Mafia Men IV: Rossi

Chapter 41

Lia POV

I darted out the door and down the alley way in my heels. He was right behind me. I ran as fast as I could and jumped over the debris in the alleys. I knew he was faster than me but if I could make it to the car then I would be safe. I cut a corner quickly and he ran into some boxes. I hurried past a dumpster and tripped hitting my side on it. The pain in my side flared and soon I felt him grab me and slam me into the wall. His hand wrapped around my neck and I fought him. His hand tightened around my throat and I clawed at his hand. This was the end. He would kill me. And then I realized it. This was what I wanted. This was all I wanted for the last four months. I dropped my hands and closed my eyes as I felt no air coming in and he let go. I gasped for air and I opened my eyes.

"No please. Finish the job Cameron. Do it. Please" I cried and he looked at me puzzled "Please finish it."

"Aren't you happy now? Now that you're with who you want" He said and his jaw clenched

"I'd be happier dead"I said

"Your fairy tale didn't end well huh?" He asked smirking

"If you're not going to kill me just let me go. I have to go back soon" I said moving away from him but he backed me up into the wall again

He cocked his head to the side. "Why do you want to die?" He asked

"It doesn't matter Cameron." I said and his jaw clenched

"You pushed me away four months ago and you can't give me that. You know what I think. I think you're the coward. You're the weak one. Yeah I loved you and you played me so well. You had me wrapped around your finger and when you got what you wanted you pushed me aside. I'm not weak for caring about you. You're weak for pretending you cared. For faking it all." He said and I looked at him as the tears blurred my vision
"You wanted his attention so badly that you fucked me and then went right back to him. Maybe you are a slut. Maybe you wanted him to see you like one so he'd finally have the balls to fuck you"

I slapped him and his jaw clenched.
"Fuck you" I said as the tears ran down my face

"Did he?" He asked

"Doesn't matter now right. Since I'm a slut right!" I said to him

"Answer the fucking question!" He yelled gripping my neck again and I saw the pain in his eyes. I looked at him shaking my head.

"No he didn't" I said "I never wanted him to touch me. Only you"

He stared me in my eyes almost to see if I was lying.
"Stop it. Stop lying to me!" he yelled hitting the wall behind me and I closed my eyes as the tears fell "I haven't picked up the pieces of my life ever since. The least..the least you can do is be honest with me right now ."

"I haven't either. I woke up everyday for the last four months hoping I was dead. Hoping that this was all some nightmare, yet it still was but I was awake. I hoped that you ran through that door and saw that everything I said to you was an absolute lie, yet it didn't happen. You can hate me. I hate me too for saying those things to you, but like you I can go
on with you hating me forever. I can live with that. What I can't live with is you not on this earth not breathing. Like you said if you aren't here I won't be either. So I rather you hate me everyday until your last dying breath than know that my selfishness put you in the ground." I said crying and he stepped closer to me. His face was inches from mine and his hold on my neck was looser.

"He threatened you with my life." he said putting it all together

"Four months ago he showed me a live video of you standing outside of a car in front of a library talking with Tyler. The..guy h..had his gun targeted at you and you didn't see it. He told me either let you die or I let you go and I chose to let you go." I said crying and he wiped my tears.
