The Mafia Queen 👑

Chapter 12

Lina

I watch him leave the car and even as he wipes the tears from his face I watch him. Feeling like my heart is being ripped out of my chest ,still I watch him. I know I hurt him with what I just did but I didn't have choice. I need to keep him safe and faraway from my dangerous life.

I had half a mind to not show up today and just send a driver to take him to work but I just had to sit near him this one time and feel the heat of his body next to me just this once and then I'd try to let him go. Letting out a big sigh I drop my phone on the seat he just vacated and rest my head on the headrest with my eyes closed.

When I got to my mansion last night I found Carlos there and waiting like he said.

Flashback
The car waits for the gate to open and suddenly there's a knock on my window. Looking up I see Carlos and my mood goes back to below zero. I roll it down and wait for him to speak while giving him a blank stare but he just smiles as if I'm a lover he hasn't seen in a long time.

" what do you want?"
"I missed you." He purrs trying to look sexy but I'm not having any of it .
"Carlos I'm going to say this for the last time. GET LOST!"

he stumbles back at the sound of my voice but I don't care that he looks hurt ,things ended 3 years ago between us and it was just sleeping around no feelings were involved. I roll up my window and motion for Alex to go.

When I get out of the car I'm met by my maid Maria who takes my bag and then proceeds to tell me dinner is ready, I however never eating dinner head to my bedroom to change and hit gym in my mansion. I like having all the things I like in one place so I personally had the designer create this room for me . I relieved stress here. Seeing Carlos just reminded me of the way I used to live before I met Angel and it makes me hate myself even more that I'm not the person that he would me to be or date. I'm not soft or pure of nice not I'm ruthless, dirty and hateful.

Thirty minutes into my work out session my phone pings and I stop to check my messages. A lump in my throat and my heart pumping blood so loudly as I look at the text I just received. It's a picture of Angel and he's sleeping in his apartment. There's no text to go with it just a picture.

Without wasting time I sprint to my control room and start turning on the monitors. Looking at the one of his apartment I see that he is there safe and in his bed. I sigh and release a breath of relief.  I know I won't be okay until I make sure that he is indeed in that room. What were my men doing when this picture was taken?

I watch him as he gets up from the bed to drink water and back to the bed. He then proceeds to do something on his phone. The puts it back and then takes it again typing away and the putting it back again.

I pull up my phone and send a text " what are you doing up at this time kitten ?"

I watch his reaction through the monitor, the minute it registers in his mind who the sender is and he blushes.

"What's it to you? I'm not your kitten" he replies

I laugh out at that. Somebody's feeling brave. I start tying my reply but then received another text message from that unknown number and this time it's a text " just like how you took something precious away from me I'm going to take something  precious from you."

Damn it! Who is this? I try call the number but it doesn't go through. Whoever this is knows about my affection for Angel and there's only a handful of  people who know this.

I quickly send the number to Karina explaining the situation and ask her to find out who the heck has the balls to mess with me like that. Karina is my cousin and my right hand woman, she's our computer expert and that makes people think she's soft and easy but don't be fooled by the glasses and that smile she's even worse than me once you rub off her the wrong way.

I dial his number and wait as the phone rings, I need to hear his voice for me to calm down. I watch as he jumps up at the ring and we exchange few words and I bit him goodnight.

End of flashback

Being connected to me is putting him in danger already and I can't have anything happening to him. So after tossing and turning all night trying to find the solution to this situation I came to the conclusion that letting him go would be best for him. It's better this way. "Go" I tell my driver before i do something stupid like go up there and apologise comfort him like my heart is telling me to.
