The Mafia’s Little Darling

ChapterFour

“Mama”

I found her in her room,. "What's wrong, dear?" she asked. “Why are you back so early”.

I didn't hesitate. "Mama, start packing. We have to leave."

She looked at me, confused. "What happened dear? Are you in trouble? You've been acting strange lately."

I didn't answer. I just kept packing our important things into a traveling box. "Alessia, what's going on?". My mom snapped.

I broke down in tears. "Our lives are in danger, Mama. We have to leave this city tonight."

My mom's expression changed from confusion to worry. "Oh dear, what have you gotten yourself into?" She started helping me pack, her hands shaking.

I couldn't tell her everything, not yet. But I knew I had to keep her safe. We had to get out of here, and fast.

I pulled out my phone and dialed my cousin,Francesca, number. She answered on the first ring. "Hey, cuz! What's up?"

I took a deep breath and blurted out everything - how I met Macino to getting caught by Antonio, the danger we were in, and our need to escape. Francesca listened quietly, then said, "I'm on my way. Pack your bags, I'll be there in 20 minutes."

I hung up and turned to my mom. "Francesca's coming to pick us up. We'll stay at her parents' house in Camogli."

My mom nodded, still looking worried. We quickly packed our luggage and waited anxiously for Francesca to arrive.

When Francesca pulled up, we loaded our bags into her car. "Thanks, cuz," I said, hugging her tightly. "We owe you one."

She smiled and hugged me back. "Don't worry, we'll get through this together”.

We drove off into the night.

I felt a wave of relief wash over me as we left Milan behind. Macino and Antonio wouldn't think to look for us in San Gimignano. I leaned back in the seat and closed my eyes, exhaustion taking over. I slept as Francesca drove through the night.

We arrived in San Gimignano in the early hours of the morning. Francesca's parents, my aunt and uncle, welcomed us warmly and showed us to our rooms. I was grateful for their kindness and hospitality.

Over breakfast, my uncle asked, "So, why the sudden visit? Everything okay?"

No, uncle, "It's nothing, Uncle. Mama just needed a change of scenery, so we decided to come here”. “Away from the city, you know?"

He nodded understandingly. "That's a good decision, kid. I wonder how you city people cope with all that noise and bustling."

Francesca chimed in, "Yeah Dad, Aunt and Alessia were just feeling a bit overwhelmed."

After breakfast, Francesca hugged us tight. "I'll be in touch," she said, before driving off.

Antonio POV

The next day, At the club

I had asked my boys to dig up information about her. Everything they could find.

At the club

I sipped my coffee, feeling smug. Today seemed like a good day. I can’t wait to see Alessia again. I would ask Sophia, the head of housekeeping to make Alessia in charge of cleaning my suite.

I wanted to see her naked again. Completely this time.

In my bed. As I stroked her with my d**k. I wanted to feel her wetness again. My c**k went rock hard.

Calm down little buddy. Your mate is on her way.

I tried to focus. I had sent max to check up on her.

His knock interrupted my thoughts

“Yeah. Come in”

"Boss, I checked. Alessia didn't show up to work today," Max said.

"What do you mean she didn't show up?”.

Max shrugged. "Looks like she’s still shaken up from yesterday."

What could have happened?

Had Macino harmed or did she run off

“Find her”. I said slamming my hands on the desk.

“I need the address to her Uncle’s house In Ithaca”.

“On it boss”. Max said and left the room.

We needed to find her before Macino does or he might hurt her.

Alessia’s POV

Two days later

Two days passed, and I was starting to feel safe. I thought I had finally escaped Antonio’s reach. But, I was wrong.

I was sleeping in my room when I heard Rachel's mom call out, "Alessia dear, please come downstairs. We have guests."

My heart skipped a beat.

Guests?

Who could it be?

I didn't know anyone in this town except Francesca and her family.

I took a quick shower, put on a sundress, and left my hair down. I checked myself in the mirror - I looked pretty good,I smiled to myself.

I walked downstairs. “Who were these guests?”. I wondered.

As I entered the living room, I got the biggest shock of my life.

"Well, well, well. Look who we have here. The lovely Alessia ."

Antonio La'Rosa was sitting on the couch, smirking at me. My mind went blank. Max and about 12 men in black suits were also with him.

Oh my goodness

My mind raced. What was he doing here? How did he find me?

I looked at my mom, uncle and aunt’s face. There was fear written all over their faces. I’m sure Antonio had threatened them.

“Hi senorita” Antonio drawled

“You thought you could get away from me huh?”

“How did you find me here” I asked shakily.

My uncle spoke up, his voice trembling. "The wedding will hold as soon as you want it, sir."

What. Wedding?

“What’s going on here”?. I asked in panic

Antonio’s mouth curled in a smile at my confusion. He was obviously enjoying this.

“Get ready senorita, we are getting married”. He said and stood up.

He turned to face my uncle “The wedding will happen in two days time at my house in Portofino. My boys will be here to pick you up tomorrow”.

What? Two days?.

How could this be happening?

“I’ll see you tomorrow senorita”. He said over his shoulder as he walked to the door. His guards following him closing the door behind them.

When the door closed, I turned to face my family. “What’s going on mom, uncle?”.

“Dear I thought you said you were not in any kind of trouble”. My mom said

“I thought I had escaped his reach mom. It was the reason we moved from Milan. I thought I had escaped. I said sobbing heavily.

“You will have to get married to him dear. He is a mafia. We can’t say No to him. He will kill us all”. My aunt said with fear in her eyes.

“He is a good match. La’Rosa is one of the wealthiest family in Italy. He is rich and he will take care of you. You won’t have to suffer again”. My mom said trying to convince me.

“Oh mom you don’t understand” I said sobbing

“Don’t worry dear. It would be alright, just be a good wife to Antonio, make him happy always and everything would be fine”. She said drawing me closer

I buried my face into her chest

“Oh no I don’t want this, I don’t want to be a mafia’s wife. He is dangerous. He is dangerous mom”.

“Everything would be okay “. She said silently.
