My Ex Mafia
Chapter 27

Sylvester

"so are we all up to date on how this will go down?" I asked the men who were sitting infront of me as I explained to them how I needed Albertos rein to end. If all went well then Nicole would be safe and I wouldn't have to deal with Alberto anymore.

"yes boss"
"yes"
"yes sir"

"good, then in less than a week we will need-" I started but was interrupted by a scream. "Rico go handle it" I rolled my eyes, there's always drama in this club with one of the waiters and the men,  I had no time to deal with such, not during this meeting.

Rico got up and walked out of the room and dealt with the issue. "as I was saying, in less than a week we will need-" another interruption accured and I got furious,but this time it was from Rico. "What, now!" I sat up from my chair and glared at him as he rushed back into the room. "It's Nicole, boss" he said making me get up as I pulled my gun off from the holster.

"We're not done discussing boss" one of the men hissed at me as he stood up and grabbed my arm. "we're done when I say we're done, I need to take care of business so if you don't mind, don't touch me and sit back down." the man sat back down and looked a little annoyed.

Rico and I walked out of the VIP section and that's when I saw Nicole face first on the ground with a man ontop of her. " now you're going to be a good girl for me yeah? "the man said as he brought his face down to her ear. Everyone around them just watched as they were scared to get involved with the current scene.

I felt my blood boil as the man rubbed his mingly fingers through her hair, I aimed my gun at the man's head as he didn't notice us step in. I pulled the trigger and he dropped. Everyone around turned to face Rico and I. "The number one rule is, don't touch the staff that aren't in pink, Rico take Nicole to get cleaned up"
I watched Nicole curl herself into a ball away from the body, her breathing was faster and I wanted to  help her but I couldn't. It wasn't my job to take care of her, not now. I needed to focus on the mission and I couldn't get distracted by her because in the end I was doing it for her.

Rico walked over to her and picked her up bridal style. She had blood on her body and she wrapped her arms around him tightly. "Jodi, get someone to clean that mess up" I said before heading back into my meeting. "now where were we" I said sarcastically as I sat back down.

Nicole

I was covered in blood, that didn't belong to me once again. I've had another person get shot right on top of me once more and each time it happened it was because someone was trying to hurt me and each time they get closer to doing anything to me, Sylvester pulls a trigger and saves me, each time he saves me he sends Rico to help me out.
Each time he saves me, I remember why I ran away in the first place. I wasn't prepared for this lifestyle and now I'm stuck in it because there are people out to hurt me.

I was in Ricos arms as we walked back into the office that I woke up in before all of this. He placed me on the couch and walked towards a vault door that was behind a picture. "was that always there?" I asked but he didn't respond.
He opened the door and came back to me, he picked me up once again and we walked through a dark tunnel for a while before walking up some stairs.

So Sylvester had a secret tunnel that ran underneath his house and into his club Whixh I never knew about, for some reason I wasn't as surprised by it.

Rico opened the door and we walked through his main office. "you can put me down now Rico" but still no response, he was ignoring me and I had no idea why. He walked me to Sylvesters room and placed me on his bed. "take a shower, rinse the blood out and then throw the clothes in the white bin" he said without looking at me, he was about to  leave but I stopped him. "Rico look at me, what's going on?" I asked in concern. What was going on. He sighed and moved away from me and headed to the door. "just do what needs to be done Nicole, please" and with that being said he left me alone in Sylvesters room.

I got up and went to the bathroom, I turned the shower on and as I waited for it to heat up I turned to looww at my reflection in the mirror. I had a bruise on the side of my face and had a small lip cut as well. There were small drops of blood slatted on my face but there was more on my stomach.

I stared at myself in the reflection as I slowly removed pieces of the uniform. Working down at the club was only temporary, but for how long would it take for people not to try and hurt me. It was my first day and in less than an hour I managed to get someone killed right on top of me. In less than an hour I needed to be saved once again by Sylvester.

I stepped under the shower and got lost in my thoughts. I tried not to think about the past but I just couldn't help it.

Flashback

"so tell me Mr Gravano what do you for a living?" I asked while I layed my back on his chest as we sat in the bath tub together. It was foamy with bubbles and covered most of my body and his. "I'm a business man love, that's all you need to know" he chuckled as he kissed my forehead. His hands were stretched out of the tub as well were mine.
It felt good and relaxing just to be with him, it was peaceful and it was definitely needed. "come on Sully, what type of business?" I giggled as I kicked my toes out of the water just for fun.

I felt his hands on my shoulders and he turned me around to face me. "what's with all the questions love?" he asked as he stared down at me. I looked away from him and placed my head back on his chest. "nothing, it's just... I feel like I need to know a little more about you, since I'm constantly here and since we've said our, you know -" "I love yous" "yes those, you're constantly out when I wake up and you always leave during the night, I've noticed, maybe you don't want me to know, but I know" I said while playing with my fingers hoping not to make any eye contact with him.

I tried to hide my disappointment as best as I could but I could tell I failed. "Look at me" he said but I ignored him. "Nicole, look at me" he said once more. This time he turned me over to look at him but I kept my head down. He placed his wet and soapy hand on my chin and lifted it up to face him. "you do not have to worry about me okay, I don't leave this house to cheat if that's what you're assuming, trust me I wouldn't do such to you. I just... I think it's best to keep my business life and love life separated from each other okay?" he said in a calm voice making me smile a little.

Maybe I was overreacting and overthinking the situation, he made me feel hopeful and happy and that should be enough. But something inside of me wasn't okay with not knowing him completely, something inside of me constantly told me that he wasn't the man I fell in love with. But if he says it's best for me not to worry then I wouldn't.

Flashback ends

I was knocked back into reality when I heard a knock at the door. "who is it?" I asked as I grabbed a towel and turned off the water. "it's Sylvester, open up"
