Untold Truth.

Chapter 16

In the other room, Myra did not get to sleep. She turned and turned thinking of whatever will happen tomorrow. Damien seemed like the type of guy who would just do anything with a snap of a finger. During the past few days that Myra had spent with Damien, she had come to like him. To like how he and Giada interacted and how he always seemed to enjoy her company. And for Myra's part, he was the only guy that she seemed to be drawn to. His kind gestures, his eyes, and also, he was attractive. Myra could not sleep so she got out of the bedroom and decided to head to the kitchen to get a glass of water. She kissed Giada and left the bedroom door half open. She followed the hallway up to the end, but she did not reach the kitchen instead she found herself outside. But she was glad, some fresh air will do. She stared at the clear sky and took a deep breath of the cold air and she exhaled deeply. She did that a few more times before someone spoke behind startling her.

''Need some company?'' Damien asked. 

''Damien, yeah sure I do not mind.'' She spoke.

Damien and Myra sat silently, each lost in their thoughts. Myra decided to break the silence.

''So, what is it that you do?'' She asked looking at him. Damien looked at her for quite some time before saying.

''What do you have in mind.'' Myra looked up at the sky thinking of something to say and she turned her gaze to meet his. ''I do not know but I think maybe you are a government official.'' She said shrugging.

Damien let out a hearty laugh.  Myra looked at him while he laughed, and she could not help but notice how handsome he was when he laughed. ''Well, you are almost right but I do not think you would like to know what I do.'' He said the laughter dying.

''Why? Is it something bad?'' She asked.

''What is your definition of bad?'' Damien asked her liking where this was going.

''Well, something like you know, drugs.'' She said, saying the drugs part in a whisper.

Damien looked at her trying to read her thoughts and think if he should tell her what he does for a living. Damien was afraid of the outcome he liked the relationship that they had with Myra though it was not that deep, it was going somewhere and if he comes clean about his work it might sabotage whatever they have, but what if she finds out from someone else? Better say it now. He decided to tell her.

''I own the Mafia.'' He said, and he looked at her. Myra was quiet. She did not say anything. And Damien thought that it was over. 

''You are not joking, are you?'' Myra asked. Damien kept quiet and Myra knew he was not joking.

''How am I supposed to react?'' She suddenly asked Damien. Damien was taken aback. I mean he expected her to maybe not want him near her or shout or yell, but she did not do that.

''I do not know.'' He said nervously. ''Maybe hate me or tell me not to come near you,'' Damien said unsure. Myra laughed this time. And Damien looked at her as she laughed and wanted to hear her laugh again. 

''You seriously expected me to do that?'' She asked amusement in her voice. He kept quiet. ''I do not know what to say but I do not hate you,'' Myra said. Damien exhaled a deep breath that he did not notice he had been holding. ''But let us finish with Giada's situation and we will talk about the mafia and also some things about you.'' Myra said looking him in the eye.

''Yes, sure,'' Damien said glad that she had not reacted as he had expected.

''Good night, Damien,'' Myra said and left, leaving Damien to his thoughts. The reason he had come out here is because he saw Myra from his office window, and he decided to follow her. He was not anticipating the conversation to happen but since it happened, and he had told her about his involvement in the Mafia though not the whole truth he was really glad he followed her outside. Even if the results of the DNA do not turn out positive, whatever he and Myra, and Gia have will not end. He assured himself. And with that Damien returned to the house.

Hello, this chapter was about the stream of consciousness, about how Myra and Damien feel. Though they have not yet confessed to each other.

I hope you liked it. Do not forget to comment and vote.

And I know this is not the Mafia story that you expected about a ruthless animal with no heart and emotions, but I just wanted my story to involve the two different sides of Damien and also Myra's life. Mafia bosses are also humans. LOL

I hope I did not bother you.

I love you all readers.
