Mobster (BWWM)

Chapter 25

Kelly.

Who would want to lock me inside the sauna? Who had deleted that footage from the security system? Marco, Loren, Luca, and Enzo said that the steam room overheated when they found me. Did I turn up the temperature that high? No, I didn't. I would never do that. Someone must have come in there and done that. Someone had tried to suffocate me to death but why? I tried to be as nice and as friendly as I could to everyone around here. The only person who didn't like me here was that housekeeper, Mildred. I was wondering if she was the one who came inside there, turned up the temperature, and then locked me inside but how did she gain access to the security room to delete the video footage? There were so many unanswered questions. 

The worst thing about it is that I didn't remember anything. It has been two days now and I'm still cooped up in bed. Marco did not want me to get out. Hell, he didn't even want me to leave the house. I was on sick leave from work but I still did my classes online.

I still have nightmares about Aunt Macy's death. Two months ago, she was brutally murdered by those scumbags. That jerk, Matteo, got what he deserved. I was not sorry that I killed him.

"Marco, I want you to make me a bowl of my favorite vegetable soup," I told him as I sat up in bed.

He was working from home today.

He closed the computer screen and looked at me. "Sure, when do you want it?" He asked. 

"Now," I replied abruptly and stretched my hand across the nightstand to take up my phone. 

"Okay, I am going to make it now, Bella." He said as he got from his desk and sat on the bed beside me.

"Thanks." I smiled at him. 

He stroked my cheeks and stared at me. "You're welcome. You're so fucking beautiful." He murmured as we stared at each other. 

I couldn't help blushing as I looked away from his intense gaze. I wanted to jump his bones right then and there but I was feeling so weak.

"I don't think that I look beautiful now." I blurted out. "I'm not wearing any makeup, my hair is a mess, and my eyes are swollen." 

"Kelly, you don't need that stupid makeup to look beautiful. Your hair looks lovely, and your eyes are beautiful and captivating. You are an alluring woman, bambino." He said, seriously.

I felt my knees getting weak. Marco always made me feel as if I was the only woman in the world.

"Thanks, baby, you make me feel so special." I wrapped my arms around his neck. 

Our forehead was against each other as he held my waist.

"You are special. You know that I love you, right?" He asked and planted a gentle kiss on my forehead. 

"Yes, I know," I answered softly.

"Good." He muttered and smiled as I straddled his lap. 

I latched onto his neck while he ran his hand along my spine.

He was getting hard.

"Bella," He called but I didn't respond to him. 

"Bella," He said for the second time and I still ignored him. 

"Kelly," He said more seriously. "I think that I need to go and make you that soup."

I stopped and nodded at him.

I got up from his lap and lay on the bed.

"I'll be back shortly." He said and winked at me.
