My Ex Mafia

Nicole

It was a new day and I was woken up by the smell of pancakes and by the sound of a truck outside the house. When I thought back to what Sylvester had said yesterday about me moving out I thought that he was joking, but he wasn't. I should have been more excited but I wasn't, it something didn't feel right.
I got out of bed and decided to see what was going on around the house. I made my way to the kitchen where Maria was making breakfast. "Ms Hues it's good to see you again, pancakes?" She asked with a bright smile.

My favourite part of the mansion was when Maria was around. She always knew the best foods to cook and she was always caring and took care of everything in the house.
"Hey Maria, yes please"
"Sylvester informed me to let you know that once you're done with your breakfast that you should meet him in his office" I let out a deep breath as I replayed yesterday's conversation with him.

Nothing bad would happen, maybe he just wanted to finally talk or he wanted to get out his frustration about me coming into his room yesterday after asking me not to bother him. "Don't worry Ms Hues, he's in a calm mood, you have nothing to worry about" Maria reassured me which helped calm my nerves.

I decided to go upstairs first before grabbing breakfast just to get this over and done with. I stood outside Sylvester's office and took a deep breath in before knocking on the door. "Come in Nicole" he said in a calm tone.
He was standing with his back towards me as he looked at an old family portrait that hung over his desk. There was a little boy in the middle dressed in a suit, with an old couple standing behind him.

No one was smiling except for the little boy in the middle. "This picture was taken when I was a young boy. Before the Mafia took control of my life and my mother's. I used to be so happy before it all. I knew one day I'd take over for my father but the day we lost my mother was the day my childhood ended" he turned to face me and just stared into my eyes.
"Take a seat Nicole" he said as he sat down too.

"As you know Alberto is gone which meant that he can't harm you. None of the other Families know about your existence in my life so you should be safer now. The movers are here at your disposal if you decide to leave or not, there's an apartment not so far from here that I've set up for you , it's under my name so no one will bother you. Everything has been taken care of, money, groceries, clothes, furniture, if you need anything more just let either Rico or Maria know and everything will be sorted out. You will still be protected by my guys but I'll do everything in my capacity to keep you as far away from the Mafia as possible" I guess it was true, I had the option to finally leave Sylvester's lifestyle for good. This was good news but the moving, the apartment all of it wasn't what I needed to talk to him about. I needed to know if we were okay.

"Nicole did you hear me?" He asked as he placed his hands on the table with his eyebrow lifted a little. "Yes, I did"
"Okay then you'll let me before 9am if the movers should do their job or leave, you had questions?"he said so calmly like he was trying not to put any pressure on my decision. It shouldn't be a hard question, being here wasn't my choice so moving would be perfect, but having to adapt to another lifestyle seemed to be make this whole thing more difficult.

"Well I wanted to talk about the other night and if we were okay?"
"Okay then. Yes we are, anything else?" He said with no emotion in his voice. "You're serious?" I asked in a concerned tone as I tried to read his facial expressions but nothing.
"Yes Nicole, is that the only question you wanted to ask me?" The way he said my name was cold and harsh and I didn't know what to feel. "No. I just wanted to know if we were good since I mentioned Kevin. You seemed angry but you didn't say anything."

"In the moment yes I was upset. But I grew past it. If you want to be with the pig- I mean Kevin then that's your choice. I'm tired of fighting with you Nicole so I'll let you be." He seemed broken but he hid it, but I could tell. "Wow I don't know what to say... Who knew us sleeping together one last time would make you let me go, if I knew earlier then I would have slept with you ages ago" I joked hoping to relieve the tension in the the room, which it did for a few seconds but not long enough.

Sylvester smiled and stood up so I did to. He walked towards the door and opened it, so I knew it was time for me to leave. I walked towards the door but Sylvester stopped me by wrapping one arm around my waist as he gently pressed my back against his chest. I could feel his warm breath getting closer to my neck as he moved in towards my ear. "I never said that I let you go. I said I'll let you be, just until you realize that I'm the only person truly for you. I'll let you make your mistakes and try to replace my love with people who don't deserve you, until you come back to me. I am yours Nicole and you know deep down that you are mine, you just need to realize that once more" he whispered gently into my ear sending goosebumps down my spine.

His hand ran up my body slowly as his touch left me wanting more. His hand met my breasts as he continued to talk closer to my neck. "And once you realize it, I won't let you go ever again." He ran his hand up my breast and gently grabbed my neck making it arch backwards.
He gently kissed the side of my neck making my breathing speed up. "And once more you'll crave my touch on every inch of your body." He kissed my neck once more before letting go of me. "You can go now" he said as he walked back to his desk. "Please close the door on your way" He was unbelievable. I rolled my eyes and left his door open just to piss him off.

I stomped my way downstairs in annoyance. I hated the power that he had over my thoughts, my decisions, my body it was infuriating. I was about to walk back to my room to pack up my things when I heard a knock at the door.
I went to check who it was but there was no one. Just a box on the door step with my name on it. I was surprised, no one knew that I was at Sylvester's except for Olivia and Kevin, but this box wasn't addressed by anyone which made me question it.

I opened the box and found a small note on the top of shredded pieces of paper. I walked towards the kitchen as I read the note.

To: Nicole Hues.

I hope you didn't get your hopes up, because your time starts now.

~Al

The note didn't make any sense to me until I heard the ticking. I looked inside the box and that's when I knew. "SYLVESTER!!!!" I screamed as I ran out the kitchen but it was too late.
