La Mà·fia

65

Five years later

Vallea had finally escaped the Russo Brothers three years to the day. Mia was five, but she could feel a storm brewing so she contacted some people she knew. People she could trust to take care of Mia. She'd put off having a paternity test, she had no preference of knowing who Mia's biological father was after she had lied to Nicolo about her and Domienico he'd slapped her and told her to man up and tell Nicolo the truth so they could sort this out once and for all. And they could have the god damn paternity test. Couldn't he see that she was she was doing this fo him? Doing this for for her?

The beatings came almost every night. He'd turned into a monster she couldn't believe he was someone she'd looked up to, was a friend to and had fell for. He was a monster. She once thought Nicolo was but her was worse. She had to escape. It was all a mater of timing. Once she'd had Mia the beatings got worse and he'd began to rape her. She'd lost all respect for him.

Nicolo had forced him to stay away from her, but he was no better. She slept in his bed and his torture was to spend eternity with him. He'd forced the wedding band on her finger and had her sign the marriage registration certificate. Finally she had seen a way out she'd laced the contents of the syringe with a highly toxic drug and rammed the needle into every guards veins.

She watched as they fell to the ground hurrying around the the mansion making sure that they were all out cold. Pulling her wedding ring off disposing it. She picked up Mia and ran as fast as she could. Now five years on they had found them, she was taking no chances she'd give herself up to them to save Mia. She was her world and there was no way were they taking her away from her.

Vallle looked at her. Her eyes showed sorrow through her tears she didn't want to let her baby go she'd fought to the ends of the earth to keep her safe and now they'd found her the only way Mia could be safe was to flea Italy and start a new life a life without her. She'd contacted people she could count on to help her and keep her only daughter safe from the Mafia as well as Nicolo and Domienico. She'd refused a paternity test when she had first became pregnant and two years later she had ran from them once Mia had tuned eleven she had shipped her to the U.K. even had her name changed, because the two brothers had found them.

"Baby you have to go."

"But mom why can't you come?"

"It is safer this way I can't have you find them."

"But they'll kill you if they find you.&

"Please baby you have to leave. You need to be safe. You'll be well protected. Everythig's sorted once you reach the U.K. the Lorenzza's take care of you and bring them up as their own please forget about me."

"No mom."

"Promise me."

"I promise."

"Now go before they come."

Tears fell of her face. She was still traumatised by that day, no matter how much she tired to forget her mother, she couldn't .

The door crashed open the two Russo brothers looking at Vallea, looking around the cottage.

"Where is she Vallea?"

"Where's who?"

"Mia. Where's Mia Vallea?"
