POTERE AMORE (Mafia Romance) 18+

Chapter twenty five

Annetta's POV

First on the agenda today was to set off to the estate to focus on the work I would become an accomplice to with Dante. Working against my father.

I've contemplated on many occasions whether I could leave to side with my father but then really wondered, what had Destefano got to offer me?

Nothing long term.

I blink, my blurry vision begins to clear after a couple of aggressive blinking because for some reason, my eyes were clogged with heavy fatigue and my head was throbbing with so much pain.

What is happening?

As long as I could remember, I don't remember drinking last night. I felt like I have been struck by alcohol, the consequence, the feeling of the morning after a night of heavy drinking takes me but the only problem was, I was sure I did not drink last night. I returned from the estate, showered and ordered a takeaway, only I didn't get that takeaway because when I went to open the door for it, my mind returned into the state of darkness. Blank. Nothing.

Probably was that takeaway.

What takeaway!?

My fingers rub my eyes, trying to rid the heavy sleep. Once my vision was clear, I note that I was not in my apartment condo, in fact I wasn't even on the ground because I was floating in a jet. Panic swells within me because I had no idea who put me on a jet. It couldn't be Dante or Fabio because I would be aware, they would definitely inform me. The only person I could think that could do this was Lorenzo.

I stand on my feet and begin my inspection, even after I felt uncertainty overwhelm me. The jet was ordinary, nothing extraordinary. I glance toward the window to find that the sky was dark and cloudy. It was too deep into the night which made me wonder, what time was it?

"Hello?" I shout, silence surrounds me as trepidation filled into my gut. I glance at the entrance, hoping to watch somebody I knew walk in because if I did not, I was about to cry my eyes out. "What the fuck?" I mumble to myself when nobody arrived.

When I avert my eyes back to the chair, my ears were filled with the sound of heavy footsteps. I quickly turn my head around and immediately prepare myself defensively. My confidence surrendered itself when fear conquered me, I was intimidated right now because I had no idea where I was going.

But when a familiar face watches me as he walks in, exasperation fills my system.

"Mario? Where the fuck are you taking me?" I growl. My eyes scrutinise the surrounding area, searching for the one person I expect to find. But when I didn't find him, I return my irritated glare at Mario who seemed so nonchalant. Even though I didn't expect anything from him, I was hoping he would shed some light into the darkness I've been locked in.

"Ciao to you too Annetta, how are you doing?" He asks,

"Did my father put you up to this?" I queried, nothing about this made me feel any sort of peace, even though it should. I felt something bad storming my way and unfortunately, I had no control. I realised the moment I felt my pockets, they were empty. "What is going on? Where am I going?"

"I know you must be confused and agitated but all I can do for now is assure you that everything will be fine. You have nothing to worry about, Destefano only wants your help, and he will go through great lengths to earn it."

"What?" I rasp, confusion clouded my mind for a moment. "I am helping him, in fact I was in the middle of doing so." I state, but Mario doesn't speak or move. "Get him here right now, I'd like to speak to him."
