Mafia Wife : If life was fear

The two strangers

Lucas POINT OF VIEW

I can not believe I have been sent here to bail her out . Others are doing a heist that I organized but I am here bailing out a woman who barely knows me .

" Well he is your brother ' s wife and he is not present so you are obligated to be here for the success of our plan . " my sister Charlotte said .

" You are correct he is my brother ' s wife not mine . " I said this in rage because I do not understand why I should be present to bail out a woman who might think we are nosey to get involved in her business . I also failed to comprehend why they need me for their plan , I am good with guns not sweet talking women .

" Like it or not we have to protect her because we have to gain her trust , then get her business running and keep cleaning the money . " my sister said to try to calm me down but I was just furious because I organized a heist which I was now not part of , this infuriated me to the core . Charlotte was capable of fixing this whole situation without me , she is the world ' s best lawyer for crying out loud she clearly does not need me for this plan .

Charlotte tried to keep me calm and insisted that I should keep quiet about the heist and not forget that we are not supposed to let her know we are related to Benjamin in any way . " So what are we ? " I asked my sister and she said we are just two strangers who heard her story and we just want to help her .

My responds was whatever ! I was just still in disbelief that I missed a very important heist for Olivia my brother ' s wife whom I have never even met .

" Here she comes please try to be nice for a change and forget about that stupid heist and look at the bigger picture here , how will you clean the money obtained from the heist ? and we are in a police station they will soon suspect us " Charlotte said . But all I could think about is the heist I organized which I am now not part of just because he takes all the decisions and somehow he left Charlotte in charge instead of me . Charlotte poked me " That is Olivia right ? " She asked as Olivia was walking towards us from the corridors . I looked in the direction she was pointing at , I saw a very comely young lady whose face expressed fear , wearing the most stylish outfit I had ever seen I guess she was not a typical housewife . I had seen her pictures before but they do not do her justice she is far more attractive in reality . Her soft pink lips , irresistible baby blue eyes and wasp-like figure wide burst , narrow waist and wide hips made me get lost in a world of nostalgic memories , she made me recall Lily a lady I once was romantically involved with before she double crossed me with another man . She walks past the corridor and meets with our eyes .

People in my cell were very creepy and weird just by looking at them I could tell which were murderous and which were robbers . They gave me a weird look and some a threatening look . I was sure that I would not survive till morning until a police officer came and said I got bail . I was shocked that I got bail because I did not contact anyone for help . I got out of my cell and two strangers had bailed me out . " Hi Olivia I am Charlotte Davis and I will be representing you . " a young petite lady in formal wear with a briefcase said to me .

I just stared at them without saying a word because I was in shock that someone was representing me without my knowledge .

A young man who was standing behind her was wearing a black poll neck with a slim double check suit and well-polished shoes , he stood there tall and he was wearing a very familiar watch which I think I had seen somewhere but I did not go deep into it because that astonished me . While avoiding eye contact he said " Well since she is mute I will wait for you guys in the car . " he suggested as he walked out leaving me with the petite lady to finish the paperwork , honestly speaking he did not come across as a rude person but the moment he opened his mouth he sounded arrogant . After a while we finished the paperwork and went outside where he was waiting for us in the car . One thing I knew for sure was that I am not going to trust two strangers just because they bailed me out .

Being betrayed by my husband of ten years was eye opening , I would rather end up nowhere than to leave with these people not a chance . Even though they bailed me out there is no way I will trust them ,there must be a motive behind helping me .

Charlotte Point of view

" Miss Mounts please come with us . " I said to her with a warm smile . She looked uncomfortable and so was I , she just kept quiet and walked away from us . I thought gaining her trust was going to be easy but clearly I was wrong I guess she really loved that stupid brother of mine . Now , I have to run after a lady in the middle of the night in heels all because of the snitch who exposed my brother . When I finally caught up with her I once again asked her to come with us but then again she refused . The worst part is I can not use force because it is very vital that she does not have a single scratch in her body and most importantly trust us . She has to think of us as the good people in her story not the villians like Benjamin .

" Olivia please wait ! " I shouted . " I know how it feels like to be betrayed by the one you love and trust with all your heart . " I said to Olivia and she slowed down to listen to me . I started weeping . I told her that my husband had betrayed me years ago with a similar situation that happened to her which is why I want to represent her in court to fight the injustice men do to us . After five minutes of my crocodile tears and sad story she bought my story and walked to the car with me . She actually believed the lies I fed her .

She just kept quiet and got into the backseat of the car and at that moment I just knew it was going to be a very long journey but at least she had little trust in me .

" Where are we taking the mute lady ? " Lucas asked rudely . I just wanted to slap the arrogance out of him right there at the spot . " Definitely not her house because the press is there . " I said this as I watched him slow the speed of the car due to the traffic that was 2 minutes away . " So where are we taking her ? " He asked again this time he was more rude .

Seems like my brother has never heard of first impression counts because the more questions he asks the ruder he becomes and at this point Olivia might not believe our sad story which could blow our cover . " Miss Mounts do you have any relative we can take you to ? " I asked her calmly and she rudely said " First of all please do not call me Miss Mounts , secondly who are you ? "

Lucas facetiously laughed and said " So she is also rude " .

Olivia immediately apologized proving to us that she is a very sweet lady , it is just that she is dealing with a lot pertaining to the betrayal caused by the man she loves but I could care less . I looked at the back where she was sitting and I told her that we understand that she is in pain and I could sense assurance in her innocent eyes , Olivia clearly has not fully learned her lesson about trusting people . I had got her right where I wanted now everything is under control with the plan .

Hopefully she agrees to everything we say because force is the last thing I want to use all for the sake of my interest otherwise her face would be disfigured by now for making we ran in heels that too in the streets after bailing her out .

" So you understand her pain and not mine ? " I ask Charlotte who looked at me furiously and called out my name

" Lucas ! This is not the place or time for your drama " . Charlotte responded me and I just sarcastically said " Wow ! " and I could not wait for this day to end so that I can sit peacefully at my apartment without the sound or smell not even a sight of a female around me .

But when Charlotte said I will be staying with Miss Mounts at my apartment as her bodyguard , I just knew that she lost her mind . How can I stay with a stranger in my apartment no way this is not happening it must be a dream someone please wake me up . Charlotte repeated herself this time with a high tone .

" As her what ? " I asked again since it was not part of the initial plan nor the plan B . Charlotte looked at me and I just focused on my driving , " Lucas you have to stay with her at your apartment it will be the last place the press will be looking for her . " Charlotte said . At that moment I just kept quite because I knew that once she has her mind made up no one can change it especially that she was given the power to make decisions by Benjamin . Being the youngest sibling is truly annoying you also have to listen to older siblings all the time . When I find the i***t who betrayed my brother he or she will breathe his or her last breath .

Olivia Point Of View

After that short argument of these two strangers I could already tell that they are siblings and this made me miss my little brother who was overseas , we also used to fight even for the smallest things despite our age gab which required me to be more reasonable and wiser than him . " Miss Mounts your trial is in three weeks but in the meantime I will try my best to unfreeze your bank accounts and get the company running again . " the petite lady sitting at the passenger seat confidently said to me . So she is bossy I like her already .

" Thank you so much for your help but what about the burial arrangements of Benjamin ? " I asked . Even though Benjamin betrayed me I still have to fulfil my duty as a wife for the sake of my reputation and my families legacy .

" I will try my best to sort it out soon . " Charlotte responded . They are some beautiful souls still left on earth . Lucas dropped Charlotte at a gas station .

After that a long quiet drive to Lucas ' s apartment . On our way to his apartment he turned the radio volume up but I could tell he was not listening to the radio , it was just his way of ignoring me . Personally think he was just wasting his time because I also had no interest listening or even talking to him . I wonder why Charlotte did not take me with her instead . She had helped me enough for a day so I did not want to question her decision that too Infront of her rude brother .
