All Chapters of The Mafias Girl : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I kept looking around for anything to help me till a lady walked in and smiled at me."Oh, ma'am, do you have a phone I can quickly borrow?" I quickly asked.She looked at me and raised her eyebrow, "what for?""My best friend is supposed to be meeting us somewhere and I forgot to do something for him. I wanted to let him know." She stared at me still deciding if I could be trusted or not. "I promise you it will only take a moment. Please." I pleaded.She sighed, "fine but once you're done give it back." She said, pulling out her phone."Thank you," I said.I quickly dialed the house since over the few weeks I'd been staying at Liam's house I memorized every single phone number. I was bored, Liam didn't trust me enough to go outside since he thought I'd run. And technically I would've but they would've caught me before I got very far.Once I dialed the number I waited patiently for him to pick up."Who is this? What the hell do you want?" It was Liam's voice on the phone. I had forgott

We traced the car to a junkyard forty-five minutes away from the gas station. Then they bought the car from a couple that was trying to sell their car. They also paid them extra money to keep quiet about the type of car they were in. I tried paying them more, but they denied it. Whoever had Melody most likely threatened them to keep quiet. Not to take money from anyone who asked too much about the car. I walked away, knowing that there was nothing else I would be able to do.Two days later.After I walked away into my office and sat down in my chair, my phone started to buzz in my pocket. I pulled it out and it was just Charlie.I answered it and was already annoyed with whatever he had to say, "What do you want, Charlie?""I wanted to see how close we were to finding Melody...you may not see it, but everyone in the mafia can see it. You want her back. And not just for leverage." Charlie explained, "Not anymore at least."I quickly scoffed at him, "I don't know what you're talking abo

"Mack?" I shakily said."Hi Melody." Mack said. He walked towards my fathers desk and stood by him."How...you...I saw..." I stuttered."It's a long story Melody, I promise I'll tell you. But we all need to talk with you." Mack politely suggested, pointing at one of the chairs.I stared at him blankly."Melody, please sit down." My father pleaded.I looked at the three of them, upset with each of them."You wanna talk?" I asked."Yes." All three of them mumbled in unison."You have the audacity to ask me to sit down and have a talk with you right after you kidnapped! I get that you guys are my family and stuff but, what the actual hell guys! You locked me in the trunk of a car! You threatened a man's pregnant wife to help you get to me! Then drugged me. And your guys handcuffed me in the car!" I barked.I tried walking away but Nick grabbed my shoulder and shoved me into one of the chairs."Dad let me go." I pleaded.He just sighed at me, "Mel...""Don't call me that." I hissed."Fine,

"I'll give you some time to think about it. You have about seven hours to decide what you really want, Melody and Charlie or your mafia. You can't have both.''Nick said. And then he hung up the phone.Mack let go of me and pushed me directly to Nick."Why'd you do that?" Nick asked."Do what?" I asked.He grabbed my arm and pushed me against the wall, "why'd you open your mouth before you were allowed to speak? I told you that you'd get your turn. And what the hell was that scream for!""I'm...I'm sorry. Both times I was ju...just surprised." I answered.He grabbed me again, slamming me into the wall."I don't like being lied to." Nick sneered."I...I swear I'm telling the truth." I quickly argued.I looked toward Mack, but he wasn't even facing me. I could tell he didn't want to see what was happening. I glanced back at Nick and when I looked into his eyes I saw hatred. This time he had emotion. But not the emotion I was hoping for."Nick...I'm sorry. I swear I didn't mean to do that

I kept running. I don't know how far behind they are from me. But I know if I look, I won't get the chance to get out again."Melody!" Nick yelled, "Come on, let's just go back to the house and we can have something to eat."I was hungry and tired. I hadn't eaten since I got taken by Nick. Or slept very well either. But I'm not going to give myself up to him for food or sleep. If I have to eat or sleep in the forest...so be it.If I do eat something, how am I going to remember what is poisonous or is safe to eat? This is why I should've listened to my teachers about this kinda stuff.I heard their footsteps getting closer and closer to me. I know there's no way out of this for me. They will find me and I will be traded off for whatever the mysterious guy wants from me."Mel, come on. You have no family left. You have no place to turn to. Everyone you love dies on you. And whose fault is that?" Nick paused.I waited for an answer but none came. At that moment I felt a hand being plac
