Love In The Mafia (book 1)

Chapter 44

Jasmine's pov*

I got up from my knees and stood in front of Marco. His color was slowly coming back but he looked tired and hurt.

"I thought you didn't want me to go on that mission." I didn't say it as a question but he answered anyway.

"I dont. I cant protect you out there with them but I also cant keep pretending that they aren't a threat. They want you and they won't stop until they get you. And right now is the perfect time because they all think that we are broken up. They also know that you have been living with me for the past year so they know that you know every inch of this house and all the passcodes to get in to our buildings."

"When am I leaving?"

"In a two days. We are going over the plan tomorrow and then your going to go train. You will have someone going with you to be my eyes and ears."

"Why cant I just be your eyes and ears?"

"Because baby you already are going to be followed and they will probably take everything from you or have some kind of listening device on you or around you and you cant be caught or you will be dead faster than we can get back to you. Valerie will be coming with you, I have seen that she is good back up in case something or someone was to attack. Valerie will also be training with you as will I be. Now please can we go to bed?" A smile appeared on my face as he was talking. I helped him up and took him into the bedroom. I helped him change into shorts and then get into bed. He held the blankets up for me to get inside them next to him. I was as careful as cold be but I heard the quiet deep breaths in everytime I moved. He laid his head on my chest and after 5 minutes he was asleep. I dont know how long it was until I fell asleep too.

"Hi mama!" I child said running I on my arms. I dont know why but I picked the child up and twirled her around before taking a seat on the ground in the empty void. Blackness all around me and nothing else beside me and the child.

"You dont know who I am do you?" The child asked softly. Before I could answer the child said, "that's okay if you don't remember, I'm Caelum, your soon to be daughter."

"Soon to be?" I had a look of worry on my face that only seemed to make the child sad.

The child turned away and started to run the opposite direction of me and I found myself getting up and running after her. Caelum must have tripped and fell because once I finally caught up to her she was on the floor crying. I swiped her up and had her in my arms. I tried rocking her and telling her that it's going to be okay and that I was sorry.

"I'm sorry Caelum. I didn't mean any harm in what I said. I'm just not ready yet. That's all."

She wiped her face before she stopped crying.

"Its not you mama. Its the others. They are laughing at me because I fell. I'm dont deserve to be a normal kid. I cant even walk right." tears were running down her face.

"Wanna know what my mom always said to me when I would fall? Your a Giancarlo Bianchi and us Giancarlo Bianchi are strong and we get back up again. Now next time those kids are laughing at you, you tell them that your strong and that you deserve to live a happy life. And if they still keep going then put them in their place and tell them exactly all the reasons you will always be one above them."

A smile spread across her face and he face lit up but then after a moment it disappeared.

"Your leaving."

"What do you mean I'm leaving?"

"My dad your leaving him. "

"I would never leave Marco." I said with a worried face.

"But yet your still going." I didn't know what she was talking about. I was only leaving Marco for the mission but that would only be a couple days or weeks not forever and by the face she gave me it looked as if I was leaving forever.

"What do you mean? " I asked finally. She shook her head and then laid it against my chest.

"It doesn't matter, I'll see you again. We will see you again." After her words were finished everything disappeared including her. My heart felt empty and  all there was, was blackness and it was cold.
