THE MAFIA'S DEADLY DEVOTION
The Mafia's Deadly Devotion- Episode 57&58
(..Stuck with the mafia boss..)
By; Cherry Love F.
"No!!!!!!. Emily don't die on me". Bryan cried. The car's speedometer quivered at 100km/hr and Emily's world slowed down. She closed her eyes waiting for the impact that never came.
Angelo's car screeched to a sudden halt as he slammed the brakes sharply, directly in front of Emily, even half a metre closer and she would be sent tumbling in the air.
Emily opened her eyes slowly when she saw that she never got hit. She has actually prepped a scenario of Angelo actually running her over and she stared back at Angelo's gray orbs that was locked on her, his expression unreadable as usual.
Rachel opened her eyes too and looked at Emily, then back at Angelo.
"Emily, are you okay?". Bryan rushed, touching her all over.
"You really scared me". He said but Emily wasn't even listening. She was locked in a silent eye contest with Angelo and for the first time, she refused to back down.
"Angelo, you f+cking psychopath, I swear I'll kill you myself". Bryan seethed and walked over to Angelo's car. He reached over the wound down glass and made to grab Angelo's shoulder.
"Make that mistake and I'll serve your corpse to any f+cking creature that cares to feed on you". Angelo said, not breaking eye contact with Emily. Bryan visibly shrunk and backed away.
That had Emily moving again and she looked away, unable to withstand the intensity of his stare.
"Out". Angelo told Rachel. Her eyes widened. He brought out a thousand dollar and handed it to her. Rachel scoffed silently and stepped out of the car, glaring at Emily.
"Five seconds". He told Emily and she gulped, sliding into the passenger seat and put on her seatbelt. Angelo sped off while Bryan stood there angrily.
"That damn bastard". He cursed and walked to his car. "Just you wait, I will have you Emily, to myself and no one will be able to lay an eye on you".
Just then, a black car parked right beside his and Bryan raised his brow. The person wound down his glass and he had a mask on.
"Who are you?".
"That doesn't matter now, you're going to help us". The man said.
"Us?". Bryan quirked.
"Don't ask questions. We have a common enemy and that's Angelo Gerald".
"What do i get in return?".
"You get what you want the most. Emily". The man smirked.
"Sounds good. Can I at least see your face?".
"No. We'll meet with you soon and you'll be informed of our plan". The man said and Bryan nodded slowly.
"How?".
"No questions, remember?". He scoffed. Bryan pursed his lips.
"Just keep making enemies for yourself Angelo Leonardo Gerald..La tua ora sarà ". The man smirked and zoomed off.
Bryan stared at the car which was now out of sight and shrugged, also leaving.
Finn woke up and looked around, it was very dark now and Benjamin was still sprawled hopelessly on the floor. He hissed and tapped his partner.
....
Emily glanced at Angelo for the umpteenth time, he hadn't even looked at her since the second she got in, he just stayed focused on the road or so she thought.
His mind wasn't on the road.
It was far back in his past, too far back for him to realize that he was driving until Emily screamed, they nearly ran into another speeding vehicle but the other driver manoeuvred, raining curse words on them.
Emily clutched onto Angelo's arm and that brought him back to reality coz he looked back at her but her eyes were squeezed shut. She opened them after a while and he was focused on the road now, she made to remove her hand that was still on his.
"Don't". Angelo said randomly.
"What?". Emily blinked.
".......".
"Oh".
Finally, he pulled over and Emily looked around, the full, bright moon was the only illumination that the area got and there was a clearer view of the sky from there.
"Wow". Emily murmured thoughtlessly and came down first, her eyes widening.
The place was a moon-drenched clearing, encircled by sentinel trees that seemed to hum with ancient feelings. Silver light from the moon dripped like honey through the leaves, everything shining in an ethereal radiance.
Dew-kissed branches shimmered, casting a kaleidoscope of shadows.
Emily gasped as she spun around, grinning like a child.
Angelo turned off the engine and stepped out of the car.
Emily looked at him.
"Where are we?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Angelo leaned against the car, his eyes fixed on the moon. His eyes gleamed, two stars in the darkness. Those grey orbs easily gleaming with the moonlight's reflection. He looked so breathtaking that Emily even forgot to breathe for thirty seconds.
"I don't know," he replied. "We shouldn't be here......You shouldn't be here". He mumbled to himself.
The silence was oppressive, Emily's mind racing.
Angelo's gaze snapped to hers.
"You shouldn't have come here," he said.
Emily's stubbornness resurfaced.
"I won't back down, it was all my fault."
Angelo's expression turned enigmatic.
"You should have just stayed away, it's better that way".
"No".
Angelo's head snapped towards Emily and he raised his brow. They hadn't moved from their initial positions since, so she was only a few metres away from him.
"No, you can't keep pushing me away every time, Angelo, it's not fair". Slowly, she came close till she was only a foot away. Retaining eye contact with him.
Something flashed in Angelo's eyes for a split second and the next, he was grabbing Emily by her throat so her back was now against the car.
"Don't act like you f+cking understand me". Angelo snapped, tightening his grip on her.
"You've always been so close to killing me and you've never done it, you keep pushing everyone away from you, you're scared of being attached to people coz you think they'll leave you but you actually care, I've seen it before, you care about Carlos and Alyssa and josh, bluey, Elena, Katherine, the queen mother and even Nora, you care about everyone around you and that's what made me love you, no matter how emotionless you act, that won't change". Emily said in one go.
"I'm not someone you should love, darling". Angelo rasped, his hand slipping from round her neck to her nape slowly.
"But i do already, I can't just switch my feelings off". Emily shook her head.
Standing on her tiptoes, she wrapped her hands around his neck and kissed him slowly.
It's the first time she's initiating a kiss and it's damn addicting.
Angelo's hands moved to her waist drawing her closer and deepened the kiss. He was in control now.
"No". Emily pulled away. "I'm in charge". She said and leaned in again, kissing him at her own pace.
When they finally stopped to catch their breaths, Emily was flushed and Angelo's relentless stare on her wasn't helping.
No doubt she had gotten a little bit of his controlling nature.
THE NEXT DAY, EMILY'S ROOM*
Emily got back home by 7am and her parents were mad furious.
"Where the hell where are you since yesterday?". Brad yelled. "The restaurant had called, said you were gone since morning and violet said you went to meet someone, naturally, we thought it was Bryan but no, he showed up here, said you'd left with Angelo, that demon in a human's body. Emily, what has gotten into you?!, Just what, ever since you returned from that devilish place, you've changed".
"We raised you better than this, Emily, not to whore around". Laura said with spite.
Ava sat quietly in the corner but she was also upset.
"I-i wasn't, i don't..."
"Were you with Bryan?". Brad asked.
"No...
"With that evil man?". He asked again.
"He's not evil, you don't know him to talk about him like that". Emily argued.
"Emily, he's a murderer, he kills without a care in the world who it affects. He killed Rosie, your aunt, she was so innocent, never hurt a soul..". Laura snapped.
"Aunt rosie betrayed his mother, left them both to die and i know she didn't deserve death.....but if we can't blame her, why blame Angelo when she's part of the people that made him like this". Emily snapped back.
"Emily!". Brad raised his hand to hit her and she flinched.
"You're now talking back to your parents?, Emily, can't you see?, He's making you to become a sinner just like him, you're not like this, you're my sweet angel". Laura teared up.
"That's it. Stay in your room, I never thought it'd be this way but you're getting engaged to Bryan in two days, after that, you'll get married and you will not leave this house or this room till you're married to Bryan, is that clear?, If i see you with Angelo, I'll kill him myself". Brad yelled.
Ava's eyes widened.
"No!, You can't force me to marry Bryan, i don't like him". Emily screamed.
"We're your parents. We have every right to do that". Laura scoffed.
"No, you can't do this to me, Mom please". Emily cried but they weren't listening. They all left the room, Ava left last.
"Ava, you too?". Emily muttered.
"I'm sorry em, you shouldn't have met Angelo". Ava mumbled and left.
Brad locked the door from outside.
Emily hit the door repeatedly but it wouldn't budge.
**Mafia headquarters*
"... you're dismissed". The queen mother said and walked out. Katherine and Hades were standing together on one side while blade and Kate stood on the other side.
"Let's go on a date today". Katherine said to Hades and he subconsciously glanced at Kate, she looked away just then and bit her lips nervously. Blade was talking to her about something that really interested him but she wasn't feeling it anymore.
"Yo, how about a double date?". Blade suddenly offered.
"Don't eavesdrop on our conversation you asshole". Katherine sneered.
"Beat me, bi+ch". Blade stuck out his tongue.
"Katy what's wrong with you?, you're always so talkative". Katherine asked.
"You're using the nickname that Hades gave to her, can't you form yours?". Blade scoffed.
"Kitty then?".
"No, I call her that". Blade sighed, then wrapped his arms around Kate's shoulder.
Hades roughed his hair and groaned silently.
"I don't really want to go on a date". Kate mumbled.
"No way, you've gotta come". Blade whined.
Kate glanced at Hades and he was already staring at her with a raised brow. She looked away and shook her head.
"I really don't".
And walked away.
"What's up with her?". Katherine scoffed, then shrugged, pocketing her phone.
"Come on baby". She smiled and Hades and interlocked their hands.
.....
The shooting range*
Angelo and Alyssa were training together, she was the one firing and he was dodging the bullet. Alyssa had gotten faster.
"Are you seeing someone?". She asked when she shot another bullet.
"No why?".
"Why else won't you date someone?, Rachel is single too and you know she likes you obviously". Alyssa scoffed.
"I'm not interested". Angelo deadpanned.
"At this rate, you'll remain single forever".
"Hm".
"Angelo, come on". She whined.
Alyssa's gun was taken from her and she blinked.
"What the hell?".
"You need to stay focused. I made you defenceless so easily". Angelo scoffed.
"Angelo I'm telling you something".
"I'm doing that too, am i not?". Angelo smiled.
"You should smile more, it suits you". Alyssa smiled too and he rolled his eyes.
"Gelo, think fast". Alyssa became serious now and began shooting two guns at once.
***
Bryan sat up in his bed and yawned sleepily, the bitch he had gotten for the night was still asleep and he scoffed loudly. He checked the time on his phone.
8am.
And there was a message too.
📳 Act normal. Plan's ongoing at the moment, just waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
Bryan smiled to himself.
"Just you wait and watch, Angelo, Emily's gonna be mine, no matter what and you won't have a say in it. Wait for me, baby girl, I'm coming to get you".
