His Donna

CHAPTER 16

Rachel's POV

"Where exactly is the safety" I asked as Gio lead me in the direction I'm unfamiliar with.
"Don't worry about it, you won't be alone there I'm sure Mom and Zach are already there" he replied turning the corner with me behind him
"Don't leave, I'll come get you guys when it's all clear" he said opening metal doors after putting his hand on the scanner.
"Please be careful" I said giving him a kiss on his cheek .
"Don't worry about that sweetheart" he replied closing the behind him.

Turning around I'm met with Sarah's smiling face, why is she smiling like that "What?" I asked looking at her confused.
"Nothing, I'm just happy my son won himself a beautiful woman" she said walking towards me
"But I'm curious as to why you didn't tell me you were his girlfriend in the first place" she asked taking my hand and leading me away from Maria and Zach. I looked at Zach for help but he just shrugged his shoulders.

What a traitor

"Rachel" Sarah called looking at me expectingly.
"Oh by that time we hadn't made it official he kinda just decided on his own" I explained looking at the floor, this woman is so gorgeous it's intimidating.
"You mean he claimed you" she asked in a teasing manner "Reminds me a lot like his father" she added with a far away look and a content smile on her face, man she is beautiful it's really fascinating.

I was still staring at her when I heard an explosion outside making me jump out of my skin and when I turned back to Sarah I realized she didn't even flinch not one bit in fact she doesn't even look worried.
"Ain't you scared" I asked her absent mindedly
"It's my sister's husband who is attacking, I know he won't hurt us or the boys" she replied shrugging her shoulders.
"Then why are we here" I asked looking around the safe for the first time, it actually looks cozy and spacious.
"For safety measures, I mean they're throwing boombs around and shooting at each other to boost their stupid egos I'm sure you don't want to be caught up in that" she replied while rolling her eyes.

She's cool, I guess I was really quick to judge

"So this is a game for them" I asked not really sure what is going on, first we were on panic mode only to realize that the guys decided to play real call of duty while we're stuck in here.
"No I'm sure their uncle is mad at them and is supposingly teaching them a lesson" she replied shrugging her shoulders.
"By destroying the property" I stated still in shock with the revelation.
"Yep" she replied pooping the p while getting comfortable "Stupid huh?" she asked looking at me and I nodded my head in reply and we both busted out laughing.

"So tell me, how did you meet my son?" she asked putting her hand under her chin for balance, blushing I remembered the first time I met Gio how unreal it was, I wouldn't say it was magical because it was far from it. Magical seems  innocent and pure and those were not the feelings I felt when I first laid my eyes on him.
Sinful temptation would cover it up.
"We met at a club, I was out with my friends Maria and Sarah, you've met Maria" I said pointing at my friend who is frantically speaking with Zach "He took me to his place and the rest is history" I said trying not to give a lot of information.
"And you how did you met Gio's dad" I asked trying to change the subject and cutting her off before she gives her opinion.
I seriously don't like other people's opinions on my business.
"Our story is not like a normal boy meets girl type of love story Antonio actually kidnapped me" she replied chuckling "He made my life a living hell when I first got on the compound " she added with a far off look.

I'm not surprised he kidnapped her, the man looks very much capable of committing such an act.

"But as time went on I started accepting my fate and things got a lot easier" she said smiling at me "I suggest you do the same because mafioso Always gets what they want" she added with a serious face.
"But I'm not sure I want to be in his world" I replied looking at my hands.
"It's a little too late to be concerned about that, I'm sure he is locking you and your friend here because word got out" she exclaimed.
"Yes he is afraid I'll be in danger after the stunt he pulled on Friday" I replied accepting my doom.

It seems I lost control of my life ever since I met Gio, I doubt I'll still have the luxury of making my own decisions and having the freedom I've experienced my whole life.

"I heard they started calling you Donna" Sarah said smiling at me as if this whole thing is amusing to her.
Heaving out a sigh I nodded my head
"So you clearly don't want to be a Donna" she asked raising her right eyebrow at me.
"Honestly no, I've never pictured my life to turn out like this, I can't be a Mafia Queen,I can't even hurt a fly" I rumbled felling completely hopeless.
"But you want my son" she asked not looking at me, I see where this is going and I hate to admit that she is correct.
"Yes" I replied already defeated.
"Well unless you want your relationship to be purely based on sex and lust then you have nothing to worry about" she said looking at me.

I'm sure we passed that stage .

"As for the girl who will be his woman she will have no option but to accept the title because it comes with him, Accepting Gio is accepting his world".
She said still looking at me.
"How did you make that decision" I asked her trying to shift the focus on me because I know what she said was true, Gio and the Mafia are a whole package, not in this world or dimension will Gio leave his Mafia for me.
"I fell in love "she simply replied not seeming like she will further explain because we all know when you love someone you accept their flaws and bargage with ease.

"Don't worry yourself too much about this, as time goes by you will know what you want" she said squeezing my hand, "And if you ever have any questions don't hesitate to ask me, I understand the position you're in I've been there" she smiled reassuringly.
"Now let's get you to your friends" she said getting up on her feet and offering her hand to help me get up not that I needed it but out of politeness I accepted her hand and allowed her to lead me to Maria and Zach who surprisingly moved from where I last saw them.

We found them in a completely different room, a room I didn't expect to be in this house let alone in the safety.
"Zachariah Heckman I hope you didn't drink my sentimental wine or I swear to God I will kill you, I seriously don't understand why Gio showed you this wine, there is a reason it's in here you know" she shouted at her out of sight son, this room is so big and full I could hear their chatter and shuffling but I couldn't see them.
"follow me" Sarah muttered already living and I can't chance getting lost in here so like a little lost puppy I followed.

With how pissed Sarah is I hope Zach didn't fuck up.

And ladies and gentlemen we saw him trying to place the wine in its original space but he was struggling since it was high up and I'm sure he was trying not to break it.
"Are you fucking serious" Sarah exclaimed behind him making him freeze and turn around to look at his mother with the wine still in his hands.
"Out of all the bottles in this room you chose the one me and your father drank to welcome you into this world!" she said glaring at him
"You know that is for special occasions, for when you get married" she added still glaring at him.
"Mom we both know I won't end up married" Zach replied rolling his eyes.
"Zach that is not true, gay people get married all the time" she said smiling at him all her anger gone.
"I know Mom I just wanted to piss Dad off" he said smiling sheepishly at his mom and she cracked a smile.
"I'm sorry" he added "I'll look for another bottle to open" he said walking off.

"Zach" Sarah called out making Zach stop at his track.
"Get the Domaine Leroy chamber tin Grand Cru 1990"she said making all of us sigh in relief, for a moment I thought she was going to reprimand him.
"Zach told me it's his uncle who is attacking, what is that all about" Maria asked directing the question to Sarah.
"This started way back, I honestly have no idea as to when" she said laughing.
"I need a glass of wine to travel back to memory lane, where is that boy" Sarah asked looking around for Zach.
"I'm here mom took alot longer than I expected to find this bad boy" Zach said making his way towards us with a bottle of wine in his hand and two glasses on the other.

"Don't be cheap with the wine please" Sarah said making us laugh.
"Don't worry about that mom I know you love your wine" Zach said as he poured wine for all of us.
"So what did I miss" Zach asked as he took a sip at his wine.
"Your Mom was about to tell your family history" Maria replied.
"Oh yes how I met your father" Sarah said as I sipped my wine.
"Jesus how many times do I have to listen to that story" Zach whined making me smirk at him as I took a sip at my wine.

"We both know you love the story" Sarah said laughing at his son.
"Can you get to the story please " Mariah whined sounding surprisingly impatient.
