Mafia Made Love (BWWM) (18+)

MML: Chapter XLII

Maximiliano's POV
"Dammit! What does she see in him?!"

"Calm down bro- She's probably just trying to get you off her mind. She hasn't dated anyone since you 'died' so all these dates are most likely just a distraction." If you haven't realised it, I'm spying on the mother of my children with my brother. This is the fourth date she's been on since she discovered I was still alive and it's pissing me off.

"I'm going in there." I said stoically.

"Are you insane? She will get mad and trust me when I say we don't want that." Elia frantically said with fear in his eyes.

"I'm not afraid of my wife." I said with a straight face.

"Well I am. Her temper went off the rails after she thought you were dead, plus she's barely forgiven me for knowing you were alive. What do you think she'll do if she finds out I'm helping you spy on her? Furthermore, you should be at work. You're literally the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company, you would think that you wouldn't have the time to spy on people." Elia remarked cattily.

"Shut the fuck up Elia. Everything I do is for her. I don't even see the company as mine, so if my being here was jeopardising the company I wouldn't be doing it. The company is for my family which is Hannah, Massomiliano, Aemilio and any other kids Hannah gives me in the future." I grumbled in annoyance.

"Alright calm down. I still think we should leave though." Elia sighed.

"No. I'm hungry so let's get something to eat." I said unbuckling my seatbelt.

"Max, she's going to find out we've been spying on her and you're just going to make her resent you more." Elia warned.

I just shrugged. She's mine and that's all there is to it. None of this would even be happening if my mother just locked her front door. Things weren't supposed to go like this but I can never have anything go my way.

"Are you coming or not?" I asked stubbornly.

"I'm coming but I think you should consider telling her the truth about why you didn't let her know you were alive." Elia said as we got out of my car.

"No. It's better this way even if she resents us, she'll forgive me soon enough and she doesn't have to think about him hurting her." I said. I hate having this conversation with Elia because it feels like I'm constantly repeating myself.

I have a secret and I can't tell the love of my life. When Pace told Hannah I was dead he truly thought me to be so but I wasn't- well technically I died for a couple of minutes but I was able to fight my way back. The doctor Pace gave me to was an absolute psycho, he wanted to experiment on me and was disappointed to find out I was still alive. I stayed with that asshole for like a week, he patched up my gun shot and stab wounds for me. I would have left as soon as I could but I was too weak to go anywhere. Pace then came back to find me alive which is when he told me that, he had already informed my girlfriend and family that I was dead.

I flipped out and smacked the fuck out of him. He didn't even try to save me and to top it off he gave my mother the ashes of some random because he agreed to let Doctor Frankenstein over here experiment on me, which would have meant that my body wouldn't get cremated and he didn't want my family to know that he'd allowed me to be used for an experiment.

Do you know how sick that is?! Like my mother had the ashes of some stranger sitting in her house for over two years, thinking they were mine!

Anyway, I didn't want to but I ended up staying with Aria for a couple of weeks as I recovered. I couldn't be in the same house as Pace at that point. I just wanted to heal a bit and go back to my pregnant wife.
