THE MAFIA'S DEADLY DEVOTION
The Mafia's Deadly Devotion- Episode 35&36
(..Stuck with the mafia boss..)
By; Cherry Love F.
"Stop me then". Angelo said and walked out.
"This child". The queen mother shook her head.
Everyone in Angelo's way literally dived to the other direction as soon as they saw him.
The queen mother ordered blade and hades to go with him.

As soon as Callum finished eating and let go of Emily to wash his hands, she used the opportunity to bolt out of the dining room, ignoring callum's calls. She ran to her room and shut the door and started crying.
"Where are you, Angelo?". She mumbled, wishing he would just come and take callum away from there but that wasn't even possible. There's no way he would side with her instead of his brother. The thought made her cry even more.
Someone knocked on the door and Emily's heartbeat shot up again, what if it was Callum?. She stayed silent until the person spoke again.
"Emz?, Are you in there?". Bluey asked.
"Y-yes". Emily breathed out and bluey came in.
"Oh my God Emily". Bluey rushed, going to hug Emily. "It's okay, I'm here". She whispered, stroking Emily's hair.
"Wait here, I'll go get you water". Bluey said and waited for Emily to respond before she left.

Angelo drove at full speed, hades was beside him in the passenger seat while blade was at the back. Hades clutched his chest, it was racing badly.
"Angelo, please, are you trying to get us killed?, We're not gonna attack the French with our corpses......F+ck!". Blade abruptly cursed when Angelo drifted, avoiding a truck that nearly rammed into them.
"I just confessed my feelings for Katherine, I'll never know if she loves me back if you kill us here". Hades joined in but Angelo wasn't even listening. Two things were on his mind. One was to get revenge on the french and the other was the wait for Josh's response. The soon reached the french quarters. A journey of 4-5 hours was undergone in an hour.
Angelo slammed the brakes and hades literally jumped out of the car and held the bonnet to steady himself.
"Do we have a plan?". Blade asked, composing himself.
"No".
"What the f+ck?". Hades cursed but Angelo was already at the gate. He and blade shared a look and followed Angelo.
He had already shot the security guards on duty with his silencer gun. He removed the tranquilizer and began shooting the people inside.
Skye looked at Nora hatefully, her head was bent and there were several droplets of tears on the floor. She looked up when she heard his footsteps coming closer and he gripped her chin tightly.
He remembered how he found out about their mission.
Flashback
Skye asked thunder to find out about Alyssa's background, he was genuinely interested in her, everything about her interested him, she was like a mystery he couldn't wait to unravel even though he acted like he wasn't interested in her at all.
Thunder had followed Alyssa and her friends in disguise as a passerby, they were talking about something important. Curiously, he brought out a recorder, put on his sunshades and walked past them, dropping the recorder beside them.
After they left, he came back and took the recording back to skye. Skye clenched his fists and destroyed the recording after listening to it.
"What are you going to do now?".
Thunder asked.
"Target the weakest. Alyssa is too cunning to be deceived easily". He smirked.
Present*
"Why are you doing this?". Nora choked out.
"To blackmail the Italian mafia and you're gonna be used as a collateral, their clan in exchange for your life". Skye shrugged with a wicked grin.
"It's useless. You might as well kill me now, they will never accept me back even if i escape and you want them to look for me?, They won't. By now, I'm already declared as a rogue and any one who sees me is free to kill me or bring me to my mother and she'll kill me herself". Nora cried and Skye clenched his fists.
"You're just as useless as Marcus was". He sneered, then suddenly he heard gunshots from outside. He looked at nora one last time and turned to the man in charge of watching her.
"Keep an eye on her. Make sure she doesn't even move a muscle". He instructed and took his gun.

Outside, the struggle was fierce, hades and blade stood on either sides of angelo, with fifty men attacking them, they split, each diving in different directions. Hades shot at a man but he missed the bullet, the man growled and grabbed his hand, hades shot him again, this time in his chest before turning back in time to see a man aiming at him, he dodged that too.
Blade on the other hand was a bit outnumbered and didn't notice Skye aiming at him from a distance but Angelo did, two bullets were shot from Skye and Angelo. Angelo's bullet hit Skye's dramatically, and blade nearly cheered, seeing that for the first time.
Angelo threw a gun to Blade, who caught it mid-air and continued fighting. Angelo then turned his attention to Skye, who ticked his jaw and made to fire again. Due to his distraction, he didn't notice Hades sneaking up from behind him and grabbed his gun. Skye froze momentarily.
"Game's over for you kiddo". He smirked, skye kicked him in the groin and began to run.
Skye ran as fast as he could, but Angelo chased him. Just as he was about to catch up, Skye ducked into the room where he kept Nora, slamming the door shut behind him. Angelo kicked the door open, gun drawn.
Inside, he found Skye holding Nora hostage. "Let her go," Angelo demanded, his gun trained on Skye.
Skye sneered. "You'll never take her alive," he spat, and pulled the trigger on Angelo.
But Angelo was too quick. He dodged the bullet and fired his own gun, hitting Skye in the tummy, Skye cried out in pain, releasing Nora. He lay on the floor in his own pool of blood.
Angelo rushed to Nora's side, helping her to her feet. "Are you okay?" he asked, his face stoic. She knew he didn't care or maybe he did?, But be definitely wouldn't show it.
Nora nodded, still shaken. "Y-yes, thank you," she stuttered.
Just then, Blade and Hades burst into the room. "Angelo, we need to get out of here, now," Blade urged, ignoring Nora's presence.
Nora looked at skye with teary eyes, weirdly enough, she still loved him. As they moved, heaps of dead bodies were littered on the floor.
A cyber cafe
A man knelt down, his head facing the ground as he was whipped ruthlessly.
"Out of all the information you gave us, do you know what this little detail cost us?". A masked man yelled.
"Forgive me master, i was careless". The man apologized.
"Alyssa Gerald. Sister of Angelo Gerald and he cares about her. Older or younger?".
"They are twins master".
"Even better". The masked man smiled.
"She's been trained too. Master assassin". The man who knelt down said and the other frowned.
"Get up". He ordered and the man stood.
"Thank you master...... can I say something master?".
"What is it?".
"I think we judged hastily. Angelo cares about the girl".
The masked man chuckled, the chuckle deepening into an unending resonating laughter.
Back at the mansion (a few minutes after the first scene)
The door opened again and closed, Emily looked up, expecting to see bluey but she saw Callum instead. Shock was an understatement, she began stepping backwards until she hit the wall but callum kept coming closer until he had her pinned between the door and himself.
"Stay away from me". Emily yelled and Callum held her face, shifting his fingers to her hair, he gave it a tug and Emily hissed, kicking him but he wasn't affected.
"Let me go". She yelled again when Callum brought his face closer to hers. "Please".
"Oh darling, you should be blaming yourself for having such a pretty face". Callum drawled, grabbing her waist. Emily began kicking with everything in her but Callum seemed to be a rock and wouldn't budge.
"You're mine now". He said and Emily's eyes widened, she began wiggling, trying to wry her way out.
"I don't belong to.....
Callum's lips came crashing down on hers in a very rough kiss, his hands cupping her bre+sts. Emily pushed him desperately but callum bit her lips, Emily tasted her own blood in her mouth. Callum smiled and pulled away, licking his lips looking at Emily lustfully.
Something in Emily snapped and she looked at Callum hatefully. She raised her hand to slap him but he caught it mid air and twisted her arm painfully. Emily yelped.
"I'll take that as a mistake, baby. Don't ever repeat that". Callum turned serious, twisting her arm again. "Apologize". He ordered and Emily bit her lips.
He pulled the arm more.
"I'm sorry!". Emily screamed and he left her, stepping back.
"Oh and.....". He whispered something in her ear before leaving. Emily backed away to the floor, curling herself into a ball and wishing the earth would just swallow her. Almost a minute later, Josh came in.
"Are you okay?". He asked and she nodded not looking up.
"Okay". He left.
*
Zade removed his fingers from bluey's pants and looked at her with a smile before kissing her again, she was looking so red and flustered and pushed him lightly.
"I need to give Emily water". She chuckled when he came close again.
"I love you". He whispered.
"I love you too". Bluey smiled widely.
"Now let's get you cleaned up". Zade smirked and carried her up, leading her to the counter.
Later that night, Angelo and Carlos came back together. Alyssa would come the next day. Nora was handed to the queen mother and her trial is tomorrow, everyone is expected to be there.
Josh came up to them and bowed.
"She's asleep, Angelo. Since 5: 30, i think she's tired". He said.
Angelo nodded.
"Welcome back carlos".
"Thanks man". Carlos and Josh shook hands before going inside. Angelo headed to Emily's room, he opened the door and looked at her. She was faced the opposite way. The duvet pulled over her head, despite the hot weather.
Angelo furrowed his brows and went in, he tugged on the duvet but Emily was gripping it too tightly. He pulled it again, this time, using a bit of force and peeled it away from her, she was sweating profusely.
"N-no, stay away from me!". She screamed, her breath quickening, she tried to shove Angelo, then he held her hand.
"Relax.....
"Don't touch me". She screamed again, her eyes weren't opening. "I'm suffocating". She began to mumble. "Where are you... Angelo?".
Angelo's heart skipped a bit and he looked away from her to his hand that she was gripping tightly.
"You're all right, love". Angelo mumbled, removing strands of hair from her face. It took a while before Emily calmed down again and went to sleep.
THE NEXT MORNING
Anna woke Emily up, reminding her to go and do her chores. Emily just stood up wordlessly and did her morning routine. Bluey came in with a smile.
"Good morning".
"Good morning". Emily mumbled.
"I'm totally sorry for not coming back on time yesterday, when i did, you were already asleep". Bluey said.
"It's alright".
"Did something happen?". Bluey asked, noticing her gloominess.
"No..
"You're lying to me". Bluey noticed.
"Emily!!!". Anna yelled from outside.
"I'm coming".
"I'm sorry if you're mad at me emz but please don't be like this, tell me what's wrong. Did i do something?".
"It wasn't your fault". Emily mumbled. "I have to go".
Bluey held her back and hugged her. "I'm sorry sis".
"I'll tell you later". Emily blinked back tears and bluey nodded.
"I'll be in the kitchen, do you want anything?".
"No".
"Emily!".
"She's coming Anna!!". Bluey snapped.
"Did you just yell at me?". Anna screamed.
"Oh God". Bluey mumbled and ran out of the room. Emily watched her go, then a stray tear slipped from her eye.
She remembered Callum's words from yesterday.
'I'll keep coming back and if a word of this goes to Angelo, you can't even imagine what I'll do. If you think Angelo is scary, then I'm way worse, even Angelo is scared of me. There's no one to save you, i have two advantages over you, you'll not like the second one so keep being a good girl for me alright?'.
Emily pursed her lips and headed towards Angelo's room, taking the vacuum cleaner along. She knocked and waited for a response before going in. Her gaze first landed on Angelo, he was dressed in a white shirt and jeans, his silver necklace blended with his shirt and his hair was still messy. He looked at her when she entered.
"Good morning master Angelo". She greeted and started her work even when he didn't respond. There was silence in the room, Angelo was now talking to someone on the phone.
Her subconscious was pricking her, telling her to tell Angelo what happened but her brain was gnawing at her not to tell him or she'll be in even more trouble when he can't protect her. And her subconscious was winning.
"Master Angelo....
He looked at her immediately, silently ordering her to speak.
"Yesterday....
"Angelo!". Callum entered the room abruptly and Emily gulped, instantly lowering her gaze.
"When did you arrive?". Callum asked, then turned to Emily. "What are you doing here?, I need to speak to my brother alone". He emphasized, looking at her daringly.
Emily turned to go.
"Stop". Angelo ordered and she looked at him.
"What were you saying?". He asked. Emily bit her lips, somehow they stood in a triangle, her in the middle of the two brothers and they were both looking at her.
Emily's subconscious mind and brain seemed to be working against each other as her eyes darted between the two. Callum was silently daring her to speak and Angelo was....well....still with his emotionless eyes.
Emily took a deep breath, finally making her mind to speak. She looked at Angelo boldly, not minding callum's intense stare on her. And she said........
