The lost Mexican-Italian mafia princess

Chapter 17- The cats out of the bag

"You were a good kid. I'm impressed I haven't seen anyone with that much talent at such a young age." 

I told Alex, she gave me a noticeable smile and thanked me. It was getting pretty late so it was time to head back home and eat some dinner. Stefano walked up to me all sweaty and shirtless and let me tell you it was an amazing sight. 

"Hey how you feeling" 

"Actually I'm feeling pretty good right now, that girl Alex she knows how to fight. She's good but sloppy so I wanna train her. It'll help give me some peace of mind."

 "That's good, I'm happy that you are able to find something to keep your mind off of it." 

We walked back to the cars and drove off back to the mansion and got there in about 20 minutes. When we walked in I smelled a delicious streak and I heard my stomach rumble. Looks like my appetite is coming back.

 "Hello Family what's for dinner."

 "Axel Rivers where are the manners that your mother taught you, come greet your mother first before coming into the house screaming like some animal cause I know I raised my child better than that!" 

My aunt's scram at my cousin looking over his expression is priceless, mafia men are mafia men ruthless and whatnot but when it comes to the women in their lives it's over for them. It's the women who have the true power over them, people just don't know that. 

"Scusa madre" (sorry mother) he said , walking over to my aunt and planting a small kiss on her forehead. 

"Can you guys help seat up the table please." We all gave my aunt a small nod and placed the plates, forks and everything else on the table. We sat down and started to eat in comfortable silence until my father asked me something.

 "Rose I know you don't want to talk about it but I at least need to know how the leader of the American Mafia knows my daughter, it just doesn't make sense to me." 

I looked over at my dad and I felt that stab in the chest again as a reminder that the pain will always be there, it's not going anywhere anytime soon so might as well tell them some of the story one way or another they'll find out.

 "Well as I'm sure you know but this whole time my mother and I were living in New York." 

"That impossible I looked for your mother and you there and me and my best man came up with nothing."

 "Well that might be due to my mom changing our names dying and cutting our hairs buying us fake glasses with different color eye contacts." 

They all looked at me star struck like my mother was some master genius which she kinda was. 

"My mom home-schooled me though my whole life until I entered my sophomore year then she let me go to school. She never let me have any friends which know I know it was just a precaution. When I had just turn 15 there was this man that was going around New York kidnapping and killing rich little girls I mean kidnapping and murdering children or anyone from that matter in New York wasn't unusual but because it involved the rich assholes from the upper east side I mean obviously the kids were never at fault and didn't deserve it but everyone was on this guys ass but if it was children from the hood ain't nobody cared but that's besides the point. One day on my way backing home from school I was drugged and taken to some warehouse and I was kept there by Andri for days until Alex's father and his men came to save me. Due to what his father did he wanted to make up for all the women his father abused and trafficked. Even Though the NYPD and narcotics unit knew who he was and what he did they still worked with him when it came to cases of saving children and women. The narcotics unit never has sufficient evidence to convict or arrest Jason so they worked with him and asked his help on occasions. Catching Andrei was way out of their hands so they asked Jason for help and they found him and me in his basement. They rescued me and Jason took me in for a while even though mom didn't want me to stay with them I did anyways I felt safe with him and Alex. I stayed with them for over a year and they kept training with me until we lost contact a couple months before I came here to Italy our relationship lasted about 2 and a half years we broke up when I was 18." 

"As much as I loved Rose's company I wanted her to stay away from me because I didn't want to put her in the cross fires of other gangs in New York because it was getting extremely heated and put her more than she had already been through so I broke up with her but we ended the relationship in good terms, as friends. Over time things cooled down with rival gangs but I had lost contact then a week later I heard she was in Italy" said Alexander. 

I looked around the table. My father Axel and Stefano had a face filled with anger and my aunts and Stefanos mother Olivia looked at me with sympathy. 

"What happened to Andrei if he's here?" my father asked

 "He escaped from the warehouse. We were keeping him but honestly we don't know how he escaped I mean we had him guarded 24/7 but someone managed to break him out a week before Rose's mother was killed." 

"That's too much of a coincidence to be a coincidence." my father said. 

"No it's not I'm pretty sure Andrei killed her too keep her mouth shut about helping him and the deal they had made years ago, his protection over her and in return she sold me to him." 

I knew I shouldn't have said anything or at least not so bluntly like it was nothing but might as well get it over with. Rip the bandaid off with no anestisa and just wait for these macho men to let out their anger, surprise or whatever they felt. I was starting to get scared cause it was dead silent no one said a thing or moved a finger.

 "Excuse me." My father got up from his chair and walked to his office where he slammed the door and threw what I'm guessing is a vase and anything else that was in sight.

 "Well this was an eventful dinner but I'm not hungry anymore so I'm going back to my room."

 I got up from my seat and walked to my room and I heard footsteps behind me looking back. It was Alexander following me. 

"Hey you ok I didn't expect you to tell your family so soon about what had happened to you." 

"Well technically I didn't tell them everything I still let some parts out." 

"Yes but those parts are way too personal that you don't even talk about it." By this time we were in my bedroom and I was sitting on my bed and Alex was on the couch.

"Well how do you tell your family that my rapist got me knocked up and once I found out I had an abortion becuase I couldn't handle the fact that I was carrying the child of the man the completely ruined my purity and technically took my virginity."

 "You have a point but hey he didn't take your virginity he was a pig, when your virginity is taken it's because it was something that YOU wanted to happen not because you were forced." 

I gave him a small smile. Alex was always sweet and supportive with me when I dated him; he was what you can call the "perfect boyfriend." He took things my pace and was gentle when I was finally ready to have sex with him a year after what had happened to me he made sure it was something that I was 100% sure that I wanted and that it wasn't just for our relationship. He made me happy and sure that I knew that he'd be willing to wait. In my head he was the guy I lost my virginity to not Andrei. When we broke up I was heartbroken but I understood why he did it and I was grateful that he cared so much for me to let me go so I wasn't in danger we would talk and text but eventually the business was too much from him to keep incontact so we stopped talking. I'm glad that we reconnected again but what I felt for him isn't there anymore but I still have strong feelings for him and I think I always will. He was my first love and you never forget those. 

"Well it's time for me to call it a night but you'll be ok right?" 

"Yes I'll be fine thank you for now and everything just wanted to say thank you."

 We laughed in union and with that he exited my room and I entered my bathroom to take a steaming hot shower. 

Hey ya'll I'm back tomorrow is my last day of school so except some more updates for the next three weeks since I have my winter break. Please let me know what you think :)
