My Dominating Apollo

CLARISSA’S POV:-

“Mother?” I whispered,

Romulus’s mother is here, that means he was talking about Apollo? I had so many questions running in my mind, why would Apollo be far from his own mother? Why did she call Romulus instead of Apollo? If she wanted them to visit, she should have called both, but she just called Romulus and asked to bring Apollo with him, that only meant Apollo is not in talking terms with his mother.

But why? This family is way more mysterious than I thought!

As I was lost in thoughts, I had heard footsteps coming towards me, I was about to turn, “Clarissa?” Romulus called,

Shit!

I slowly turned around, “Romulus!” I said, looking at him nervously, “I’m so sorry I overheard your conversation!” I said without making eyes contact with him.

“It’s okay,” he replied, I looked up at him and saw him struggling to say something!

“Romulus!” I said,

“Huh!” he replied, looking at me.

“Is everything alright?” I asked,

“Yes, I actually need a favor from you!” he said looking at me.

“What is it?” I asked,

“I need your help… in convincing my brother to… attend the dinner, my mother wants him to attend it, as you know he hates my father even though he works for him… he never had come home to meet our mom and never attended family dinners… because of my father’s condition she thinks he would be happy to see whole family in dinner,” He said,

My help! Oh god!

“Romulus…I…” I tried to tell him that I can’t help him,

“Don’t say no, Clarissa, you are the only person who can talk to him without making him angry, for sake of my father we need to talk to him and you know he won’t listen to me…” he said, pleading me with his eyes.

How will I convince him?

“Okay,” I said, he helped me many times and I should also help him in anyway, this can be my way of thanking him for his help.

Hearing my words, a smile appeared on his face, which reminded of Apollo, they looked similar and identical.

“Thank you so much,” he said with a genuine smile on his lips, I smiled at him in a reply.

“so…How are we going to talk to him,” I asked,

He looked at me, “I don’t know! Mother and Apollo hadn’t talked for years… I don’t know if he agrees to attend the family dinner,” he said with a sad expression on his face.

They didn’t talk for years? But Why?

“Can I ask Why? What happened between them?” I asked, maybe this can be related to the personality disorder Apollo hold. Cyrus hates his dad and if I’m right he hates his father for cheating on his mother and to take the anger he’s been targeting his father’s mistresses because he can’t do anything to his father.

I just need more information about their family, then only I can help Apollo to recover from this disorder.

He looked for a while with a calculating look on his face, I know what’s going on in his mind! He might be thinking whether to tell me or not because this is about his family and Villin’s has been secretive they don’t share anything about their family with outsiders and even though I know about this brother’s personality disorder I doubt he would say about this.

“Apollo had a problem with our mother since his childhood, he loves mom but he doesn’t like the way she accepts father’s mistakes… he hates to see mom hurt by our father’s actions and still stay quiet about it… he know father had affairs from childhood and wants mom to fight back but…mom is not the way he wants her to be… she has been quiet all this while because she loves him and somewhere in her heart she still believes that he may change… but father….” He said,

“I could understand his pain as I know how it feels to see our mother in pain, crying because of something our father did,” I said in a low voice.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

My mother’s struggle when she found out about my father’s affair has flashed in front of my eyes and tears rolled in my eyes, “I’m familiar with the feeling,” I said looking up at him,

“My father cheated on my mom and divorced her,” I said while those moments flashed in front of my eye. I still remember my mother crying and asking him why? why he did this to her!

“Where is Apollo right now?” I asked, wiping my tears.

“He’s not here maybe he’s at work,” Romulus replied.

“Wait let me call him, maybe he wasn’t informed about your father!” I said while pulling my phone out.

“He knew about father!” he said making me stop what I was doing, I turn to him, “He knew… still he didn’t come to visit!” I said looking at him.

He deeply signed while shaking his head, “I will call him,” I said and began dialling his number.

What’s wrong with him, he may hate his father for what he has done to his mom but he’s not well, as a son he must be here… with him… Mathew loves Apollo, I could see the love he has for Apollo in his eyes.

As I placed my phone to my ear and waited for him to pick u the call, he picked up after a few rings.

“Hello” his deep voice came out making my body shudder.

“Apollo?” I replied, nervousness instantly flooded through my body as I heard his voice.

“Clarissa?” he asked,

“Yes, Actually I called because I…I need…to talk to you…” I said while looking back at Romulus, who was looking at me with curiosity evident in his eyes.

“What is it? Are you okay?” He asked,

“I’m okay! Can you come home, It’s something urgent?” I said,

Say okay! Please say okay!

“Okay, I will be there shortly,” he said,

Huh, thank god!

“Thank you, I’ll be waiting for you!” I replied,

“Okay,” he answered back and hung up on me.

I turned towards Romulus and smiled, “he’s coming, we need to go home right now,” I said.

He nodded his head while turned back, “Let’s go” he said, I followed him.

We walked to the parking lot and got inside his car, as he drove us from the hospital my mind began flashing all the possible scenarios of us talking with Apollo. I just hope he says okay and I just hope Cyrus don’t pop out. I can’t handle him after what I saw that day. He is downright psycho and would kill me if he comes out.

He would drag me to the basement and torture me for even thinking that I could convince him but I must be strong and shouldn’t show any kind of fear if he comes out. As Romulus said, he loves to see the fear in his victim’s eyes.

Just be patient and deal with him carefully Clarissa, I told myself.

***

As we reached the mansion, Romulus parked the car in the parking lot and we got out of the car. I looked at him and found him looking at me while closing the car door, ‘Don’t be sacred Clarissa, I’m with you,” he says coming to me, with a smile on his face.

God! Please let him be calm while I talk, I don’t know what will I do if Cyrus comes out.
