THE MAFIA’S CAPTIVE ANGEL

The atmosphere of my room when I woke up was gloomy, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I was hunted by the memories of what happened a few days ago.

I wore one of my black gowns with my black heel and packed my hair in a high bun to get the hair out of my face. I didn’t use the mascara and eyeliner because I knew I was going to be doing a lot of crying today, so I just applied a little lip gloss, grabbed my purse that contained my phone, and walked out of my room.

Sin was talking on his phone when I got to him, oblivious to my presence. His outfit matched mine, as he was dressed in a black suit and trousers, a black shirt, and a black tie, paired with a pair of black shoes that looked like they were just seeing the light of day for the first time ever.

He was talking furiously, and from what I heard, it had to do with what happened at the mansion, but as soon as he turned and saw me, he smiled, and my heart melted at the sight of it.

“Make sure the securities are heightened. Do the necessary rounds. We leave by six.” He said it in a dangerous voice, which only made him look hotter.

“Amore,” he said as he walked up to me to place a kiss on my forehead.

Is everything okay? I asked as I looked up at him.

“Just settling something.” He said. “Did you pack everything you need?” I nod in response, and he smiles.

He grabbed a hold of my hand, and we made our way out of the warehouse and towards the car, where one of his men stood, holding the door open for us, and I thanked him with a smile.

As we neared the church, my mood suddenly became gloomy again, and I guess Sin noticed because he was quick to put his arms around me, and I settled into his embrace.

We got to the church just as the service was about to start, and after exchanging pleasantries with Luca, Zoey, Samantha, and Uncle Carson, we settled down.

It was a small service, with few people, since we didn’t want to draw the attention of the public. We just wanted to do something for the men who had lost their lives, so it was just me, Sin, his few trusted men, and Uncle Carson.

The burial service was over, and the dead were laid to rest. The people around us said their final goodbyes and were already leaving.

“Mani, dear, how are you?” Uncle Carson asked me with a smile, and I was quick to return it.

Sin pecked the side of my head before walking away, giving us privacy to talk.

“I’m sure I will be okay in a few days, but I’m still a bit shaken up,” I answered, running my fingers through my hair.

“It is understandable, and that is why I don’t want this life for you, but if despite what happened you still want to be with him, then you need to be strong because Sin has a lot of enemies who won’t think twice to hurt you if it means getting to him,” he said softly, the sadness eminent in his eyes.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“It is terrifying knowing that, and I can’t help but feel that what happened was because of me. They were targeting me, and those who died were causalities and wouldn’t have died if they had gotten me.” I cried, thinking about Victoria.

“That is absolutely bullshit, Mani.” Uncle snapped. “This isn’t your fault; you had absolutely nothing to do with this, so don’t even think of going on a guilt trip.” he says, pulling me into his embrace. “What happened was unfortunate but inevitable. Not with the line of work, and right now, I might sound selfish, but I’m just grateful it’s not you and your deeply buried ground. God knows, I won’t be able to face your parents when we do meet in the afterlife.”

“Uncle Cars…” I choked on my sob.

“It’s okay, let it out.” Those were the only words he had to say for the tears to start pouring out of my eyes. I held onto him tightly as I sobbed my heart out.

I wasn’t sure how long we stood for, but I pulled away when I finally managed to stop myself from crying.

“I heard you are leaving for Italy.” He asked, wiping the tears from my face, and I nodded in response, not trusting my voice. “Do take care of yourself, and make sure to text or call me to let me know you are doing okay.”

“I will,” I replied, hugging him again.

Those incompetent fools had failed. In taking

her out, she has once again escaped death, but not for long. Sin might think taking her to Italy will keep her safe, but he’s about to realize what a big mistake that was.

At least I finally got rid of the other bitch; I was getting fucking tired of her whining.

She had thought she would get the chance to

betray me first, not even realizing what was about to happen to her. She has been so easy to use without realizing I was partially to blame for her brother’s death.

After all, I was the one who instigated his altercation with Sin’s little whore.

A dark laugh filled the room.
