Circle Of Love

Chapter Five

Amy sat there staring at the desk in front of her. Her father sat beside her.

"Sweetheart, I'm sorry, I just wanted to do what was best for our family, I didn't want that life for you or your brothers," Jack said.

"But now I'm married into that life, you married me off!" Amy said.

"Being the daughter of a mafia king is worse than being the wife of one, everyone knows to leave the wives alone but children are a different story," Jack said.

"Rival mafia leaders kidnap the daughters and do unspeakable things to them," Nick said.

"So what am I supposed to do now, go play wife to him and leave the man I truly love," Amy said.

"There has to be another way, I love her, I can't lose her," Matthew said.

"I wish there was, but Lucas is an only child," Jack said.

"So if he had a sister, you would have married off Sam or JJ," Amy said.

"Honey," Jack said.

"What's going on?" JJ asked.

"Dad?" Sam asked.

"Tell them, Dad," Amy said. Jack told her brothers everything. They looked at him.

"Dad," Sam said.

"Why did you do this," JJ said

"I had to do what was right for the family," Jack said.

"By marrying our sister off," JJ said.

"This is so wrong," Sam said.

"Say goodbye to everyone, Amy, we are leaving," Lucas said.

"I'm not going anywhere with you!" Amy said.

"You have no choice, wife," Lucas said.

"There is always a choice!" Amy said. She grabbed Matthew's hand and they ran out the door and ran out to his car and drove off. They left the city and turned off locations on their phones before they left the city. They pulled into a town that was four hours away and checked into a bed and breakfast under a fake name and paid cash. They went to their room and locked the door and he pulled her into his arms as she cried.

"God baby I love you so much!" Matthew said.

"I love you too, I can't let you go!" Amy said.

"I can't let you go either, we rest now and we leave tomorrow, we have to keep moving," Matthew said.

"I hate this but what else can be done, I want you and only you," Amy said.

"I can't lose you, you are everything to me," Matthew said. Her phone rang and she turned it off. He turned his off too.

"Please hold me," Amy said. They laid on the bed and he held her in his arms. She rested her head on his chest and they fell asleep. Three weeks later, they ended up on the other side of the country. Using fake names and cash only for everything, they remained hidden from everyone. They never turned on their phones and instead bought untraceable ones and she sent a quick message to Sam and JJ that she was okay. They replied telling her that they were glad and they were working on getting their father to take back the mafia title and end the marriage between her and Lucas.

"Lucas has been looking for you guys," JJ said.

"Why can't he just give up and see that I don't want to be with him," Amy said.

"Rachel told us that once Lucas sees something he wants, he stops at nothing to get it," JJ said.

"So he wants me and won't stop until he has me, what if I'm pregnant with Matt's baby, will that stop him," Amy said.

"Are you?" JJ asked.

"I could be, I ran out of pills and I can't go get more," Amy said.

"I'll find out, call me back in an hour," JJ said.

"Love you bro," Amy said.

"Love you sis," JJ said. Amy hung up and looked at Matthew.

"Shall we get you pregnant?" Matthew asked.

"I could be already, you know," Amy said. She called JJ back an hour later.

"I talked to Lucas," JJ said.

"And?" Amy asked.

"He said that you being pregnant with Matt's baby won't matter, he will raise the baby as his," JJ said.

"Unbelievable," Amy said.

"I'm sorry sis, we are trying to get you out of this," JJ said.

"I'll call tomorrow," Amy said.

"Okay sis," JJ said. She hung up and covered her face with her hands.

"Baby?" Matthew said.

"Having your baby won't change anything, he said he would raise it as his own," Amy said.

"I can't believe this, why is this guy so obsessed with someone he barely knows," Matthew said.

"Because I'm a possession, he thinks he owns me," Amy said.

"No one owns you," Matthew said. They held each other. The door burst open and Lucas stood there glaring at them.

"Found you!" Lucas said.
