Act like my wife

Felicia

"Since you have decided to be weak, I have now chosen Gio as my heir"

Those bastards, how dare they take my son?!

Just then, we heard footsteps outside Gio's room. Five of my father's henchmen appeared from the hallway, each one with a gun in his hand.

One of the men, Carlos stood in front of me. "We have been ordered by Don Lorenzo to remove you from the premises"

"Tell him that I'm not going anywhere without my son".

They all pointed their guns at me. "We have been ordered to shoot you if you resist," Carlos stated without any emotion.

"How dare you-!" I paused when I felt someone touch my arm. I looked down and saw Felicia's hand in mine.

She brought her lips closer to my ear and whispered. "Calm down, you're no good to Gio if you're dead". Then she faced the men. "Just give us a moment to get his things."

"His things are at the door waiting for him," Carlos responded.

Felicia practically dragged me to the door, but I wasn't ready to leave without Gio. I don't care what happens to me but I am not giving up without a fight.

When we reached the living room, I refused to leave. "Where is that coward that calls himself my father?! Come out, Lorenzo, give me my son! I am giving you a chance to do right by me, give Gio to me."

He appeared at the top of the staircase. "Patrizio, your death would mean nothing to your mother and me at this point. I suggest you listen to Felicia and get out Or you will have yourself to blame. Carlos will shoot you if you stay here any more than one minute."

"Come". Felicia pleaded.

Feeling defeated, I walked out into the night with her by my side.

"Why did you come along? You should go home to your family". I carried my bag and headed for my car.

"Come on, Don, let me drive you to my home."

"No! You can go". I walked past her car.

"Ugrh! You men are so stubborn! Come with me. I don't live with my parents and my house is comfortable... you can stay as long as you want."

"I said leave me alone!! I can find my way." I dipped my hand inside my pocket and brought out my car keys. Thank God I kept it on me. I got into my car and turned on the ignition.

The door of the passenger seat opened and Felicia got in. "Then I'll come with you". What's wrong with this girl?!

"Whatever". I focused on the steering wheel and the road ahead as I drove us into the night.

Gio is still a child, he is not of age to be initiated. I have plenty of time to get him out of my parents' clutches before they fill his head with their lies.

I drove up to a 5-star hotel and parked in front of the tall building. I handed the valet my car keys and headed inside with Felicia hot on my trails.

"Why are we in a hotel?" She asked, trying to catch her breath.

"Because I own this hotel."

"Bonjorno, Senor Moretti." The hotel manager approached me. "Your suite is ever ready for you." His eyes darted to Felicia. "Uh, would you like to stay in with the lady?"

"No. Get her a different suite". I grabbed the key card and headed for my floor without sparing Felicia a second look.

I entered my suite and locked the door.
