Mafia of Mine [Under Editing]

Chapter 22: Sir Nic the Cunt

Luca

"She's waking up Luca" Lila knocked me out of my revelry. I was thinking about all the things her uncle told me. It was surprising to know how much Mafia skill Dani has, she could single handedly take us down just by the snap of her fingers. No wonder Niccolo considered her the number one weapon, had it not been because of her compassion he would've never let her go. Thank the heavens Dani wasn't as cruel as him. I stood up from the chair I sat on towards Dani who furrowed her brows as she gently opened her eyes. She scanned her surroundings before they landed on me, She sent me slight glare before realizing something and looking at Lila and back at me

<<Luca>>

"Luca can you get me some water  babe? I'm parched" she spoke gently. A small smile emerged from her lips. She was acting strange, the Dani I came to know would wake up complaining and grumbling curse words rather than being kind. I arched my eyebrow and answered with an uncertain "sure?"  But she remained to answer with a smile.

I left the room carefully closing the door slightly leaving a fraction of it open and pretending to take steps. After an agonizing minute she spoke...but it wasn't her natural tone. It sent shivers of danger around the vicinity

"Now back to business, care to tell me why you've betrayed me Lillian?" She spoke harshly. I couldn't see what was actually happening but I wasn't going to interrupt them either. I knew something was different. A maid was passing by and I quickly asked her for a glass of water fearing that Dani might notice I was taking so long. I don't plan on letting her know I'm aware she has regained her memory in fact I'll go along with this little plan of hers.

"It was for your own good Dani, Niccolo was using you!" Lila spoke harshly, I knew the words Dani told her hurt her.

"He isn't. You know Niccolo is bad at shooting. He must've been aiming at someone else, he would never hurt me" she spoke almost unsure but ended off strong. I thought she'd be better than this. Niccolo Valiente is cruel and heartless I doubt that he was aiming at anyone else

"That's bullshit and you know that Dani. He was aiming for your fucking neck, he missed and shot you in the fucking head! Get your mind out of the gutter. There's a man out there that loves you and you treat him like shit" Lila scolded. I jumped in shock when someone tapped my shoulder, only to realize it was merely the maid bringing me the water. I nodded in reply as I continued to tune in

"He's a Clemente" Dani said through gritted teeth as if she was containing in her anger. What if I am a Clemente? What's so bad about that?

"You're wrong Dani, I'm done with this conversation" Lila replied

"As am I....you can get in now you ass bastard" she spoke nonchalantly. I nearly choked on spit. How the fuck did she know I was here? "No one leaves the door a fraction of an inch...besides the shadow made it pretty obvious" she continued as I opened the door holding the glass of water as I entered. Lila rolled her eyes at me. I directed my gaze to the reborn Dani Shaw
