Chapter Forty-Eight: None The Wiser

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

The night was spent with Vito and I hugging in bed, me crying a little and watching whatever show was on the tv to attempt to try and distract us from the entire situation.

As I had told Vito, I didn’t want to have children yet, not only was I not ready but with all that’s been happening recently, with my father, Shane but also, Vito and I still in the early stages of our relationship, bringing a child into that mess wouldn’t have been a good thing. But to hear that I was pregnant but due to whatever was put in my water for reasons I still don’t know, we never even got the chance to make a decision ourselves.

Waking up the morning after, I still felt a little tired and a tad dizzy, but knowing I had my father to look after, I shake that feeling off and jump into the shower to wash off everything that had happened yesterday and put it all behind me, well best that I could.

After checking my father was okay and even taking him on a walk around the garden for some fresh air, I put

    Once I had disclosed the reason for my sudden change in mood, the room grew silent as the pair share a look of understanding, but I only stare at the ground. I knew this day was invariably going to happen at some point, but I had told myself that I wouldn’t need to think about it until it happens. This helped me to get over the fact that Shane was no longer here but not that I’d have to fully say goodbye to him, before I could simply pretend, he had moved away. But my decision had only allowed the bottled-up feelings to wash over me at once, I should have given myself time to process this all. “Each time that I think I’m past what happened with Shane, something always springs up which takes me right back to where I was.” I say with a sigh still looking down at his name written in gold letters, that same fever like dream that I had with Shane sprung into my mind, the way his voice sang my name repeated as like some kind of horror film. “It’ll be okay Pequeño, it may be a hard event

    I was able to successfully keep my emotions at bay initially, fighting with the odd tear that freighted to cascade down my face when the realisation of why we were all sat in this church came to my mind. That was until we all told to stand as eight men walked down the isle, resting on their shoulders was a light wooden coffin, which is what gave the permission for my silent cries to erupt. Vito’s arm around my shoulders instantly as I cried on his chest, knowing this would be the last time that Shane and I would be in the same room as each other, weighed so heavily on my heart. The normal processings of the ceremony continued, the victor saying a few words and even some songs were sung, but it wasn’t until the man I knew as Shane’s distant uncle took the stage, I knew something was amiss. Shane would always tell me how much him and this uncle of his hated each other, according to Shane, this man had been their family's pride and joy, considering he was the youngest boy until Sha

    It was as though time froze for those first seconds, Vito’s eyes locked with the woman’s, his holding nothing but anger and hers, a mixture of shock and fear. Even the mourners who were about to throw their roses down to Shane paused and stared over with shock, no one truly knowing where this encounter was about to go. Once I realised where we were standing, I knew it wasn’t fair to Shane if a huge fight was to break out in the middle of his funeral, so walking over to Vito, I take his arm and pull him away slightly. With the same look of anger on his face, he releases the crazy lady’s hand and backs away slightly, ensuring that I was behind him. I thought this would have been the end of it, but apparently, Jayden didn’t get what I was trying to do and steps forward angrily. “What the fuck is your problem lady?!” He asks throwing his arms out to the sides as he spoke, whilst this seems to snap the woman from her shocked stance after Vito had saved my face from her hand. “What’s

    Once they all returned to Vito’s home after the funeral, Coraline excused herself in order to get some sleep. Due to the havoc the miscarriage was having on her body, she felt more drained than ever. After making sure she was okay in bed, Vito walks down the stairs to find Jayden in the kitchen pulling the tie from around his neck. “I never like wearing these contradictions, feels as though I’m being strangled, which I have multiple times, so I don’t need a demonstration.” Jayden grumbles throwing the tie to lay on the counter, whilst Vito only lets out a sign brewing some coffee. “How’s she doing?” Jayden asks understanding why Vito looked a little low, he was more than worried about Coraline and all that has been happening with her. “She’s okay, she’s putting a brave face on, but I can see how much the miscarriage is affecting her.” Vito explains grabbing a glass cup out of the cupboard whilst Jayden just smiled looking over at him. “She’ll be okay, she’s made of some tough st

    Waking up on Monday, I thought I would be a little stressed and worried for what may lay ahead for me now that I had to go back to work, but I wasn’t at all. Yes, I knew it would feel so strange that Shane wouldn’t be there, a hole was always going to be where he stood no matter who Kevin had hired to help me, but I also knew I couldn’t allow that to run my life. I knew Shane for so many years and spent countless hours with him, especially when it was only us two either opening up the café or closing it, that would be the time we’d work and talk about some deep topics. I know more than anything that he’d want me to get on with my life, always keep him in my memories of course but not allow the horrible death that he endured to ruin that. I was somewhat excited to walk back through those doors, with how my life has been and the many battles I have been forced to face at once, this was sort of signifying the end to all of that and the doors opening up for the new becomings.

    The morning was spent with welcoming all of the old regulars back, most would tell me how great it was that the café had reopened and how great I looked through everything. There would be the odd person who would bring Shane up and explain how it would never be the same without him and ask me if I had more information on his death, where I’d simply agree with them that it would never be the same but be quick to tell them I didn’t know much and we’re leaving it up to the police to solve. I couldn’t believe how happy being back and making all of these drinks for the regulars made me, for once I had something else on my mind other than grieve or pain. The many conversations I had with people telling me what they had done whilst the café was closed really put a smile on me face, for me over the past few months, it was as though my life had come to a standstill due to Shane and the café shutting. But now I’m talking with people, it’s showing me that no, life carried on and even though I

    I could only lay there with my head still in Scott’s lap as four paramedics rush into the room with bags of medical supplies which were hopefully, going to help me. I was asked questions, but it was as though I couldn’t hear what was being said to me, the only sound ringing in my ears was of my heart pounding in my chest. The words of Vito slipping through playing around like a broken record, even though there were so many unknowns about this entire situation, I knew if he told me I’ll be fine, I would be. “We’re going to need the stretcher, I’ve done a check of her neck, and it doesn’t seem as though she needs a brace!” One of the paramedics shouts to the other which ran out of the fridge, before ensuing that the bandages to stop the bleeding were pulled tight around my shoulder, this allowing me to scream in pain. “I know it hurts Coraline, I’ll have my friend here administer you some stronger painkillers to keep you comfortable until we get make it to the hospital, okay?” The nic

    Vito sat in his car with Jayden shaking with anger, he knew he shouldn’t have ignored Henson and wonder why he hadn’t tried anything in a few months. Of course, the first person he would go for is Coraline, how could Vito have been so stupid to allow Coraline to go back to work after they were seen together in public numerous times, it’s as though he was asking someone to try and hurt her! “It ain’t your fault man, you’ve had a lot on-” Jayden begins to say knowing how much Vito was beating himself up due to what happened to Coraline. “But it is! She’s my fucking girlfriend, parading her around the way I did and than allowing her off on her own was asking for trouble! For fuck's sake she’s just had a miscarriage, she doesn’t need all this bullshit, especially, getting shot!” Vito shouts mostly towards himself, he had a feeling it was a little too quiet on that front but still, he allowed the silence to continue! “Scott did what he had to, you know if they would have found Corali

    8 months later: The bright lights of the sun streaming through the open windows cause my eyes to flutter open, feeling a little dazed at first, I look around and begin to panic at the scene. I was all alone in the huge bedroom before me, my mind of course going to the worst-case scenario as usual. Until a little note sat on the pillow beside me grabs my attention, it read: “I thought you could do with a little more sleep after the night you had, Lucio and I have gone downstairs to allow you some rest. Take as much time as you need, Vito x” With a smile at how sweet he was, I place the note to rest on top of the bedside table feeling the worry lift from my body. I barely had any sleep last night due to our son Lucio, having a rough night of his own. Vito kept asking if I wanted him to stay awake with me, but I knew at least one of us needed to be more alive this morning, but how nice he was that he took Lucio so I could get a little more rest. I gave birth to our beautiful son

    Vito walked the halls of the warehouse watching as his new men from Henson went on their rampage and took whatever they could carry and even more. To him, this was the last job he needed to do before he could get home to Coraline, the life which he wanted was so close snd even growing inside the woman he loved and there was nothing that was going to stand in his way to get it. “One of the vans have gone to the hideout boss, it was full to the brim, these men work fast that’s for sure.” Buster informs Vito rushing into the room, a smile filling Vito’s face as he looked around as more men walked in and out of the room. “Working ahead of schedule, just how I like it.” He smiled crossing his arms over his chest, his mind full of all the ideas of what Coraline and him were going to do with all this money and what he was could to do for their unborn child. “Did you hear Jay; this place will soon be cleared!” Buster cheered over to their friend letting him know the good news, Jayden al

    My legs could have buckled from under me as I began to read further down the page and fully absorb what was written, such confusion, anger and worry filling my entire emotions. Written in a rushed sort of manner stood what appeared to be a list of things Jayden had to do, none were simple or normal when it came to list such as, get the car fixed, grab some groceries etc. Before me stood the list. 1: Poison Coraline and blame Owen 2: Have Vito kill Owen off 3: Kill Adam Hart 4: Have Vito kill Henson 5: Kill Vito on the job 6: Grief with Coraline 7: Have her all to yourself. Each item on the list began to get even more sinister as the list continued, my heart sinking to my feet when I realised that Jayden had been behind all of the horrible things which had been happening recently. I knew right when it happened that it couldn’t have been Owen that poisoned me, none of it made any sense and was impossible to happen! But what also hurt to see, Jayden had been behind the de

    The next morning soon rolls around quicker than I would have liked, I knew the job was looming close with each day, but now it was here, I was riddled with worry. Vito kept repeating that he had gone over each detail so throughly that there was no way anything was to go wrong, but I also knew not to underestimate the police, they could be way ahead of him without Vito even knowing. As we stood in the kitchen getting the last things ready, I stood with my arms crossed and my hands shaking from fear, I worried this would be the last time I’d be able to see him ever and after the news I had told him yesterday, it cut deeper than anyone would expect. “Alright, the men are waiting three streets away from the warehouse with Buster keeping them in check, we have to be there in forty minutes to ensure we hit the place in the window where the security are switching.” Jayden says going over what he had said so many times over the past few days, I’ve heard it so much, I could probably go wit

    The room dropped to silence I had never heard before, my heart in my mouth as I looked to Vito to see his reaction. I knew he wanted to be a father but now was not the time we had discussed; it would hurt so deep if he told me he wasn’t happy. But also, with the death weapon which is in his hand and pointed at Louis’s head, I was more than worried to see where this was going to go. “I only found out yesterday after I went to the restaurant, I wanted to tell you the minute that I saw you, but I knew after how the last pregnancy ended, you’ll be a little more worried about me which is something you don’t need walking into the job tomorrow.” I begin to say breaking the silence when Vito didn’t go to move or say a single word. “I wouldn’t know myself if it wasn’t for Louis, yesterday, we didn’t stop the car because I wanted to look at the scenery, we had to stop the car as I was throwing up on the side of the road which is when Louis asked if I was pregnant. I took a test and I am.” I t

    After managing to successfully, avoid slipping up to Vito and telling him about the baby for the first half of the morning, we pulled up at the huge warehouse which felt like a second home at this point, so Vito can have the last meeting with the guys before the big job tomorrow. Climbing out the car with my huge water bottle in hand hoping water was going to help the sickness ease, I walked up the steep stairs hand in hand with Vito to find it was only Louis waiting there throwing a ball in the air and catching it. “Alright boss and Mrs Boss, Buster and Jayden are running late, something about a crash on the motorway, I tend not to listen to explanations much.” Louis said sort of explaining why the others weren’t here but at the same time, giving us no information at all. “They better hurry up, we have a lot to go over about tomorrow especially, now we have more men on the team to keep in line.” Vito grumbles a little annoyed that we had to wait around for the others to show bu

    We remained at Henson old shop for the rest of the afternoon, Vito explaining to each man what was going to happen with the job and what he expected of them. To my happiness, no other men were killed as they all played ball, but Vito was quick to remind them what was to happen if they either didn’t turn up for the job or did anything to backstab or disrupt him and let’s just say, neither way sounded great for these guys. After the meeting, Vito took us home telling the rest of the guys to meet him at the warehouse tomorrow, whilst we went home to Vito’s huge house that I had yet to be given a tour of. Still being covered in blood from all he had done today, Vito takes a shower as soon as we arrived home leaving me alone to get ready for bed. But now I was alone with my thoughts, I couldn’t help but stand there in such a state of shock for all which had happened in the space of a day. I went to the restaurant and helped them with their Henson problem, finding out soon after that I’

    As soon as the guy dropped to the floor, the room shifted even more as some men even backed as far away from Vito as they could well others, wanted to seem tough and stand their ground looking right at him. “Now we had a thought, Henson had a lot of men under his payroll, some who relied on him to pay their bills, my wife here worried that some of you would grow hungry without him. Which is why as her doting husband, I was sure to set her mind at ease. I have an enterprise and due to recent events, the biggest one in the town. You guys are out of work due to his death, and I have an endless stream of jobs going, do we know where I’m going with this?” Vito asks looking over at the men making it seem as though they had a choice, but we all knew what would happen if they refused to work for him. “I ain’t working for you!” Another man shouted off to the side, where it was now Jayden’s turn to do some crowd control and ended the man’s pleas. “It appears the men which Henson hired wer

    We soon arrived at an office type building right in the centre of London, the busy street offering little to no privacy of what was going in and out of this building. Henson must have not seemed to care what people saw of him if the centre of his operation was right in the centre of the city, or he felt untouchable due to his ego. Pulling up the car around the back of the building in what appeared to be the loading area, Vito reaches into the back and pulls out a gun concealing it within his inside jacket pocket, whilst the gun he had pulled on his father was also in another pocket, how many guns does he think he’ll need?! “Alright Pequeño, you’ll be coming in with us.” Vito explains which certainly, was new information for me. Throughout all of this, Vito had always ensured that I was no where near the danger, but now I’m walking into this. “You’ll be right next to me the entire time and Louis.” He continues whilst the guys begin to get out of Louis’s car beside us, but I was sti
