The Mafia Family

Chapter 21

Days have passed and Juliette became temporary boss until Joseph gets better. Which took longer then expected since he gets arguing with the doctors and had kept him there as long as he stays calm for his blood pressure. Which was fine since Juliette had been doing good, the only time she was temporary boss was when she was 16 years old when Joseph was sick for a few days. Helped her quite well for when she has to be boss for real.
Juliette couldn't think straight after that night. The night where they almost slept together. Juliette shaked the thought out of her mind, even though she's married, she doesn't want to do it until she's ready. Until the time is right with Elijah, maybe.
"He told her he doesn't feel anything towards her, didn't stop them from kissing and almost... Do it. Elijah, why am I feeling this way? It doesn't matter. I should..." The knock on the door slapped her out of her thoughts when she invite someone in. It was Roy and Dante.

"How's my father doing? Is he at least taking it easy?"

"He finally gave in taking it easy. But he won't be out for another week."

"As expected. You've been standing guard outside of my father's room for a while, go ahead and switch with Lorenzo, Matteo and Samuel."

"Got it."

"On it."

Elijah nodded and entered the room, Juliette continued organizating the office. "I won't be home for a few days, my father wants me to go with him to deal with some business."

"We have a shipment arriving soon, you may be able to check it out when you arrive."

"I'll be back in a week."

"See you then." Juliette let out a sigh and held her necklace close, it always helps her whenever she's stressed out or feeling down. "Mom. Jason." Juliette decided to leave and get her mind off of things for a while, Margaret stopped her as she was close to the door.

"Where are you going young lady?"

"Out. To clear my head, I called Victor to stand in as I go out. I called Ivan to bring my car around."

"Young lady, I think you should be worried about other things then business."

"Margaret not right now. I won't be out too late."

"Juliette!"

"Thanks Ivan, go ahead and stop my aunt from getting to me."

"Yes Boss."

Juliette drove around, trying to forget about Elijah and that night. She couldn't help but wonder, will she ever have feelings towards him? She shaked her head and tried to forget it but it was hard. She drove to a park where she always went with her father. The park where everything seemed right.

She stayed for an hour when someone took a seat next to her. She couldn't believe it was Cassandra, sitting down next to her. But Juliette doesn't want to hear about her time with Elijah.

"He didn't do it. He didn't had sex with me that day. Even though I was nude and begging him to think about us, he couldn't betrayed you like that. I waited for him for 8 years to get back together, I thought we were going to be together. But he talked about you the whole time and thought about you before it went that far. I... I understood in that moment how much he loves you, understood how I would regret breaking something like a marriage. I love him but I think I love him back then because I was 16 and stupid. I'm sorry. For telling you in your face how I'm going to take him away and all those things. And I'm sorry for what I said to your friend. He told you that night, didn't he? He immediately left and went to you. You may not have feelings for him but he does. The way he choose you over me. Tells how much he would do for you."
