"This is his wake up call to realize he doesn't have anyone anymore." Liam took up another plate "Jennifer should also wake up and realize that she's being used."
"She already knows."
"She does?"
"Yep. Luca and I told her but she didn't believe us. She doesn't know that she's just his sex slave."
"He's been sleeping with her?"
"I thought the whole mafia knew that?"
"No. I'm going to see Kylie later."
"Kylie?"
"My girlfriend. We've got a baby boy who a few months old."
"You've got a child?"
"Happened by accident."
"Since when?"
"What is this? 21 questions?"
We both laughed.
"I met Kylie while I was on duty in a street club and we started dating and things got a little heated after a make out session at her house when her parents were out. Well you know...she got pregnant and her parents threw her out so I let her live in my house. She knows about the mafia. I'm usually in it but I send her money and whatever she needs to take care of my boy."
"Tell me you named him something sensible! When we were kids you wanted a boy called Knight and a girl called Princess."
Liam laughed.
"Yes I remembered that. I was silly back then. We name his Luke. Luca knows about him. I think Alex does too."
Suddenly an alarm went off and I dropped the plate I was holding and Royalty came downstairs in a flash.
"What's that?" she asked scared "A fire alarm?"
"No that's an alarm saying that an unregistered vehicle just entered the garage." I told her
Roberto came in.
"Someone's here to see you D." he said
I nodded and followed him out back. A black car was there and a girl ran out the car and flew straight into my arms. She looked up at me and I saw she was crying.
"Neveah!?" Royalty and I asked in surprise
"Xavier's gone and Silivo was killed and Chrissy told me to run so I came here." she blurted out
I woke up to extreme pounding in my head and it was painful. Jennifer finally showed her true colors and had knocked me out with a book while I was kissing her. I tried to open my eyes and realized I was blindfolded and I tried to move my arms and legs and I realized I was sitting and tied up.
Pretty dam good too!
"Aww my poor baby." I heard a voice say and anger rushed through me
"Jennifer." I snarled through gritted teeth
"Are you mad at me baby?" I heard her footsteps coming closer
"Why wouldn't I be?" I shot a question back at her
"You'll thank me later." she began to massage my tensed shoulders
"For what? Kidnapping me after slamming a World history book in my head?"
"I did what was necessary to make you mine."
"Oh fuck off!" I snarled and shook her off me fiercely "I rather die than be with you Jennifer. I don't know why I put up with your stupid games anymore when I knew your trick all along. I should have finished your sorry pussy long ago."
She didn't respond and I soon heard the clicking of a gun and felt cold metal pressed against my temple.
"Don't disrespect me baby." she whispered into my ear "I can kill you anytime I want. I'm just waiting on the boss to make his move then I'm taking you to New York City with me. By then Royalty will be dead and if you keep being so difficult, you'll join her in the grave. If you're good you might see her death; slow and painful."
Damanico's POV
Royalty stared at me intensely as Neveah cried in my arms.
"You've been dating my best friend?" she asked feeling a little hurt "You told me stay away from them but you're dating his sister."
"Royalty, I'm sorry." I apologized to her "I suddenly found myself in love with Veah and I can't help it. Please don't be mad at me, Royalty."
She looked at me and came down the stairs slowly and looked at Neveah who looked back up at her.
"What happened to Xavier?" she asked Neveah
"He's gone." Neveah cried "Jennifer took him and left."
Royalty looked sad and I knew what she was feeling. I pulled her into my arms and she started to cry. Both girls were crying because of one boy who meant the world to them.
Xavier!
Jennifer's POV
Xavier was resistant to me and I began to see his mafia side. He knew my plans all along and what he could have done to me scared me. I knew Xavier had serious anger management problems since he was young and can be violent when he was extremely mad. I was finished cooking pasta and I set a bowl in front of him. I kept him tied and blindfolded on a chair in the living room of my apartment.
"Here." I held up a forkful of sauce covered pasta "I'll feed you."
"I can feed myself Jennifer!" he spat out fiercely
I looked up at him but decided to keep my mouth shut.
"I-I'll untie you if you promise not to run." I struck a bold deal with him
"Do you think I'm that stupid Jennifer?" he asked me harshly "I know you have Cardinal's armed men surrounding the bloody building and I'm unarmed if you haven't noticed!"
He has a point Jennifer.
"Fine then." I got up and went behind him before untying the ropes.
He watched my every move and his eyes locked with mine a few seconds after I untied him. He finally looked away to the spoon besides the plate of food and I let out my breath when he picked it up and started eating. I watched him eat then cleared away the wares while he eyed me intensely.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I turned around and asked him in frustration "Am I really that bad?"
"You kidnapped me." he folded his arms
I rolled my eyes as I packed away the plates.
"You don't love me." I closed the cupboard and turned to look at him "I never understood but now I do."
He raised an eyebrow at me. I let out a deep breath.
"I know everything." I leaned on the counter "I'm being used by Cardinal but I have no choice. I need money to survive."
"Why are you following his instructions then?" he turned away from me and looked up at the plain white ceiling.
"Do I have a choice?"
"Not exactly. Why are you obsessed with me? What does Cardinal want? I know it's not my mafia."
"You're a mafia devil." I said "I know that much from the file I found in your closet."
"What file?" he asked furiously
"The file about you seeing a therapist for a year when u were thirteen to control your anger. You were incredibly violent as a child." I answered a little frightened "I also know that you're going to New York by the next month. The mafia that you have here is just a bunch of people from other mafias helping to cover you while you protect Royalty from Cardinal. You're moving back to New York when all this is over. Your real mafia is there."
He looked at me blankly so I went on.
