The Mafia Lord's Captive✅

Chapter 26

Angelo

Two days later

"Mr. Benson, your deal is with me and not Dominic. If you can't accept the amount I'm offering then fuck off!" I hissed out irritatingly.

"You need to calm down and hear me out, Mr. Angelo. I'm not trying to move the business to Mr. Dominic, what I'm trying to say is things have changed. I can't do the dirty work and get nothing." I closed my eyes trying to hold in my anger.

When I opened them again, it grew two-fold. "You know what, fuck off! Our deal is finished. Don't blame me for whatever attack I send your way." With that, I ended the call and threw the phone harshly on the desk.

A knock swiftly sounded on the door followed by the presence of Kelvin. "Not now Kelvin. Let me be!" I hissed for the third time. Everything and everyone is getting on my nerves. I had been getting pissed and angry at the little things for the past two days.  And to say that the cause of it was Alessia, made the situation worse.

I tried my best not to think of her but to no avail. The night she got hurt, for once in my life, I was scared. Scared of something happening to her. I know I was the cause of her misery. I took her against her will. However, the fact that she hated even the sound of my voice and didn't even want to see me, infuriate me.

I didn't know it would affect me so much until I saw her talking to the rest and not me. When she said she hated me with everything in her, I felt it deep down. It was hard not to wrap my arms around her and tell her everything will be okay. How would I be able to do that when I can't promise that myself?

Since the night, I had been getting myself worked up with work. The art gallery and the deal I was trying to take away from Dominic. And now I had lost it due to my anger. "Sir." Kelvin's voice came through again making me look at him.

"I thought I told you to let me be, Kelvin. Are you deaf?" Usually, whenever my mood has gone sour from a failed business deal or Dominic gets on my nerves, he knows he shouldn't bother me. I don't know why this time around he was doing what he wasn't supposed to do.

He closed the door behind him and walked up to me. My desk was a mess. Papers were scattered around and an empty bottle was lying around. Drinking away shouldn't be the solution but it felt like the perfect cure to my messed-up brain. "We need to talk, Sir."

"And I told you to get out." I threw back. His eyes lingered on me as if trying to think of what to say next. "If it's about Mr. Benson, we are no longer doing business with him. He's an asshole. I don't work with brainless people." I continued.

Kelvin went silent. I shifted my eyes away from him and walked up to my office refrigerator, taking out a bottle of vodka. I had been drinking normal beer. Something strong should keep my head in check. "It's about you." Kelvin finally broke stopping the pouring of my drink on the class cup midair. I later continued and filled it up, before fixing my eyes on him again.

I grabbed my seat. "What is about me?" I quipped.

"You're not yourself. And I'm worried, Sir."

"Thanks for the concern, Kelvin." Was what I said, sipping my drink.

I heard him take a deep breath. "Why don't you release her?" It took an ounce of me not to pour the remaining drink on his face. "I mean since we know she's not directly connected to Dominic but her father. There's no point in keeping her here and making things difficult. She seems pretty not herself."

I adjusted my sitting position, the way I was facing him completely. "You know, you're the closest to me among the rest. Marco and Elijah. But sometimes I feel like I've made a mistake by making you my trusted man. I think you're crazy." He was taken aback by my outburst.
