Mafia Princess

chapter 32

It's been ten minutes since Diego left me with Bred and he is not awake yet. My patience is wearing thin and I walk to a drum full of water at the corner.

I get the water and I splash it hard on his face and he gasps suddenly opening his eyes.

“shit, where am I? ” he mumble clutching his head.

“welcome back. ” I say slowly croatching to get to his height while seated on the ground. His black hair is sticking to his face and he looks a little red. “for a minute there I thought you were dead.” I smirk.

“let's save ourselves time and get to what you really want from me. ” he is seething with anger and I can tell that he wouldn't hesitate before killing me if he broke loose.

“why did you come into my life? ” I start questioning since that is exactly what he wanted, for us to go straight to business.

“what kind of a question is that?”

“I ask the questions here. ” I sigh dragging the gun lightly on the edge of his face.

“I don't know how to answer that. ”

“well, let me make it simpler for you.” I say pulling a chair and sitting in front of him. “why did you show up in my life like the all round gentle man yet you are a fucking beast inside? ”

“I know I have lied to you a lot of times but the only thing that was true was the fact that I really did love you.” his eyes are full of remorse but am not falling for that not today.

“your definition of love is a complete opposite from mine. ” I point out. “we don't have the whole day and am in no mood to keep driving bullets in your legs, actually I was thinking of your left knee being next if you don't cooperate, but it doesn't mean I wouldn't do it.” I lean in placing my elbows on my knees. “stop me where am wrong, your western territory gangs and mafias are trying to break my family, reason I don't know. You are the leader of your territory and your dad never sent you to come into my life it was your fucking plan. ” I say shoving a gun on his chest and he whimpers.

“how did you know that ? ” he looks shocked but quick to gain his poker face back.

“well, you just proved me right, so let's keep going. Why Ella? ”

“you started pulling away when Gle...,I mean Arnold got your attention so I went to the next close thing you had,i just needed to get close to her for her to tell me what you don't tell anyone,plus she had a crush on me since day one and I was targeted on you so I brushed her away untill I realized she would be helpful.”

“I don't understand, why would she insist that we get back together when we broke up yet she liked you? And you can say Glen. I know about that too. ”

“I promised to do anything she wanted only if she helped me get back with you. What she didn't know was my intentions.”

“you are defending her because? ” I ask when I realize Bred is a self-centered prick he only cares about himself which means he might be planning to get me to forgive Ella and have her close so he’d use her.

My phone rings in my coat hanged against the wall and I go for it.

It's Barry and I am tempted to ignore it but, he'd track me and get his ass here and so to avoid all that I unceremoniously tap the receiver icon.

You have the worst timing in the world, Barry.
Me.

Trust me, I know. Where are you?
Barry.

Am a little busy, what is going on
Me.

the inspector just called, dad's body has been found.
Barry.

I gasp at that.

What? How? When? Where?
Me.

I'll answer them once you get here, we're waiting.
Barry.

Fine. On my way
Me.

I hung up dropping the phone back into the pocket and I take the coat off the wall putting it on.

“where are you going? ” bred gets my attention trying to get close but the chains restrain him.

“like its any of your business.” I scoff.

“you can't leave me here.”

“if you check again you'll realize you're not in a position to call the shots.” I point out.

“I need to get back to my territory before they come looking for me, they'll come for you if they find me here in this situation with Ella knocked out they'd find out what's going on.”

“you know it's crazy how you act like you care when all you have done is hurt me time and again.” I make to walk out and I feel a little light headed and I go reeling back before I gain my stability.

What is wrong with me? Why am I feeling weird lately?

“you okay? ” he asks and I ignore him. I make to go outside and I turn on the way after tucking the gun away. “I'll be back in a while, try not to miss me.” and I walk out ignoring him calling me over and over again. I'd feel sorry for him if I didn't know any better.

“How are you feeling? ” are the first words that come out of Diego's mouth when I walk to him.

“am good. Why are you asking? ”

“You look a little pale.” he observes reaching for my hand.

“am okay I must be tired from everything, I need to get home.”

“I'll take care of him for you then. ” he says making to go in but I hold his arm.

“no, just leave him. Let's go. ”

“he'll come after you once he is broken free.”

“he won't, he doesn't know that I know everything, he thinks I was just doing this for revenge or because am heartbroken. Plus he doesn't have it in him to hurt me. He has a little part of him that cares. That's an advantage.”I say walking to the car. “so are you going to get me home or what? ” I ask peeking from the window.

“yeah sure.” he says running to the car. “I just hope whatever you have planned will work, I mean you know him better than me so.” he says driving to the freeway. “so, what is going on at home? ”

“I don't know, Barry just called saying he needed me urgently. Didn't say what. He might be doing this to get me home since they are worried. I disappeared without saying where I was going so I just need to show up and let them see that I can take care of myself.”

I don't think it's a good idea to tell him what is going on with my family. I don't know if I can trust him. until then, am not making the same mistake again
