The Mafia’s Possession

“Babe, the one for headache is mine,” he scratched his forehead nervously.

”You’re having a headache? What about the rest?”

“Yeah, so I had my doctor get it for me. The rest… they are mine too,” he smiled.

”Why? Are you sick?” Melanie creased her brow.

“Come on, I am not sick,” he faked a smile.

“Then why…” Melanie started then suddenly felt nauseous, she dropped the drugs on the drawer, pushed Flynn aside, and rushed to the bathroom while Flynn followed her hurriedly.

“Babe, what’s wrong?” Flynn panicked as he patted her back while Melanie kept vomiting inside the sink.

He dabbed her face with water, wiped and helped her rinse her mouth then he lifted her gently from the ground and carried her out of the bathroom, and dropped her on the bed.

“We should visit the hospital, sweetheart,” Flynn creased his brow as he stroked her hair gently.

“No, it’s fine. I guess it is because of the pregnancy. I’ll be fine,” Melanie reassured him.

“It is not fine at all, sweetheart. We should visit the hospital. We should know what we must do to keep you and our baby healthy. Please, babe.”

“I don’t like going to the hospital,” Melanie pouted, rubbing her head against Flynn’s chest.

“No one likes going there, babe. I’ll be there with you, okay?” he whispered in her ear, still stroking her hair.

“Hmm…”

“Babe.”

“Okay, I’ll go,” she frowned her face.

“That is my baby. I love you. I’ll have the maids prepare breakfast. I’ll help you run your bath.”

“You know I don’t like people making my food. I’ll prepare breakfast,” Melanie raised her head and looked at her husband.

“No, I won’t have you do that. I’m not good at cooking, I would have prepared something for us unless you would like me to prepare chicken noodles,” Flynn stared at his wife who twitched her mouth in disgust.

”Trust me, I don’t want to have that.”

“Well, I thought you loved it,” Flynn raised a brow.

“Yeah, but just the thought of it makes me feel nauseous,” Melanie frowned her face.

”Ah… I see. Let’s have the maids prepare breakfast, please.”

”Okay, but…”

Melanie felt nauseous again and rushed to the bathroom while Flynn ran after her.

‘Okay, I guess this is not going to be easy,’

Flynn thought as he patted her back.

Well, no matter how hard it was going to be, he was going to enjoy the feeling that comes with expecting a baby.

Camila creased her brow as she saw her middle-aged security man coming towards her in the garden of her house with a bouquet.

She stood from the couch and folded her arm tightly across her chest.

“What are you doing?”

“Someone wanted me to deliver this to you,” he bowed slightly.

Camila clenched her fist and sighed deeply, if it were someone else, she would have lashed him or her with word then have him or her fired. But this old security man was one of those people she liked and respected.

“Don’t bring something like this to me again. Drop it on that table and you can leave,” she said and the security man bowed the dropped the bouquet on the table that was in front of him then turned to leave.

“Did you see his face? Can you recognize him if you see him again?” Camila asked and the aged man stopped walking.

“I saw his face but I don’t think I can recognize him again. He wore a black face cap and a black hoodie that almost covered his lower face.”

Gosh, wasn’t this man dumb? How could he collect something like this from someone like that?

“It is fine, I will go through the surveillance camera, you can leave.”

She shook her head as she watched him leave, when he was out of sight, she walked towards the flower and carried it. She inhaled the fresh flower deeply then smiled at the nerves calming scent it gave her.

Then, she saw the paper that was inside the flowers, she removed it and dropped the flowers then read the letter that went thus aloud;

“Just like how you can’t wait to see the face behind these letters and flowers, I can’t wait to see your beautiful face again. I hope you are not going through any stress. Don’t pin our baby on anybody, don’t abort it either. I’ll come for the two of you before anyone, especially the media knows about it. Stay good, beauty.”

“RELD”

Camila folded the paper tightly and furrowed her brow. Who the hell was this person that calls himself Reld? Who was he and how does he know about the baby.

She shook her head as she remember the man she had a nightstand with, there was no way the guy knew about it.

If he knew, then he surely was not an average man. If not, how the hell could any random person find that much information about her.

Only her mother knew about it and she was sure that her mother will not go around, running her mouth. It was going to ruin her reputation.

She needs to see Flynn as soon as she can before her flat stomach starts to bulge. That arrogant tycoon had not been regular at work ever since he returned home from his honeymoon. To worsen the matter, he wasn’t even picking her call. No, it was not even going through!

All she needs to do was to visit the handsome tycoon.

As for Reld or whatever his name was, she was going to think about him later.

Flynn held his wife’s hand as the gynecologist explain to Melanie and him about things Melanie must do and not do.

He glanced at his wife who listened with rapt attention. A smile was plastered widely across her face and it was very evident that his wife was very happy.

Of course, he was very glad too.

He was going to be a father, but he was dying too.

Melanie had cried as she watched the ultrasound scan, she placed her head on Flynn’s chest while her husband stroked her hair gently. She was overwhelmed with joy as she stared at the embryo on the screen. She was going to be a mother, like seriously.

“You should expect many scenes like this, it is part of the pregnancy hormones,” the gynecologist smiled as she watched the couple before her.

“Of course. Before she even got pregnant, she was emotional and now that we are carrying a baby, I expect more of that,” Flynn smiled, still stroking her hair.

And now that we are carrying a baby?

That sounded so sweet to Melanie that she clung to her husband tighter not minding where they were.

Wow, her husband was a real jackpot.

SIX DAYS LATER…

Flynn sat in the living room downstairs with Melanie clung to him, they were watching a Korean drama, BLOOD, eating popcorn from the same bowl, under the duvet.

Ever since they have arrived from the hospital, six days ago, Flynn had become more overprotective than he used to be. He would not even let her enter the kitchen and Melanie could swear that she had no idea how the kitchen looked like since the past six days.

Well, it’s not like the kitchen would have changed but notwithstanding, should he not have allowed her to get mineral water from the refrigerator herself?

He even stopped going to work, her overprotective husband had been working from home.

Ah… he was going to get tired soon anyways.

Elle, Kyle, Tyler, and Melinda were returning to Los Angeles today, no matter how hard Flynn had insisted they stay till Elle recovered since she had just undergone surgery, none of them agreed. Especially Elle herself. Flynn almost regretted telling them that Melanie was pregnant. Well, he just wanted to share the good news, who knew they were going to insist on coming back home?

Kyle had almost screamed his lung out when he heard the news, That dude even wanted Melanie to reveal her bare stomach when they did a video call.

Ugh! Those kids were not going to let his wife rest.

Melanie raised her head and looked at Flynn as soon as she heard the main gate open and a car drove in, “They are here.”

“Are you that glad they are back? You know how troublesome they can be,” Flynn creased his brow and Melanie laughed.

“Well, I missed that troublesome part of them the most,” Melanie smiled and Flynn shook his head.

Well, he missed them too, but not as much as wanting to be with his beautiful wife all day.

The door burst open and Kyle entered first.

“Brother, you heard the gate open and the car drove in and you could not even come to welcome us. I see you enjoy bullying my beautiful sister-in-law.”

“Here comes the trouble himself,” Flynn groaned and Melanie laughed.

”When did I suddenly become your beautiful sister-in-law?” Melanie laughed and sat up.

”I…”

”Sister-in-law!” Elle rushed inside the house and Melanie stood up.

”You should not run,” Melanie said to Elle who didn’t mind her but rushed to hug her.

”Gosh, I’m so happy!” Elle screamed in excitement as she hugged Melanie tightly swirling around the room with her.

”Hey, don’t injure my wife,” Flynn pulled Elle away from Melanie.

”My baby,” Melinda sobbed and pulled Melanie into a hug.

”Mum…”

”Congratulations baby. I’m going to be a grandmother! Gosh, Melanie…” Melinda pulled away then hugged her again.

”Bestie,” Tyler hugged her but Flynn pulled him away immediately.

”Don’t hug my wife. Hug your woman, she is beside you,” Flynn rolled his eyes and pulled Melanie gently towards him.

”This calls for celebration, right twinnie?” Elle faced Kyle.

”Sure!” Kyle grinned.

”I told y’all not to come home. Elle, you’re still recovering,” Flynn furrowed his brow.

”She will recover here. I’m gonna watch sister-in-law’s stomach grow till she delivers the baby,” Kyle stared at Melanie’s stomach and Elle hit his head slightly.

”Don’t stare at her stomach too much, you dummy.”

Everyone sat and started to talk about the name they were going to give the baby when the bell rang.

”Are you expecting anyone?” Kyle asked as he stood from the couch then walked towards the door.

”Hello, Mr. Kyle. Boss has a visitor,” the guard said.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

”Who is that?” Kyle asked.

”Miss Camila Hayes,” he answered.

”Bro, Camila is here!” Kyle screamed then suddenly covered his mouth with his palm.

Meanwhile, Melanie glared at Flynn, waiting for what her husband was going to say.

”Tell her that I am…”

”Let her in,” Melanie interrupted him, still glaring at him.

”Babe…” Flynn whispered to her ear.

”What?” Melanie mouthed then placed her head on his shoulder.

Camila wished the ground should swallow her when she entered and saw all of Harlan members and even faces she does not recognize.

”Elle, let’s get you to your room,” Melinda stood up, not interested in what the woman was here for.

”Yes, mum,” Elle stood up and held Melinda and Tyler’s hand who stood up to follow them.

Kyle was interested in what his brother’s mistress was here for but he needed to leave since everyone decided to leave.

Ugh! Not good.

”What are you doing here?” Flynn asked Camila who sat opposite him.

”Everyone left, are you not going to do the same?” Camila faced Melanie whose head was placed on Flynn’s chest.

Well, she could allow her to enjoy that much.

Flynn was going to be hers in a few minutes anyway.

”Camila, this woman is my wife. So, say whatever you want to say here,”

”Are you sure you want me to say it here?” Camila smirked.

”Go on…”

”Flynn, I am…”

Then the bell rang with interrupted her.

Flynn was about to stand up when the door open.

”I see the Harlan didn’t change the passcode to enter the mansion,” the intruder said in an Italian accent.

Melanie raised her head as she saw the beautiful woman that entered the living room with a little girl that is not more than six years old.

Flynn’s throat suddenly went dry as he stared at the woman that just entered.

”Boss! I tried to stop her from entering but…” The guard ran inside and said hurriedly but as soon as he saw the atmosphere inside the living room, he retreated silently.

Camila frowned her face as she glared at the woman that had just entered. She hated the fact that she felt very inferior to this very beautiful and charming woman.

”H… Hazel?” Flynn finally whispered

”Hazel!?” Camila and Melanie exclaimed.

”Pronto(hello),” she smiled widely.

TBC…
