I thought i felt someone shake me... So i slowly opened my eyes..... A groan escaped my lips as i felt the migraine hit me hard
"argh f**k"
"great you are finally awake" .... Someone said beside me... I turned around to be faced with Antonio....
"Antonio" i said confused
"yeah mom it me"
"am here too" someone said behind him, i looked behind him and got the shock of my life....
"Stefano" i said in shock
"what ar-are you b-both doing here, last time i checked you were on your way to Russia and you were stocked at work" I said pointing from one to the other
"uhmmmmm" I thought about it for a while.... Maybe they took Stefano just to get to his boss, and perhaps they got confused so they kidnapped Antonio aswell
"William... Wi-william works for the mafia" I said with a broken heart
"They took me to get to him.... I-i just don't understand anything any more" i said shaking my head.... But something felt off.... They didn't seem surprised, they just kept staring at me
"you knew" i asked.... Antonio kept staring at me, while Stefano avoided any eye  contact with me
"you both knew all this time didn't you" i asked with anger
"don't just fu**ing stare at me.... Start talking"

"let just tell her Stef" Antonio said to Stefano... Stefano shaked his head in disagreement, he got up and started pacing round the cell we are in... Grabbing a fist full of his hair
"we work for the mafia too mom" i believe i heard wrong.... Did someone say something
"what did you say" i asked Antonio
"we work for the Russian mafia.... We work for William.... Why do you think I disapproved of your relationship.... I didn't want you to get hurt"
"WHAT?" I asked in disbelief
"We where on a mission when i got ambushed.... They staged it, and somehow got Stefano to come get me, then held him captive" That explains it.... No wonder William knew he was traveling... And on our way here... Will acted strange... Maybe he got the news about their kidnap.... It makes sense now....but somehow it all didnt make sense to me, why did they do that to me..... I gave them everything.... I gave my all..... Why did they need the mafia.... I kept them safe, i optioned taking my own life to guarantee them safety, so why did they do this to me.... Why did they....
Like father like son's.... What do you think
My subconscious said.... You know am starting to think she's the smart one not me....

I couldn't say anything to them... If i think about it, am in this cell because of them.... William, Stefano, Antonio.... The Russian mafia.... They brought me into this mess again.... They had know idea what i endured back then.... I no we being held by the Italian mafia, but i heard a rumor back then in Australia that an underground king in Italy had been murdered.... I know Damon run the Italian mafia, i did a little enquiry here and there and it was true.... So that means it a new leader, he won't know who i am... Besides i look totally different from the Arabella of before... How did i even get here in the first place i took a deep breath.... If my heart was broken now it shattered in thousand pieces....

"why" i asked to know one in particular
"i was a great mom.... I did my all.... I-I gave m-my all.... Where did i go wrong.... How did t-this" i couldnt complete the statement, my heart hurts.... My head hurts every where hurts especially my heart... I did the only thing that came to my mind.... I cried my pain out
"we are sorry.... We got into trouble and needed protection.... S-so when William gave us the offer with the benefits involved, we just couldn't refuse" Stefano said in a hurtful tone
"so endangering your life was worth it.... Even putting your mother at risk" i asked in a stern voice..... It was obvious i was broken, they broke me
"I work my ass out, as a maid,a nanny, i pack poop, cut lawns and finally got the opportunity to open my own beauty shop just to get This? " i yelled letting the frustration get to me
"I work my ass out to feed you both, make sure you get all the necessary requirements in school, i even put you through the university..... What did i do wrong.... Because i couldn't give you both a perfect family huh.... How could you do this to me...." i asked crying profusely, i couldn't take it, my throat was burning.... My heart was been squeezed by my ribcage....
" mom"antonio tried to touch and console me, i flinched back
"Don't touch me"
