Mafia

Chapter Twenty-Five

Lilly brought me downstairs and to the ballroom where everyone was talking and interacting, there were very few people dancing yet, probably because the night has only just begun. Most of the women looked bored as they listened to their husbands chat away about 'business.' Lilly grabbed the both of us drinks, non-alcoholic of course before guiding me in the direction of her new husband. 

Of course, we did not go unnoticed, the two men both Giovanni and her 'future husband.' where chatting away to one another like good pals, and I wondered if Giovanni knew the agreement that Lily and he have. Part of that worried me what If he wanted to do that to my children, send them away to some random man to marry them. Both of the men had turned their attention to us and forced us to walk over to them. 

Her 'Husband' was a rather attractive man, not that it changed the situation, he was tanned and very muscular much like Giovanni, however he had longer darker hair and the most piercing blue eyes, when he spoke, I caught an Italian accent much like Giovanni's. "You must be the sister-in-law then." He states laughing slightly to himself. 

I could feel my facial expression turn cold as I glanced at Giovanni who was too busy starring at someone to notice me. "Hmm yes I have heard about the situation." I state as I take another sip from my glass. "I just simply don't understand something however." 

"And what might that be?" He asks as his eyes stare deep into my soul causing me to shive slightly, Lilly did not even have to tell me that he was a mafia man I could tell instantly by his emotions or lack of should I say. 

"Why you have to marry poor Lilly here in order to improve your mafia. Just demonstrates your lack of leadership skills." I almost spit as I watch Lilly's eye widen, Giovanni's attention had defiantly been brought back to the conversation as he took a deep breath however said nothing. 

The man across from me started laughing clearly finding what I had said to him amusing, as he took another sip from his drink. "Giovanni, I think you should sort your bitch out." He said as he eyes moved from me and locked onto Giovanni. 

Giovanni's jaw locked as he fists clenched ready for the fight that was about to break out. "May I remind you who you a speaking to." He states as he steps towards the other guy, their faces so close that they could almost be touching. 

"Same could be said for you Giovanni. At least I have built my entire empire unlike you who got it handed down from daddy." And just like that the two men were fighting, everyone around us had gone silent as the women let out gasps. 

Blood was dribbling out of the man's nose, and I was convinced that Giovanni had broken it during the fight, he only had a cut to his lip as they continued going at it. If someone did not intervene, I had a feeling that the two of them would fight to the death, but no one was stepping in. 

I decided that I would be the one to break it up, not wanting him to kill yet another person, expect when I stepped towards the two of them, the man missed Giovanni and punched me directly in the face causing me to take a few steps backwards to steady myself. I know that it was unintentional however it felt like a personal attack. The whole room had gasped at the moment and their eyes were on me the crazy pregnant women who had just been punched. 

And in that moment the pregnancy hormones kicked in and I went crazy, I grabbed the gun from Giovanni's pocket aiming it directly at the man's head. His eyes flicked with something as a smirk went across his face. "Don't be a stupid bitch you aren't going to kill me." He laughed as I felt Giovanni step behind me, his hands wrapping round my body to take the gun from my hands, slipping it back into his pocket. 

Both of his parents had entered the room and had watched me pull a gun to this man, however they both did not seem angry instead they looked more shocked. Giovanni spat blood towards the man before dragging me out of his parents' house and back into the car, clearly taking me home. 

"What the fuck! Are you stupid! He yelled as he sped down the road the wind from the open window hitting me in the face, I thought he was going on about me pulling the gun out of his pocket. "You never ever get in between a fight with two grown men, defiantly not fucking Mafia men." 

I had no words to say back to that, I suppose it was very stupid of me, but I didn't want to see another death especially since the last one traumatised me so bad. "Sorry." I muttered as he rolled his eyes, not bothering to look at me any longer. 

"We should go and see your parents again tomorrow, apologise for the shit that we caused. I can bake a cake?" Giovanni scoffed as I leant back into the chair playing with my rings again. 

"I am sure my mother does not want your cake, or your apologises."

"Fine I won't bother than was just trying to do something nice." I almost yell as I stare out of the window. How did I end up marrying this asshole? Oh yeah by blackmail...

I headed straight to bed the moment I got home not bothering to brush my teeth or take my makeup of. I will deal with that tomorrow when it is a new day, speaking of which I have an appointment with the doctor tomorrow to check on the baby. I can only hope that Giovanni does not want to come in with me...
