Mafia Princess

chapter 37

Am seated on my livingroom. It's getting late and Diego is not yet back. My heart is sinking to my stomach. Paulina is on her way here, I can't wait to have her here. The nanny is not here and am all alone.
Jim and Barry are working on finding my baby.

I keep staring at my phone on the table hoping that one of them calls and gives me some good news.

The doorbell is rung and I jump up to open the door, it's probably Paulina.

I pull the door open and I gasp when I come face to face with a gun on my forehead.

A sense of releaf washes through me when I see My baby girl on his side unharmed.
“baby, are you okay. ”she looks scared and I reach to comfort her but Bred is quick to stop me.

“don't make me use this.” he threatens. He looks so different with all the beards covering his face makes him look even more scary for the kid. “go back slowly and don't think of doing anything stupid.” he says pushing Amy to my arms and she wraps her little arms around me.

“mommy am scared. ” Amy sniffles and I assuringly rub her back.

“it's gonna be okay baby.” I reassure her. “Bred she's just a kid. Keep her out of this. ”

“except she's my kid.” he seeths closing the door behind him.

“mom? ” Amy calls.

I can't have her see the monster her father is.
“she can't accept you if you keep showing her the worst side of you.” I try reasoning with Bred to tuck his gun away but he looks so determined to kill us.

Am scared but I try keeping a strong face for Amy.

“Did you tell her who her real dad is? Or should i? ” He asks pointing his gun at me.
He must have waited to show up when everyone was out looking for Amy and am home alone.

“don't do this. You're better than these.” I say squezzing Amy to myself. “where did the Bred I fell in love with go? ”

“he is no longer here. ”

My phone on the table rings and he stops me from reaching for it.

“why are you doing this? What did I do? ” I try understanding why he hates me so much.

“my gang is dead. Some of them are in the prison and others are dead from the police raid, my territory is finished. I have lost everything and that son of a bitch is trying to take you and my baby away? ”

“whatever happened to you is not my fault. You made the police have their attention to you when you attacked innocent people and raided their homes for no reason. ”

“shut up. ” he snaps and Amy starts crying.

“can't you see that you're scaring the kid.”

“Take the phone. Get him to come here. He is the one who needs to die. ”

I reach for my phone and I try sending a message to Barry but he yells at me to not do anything and I gasp dropping the phone and I watch at the screen shutters.

The doorbell is rung and he gives me a look that makes me not make a move. I can't die yet, Amy needs me so I stay calm and not give him a reason to kills us.

“Get it.” he says leading me to the door and standing behind it.

Paulina is clueless on what is going on.
“he'll hurt us. ” Amy tells her and Bred moves quickly.

“get in and follow them. ” he tells her and she slowly joins us.

“Bred, what are you doing? ” she asks and Bred pushes her and she goes stumbling to the couch.

“I do the talking. ”

“okay what do you want? ” Paulina asks.

“call your brother I need him here right now. ” he snaps.

Paulina taps her phone quickly before Bred realizes it and calls Glen. He is closer and he'll be able to gather help since Diego is not around.

“put it on speaker.” he orders.

When Glen answers Bred realizes that is the wrong brother and snaps for her to hung up.

“I said call Diego. ” he snaps. Paulina gets the phone off speaker so that Glen is able to hear what is going on without Bred noticing.

“mommy am hungry. ” Amy complains.

“can I at least get her something to eat? ”I ask Bred “she is a baby and she has had nothing to eat. You can't punish her she has nothing to do with what happened, c'mon Bred. ” I say the last part just to make sure Glen gets the message.

He reaches for the pizza box on the dining table while pointing the gun at us and hands Aimee the pizza.

******

It's been thirty minutes approximately since we sent Glen the message and we keep seating on the couch staring at him with Amy sandwiched between Paulina and I munching on the slice of pizza.

The door bell is rung again and that gets his attention. He stands and walks to the door. He peeps through the small hole on the door and then he opens it and a civilian guy is standing there.

“Excuse me, is Mrs, morone home? I was supposed to pick her for the ball. I just ran a little late. ” he explains and I realize it's just a trick since I don't know him at all.

I hear the kitchen backdoor opening and my eyes land on Glen peeping from the kitchen. I almost yell in disbelief. He guestures for me to keep quiet and I also see Barry behind him.

“no she is not home. ” he says pushing him out and closing the door behind him.
Barry points a gun at Bred like he is ensuring he doesn't miss. Paulina reaches for Amy and covers her eyes with her hands.

Before he even reacts, a bullet wizzes through the air and hits Bred's forehead and he goes down dropping his gun.
Paulina goes upstairs with Amy so she doesn't see the blood and a dead body.
Diego rushes in and pulls me in for a tight hug which I gladly sink into.

“thank you.” I mouth to Glen and he winks lazily before reaching for his phone and calling for the cleaning guy in his gang that cleans after their mess.

I pull out from the hug and Jim walks to me, he plants a swift kiss on my forehead before going to check on Amy.
