Different But Loved

Chapter 4

We get home and everyone heads to their room. Just for your information Mike hates wearing suits even if he looks good in them but the reason why I'm tell you this is because he's already in his boxer.

He took off his suit jacket, dress shirt, tie in the truck and slid his pants off once we enter the house.

Uncle Richard was chuckling behind me as he saw Mike. I was already use to it. I go to my room and change out of the dress. I was so tired because the children for some reason were hyper.

I turn off my lights and start to play Bob Marley 'Is This Love'.

He was my favorite singer plus the song 'Three Little Bitds' helps me calm down when I have panic attacks. I haven't had any this month but for sure if I thought of it I would have one.

As I lay on my bed I close my eyes to take a nap. Hearing the door open I imagine Jason checking on me. That was the last thing before sleep took me.

***
Iwan POV.

I watch as she closes her eyes.

F*ck! What the hell is going on with me!

Since the first day I saw Maya... How can you f*cking explain it.

Was love at first sight?

I know my dad said she would be a wonderful wife but before that I imagined her more of a bitchy girl. Loud mouth, disrespectful. Gold-digger like every other girl I've dated.

Why? Because my dad would always say that she always got what she wanted. She lives like a princess.

But no she is quite, calm, beautiful, and mine? She will be mine and only mine.

My father has planned this for a while. Once she turns eighteen next week she will move in with us back in Michigan and become my wife. I will keep her safe.

Yes her mother agree for her being married to me but her father isn't much in agreement but he can't do anything about it.

The reason why my father wants me to marry her is so he can keep his adopted sister and her family safe. If she isn't blood with us she can't be protected by us.

You see in the mafia you have to be family so you can be protected but if you're not they can't do anything. My father loves his sister and at first she didn't care until something bad happen and she agreed.

I lay next to her wrapping my arm around her nice curved waist. I burry my face into the crook of her neck and inhale her scent. She smells so fucking good.

When I watched her as she took care of those kids I just wanted to put one inside her. She was great at it.

Call me crazy but this is the first time I ever felt this way for a girl. A girl that I don't even know what's her favorite music or what her favorite food is. I know nothing about Maya only that she will be my wife.

My thoughts are cut off when I feel her turn around, she is facing me and she wraps her arm around me while her head is against my chest.

Her warmth is amazing and calming. I close my eyes and drift off to sleep with the girl I will bw soon married.

"Please stop! Please don't hurt her. Kill me instead just please don't hurt her."

I open my eyes to the sound of her panic voice. I jump out of her bed only to see her having a nightmare. I see tear stain on her cheeks.

I lay against her small trembling body and hug her tightly making her instantly relax, her crying ease and her panic stop.

I feel her stiffen and I know she's awake. "Are you okay?" I ask her.

She quickly turns around and wraps her arms around my neck.

"I'm the reason she's dead. It's all my fault."

I hug her as she crys on my shoulders. I run my hands through her hair. Who is she talking about?

I loosen my grip on her but she hugs me tighter than she did before and I kind of want to laugh but the situation we are isn't funny right now.

"Please don't leave me."

Those words for some reason sadden me, it breaks my heart.

"I will never let you go baby. Never."

Alex, Henry and Maya are at school while Mike and Jason are at work. House seems calm and I'm just waiting for my dad to end his call with my aunt.

I turn off the TV as I hear him walk into the kitchen.

"Dad I need to talk to you." I get up from the couch and head to the kitchen. He is sitting on one of the stools as he runs the bridge of his nose.

"Your aunt... My sister... God she needs help! She needs to stop being a fucking whore!" He growls and you could see he was annoyed

Thats true. My aunt isn't old she's 24 and like every month she calls my dad always saying and I quote.

"He was the one and broke my heart! Richie show him not to mess with me!"

I mean, yes I love her but she's always a needy person. And today she called again due to another breakup.

"What do you need syn.?" (Syn:son)

I clear my throat and sit beside him. "Maya?-"

He cuts me off which makes me mad.

"She's a beautiful young lady. A wonderful wife. She knows how to cook, clean, and all those things ladies do. You like her, yes?"

"She's perfect but I want to know what happened. She had a nightmare and she said it was her fault for the death of someone."

I felt his body tense and I could tell he was angry and my dad being angry isn't anything pleasant to see. I have witnessed it at first hand.

"I love Maya dearly Iwan and thats why I want you to marry her and protect her with everything you got. YOU HEAR ME!" He rubs his temples and looks my way.

He lets out a sigh and continues.

"Remember when your grandfather and I were in a war with the Salvadorians?"

"Yes the twins and I were in Russia back then."

That war was the worst we ever had. I mean two powerful people against each other can cause WWIII. Everything calmed down when Don Jesus and my father made a deal.

To kill the traitor.

The traitor was my father's nephew. My cousin. He was a drug addict and he did some stupid shit. You don't fuck shit up if you're in the mafia.

Never.

"It happen while we were in war."
