Mafia series: Innocence

Chapter 26

Brielle's POV

After the meeting Lorenzo had someone drive me back to the mansion, and once I got there I was at least hoping Rosa or Romeo would be here but they aren't.

It's just me and the staff which is really boring, I'm currently in the library reading and Fiona would come in here and there refilling my tea or just checking on me.

I have been officially living here in the mansion for 2 months and I'm actually starting to actually enjoy living here.

I kinda felt as if I belonged, as much as I hate to say this, I'm getting attached to this place and everyone in it.

I know I shouldn't because I'm only here for a year but at the same time I can't help it. I feel welcomed and safe here I mean sure Lorenzo gets on my nerves but we are finally getting along a little.

Yeah, if you call kissing and him basically dry humping you on the kitchen counter getting along then sure.

Ok inner thoughts you have a good point there. But I can't help but feel as if Lorenzo isn't as bad as I thought.

I mean sure he's a mafia Don who basically kidnapped me and used me for his own use, but he did give me a choice to marry him and I choose to.

I am pulled out of my thoughts by a frantic looking Fiona who ran into the library and seems to be out of breath.

"Fiona, is everything ok?" I asked while shutting my book and standing up making my way to her.

"I can't really tell you right now, but we need to hurry and get out of the house."

"What?" I asked but instead of saying anything she grabs my hand and leads me out of the library and through a hallway I never knew existed.

She makes many turns until we make our way outside to the garden but she stops all of a sudden hiding us behind a bush.

Thank god I wore sneakers today, along with leggings and just a hoodie.

"Fiona, what's wrong?"

"Shhh, you have to be very quiet my dear." She whispers causing the hair on the back of my neck to raise at how frighten she sounds.

She points to the right side of the bush, where I slowly peak my head out seeing at least 15 men with guns walking around and I then hear gunshots inside of the house.

Causing my eyes to widen and for me to put my hand over my mouth so they didn't hear me gasp.

We know how that went last time.

«Босс сказал не трогать девушку, она нужна ему живой». A deep Russian voice said.

(Boss said don't hurt the girl, he wants her alive)

I don't really know much about them, just the fact that they have been messing with Lorenzo's mafia and that the leader is Lorenzo's enemy.

"Fiona, what do we do?" I asked in a low voice that only she could hear.

"We have to find a way out." She says more to herself than to me.
