Judas kiss

Chapter 41 - Tainted by the devil.

"You go to Roosevelt?" Lyle, Della's half brother questioned as Della drove to Andre's house. The boys

had been conversing in the backseat of Andre's expensive looking piece of machine that he had

allowed Della to borrow. Della on the other hand was excited, excited to see her sons reaction. He

clearly wasn't expecting anything big for his birthday well clearly.

"Yep." Leo shrugged.

"I almost went there but my application was rejected because of... my mom's personal records…" Lyle

shrugged.

"There do applications in primary schools?" Jeanine asked on the passenger seat. She had been

invited to the party by Della and she didn't think Jeanine would want to ride with her here she was

conversing with a thirteen year old and a seven year old.

"Yeah... apparently only those top notch schools." Lyle replied.

Suddenly Jeanine turned to her, son's ex wife. "How did you do it Della?"

Della was a bit taken aback with the question and not just the question but generally... the woman who

had drugged her seven years ago conversing with her. Jeanine once upon a time hated Della's guts,

this was shocking. Was this genuine or what was she up to?

"Well it was actually Garreth's idea. His step kids used to go there so he just suggested it and well Leo

using the McCarthy last name.. earned him a place there surprisingly." She explained. That was initially

the time Garreth had been and acted like her guardian angel before she came to know that he was her

father.

"Mommy, can Jason come over then maybe we can order pizza and play Xbox?" Leo whined, he

looked so cute, it warmed his mother's heart. He had absolutely no idea of what awaited at him so Lyle

and Jeanine simple chuckled to themselves.

"Absolutely not, you're still grounded." Della said sternly focusing on the road, before stopping at a red

traffic light/robot.

"Grounded? I thought you said you were okay now. Mommy it's my birthday!" Leo said sadly, he rolled

his? the very same blue eyes he had inherited from his father and turned to look at the window. A little

pout on his lips. It was quiet for a bit before he spoke again.

"Can we at least go to McDonald's?" Leo said in a sad tone.

"Leo, listen to your mom okay!" His grand mom said making him huff. Everyone in the car was enjoying

seeing him beyond mad.

"I won't ever forgive you for this." Leo huffed, looking back the window watching the view that passed

by. Everyone simply let him be not wanting to spill the beans or make him suspicious.

Noticing that they were taking a different route, Leo let out another sigh. "Mom, why are we going to

dad's?"

Della panicked a bit before Jeanine came in.

"Well she needs to drop you off and also leave you with your dad before going for a late shift."

"But mom?" Leo shook his head. "Why are you working on my birthday?"

Leo always spent every single birthday with his mom, it just wouldn't be the same without her.

"Sorry Leo.." Della faked a sigh but a smirk was on her lips, gladly he couldn't see her facial

expression. Lyle and Jeanine found it very amusing..

"But mom-"

"Leo, I have to work okay?" Della said in a stern voice making Leo close his mouth and look away.?

Twenty minutes into the silence, Leo parked on Andre's driveway. "Why are there so many cars?" Leo

asked getting out the car and shutting the door in an aggressive manor. He wasn't happy and wanted it

to be known. He just wanted to know why the place was packed. It was never usually like this..

"The neighbors are hosting a cook out so they asked your dad if they could use his parking as well.."

Della rep(lied).

"Why? Their place is like way farther from ours-"

It was weird how Leo had said 'ours' this was supposed to be her life. Husband, cute kid and a beautiful

home. She wiped the frown off her face. Leo didn't get a response so he continued to walk towards the

front door. Della had already texted Andre and Mila that she was on her way.. so they ought to be

ready.

Leo walked slowly clearly irritated, they couldn't wait for him to see what they had install for him. This

would be Leo's very first party.

Leo greeted the Butler, Albane. Jeanine, Della and Lyle followed behind him making sure he would

open the door first. She had texted her ex husband telling him to get everyone ready, hopefully he did.

As soon as Leo opened the door, he was greeted with confetti everywhere. A shocked look on his face.

He pouted his lips trying to digest if this was for real.

"Mom, you really did this for me?" He asked his mom who just nodded. Leo sped up to give his mother

a big hug, he loved her so much.

"And dad." Della added not wanting to take all the credit to herself. Leo quickly ran to hug his dad as

well. Everyone was in awe. Alfredo couldn't stop staring glances from Mila who was well irritated why

his presence. Alfredo kept thinking about how he also wanted a little one with Mila of-course and

without any doubt he would have that. He didn't care how but he would have it. Alfredo was convinced

he would win Mila back.

Mila couldn't stop thinking about her baby, he/she would have been a tad bit older than Leo. It

absolutely bothered her. Leo was always such a reminder.

Andre was shocked to see his mother waddle behind Della.

"What is she doing here?" Andre hissed at his brother Luca.

"I don't know, chill out ami." Luca shrugged going to get himself a drink. Everyone continued to go to

the back yard where everything had been set up. Andre slowly approached his mother who stood out

wearing the last summers collection of Louis Vuitton. It was a gift. Jeanine gave her son a big smile,

she missed him and she was ready for them to be family again with his little boy ofcourse. Jeanine

wanted to fix the marriage she broke, not for herself but for her grandson. He much deserved a family

not a broken one.

"Mama.." Andre gave his mother a tight smile.

"Sorry, I couldn't get a gift. I decided to ride here with Della when she picked up my grandson."

First of all, Andre was beyond baffled by her mother calling Leo 'grandson'

She had complained about not wanting to age but here she was finally accepting that she had a

grandson.

"I apologized to her and we sort out our differences." Jeanine said softly. "I'm sorry about everything I

did in the past. It was evil, there is no excuse for it. What if she could have lost our little Leo because of

me?" Jeanine sighed feeling guilty. "Andre, I will help you get your wife back and to fix everything.."

"Thanks Mama, all I ever wanted was for you to admit you were wrong." Andre said his voice a little

husky, he turned his head to look where Della was standing with Spencer. She was laughing at

something he had said and she continuously hit his chest. Garreth was beside them looking pleased.

He had figured out that, as long as Della was not anywhere involved with Andre.. Garreth was beyond

pleased.

Leo was happy that his friends from school had been invited including his best friend Jason. They were

at the jumping castle, he was glad this once lonely mansion was now being out to use.

"Oh Andre, you will always be my little boy." Jeanine cooed making Andre roll his eyes. He hated

whenever she did that.

On the other side of the house.. upstairs-

"Alfredo, you can't force me to be a room with you when I don't want to." Mila yelled at this devilishly

handsome man who only looked at her with anger.

"Alfredo tell your body guard to open the door before I scream.." they were in a guest room and Mila

knew they wouldn't be heard because of the music downstairs. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

"Scream.." Alfredo said his voice laced with amusement.

"I hate you." She sighed feeling defeated.

"I love you, Mila. I loved you when you were eighteen-" Mila's eyes bulged out. "I still love you now."

"What are you talking about?" She said nervously backing away from him only to hit the wall. He

towered over her, walking slow towards her like a predator out for the hunt.

"You know what I'm talking about.." He hissed dangerously. Now they were so close, they were

breathing the same air.

"I don't-"

She was cut off.

"Don't fucking lie to me Mila." He hissed, his Mexican accent playing in tune. "Why didn't you tell me

you were pregnant?" He asked her. Mila wanted to cry, she felt as if her demons were chasing her back

from the past. She didn't want anything to do with the mafia. She loved her life here, she worked, had

her own little apartment, went clubbing, got laid, baby sat Leo, traveled with her savings. She loved her

life. She was comfortable with it. Alfredo wanted to complicate it all.

"I-" She stuttered.

"You thought I wouldn't want the child?" He asked emotionally.

"My parents decided for me, it wasn't my decision." Now Mila was crying. "They even had multiple

priests pray for me saying I had been tainted by the devil and the fact that I was caring your child..

made it worse."

This hurt Alfredo, so they really saw him as the devil. Well from his stance if some mafia came and

stole their innocent daughter only for her virginity then brought her back pregnant-

Personally Alfredo would have killed anyone who did that to his little girl.

"I'm sorry." Alfredo whispered bringing Mila into his arms. She was emotional. She was crying, she

couldn't help it.

"I looked for you.. but they told me you killed your.self.. they even showed me your grave." He

whispered as he rubbed circles on her back.

"I haven't seen them in years.." She mumbled, her tears were probably messing up his suit she thought

as she quickly pulled away from him.

"I'm sorry Mila, for taking your innocence without your permission. I won't blame my father or anyone

but myself. I did that willingly, after laying my eyes on you lust took over my thoughts. It would have

been noble of me to let you or help you run away but I didn't. I played along.. and tainted you." He said

softly.

"It's fine, I have forgotten about it. I just need to go help out downstairs now.." She excused herself but

he pulled her back.

"I love you Mila and I need you." He said calmly before letting her go and telling the guard to finally

open the door. Mila was confused, as she wiped her tears. She was glad she didn't wear any make up.

It would have been a mess. She didn't know how to feel about everything happening around her. It all

felt like a distant dream.
