The Mafia Boss's Obsession

CHAPTER 9: Freedom For A Day

LIZETTE

Last night I was forced to stop talking with Jameson unfortunately because for some reason, Maloney had to come inside, making me quickly hide the phone underneath my pillow along with the charger right as soon as I heard the bedroom door open. I tried pretending I was trying to fall asleep and hoped that would make him just walk on out-since he has no business being in here in the first place - but no such luck.

"Are you awake?" I heard him ask while feeling the side of the bed next to me sink down as he began to take a seat.

"Yes. But I'm trying to go to sleep." I replied.

"I wanted to discuss several things with you before I left tomorrow,since I'll be gone before you wake up." He begins.

I turned on the lamp light and sat up back against the headboard to look at him.

"Okay." I replied.

"First of all, I wanted to tell you that you were a very good girl at dinner and because you were, here's some money for doing as you were told." He says.

I was shocked and in utter disbelief. Was he high or drunk right now? What is with the random niceness all of a sudden? I then looked down at an expensive crossbody purse by Michael Kors and that I have wanted for a very long time. 

While taking a look inside, he tells me he put $28,000 unmarked bills in the bag in both large and small denominations.

"That was for earlier at dinner and while I am gone for the next few weeks on business.
Things are finally going to be different when I return." He smiles at me in the old kind way he used to when we first met. However, I don't buy it for one second.

This could be a sign though. This could be the chance for me to finally make the perfect escape while he's gone. So right now, I must pretend. I can decide how to escape later - after he leaves.

"Thank you." I replied with a fake yet convincing smile.

"And as for the last thing, here is an extra $5,000." He mentions while pulling out a stack being held together in a rubber band and tossed it onto my lap.

"Thanks." I replied in disbelief still but showed him gratitude so that he didn't question.

"Yes well, it's just small change compared to what is yet to come, baby. When I get back we will talk all about it. Oh and one last thing. The guys I told you I was leaving you here with, remember, they are to be with you at all times no matter where you go or what you do, since I won't be here to protect you." He exclaims.

Since when did he truly care about my well-being? Eh, what the fuck ever.

Just smile and nod. Smile and nod. That's at least what I am repeating in my head over and over again.

"Alright. Make sure to get yourself some new clothes and continue losing weight. Soon I will have you travelling with me and need to be able to show you off and have you blend with the other wives and girlfriends of my soon-to-be new clients." He grinned.

I smile back at him but fear at what he just said.

"Okay." I reply back.

"Good. Well, I'll see you when I get back and if you need anything, call me." He says.

"Alright." I nod in reply. He leaves, closing the door behind him.

Before I could go to bed tonight, I just had to take one last look at the money he gave me. I will definitely be adding this to the $55 million unmarked and untraceable cash he has placed inside of a duffel bag in his closet, that he also has all tied together in several piles with rubber bands.

Tomorrow however, while planning my escape, I am going to do what I wanted to originally and go to the movies. I just now have to try and find a way to convince these bozo's I was left with to guard me, how I can get them to not be too close by. Better yet, convince them to allow me some alone time.

Before I went to sleep, I looked at my cell phone after realizing that I was talking with Jameson and noticed the last message he sent and I smiled while blushing before setting it down inside the night stand drawer.

The Next Day

After waking up and eating a bowl of cereal, I got myself ready and had all of the cash he gave me in my purse and tried with my first attempt in leaving by myself by casually walking towards the front door, while the goons I was left with were sitting at a table playing dominoes.

"I'll be back." I tell them.

Then right as I reach for the door handle, that is when I found out that they aren't dumbasses like I thought.

"Where are you going?!" One of the guy's asked me.

"I'm aloud to go out into town without supervision." I tell them.

"No you're not. The boss told us to go wherever you do. No exceptions." They tell me.

"He just meant that I can't be out more than a certain time and only meant if I went outside of town." I try to convince them.

They look at each other before looking back at me.

"We aren't idiots. We're going with you and that's that." The other guy stood up and grabbed his jacket from off his chair.

Damn! Next I quickly come up with an idea to try some reverse psychology or whatever you call it on them.

"Okay. Don't say I didn't warn you guys. Spending all day with me trying on dresses and going to the grocery store and a few other shops, I was trying to save you both from boredom. But I guess you're right, you guys should go and obey orders." I tell them.

They don't say anything and both start to walk behind me towards the door until I stop and turn to them real fast. 

"Oh and make sure I don't forget, since it's going to be my time of the month soon, that  I need to grab some feminine products and several other female items, if you know what I mean." I began to ramble on but they stopped me.

"Alright alright. My god, you don't have a filter do you? Ew. Look, how about we make a deal with you, if we promise to let you go by yourself, you have to promise us you won't tell him we did let you go by yourself and to make sure you are back before dinner!" They mentioned sternly.

Dumbasses.

"Deal!" I held out my hand and we shook on it, then I left.

Hmmm, maybe for my next day out, I'll just mention a personal doctor's appointment or something. Freedom at last!! This is great! Plenty of alone time to try and come up with a solution to escape for good. Not to mention grabbing his duffel bag without anyone of these guys here catching me.

Next chapter will be posted soon! :)
