Cassandra, The Mafia's Bride

The following day, Davis went to his family's house, he left there at an age of eighteen, after the accident that almost took his life. A death that was planned by his step mom to get rid of him. When he arrived at the huge mansion that looked kind of old, the huge gate was opened for him and he drove in. When he stepped out of the car some maids came out of the mansion to welcome him, they collected his coat and welcomed him in. His dad, a well-known drug dealer who had retired a long time ago, was sitting down close to a fire in the sitting room sipping a hot cup of coffee and reading a newspaper. His step mom was in the kitchen with the cook and one of her grown up son discussing and laughing about old times. At last the mom got what she wanted; her sons got the company of his dad because they all thought he was dead and long gone from their lives. Everything was okay with them, except his dad who was always longing to see him every now and then.

When Davis entered the mansion he was surprised at all the changes in the mansion, he was still staring at all the different things in the mansion when his father called out his name in surprise,

Anthony(Davis dad): (Surprised to see his dead son again, he thought he was hallucinating as usual. But when Davis turned to his father with a smile on his face, he knew he wasn't dreaming, it was real this time. He was happy, so happy that tears of joy began to flow from his eyes, he stood up and walked slowly to his son due to his old age) Davis, my son, you are back from the dead after so many years.

Davis: (With tears in his eyes, he had sworn never again to come back home after the incident that almost took his life. But now that he is back, he feels like it's the best decision ever, he never knew he had missed his dad this much, he ran into the arms of his dad like small child) Dad, dad

Anthony: (So happy to feel his son in his arms again) My son

After minutes of father and son reunion, they separated and sat down together on a big sofa, all this while, his step mom had been watching them with envy and jealousy, she kept on wondering why and how he was still alive.

Karma: (Angry and jealous) How is he still alive? Those idiots didn't do their job well again. Since he refused to die and leave us alone, I'll make sure to kill him myself, this will be the last time he steps his filthy foot into this mansion(Then she laughed out devilishly). She went to her room, searched under her bed and removed a little bottle. She stared at the bottle for a while and smiled slightly, she hid it in her dress, then she made her way to the kitchen.

When she went back to the kitchen, the cook was serving the food, she looked for ways to distract the cook

Karma: (talking to the cook) Please leave that alone, I'll attend to it. We have a visitor, go and get some refreshments for the visitor.

Cook: (Confused) But ma, we got new refreshments just yesterday, I'm very sure that it hasn't finished till now. We can serve that to the guest.

Karma: (Eyed the cook) Who are you to question me?

Cook: (became scared) No ma, I'm sorry

Karma: Do what I say and ask no more questions.

Cook: Yes ma.

Karma: Go now.

When the cook left she opened a small bottle containing a colourless liquid that had a fragrant scent, she poured it into Davis food and covered it. Then she went to the sitting room like nothing happened.

When she came to the sitting room, she pretended to be shocked to see him. He wasn't moved by the act.

Karma: (pretend to be shocked) who am I seeing here? Davis, it's you? We have missed you a lot. You are finally back after so many days of waiting to see you, you are back. I'm so happy to see you son (she moved to hug him but he pushed her away)

Davis: (disgusted by the act, he stood up from the sofa and faced her) who are you calling son? You wicked witch! Or do you think I don't know what you did ten years ago?

Karma: (was shocked and began to speak in her mind. There's no way he knows what I did) what are you talking about?

Davis: You know what I'm talking about very well, you old viper.

Anthony: (didn't understand what his wife and son was talking about) enough of this, let's have lunch first then we can talk later.

They both eyed each other and walked to the dining table, when the cook came back with refreshments, he served the food for all of them. His step mom was waiting for him to eat his food but he kept on drinking his coffee, if it finished, he will order for more and continue from there. She grew inpatient and asked him

Karma: Won't you eat your food? You just came back and you have been drinking coffee, your stomach will hurt.

Davis: (looked at her and smiled slightly, he began to wonder when she started to worry about him) Hmm, when did you start to worry about me? Is it because I didn't die? So you are trying another means to end me.

Karma: (she was uncomfortable with all this accusations) Stop talking nonsense and just eat your food.

Anthony: (surprised that Davis was accusing his step mom of killing him) stop making such accusations Davis, it doesn't make sense and your step mom will never do that to you.

Davis: Oh really dad, I can see that you now know your wife better than I who spent sixteen years of my life with her. And what did she do with it, she has been planning and skimming all this while on how to end my life so that I won't get what is rightfully mine.

Karma: (he was still talking when she silenced him) Shut up! Just shut up! What are you saying? Can you even hear yourself?

Davis: Karma, I'm no longer that ten years old boy you always told to shut up, I'm now a grown man and I can say what I want and do what I want.
