The Mafia Chose Me?! (Completed) ✅

Chapter 18

Your mom! 😋

Leo had talked to me all night, and I him. I asked him about adopting Luke, then he asked me who Luke was. And I told him the whole story about how Luke and Chase were Diego's offsprings, he got a laugh when I used offsprings instead of children.

"Are you still looking for us?" I asked still awake from watching over the children. "I won't stop, how many times do I have to tell you that?" Leonardo asked me, I could hear the reeve of a motorcycle, Leonardo's favorite to ride. He even had me ride on the back of it, I was kinda scared at first but then slowly got used to it.

"A lot, until you come and find us." I laughed, but he didn't find that funny. "Come on that was funny." I said, I could hear him growl, "No it was not, you and the kids have been kidnapped for over 18 hours." Leonardo said and reeved his motorcycle loudly.

I heard a motorcycle from outside of the truck.

"Wait Leo," I quickly yelled and he stopped, the noise of the motorcycle also stopped. "I heard your motorcycle!" I said happily, "I think your close to us!" I yelled waking the kids up. "What is wrong?" They both asked at the same time, sleep carrying their voices away.

"Nothing, just I think Leo is close to finding us." I told them. "Just listen for a motorcycle engine." I told them and we all listened for the reeve of an engine, "I hear him!" Chase yelled, "Leo, head west." I told Leonardo through the chip.  "On it!" He said and the loud sound of the engine came closer and closer. 

"I see it," I heard Leonardo cheer, "I see the truck." Leonardo yelled and the motorcycle engine stopped.  There was banging on the door, and suddenly light pooled into the truck.  Leonardo was standing there he looked like an angel sent from heaven.

"Leo," I mumbled rushing into his arms, he caught me and pulled me close. He kissed me on the lips, my eyes closed in delight. I broke the kiss taking a deep breath in, I brought my forehead to his smiling. "Papa?" I heard Chase who grabbed my attention.

I looked over at her to see her holding her brother close. "Luke," I said and wriggled from Leonardo's arms, "are you alright?" I asked him, he looked a bit faint and pale now that he was in the light. "The light is so bright," He mumbled covering his eyes, "it's amazing." He finished, Luke couldn't be happier.

I carried him in my arms, he couldn't hold himself up on his own legs, his pale legs couldn't even allow him to stand. "Whose this?" I heard the thick Italian accent call. "This is Luke, he's Chase's twin brother." I told him turning around to look at him. "Luke, this is Leonardo my husband." I could see Luke watching Leonardo carefully, like he didn't trust him.

"Hello," Leonardo greeted, he looked at the small frail boy in my arms, "I'm Leonardo, Chase's adoptive father, as well as yours." Leonardo accepted him without me telling him anything. This was sweet, I'm glad I married him. "Your going to be my new dad?" Luke's small voice roes up above the city bustle.

"Yes," Leo answered, that had Luke lifting his head off of my chest to get a better look at Leonardo. There was a small sparkle in his eye that showed curiosity. "I can't get down!" We heard Chase cry as she tried to get down from the truck. Leonardo laughed and went to help Chase get down off the truck.

"Thank you dad." Chase smiled, her bright eyes shinning in the sunlight. Chase and Luke were two opposites, that where perfect with each other. "Escaping will only lead to your demise." The woman said she was holding a gun, it was pointed at me more specifically Luke.

"Mommy don't." Luke mumbled and hid into my chest. "What's her real name?" I quietly asked Luke, "Amanda," he mumbled, I quickly looked at Amanda. "Amanda, is it, please you don't want to hurt the kids." I reasoned with her, I was right the kids should not be involved, nor should they be harmed. "The kids did nothing wrong." I told her, she shouldn't e volve the kids.

"And why shouldn't I?" She asked, "Chase ran off into your arms. Luke looks so much like his father who I despise! You killed Diego, the love of my life. You deserve to die more than anyone else here." She waved the gun at me, I used my arms to protect Luke the best I could.

I was handed Chase, and Leonardo stepped in front of me. I moved one hand to hold Chase on one side of my body, while I held Luke on the other. "Amanda if you wanna get to the kids you have to get through me." Leonardo threatened as he outstretched his arms protecting me and the kids. "Fine," she said and reloaded the gun, I flinched at the clicking sound the gun made. "I'll just shoot you." She said and the gun went off.

...

Blood.

So much blood!

It pooled out of his chest.

Amanda shot Leonardo on the right side of his chest, it was closer to his arm and not smack dab in the middle.

"Leo!" I yelled rushing to him I was stopped by the familiar sound of the gun reloading. "Don't move!" Amanda threatened as she aimed the gun at me. "Chiama i cani, (Call for the dogs)," Leonardo mumbled out, blood started to slowly spit out of his mouth. The dogs, he knew that the dogs would follow him hear.

"Cover your ears," I whispered to Luke and Chase, they blocked their ears with their small little hands. I whistled with all my might hopefully alerting the dogs. I heard distant barking that was coming close to our position. "What was that for!" Amanda yelled putting her finger over the trigger, "it was nothing!" I shouted resting my arms around the children.

"It didn't seem like nothing!" She argued and started to pull the trigger. The barking got louder, "Did you call a pack of wild dogs?" She demanded, I was going to speak up when Leonardo coughed up a reason. "Huskies, breed to rip people apart, and kill." Leonardo coughed up a bit of blood.

"Leo!" I yelled and tried to get to him, "Stay put!" Amanda yelled as she held the gun up at me. "I'm the one with the gun! I make the decision here!" Amanda yelled throwing at temper tantrum. "But your not the only one with a gun," Leonardo said as he sat up, slowly and carefully. "Careful," I said and wanted to help him up but Amanda was still holding me at gun point.

Leonardo held up a gun pointing right at Amanda. He slowly stood out and blood started running down his shirt. The white turned red from the blood. "Leo!" I yelled when the blood started staining the back of his shirt. I rushed to help him, while still protecting the children. "I'm ok," Leonardo whispered kissing my cheek, but still holding Amanda at gun point.

"It's just a little scrape." He said still keeping an eye on Amanda. "It's not just a scrape, it's a god damn wound!" I yelled watching the shirt turn red. "You need to get to a hospital." I told him worrying for his health. "I'll be fine amore (love)." He told me, but it was really hot to hear him say something in Italian. "Papa, is daddy going to be ok?" Chase asked looking up at me, "he's going to be fine." I told her hopping I wasn't sealing my, or Leo's, fate.

"What are you waiting for just shoot me already!" Amanda yelled throwing a temper tantrum. "I have nothing to live for anymore." She cried the gun dropping to the ground.  "My children hate me!" She cried again, "my husband is dead, what else is there to live for?" She asked, she dropped to her knees on the ground. 

I had an idea. 

"Blank slate," I mumbled, she looked up to me tears swelling in her eyes.  That's when I spoke up louder, "you could go somewhere far away from here, and restart your life."  I told her resting my hand on her shoulder. "No one will know about this, just let us live." I plead with her. She cried, her tears falling like a waterfall, they wouldn't stop.

I hugged her as she kept on crying.

"I'll leave," she mumbled, I could barely hear her. "Take the children make sure they are safe." She whispered in my ear.

Her hand quickly reached for the gun next to her.

She placed it against her head and pulled the trigger...
