The Mafia In Love

Part 34

All I could do was stare at her. At them. At the same time, I wasnt too suprised, after all, shes been with them since God knows how long.

Did I feel a bit hurt? Fuck yes. Luciana knows damn well that if I knew Dante was this sketchy, I wouldn't have gotten involved with him in the first place.

"More surprises, huh? It just keeps coming" I scoffed at them. I couldn't even express how twisted my head felt at this moment. All I just wanted to know was what the fuck Dante does because having a bodyguard in your own home is way beyond a CEO.

"Willa, I swear I was going to-"

"Tell me? So were now adding to the lies?" I angrily cut her off, glaring at her.

"You knew how frustrated I was that night. I ranted to you and Reina, expressing how angry I felt about how suspicious he was acting. What did you tell me? To loosen the fuck up knowing fully well why I was that way in the first place".

Dante seemed to stiffen up at my words but I paid him no mind. I didnt have energy for his nonsense right now.

"To be honest, I dont even care anymore. The only thing I need to know is what the fuck you do for a living".

I angrily pointed at him.

"Willa-"

"You better stay out of this Luciana". I warned her. How dare her even have the audacity to expect me to calm down.

"Bellisima". Dante calmly called me, staring at me with such eyes that would make my anger fade in a second.

I looked away, refusing to match his gaze because if I do, I know all my anger will be washed down. He just has such effect on me and I heavaily despise it to my bones.

"Dante, dont lie to me. You've already caused enough damage, I think its only fair I deserve to know what is going on".

And I was replied with silence. I fisted my hands, scoffing. Thisbis such a waste of time.

I angrily climbed the stairs, wanting to go back to wherever I woke up from until his answer stopped me.

"Mafia". I stopped moving, replaying his words to see if I was truly hallucinating what I heard. No, theres no way their.. real? Arent they only in books?

I quickly turned around, finally staring into his eyes and I felt a tug in my heart. I've never seen him look so distressed before. His hair was surely not in place, his eyes were red and puffy. Was he crying?

"Can we actually be serious for once. I'm not in the mood for games. We all know they only exist in books". I voiced out, silently hoping they would agree with me which was actually the latter.

I stared at them, wondering why nobody was giving me an answer. I rubbed my sweaty hands, attempting to dry them off.

"I'm not lying to you. I'd never lie to you". Dante said, coming towards the stairs.

"Funny because that's what you did since the day we met". I reminded him, scoffing at the words he said, making him frown.

"Can you just be truthful for once. At least redeem yourself, Dante. What the fuck do you mean Mafia? Do you realise how absurd that sounds?"

I probably sounded scared but who cares? We all know the Mafia is involved with a lot of shady business so my reaction is very justified.

"I'm not lying to you. Im-"

"You're what!?" I angrily asked. Tried of the back and forth.

"I'm the Don of the Italian Mafia".

Once again, it felt like I was heavily slapped across the face. I didnt realise my mouth was hung open in shock. I was trying to even fathom how I got myself involved in this.

How is it possible that I always avoided men and the one time I decide to give it a try, I end up with the a Mafia don?

"So... I'm guessing that's why Giovanni shot that man the way he did". I said, looking at him.

I sighed, rubbing my head. I've never had such headache like this my entire life. Everything was just coming in so fast, I could barely even grasp enough.

"It all makes sense now" I scoffed, staring into Dante's eyes.

"The way you reacted that night. It's because of this, right? I'm guessing that Russian fucker is also involved with the Mafia for him to warn me about you".

"I wanted to tell you. I really did". He confessed, coming up the stairs to meet me.

"That's why you treated me like shit on our way home. I was only curious, Dante. Like any normal person would and what did you do? You insulted me". I bitterly said to him, feeling tears forming in my eyes.

"I was doing it to protect you. You would have been a target to get to me".

"And look where that got you". I frowned at him.

A saddened look formed on his face. I cursed myself for feeling bad for him. I have every right to behave the way I'm behaving. Everything that has happened the night before and now has been absolutely insane to even imagine.

I sighed. I dont even know how to feel right now. I'm meant to be angry. Furious at him, even. I just feel... lost. What's going to happen now? What's going to happen to us?

"Can we talk? In private?". I stared at him in disbelief. Is he being for real right now? He should know that if he comes any closer, I'd smash his head on the nearest surface around me and he knew, he saw the way I reacted to his question.

"Please, Bellisima. I dont think I'll be at peace with myself if I dont explain myself".

I fisted my hands again. A part of me didnt want to even see him, but another part of me was telling me to give him a chance to explain himself.

"Please, Willa. The last thing I'd ever want is for what we have to end. Let me explain myself".

My eyes slightly widened. He rarely ever used my real name. I gave him a side glance, my heart fastening even at a horrible time like this.

"Fine".
