Mafia Boss✔

(38) He Doesn't Have an Army

I watched him as he sat down next to me at the table for dinner one night.

"What are you thinking Royalty?" he asked me

I looked up at him as his green eyes stared at me with concern.

"Nothing." I lied and turned back to the pasta I was eating

"Don't lie to me Ro." he turned my head back to face him with his index finger

"I was just thinking about him." I replied looking anywhere but into his eyes "I miss him Damanico. I want to go back and try to make up with him again. I want to be back in his arms with him whispering how much he loves me in my ear. I want him Damanico."

Damanico looked at me softly and I turned away from him again.

"Royalty-" he started but I cut him off

"Jennifer ruined everything." I said before getting up and leaving my dinner half finished "I still love him."

I went up to my room and threw myself on the bed.

Xavier!!

Damanico's POV

"What's wrong?" Neveah asked me sensing that I wasn't in the mood as we made out later that night

I sighed and sat up on the edge of the bed.

"Damanico." she wrapped her arms around my waist from behind and snuggled against my back "Are you alright? Talk to me baby."

"It's Royalty." I said softly

"What's wrong?" she softly questioned

"She's missing your brother badly." I told her "She's love-sick. You know the feeling you get right after a break-up? The one where you miss the person so bad after you've gotten so use to them? She's going through it now and she's so miserable. She zones out on me sometimes and I know her mind is on him."

Neveah was quiet and I knew she was thinking on what to say carefully.

"We can't force them to get back." she finally broke the deafening silence "It's their choice but I know Xavier wants her back too. He may be with Jennifer but I can see through him and I know he wants her. We just have to find a way for them to confess again to each other and get Jennifer out the picture."

"What's going on over there with her anyway?"

"I overheard Chrissy and Jianan talking one morning about how she must have stopped following Cardinal's orders."

"He would kill her."

"What?"

"He kills anyone who doesn't follow his rules and Jennifer knows she's hunted now."

"Why would he-"

"He's afraid they sell him out and Jennifer has a really strong will despite her sickness."

"You know about that?"

"Yes. I knew she was taking pills when she was a little kid. She would play with Lucario and I and she like a little sister. Sadly, she turned because of Cardinal's influence."

"Do you feel sorry for her?"

I went silent for a while.

"Yes and no." I truthfully answered "She's an innocent human whose weakness was used as her weapon and no because although Luca and I tried to make her realized her wrongs she grew more and more selfish and conceited and clung to Cardinal although she knew the truth."

"She knew Cardinal was using her?"

"Yep."

"Why the hell didn't she run?"
