“Baby… how did this happen and nobody knew?”
“I … I told you guys I had a bad cold so I took time off.”
A bad cold.
I remember when she was off.
It was three weeks. I messaged but I should have gone to see her.
She came back after being off and ran straight into my arms... she cried and cried and never stopped. I just assumed it was something to do with Gabe. I wasn’t wrong, but I never guessed that the bad thing he did was so much worse than the usual.
Mimi was actually pregnant with Gabe’s child, had a fucking car accident and lost her child because she saw him fucking around.
That is what she is telling me.
That.
It explains now why she hated him so much last year.
“Gabriel…” I seethe like I’m about to breathe fire. My fucking brother did this.
“Please, don’t tell him. Don’t,” she begs. “We know what he’s been through.”
“Fuccccckkkkkk!” I balk and throw a fist into the wall. “Fucking fuck Mimi, yes, we know what he’s fucking been through but it doesn’t make it all right.”
I’m so enraged I can’t even wipe the tears from my eyes.
She moves to me and holds my arm.
“Salvatore, please… don’t say anything. We both know how stupid I was. I knew he was never serious about me and I take my own blame in the situation because I allowed him to play me. I’m happy for him and Charlotte, and their baby.”
“How can you say that with all that happened to you?” I throw back.
“I don’t want you to tell him. I don’t want you to do anything to him.”
Right now I feel like killing him. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“No.”
“No one was there for you.” That part is what gets me the most. I’ve always taken care of her. It’s hard for me to accept that she went through so much and I couldn’t help.
“You were there, like you always are Salvatore. You just didn’t know the fine print.”
People always say my brothers and I are cut from the same cloth because we have the same alpha trait. In some ways we’re the same. In others not so much.
It’s the first time I’ve actually felt like killing one.
I step back, away from her and clench my jaw.
“Salvatore please… don’t do anything,” she pleads.
I head back to the door and she follows. She grabs my arm again and cries harder.
“Salvatore Giordano I will never forgive you if you do something stupid,” she screams. “You know Gabe is not the same man he was last year. Don’t lose yourself in rage. He’s your brother.”
Right now I wish he wasn’t.
I leave her and she doesn’t follow, at least it seems she still trusts me enough to know I won’t do something she’ll never forgive.
