BETRAYED BY THE MAFIA LORD Chapter Fifty-three
LEO’S POV I was out of breath, choked by the shock her lips gave me when I kissed them. I actually thought she would be upset. Well, I had a slap across the face but the grin on her lips told me she wasn't upset. It had been a day after the episode with Samantha. I was stewing with rage at the thought of what she dared to do. But most of all, I was angry at myself. She didn't deserve the way I treated her. She wanted my love and I made her believe she would get it. I turned into a love-deprived fool just so I could snag on her family wealth. But I didn't love her, the woman I loved died because of her. Although I know I am to blame, I still couldn't get myself to even like Samantha after that.Hell, the thoughts filled my head and seeped into my sleep and for the first time in a long while, I had nightmares that I could not drink away. It was then, while I was losing my mind about everything that I decided to call the only person that calmed my nerves; Gina Romano.Watching h

GINA'S POV I drove my car out into the dark streets of New York. Headlights flashing on my windows as cars blazed past me. The North winds sweep in to flutter my hair. I gripped hard on the steering wheel, eyes forward and brushing through the roads that curved all the way up to the villa. I had called Nanny Ann and she told me Quinn is home giving Derek a shower in the tub in his (Quinn’s) own room. I wasn't thinking of anything other than that. I just wanted to get to the house. To get away from my fears, which had grown nightmarish wings and were chasing me.The drive was chaotic and quick. I was wheeling into the villa the next moment. I left my heels at the foot of stairway, apologizing to the butler while I hurried up the steps and into Quinn’s bedroom. The door was open. Little wet footsteps were leading out of the room and I assumed immediately that Derek had left.I praced towards the bathroom, flashing my eyes at every corner, looking for him. Finally, spotted Quinn, h

Gina's POV - TWO DAYS LATER - The auction is four days away and between today and the d-day, Leo would be busy which means I have nothing to worry about, my would go on undisturbed. It is a rainy day and the cold breeze was chilling anyone on the streets. I parked my bottle some street lamps away and then walked towards Lo’s house.The guard let me in instantly and the butler had some towels bought for me. The chatty Reggie kept me company while they tried to get through to Leo.“Nothing yet?” I asked, my voice was barely audible and laced with worry.“No. He is awfully busy with preparing for his event, I guess. But-” Reggie gave me a innocent look. “I am sure he will rush back once he sees my text.”“Good.” I snuggled nicely into the sheets, letting it conceal me a bit like a child. Reggie straightened his legs playfully. We weren't talking anymore but I knew he was looking for what to say. This habit of his hasn't gone away.“Miss. If I may ask, why did you come by and w

QUINN'S POV I sat, slowly, on the bed next to her. Watching her sleep. I peeped at the alarm clock on the bedside table, It is already past nine and she is still sleeping. I could smell alcohol on her dress which she hadn't taken off. I wonder what she was doing last night? Her eyes suddenly twitched. A deep grumble escaping from her lips. I knew instantly that she was awake. I adjusted on the bed. Then readjusted, looking for a more mysterious position. I wanted to know how she would feel to find me here.The bedsheets rustled before my eyes. She was trying to get herself to wake up but that was going to be hard since she probably has a hangover. Eventually, she opened her eyes, sitting up slowly. Her hair was messy and there were bags beneath her eyes. She was squinting because of the light. For some reason I still couldn't explain, I love her morning appearance and I felt at a loss for not being the one lying on the other side of the bed.She rolled her head around. That's

GINA'S POV Quinn parked the car miles away from the government house. If we needed to be normal, a Ferrari would definitely destroy that impression. We flashed our IDs at the checkpoint and stated our destination. We were led right to the office on the second floor. An air-conditioned white tiled off with the American flag placed in the most expensive flag-holder I had ever seen. We sat close on the brown cushion. Quinn scrolled through his phone and I admired the picture of the United States president, unaware that Quinn had abandoned his phone and was looking at me until I turned. He smiled.“He is too old for you.”I frowned, raising my middle finger at him. This is the third time today he made an annoying joke. What's with him anyways. He has never been this… calm.He chuckled at what I did. “If you want to look at anything, look this way.” “At what?” He leaned forward, so fast. I couldn't even react before his face was right next to mine. His board chest almost touch

LEO’S POV I just stood there, my fingers slightly clenching the bridge of my nose. Exhaustion was evident in the silken look on my face but frown on my lips deep, dark and menacing like the glare in my eyes as I stared at the drunk Reggie drooling on my Multi-million dollar couch.I bet even God knew it was the past we shared they was keeping me from shooting him or perhaps it was just that I didn't want to wipe blood off that couch.I took a moment to exhale, letting the air flow out with the hot air. I scratched my hair in slight frustration and the looked towards the door where the butler was hiding.“Get that thing off my couch.”“Yes Sir.” He shuddered in, running like a frightened child, to wake Reggie. I left them disappearing upstairs. If I stayed a little longer, I will probably shoot them bothThe first thing I did, the instant I pushed the bedroom door open, is to fling myself on the bed, shutting my eyes immediately after.I tried to envision Gina's face when she

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

AL DURO’S POVDid I ever say I hate hospitals? Well I do. Every inch reeked of detergent, disease and old people. What I wouldn’t do to get out of here but I have to suck it up. Important things required some, disgusting, sacrifices.I huffed, crosschecked the fruit basket and then I knocked. “Its Al duro.” I cleared my throat. My hoarse voice getting deeper.The door swung open. A nurse ran out immediately. A plate flew her direction. I dodged immediately. It shattered on the wall behind me.‘It’s only been two days and she is throwing things already. Woof’I gently pat on the door again. “Can I come in now?” There was a brief silence and then she spoke.“Come in.” I smiled and slowly walked into the room. The first thing that greeted me was a bowl face down on the floor then scattered roses and a woman in hospital blues biting her lip. Her hair disheveled and her face smudged with tears. She looked like she was having a schizophrenic episode. “Samantha? Can you hear me?” “Ye

LEO’S POVShe stared at me, voiceless. I scoffed. “So now you can’t talk?” Really?”She pursed her lips; fear in her eyes. I walked off, trying to blow off the rage building up inside me. It didn’t work. I shot a bloody gaze at her. She flinched a little but then composed herself. Every bit of her telling me she is not backing down easily.“You don’t scare me, you bastard.”I ignored her walking away.“Sam. Sam. Sam. Don’t push me. I’ve done everything for you. I had my business put on hold because you asked me to be here. I’ve bought everything you said you needed, snuggled you in at night. Every space of time I have is virtually occupied by you an our child. I haven’t lain a hand on a woman months before you said you were pregnant but still…” I took a moment, to suck in a breath . then I spun around to look her in the eyes.“Still you call me 50 times every day. You text me nonstop and you keep accusing me of sleeping around. You’ve gone mad Samantha. I won’t let you drive me crazy

LEO’S POVTHREE MONTHS LATERIt never rains this much in may. Tonight is different. The downpour was twice as heavy. Cold winds froze the windshield and seeped in through the windows I had cracked open. The damp road reeked of grease and motor oil. My phone is on vibrate, dancing away on the passenger seat. You would expect that I would be dying to get home; to get warm. But honestly, I wasn’t. the cold site me just fine. The chilling feeling of my bones contracting as my body iced; it is a peace I havn’t felt in a while. For a moment, I actually thought that my entire life would turn out to be a dream if I closed my eyes and let the cold enveloped me in her arms full of icy nectar. Oh how I missed the quiet. I could get used to..A hand banged against my window, jolting my thoughts. I heaved, squeezing the revolver holstered to my weight. I sucked in a breath and exhaled slowly, trying to let the anger out. That son of a bitch better have a good reason for this. I opened my eyes and

GINA'S POVI stood in front of the mirror built-in to the left door of the giant closet inside the luxury penthouse. The cold morning breeze wafts the curtains and chills my skin. I have only what nature has given me, on. My eyes are closed. It has been a very long year but nothing beat nearly losing my son to that lunatic, Leo. The people I lost and the fear I had to endure still left bone chilling memories that just couldn't fade.Well, Derek is finally far away from all this but for some reason I couldn't get the peace I thought I would. Perhaps it’s because I couldn't call. Hailey must have crossed multiple continents by now; there is no way I could get to her from a cell phone. I know where she would be eventually and after was that make me so restless. My son isn't going to see me again, not for another four or even Ten years. I wondered how I could cope. I think that is the reason I haven’t been able to feel at ease.I took a deep breath and open my eyes. The figure that stood

AL DURO'S POVI watched him stare listlessly, from the Golden Brown door to the wallpaper and back to his glass of wine but it was just to refill it and repeat the action again. Honestly, in all the time I have been with Leonardo Fernandez I had never seen him so devastated. I have to admit I found myself acknowledging that I hit the guy pretty hard. Not that I didn't like it though. Leonardo sighed heavily. It drew my attention.“You know, brandy can't help you.”He ignored me well more like he didn't hear me. His eyes are sullen, his head falling and gloom marred his features. In a way he is like an awoken corpse.“Leonardo I'm being honest.”He rose, not sparing me any glance while he walked to the bar counter in his living room to pick the fifth bottle of brandy. I sprung to my feet from the armchair I had occupied, launched towards him and grabbed the bottle.“Quit it man, you are stronger than this!”He gave me a blank stare and then grinned mockingly.“I thought so too, well,

GINA’S POVI wheeled into the parking lot of the hanger. An ambulance right behind me, roughly screeching to a halt. I hopped down, lifting a revolver gun out of the car. The ambulance door swung open and Quinn alighted. A bazooka placed on his shoulder. His radio was reporting. “Nothing living on site Boss.”He looked at his men in the ambulance. “It’s clear, move him now.” Quinn ordered. I took the front, they followed behind me. The jet just a few feet away. Three guards lay in wait with a woman. She has a thin purple scarf over her neck, covering part of her face.The doctors pushed the stretcher onward. Derek had been strapped down on so he wouldn't fall. Quinn hovering around us, watching the parameter. The doctors pushed Derek up into the craft while I stopped in front of the lady.Her face is hidden but I could tell she is smiling.“Thank you… Hailey. This means the world to me.”“You don't need to thank me. It’s Derek we were talking about here. I love him like he is my ow

GINA'S POV That long, dragging piercing sound of a faulty radio, that's the only thing I could hear when my head hit the ground. My eyes flickered and the pain in my head just didn't stop gnawing at me.I held what seemed like the bashed side and tried to pull myself up. The whole world is in chaos. Black boots stumbling back and forth beside me. Men yelling... falling. There is blood everywhere.I couldn't think but my subconscious mind is able to calculate and know that I have to flee so I did. Stomping around like I was blind. The debris of blown up rocks with jagged edges tore the skin on my feet. I groaned but I couldn't put myself together enough to tell which way is right.Someone is yelling, his voice tried to break through the screeching sound in my ear but it couldn’t. I couldn't tell what he was saying. Until… he grabbed me “Take cover.” He dragged me down with him, enveloping me in his arms. An explosion erupted the very next second. I shrunk into his enclosure, shudder

I heard the baritone voice behind the door. I spun around immediately. A relieved smile settling on my face. I had been waiting for him. I let go of the hem of my shirt rumble by my grip. The door opened slowly and Quinn walked in. His clothes are ripped a little and he is covered in dust. Tears weld up in my eyes. With our lips sealed I asked him, if he was hurt. He heaved and shock his head. He wasn't . I ran to him and hugged him. We shared a passionate kiss for a moment before we disengaged. He pulled me to him and we both faced Reginald.“You said you could find him right?” Quinn asked.“Yes.” He said, navigating away from his bed.“Leonardo has two safe houses. Four months back, one of the was burned out so they decided to make the second one fire proof. Then when Gina came, he began to fantasize having a family so he renovated the place to look like a home. If he is taking him to a safe place then that's the location.”“Directions, We don't have time.” Reggie shock his

GINA'S POV I greeted the nurses and found my way down the hall. Reggie's ward has been changed. He was in a more luxurious one. I wore Shades over my eye and my hair down. The bandages ha been removed, some places on my face has been badly scarred. The doctor said I couldn't get surgery yet. I have gotten quite a few in past already. So, I have to wear some plasters and so my hair hid them.I got to the room on that floor, knocked and waited. I heard light giggling and ruffling of sheets then the door opened. A young nurse greeted me and scurried off. A button undone in her apparel. I walked in slowly, looking around the room. At the femminie choice of flowers and the heavy scent of ladies’ choice cologne. I shock my head, pulling myself a seat. Reggie is watching me, my face to be precise. It has been a while since I visited because of the accident.“What are you looking at? We haven't spoken in weeks and the wallpaper is what first catches your attention?”.“Not really.
