Chapter 58 ~ A Family In Peril

Isabella was the first mother in the world who was about to feed her estranged daughter cocaine on a silver tray.

She made sure to lock the safe with the correct number combination and walked towards her bedroom. Kamilah sat on the bed, leaning against the headrest and watching the scenic view that Paris offered.

"Kate," Isabella called out as she insisted being her name.

It's been a week since she brought her here in her Paris apartment but a nurse and Saeed were the one taking care and talking to her. Isabella kept her distance like the man she fully trusted advised.

"I'm not really sure what to call you but it will definitely not be mother."

"Call me Ms. Grayson; it should be the easiest for you."

"Okay," she replied, eyeing the tray in her hand and the smile that formed at her lips. Saeed was right, her face shone with happiness only when she sees this life destroying product. Food, branded clothes, booze or even her biological parent has no effect on this girl.

Maybe this was God way of punishing them.

"It's the same dose that Doctor Martin offers you every day."

"It's not enough, you know, I crave for drug like a vampire would for blood. You're old; you might not understand the teen craze I'm talking about."

Isabella, trying not to feel offended, sat on the edge of the bed, placing the tray between them.

"I understand but you see even though your father has been selling drugs for so many years, I've never met anyone who is addicted to drugs. Kate, you need to be in control. The doctor told me or there will be consequences."

"Like death, whatever, I just want to meet my father," she said.

"No, he is the last person you should see. I'm already offering you what your body desires despite fully aware it will cause nothing but ruination."

"He would understand me better than you do. Okay if he is a dealer, he'll know how much exactly I should take and if my father really loves me, he will give it to me."

That's exactly what Isabella was worried about. Zaid has known nothing than earning illegal money from the helplessness of drug addicts.

Isabella startled when Kate placed her hand on hers. "Please mom, he will understand me," she said, using a weakness trying to butter her up.

"No Kate, he will destroy your life like he did to me, he is a dangerous man with endless enemies. Akil Omar is your father's sworn enemy and look what he did to you."

Kate giggled until tears gathered at the corner of her eyes.

"Mom, Akil slapped me the day he caught me sniffing coke in my bedroom. He grounded me, snatched my phone etc. I pretended to be good so I could have my freedom again. But I stole from our neighbour to buy more cocaine and that's when he put me in Loren Mental Health Association. To your relief, he never gave me drugs. I took it from peer pressure. Like me, my friends are either out there on the road buying more or in centers to cleanse their body."

Isabella couldn't believe Akil's compliment from her mouth.

"Akil is a bad man."

"Well he was the perfect father in my eyes. I was the naughty child and maybe so is my real father, I mean mafia, gang leader, and boss of the underworld, how cool and toxic is that and you are the Queen of the Seven League. That makes me Princess of the Seven League."

Isabella shook her head at her daughter's newfound excitement.

"No, you will never be associated with Seven League and I'm no longer its Queen."
