Taken By The Mafia

Chapter 13

Deborah pov
I kept walking along the shore. Just thinking. I thought about how my life would be perfect if David weren't in it. If only I weren't involved with a Mafia that threatened you. If only someone understands me. If only I have a knight to save me from David. Someone brave enough to fight him. Someone that loves me, someone that I also love. I was shocked when David let go of my hand. I didn't think that he would ever do that. I'm glad that he did, or I would've gone off on him. That will probably cause my family's death. He will probably make it seem like an accident.

I don't know how long I was sitting on a big rock because it's started to get dark. Since I don't want to get kidnapped like last time, I just got up and went back to my room. I bet everyone already left and probably is about to go to sleep.
I slowly open the door. Hopefully, David is asleep. I do not have time to deal with him right now. The room was dark, so David is probably asleep. I tipped toe in and made sure to lock the door. As I was tip-toeing over to the bathroom, the light suddenly turns on.
There stood David watching me. His eyes were filled with anger as usual.
"Why did you just come back now?" He asked. I stare at him, not knowing what to do.
"I just wanted some alone time," I said.
He stared at me for a couple of minutes. For once, I saw guilty or love in his eyes—twisted love.
"Deborah, if you have any problems, you can tell me, love," he said as he walks over to me.
I thought he would know by now that he is my problem.
"I don't," I said and laughed nervously.
"Then why did you just got up and left during dinner?" He asks.
I felt bad that I did that. I just did that because of Edward, but I should've thought about it first before just leaving.
"I just- I don't know," I mumble. He looks down at me and cress my cheeks.
"Why do I have to love you so much?" He asks.
This man truly believes that he loves me. We could've become close, and maybe I would have fallen in love with him, but instead, he forced me into this.
"It's crazy how a girl can change me. Whenever I'm with you, I have no intention of killing someone. I can control myself. It's crazy how I can love someone more than myself. I wish that you can do the same, but it seems like it's too difficult for you. You're still young; you probably wouldn't want to settle down with one person, especially someone like me. I didn't mean to force you into this. I just wanted you all for myself before someone else gets you. I didn't want you to hate me. I wanted you to love me as much as I love you," he said while looking into my eyes.

I just stare at him. A guy has never told me that he loves me so much before. For a moment, I got carried away. I then came back to my senses. Remembering that he is a Mafia. He ruined my life. He killed people, he threatens me, I don't love him.
"Ahum, I should go wash up," I said and sprint to the bathroom. I look at myself in the mirror. My face is heating up. I almost fell for him. The whole time while I was taking a shower, I reminded myself that he ruined my life.
Next Day
I was woken by someone kissing my face. I open my eyes to see David staring at me. His eyes were calm instead of cold. I just awkwardly stare at him.
"I love you," he said while still staring into my eyes.
I looked at him blankly. I realize that he has always said that he loves me, but I never had once said a thing.
"We should go get breakfast," I said and immediately got up. As I walk over to the restroom, I heard David let out a sigh. Probably annoyed.
As I was putting on my makeup and doing my hair, David watch me from behind. He stares at me like I was an artwork or something. His face looks calm and gentle.
"I will be leaving in the afternoon," he said, and I look at him with a shocking eye. Why is he leaving so early? Is he going to take me with him? Better not, this is a family vacation.
"Why? I mean, we still have a couple more days," I said. He shook his head.
"I have some work to do; you can stay if you want," he said.
Sudden happiness lit up inside of me, but I tried not to look happy.
"Ok, I want to stay," I said. He looked at me suspiciously.
"I don't know. Edward and Simon might flirt with you. Maybe I should just take you with me," he said, making me pout.
"No, no, pleaseeee, besides its family vacation. I don't want my family to be here alone; I want to spend some time with them," I said.
He still looks at me suspiciously, trying to figure out whether he should trust me or not.
I finish my makeup and walk over to him.
"Please, David," I said as I started sucking on his neck, making him groan.
"Fine, but you have to do me a favor," he said and lifted me in a bridal style.
He took us back to the bedroom and lay me down on the bed. That's when his favor starts.
1 hour later
David roll beside me after his so call favor is finish. I breathe heavily, and I swear my makeup is ruined now.
"Well, I better get ready. I have to leave in 45 minutes," he said and kissed my forehead. I also got up and put on my clothes that were lying on the floor.
After I was done fixing myself, we headed outside and saw my sisters in the clear water with Simon. He is such a flirt.
"Hey, where are you guys heading?" Simon asked.
"I'm leaving, and you better not touch my wife when I'm gone," David said with a serious tone, making Simon shut his mouth. David intertwine our fingers while we head to where his jet is. He made sure that all the people on the beach or stands know that I belong to him. He would kiss me when he sees males looking at me.
Finally, we reach his jet, and he looks at me. It looks like he doesn't want to leave me or let go of my hand. I, on the other hand, try to get away from him as quickly as possible.
"David, we're going to see each other in 2 days," I said as I pull away from his tight grip.
"I know, but I'm going to miss you," he said and started to kiss my lips while his guards awkwardly stare at us.
"David, there are people here," I mumble through the kisses.
"Fine," he growls and let's go.
"I'll make sure to call you when I land," he said. I nod and smile at him.
He gives me one last peck on my lip before getting in the jet.
I watch as it flies away. Finally, I can do whatever I want for 2 days.
I ran back to my room and put on my swimsuit. I haven't been able to swim because David wouldn't let me wear this kind of clothes.
I put on a swimsuit and made sure to wear something over it.

After I got ready, I headed out to the shore to take some pictures and play with the little waves.
"I see you're finally enjoying yourself," I heard someone said.
I hope it's not who I think it is. I turn around to see Edward. I guess I'm still mad at him, but it's not his fault, though; I shouldn't be mad at him. If the choices that life, then let it be.
"Hi," I said awkwardly after being stared at by Edward from head to toe.
"You look stunning," he said and sat on one of the big rocks by I sat on the other. We both stare at the ocean quietly. I guess he didn't know what to say. Perhaps he is afraid that I might not want to befriend him anymore since he is now a Mafia.
"Look, Deborah, I'm sorry if I surprised you. My dad is getting old; I'm his only hope," Edward said.
I feel his eyes on me, but I just kept staring at the ocean. I don't want to make eye contact with him at all.
"I don't know. It's your choice; you don't have to explain anything to me," I said.
I heard him let out a frustrated sound.
"But I want to explain this to you; I don't want you to be mad at me..... Or avoid me," he said sadly.
I bite my lower lips, not knowing what to say. Edward is an enjoyable person and a very nice friend. I wouldn't want to lose him either. Besides, he is the only friend that I can see now.
"Edward, it's fine. You helped me with a lot of things. Besides, you're like my best friend now," I said and smiled at him.
"Friends?" He mumbles.
I nodded and looked back at the ocean.
The rest of the afternoon I spent with Edward. He is very nice and fun to hang with. We would joke around and get food. He would treat me like a lady. I don't know; it's something about Edward that I just like hanging with. He makes me feel comfortable, even though he is a Mafia.
"You know, you're the first girl that I am so open to," he said as we watch the sun goes down.
"Don't you have like a first love or someone that you like before?" I asked and took a sip from my coconut drink.
"I don't take the relationship seriously. I just have fun," he said, making me chuckle.
"What about you?" He asks.
I let out a nervous laugh.
"Well... I did date a guy in high school, and he is sort of like my first love. We broke up, and now I'm married to David," I said.
Edward looks at me intensely like he was trying to figure out something.
"You were force into this," he all of a sudden said, making me widen my eyes.
"I know that you don't love him, Deborah," he said.
I still have my mouth shut.
"I mean, it doesn't matter now; I'm married to him," I said awkwardly.
"But you don't love him," Edward said.
I started to tense up for some reason.
"You want someone that you love," Edward muttered as he leads closer to me.
"I do, but" I didn't get to finish my sentence because I felt Edward's soft lips on mine. I was shocked. I just sat there, not knowing what to do. This man just kisses me even though he knows that my husband is a Mafia.
After that long awkward moment, Edward finally broke the kiss.
"But you're scared to leave him," he said, and I nod as I felt my tears roll down.
"I don't want him to hurt my family," I whisper.
"If you let me, I will be the man who gets you out of this hell hole," Edward said, and he grabbed my hand. Then he places it on his chest. I felt his heart beating really fast.
"Just tell me when you're ready to come to me," he said.
