Mafia’s Property. Hundred & Seventy-Three: Ava & Angela.
Natalia's POV: When I got to Ava's room, I was shocked to find Angela there. Seated on the bed beside Ava who was fast asleep and had an IV drip connected to her little hand. Caterina was on the other side but on a chair. “Natalia?” Caterina rose to her feet as soon as I stepped in, locking the door behind me. I moved across the room to her.Caterina took both of my hands in hers. “You had us worried! Why did you sneak out of the house? You could have been killed!” She scolded and for the first time, I didn't have a response to fire back.Like I'd said earlier. I fucked up. Big time.“You can't do something like this,” she continued sternly, eyes hard. “What you did was wrong. Totally wrong!” “Zia,” Angela's voice dragged our attention to her. “I'm sure she knows how dangerous her actions wh where but can you blame her? Her little sister was taken.”“But still—”“She's alive and well, isn't she?” Angela asked softly, her fingers still moving in Ava's hair.“Fine,” Caterina said

Angela's POV: The shocked expression on Natalia's face would have been hilarious under a different circumstance but not now. Yes, I had been trying to play it cool, act like what those monsters did to me was nothing, like it didn't bother me. I didn't even want zia to know but since Carlo knew about it, I knew it was only a matter of time but when zia spoke to me after my return, I was relieved to find out that he didn't tell her the full truth and made it look like those men had just groped and beat me up and threatened to rape me. Even more relieved to find out that he hadn't said a word about it to Alessandro. Left to me, I'd rather none of my family found out but with Carlo, it was inevitable since that disgusting pig felt like it was a thing of honor to brag about it to Carlo… Bottom line, Aless and zia can and should never find out. So, yeah. I'd decided to act like that was all it was until Natalia had to go and put me in my feelings.. I thought I was strong enough but

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED & SEVENTY-Five: Natalia's POV: My blood turned ice cold as Alessandro's voice thundered in the room and my eyes darted to the door to find a red faced Alessandro. Who was the fool who got caught up in the moment and forgot to lock the damn door? Me? I chanced a glance at Angela, and shit. This was not good at all. It wasn't. I wasn't a fool. I knew she wanted to keep this from them and now…. Now…. “Uhmm,” I cleared my throat as he shut the door behind him, approaching us. “Hi, Aless. Is there something you want?” Great. A lame attempt at distracting him. He didn't even spare me a glance as he stopped in front of his sister who looked like she'd just seen a ghost and was seconds away from shitting herself. “What did you just say, Angela?” His voice wasn't loud anymore, but anyone with common sense could tell he was dangerously furious. When Angela said nothing but blinked up at him, his eyes narrowed on her. “Did you just say what I th

Alessandro’s POV: Natalia balked at my words, the anger clear as day on her face but I was way past caring. I was furious! This was all that doctor's fault and he'd taste my wrath and fury! “You can't call your sister stupid!” Natalia snapped as she seemed to have recovered from her shock. “How can you be this stupid? Your sister doesn't need any of this now! This madness, this insensitivity, this anger!” What the fuck was she on about? “And what do you think my sister needs, huh?” I barked in her face. “Pampering? The lies you're about to feed her? Telling her everything will be okay when nothing is?” Natalia scoffed bitterly, shaking her head. “God! You're such an asshole! Can you hear yourself?!” Who exactly does she think she is questioning me like that? She wasn't here when Niko ruined Angela’s life and all in the name of love! And here she was repeating the same fucking mistake! Fine, the doctor may not have had a hand in the kidnapping but he'd been th

Natalia's POV: As soon as he stormed out of the room, I fell to my knees beside a heart broken, Angela. Guilt twisted my insides as I watched her cry into her hands, shoulders trembling. This was my fault. “I'm so sorry, Angie,” I whispered softly, my voice hoarse. “I should have at least locked the door.” She said nothing as her sobs filled the room and my hand landed gently on her shoulder. “I'm really sorry. I know my apologies won't fix this, but—” She shook her head, dropping her hands as she sniffled a little. “It's not your fault… I guess he would have found out anyway.” “But—” “It's fine, trust me,” She cut in sharply, red rimmed eyes staring back at me. “Don't beat yourself up about it. I'll be fine.” I gave her a skeptical look, searching my brain and coming up with nothing to say to ease the awkward tension. What had just happened way beyond crazy. I knew Alessandro loved his sister—I mean, he had to, right?—but his behavior toward her was anythi

Natalia’s POV: ‘What are you doing here?!’ The overhead light suddenly came on, stabbing my eyes, and I squinted, letting my retinas adjust to the sudden brightness. And when it did, they zeroed in on Carlo. And fuck, he looked pissed. “What are you doing here?” He repeated, eyes narrowed into slits. I swallowed, licking my lips, inching a bit closer to him until we were almost a foot apart. “I…I came to check in on you,” I said quietly. “You don't have to, I'm good.” He said that in the most dismissive manner ever I felt my stomach clench. “I’m sorry,” I blurted nervously but when he said nothing, I continued. “I acted recklessly and put your life in danger… I shouldn’t have done that.” “You think that's what this is?” He scoffed, shaking his head and I frowned, confused. “You think I'm upset about that?” Wasn't that the reason? He got wounded because of me, shouldn't he be upset about that? Anyone would be, right? Slowly, with slight effort, he rose from

Natalia's POV: Carlo lied.It's been almost four days since I last spoke to him and when I went over to his bedroom to seek him out first, I was told, ‘Don is out.’ The same words I've been hearing for two days in a row.I'd spoken to Doctor Camilla when she came over to check on Ava and Angela but she said nothing other than ‘he's a grown man and can handle himself,’ ‘it's not the first time he's disappeared, especially after an incident like this that left him wounded.’ Okay, but all those other times, I didn't know him, haven't met, wasn't in love with him or had a child with him. The not knowing was killing me plus the asshole wasn't responding to my texts or calls! He wanted me to take care of myself but didn't he know how behavior would stress me out?Plus, I was only now remembering the discussion I had with Doctor Camilla weeks back. What if he experiences one of his traumatic episodes coupled with the fact that he'd just escaped death? How would he cope? ‘Don't be silly,

Angela's POV: It was so much easier doing this with someone else. On my own, it was like mission impossible. Deceiving guards and trying to navigate my way but Natalia made it easier. We were at the huge Iron, rusted gate leading to the dungeon and I reached under my nightgown for the key I'd stolen. “Here,” I extended my hand to Natalia and her eyes grew in size. “Where did you get that?” She whispered harshly. I shrugged. “I have my ways.” She shot me an impressed look. “You must have really prepared for this.” Yes, I have. More than anything. After that incident in my room. I'd been restless. I'd seen the dangerous glint in Alessandro's eyes before he stormed out of my room. Okay, I might have misread him and he really did leave Rueben alone. But the way he'd been avoiding me lately said otherwise. I knew that fuckface, he was my twin. I knew he was hiding something from me…. “It's not locked,” Natalia's shocked voice pulled me out of my head and I blinked up at h

Mafia’s Property. Two Hundred & Thirty-Four:
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & THIRTY-FOUR: Luca's POV: FLASHBACK..THE PREVIOUS DAY…Taking my phone out, I typed out one last text message and I hit send.I stared at the text I'd just sent to Enzo.Me: I know who shot Gianpaolo. Call me.As I waited for a reply or his call, I had time to reflect on my decision. There was no going back now. I thought as I drove back home.I was being fooled by Angela and it had to stop. I loved her. I really did but I know better now…She didn't love me. Not one bit.I was nothing but a tool and yes, years ago, when it all started, I knew our relationship was forbidden but something about the genuine love and care she'd shown me made me say, ‘fuck it.’ There was a time where I thought only she understood me. That her love was special. Sure, papà loved me, zia too but with Angela, it had been different. I'd shared my problems with her and she'd done the same. She'd told me the story about her mother's death and I really wanted to make amends, for her s

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & THIRTY-THREE: Luca's POV: She barely had time to register what was going on as both men bound her arms at her back and she spat at Enzo. “You slimy bastard! You could have just killed me!” He shrugged, shoving his gun back into his pocket. “I already told you,” he smiled cruelly. “Death for you, is mercy. When Carlo hears about everything Luca and I have to say to him? It's going to be so much fun.”“Fuck you!” He jutted his chin. “Take her to the car.” “Yes, boss.”“Fucking bastards!” She yelled, kicking her feet as the men held on to her tightly. “Spineless piece of shit, Luca!” I felt my heart squeezed. But it was okay. I was okay.I did the right thing.I DID THE RIGHT THING.So why does it hurt?“...That's why I never loved you!! Never man enough!! Never ever useful!!! Too weak! Too pathetic! Too—”“You're disgusting, Angela,” Enzo cut her insults off. “You're the pathetic one, Angela. He was a fucking child!!” He barked and I flinched, clamping my l

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & THIRTY-TWO:Luca's POV:The look on her face was almost comical if the situation wasn't already crazy.She looked beyond shocked, disbelief written on her face and it just showed how little she rated me. Well, not anymore.It hurt, I wouldn't lie. It does but fuck it.In seconds, she schooled her features, putting on that mastery art of hers… “Sir, I think you have me mistaken, I'm not Angela,” she tried to give a sign, her eyes pleading with mine as a fake smile stretched her lips. “And if you'll excuse me, I have other patients to attend to.” She tried to move but Enzo stepped forward. “Take off that bloody wig, bitch!!” His voice was a deep, dangerous command, at this point, he didn't need to pull out a gun to inflict fear… His aura was enough.But then, Angela was no easy opponent. Of course, she didn't back down, she kept that smile still in place her eyes darting between Enzo and I like we were crazy.“I'm sorry,” she let out a small laugh. “Why am I being
Mafia’s Property. Two Hundred & Thirty-One: Angela's Mission (2)
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & THIRTY-ONE: Angela's POV: The closer I got to VIP ward 305, the more the pounding of my heart increased.It was now or never.This was dangerous. I knew that but it was worth the risk. I knew to expect at least at least a guard or three surrounding his room but I wasn't trained in martial arts for the sake of it and I could be sly as fuck. What's a bunch of guards that I couldn't take on?Hopefully, it doesn't get to that and I wouldn't be needing to fight. I was in a nurse's attire, hopefully, I'm unrecognized. Even my eyes were brown, instead of blue. It should work.Turns out, Gianpaolo's room wasn't just along the others in the hallway, you had to take a turn, just a bit by the right.Wow.They must have really wanted him safe, I scoffed to myself.Just as I turned right and noticed the room, there on the mini waiting chair was a guard who looked tired from fighting sleep but awake. To his left were three cups of coffee, leftover food—he wasn't alone.Where
Mafia’s Property. Two Hundred & Thirty: Angela's mission
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & THIRTY: Angela's POV: THE NEXT NIGHT…2:08 PMSurprisingly, it had taken Luca a few hours to get me the address, ward and time of the nurses and doctor's routine. Guess he was not so useless after all.Turns out the hospital was one of the most popular in the country. They were really hiding in plain sight. I took out my binoculars, getting ready to get my job done. Thankfully, it was one of those gigantic buildings with windows EVERYWHERE.I adjusted my binoculars, squinting to get a good view and make sure my plan is perfect and fool proof. I mustn't make mistakes this time.The hospital came into a clearer view right before my eyes. I noticed there were fewer nurses at the reception—about four or five, two are currently fighting and failing to keep their eyes open behind the desk and I scoffed. I raised the binoculars to the first floor—completely empty. The third—I could see a nurse and a doctor…wait… are they about to fuck? Whatever.I moved my attention
Mafia’s Property. Two Hundred & Twenty-Nine: One Last Text.
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & TWENTY-NINE:Natalia's POV: My stomach was in painful knots as the doctor led us to his room. My hands felt clammy, and my legs felt weak but I kept moving. According to the doctor, we weren't allowed to see him yet but we could just take a glance through the windows and that was okay for me for now, I guess.I don't know if Carlo noticed my uneasiness; his hand squeezed mine a bit tighter, as if grounding me and I was grateful for it.We got to the window and I couldn't hold back the single tear that rolled down my cheek as a small gasp pushed past my lips. I was vaguely aware of Carlo's arm coming around my shoulders as I stared at Gianpaolo— my father.The number tube, IVs, had my heart sinking and I stifled a sob, a big bandage went around his head and machines I've never seen before— “Oh God,” I let out a sob, my chest heaved as I tried to swallow my cries. I promised to be strong. I will be strong.My eyes burned with hot tears as I stared at his motionle
Mafia’s Property. Two Hundred & Twenty-Eight: Disturbance.
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & TWENTY-EIGHT:Carlo's POV: The doctor had said the exact thing Enzo had said. He'd asked that we hoped and prayed. ‘Prayed.’I haven't done that in fucking ages. Where do I start from? And in my experience, it usually goes unanswered. But the way things were going, I didn't mind going down on my knees and trying again. Praying in hope that Gianpaolo makes it out alive.He has to. Not quite long after, Natalia had regained consciousness. Camilla assured me that it was nothing serious, apart from the detected low sugar level which made me frown. Haven't they been watching her diet? Giving her the best meds? And then I thought back to the incident in the last few days. No one around here has had it easy so I brushed it aside and asked that they recommended the right food and all and got my own copy of the list the doctors had made so I could also monitor her feeding and the rest.Soon after Camilla had cleared her, she was up on her feet and asking to be tak

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & TWENTY-SEVEN: Natalia's POV: ‘...He's fighting for his life.’I swayed on my feet, suddenly lightheaded as my chest wound up so tight no air escaped or came in. My vision blurred but I could feel hands trying to steady me.I… I only just got him back.Why?Why?!!!!Why me all the time!?!?What if he dies? WHAT IF HE DIES?!Oh God. Oh God. Which superior being's meal had I pissed in before I was born? Why was I allowed happiness for a fleeting second only to watch it being snatched away?! And… and… Gianpaolo? My heart ached. He's only just met me too! I heard muffled voices around me but I couldn't seem to concentrate. I knew I was panicking but I couldn't do anything about it.Fuck. Fuck.I can't have a panic attack now. My… my baby. It will upset them….I tried to claw my way back to sanity but my throat ached, my chest felt like it trapped air in it and I couldn't fucking breathe.Now, I was panicking because I thought I was killing my baby.I was desper
Mafia’s Property. Two Hundred & Twenty-Six: Enzo’s News.
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & TWENTY-SIX: Carlo’s POV: Something about the urgency of Enzo’s voice made my stomach tighten and beside me, I could feel Natalia go stiff. What could be the problem now? “…Look, if he's upset again, I can go speak with him, there’s no need for trouble,” Natalia said from beside me, already making a move to slip out of bed when I shook my head. “Don’t worry, there will be no trouble,” I assured her. I had no intention of fighting with the man. Still, I wasn't going to hug and kiss his cheeks and make up but for her, I’m willing to act civil. She eyed me with uncertainty and concern. “Are you sure? You heard Enzo, he says there's a problem.”“Doesn’t mean I’ll let it escalate,” I replied calmly. “Come on now, let’s freshen up and we can deal with whatever afterward—”“But, Carlo—”“We reek of sweat and sex, we should clean up before solving whatever the problem is,” I urged and then turned to the door with a louder voice. “Enzo, we’ll be down in ten min—”“Fi
