The Mafia Queen

Chapter 17

Jennifer's POV

"Let her go", Andres said but his wicked laughter only continued and by the looks on Joel, El Diablo would have already been in hell with his brother, the Devil.

I tried bring out the gun that was hidden in my jacket but he was quicker than me. He picked up his gun and shot me in the leg and I shot his hand and his chest before he fell to the ground.

I tried to open my eyes but they felt weak as if I had slept for 3 days straight. I took a deep breath and again tried to open my eyes but this time slowly.

But it seemed so bright with the bulbs and the sun light contributing. I looked around and I realised that I was in my room. What happened? I looked down and saw a drip attached to the back of my hand trailing upwards. I looked down to find my leg bandaged and then, everything came back like the wave of an ocean.

I was shoot by El Diablo but most especially, I shot El Diablo so that means, he is dead. He is dead. HE IS DEAD!!!!!!

To say I was happy was an understanding, I was overwhelmed. Tat sick demon was finally gone to the place of no return and just then Andres worked inside with Martial with him.

"Am so glad you are safe sis. Goodness knows what would have happened to you if he shot you somewhere else".

"Am fine Andres".

"So glad you are fine boss".

"Thanks Martial".

"He is gone, he is finally gone", I say.

"Yes, he is. You did it", Andres says smiling and just then Joel walked inside with a big smile on his face which was genuine because it's either he doesn't smile or he smiles a sarcastic one.

"Oh, she is finally awake. I thought she wanted to become the second sleeping beauty". Wow, he watches Disney as a mafia leader? There is more to expect from this man. He seemed to notice my reaction and said;

"What? I can remember my cousins who were girls watching it has a child", he says in a duh tone. Yup, seriously more things to expect from this man.

"You defeated El Diablo so I will like to take you on an outing, consider it as a date and as a congratulatory gift from me", Joel said.

And I felt my heart do a hundred summersaults like Goku, that carton character. Don't ask me how I know about that.

"Ok, fine. I will go but what about my leg", I asked?

"You will use crutches like the doctor said", and I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Don't worry, it's temporary", he added and I nodded my head. I forget completely that Andres and Martial are still in the room but no with a smile like children who have been given their favourite type of ice cream. Stupid men.
