Love In The Mafia (book 1)

chapter 9

Jasmine's pov*
"Mother." Marco said to the woman that was in front of us. He's grip on my waist tightened when she spoke.

"My son, oh how I've missed you." She looked like she was full of joy but Marco on the other hand didn't.

"And who is this lovely Woman?"

"I'm Jasmine." I offered her my hand and she looked at it and shook her head.

"Oh darling, your family no need for a handshake. We hug family." she pulled me into a hug but I didn't hug her back.

"Mother, I'm glad to see that you made it." Marco didn't smile.

"Marco its my event so of course I made it. Marco you can be mad at me all you want but I'm your mother and that won't change." Marco just rolled his eyes at what she said.

"Jasmine I have heard tons about you dear. Marco says your different. I hope I can one day call you daughter, I know that your mother left you at an early age."

"Mother!" Marco looked at me with concern but I couldn't say anything, I couldn't move, all I could do is stand there with shook.

"Lets go, Jasmine. I have something to show you." Marco pulled me away. We walked through the crowd to find Layla, who was at the bar.

"Layla, mother is here."

"Really? Damn I really thought that she wouldn't come."

"Yeah me too, but she's here."

"Hey bartender, over here!" I needed to drink something stronger than wine.

"Yes madam?"

" Ill have a Sunset Rum, please. " he nodded and walked away. Marco and Layla were starting at me.

"What I can't drink or something?"

"No you can but why such a strong drink?" I knew that Marco knew but Layla didn't and I really didn't want to tell her.The bartender handed me my drink and I threw my head back and drank it all in one drink.

"Another one miss?"

"Yes"

"No" Marco said to the bartender and he nodded, he looked scared at Marco.

"Hey! What the hell?"

"You want to drink? Then lets go home and drink but your not drinking here."

"Buzz tuer. Then lets go." (Buzz kill)

"Okay. Head out to the car I'll met you there."

"Fine but I'm getting a drink to go." I rolled my eyes and called the bartender over and got a drink to go, well actually I got three but Marco was already gone with Layla talking to some people, what he didn't know can't hurt him. I headed out and the air was cold but it felt nice.

"Oh look just the person I was looking for!" The first man said.

"I know right! It makes are job so much easier." the second man said. I couldn't see them I looked around but it was to dark to see anyone. Then someone's hand went are my neck from behind me, I tried to move I tried to get my gun or knife but my dress was to fucking big to do anything. I couldn't breathe much because of his hand squeezing my throat, and i could scream either, slowly I lost consciousness.

Marco's pov*
I had some business to do still so I had Jasmine go and wait for me in the car. I know what my mother said threw her off, but I couldn't let her drink her body weight here, there's to many men that will try and take advantage of her here but at home she can get as drunk as she wants. I finished up my business and said goodbye to my sister, she was just gonna call another driver for herself and Carol, I said goodbye to my mother who I hoped would go back to the safe house in New Orleans. I walked to the door and it was opened for me but something didn't feel right, it felt like I was missing something. I walked to the car and hopped in, I looked around and didn't see anyone in it besides the driver.

"Where the hell is she?!"

"Where is who, sir?"

"Where the hell is Jasmine!? I told her to come out here and wait for me!"

"Sir, no one got in here."

"Shit! Then where the hell is she?!"

"Sir, I have no idea." I grabbed the driver's throat in anger. His eyes went wide and his hands were at mine trying to get me to release his throat. Then a hand touch my shoulder and I let go and turn around, it was my mother.

"I'm so sorry sir for my son's actions. You'll have a little bonus in your bank tonight." I glared at her, my mom pissed me off even more. She told me that I should just kill Jasmine because all she would do is ruin things but I said that she should stay out of it.

"What the hell is wrong with you!?" My mom yelled from out side the car. I stepped out and walked pass her to go inside to see where Jasmine had went off to.

"Who are you looking for Marco!" my mother yelled from behind me, following me inside.

"Damn it mother I'm looking for Jasmine! I told her to wait in the car for me but she's not there!"

"Calm down Marco! " I stopped walking and turned around to look at my mom. I was so anger, I just wanted to kill someone.

"Don't tell me to calm down Mother! Jasmine isn't in the car and I seen her go outside! I need to find her!" My mother nodded and took me into a hug.

"Oh look at that looks  The Marco Giancarlo Bianchi lost his little toy!" the man laughed, I took a closer look to see it was Jasmine's father.

"Your daughter is missing and your laughing?" my mother said in a calm voice.

"She's a disgrace! She deserves everything that's coming !" that was my last straw, I took long strides to him and grabbed his throat.

"oh what was that? I couldnt hear you! Not so confident are you now?! Where is she?!" A smile appeared on his face.

"Marco you can't kill me, if you kill me the Jasmine will never forgive you!"

"Or she'll thank me."

"Are you really willing to take that chance?" he chuckled

"Yes!" his smile faded and one appeared on my face. I let go of his throat and before he could run I pulled out my gun and shot him right between the eyes, his body dropped with a thud.
