Mafia’s Doctor

Chapter 8: New Club

"You know what I don't understand, why is it that whenever there is a scene in the movie and the girl asks. Who's there ?" Mari said as she popped popcorn in her mouth.

"Like b***h, the killer is not gonna say, I am in the kitchen wanna sandwich," she said making us both laugh.

I was getting better. I only had a slight runny nose but that was about it. When I woke up this morning due to screaming and yelling. Then Mari barged into my room and started frantically screaming in Italian. I was confused to say at least. Once I was able to calm her down. She explained that she had talked to Marco about the whole marriage thing and how it was wrong. And how she wishes she was there for me. Appreciating her kind gesture we hugged out and continued talking more in my room.

I learned that she was 22 years old, she was 8 years younger than Marco which makes him 30. God he is old, maybe I shouldn't say that since I will be 30 myself in 2 years, still, I had 2 years to go.

Anyways we continued talking for hours and quickly noticed that we are becoming very good friends.

We decided that we would have some girl time and watch a movie. 

Here we are wrapped in a blanket curled up with each other watching a scary movie. Why? I have no damn idea.

In the middle of the scary part where the killer was catching up to the victim. 

The front door suddenly banging on the wall which made both of us jump and scream bloody murder.

Nicky and Marco walked through looking like we were crazy.

"You scared the s**t out of us " Mari yelled and both of them.

"Both of you get dressed, we are going out," Marco said as he went up the stairs, ignoring us. 

What crawled up his ass and died.

"Don't take it personally " Nicky said looking at me.

"What makes you think I do ?" I asked

"You may not know this but he cares for you," he said. Was he trying to hint me something?

"Please, all he cares about is not getting arrested, " I said looking away. It seemed as though he wanted to say something else but got interpreted by Mari

"Come one let's go to my room and get ready" she grabbed my arm and dragged me after her. While I was looking back at Nicky, hoping he would say what he wanted.

Mari's room was pretty much the same as my room. Big bed in the middle a coffee table with two chairs and a balcony.

We walked into her closet where she started pulling out her dresses to see which will fit us.

Even though I am a couple of years older than her we were both the same height and size. So it was no problem trying to find something

After trying on so many dresses I finally settled with a chic ruched strapless red mini corset cocktail dress. Mari went with a similar dress except hers was strapped and black. 

I decided to softly curl my hair and let it down. With make-up, I went light but choose red lipstick to go with the dress. Mari did a smokey eye and went with nude lipstick.

Once we were done getting ready we decided to go and wait in the living room for the guys. As we were going downstairs we realized that both of them were already there dressed and waiting for us. Marco was talking on the phone,  while Nicky was on the couch finishing the movie that we started. Noticing us Nicky turned and whistled while Marco paused to whoever he was speaking and turned to look in our direction

"Damn girls you both look gorgeous," Nicky said checking Mari out.  They both shared a look. 

Interesting? 

While Marco just stared. Clearing his throat he hung up.

"Ready to go ?" he said and moved to open the door. Without a second glance. it would be a lie if I said I wasn't hurt. Why should I even care what he thinks of me? it's not like he likes me or anything. Still, it hurts to be ignored. 

Nicky looked at me and gave me a small smile.

"I told you he doesn't care," I said to Nicky and followed Marco out. 

~*~

We pulled up to the club. The music was so loud we could hear it inside the car. There was a big line of people trying to get in. 

"It's the opening of my new club," Marco said as he parked the car and got out.  We followed.

Once inside, we were immediately surrounded by a sea of people. Some were drinking some were dancing. Overall, it looked like they were having fun. 

We continued walking ahead and we took the stairs up to the second floor where we reached the VIP area. The second floor was a bit quiet and calm compared to the first floor. It had a sitting area, a big glass window that looked down to the first floor, and a separate bar on the side. 

"Don't wander off too far make sure you are visible to me, both of you" Marc said looking between us

"And Mari please don't get in trouble," he said taking his phone out. 

"Please, when do I ever brother, " Mari said looking at Marco with innocent eyes.

"You can't fool me " Marco chuckled and walked away.

We both decided to go downstairs and get a couple of drinks and start dancing.

After doing a couple of shots together and of course, putting it on Marco's tab.

 We started dancing to it. The music was amazing. We danced so freely. It felt so good to let go and lose myself in the music. Letting it control my body and my moves. I felt free.

I and Mari were having an amazing time together. She was a carefree and kind person. She was like a sister I never had. We kept dancing and having fun with each other.

After a quick bathroom break, we decided to head up to the VIP section and relax for a while. Once we got there the whole lounge was empty, that's odd.

Mari opened one of the doors and we went inside. No one was there either.

"Where is everyone? " Mari asked and as soon as she said it we heard multiple gunshots. The music had stopped playing and we heard screams. We both looked at each other scared. When we tried to open the door and leave a bunch of guys broke into the room where we were and pointed guns at us.

"Where is Marco " one of them yelled. We were too scared to answer. 

"Look boss she has a wedding ring" One of them pointed at me. 

"Is your name Alice " their boss yelled at me pointing a gun. I nodded. 

"Come here," he said as he roughly grabbed my neck pulling me closer to him, and pointing the gun at my head. 

"Ow stop pulling my hair it hurts " Mari yelled at her captor, who just ignored her. continuing holding on to her hair. Does she have a death wish or something?

The door burst open with Marco, Nicky, and other guys ready to fight. 

"Oh, Marco what a pleasant surprise," said their boss who was still pointing a gun at me.

"Wish I could say the same Robby " Marco spat back.

Robby just chuckled and moved few pieces of my hair that fell on my face. I was at my breaking point. I was trying so hard to contain myself.

"Beautiful wife you got here," he said sliding the gun down my cheek toward my neck. I sobbed silently.

"How about you let my wife go and we can talk like a man " Marco was getting angry. He held his gun so tight you can his knuckles turning white.

"How about we talk while she is here" he continued

"Does she know about the deal, maybe I should do her they that we did to your parents" he continued tracing his gun on my cheek. What is he talking about what deal? What happened to Marco's parents.

"How about you let her go and we can talk about whatever you want, " Marco said looking at Nicky giving him some type of signal.

With on-hand holding his gun to my head Robby used his other hand to pull my hair back exposing my neck. Shivers ran down my body and not the good kind.

"Maybe I could let her go but maybe I won't" he chuckled putting his nose on the crook of my neck. Oh god please no. I closed my eyes and cried.

"She smells so amazing " before Robby could take a deep breath I heard a gunshot. In fact multiple once. My eyes were closed and I refused to open them. I could feel my body falling, but before hitting the floor I was met with someones hard chest, buy the smell of it I knew it was Marco 

"Oh god please" I started crying. My body was shaking.

"Shh, you're safe. I won't let anything happen to you" Marco whispered encouraging words to me.

"He..he.." I hiccuped and unable to form words

"I know my love, you are safe" he continued whispering as I passed out in his arms.

~*~

I could hear hushed voices around me. I couldn't make what they were saying. Feeling how uncomfortable my position is I am going to assume I am on a couch.

I set up trying to blink a couple of times

"She is awake," said Tom.

What? Tom? What is he doing here?

"What? What are you doing here Tom " I said looking around confused. Marco was sitting behind his desk looking at me. He looked worried.  

Huh worried

Nicky was by the window smoking and Mari was sitting on one of the chairs. With tears in her eyes.

"Well hello to you too sis" Tom hugging me., I returned the hug 

"Marco told me what happened and said he had something to say to both of us," Tom said sitting up next to me.

Marco got up from his seat, walked around his desk, and leaned on it.

"I am going to explain everything that has happened today and the reason for our marriage," Marco said looking between me and my brother.

"Before your father and my dad got killed, they were the  leaders of  Italian Mafia "
