My Mafia Brothers

Chp 5:Home sweet home

The car door opened, and Vincenzo climbed in. I scooted over, sitting as far away from him as possible, and leaned my head against the window. Thankfully, he remained silent, not acknowledging me, and pulled out his laptop. Exhausted from constant crying and stress, I succumbed to sleep.

Unfortunately, my slumber was disrupted by terrifying dreams of my parents' death and my mother's haunting wails. A deep voice calling my name, "Isabella," jolted me awake. I opened my eyes to find Vincenzo's gaze on me. The harsh reality crashed down on me - I was sitting in a car with my parents' murderers. My breath quickened and I placed my palm on my chest trying to calm my racing heart.

He extended his hand to place it on my shoulder, but I stiffened, and he halted mid-air. "I'm okay," I spat, turning away. "We're about to reach the airport," he said. I nodded, gazing out the window. Within five minutes, we arrived at the airport. My door was opened by a bodyguard who had been sitting in the front.

As I stepped out of the car, I saw a private plane waiting for us. Carlo swept past me with Matteo, while Vincenzo gestured for me to follow. I trailed behind my brothers. The plane's interior was stunning - they could afford a private plane, wealthy.

Comfy armchairs surrounded a table. My brothers took their seats without sparing me a glance. I wished they would ignore me until I found a way to escape. I could not bear the thought of living with merciless killers.Their proximity made me nauseous.

I sat in an armchair, distancing myself from the three of them. I knew they were monitoring my every move. Weakness consumed me; I hadn't slept properly in two days. A mix of emotions swirled inside me - hate, anger, grief - and one dominant desire: revenge.

My pounding headache began to overwhelm me. I yearned to yell and fight, but exhaustion held me back. Questions swirled in my mind, and I felt on the verge of exploding.Tears started slipping from my eyes and I slipped into unconscious wishing to die and this pain to end.

I opened my eyes to see myself covered in a blanket and surrounded by cozy pillows.
"Are you alright miss?"
I blinked my eyes again.
A young petite woman who seemed to be in her twenties with beautiful blonde hair neatly arranged in a bun looked at me with concern.

"Hi "I replied bleakly.

"Would you like anything to eat miss"She asked politely.
"No thankyou I am not hungry"I said though my stomach said the opposite but I wasn't feeling like eating anything.

"A glass of water would be good though"
She went away to fetch me water I got up from my place .

My head was throbbing with a nasty headache.

The woman came back with water and I downed it in one gulp quenching my parched throat.

"Thank you"
"I'm Isabella"
"Tara "
"Nice to meet you Tara" I said giving her a smile .

"Um do you know where are they?

She gave me a puzzled look before realising who I was talking about.

"Bar "

"Oh okay " wow they are loaded.I thought

"When do we land"

" In about two hours Miss"

"Okay , thanks"

"If you need me I'm just a bell away " she said pointing towards a bell on the door .

"Sure"
I heaved a sigh as I plopped on the couch thing .I never knew ,it didn't even cross my mind never thought about losing them forever.I was so heartbroken to leave them and live with my biological brothers,there was a possibility of seeing them, talking to them .But now there's is nothing left .They are gone forever.I lost both of my parents in a day in a matter of moments.I watched my father's lifeless body collapse on the floor blood trickling down his face,the light leave his eyes.Those eyes , which used to shine whenever my mother was around with happiness,which used to give me courage and look at me with utmost love .My mother , shouting at me to stay away from her,as she put gun against her head and pull the trigger taking her own life.My mother who loved me so much ,who always gave me hugs and kisses, taught me to always  be kind made with the person I am today.I couldn't block out those memories no matter how hard I tried.My face was wet with tears flowing down my face .I felt suffocated .I wanted the pain gone like it never happened,I wanted to die .
