It have been four years since the death of Angela and in that amount of time I have been living in nothing but fear. We have no family besides us three at this point its nothing new to me about being alone but I don't want that for Marc and Robert. When Angela gave birth she found out that she had twins and had originally named them Francesco Sicignano and Maurizio Sicignano which I never understood knowing that people are after them especially with that last name. When her unfortunate death happen I changed their names from Francesco to Marco Woods and from Maurizio to Roberto Woods and gave them my last name so they can not be trace back to that family and Angela.
Working at a full time job while taking care of two young boys is hard and stressful and also trying to protect them is hard and tiring but I love them so much. They do get questions about why they don't look their mother why I have dark brown skin and wool type texture hair and why would I adopted " white children" I never really answered those questions because its nobody's dame business.
Thank god I have a very good paying job to take care of them and being able to afford a nice size house for them to live in and to make them happy.
I had to move far away from any harm that was in their way being from the big apple I had never left the city but I had to and their where not alot of job offering in NY. I searched online found an hospital in Wisconsin where they had an opening to start my practice after graduating from medical school.
Cedarburg, Wisconsin is where we live and their is a population of 11,000 not to many people and their is not a lot people that looks like me but it does not bother me. Its a place where I know will be least expected to be found I even changed the birth certificate threw a special person it costed a large amount of money but it was worth it.
Spring Green hospital is a small cute little hospital some of its stuff is a little dated and they rely on the community for resources I had no problem fitting in and the head doctor named Dr.Elwood was kind and a gentle man he just took to me but even as kind as he is I can't trust nobody I don't allow nobody close to me or my children. Their powerful people anybody can be on their payroll.
As I was sleeping I heard buzzing and my bed vibrating a little bit and the vibrating got more intense I lifted up head feeling very groggy I immediately search for my phone.
" fuck where's my phone" I groan
" oh mammy said a bad word" Robert said coming into my room
I looked at the door " Robert why are you up this late" I quickly turned away to find my phone looked under the pillow found it
" I heard something from outside" he said rubbing his eyes with his tiny hands
I got up checked my phone looked at the caller Id my eyes got wide oh no I thought
I quickly checked the time it was two in the morning I walked over to Robert and picked him I kissed him on his forehead and whispered in his ear " no worries mammy right here" said to him we got till his room I placed him in his bed
"Everything is going to be ok baby" I said push is little blond curls back from his forehead "what did you here that woke you up" I said in a low voice not to wake up Marc up.
" I heard some voices out side and I thought it was the tv but the tv was off I tried to wake up Marc but he was sleeping" he said in a low whisper
" its ok I'm going to check it out and to make sure you're safe ok?" I said
" you promise?"
"I promise"
I head to the door gave him a reinsurance look and gently close the door I rushed to my door and checked my phone 13 missed calls.
That weird he never calls me it must be urgent before I was about to call him back I went to my tv in room and grab the remote I have cameras throughout my whole house and security systems in case they found us.
I also have escape routes and a gun just in case something happens. I first looked outside on the security cameras nothing and I also installed night vision cameras and I seen nothing out of the ordinary. I also have cameras inside the house I just checked there's nothing pop up not out of the ordinary I checked my boys room I see nothing.
I went to my closet and looked through my shoes and grabbed my shoebox and pulled out my gun. I went to shooting ranges and practice how to use a gun safely so I won't get my self hurt.
I took the gun and slowly creeped out of my room I slowly walked down the stairs did not see nothing I quickly turned my head and start point my gun as I heard a chair movie. I was breathing heavy right now I slowly started to head back up stairs thinking about protecting my baby's up stairs as I was about to run up stairs I was immediately slam to the wall.
As I was about to scream warm soft lips covered mine and a hard muscular body covered mine too my wrist was pinned to the wall and with doing that I dropped my gun. After The attacker stop kissing me I looked up and it was no other than Antonio.
" what the fuck Antonio you scared he living shit out of me" I whispered yelled
He finally lets go of my wrist and my body he shrugged his shoulders " your body is so dame soft and I miss those lips"
I gave him an eye roll " grow up you scared the shit out of me and you know the kids are up stairs sleeping"
"They will be all right so do you want to take this to the bed" he said coming towards meI pushed him " no why are you in my house at this hour and why I could not see you on my security cameras those shits was not cheap!"
Antonio started laughing " I called you 13 times and you gave me no answer so I came over to make sure you and the kids are ok so why did you ignored my calls?" He raised his eyebrows
"Well I was sleeping and you woke up Robert because he said he heard some voices and I put him back in to bed and I checked the cameras to see if somebody broke into my house I guess those shits don't work"
Antonio pointed to my gun that was now on the floor " was you planing on using that thing" he smirked
"Yes if it came down to it OK enough with the smalltalk why are you here" I said tired of this dumb conversation
"Ok ok I got something on the Russian mafia and I know the man that is behind the killing of Angela and that Salvi" I frozed my mind race with a billion thoughts a sec the that killed my boys mother my best friend in the whole world.
I tured around and been down on the floor to pick up the gun that dropped a tear escape from my eye and closed them shut. " do I need this information?" " yes of course you do to protect the boys" I thought
I turned around slowly as Antonio slowly walked towards me I put my hand up " no not now I'm not in the mood" Antonio nodded
"Let's head up stairs" I said as Antonio followed me
Antonio and I got drunk one night and had an one night stand and we don't remember any of it but I refuse to sleep with him again. Antonio works for the CIA and I asked him to help me out in tracking the person who killed Angela or the person behind its risky digging and trying to get information because they have so much power with the government and business. Antonio is so far my only friend that I got right now and every time he try to looked or try to find anything it turns up empty.
Do I completely trust Antonio a one night fuck no I do not but who elses I got to give me information about the world Angela throw me and her children in. Angela knew a lot I just wish she would tell me everything she was involved in or part of it's deeper than she thought I know that for a fact.
