Judas kiss novel Chapter 42

"More cake!!" One of the little kids at Leo's party pestered Mila. She gave an exaggerated sigh. Her mood had been ruined, her entire day had been ruined.

"Hey, are you okay?" Della asked her friend who had a sour look on her face. Before Mila could respond, she had one question.

"What is Molinero doing here?" She questioned.

"Well, Garreth asked me to add him onto the list. He is new in the city and hardly knows anyone-"

"Right.." Mila nodded, rolling her eyes. She didn't want to alarm her best friend so she decided not to say anything.

"I know you guys slept together-"

"No, Della it's alright." Mila assured her friend but what she really wanted to ask was how Garreth and Alfredo knew each other. Was she right all along, is Garreth part of the mafia? Just like Alfredo. Something was really fishy, she turned to look at Garreth who was talking to Spencer and Alfredo.

Mila gasped.

"God, please not Spencer too."?She whispered under her breath as it finally dawned onto her. Della was really starting to like a guy besides her asshole husband and now the second perfect guy seems to have ties with Garreth. Alright maybe she was freaking out, just because Alfredo was a mafia Don, it doesn't mean Garreth and Spencer are.

"You seem a little flustered?"

"We're not friends Marcela!!" Mila spat at the woman who had her makeup, heavily done.

"You're in such a sour mood." Marcela replied in Spanish.

"I don't know what you're really doing here but if you hurt Della and Leo, you will have me to answer to."

Marcela only laughed at this.

"You have no idea what you're talking about, little girl. You need to get laid, you need to find a man and stop clinging onto my daughter just because she suddenly has a rich father."

"That's the problem with you Marcela." Mila chuckled. "You think everyone is like you?"

"Like me?"

"Yes like you! You think the world revolves around getting a 'man' well not just a man but a rich man. You cling onto anything and anyone with money and a reputation. Is that why you're here today? Have you even apologized to your daughter or you think bringing your son here is an apology enough. I feel sorry for you because you will never have a mother-daughter relationship with Della. That ship has sailed, it's too late she doesn't need you. Go play family with your rich husband thanks."

This honestly hurt Marcela.

For the first time, she was speechless. Giving Mila a chance to walk away.

Deep down, Marcela knew that Della didn't need her anymore.

"Marcela..."

That voice.

"Ja- Garreth, I'm not here for you." Marcela replied attempting to walk away but Garreth held her hand. It was undeniable that she hated him so much because she will always feel something for this psychopath. He was after all her first love.

"I know, just thought I would greet you." Garreth said softly. She couldn't deny that he looked handsome, he always did. She didn't know why she was thinking about him in this manor. She had a husband who adored her. She couldn't be thinking like this.

"Oh alright." She replied, clearly provoked.

"She is beautiful isn't she, our gem." Garreth said finishing his whiskey in one go. As they both stared from a distance, staring at Della who was talking to Leo about something.

"She is." Marcela replied.

"But you have a family now so you can just forget about Della and I." Garreth said softly. "I know I'm the reason why Della had to suffer at your hands."

Marcela almost chocked on her wine.

"You're wicked Marcela. You're beyond deleterious. Della had a son and the father turned out to be an arsehole but you don't see her taking out all her anger on that innocent little boy."

"That's very rich coming from a killer." Marcela said defending herself but truthfully, she felt unwelcome. It's as if she didn't deserve to be here, she didn't-

Leo didn't even know who she was.

"I would never treat my own child that way even if the mother turned out to be a bitch." Garreth gave Marcela a smile.
