THE MAFIA'S PENANCE

ACCOMPANY ME TONIGHT

The sentence that came out of Vernon's lips just now made me stunned to look at him. Did I not hear wrong? She loved me? Is Vernon's confession correct?

Suddenly Vernon showed me his grin. I realized Vernon wasn't serious about saying that to me.

"That's definitely the line you want to hear, right?" Vernon. "Listen baby, I'll never let you go. It was a promise I made in front of God. You're my wife."

"What do you mean?" I tried to understand Vernon's words because his words and facial expressions confused me.

"Until death we will not part. Do you understand?"

Vernon let me go immediately and I went straight into the bathroom. Standing in front of the mirror, I looked at my face thinking about Vernon's words.

I honestly don't understand everything he's saying. He told me to death that we wouldn't part, and he said he loved me. For a moment I believed his statement because when he said that sentence Vernon showed a serious face staring at me. But then she changed her face, and yet her words somehow sounded like she really loved me.

...****************...

I sat in the chair I used to sit at the dinner table. On the left side where Vernon was sitting in a single seat at the dining table, but this time Olivia was sitting on my left and Alec was sitting opposite me while his parents were sitting next to him.

"Sorry, both of our parents could not attend, they handed this matter to me, uncle is also busy because of something. Actually, he really wants to see you guys." Vernon.

"No problem, your parents must be very busy, right? So is your uncle." Alberto Gustavson, Alec's father.

"I think you'll be offended that they weren't present at this important meeting."

"That's impossible, Vern." Alec replied with a smile to Vernon.

"Well, if so we just decide when the wedding?" Vernon.

I kept staring at Alec who, even though he never turned to look at me. From the beginning, sitting in front of her with all the talk about her marriage, made me continue to endure the sadness that was in my heart.

"How, Viv? Is there anything you want to say?" Vernon's words broke my daydream.

I looked at Vernon in confusion, for I had not heard them all. I kept busy with my dreamy thoughts without hearing anything they had said.

"Three more months of the wedding will be held, can you help with all the preparations?" Vernon's question looked at me as well at everyone at the dinner table who was staring at me waiting for my answer.

"Ba—good." I answered with a heavy heart.

I immediately chose to go into the room and did not want to follow the conversation further. To be honest, I wasn't strong when I heard the conversation about Alec and Olivia's marriage. Even seeing how Alec treated Olivia made me want to cry. And now my head is getting very sick.

"You should have stayed there following the conversation, Viv." Exclaimed Vernon who had just walked into the room.

I stood up straight from my sleeping position. I planned to go outside the room because I didn't want to respond to Vernon's behavior after this.

"Where are you going?" Vernon asked as I walked past him, towards the door.

There were no words I said to answer his question. My sadness is already so great right now. I want to find a place to cry now.

But suddenly Vernon hugged me from behind as I held the knob and was about to open it.

I laughed a little at Vernon's words. Promise not to fuck around? That's impossible, even now he's hugging me without me wanting.

"My head is sick, Vern. Please don't bother me now." I said in a cold tone.

Vernon turned my body to face him. He smiled his smile at me.

"Let me out. I'm begging you." I wish Vernon would give his mercy to this heartbroken girl.

Finally Vernon let me go. I immediately came out of the room and was about to walk down the stairs, but my steps stopped when I saw Alec was pushing Olivia's wheelchair into Olivia's room.

Seeing them both makes me sad. I don't know why they seem to be getting closer. Curiously, I walked closer to Olivia's room. I stopped before approaching and intended to leave, but I saw that Olivia's bedroom door was not closed. It made me plan to get closer.

With courage I looked inside from the gap of the door that was not closed. Alec just dropped Olivia to his bed. The girl held Alec's hand as Alec was about to walk away.

"Alec, I'm glad we're getting married soon." Olivia looked at Alec with a smile.

Alec returned Olivia's smile and immediately sat on the side of the bed facing the girl. Gently, Alec grasped Olivia's hand very gently.

"I'm also glad we're getting married, Oliv." Answer Alec. "Rest, you must be tired."

"I love you so much, Alec."

"I love you too." Alec said, holding Olivia's face with his left hand and kissing the girl.

It seems like my decision was wrong when I intended to peep at them. I shouldn't have listened to my thoughts which ended up only adding to my current sadness.

Alec kisses Olivia, and the two of them are getting married. From his words yesterday I knew that Alec loved me as much as I loved him but why would Alec marry Olivia? He also said he loved the girl. Is Alec really in love with me?

"You need to rest Oliv, you look really tired." Alec held onto Olivia's face with both hands. "I have to go home too."

"We're getting married, Alec. Sleep here with me. Stay with me tonight." Said Olivia with a face that looked slightly embarrassed.

Alec was silent at Olivia's request, but suddenly Olivia hugged him. I can see how Olivia loves Alec so much. Inevitably Alec returned the girl's embrace by holding her too.

Once again the feeling in my heart was painful. Seeing my loved ones kissing and hugging another girl with my own eyes made me like a burning fire of jealousy which was so devastating to my feelings.

"I beg Alec, accompany me tonight, sleep here tonight with me. Our wedding date has also been set so I want us to get closer." Olivia held Alec's hand to stand up.

The girl's request to return made Alec unable to leave from there. Alec looks silent for a moment before returning to kiss Olivia.

This time Alec kisses Olivia by putting the girl to bed. Olivia also wrapped her hands around Alec's neck as if she didn't want him to stop kissing her.

I held my breath as tears began to flow without being able to hold it anymore as Alec moved his kiss towards Olivia's neck while Olivia's hand held Alec's head showing that he was happy with what he was going to do alec did it to him. Until Alec slowly unbuttoned the blouse worn by Olivia by continuing to******** the lips of the girl who already looks passionate.

I could no longer see the next thing, and chose to stay away from it. With a gontai step I walked away and down the stairs. I chose to leave that house. Sadness and tears I can't stand anymore. It's very painful for me.

How can I see a guy I like making love to another girl?
