Mafia Family

33. The Challenge (Edited)

I'm sitting with everyone on the dinner table. I freshen up after everything and stayed in my room for an hour or two. The others also gave me time.

I think and rethink about everything that occurred today. I was scared. I was hurt. Now I was questioning everything.

Did I really do the right thing?
Was it right that I gave them a chance?
Am I a murderer now?

I was finally free from my fear. It's true that I constantly feared that Samuel will wake up and come for me. But was I right killing him?

I made up my mind not to overthink.
I went downstairs when Ethan called me for dinner.

Everyone were proceeding to sit on the table but everyone were silent. Maybe they were also going through after shocks of what happened today.

I sat down with Ryan on my left and Noah on my right.

Ryan served me and then himself and we started eating.

"Are you okay sweety? " Dad asked.

I nod my head for yes but hissed when pain shooted in my neck.

"Ouch" I hissed while holding the side of my neck.

"What happened? " Dad asked concerned.

Everyone were looking at me now.

"I don't know dad but this side of my neck hurt alot." I said.

"Ohh" He said still looking at me.

Suddenly I heard a smack.

I turned my head to the sound and saw how Ethan has smacked Dustin on his head and Twins snickered.

I looked at them confused if I missed something.

"He's the reason for that neck pain." He said glaring at Dustin.

Dustin scratched the back of his neck and was laughing awkwardly.

"But he didn't do anything" I said.

"No Liz, he hit you on the side of the neck to make you unconscious in that warehouse earlier" Ryan said this time.

Again I looked at Dustin with glaring eyes. To be honest, I didn't really remembered what happened exactly as I was already hyperventilating.

"It was t-to bring you home" He justified.

"Still your actions are not justified and I'm angry with you" I said and took a bite of my food.

"Heyyyyy, you can't do this. If I would not have done that then you would have still be there throwing tantrums." He said pointing in my direction.

I opened my mouth in disbelief.

"You know what, I remembered something. We have a basketball game pending. Let's make a deal. Tomorrow we'll have a match and whoever will lose will have to do whatever winner will tell." I said challengingly.

"Sure, but don't go crying to dad or Ryan or Ethan when you'll lose." He said smirking .

"We'll see" I mirrored his expression.

"Yeah, we'll have so much fun watching Eliza lose tomorrow." Twins said teaming up with Dustin which increased his smug expression.

"I trust Liz that she'll beat Dustin's ass tomorrow." This time Ethan said.

"Same here" Noah said.

I looked at them smiling and blew them a kiss.

We all looked at dad and Ryan.
