The Gang Leader

||Chapter 19||

Cecilia's Pov

I'm all snuggled up in my apartment, candles were lit and I was cosied up on the sofa in my living room. A knock sounded on my apartment door.

I wasn't expecting maybe it was Reece, he always showed up when I least expected him too.

I think back to the events that took place the other day. I was horrified when he told me about wanting to kill my family. I shouldn't be though, I had seen Reece kill someone before, that day at the club. He didn't even glance at the body, he seemed like he didn't care at all. That was probably because he didn't care.

I told Reece clearly how I would feel if he even tried to harm my parents. I would never do speak to him again, our relationship would be over.

I stand up from my warm seat on the sofa and walk over too my door. I pull it open too see a my mother with a tear stained face.
My fist indistinct was to pull her in for a hug, her and dad probably had an argument.

Whenever my mother and father and an argument, my mum would come to me and seek my support. We never spoke though, we always just sat in silence. Then soon enough the crying would stop and she would get up and leave without saying a word. I guess she was always embarrassed at the end of her outbursts maybe that was the reason that she never said a word.
The next day everything would always be forgotten. Mum and Dad would be in a good place and as usual I would get ignored or either yelled at all the time.

She pushed me away as soon as my arms wrap around her. It confused me, she always hugged me back. Maybe she was mad about that night we had the dinner. I open my mouth ask her what she was doing her when I see her face. She looked livid. She wasn't crying she just looked plain angry.

She clenches her hands in to tight fists, her knuckles turn white.

"Why?" She screams into my face, her breath reeked of cheap beer. I cock my eye brow, mum never drunk anything except for the finest wines and rosè.

I frown at her. What is she doing here?

"How did you know I live here?" I say deepening my frown. Ignoring her question. What did she mean by why...

"Don't answer my question with a question" she sneers, spit splatters out of her mouth on to my face.

"Fine then! Why? What do you mean why!?" I say confused. The quicker I answered her question, the quicker she would leave.

"Why are you with him! He's a monster" she stomps her foot angrily like a child.

I immediately realise she's talking about ReeceBecause I want to be" I say simply. What I do in my life has absolutely nothing to do with her.

She opens her mouth to speak but I cut her off.

"Time to answer my question" I say glaring at her.

She smirks.
"You know Cecilia. I thought you knew me and your father better then that. The minute you bought this lousy apparent we were notified and we've been tracking your every move since you left home" she says happily like she's achieved something.

"Leave" I say angrily.

She laughs.

"No" she says smirking. She carries on "this my apartment just as much as its yours"

I clench my fists.

"Leave" I say angrily.

My so called mother opens her mouth to speak but she gets cut off by another voice.
