Little Mrs.Mafia

Chapter 14

Amara De Luca

I was very annoyed at the fact that I was being kept in the dark. Like he was nice to me an hour back and he's back to being a grumpy cat. I was genuinely curious as to who that woman was.

I was lazing about in my room, wondering what would become of me now.

I don't have any relatives that'll take me in, even though Alex takes good care of me I can't continue to depend on him. I must find a job to help support myself and pay the bills.

I have to move back into my house, I didn't have to pay rent but keeping up with the bills would be hard enough. I googled for places that would hire high school students and the cliche stuff showed up, Starbucks, KFC and such and I had to go back to school since my tuition fees were already paid for.

My mind was a mess the whole time and I wasn't prepared for this then again who is?

I skipped dinner and fell asleep.

~~

I woke up and groggily rubbed my eyes as I made my way to the bathroom. I jumped in the shower finished up my morning routine and started packing my stuff.

Took my backpack and headed downstairs. I saw Lucas and waved to him, he gave me a wide grin and came up to me.

" Morning," he said while stuffing his mouth with a doughnut.

"Morning" I smiled back "could you help me with my bags?" I asked him.

"Sure", he replied and we went back up and grabbed a bag each.

"Where are you going ?" he asked.

"Back home" I replied.

"Aww, I'm going to miss you" he pouted.

I chuckled, "we'll hang out sometime"

"Sure, Do you have a ride?" he asked me.

"I was thinking of catching a cab" actually I hadn't thought of that part yet.

"I'll drop you, wait here I'll go get my car," he said dropping the bags near the couch and ran outside.

I rummaged through the kitchen and found a bagel, I slathered cream cheese on it and plopped on the sofa.

I was busy munching away to realize somebody was standing behind me,

"What are the bags for?" a deep voice sounded from behind.

I squeaked and spun around,

"I'm going home", I said looking into his eyes.

He opened his mouth to say something, I shused him making him raise a brow.

I stood in front of him, took his hands in mine looked him in the eyes, "Thank you, for everything but I can't stay here forever. I have to face the world at some point and I can't keep postponing it. I'll see you around." I gave him a sad smile and turned around.

Pheww

That was the most adult-ish thing I've ever done. I'm good at this I was suddenly jerked back

"So you think you can just leave?", he said trying to hold in a smile.

"I am," I said trying to free his hold.

"Too bad you can't" he tsked and started dragging me back to the couch.

"Hey, let me go" I slapped his arm.

"Look here Amara, you are not leaving. I understand you're confused right now and I can't explain everything just now so give it some time. Just get this in your mind. This is your home now, you can change it however you want to to make it feel like it's your home too, you can have anything you want but just know you're not leaving. At least not until its safe for you" he finished.

"Then tell me why it isn't safe for me? I want to know whats going on? You cannot keep me in the dark if it concerns me?" I huffed.

"I told you gattino, you'll get to know everything just give it some time." he gritted out.

Why is he getting angry?

I am the one who should be angry

I am angry.

" No, tell me now or I'm leaving right now" I huffed.

He grabbed me close and whispered in my ear,

"Look here Bella, im trying to be very patient with you but you seem keen on trying me. You're staying here whether you like it or not. You take one step outside without me knowing and you'll regret it" he finished with a growl.

"I'm not scared of you"

I was terrified and you could probably see it on my face.

"James" he called out.

He came in from the outside.

"She is not to leave the mansion, pass it on," he said looking into my eyes.

I was so angry, I started to get tearing up.

"I hate you "I wailed and ran back upstairs ignoring his calls.
