THE MAFIA'S PENANCE

BEND MY KNEES IN FRONT OF ME

A month passed by so very quickly, and during that time I was in Castelluccio, the place where Esteban came from. Every day I would spend time in a colorful-looking flower garden with poppies, violets, and rapeseeds decorating it.

"Mistress, eat these loaves." Excited Linda sister Esteban put a basket filled with bread.

Esteban has two younger sisters, aged 14 and 10, named Linda and Darla. The two of them were always with me when I was in the park.

It's noon now. Since morning I just sit by the park enjoying the scenery that I rarely see. I haven't eaten since a month ago. I know there's something in my body right now.

"Later I'll eat it." I answered Linda.

"Eat the mistress, you spit out your breakfast this morning. Est asked me to make sure the mistress fills the mistress' stomach always." Linda. "Darla, come!!" Linda called her sister who was playing in the park.

"Lin, where's Esteban?" I asked to look at Linda who was still standing next to me.

"She said she was going to the market. But it's been three hours and he hasn't come back." Answer Linda. "Wash your hands first." Linda picked up a bottle of drink and poured it into Darla's hand that came to us.

Darla immediately took the bread in the basket and thrust it at me.

"Eat the mistress, the baby in your stomach must be hungry." Darla said putting the bread thrust at me into my hand.

"Thank you." I said with a smile.

Yeah, I think I'm pregnant again now. I haven't checked yet but everything I felt was like the time when I was pregnant just yet. It seems that when I fell into a hangover I made love to Vernon and caused me to get pregnant with his son, again.

I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I don't want to see him anymore, and even after I left here Vernon didn't call me. But I will still give birth to her child.

"This bread is so good, isn't it, madam?" Ask Darla who is sitting next to me. "Est is very good at making bread."

I nodded with a smile in response to the words of the little girl beside me.

"Mrs, we better go home now. Madam has to rest a lot." Linda Exclamation.

"Right lady, the babies in your stomach are so tired." Darla holds my stomach by rubbing it.

Somehow that little girl from the beginning said that there was a baby in my stomach when we met. Even now his words make me wonder.

"Babies?" My gaze slightly inclined my body to align with Darla to talk to her.

Darla nodded steadily with a smile revealing one of her toothless front teeth. Then he took his bread.

"No need to listen to what he says, madam. He always talks as he pleases." Linda Exclamation. "Come, ma'am, we're back home. Esteban must have gone home."

I obeyed Linda and immediately got up from sitting.walking through the colorful flower garden area. This place is really very beautiful, have no regrets about me coming here.

"Mrs..." Call Esteban who's a bit of a screamer. He had just got off a Jeep at a distance of about a hundred meters.

"Did Est pick us up?" Ask Darla.

"Yes, it seems so." I turned to Darla who was also looking at me.

"Who's with him?"

Linda's question made me look back at Esteban, who was still far away. My heart was so twisted that I stopped my steps when I saw someone get out of the car.

"Mrs know him?" Ask Linda.

Vernon came with Esteban. How could Esteban have brought her here without asking my permission before? And would Vernon ever want to see me? I think he's been living happily with Wynetta the woman he loves so much.

Together with Vernon, I sat back in the chair I was sitting in the garden.

A moment of silence enveloped us. If I could I wouldn't say anything to Vernon. And I won't listen to anything he'll say either. After I got out of his house again, I thought it was over.

"That boy called me he said that you're not doing very well. But it looks like you're okay." Vernon finally made a sound.

But Vernon quickly grabbed my arm, and he stood up.

"Are you really pregnant again?" Vernon's question made me turn to him, looking at him.

"No. I'm not pregnant. I told you I don't want to have children with you. Now leave. Don't bother my life anymore. I'm tired of everything." I said after that, shaking his hand.

As soon as I walked away to where Esteban and his two brothers were waiting for us in a Jeep car far away.

Now I'm getting pissed at Esteban. Why did she tell Vernon about my pregnancy? I don't think the young man likes Vernon.

I hope Vernon leaves soon and doesn't come to see me again. Even if I'm pregnant, I'm going to raise my son alone and I don't want Vernon to know. I think it's in return for my disgust with him.

Suddenly Vernon pulled me so fast that I turned to him and immediately hugged me. I tried to push him, but he didn't want to let me go and grabbed me very tightly.

"Listen to Viv, it's not what you think it is." Vernon. "All I've known before when you came back to your house and when you were pregnant. Art always told me about Wynetta, but I never believed it until I investigated it myself. And it turned out to be true, from the very beginning he betrayed me. Regarding the photo, I deliberately did not get rid of it because I wanted to upset you. But I don't think you're really that upset."

I pushed Vernon with all my might because he let go of his embrace. What he said didn't change things.

"That time you were not aware of your love for me. I want you to be aware of it, and when I'm on the yacht I'm about to tell you but it all happens first. When I brought you back from Venice—"

"Already, Vern. For me it's not important anymore. Go, I don't want to be with you anymore." I said with great emphasis that Vernon would listen to my words.

Immediately I turned around and walked back not caring about Vernon who was behind me.

"Viv, you're pregnant with my son, I won't let you have it alone."

I still didn't touch him and kept going.

"You can't leave me if I don't leave you!!"

Still, I won't listen to what he says.

"Your brother gave you to me, you can't just walk away from me!! You're my prisoner, Viv!!"

Vernon sounded really upset because I kept going. Our distance is getting further because I won't stop getting away from him.

"Viv!!" Vernon. "Stop!! Please come back to me." This time Vernon's voice was sounding weak.

Knowing that I stopped walking and turned to look at him who had been begging me.

"Viv, please come back to me. You were right all along and I was wrong. I didn't even hear all of your words just yet." Vernon.

The one with the smile on my lips saw the man looking at me with his position and heard all his words to me pleading.

"I told you, I'm going to bring you to your knees in front of me, my dear Vernon." My whisper is slowly still casting a triumphant smile.
