Chapter 34 - Calling off the engagement

Melvin's POV

A young man with blue eyes and blonde hair approaches us and makes his way over to us. He is dressed in a suit and encircles Alanie with his arms over his shoulders. What's up, Katherine? As I promised you, I won't be bringing a firearm with me to dinner.

Today, when he met her, he was carrying a firearm. Is he completely insane? Katherine mustn't be near this stuff because Michelle is present.

After grabbing her arm, I say something in her ear. "Why didn't you tell me that he had a gun while you were meeting him?"

"I didn't think it was important." She turns her gaze away from me.

It is crucial to me that you meet anybody you do. The last thing I want is for you to put your life in any more danger.

I failed to remember the final part. Hopefully, she won't get any suspicions about me. I want her to investigate things she is unaware of because that is the last thing I need. Should she do so, I am sure that her brothers would take my life.

It is the person holding his hand out for me to shake. Your name is Paul Gotti.

Let me hold his hand. "Melvin Williams."

"I believed that I had recognized you. In that case, when is your next blockbuster going to be released?

It is a great comfort to know that he is aware of who I am. Regarding Paul Gotti, I wish I had a better idea of what to anticipate.

A separate anecdote is told about his sibling.

Quinn Gotti is the kind of guy who doesn't take any shit, and if you were to cross him, he would kill you without a care in the world with no regard for your safety.

One of my arms is wrapped around Katherine. "I'm working on a movie now while I do some modelling on the side for the company that Katherine works for."

After leaving the house, a pair walks over to me hand in hand, and I immediately recognize them as Lydia and Quinn Gotti.

I want to present Quinn and Lydia to you. "This is my fiancé Katherine Walker, and I'm Melvin Williams."

Lydia lets out a squeal. It is a pleasure to meet you in person finally. I want to obtain your autograph.."

I chuckle to myself. "Sure, Sweetheart."

Could you also take a picture of me? The fact that I met a celebrity like yourself is something that my best friend would not believe.

"Don't you meet celebrities all the time with your company?" He inquires of her.

She shrugs. "They're not Melvin Williams."

She gives me a glance and then says, "Kara and I have loved you since your first movie, and we've had a bet about who would meet you first, and I won."

When Quinn smiles, she is easily agitated. Could you please forgive her for the way she behaved?

When Katherine laughs, I was once the same way—up until I met the guy I had a crush on, a celebrity, and discovered that he was a complete and utter jerk. You can't take people at face value when it comes to Melvin, but he doesn't have a single mean bone in his body. This is the reason why I love him.

I move closer and press my lips against hers by leaning very close.

Katherine encircles her arms around my neck and intensifies the kiss she gives me.

She has a flavor similar to strawberry lip gloss.

This is a kiss that I do not want to finish.

Behind us, I hear a throat clearing and notice that Alanie's face is turning red.

Katherine moves away from her sister and glances at her brother. "Is there a problem?"

"Yes," she responded as she approached us while holding Paul's hand. "I don't want to see my sister get stripped on the driveway with my boyfriend's family around."

I had no intention of stripping Katherine in front of people I did not know. She is acting dramatically.

Katherine's eyes roll. "You are going to be held accountable for that remark, sister. I will compensate for what I've done to you when you least expect it.

I can't wait until Katherine makes up for everything she's done to her.

When individuals who are going to confront each other wind up being so embarrassed that they are unable to face each other or anyone else who has been around for a couple of days, they are unable to face each other.

Katherine has been embarrassed by her younger sister numerous times, and I can't tell you how many times I haven't seen her.

And she laughs. "I'm looking forward to it."

Katherine and Alanie act like children, and everyone appears perplexed.

"I'll show you into the house." Quinn leads the way inside the mansion.

We ascended a flight of stairs that led to the entrance of the building.

We proceed inside after Quinn has opened the door for us.

To the left of the door, a double staircase leads to the second story of the home.

While the living area has a fireplace, a chandelier hangs there. The Gotti family has a collection of photographs hung above the fireplace.

While exploring, I come upon a family tree belonging to the Gotti family.

Quinn is positioned close to me. Most of the folks have passed away. Did you know that the boss of the Gotti family, who is a member of the Mafia, does not live past the age of forty on average? In other words, I have sixteen more years left before I pass away. He stares at Lydia in awe. "I'm going to make the most of my life with Lydia."

As the girls continue to converse, I glance at them while crossing my arms. It's impossible to predict how long you can go beyond that. There is a good chance that Katherine will not live for very long.

Quinn stares at Katherine in awe. "Why would you say something like that?" Then, he turns his gaze to Alanie. "We need to talk about this in my office."

As I follow him inside the office, he shuts the door behind him, and I follow him inside.

Quinn is seated behind his desk, which is cluttered with a large number of documents and a computer.

A gun is sitting on the side of the desk, and he notices I am looking at it. "Melvin, I am not going to hurt you. If you continue behaving this way, my family and I will be OK. You have not done anything to hurt us.

I take a seat opposite to him. "Since you're going to be a part of Katherine's family when Paul and Alanie marry, I'm going to tell you what's going on, but I need you to stay out of it as the FBI are a part of it."

As he nods. "Deal," "Michelle, my ex-girlfriend, has murderous intentions toward Katherine." She is under the impression that she poses a risk to our relationship. No matter how often I've tried to end our relationship, she has always cited Katherine's passing.

The man shakes his head. Even though I only briefly encountered Katherine, she will play a significant role in my family. So, when the law is unable to and unwilling to assist you, I will do so. Can I delegate someone to monitor/follow Katherine?

The FBI already has someone following her, and if they find out I spoke to you about it, I am sure I will get into problems. "I would like that, but the FBI already has someone following her." My parents are hosting a party at their home in a few weeks, and during that event, I will officially announce that I am ending my relationship with her. Please have someone follow her and make sure she is safe.

Each of his arms is crossed. "Is there a reason why you'll call the engagement off?"

"Yes, I need to convince Michelle that I still love her and can't live without you."

He laughs, Quinn. The news of the breakup is likely to significantly impact both of you, as you have both developed a strong affection for one another.

Recently, I have been giving that day a lot of thought, and I am not looking forward to it.

Katherine and I are both entitled to happiness, but I have to do whatever it takes to remove Michelle from our lives for good.
