Chapter 5

Kimberly:

I had stayed in the room for hours, I had cried and I was running out of patience. I didn’t know what had happened to him or what was happening, the loud noise I was hearing outside went silent the moment I got into this room that looked like a secret hideout. It had a lot of things in there, snacks, water, there were a lot of systems attached to it and all I did was sit at a spot and hope that things were going to be okay with him. I wanted him fine and back.

“Kim.” I felt his warm hands on my cheeks, and my eyes opened wide, I had fallen asleep waiting for him, and there he was in front of me, his head was bleeding a little and he looked very weak and tired, I pulled him into a tight hug and I held him tight for a long while.

I was shaking and crying, I thought I had lost him. Just having him hold me in his arms reminded me of the times that I needed him to be with me but he wasn’t. All the time I craved to be hugged this way but he wasn’t anywhere to be found, it made me realize how much I missed him and wanted him to be with me badly.

“I thought I lost you” Tears ran down my cheeks and my grip around his torso tightened.

“Don’t do this to me again, please don't leave me, you're the only one I have, you're the only one that loves me, please. I will die if I lose you.” My entire body quivered.

“You’ll never lose me.” He pulled away from me and held onto my face, he caressed my face and wiped my eyes.

“I will never leave you. I am yours, Kim.” His eyes paired mine, I saw the way he looked at me like he had always done but this time it was more intense, desire filled his eyes.

I pushed my face closer, and we were a second from each other, I could feel his breath fan on my nose, he pulled me even further and he kissed me on my forehead, he wiped my tears with his lips and grabbed my lips in his.

I kissed him back with all I had, I encircled my hand on his neck and at the moment all I thought of was how good it felt to have him kiss me, how it felt to be in his arms.

He kissed from my lips down to my neck and he slowly started to rain kisses down to my cleavage. I moaned. I wanted more, I wanted to feel more of what I felt.

“Kim.” He called my name and I moaned in response, I liked the way he kissed me and I didn’t want him to stop.

“I will never hurt you, Kim, I love you too much to hurt you.” He kissed me down to my boobs and he whispered his words, if I wasn’t so close to him, I wouldn’t have heard him.

He pulled away from me and kissed me on my lips.

“Thank you for coming back.” I held him tight.

GodFather pulled me up from the bed

“We are leaving here now.”

“Now?” I gasped.

“I have to protect you by all means.” He rushed his words. He was back to being a bit tense, the atmosphere intensified again and it was I was slowly a grip of myself, my anxiety was back.

“Let’s go.” He pulled me out of the room and I followed him like I was his puppet.

We got to his car which was also destroyed by bullets and he drove out.

The drive was silent, I was having a rethink. I not only kissed my GodFather, but we almost made out.

I covered my lips with my palm. What were you thinking Kimberly? I mentally cursed myself, but I did enjoy it.

The car was silent, Godfather drove carefully and silently and as I stared at him, watching him give no expression I wondered what had happened, what was he thinking of.

He said he needed to protect me, he said he may not come back. Why did he want to protect me, what does he want to protect me from, what are we running from? Why can we not go to the police?

“Why can we not go to the police?”I asked, he didn’t turn to me but he replied.

“The police cannot help in the case, Kimberly.” I was very tense and anxious again.

“Why? What are you hiding? Only people who hide things from the authorities run from them, what are you? Only people who have done bad things run. Why are we running?” I asked.

“Sunshine.” He tried to sweet talk me by calling me sunshine which gets into my head but I was not going to let him do that.

“Don’t call me that! You’ll not keep things from me if I'm your so-called sunshine.” I yelled at the top of my voice. Ethan hated it when I raised my voice at him. I shouldn’t even do it, he is older than me.

He stopped abruptly.

“You want to know the reason why I left without telling you, the reason why I stayed away from you, the reason why I am running from this?”

“Stop repeating my questions.” I rolled my eyes.

“I am a mafia, your father was a mafia too before he died and your life has always been in danger because you are a billionaire and the daughter of a Mafia.”

“They are after this spoiled brat billionaire who doesn’t understand that I only want to keep her safe.”

“So you kill people and do drugs for a living, you're the reason why a lot of people die? You're a serial killer.”In all the books I had read, serial killers were always sent by some mafia men and the Mafia men were always wicked. As I was thinking it clicked my head.

“If they are after me, does it mean that they are the same people that killed my family?” I asked and he nodded.

“They want you gone my sunshine and I have protected you all this while, I don’t want them to hurt you. You are all that I have.”
