THE MAFIA'S DEADLY DEVOTION
The Mafia's Deadly Devotion- Episode 17&18
(..Stuck with the mafia boss..)
By; Cherry Love F.
In the midst of the commotion, Emily felt a hand on her arm. It was Alyssa, who leaned in close. "Stay close to me, Emily. This is about to get ugly."
Emily gulped, not tearing her eyes away from the scene. The queen mother walked up to Marcus, her eyes red with anger. Angelo was talking to Carlos about something that seemed important, judging from the way Carlos was gesticulating.
"I took you in as a teenager, i raised you when you had nothing, you along with everyone else here swore your loyalty to this clan". The queen mother raged, swirling the gun in her hand. Marcus gulped, dropping his gaze to the floor as he was made to kneel.
"Was it worth it?". She asked but Marcus remained silent.
"I'm asking you a damn question". The queen mother yelled.
"Yes. I needed the money". Marcus confessed, looking up to meet the queen mother's gaze.
"You bastard!, I curse the day i took you in". She raged, pulling the trigger and shooting his arm. Marcus clenched his teeth tightly to curb the pain.
The queen mother placed her finger on the trigger again but Carlos stepped in.
"Pardon me queen mother". He knelt down.
"What is it?". The queen mother gritted her teeth.
Carlos stood up and whispered.
"Emily. I don't think she'll be able to handle the scene".
"I don't care. He's gonna die now". She yelled.
"Queen mother please". Alyssa called out from across. She was quick to grasp the situation and the queen mother looked at her. "I'll go for the mission". Alyssa bargained, glancing shortly at Angelo.
"Away with him". The queen mother ordered Hades, finally conceding and he smirked, walking to him with a sinister smile. The queen mother went inside the inner room glaring at Angelo.
"Nooo, let me go you son of a bitch". Marcus yelled as he was dragged out. He was pulled roughly by Hades, his skin being bruised from bumping into walls he tried to grasp.
"We'll be sure to give you a befitting funeral". Kate chirped. Emily was on the verge of fainting now, Marcus' body was bloody, all this because he was disloyal and betrayed them?, And he was one of them, yet that didn't bother them, what would happen to her if she remained there?
"Or not..... You can tell the French to bury you instead". Katherine sneered coldly.
"But he wouldn't be able to do that". Alyssa laughed.
"I can't miss the fun". Elena muttered.
"Me too". Katherine and Kate said.
"I'm coming too". Nora smiled, picking up a gun from under the sofa and they all left together.
'I'll have to leave this place somehow no matter what'. Emily thought.
"Are you all right?". Alyssa asked and Emily nodded.
Angelo was beside them in an instant, his gaze shifting from Alyssa to Emily. "Let's go".
He didn't wait for either of them as he soon started walking outside and to his car, his expression even colder than before, Alyssa nodded to Emily, waving at her before going over to Carlos. Emily looked at Angelo standing beside his car, his frame blending with the darkness as he snapped his fingers, his face was emotionless, his eyes even colder than before as he stared fixedly at Emily.
Emily gulped, walking up to him with wobbly feet but an image in the dark caught her attention, she swiftly turned, briefly seeing it with the aid of the reflecting lights.
There lay Marcus's lifeless body on the floor, his neck was slain but still on his body. He had been shot severally too.
The last thing that Emily remembered was a loud scream escaping her lips before she blacked out into oblivion.
THE NEXT MORNING
Alyssa and Angelo were in the middle of an argument in the study, Carlos was a few metres away from them already tired of their nonstop bickering.
"Gelo, why are you being so overprotective?, It's not even the Russians that we're going for". Alyssa argued.
"Why are you explaining?". Came Angelo's answer.
"You're mad at me".
"I'm not. You're free to do whatever you want". Angelo uttered.
"For once gelo stop it, stop acting so cold. It's not wrong to care, it's not wrong to admit that you're worried". Alyssa snapped, tears threatening to fall from her eyes.
Angelo sighed, straightening up and holding her shoulders softly. "I am worried about you Lyssa and that's why I told you not to agree to it".
"But I do want to go, besides I'm not alone, Carlos is with me, Kathy and lena too". She urged. Angelo nodded, walking over to Carlos.
"I'll protect her with my life". Carlos swore.
"See?". Alyssa chirped from the side.
"Whatever". Angelo mumbled, leaving the study.
"Yes!!!". Alyssa grinned at her victory, hugging Carlos tightly.

Emily woke up with a start, her heart pulsing rapidly, Marcus' dead body still hadn't left her thoughts and she was even having nightmares because of it. She coiled up on the bed, not bothering to wonder how she got there in the first place.
She vividly remembered blacking out but what she didn't remember was never hitting the ground, instead Angelo was swift to catch her before she fell.
Emily sobbed, thinking about her family again. "Mom Dad, i don't wanna stay here, they're all murderers".
"There you are!!". Bluey smiled, carrying a tray filled with food.
"Hi". Emily sat up, drying her eyes.
"You were out for a long time". Bluey muttered.
"What time is it?".
"4pm".
Emily's eyes widened. "W-what?, I slept for almost a day?".
"It's fine though, you needed it". Bluey soothed, now stroking her hair. "Why are you crying?".
Emily ended up telling bluey everything that happened last night, she told bluey everything except one. Her plan.
"Aw, come here". Bluey cooed, pulling her into a hug.

Angelo looked through his front mirror, that particular car had been following him since he left his office building, he was in a good mood and decided to catch a little fun with whoever was following him, deliberately slowing down his pace, he let the person corner him.
Angelo came out of the car after the other person did and he had a gun. He had the Russian mafia crest on his shirt.
"You shouldn't have done that, you are waging a war against the Russians and they won't just sit back and watch. The russians will ruin you". The man thundered.
"Is that all?". Angelo asked.
"No...". The man smirked, pulling out his gun and firing at Angelo who skillfully dodged the bullet and shot the man with his own gun, the assassin dodged as well, pulling out a picture from his pocket and showing it to Angelo who was about to shoot at him again. It was a picture of his mother the night before she was murdered.
Angelo froze but his stance gave nothing away as expected of him, the man smirked devilishly and shot Angelo again but he was too stunned to dodge and the bullet went straight to his left arm.
"Guess you do have a weakness. We know who killed her, your captive wasn't the one who orchestrated the murder plan, he was only a puppet". The assassin said with a knowing look and sped off, leaving Angelo to fight the emotions that threatened to force their way out.
*11pm
Emily peaked outside her room, no guards were there so she stealthily tiptoed to the living room, Angelo didn't come back that night and it was good news for her.
"Hey stop right there". A guard ordered and Emily froze.
"I only need chill air. There are no windows in my room". Emily lied quickly, making a short prayer in her heart for lying.
The guard nodded skeptically. "Be back in five minutes".
Emily smiled and continued going, her plan was almost being successful until she saw another group of security men, she changed course, following the longer way out. Then she saw the main gate, Emily almost teared up at the thought of her freedom. Nothing else could possibly go wrong, she thought and carefully opened the gates making sure to remain silent.
This is it, she's finally free!!!!!.
Emily laughed, the sound of her voice resonating quietly in the silent night as she ran, however, her joy was short lived as a strong hand gripped her firmly, halting her movements. Emily shook as the owner of the hand pulled her forcefully to himself and Emily's senses shut down when she inhaled Angelo's peppermint scent, she stood there, her back pressed firmly against chest and his hand hooking hers to her chest.
"What were you planning on doing love?". Angelo's voice came out husky as he leaned down to whisper in her ear.
Emily froze, her spirit literally leaving her at that moment as she stared into Angelo's cold orbs.
"N-no-nothing". She stuttered.
"I have a lot of rules and lying to me is against them so better say the truth. You planned to run away, didn't you?". Angelo asked, spinning her so she could face him properly.
Emily bent her head, almost crying and she bit her lip tightly.
"Look at me". Angelo ordered, guiding her chin up with his forefinger. His gaze dropped to her lips that were red now from the biting.
"You haven't been punished since you came here". He muttered. "A little lesson will teach you".
Emily's eyes widened and she began trembling. "A-are you g-going to kill me?".
"Hm". Angelo looked as if he was weighing that option before he spoke. "Not yet, not if I don't have to". The iciness in his tone sending shivers down Emily's spine.
He was seriously considering finishing her off?
She looked down and up at him again and she could swear she saw his eyes darken and without warning, he leaned in, Angelo's lips crashing violently into Emily's, sweeping away her senses as he dominated her lips, giving her no room to breathe.
The kiss was as rough as it was intense, Emily stood frozen before Angelo pulled away.
Emily stared at him shocked, her fingers instantly went to her lips touching them.
Angelo had just kissed her? And she kissed him back?
Emily just kissed a murderer, her aunt's murderer and she would be damned if she said she didn't enjoy it. Her senses finally clicked as she zeroed in on him again and without thinking, she stepped back, putting enough distance between them.
"I hate you!!!".
