Il Mio Capo Mafioso Italiano

XXIII

Lorenzo's POV:

"Is this her?" The girl says, walking up to Mavery who's eyes are filled with tears. I stand with my arms crossed, trying not to let this bother me.

"I can definitely see why you need me to please you." The girl snorts, looking Mavery up and down.

Mavery is about to speak but I beat her to it, "Shut the fuck up and go upstairs."

The girl flinches at my tone and quickly runs up the stairs.

You need to cut Mavery off. You are putting her in danger.

"What are you doing up" I say in a cold tone. She is standing there, her eyes full of tears but it's clear she is holding them back, trying not to let one fall.

"You really are an asshole." She said, a tear slipping from her eyes and down her cheek. She quickly wiped it away.

"I made us dinner! I waited for you, worried because you were late and ignoring my calls. I thought you were hurt, or dead! But no. You are just fucking some girl. Is that what you do every night instead of work huh? You come here and act all sweet with me then go behind my back every night!"

"We aren't a couple, Mavery. I don't owe you anything."

She scoffed at this, "Yeah you don't."

With that, Mavery stormed out of the room, went upstairs and slammed the door shut.

I felt awful about this, but I also know that it's better if she hates me. That way her father has nothing on me, and my enemies can't use her against me. It's better this way. I kept telling myself as I walked up the stairs to meet the woman I brought here.

"Get out." I spat at the girl, who was already naked, on my bed. "What?"

"Get. Out." She sat there, confused, not moving.

"I'm giving you ten seconds to leave or I'm getting my gun out and shooting you between your eyes."

She frantically threw on her clothes and ran out of the room, not saying a word to me.

I couldn't imagine touching someone who had said those things to Mavery. I couldn't even imagine touching someone other than Mavery. Bringing that girl here was stupid.

I took a quick shower before I decided to go check on Mavery. Maybe if I just explained what happened with her father she would understand.

I threw on sweatpants and a t shirt before heading down the hall to her room.

I heard footsteps in the living room, so I hurriedly walked to the stairs, maybe she was in there. When I glanced down from the staircase, the room was empty. That's weird. I could have sworn I heard footsteps. The girl from earlier should have been gone like ten minutes ago. Maybe I should have walked her out...

I brought myself back to Mavery's room and knocked a few times. Nothing. "Mavery can I come in?" I ask again but with no response, I open it anyway.

Her bathroom door is closed, she must be in there. I hear soft sobs from the room, and my heart breaks knowing I am the reason. "Mavery?" I say, and the crying stops. It is silent. "Mavery I'm coming in." I say loudly before shoving the door open.

When I walk in, I see Mavery holding an empty bottle of pills, and holding about 10 pills in her hand, about to put them in her mouth.
