My Ex Mafia
Chapter 28

Rico

Killing Alberto was a bad idea, it will always be a bad idea, but he was too blinded by love that he couldn't see how this would all backfire on him, on all of us, on Nicole.
He claims to be doing this all for her but couldn't see the explosives he was planting in all of our lives. I cared about Nicole, I wanted her to be safe as well. She was like a little sister to me but starting a war was not going or help anyone.

*ringing*

"Hello Mr Santos, I heard your voice mail, what may I help you with? "
It's Sylvester sir, he's about to initiate something that could damage your legacy permanently.

I explained everything to him and why Sylvester was about to do what he wanted. Maybe telling him was a bad idea but maybe it wasn't, I just hoped that in the end their would be a better outcome.

"and you are positive about this?"
Yes
"thank you for telling me, you have always been a great informant, I'll see you all in the morning"

"Alberto Lucchesse isn't the type of man to sit around and hide, he loves showing off and that's his biggest flaw as the Head Lucchesse. He can't resist having the latest and best things, so we can use that against him. In a week I want him dead, if my sources are correct, on Tuesday afternoon he will be driving to his mother's house, it's far away from the city and any civilization. What I need so for three men to be on the outside of the home, and 2 inside. One of my men will drive Alberto to the place and once he's inside we'll take care of him there" I explained the plan to them and they seemed pretty confident, it was a solid plan nothing could go wrong with it and that's what made it perfect.

"so you want us to kill him in front of his mother, doesn't that seem a little harsh?" Rico came in and asked. "she needs to be aware of her son's doings. She knew this day would come one way or another" I hissed at him. I sent the men away and left with Rico as well. "is Nicole okay?" I asked him and he rolled his eyes. "yes, I told her what to do, she's in your room getting cleaned" he said and left.

Ever since the idea of murdering Alberto came into place Rico started acting weirdly, he knew that this day would eventually come so I wondered why he was acting weirdly, I know he'd do the same thing for the person he loved if push came to shove.

I got back to the house and tossed my suit jacket onto the bed, I heard the shower on and knocked on the door. "who is it?" she asked as I heard the water come to a pause. "it's Sylvester, open up"

She opened the door revealing herself in a white towel with her hair still dripping. "did you put the clothes in the bin?" I asked as I pointed at it. "yep" she popped the P and looked a little uncomfortable.
She looked clean and innocent as always. Her skin was flawless and her lips were pink. She was the most innocent girl I had ever met, but the more she was around me I saw a spark of innocence leave her. With every hollow body that touched her I felt angry and upset with myself as they were there because of me.

She had never seen a dead body until she met me, she had never been around around guns until she was with. She had never had dead, lifeless bodies on her until she met me and I felt guilty for every single part of her innocence being taken away from her.
She walked past me as she wrapped another towel around her hair. I walked into the steaming bathroom and grabbed the plastic bag that was inside of the white bin.
I watched her as she was about to leave my room but she stopped midway. "Sully" she said in a shy voice. "Yes?" I asked as I took a step forward. "thank you" she said in a small tone, her head turned as we were about to make eye contact but she stopped and walked away.

I walked downstairs and gave one of the maids the bag to dispose of and went back to my room. It's been a long day, but at least I've dealt with the planning phase. I changed out of my clothes, leaving only my boxers on and got into my cold and empty bed.
I drifted off to sleep for a while until I heard her screaming. I jumped out of bed and grabbed my gun as I ran to her room. I kicked it open to find her curled up in her knees on her bed. "Nicole, are you okay?" I asked as I slowly approached her.

I placed my gun on her bedside table and sat down next to her. "I-I see him...I-I see alll of them" she cried out as she placed her head on my chest. I wrapped my arm around her and wondered who she was talking about. "I had a nightmare...it was, it was so real, they were all after me...they wanted to hurt me, but you killed them all, their blood was on me, they died because of me" she explained her dream to me and I sighed.

This wasn't supposed to happen, all the people in her dream were the people who tried to hurt her, like the guy from the club and the person Alberto sent, the day she got kidnapped. "it's okay Nicole, you're safe now, you're safe with me, it's okay, it'll be over soon, it'll all be over soon" I whispered and kissed her forehead, I pulled the blanket up and rested my head on the pillow behind us. She fell asleep in my arms and so did I.

I wasn't wrong, it was all going to be over soon and I meant it. Nicole would be safe with me and I was going to make sure of it. She just needed to trust me.

Nicole

I woke up to the sun shining on my face. The last thing I remembered was having the worst dream possible and Sylvester walking in to comfort me. I stretched my hands out and felt a hard figure next to me.
I turned to look at him sleeping peacefully besides me. His arms were wrapped around my waist and he had no clothes on. I carefully removed his arms away from me and walked out of the room yawning.
I had my usual pajamas on, a long white t-shirt and nothing else. It was comfortable as I made my way to the kitchen for a cup of coffee. I was exhausted and I felt like complete shit.

"Good morning sleeping beauty, rough night?" Rico asked as he was already drinking his coffee in the kitchen. "had a bad dream, how about you?" I asked as I poured myself a cup and looked at him. "I'm just waiting for Sully, we were supposed to go for a run but he never came down" Rico said as he checked the time. "yeah I don't think he'll be awake anytime soon" I said trying not to laugh. Rico looked at me in confusion. "did you two?" " no, gosh no, nothing like that. I had a bad dream he came to comfort me and I guess he was way more tired than I was" Rico finished his cup and kissed my forehead before leaving.

I drank my coffee and was about to go back to my room to wake up Sylvester when their was a knock on the door. I opened the door to reveal a familiar looking man, but I didn't know from where. "and you are?" I asked as he moved me away from the door and walked in with two suitcases.

"mmmm I thought I told Sylvester not to allow whores in my house" the stranger said as he turned to look at me. I felt insulted. Did this person just call me a whore without even knowing me. "now wait just a second, I am not a-" I was about to go off on him when I was interrupted by Sylvester ad he ran in fixing his clothes. "Papa?"
