BETRAYED BY THE MAFIA LORD Chapter Fifty-nine
GINA'S POV I stood in front of the mirror, not staring at myself but at the emptiness that had become my life. Revenge made me feel hollow with each passing day. If Quinn had not been as easy going as he was, I wonder what would be my faith. I had to admit, I liked being in his arms, there was an assurance that it gave me which I couldn't find anywhere else. Last night, I spent it reminding Quinn that all I wanted was to sleep. He played deaf far too many times, trying to get my PJs off. But eventually, he succumbed. I sucked in a breath and exhaled, shutting my eyes. Today is just odd. Since I woke up, I had been feeling uneasy. Like there is something I wasn't telling myself.I grabbed my towel I head into the bathroom, filling the tub and taking a minute to soak. I guess perhaps I'm feeling this way because I knew deep down that last night I actually wanted Quinn not to listen to me. I just couldn't understand why when it came to Quinn, I just couldn't accept how I fe

“Anyone. Anyone. An….”“50 billion dollars.” The crowd gasped looking around immediately. Searching for who spoke. I looked back, at the man in the dark. I knew it was him. A frown creeped up my lips. As Gina, there were some habits I had as Sofia which I never gave up, one of them was Losing an auction.“Going. going. Go…”“200 billion dollars.” I yelled it, standing up with my plaque held up. A smug look on my face. Let's see him outbid that. “This item is… is…. is…. SOLD!!” He hit the hammer on the table and I clenched my fist in victory. I hung my head up, allowing the pride to inflate my ego. Standing in the middle of the room, felt somewhat exotic and nostalgic. The memories of that auction was rushing back and I felt as though it was repeating itself. The thought made me smile at how my mind could wander sometimes.There was no way it could repeat itself. It was night that day but more importantly, Leo was in the room and I walked over to him because his little stunt had ch

The rest of the day went like flashes. I must have blacked out but Quinn’s last words lingered in my sub-consciousness. It felt like a dream. Like I fantasied it and even when I opened my eyes on the hospital bed and I saw him, heads down, sleeping soundly, i still found it all hard to believe.Perhaps it was fathom fear that left my heart still racing or it was the fact that I couldn't believe he said that.To be honest, I had forgotten. I had completely forgotten we got married a while after we met. There was just this unspoken rule that no one should refer to it because it wasn't real.I turned my head to stare at him, lost in a reverie where I actually imagined what it would be like if we lived like an ordinary couple and Dereck was our son.I guess it was because of how carried away I was, that I didn't hear the nurse come in.“Mam. You are awake.”I looked her way, Quinn’s eyes opened immediately. As expected, he didn't exactly dose off.“How are you feeling?” She asked,

My heart stopped when I heard those words. Every bit it the way he said it, was enchanting. Tonight he came to me with a fine black shirt and faded blue jeans. We looked like teens hiding out in a garden because we didn't want anyone to know, we were….“Sofia.” His voice broke into my reverie.“Yes.”“I… know you are. I know you…. You are probably upset about…”“Quinn, please, not now. Don't change the topic here.”He was quiet, pursing his lips like he always did when he is embarrassed. That was something that almost never happened. He sucked in a breath and exhaled.“I am sorry. I am really sorry. I held back even ehen I knew you didn't want me to. I made you feel like you mattered only because of what you could do for me.”He squeezed my hand.“I am sorry I didn't tell you what I should. I made you keep quiet and hold back so much. To constantly ask yourself what exactly we are.”I looked down at our hands. “You don't have to apologize. This is my fault too.”“No, it's n

LEO’S POV I sat alone in the silence of the room, nursing my bruised arm. The grandfather clock ticking one second after the other and the breeze swinging the curtains side by side. There is a lingering ache in my chest. I sucked in a breath but I couldn't exhale. Yesterday kept coming back to me each time tried to breathe, to release the pain. I shut my eyes, feeling tears fill my eyes until the glittered when I opened them. The tears threatened to fall but everytime I looked at the picture frame in front of me, I wijced the tears back. I didn't deserve to feel sad. I didn't deserve to cry. I didn't have to right to grieve. The day Sofia died, I didn't go to find her body, I didn't ask of her again. She was the only one who treated me like I was human and I disregarded her like she was filth.What was I thinking. Remembering the past now made me wonder how on earth finding I thought I could find someone to replace her. I didn't deserve happiness. Sitting in the quiet I

I hopped into the Ferrari and Reggie hit the brakes, screeching into the road. Everything was forgotten; my grief, my sobbing and even shaving. That shipment was carrying nearly half my life savings. I lose that and I will have a taste of bankruptcy for the first time. There is nothing a Mafia lord feared more that losing moneyThe port is still an hour ride from us even though Reggie is disobeying every traffic signs. I loaded up the revolver, placing them next to us. If Quinn is really there then there is definitely going to be a blood bath in motion.My phone rang, the Don managing the port is calling. I picked the call, impatienting yelling into the phone.“Where the fuck have you been?!”“Boss, I'm sorry but we are taking in heavy fire right now.” I could here guns offloading in the background and men sprouting curses.“Do you have eyes on Quinn?”“No, boss he isn't here.”“Find him.” I cut the call, ramming my hand on the car door. I took in a deep breath and exhaled. Su

I stood sit, staring at the empty sea where my ship once sailed. Some boken pieces of metal managed to float, the wave drifting them to shore for me to see. Perhaps, like the universe, it was trying to wreck me displaying what I had lost before my eyes.Somehow it all seemed sort of unreal. Like a very bad nightmare. My bleeding arm gnawed at me and my vision blurred a few times from the throbbing headache behind my head but it didn't seem to make me want to believe that this is really what It is. I just watched 200 billion worth of cargo go up in blast and flames.In that moment, I felt the meaning of emptiness. The hollow, dead-like and soul crushing feeling that I had lost so much. My body was weary and slightly trembling but I couldn't bring myself to walk away. The loss hit me too hard to let me move, even when the obvious screeching of a car was evident. The engine stopped, and the driver got out. I did not look back until he spoke.“What an explosive day, don't you think?”A d

GINA'S POV I stood on the terrace. It is cold tonight. The sky starless. The big moon hung in the dark clouds alone, bathing the world with light. The gentle breeze blew apart my curls and fluttered my robe.I tried to focus my mind on the crickets, on the waving trees and on the sound of the shower coming from inside our bedroom.Yeah, Quinn insisted I move my things into his room. Of course I loved it but now, I didn't know if I still did. Since that incident at the auction, I had been uneasy. Something eating up my consciousness, something I couldn't explain.‘Perhaps-’ I made a light stroll to the glass table and took a wine glass.‘Perhaps I really have not given up all that weighed on my heart.’ but what exactly was left? That I couldn't tell.I tried to recall the few times I felt the same in the past. I could only find it in the times I had lived with leo. Before I married him. Back then too, I never really know what it was.‘Maybe’, I wondered. ‘ What those two incide

GINA'S POVMy plan touched down on East side, Orlands Airport. I took the rental car and drove into town. It is going to be a long drive to my destination so I called home. I talked with Derek than I called an old friend.“Hello, Guss.”I heard a chuckle at the other end of the phone.“What's funny?”“Oh, nothing. I'm still surprised you asked me for help. I mean. The first time we met ended you making one of those Hispanic girls slap the nuts of me.”I smiled. That was funny. “I'm glad you don't hold grudges.”“Grudges don't suit a black brother like me plus, the lady is hot by the way.”I let out a small laugh. “Take care of her.”“I will.” The line cut. I dropped the phone and stepped on the gears. The retried nurse told me that Aura was not adopted. She was taken by her family. Going on this hunt, made me realize why Quinn and Leonardo may have never found this if they looked. Hailey’s husband has access to filed that no one else can.

GINA'S POV“Hello, Quinn, finally. I've been calling.”“I'm sorry baby. Its really messed up over here.” I can hear a hint of frustration in his voice.“Is she really Aura.” He was silent for a moment. “Yeah.”“Oh my god.”“Mhmm. It really sucks. I didn't think I will ever have to meet her again under these circumstances.”“What are You gonna do?”“Leonardo and I have agreed, we will stay. If we left her alone back then she wouldn't have ended up the way she did. We have to make it up to her. Anyway we can.”“Quinn, are you growing a soft spot for her?” I wish so bad that he can understand how disgusted that made me feel.“I know this is so out of place but she is Aura.”“I don't care. Your Aura has become a bitch. Who she was in the past past doesn't validate or save her from any of the harm she did in the Future.” I was almost yelling, veins popping from my head. “Gina, please. I understand what this is like but I don't think you understand that we owe this girl. We have a lot to

SAMANTHA’S POVIts been a month since I fell off that base building. I still had fractures in places where fractures shouldn't be. But that wasn't the scary thing, it is that once again I had to sit in the same room with the men who put me here.Quinn is standing behind Leo. His massive figure pressing too hard against his suite. His face is ice cold and he wore no smile. Like the executioner on a visit with Hades. Leo was comfortable settled in the third cushion chair in the room. His legs crossed and his eyes fixed on me without blinking.I held my breath and squeezed my palms together. Trying to remind myself to calm down that I was here welcome. “Samantha Honey, it's alright. This men are your friends. That have been looking for you. Tell them how you found us.” The old lady said. I smiled brightly and then returned my gaze to the two men. I gulped. If only she knew what we all meant to each other now she wouldn't have cramped us up in the same room.“I remember two weeks ago, L

LEONARDO’S POV“Its Samantha’s father. All of a sudden, he has grown a soft spot for the girl he once abused. Now he is hunting my men down and tearing my syndicates apart and I can't do anything about it.”Gina’s eyes are locked with mine. The light in the room made them glimmer. She has tears in her eyes too, that's why. Her face held an expression of pity. She is worried about me and knowing that made my heart melt. The kiss on my lips made me realize how much I'm still in love with her.“Matteo will squash you. You don't have what it takes to hold him down, Leo.” I flashed her a big smile. “I won't go down without a fight either. You don't need to bother about all this. Its my business.”“And you saved our… Derek, I can't just standby and watch you suffer. Plus, Matteo should pay for raising a kid like Samantha.” She turned around to stare at Quinn who has been fuming with anger since they walked into the room. He exchanged glances with Gina.

GINA’S POV The telephone rang. I sprang up from the chair immediately. My face has paled out, I'm covered in cold sweat and half asleep. I staggered to the phone. My head weighed a thousand pounds and there was this throbbing ache gnawing at the back of my head. I could feel the pain, I could notice how blurry everything is but I couldn't care less. Its been two days. No one has called. No one is replying to my texts, no one is reaching out. My hair is haggard, pulled out strands littered the floor. My eyes are sullen and my body felt like it came out of a washing machine. Broken and beaten up. I picked up the phone. “Hello. Quinn, is that you?”“This is Daisy from Hudson Pizza calling to ask if you…” I hung up, sighed and crumbled to the floor, hugging my knees. Oh, God what happened to them. Please.. someone should call please. Tears soaked the knees of my pajamas. I covered my mouth and muffled a sob by pressing my lips into my palm. I don't want to wake Hailey. She has been

QUINN'S POV We took the Jet. Leonardo had informed us he ks coming to meet us so we met him at the Delgado train station. There was a small eatery just off the station, across the road. We booked a private space and ordered burgers. The only means on their menu that allowed us to keep our food on our laps while we covered the table with maps. Leonardo brought the most advanced map of them all. He brought guns too but he came alone. His own way of warding off suspicion from himself. Now we are all standing, looking over the draft on the map and trying to figure out where exactly Samantha is going. She was last spotted taking route that intersected several other roads including a mountain path, a valley and a ranch. She could be anywhere. I sucked in a deep breath and exhaled. My eyes returned to the cell I was holding. There are markers of different landscapes and infrastructures in all directions. It still didn't make it easier where she is going. Leonardo stroked his chin an

GINA’S POV “Are you sure?” Quinn asked, pulling the picture closer to him. He peered at it, trying to see what I saw.“Yes. I remember when she had that cut. I don't know if there is any way she could have come to know that my son is here but I do know that if there is anyone mad enough to track you guys down, it's her.”“I thought Leonardo said she had a miscarriage?” Quinn reminds me.“I know which is why I feel it in my gut that she wants to kill my baby because she lost hers. I know it's a hunch but…”“I will check it out. We have nothing right now. This is the best we have been able to make out in hours, we will work with it.” Hailey’s husband took the lead immediately. He had Samantha's image printed out and he left with some of his own to have her face run through any database there is and see if she may have come anywhere near Australia.Meanwhile, I suggested to Quinn that we call Leonardo. He didn't buy it. He wouldn't even entertain it but I insisted. If anyone could find

GINA'S POV “How did you figure it out?” Quinn asked, his legs crossed and his back resting on the plush seat in his office. I sat on the table. He was wheeled so close that his face could touch my lap.“Reggie once told me that that girl, Aura, was slaughtered like an animal. And I found his description strange because he never said anything that would make me that he was close to you guys enough to have tagged along when the two of you went to find Aura. So I wondered how he knew. He didn't say something which I expected to hear and I found it rather strange.”“Why was that?”“He didn't talk about who the guy that killed her was. The way he spoke of the guy, it was obvious he knew him well but he avoided giving any details about him. Not even his skin color. Why else would someone do that if not that they unconsciously wanted to make sure the person was never known.”There was a small smile tugging on Quinn's lips when I was through. I could tell he was impressed.“Aren't you a sma

QUINN’S POVWhen I saw the pained look on her face, I regretted every advising her to do this. Even though she finally settled back and looked comfortable again, the feeling still did not go away.‘I adjusted the headphone and continued to listen to their conversation. I seemed to have missed a word or two while I was lost in thought.“I guessed that would be his question. Quinn still hasn’t stopped thinking about that girl.” I frowned. It was like I could see him making that small grin like he knew everything about me.“Honestly, I don’t care” Gina said, indifferently. “just answer the question.”“I will but Gina, arent’t you curous to know how all this began. I will gladly tell you along with what Quinn wants to hear.”I squeezed the car seat. Even now he stills jumps at any chance to soil my name. There was an uncomfortable silence of Gina’s lips before she finally spoke.“Since you like telling stories, go ahead.”‘Damn it.’ I smashed my fist on the steering wheel. This fucking s
