105: Dumbness and sorry

KIKI.

Fifi was confused as soon as Giovanni told him that Grace was his mom and so was I. I didn’t expect him to claim it so easily because a few minutes or hours ago, he was not believing it but then my heart was glad when he did.

“What do you mean she’s your mom? That makes no sense, baby. We all know who your mom is and she’s sittting right beside your dad, it’s not this… uh… woman you are talking about. Have you developed an amnesia of some sort, thaz is not anything like your mom dear!” She said, remaining adamant.

“Just shut the fuck up, Fifi, I don’t don’t have anything to say to you.” Giovanni said sternly and I smiled.

“Look, Fifi, I’ll explain this to you in the shortest way I can, so listen!” Gaston chipped in even with his bursted nose.

“Oh, thank you!”

“So uh, this guy here was never part of our family, he is a bastard in short, given birth to by this uh homebreaker that you’re seeing right now, and then she disappeared when she saw that her son wouldn't yield any profit for her, my mom like the great and kindhearted woman that she is, took her son in and raised her as one of hers, now she’s back and this one right here, Giovanni, I mean is still ungrateful, so that’s all of it in short.” Gaston explained earning glares from majority of us in the room.

“It’s funny how you keep discarding the fact that dad impregnated her which means that he’s still his father and he’s not innocent at all, well, that’s if we are going to act your stupid story is the truth anyways.” A young girl that looked a little bit like Giovanni said.

And from what I’ve seen in Giovanni’s family pictures, she had to be his younger sister, which means she’s the same one he spoke so dearly about as the only one who always has his back in the family.

She’s also so cute and seems very nice, a total opposite of what her mom had been showing since we came around.

I watched for what Fifi’s reaction would be and it was definitely what I had not expected from her kind of person, she rushed towards Grace’s side as she went on her knees, shocking most of us in the room.

Uh… what?

“Hy, mom. I’m Giovanni’s fiancée, the love of his life and his wife to be, infact, we have been planning on having our wedding very soon…” Fiorella started earning scoffs and eye rolls.

I was not left behind as I scowled at her stupid attempt at redeeming herself in front of the same woman that she had ridiculed, slapped and maltreated several times.

A dumbass if you ask me.

“Mom, I know that I might have offended you by how I acted towards you in the few weeks that you’ve known me but I want you to know that I’m usually not like that, it was just a bad side of me that you were unfortunate to have witnessed, you can ask around, I’m such a sweet and amazing soul and I’m not like that at all…” She continued causing me to snicker so loudly at all that she was just doing.

What the heck? This girl was absolutely dumber than I gave her credit for.

Who on earth did she think that she was fooling?

My snickers earned a little attention as they all turned to look in my direction, Giovanni smiled at me while instruggled to keep my laughter in.

“I can’t see that dear. You really are sweet.” Grace said sarcastically but Fiorellla as the usual dumb person that she was believed it as her acceptance.

“Uh… just in case I’ve not made this an announcement to this family, I not getting married to Fiorella for any reason at all, people.” Giovanni suddenly spoke up earning fake gasps form one or two people in the room.

“Oh, please. You guys need to stop acting like you didn’t see this coming, you literally forced her on me even though you knew that I didn’t like this girl. I’m not getting married to Fiorella, father. I don’t like her at all, her attitude, her ways, every single thing about reeks and I am not sorry to say that at all. The only woman I like that way is her,” he paused as he took my hand and lifted it up dramatically.

“Kiki is the woman after my heart, the only one I love and want to get married to, she’s a beauty inside and outside.” He concluded causing me to blush so hard.

And then at that point, my eyes made contact with the lest person I’d ever exoect in the room, I had not even noticed her presence at all and now that I did, I felt jittery and angry all over again.

My mom.

Burning rage hissed through my body like deathly poison, screeching a demanded release in the form of unwanted violence. It was like a volcano erupting; fury sweeping off me like ferocious waves. Anger boiled deep in my system, as hot as lava. It churned within, hungry for destruction, and I knew that it was too much for me to handle. The pressure of this raging sea of anger would force me to say things that would hurt so many people, or to express thoughts I’ve suppressed all my life.

I knew I had to get out this place before I erupt in my furious state. I know that this feeling will pass, but while it hasn’t, I’m well aware I could really hurt people. So I escape. I walked out of the house as fast as I could.

I had a feeling that if I had a gun at that moment, I would not even hesitate to use it at all.

I bolt out of the huge house immediately but I could feel footsteps rapidly behind me and then a feminine voice calling out my name and asking me to please wait.

When I couldn’t keep walking, I had to stop and then I turned, coming face to face with her. The worst person in my life, the last person I wanted to come in contact with nor see anymore in my life.

“I’m so sorry, Kiki. I really am for everything that I put you through and how I just simply avoided you for years, I’m so sorry, Kiki.” She started and I scoffed.

“Sorry? Sorry? Really? You left for years, you discarded your family for years, caused dad’s death, said such mean things to us and you’re saying sorry? The one time you even visited, you called me a mistake and then told me to stay out of your life and not ask for you anymore! You told me to think of you as dead and now you’re back to do what? Say sorry? Sorry for what, mom? Sorry for what exactly? Dad’s death? Discarding Jojo and calling him an imbecile? Calling me a mistake and discarding me too? Being around in my city and not bothering to come check on your own children even once? And all for what, money What exactly are you sorry for, mom? Pick one, please!” I yelled at her, releasing every single bit of pain that I had held in for years.

Tears streamed down my face as I spoke. I had more but I ahd decide to just round it all up like that. It was easier, it was better than saying so many things, she did. If I did, I felt like I would actually break down in the spot I was at.

“Baby, I’m so sorry, I… do know that I have absolutely no excuse or lie to defend myself but I’m sorry. I really am, I’ve reflected on all I did and I know that I was a total bitch that just chose money over my children, the kids I brought I this world without their permission. I’m so sorry, Kiki.” She went on and on begging.

Before I could even say anything more that I had in my mind to say to her, Fifi stormed towords me and strikes my cheek with so much force that I staggered.

“Fifi!” Both Giovanni and her mom shouted while I just remained mute, tired of everything already.

“You! You came and just took everything away from me, everything that’s suposoed to be mine, you are simply taking them all with a snap of your fingers, don’t you think…” I zoned her out as Giovannu shouted on top of his voice to have her thrown out with immediate effect.

Even as she was being dragged out, she kept shouting nd calling me names. I looked I mom’s direction one more time before she leaves and I said to her, “I’m so glad that I didn’t go with you, mom. It’s my best decision ever, I can’t imagine ending up like Fifi, you did a bad job, just saying.

I smiled at her as she left bit then talking like that to her didn’t make me feel better, but at least, she’ll feel what she made me feel for years.
