His Mafia Heiress

Jake's assurance

Chapter 26

— Anika —

People say that if life throws you oranges, make some juice out of it, but it will never be that easy. Life will always find its way to knock you down, if you’re feeling strong enough to face every life battles, life will put you in a situation where you gonna need to crawl for light again, and this happens to me now. I thought Isaac was the only person in this world who believes in me, the only person who will make me feel the world to me, and he proves that once, actually many times, multitudinous.

After living with Isaac at the mansion, I thought life would be different. Since I knew him, he always makes me feel special. Specially when he gave me the promise ring. I believed in whatever he said to me, in his actions. I trusted him with his mafia world for not intervening even though all I wanted was to break the wall he built restraining me from coming into that world. Today, it felt like he built another wall to keep me out, and worst is, all these time he don’t believe me. He didn’t trusted me, it happened before with Casper, I was right and not I knew I’m still on point but he don’t want to believe in me again.

I drove fast, fast like racing with every car I saw on the road, overtaking and hitting every stop light. Fast like racing with my heart beat who can’t control itself. I drove fast racing with the tears falling down my cheeks. I don’t know where to go since I don’t know anything about this place, but one thing I knew is I was hurt. My vision becomes blurry and all of I sudden I was about to bump into a huge trailer truck. I was snapped from my thought when I heard the loud beeping trying to tell me to take the right lane because I’m getting into his lane. Luckily, I was able to turn the steering wheel to right where I should be and hit the brake.

“If you want tie, do it yourself you fool” I heard the driver shouted as he slowly pass by on me. Good thing this car is tinted he wasn’t able to see who I am.

I hold the wheel and cried there for I don’t know how many hours, cried until I my eyes sore. I look out and noticed I’m in a bridge, I get out to check and have some fresh air. I sat on my car and wipe the tears out of me. I look at the sun who was about to set, I noticed this was the bridge Isaac and I stopped before taking pictures for my painting. I look on my left side and reminisce Isaac standing beside his Ferrari, what a handsome creature he is. I suddenly snap out in my deep thoughts when someone talk behind me.

“Can I join my little sister” Jake suddenly pop out from nowhere, or I was just thinking about Isaac that I didn’t I noticed him coming.

“If you’re just going to scold me, I don’t need it right now. Not this time” I said in a pleasing tone.

“Have you been crying?” He asked looking at my face which I hide immediately by looking away.

“You know Jenny was my little sister too” Jake said as he sat down beside me.

“She was my half sister, my father had an affair with some high end prostitute here in Greece” I was shocked with what he said that makes me look at him, he just smirk with my expression.

“Growing old, it was difficult for me to accept her, but little did I know, I would love that little kitten as much as I loved myself. I realize it was never her fault being born out of this world with a prostitute mother, so father decided she will live with us, at first I ignored her completely but she always reached out until one day she saved my life, that little kitten was so brave that no one can keep her from doing what she believes is right, for what she loved, she have passion in Mafia business and we’re surprised about that. “ Jake added, I was just there staring at him the whole time he was talking about the girl I hate that she loves the most, and it hurts me knowing I can hurt him if I did something wrong to that woman.

“You know you have something in common, many things actually, you are fearless like her, you are skilled like her, you have a lot of capabilities like her, you girls are powerful woman and most of all I love you both as my little kittens.” He said rubbing the top of my hair making it look messy.

“You’re instincts might be right, but she was not an enemy, she will never betray our family” He said with a smile trying to convince me.

“She will never betrayed the family, just me” I finally said, I have to let it out because I know one day this might happen and I can’t promise not to harm her beloved sister.

“I knew in her eyes she loved Isaac but Isaac loves you, Jenny was here because of business and not because of Isaac, she already accepts and moved on with her life that's why she went away and took another path, but I appoint her for an important mission.”

“Woman don’t just let go of their feelings and moved on, life was never simple as that.” I said in disagreement and forced a smile.

“Just to give you assurance, I will be the one to punish her when she intervene in your relationship, but i know that will not happen.” He said in conviction.

“I know the situation is hard for you, but I appreciate the assurance you are giving me, and I will count on that” I said, I felt relieved knowing he will not tolerate her sister in case bad things happen.

“The situation is also difficult for you, this is the first time you and Isaac argue and use a not so loud voice on each other, but you know, men don’t like to be shouted specially your soon to be husband is not just some boss but a Mafia boss.” He said smirking.

“So I guessed you have to lower down your guard because Isaac is really pissed off knowing you left the house alone. He’ll be sick without your presence you know.” He said building up again his best friend.

“Okay okay. “ I said laughing

“Just always remember, I love you both three, Jenny, Isaac and you” He said lifting my chin.

“Thank you Jake, I don’t know the feeling of having a brother and I never knew it felt this great and assuring” My heart and mind is now at ease just by talking to Jake.

“I have to go now and tell Isaac you are safe, before sanity take him away.” He said chuckling.

“Then I’ll just stay here for a while and go home later. I just want to breath air and compose myself” I said before he turns back and went to his car.

I still sit there in-front of car and wait for the sunset. I forget how beautiful this one,  and I wanted to see one today.
