The Mafia’s Possession

”Babe, why?” He creased his brow and Melanie gasped.

Why what?

Why was she pregnant or what?

Didn’t they both want the baby!?

What the hell was wrong with her husband!?

”Why?” Melanie creased her brow.

”You don’t want this baby?” She asked in a whisper and Fynn shook his head, trying to find the perfect word to say to her.

”You said you loved me! Was that a lie? You don’t want the baby!?” Melanie screamed.

”Come on, that’s not it babe,” Flynn pulled her closer.

”Then how is it?”

”I’m happy. Very happy. You’re the first woman to tell me something like this. Babe, I’m going to be a father! I’m so glad,” Flynn smiled.

”Really?” Melanie creased her brow.

Flynn cupped her cheek in his palm and smiled heartily, ”I love you.”

Even though he was sick, he should not take it out on his wife by rejecting the baby.

At least, there was going to be a junior Flynn Harlan.

He closed his eyes as he wrapped his arm around his wife. He sniffed her hair and was quite relaxed with the scent of the shampoo she used.

”I was scared,” Melania sulked then she pulled away.

”I thought you didn’t want the baby,” she added.

”Come on,” Flynn pulled her closer and raised her chin gently to look at him. ”I was quite shocked,” he continued. ”I’ve never received news like that and it gave me this kind of feeling you won’t understand. I am going to be a father, babe. I’m so glad,” he kissed her forehead.

”I’m happy you are glad,” Melanie smiled and rubbed her stomach, feeling the joy of motherhood already.

Flynn bent down and carried her in his arm which made Melanie shriek in surprise.

”What are you doing!?”

”Huh?” Flynn smiled and kissed her.

”Gosh, you’re going to turn the baby’s head upside down! Flynn!” Melanie screamed and Flynn laughed.

”What? Who told you that?” He asked amidst laughter.

”Is it not obvious? The baby could change its position,” Melanie sulked.

”That is not going to happen to him,” he smiled and dropped her gently on the bed.

”Wait, who told you it is going to be a boy?” Melanie rolled her eyes and tried to sit up while Flynn rushed to help her sit.

”I can feel it already. What should we name him? Is Finn fine?” Flynn smiled.

”Finn? Oh, please. You should have said scale. I want this baby to be a female. I can feel it already. She will be named Theresa,” Melanie grinned, rubbing her belly.

”What is that? I don’t like that name? Theresa? It sounds like a cat’s name,” Flynn rolled his eyes.

”What!? That name sounds like a cat’s name? Come on, just because you don’t like it does not mean that the name sounds like a cat’s name. It’s very cool, I’ll just be like, ‘Tessy, food is ready!’ And she will be like, ‘okay, mama!” Gosh, I can’t wait,” Melanie giggled.

”No, let’s say that, ‘Finn, Papa is home,’ and he’s going to be like, ”Did you bring something for me, papa?’ How does that sound?” He winked at his wife who twitched her mouth in disgust.

”What is your problem with that name? Finn? Gosh, it’s so lame,” Melanie rolled her eyes and Flynn only stared at her, smiling.

”Baby, don’t worry, if you turn out to be a boy, I’ll give you the name Robin or Scott or Dwyer or Dylan or Seth or Vance or even everything but you see that Finn papa said, it is out of it. Don’t you also think papa is outdated?… I know, right? Imagine. Finn? oh, please,” Melanie whispered rubbing her stomach which Flynn found very amusing.

”Okay, I’ll go with whatever name you want, trust me.”

”Of course, you should!” Melanie snapped and Flynn laughed loudly.

”I’m sure Kyle and Elle will be so glad. Don’t you think?”

”Of course, get ready for so much pampering from those pests,” Flynn said and Melanie laughed.

”I know. Mum will be so glad too.”

”Of course, she’s going to meet her grandchild in a few months. I wish my mother was alive. She would have been so glad,” Flynn smiled and Melanie took his hand in his.

”It’s okay, babe. Come to think of it. You’ve never talked to me about your mum and dad,” Melanie whispered, picking on his finger.

”Trust me, you don’t wanna know,” Flynn shrugged his shoulder off.

”Of course, I want to know,” Melanie pouted.

”Huh, babe. Okay, mum died of Huntington’s disease when the twins were still very young. Dad died eleven years ago,” Flynn explained.

”Awwn. I’m sorry. So how did dad die?” Melanie asked.

Flynn stared at her and shook his head. This woman said ‘aww’ just now like she was going to cry and the next second, she asked how his dad had died.

”Dad was a Mafia, the most dreaded Mafia in Los Angeles. Hot blood was the name he and his members was called. I was in Italy when he died. He was killed by a rival. I arrived before he died and that man told me to keep running HOT BLOOD,” Flynn stared at Melanie who was listening with rapt attention.

”You did?”

”No, I discarded them all but I kept few men that were quite capable and trustworthy. One thing they didn’t know was that while I was in Italy, I was a mafia. The men I keep with me are the only ones that know that I was a mafia.”

”Wow. Wait, you were taking in the past. How about now?”

”I am just the arrogant tycoon Los Angeles has. I stopped being a Mafia a day before our wedding,” Flynn said casually.

”Seriously!? You didn’t tell me,” Melanie eyed him.

“You didn’t ask.”

”Do I need to?” Melanie pouted.

”No, I’m sorry.”

”Where did you meet Hazel and Camila?” Melanie asked which surprised Flynn.

Why did she remember those women all of a sudden?

First, they were discussing about their baby, then about his family then in another blink of an eye, she choosed to discuss about those women.

Ah… This woman was a case.

”I met Hazel in Italy twelve years ago,” Flynn answered.

”Okay…” Melanie said implying that he should continue taking.

”Okay what?” Flynn creased his brow.

”Tell me more. You’re not planning on stopping there, right?”

”Okay, she’s an Italian. She visited me in Los Angeles a few years after we departed in Italy and we dated for four years before she left,” Flynn said and Melanie noticed the expression he had on his face when he talked about that woman.

”You dated for four years? Is that not much? You didn’t plan on getting married?” Melanie queried.

”No,” he answered curtly.

”No what?”

“I met Camila on the night Hazel left in a bar,” he said and stood from the bed.

”You’re not telling me some things,” Melanie glanced at him.

”I’m not hiding anything from you,” he answered and walked towards his closet. He removed the towel that hung loosely around his waist and wore a short then turned to face Melanie who was glaring at him.

He sighed as he walked towards his phone that started to ring.

”Yes?… Really?… Alright… Take care of her… I’ll call you later… Yeah, she’s good… Sure,” and he ended the call.

”Elle is in the operating room. She’s about to undergo surgery,” Flynn looked at Melanie and she nodded her head.

”Okay but you are hiding something about that Hazel from me. I know,” Melanie stood from the bed and walked towards Flynn.

”Wait, are we still talking about her?” Flynn creased his brow and grabbed her waist.

”That room you forbade me not to enter belongs to her, right?” Melanie asked and Flynn leaned forward to kiss her.

“You ask too many questions, wifey,” he chuckled as Melanie grumbled.

”Answer me,” she pouted.

”Yes but you can go there if you want to. I’m sorry for stopping you from entering,” he smiled and kissed her again.

”You can’t bribe me with kisses. I’m still mad at you,” Melanie eyed him.

”You are not mad at me,” he smiled and kiss her neck.

”Whatever, help me with my zip, I’m getting uncomfortable in this dress,” she groaned and turned her back at him.

”You are taking forever in unzipping my dress. Flirt. Don’t you dare leave a hickey on my neck. Gosh, Flynn,” Melanie screamed as Flynn starts to suck her neck which was tickling her.

Her body was reacting to Flynn’s touch more than before. Was it because she was pregnant?

Wait, if Flynn made love with her, won’t it change the position of the baby?

Oh, whatever. Right now, she needed this man.

Flynn awoke the next morning with the headache eating him up again. He tried to move away from Melanie who was still sleeping. She looked very beautiful, innocent, and vulnerable as she was sleeping and he would never wish any man would see this side of her.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

He touch her face lightly and traced her lips softly with his fingertips.

The both of them were naked under the bedspread which he loved waking up to every morning.

After caressing her face to his heart desire, he felt the urge to kiss her lips. He kissed her softly and got away from the bed gently so that he wouldn’t have to wake her. He supported her arm with a pillow and walked to the bathroom to wash his face and mouth.

He walked to the drawer as soon as he walked out of the bathroom and opened it, he grabbed the nylon the doctor had given him and checked the drugs, and took out the plastic of drugs that had the word ‘headache relieve’ written with a pen.

He poured water inside the glass cup, glanced at Melanie that was still sleeping and opened the plastic that had drugs in it, and removed one tablet from it. He drank water from the glass cup and threw the tablet inside his mouth and swallowed it.

He glanced at Melanie who was still sleeping, returned the drug to its place, and walked towards the door then out of the room.

As soon as Flynn left the room, Melanie opened her eyes and rushed out of the bed. She grabbed her green nightgown that was on the couch and wore it then rushed towards the drawer.

Actually, she had woken up the moment she felt Flynn’s lips on her lips. She was too lazy to open her eyes so she laid still.

She was surprised to see Flynn using drugs so early in the morning.

Of course, Flynn wasn’t sick, so why was he using drugs?

She opened the nylon and saw four plastics and read what they had on them each. One was for headache, another was for vomiting, another was for dizziness and the last was for stiffness.

Why was Flynn using all of these drugs?

She wondered, creasing her brow.

She stood there for almost a minute then she heard the door creaked open.

She glanced back and she saw Flynn walking casually into the room.

”Good morning, wifey. Hope you slept well?” He smiled.

But as soon as he saw what his wife was holding, he stopped smiling.

”I saw you using these drugs earlier. Why are you using them?” She impersonated a pose, pointing the drug at him.

”You saw me using it?” Flynn scratched his forehead.

Wait, wasn’t she sleeping?

How could she see that?

Ah… This woman is so sneaky!

TBC…
