ALPHA SNIPY– A VALIANT MAFIA LORD

We entered the house and my step mum’s twin wasn’t in the entry room.

“Where is your step mum’s twin?” Declan asked getting himself an eye roll from me.

“How can you be asking me that? Are we not just coming in? Go and check in her room cause she might be sleeping.”

He bobbed his head and walked out but came back seconds later with a frowned face.

“Where is she? And why are you frowning?”

“She’s not in this house mistress. I’m afraid that that twin just ran away.”

“What are you talking about? Mira, where is my visitor?”

“She asked for access to leave Lord Snipy.”

“And what did you do?”

“I granted her wish Lord Snipy.”

“What! Why will you grant her such a request when I didn’t approve of it?”

“I’m sorry Lord Snipy. But it was your instruction. I only followed your instructions.”

“Shut the fuck up. Gosh! Just get lost!”

“Don’t blame the poor thing mistress. I told you she wasn’t to be trusted. ho knows where she will be now. Perhaps exposing us to her twin.”

“I still believe that she will not do anything to harm us Declan. I just know it.”

“How can you be so sure? She left without your permission and might take this opportunity to reconcile with her twin by telling her the truth and you’re here saying you just know it. What are you asserting mistress?”

“Might Declan. Might. She might have left cause she started feeling scared. I just trust her and know she won’t hurt us. There is no need to panic. Let’s wait till she’s back.”

“Let’s just hope it goes as you just said it mistress cause if she dares expose us I’ll feed her torso to the birds of the air.”

“I’m tired Declan. Can I rest now?”

“You can do anything you wish mistress. You’re the boss. And please you should eat cause you haven’t eaten food since we lost Dagrin and came down here. All you do is smoke and drink.”

“Not true. I take junk when I feel like it.”

“Junks you didn’t take last night? You should be watching your body. You don’t want to put your health in danger.”

“I’m fine Declan. I just don’t have an appetite for food or anything. How can you discuss food with me when I don’t even know the state of my brother.”

“But he’s alive. Will it be better if we save your brother then you fall ill?”

“In what state Declan. How do I know if he’s out of oxygen? What if he’s still on oxygen?”

“That’s not enough reason not to eat mistress. I’m affected too. I lost my only brother.”

“Your friend actually. You just call him your brother.”

“Dagrin is not my friend mistress but my brother.”

“How? You both said you were friends and met a long time ago. So what are you saying?”

“Come. Let’s sit. We can make this day a tale-filled day while we wait for morning to come. That’s if it’s ok with you.”

“It’s fine. I’ll rest once we are done.”

We settled down and he looked at me with teary eyes.

“Declan. Why are you crying? Please don’t. Tell me everything.”

“I know it might be hard for you to believe because of the initial stories we already told you but we both have the same dad. I’m breaking down right now though I’m doing my best not to.”

“How? What are you talking about?”

? FLASHBACK?

My dad and mum were the typical lovey-dovey couple as rumors and video clips I watched had it. They loved each other so dearly that even when their families refused to give their blessings they ran away and wedded in court.

They lived so happily that all their friends admired them but at a point, their once lovey-dovey story started changing.

It was more than five years since they got married but had no kid.

They went to several hospitals and doctors found nothing wrong with them. Their friends advised them to go to churches but they didn’t believe in Jah and weren’t ready to convert.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Mum started crying every night and in every slightest chance but dad will always be there to calm her until he stopped being there for her and started keeping late nights.

Each time mum raised the issue he always stated only a phrase; “give me a child.”

That short phrase alone broke mum into pieces every time he says it to her.

It was at that point that Dad’s mum started disturbing him for a grandchild but he always shut her out and although he kept late nights he never for once came back with a trace of lipstick or ladies perfume on him which made mum more afraid.

She traced his movements on one of the nights and found out that after work he goes to a club and drinks till it gets late then he comes back. That made her realize he was using the only means he knew to calm himself and she accepted the only thought that came into her head at that moment.

As he came back that night she made him an offer.

“What offer?” I asked fixing my gaze keenly on him while fiddling with my fingers.

He sighed. “She told him to marry her friend just for a child but he bluntly refused. He also stopped keeping late nights and started behaving how he used to when they were newly married realizing that he must have hurt her so much for her to wish for such.”

“So what happened?”

“Mum kept disturbing him that a child from her friend is hers too and after several persuasion from her he accepted.”

“After he got married to mum’s friend and slept with her they got to find out that mum was a week pregnant and they never knew all this while.”

“What!”

“Yea. After a week of dad’s new wedding, Mum’s friend got pregnant too and the baby she gave birth to after two weeks of my birth was Dagrin.”

“Wow! And you didn’t even show your tears when we lost him? You didn’t even behave like you lost a blooded bond.”

“That’s why I’m a guy mistress. I cry inwardly for losing my only brother. He was the only family I had.”

“What do you mean?”

He sighed and ruffled his head once more. “On me and Dagrin’s 18th birthday party, Dad, mum, and Dagrin’s mum were all murdered. We were lucky to escape and it made us train and become who we are but hardly tell people we are siblings. A decision we took just so one won’t be used as a weapon to taunt the other just like your step mum is taunting you.”

“So your father, mum, and step mum lived in harmony without problems?”

“I loved Dagrin’s mum more than my mum. And so goes to Dagrin. He loved my mum more than his. I hope this answers your question.”

“What information are you trying to pass? That all step mums are not evil as mine?”

“90% are just like your mum. The remaining 10% which are rare are like my mum’s friend.”

“Hmm. I’m sorry to say this but I’ll never love any step mum. They are all just wicked.”

“One day. Once all this anger you feel is all gone, you will see things anew.”

“Never. Forget about that. About their murderers, have you both had your revenge?”

“Nope. We’ve been making plans for it and we were almost done but now Dagrin is no more.”

“Does that mean you wanna give up?”

“I don’t know mistress. I just feel weak.”

“You will surely have your revenge once we are done with the one at hand. I promise.”

“Ok mistress. Are you still telling me about your remaining stories? The day is still fresh.”

“I will. Let me freshen up. My body feels heavy. I’ll join you soon.”

“Okay. I’ll be waiting, mistress.”
