Mafia Men III: Marino

Chapter 43

Ellie POV

I waited for my chance to go see Micheal. Miles wasn't here yet but I heard from the other caterers that Micheal had been here. I grabbed my tray went to the meeting room he was located in and was about to knock on the door. Soon I felt an arm jerk me back and press me into the wall. I looked and saw Cameron. He looked furious. He grabbed the tray from my hand and put it down dragging me away from the door down the hallway. I struggled in his grip.

"Cameron" I said and he was seething with anger

"What did I say to you Ellie?" He asked as his jaw clenched

"I'm not standing by and letting him do this" I said to Cam.

"God I want to choke you right now. Do you realize that he will kill you? Micheal will kill you Ellie!" He yelled

"I'm okay with that." I said "he's hurting Miles. Let me do this. You-" I stopped myself before I said anything hurtful.

"Say it Ellie. Say I need to let you go. Say I care too much. You know what I'll say it. I need to let you go but I care about you Ellie so I can't. Is that insane to say? You made your choice and I will get over it and you, but I will not sit by and let you get yourself killed for him." Cameron said

"That's not your choice" I said and he backed me up into the wall.

"What is that?" He asked

"What? What are you talking about?" I asked nervously and he reached behind me. I struggled in his grip and he felt the metal at my waist.

His eyes widened and then he narrowed his eyes at me.
"What are you planning? huh? You're going to waltz in there and what? It suicide Ellie." He said

"I'm doing this." I said staring in his eyes and he stared into mine. His jaw clenched and his eyes went down to my lips then back to my eyes.

He backed up from me. "Fine let's go." He said turning towards the door

"Wait what are you doing?" I asked grabbing his arm

"We're going to do it your way. You won't let this go. I know it. So I won't let you do this alone." He said

"Cameron no. If he kills you..." I started

"Then he kills me." He said and I shook my head running to stand in front of him. He looked down at me.

"No, I won't allow it-" I started

"Are we friends?" He asked me and I looked at him confused but nodded. We were.

"Well I may not be experienced in this friend thing but friends don't let friends march to their deaths alone. So if you go, I go." Cam said and I felt my vision get blurry

"I can't lose you but I can't lose him either. It'll kill me." I said to him and he smiled softly running his hand on my cheek.

"I know." He said "What we can do is go back and plan this together-"

"Plan what exactly." I heard a deep voice and turned to see the one and only man in the way of my happiness.

Micheal

"We were just leaving." Cameron said grabbing my hand and pulling me to see men standing behind us. He cursed under his breath.

"Cameron." Micheal said and he turned to him "And you must be Ellie. Let's meet in the office. Miles should be on his way soon to join the party."

———-

I sat down on the chair as guards held Cameron back. They took his gun after patting him down but didn't pat me down.

"You are far more beautiful in person Ellie" Micheal said sitting down across from me. His eyes wandered down my legs. "That's the part where you say thank you love"

"Fuck you" I said to him

"Ellie" Cameron warned

Micheal smirked. "I shouldn't be excited by two measly words but God you got fire. I wonder if your eyes light up like that too when you're coming."

I was disgusted by him. "You'll never know asshole."

He smirked. "So what do I owe the visit? I'm sure Miles has no clue you are here let alone being difficult." he said then took a sip of his drink

"Let Miles go." I said

"Miles is free dear. I'm not holding him against his will." He said

"Yes you are. By threatening me you are." I said

He smirked. "Damian Carters life was very expensive. Miles agreed to work for me for three years. I do intend to keep him for all three." He said

"Fine." I said standing up and pulling the gun on him

His guards grabbed their guns pointing them at me.
Cameron fought the guards holding him. "Ellie stop" he begged

Micheal smirked. "Ballsy I knew I liked you." He said "Now put the gun down before you hurt yourself sweetheart"

I fired the gun inches away from him and he crouched. He looked up at me angrily. If looks could kill I would've been dead.

"It looks like you are the one that should be concerned about getting hurt."I said

"You bitch." He growled"I will kill you."

Soon the door opened and in came Miles. He took in the whole situation. He looked at me scared. I could feel the fear in his gaze.

"Matter of fact. I think I will let you do it since it is your job. No more nice guy. I want you to kill her." Micheal said to Miles. Miles looked at him with fury in his eyes.

"No" he said

"Fine then I'll have my men line up and fuck her while you watch." Micheal said and I felt the weight of his words. The amount of trouble I was in. The guards held Miles back and he struggled in their grip. They brought him to his knees.

Miles stared at me and I looked at him.
"I'm sorry Miles. I got us here. I can't stand by and let him continue to use you like this." I said crying and he nodded

"It's okay darling. Let her go" He said to Micheal

"That bitch almost shot me" Micheal said and Miles jaw clenched "No one takes a shot at me and survives. Now kill her"

"I'll work for you. Indefinitely." He said and I looked at Miles

"No" I said holding the gun still to Micheal "That's not happening. You're not wasting yourself for this waste of space."

Micheal's nostrils flared as he looked at me.
"Ellie" Miles groaned "Think about it Micheal. You'll have me as long as I'm alive. I'll kill for you. Please don't make me do this."

"Interesting offer" He said "But I won't debate it until you make her put the gun down."
