Mafia love

Chapter 14

I wake up to hear voices outside of the bedroom door. Ezra is no longer in the bed. I get up and open the door to see a maid and Ezra talking to each other. I overheard him thanking her. "What are the thanks for?" I ask all confused. "She told me how to wash your hair." He said quietly as if he didn't want me to find out. A smile shoots across my face knowing he asked for help. He smiles back unknowingly whilst in front of the maid.

He grabs my hand gently as we walk back into our bedroom and the maid says something to me before I head in following him. "You're the only person he smiles at like that." She whispers. I smile at her and turn back to our room.

"I'm so sorry baby, I have to go on a business trip and I won't be back until the end of the week." He states. My heart sinks as it's only Tuesday. "Can I come?" I plead. "No, it's too dangerous. You are safer here." He frowns. I nod with a sad look on my face.

We walk towards the front door together and he hands me a bank card and a set of car keys. "What are these for?" I ask looking up to him. "You can drive yourself to the mall, spend as much as you want." Ezra cups my face. "But please take some of my men with you, even if they travel in a different car and stand 10 metres away from you, please take them." He says with a big sigh. "I will, please don't get hurt." My voice quivers.

He strokes my hair and rests his chin on the top of my head. I close my eyes taking in his scent. "Don't worry about me." He whispers. "That's not the answer I was looking for Ezra." Tears fill my eyes. "I won't get hurt." Ezra looks at me and rubs away the tears that roll down my cheeks. "When I get back, we are venturing off onto our honeymoon tesoro." A smile decorates my face, knowing I will have him to myself again.

We have a long kiss before he parts from in front of me. Leaving through the door. I hold back tears as the door closes. I just wanted him by my side.

I suppose being a mafia wife is hard. Especially when you fall in love. I pull my phone out and set the wallpaper to a picture of him when he was asleep. So peaceful.
