Wife of a Mob Boss

Chapter 14 <3

Pictures of Kettle's body where all over two pages.  Cuts, lashes, and bruises all over her.  I put my hand to my mouth.

In one picture was a girl, a bit older than the first picture, standing by a stern looking man.  The girl's smile was forced and her eyes emotionless.  I could only read the first sentence before I closed the folder.  "Evidence of child abuse.  Subject: Kettle Pellywog.  Suspect: The Father."

"So.  This is why she tried so hard to escape..."  Sad, painful tears rolled down my cheeks.  My chest hurt with a pain of a person I have only known till recently.  Kettle, who had been so cheerful up till now, had this past.

A knock at the door made me jump.  I quickly wiped away my tears the best I could.  "C-come in."

Greg stepped in.  His ussal grin was bright.  "What's up Jady?  Your gonna miss dinner-"

He stoped talking.  "Are you ok?," He asked walking over to me.

"Yeah.  Of course, why do you ask," I said messing around with my hair, but at the same time silently wiping away tears.  I notice Greg frowned once he noticed the folder I was holding tightly.

He sat down next to me and surprisingly pulled me into a hug.  "Your not ok.  Are you?"

I held back my tears the best I could.  I huged Greg back, questioning his kindness for moment.  Some tears escaped aas I said, "No..."

After awhile I felt his body tremble.  "Are you laughing?," I asked.

I felt his hand touch my lower back.  He grab the top of my pants.  "Your pant's tag is hanging out."

I smacked his hand away, blushing badly.  "You pervert!"

Greg laughed loudly as he released me and fell backwards on the bed.  "I'm the pervert?  Who through themselves at who after two drinks?"

I through a pillow at him; avoiding eye contact.  And I thought he came over here to be kind I thought turning away from Greg who kept trying to apologize to me.

I finally gave into to him and he lead me down the hall to the dining room.  My mind kept swirling with Kettle's past.

"Greg!," William's voice sounded after us.  We both stop and turn around.  "That's my fiancé!," William says glaring at Greg.  I giggled at him becuase he seemed like a angry puppy.

I was then suddenly hugged from behind and strong, familiar arms held me close.  "No, I think I will keep her as my play toy."  I blushed deeply.  Greg leaned down and but his mouth right against my ear.  "And I will play with you."

William seemed to almost blow another gasket when Kettle appeared behind us.  "Hello~ over there!  Me and Lady boss would like to eat now if you don't mind!"

William huffed and Greg released me.  I felt sad though.  I was kinda starting to enjoy their banter.

William put his arm around my shoulder as he gave Greg a death glare.  He made me move forward but as we did I felt a hand grab my right one.  It gave it a gentle sqeeze before leting go.

I knew whose hand it was.  I blushed and smiled at how it oddly gave me confidence and strength.

I think I am starting something that i might not can Finish I thought with a slight beat of my heart.
