reina de la mafia(DISCONTINUED)

|~Chapter 24~|

"What did you just say?...." I froze.

"I love you Lori?" She repeated.

"Who are you?" I ask.

I lowered her to the ground. She had to be 8 or 9 years old.

"It's me, your cousin!" She smiles.

"Esmeray is dead. You're lying."

"No im not! It's really me Lori!" She burst into tears.

I decided that I would just talk about it once she settled into her new home. She was only small anyway. I picked her up, she dug her face into my neck.

"Let's go. Is everyone out?" I ask, turning towards the boys.

"Yeah we can leave." Emiliano came beside me. He kissed my temple and we left.

I reach the car and get into the back. The two boys in front. The little girl sat in my knee, her face still in my neck. As we drove off, I noticed her breathing softened.

I soon realised she fell asleep. Not long after, I nod off too.

"My love, we are home." I was awoken by a kiss to my forehead.

I jolted up, seeing Emiliano. My face softened as I began to get out the car. I was still holding this young girl. I clutched her tightly. She was still fast asleep.

Once we reached home, I took her upstairs immediately to the guest bedroom. The room was like mine but without a bathroom. It was right next to mine.

I set her down gently and wrap her up in the covers.

" goodnight." I whisper.

I close the door and head to my room. I change into some comfy clothes and lay on my bed. I got under the blanket.

My door swung open, revealing Em. He shut the door and leaped onto my bed.

"Woah what the fuck!" I giggled.

"Im spending the night with you since you have the biggest room in the house."

"Brilliant." I smile.

He lay down and wrapped his arms around me then pulled me to his chest. I dig my head into his chest and dosed off.

~~~~~
I woke up at about 4 am. I couldn't sleep knowing that there is an imposter sleeping in the next room. I slowly detached myself from Em.

I reach the top of the stairs and decided to go down and pay father a visit. I hadn't seen him in awhile so why not eh?

I crept slowly and softly down the old wooden stairs leading to the cells.

"Guards, wake him up with the tasers" I ordered.

The two men rushed into the room, one at each side of my father. I nod and they both tase my father's shoulders. He howls in pain and they stop.

"What the fuck!" He yells.

I stand there for a second with my arms folded. "Good morning to you too geez."

He rolls his eyes before continuing. "Could've just used words. I didn't need to be tased twice!" He rattles against the chains holding him down.

"There was no need for the yelling." I bark.

"You fucking tased me! What did you expect?" He growls.

"Geez looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the chair." I slap his face.

"Besides. I have a little girl upstairs. Esmeray. Ring a bell?" I bent to his level.

"No. I killed her when she was 4. That was 4 years ago." He shakes his head.

I grab his neck. "What did you do to the real Esmeray?"

"You think I'd tell you?" He manages to breathe out as my grip tightens.

"I want the truth only or another hand goes missing." I threaten.

"Fine, I let her go. I couldn't kill a 4 year old. Her memory was wiped and she was put in an orphanage." I let him go.

"And that's the truth?" I question.

"Yes I swear on my dead mamas grave!"

I nod slowly and turn towards the door.

"Guards. Put him into a agonising sleep." I ordered.

After they beat him and tortured him, he passed out. They came out the cell and locked it. I thank the guards and leave.

As I reach the stairs, I see a dark, small figure. Esmeray.

"My darling niece. What are you doing awake at this time?" I say while jogging up the stairs.

"I had a bad dream! I'm scared." She cried.

"Hey, Esme it's ok." I picked her up and headed towards her room.

"I'll lay with you for awhile." I opened her bedroom door.

I set her down, closing the door and brought her to the bed. She climbs in first, me following. She cuddled up to me and slowly drifted to sleep.

I listened to her breathing for a minute. Just making sure she was okay sleeping. I sat and played with her hair.

The door shot open and I reach for the gun in my bra. I aim at the door.

"Don't. It's me again!" Ems voice panicked.

"Sh. She's sleeping." I put the gun back in my bra.

"You always sleep with a gun in your bra?" He asks and he came in and shut the door.

"For safety reasons." I whisper.

"What are you doing." He sat on the edge of the bed.

"I'm comforting my niece."

"I thought you didn't believe her." He shot me a confused look. I could barely see but the light shining through the window helped me.

"I went to see my dad. I couldn't sleep because I thought Esme was an imposter so I went to see him. After some strangling I found out he wiped her memory and brought her to an orphanage. She doesn't remember me but I want to make sure she will. Anyway as I was coming up the stairs she was at the top crying. I rushed up and turned out she had a nightmare and wanted me to sleep with her." I explained.

"I was listening but that accent really turns me on." He whispered.

"You're always thinking about sex." I half smiled.

"Can't argue with that." He laughs softly.

"Whats sex?" A small voice muttered as Esme sat up slowly.

"You don't need to know that yet. Maybe when you're 14." I smile down to her as em turns on the light.

My eyes adjust to the light as she lay her head down on my chest.

"Lori. Why do you call me your niece?" Esme asked.

"Your memory was wiped but before it was, you were and still are my niece. My oldest brother had you but my father has kinda cut contact with him and decided to put you in an orphanage." I explained slowly.

"Oh. I'm sorry I forgot you. I don't remember much but sometimes I get small memories of some people." She played with my hand.

"Well, it's amazing that you're starting to see more memorises. Maybe one day you will have your memory back." Em finally spoke up.

"Yeah hopefully. Can you turn the light off. I'm really tired." Esme yawned.

"You can come lay with us." I scooted over.

He came and lay with his arm wrapped around me. Esme clung to my chest and held my hand. Her breathing softened. I listened as I started to drift off, shortly after the both of them.
