so sorry."

"The thing she told me is that she's not really leaving, she's going to be here, with us. Your mother is not gone, she's here."

"My father used to say how she always had a smile on her face, and whenever she laughs, it always brought a smile to his face. My father would try his best to tell me everything about her but it wasn't really enough. She isn't her with me as I wanted."

"Your aunt is her sister, didn't she tell you about her?"

"Not much. She never say much about her whenever I ask. Even though I have a photo of her, I sometimes imagine her being with me. Sometimes wish she lived instead of dying after giving birth to me."

"We both have something in common. We both don't have mothers, we both have a unbearable aunt and uncle."

"What? Your uncle tries to run your life as well?"

"Way too much. My uncle is fine but I can't spend any minute to myself without having him telling me what to do. Like join my father with his meetings, on me with my studies and making me do things I don't want to do."

"I just needed to get out of the house. She dares to take my gun away from, no way! Its not ladylike to carry a gun. Yeah well..." Juliette started shooting in a perfect stance, letting out her frustrations out while Elijah watched, more impressed by Juliette. He can't believe she's his wife.

"How's that, Margaret!"

"The more I know you, the more I am amazed. You are incredible, Juliette." Juliette turned away from Elijah's stare, sighed, knowing she doesn't feel the same way but he was still determined to have that connection with her. "Look I know you don't feel anything but during this time, I really do want to let you know how much I feel about you. How much you mean to me."

"We don't know anything about each other. This marriage was their idea and I am giving it a chance but remember, I don't feel anything for you. We can stay whatever we want to each other with no one around."
