Mafia love

Chapter 21

It's been weeks since I have left our room. Ezra had work to attend to. I drag myself out of bed and get showered. Once I have got out of the shower I find myself staring at my clothes. I sigh and walk over to Ezra's side of the closet.

I pull out one of his oversized tops and I get some of my joggers. I get dressed and walk downstairs. I walk into the kitchen and see Fernando. Ezra has been trying to get me to eat but I just couldn't.

Weight had dropped off of me so quickly. "What can I get for you Mrs Coppola?" Fernando puzzled. "I don't want anything, thank you Fernando." I say as I was about to walk out of the kitchen.

"Sorry, you have to eat something. Boss' orders." He states. I groan and sit back at the kitchen island. "I'll just have a slice of toast please." I say frowning. Fernando quickly makes me a slice of toast and places it in front of me.

I stare at it, not knowing what to do. I pick it up and slowly started eating it. Once I had finished my slice of toast I downed the glass of water and walked out of the kitchen.

I walk down the hallway to Ezra's office. I knock on the door and I am welcomed to a "come in." I open the door a touch and peak my head through. I see his face light up and that delicate soft smile was bigger than ever. "Hey Tesoro." He said getting up and walking towards me.

"Hey." I sigh. "I am starting to feel a little better in myself, so I thought I'd come and see you." I smile burning my face into his chest. He holds me there and I admire his scent. "I am so proud of you." He whispers before placing a kiss on the top of my forehead.

"Do you want to do something today?" He asked. "Sure, what were you thinking?" I question. He takes my hand and we walk to the car. He opens the door for me and before long we are driving. An hour into the drive I realise where we are heading.

"Are you taking me to the beach?" I smile. He smiles and giggles a little making my heart melt. We soon reach the beach and we walk onto the sand. A little date is set up, with fairy lights and out favourite foods.

We talked for hours about our future and how we wanted it to look. We talked. We laughed. We cried. We joked. We hugged. We kissed. Every emotion was on display. We needed this break from life for a few hours.

Soon after we start to head back to the car. Ezra's hand in mine and just as we reach the car Ezra jolts me back. "Stop." He whispers covering my mouth. I look down and there is a wire.

Fear fills my body. Ezra pulls out his phone and dials his men. They are there quickly and more are sent as backup.

Ezra stands me far away from the car with his men as he aims a rock at the wire. The car explodes. He sighs and walks towards me and his men.

We are gathered together on the beach. He talks strategies and plans. The bodyguards are all in. "Tom, take Aurora home." He orders and the guard nods. "What, no. I want to help you." I say snapping at him. "You will help me a lot by letting my mind rest. It will rest when I know you are safe." He sighs.

"But you are unsafe, how do you think my mind feels. I'll tell you right now, it's not calm, it is racing. Everyday you go to work my mind races wondering where you are, if you are alive." I ramble. He cups my face. "I'm unsafe at the minute but I will be safe after." He tries to reassure me. "What safe in a grave?!" I snap. "Rory please." He sighs pressing his forehead against mine.

"Fine, but if you are not back by tomorrow morning I am coming and looking for you, do you hear me?" You choke on your tears, barely holding it together. He stays quiet as he doesn't want me to follow. Before I know it, I'm in a car back home with one of his men. I cry on the journey home. I know I won't sleep till he's back, and if I do I will be abruptly woken by a nightmare of the night I was taken and beat.
