Jensen ( completed)

Chapter 22

Lynn's POV

I looked at Cornelius in complete shock. What did he mean he was the Don of the Roman mafia? None of this was making any sense. If he was mafia, then why did my brother or me never know? I felt sick and the room started to spin. I could feel my legs starting to give out, but before I hit the ground someone caught me. The last thing I remember was seeing Cornelius yelling at whoever caught me. "Take her to my office and lay her on the couch." I wasn't out too long, but when I came to Dillion was standing by me and Cornelius was talking with Felix. I started to sit up and Dillion immediately turned to me. 

"Lynn are you okay?" He knelt down next to me and I nodded at him. 

"I am fine Dillion. Can you give us a minute please?" I asked him. He seemed to hesitate, but nodded and left the room.

    Cornelius and Felix stood next to the desk across from me and watched me. I completely sat up on the couch and stared at them. I was still trying to process everything that had happened and what Cornelius has told me. After a moment Cornelius spoke first. "Lynn, I know that you must have a lot of questions and I will answer any of them for you, but I need you to tell me what is going on. My family is in danger now and I need to know what I am dealing with." I put my face in my hands and took a deep breath. Somehow, something told me that I could trust him and after the events of the day I knew that I needed to tell him everything. I looked back up at both of the men standing in front of me and started my story.

   "Okay, I will tell you everything. About a year ago I went to visit Carter's grave. When I walked up to his grave there was a man standing there. I approached him and when I asked him who he was he turned around and had a gun. He said something about Carter owing him a debt and that I belonged to him. I was confused and scared and somehow was able to get away from him that day. I went on the run that day and have been since then." Cornelius stopped me.

 "Why didn't you come to me then?" I shook my head. 

"I thought about it, but I never wanted to put you and your family in danger." He seemed satisfied with that answer so I continued. "I eventually was out of options so I went to someone I thought could help me. I went to Michael Scott. He was responsible for Carter's death, but he also had a good reason for it. The night Carter died one of Mike's men had let me go, so I felt they might be able to help. Mike called Jensen to come from New York to help. Jensen was the one that let me go that night, but at first, he hated me because Carter was responsible for his fiance's death."

    I watched Cornelius and Felix taking everything in. "So who is this man that is after you and why?" Cornelius asked. I nodded and continued my story. 

"I found out that the man that is after me is Joseph King. Apparently he is a very big gangster in New York. He had found me one day while I was out shopping with Jensen and some friends. He told me that Carter had promised me to him as a way to join the two gangs together. I was supposed to be his wife. He also tried to tell me that Jensen was working for him and was going to bring me to him. I believed him at first about Jensen and tried to run again, but Jensen came after me and explained everything. Jensen and I have started a relationship and Joseph knows about it. That is why I finally called you and Delphina, but I never thought that Joseph would find me here. I am so sorry that I put you and your family in danger."

"Don't be sorry, I just wish that you had come to me sooner. I have heard of Joseph King, but I can promise you that he is no match for me and my family. So is that why Jensen went back to New York?" I nodded.

 "Yes, he has been trying to deal with Joseph with the help of Mike and his gang. Cornelius, I don't think he can handle this alone. I have had a bad feeling since he left." Cornelius looked at me then at Felix. Cornelius didn't say anything to him, but it was like Felix knew what he was going to say. He nodded at Cornelius then left the office. After he was gone Cornelius turned back to me.
