She's Mine

Chapter 21 - Aaron

I had received an important phone call informing me how many shit I was with the second in command of the Mafia. I was in deep shit. I had never disappeared for so long before, they had a few suspicions that I had tried to flee. Once in the Mafia, the only way out was death. When I didn't show up for two weeks it raised a lot of suspicions. I had been moving up in the ranks recently as my loyalty and hard work have been paying off, but this sudden disappearance was concerning to many.

No matter what my first job is to protect and keep Alessandra safe. Mafias love their women. They love to have a woman on them at all times. They have women cling to them like trophies, although most men have wives that they truly loved. Women have become a big target. When other mafias are attacked, women are often heavily targeted as they leave the most emotional damage. I have to continue to keep Alessandra a secret from anyone, the second they learned of her talents she will be tracked.

I have to do everything in my power to keep her hidden. Well first off she is one of the most wanted thieves in the world right now, second, off she would literally kill me if she knew who I was working for and I did not help her join, and well finally she would not be able to handle it and I know that sounds rude or whatever but I know that for a fact...she is going through enough shit in her personal life to join such a dangerous organization.

...

I put my phone down on my night table as I take a shower. It wasn't very long as I find myself feeling pretty uneasy leaving Alessandra alone for a long period of time. Just the thought of some of the capos coming to check up on me while she is here causes panic.

Rushing through my shower, I quickly get out and change.

As I dried my hair with a towel, I hear it...

"AARONNN"

A piercing scream filled with fear, and panic.

Alessandra.

I run for my life down the stairs and come face to face with the worst possible scenarios.

The sight has me sick to my stomach. Dylan, Henry, and Carlo. My three best buddies, my biggest mentors, my biggest advocates, and my best friends... holding MY girl.

Alessandra looks pale on the face and frozen with fear. My heart shatters at the view.

My blood is boiling as I am fuming with rage.

I held my gun to Dylan's temple as he has the tightest grip on Alessandra

"Let her go now" I growl through my teeth trying to keep as much cool as I can.

"Yo chill, I was just gonna teach your whore a lesson on learning he.."

"don't ever fucking call her that" I shout losing all control punching him in the face and attacking the other two catching them all off guard. I grab Alessandra as gently as I can and pull her to me.

All three capos looked at me in utter shock as I attempt to calm Alessandra down. I pay no attention to them as I grasp her in my arms holding her as tight as I can to provide her with a safe place. She is shaking and I have to physically hold her up to stop her from collapsing. I whisper in her ear trying my best to reassure her.

"it's okay"

"it's okay."

"I promise your safe."

"They are not going to hurt you I promise"

"Breathe please."

"I've got you."

"I'm so sorry darling"
