Angel's Lie (Mafia)

The Confession

I panic. 

I start kicking my legs back and forth trying to escape whosever arms are tightly wrapped around me. I can't hear anything besides the beating of my own heart in my ears. I can't breathe, I dont know if it's because of the tight grip around me or because I'm panicking. before I know it I'm on the ground on my hands and knees trying to catch my breath. When I look back behind me I see Seth on top of the big man that had his arms around me. The guy is huge. He looks to be in his late thirties, I can see why ha had no problem picking me up. Sean pulls out a gun he had in his waistband and smacks the guy against the side of his head with the butt of the gun. The man is unconscious before Seth runs over to me and embraces me in his arms. He pulls out his phone and calls someone. I dont hear much because my heart is still in my ears but I hear Seth say some numbers and quickly hang up. 

"Angelica look at me." Seth orders as I look him in the eye. "Are you okay? did he hurts you?"

"No, yeah no I'm fine. I just can't breathe." I say as I look back at the guy. I've never seen him in my life, why is after me? what were his intentions? How did he know I was here?

"Angelica?" Seth says, but before I can answer I see black.

I wake and automatically know where I am. I see my childhood curtains come into view but I can also smell the same cologne that would comfort me when I cried as a toddler. I turn my head and sure enough, father is sitting there at my desk staring at me with a stressed look upon the face. 

"Father?" I say with a quiet voice. "What happened?"

"It doesn't matter Angel, all that matters is that it's being taken care of and that you are okay. How are you feeling?" He says as he walks towards me. He puts his hand on my cheek like he did when I was younger whenever I got upset. Things seemed so much simpler back then, now it seems like every day there's a new disaster. 

"I feel fine, I just have a headache." 

"The doctor said that would be normal, stay and get some rest, call for Sylvia if you need anything. I love you, Angel." He turns to walk out the door before I yell for him to come back. "Father, please, just tell me what happened. I'm begging you." I just want him to admit it. Why won't admit it? I know whatever happened had to of happened because of him and his business.

"Angel, I'm taking care of it, there is nothing to worry about. Now please rest." He tries to walk out again but this has gone on for too long. 

"I know." He turns around with a confused look. "I know what you do for a living. I know you're in the mafia." 

"Angelica, what are you saying? You're confused, please take a nap and I will call the doctor and have him come and check on you. You are obviously delirious." 

"No, I dont need the doctor, I know what you do. You may still have your own business but I know you are in the mafia. You, Marco, Bruno, and even Grayson. You guys have all been lying to me my whole life and you thought I would never find out, but I did, and now I am trying to get you to confess but you're still trying to hide it. I already know, why won't you just admit it? please just tell me it's true or better yet tell me it's not true. Despite what you say I know this attack that happened on me this morning was because of you and your illegal business. This is getting out of hand. Do you know what could have happened to me? What if Sean wasn't there. I could have been killed!"

"Angelica, why would you even accuse me of this obscurity. Who put all of this in your head?" I'm not going to nark on Grayson, I dont know what father would do to him. I'm pretty sure telling people about the mafia is a big no-no in the mafia world. "Damn it, Angelica, answer me," he yells when I dont answer him. He's starting to get angry.
