My Ex Mafia
Chapter 16

Nicole

It was the middle of the night when I heard a loud knock on the door. I woke up and found his arm wrapped around me tightly, as if he was afraid to let me go.

He was still fast asleep and I won't lie, I missed moments like this but I wasn't supposed to. The knock on the door continued and it made me get out of bed to check out who it was. Who would be knocking so late at night.

I opened the door to find a stunning blonde in a silky night attire standing on the other side of the door. "finally, I thought you'd never-you're not Sylvester" she cut herself off as she looked at me. "clearly" I answered annoyed at the disturbance.

She was beautiful and her body was even better, I felt a spark of rage in my body as she moved passed me and into Sylvesters bedroom. She looked at him sleeping and then back at me with a confused look. "so you two slept together?" she asked and I felt flustered.
"no, no we didn't" I said with not as much confidence as I intended.
"so you're in his clothes because?" she implied and I looked down to see that I was indeed in his clothes.

I didn't put them on that's for certain, someone must of changed me out of my original clothes while I was sleeping.
"I don't know Uhm who are you?"
"Victoria, I'm Sylvesters girlfriend and you are?"

Girlfriend, girl-friend, girl-Fri-end. He had a girlfriend, why am I not surprised, he had a super model girlfriend, ten times better looking than me, perfect body, perfect everything.

I took a look at Sylvester as he was fiddling in bed as if something was wrong or missing "mmmm Nicole come back to bed" he mumbled in between the sheets and I was disgusted.
He had a girlfriend this whole time and I had no idea.
It's not like it was any of my business but a little heads up from anyone would have been appreciated.
He sat up and looked at me and then at Victoria. "Victoria what are you doing here?" his question was aggressive as if he didn't want her here, if that was true then i wasn't alone.

"well I missed you baby, so I wanted to surprise you after last night" she said not breaking her eyes on me.
"i told you, you're not allowed here uninvited"

Was this who he was, a womanizer who could just talk to people any way he wanted. Yes I didn't like Victoria but that seemed a little harsh even for him.

"well as much as I don't enjoy this, I'm leaving"  I said and left. "Nicole wait!" he came after me and left Victoria alone in his room.

I walked into the kitchen and felt a hand grip my wrist but I pulled away fast and roughly. "Don't touch me! I don't want you to touch me, I don't want anyone to touch me!" I was jumpy from the earlier incident.
I felt vulnerable and violated even though nothing extreme happened, something could of happened and that's what haunts me. "I'm sorry, how are you feeling?" he asked in a soft voice trying to come off as comforting.

"how am I feeling? How am I feeling?! I almost got raped! I was kidnapped in brawed daylight and almost got raped... A man was killed ontop of me!" I yelled at him as this was his fault, it was all his fault.

"but you didn't get raped that's the good thing" he reached his hand to grab mine but I stepped away.

"don't try and touch me Sylvester! "
"are you okay? "
"no I am not okay Sylvester, I almost got raped!"
"but you didn't, I wouldn't of let that happen to you"
"and whose fault is that Sylvester?!"

He was silent, I had no intention in arguing tonight but I was so frustrated. "whose fault is it Sylvester? Whose fault is it, who is the reason why I almost got raped , why I got kidnapped and sedated in fucking daylight!" he had no response and I was upset.
"I want to go home"
"no. "
"and why not?! I want to go home."
"it's too dangerous, I need you here where I can protect you" his tone was relaxed as he tried his best not to raise his voice. "I'm not staying here with you and your whore girlfriend , I want to go home Sylvester and I want to go now" my voice was shaky as I tried to pull myself together. "Victoria is not my girlfriend and I said no, I'm not debating  this."

I was relieved to know that she wasn't his girlfriend but that didn't mean I wanted to stay in this house with him. "you can't tell me what to do Sylvester!" I yelled, he moved around the kitchen and made himself a cup of coffee. "do you want some?" he offered clearly ignoring my retaliation.
"Sylvester I'm leaving" I placed my hands on the kitchen table and took a deep breath in. "I'll take that as a no to the coffee then." he said and grabbed a single cup of coffee before sitting down in the kitchen.

I knew my way around this house so I walked to one of the drawers and grabbed the car keys. I had enough of Sylvester blocking me out. The moment he heard the sound of keys he stood up and grabbed my hands with one of his and I froze. "I said no Nicole." his breathe was warm as we stood inches apart from each other, I dropped the keys on the table and he slowly placed our hands down.

He stared into my eyes and so did I. He placed his forehead on mine as he steadied his breathing. I felt safe and all the anger in my body suddenly disappeared. "it's not safe for you out there, I need you to stay here with me for a while okay?" he asked calmly but in a soft tone, our eyes were closed and our lips were just inches away. "Nicole tell me that you'll stay here, I need you to say it" words couldn't form so I just nodded my head slowly.

He released my arms and I didn't know what to do now. His hands reached my face as he took a little step closer to my body. I could feel the hesitation in his movement as if he was afraid to hurt me or make the wrong move so we just stood their in silence.

"I'm leaving now Sully!" an annoying voice yelled as we separated from each other. It was Victoria, she did it on purpose.

She walked passed us and left, leaving Sylvester and I alone once again. "I'm going to sleep in the guest room" I let out and he didn't speak. I couldn't let go of the feeling of guilt that I had, a man died today because of me and I'm here sharing moments with my ex who most likely shot that man to save me.

He was wrong to be ontop of me but the feeling of his blood being on me, literally and mentally was all that I needed to stay awake, leaving me to stare at the ceiling. I wanted to think about the moment that I shared with Sylvester but I couldn't, not with the guilt on my conscience and now I am being forced to stay in Sylvesters mansion of a home because I am no longer safe because of him.

I became a mafia target and had no idea why until today, I had no idea that people were going to hurt me just to get under Sylvester skin but I knew it wouldn't be the last time.
