Chapter 21 Gunshot
Mavis’s heart was thudding violently as she stood by the door and watched as this strange man sat on her couch, pointing a gun at Blaine. She wondered if she should run through the front door but feared what he would do to her siblings and her friends so she just stood there and decided to comply with whatever demands he makes.
” Pedro, let her go inside at least” she heard Blaine say and turned to look at Blaine. Just looking at Blaine and Pedro made her realize that they did indeed look alike.
And what was that about him duping their father and running away with the money? Did he really think London or LA would be the perfect place for him to hide after stealing from his father and his clearly psychotic brother?
” Why? Cause she’s carrying you, child?” Pedro asked, never putting the gun away.
” How do you even know that?”
” I have my ways. You’d know that if you were still with us.” He bragged and brought out a cigarette from his pocket before lighting it and immediately grabbing the gun, signaling Mavis to sit beside Blaine.
” Look at the both of you. You look amazing together. She would’ve been a better woman than that whore Victoria” Pedro said before he blew the smoke all over their faces. Blaine didn’t have time for any of this. He knew Pedro. Sure he could kill any of them – including himself if he was crazy enough to but he clearly wasn’t going to do that because this time he came here for something, something that Blaine was sure Pedro considered more important than killing him.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
” Pedro, why don’t you just tell me what you want? Is it money?”
Pedro scoffed and pulled on the gold chain on his neck. ” Are you kidding yourself? Isn’t your whole business almost in ruins because of Victoria? Please, you couldn’t afford a single thing if I asked you to” he taunted.
” Besides, immediately after you left us we hit a jackpot and became millionaires too so… you don’t have to worry about me kind Sir”
” Then what do you want?!”
” Are you fucking yelling at me? Do you want to die?” Pedro growled and pointed the gun at Blaine but Blaine wasn’t even moved by that action.
” You’ve been shoving that gun in my face all day, if you want to use it, use it”
” Blaine!” Mavis cautioned, nudging his side with her elbows but Blaine was unapologetic still.
” You’re not scared of being shot I see, but she is,” Pedro said directing the gun at Mavis.
” Just say what you want and leave Pedro”
” Fine, you’re so BORING. Sheesh!” Pedro said before he put the gun down and sighed, running his hands through his hair.
” Dad wants you back” he mumbled, regretting that he was the one his father had sent to get Blaine back.
” I’m sorry what was that?” Blaine asked.
” I said that Papa wants you back to the team and you have until this weekend to come!” He barked this time and scowled.
” I can’t just go back to that life anymore Pedro. I’m a businessman now, a husband and a father”
” I think you’re only one of those things you mentioned,” Pedro said dryly.
” What? Why are you looking at me?” He asked, looking at Mavis who was already getting very upset.
” I need to throw up… I’m still experiencing morning sickness and your cigarette is really not helping.” Mavis said angrily, unable to contain her anger anymore. All this was Blaine’s fault! – she thought to herself. Why did he have to be a part of some weird mafia gang and involve herself and their unborn child in the process? It was so unfair!
” Oh really? You need to puke? That’s pretty gross but when it comes just puke on him. He deserves it you know.” Pedro said, smiling when he saw the way Mavis scowled at Blaine because of his suggestion.
” Oh, God…” She said, closing her mouth with her palms as her face turned red. Blaine became so worried about her, he didn’t want her to soil her dress so he started to take off his jacket only for him to feel the coldness of the gun on his head.
” What’s your problem Pedro, let me give her my jacket so she can vomit in it.”
” I know what you’re doing Miguel, it won’t work.”
” Whatever you THINK I’m doing you can stop thinking it because I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
” Liar, once a stealthy bastard always a stealthy bastard”
” What the hell is this guy doing with a gun!” They suddenly heard Luke say the second he saw Pedro and the next thing they all heard was the sound of the gun being shot and Luke groaning in pain.
