Chapter 22
We were sitting at the table at Madre's, eating dinner, when my phone began to buzz. I ignored it several times, but it wouldn't stop. I got up to excuse myself, and took the call in the next room.
"Mr.Fratelli... What can I help you with?"
"Took you long enough to answer the phone."
"Its Christmas..."
Fratelli interrupted. "Carlos...its Francesca...I'm afraid she was found murdered this morning."

The phone went dead. I left the guest bathroom, and found Carlos still waiting for me. "Is everything okay, Baby? Your shaking." He took my hands, and rubbed my fingers.Of course, he would notice that my nerves were getting the best of me. " I think maybe its where I haven't eaten anything today." I told him.

🔥Carlos's POV 👑I couldn't sleep, so I decided to watch tv for a while. About half way through an episode of "Law and Order", Maria started to stir in her sleep. She started pulling at her tubing and crying. I quickly grabbed her hands. "Maria". I said as I stood up. She opened her eyes, looking up at me. "Your okay...your just having a dream."She sat up, looking around. "Where is he? Where did he go?"I shook my head, still holding her hands. "Baby, whoever he is , he's gone.

🔥 Carlos's POV🔥A few days later, Maria was feeling better, and she was able to be rid of her tubes on observation. She desperately needed out of the house, so I took her to the Sapphire with me, so she could teach Madre how to use the hoops and fabric. I had a general idea of what they were doing after one of our crew men hung them. I was watching Maria, and couldn't believe her talent. Just getting her off the tubes, gave her a bost ofmuch needed energy, despite her arms covered in bruises. She was swinging from a hoop, hanging upside down, flipping up, going to her feet and swinging. She was amazing to watch.After about 45 minutes though, I made her get down. "I don't want you wearing yourself out...Go get a drink, a shower, and come rest a while in my office....I'll take you to lunch after while, if you feel like eating."I was sitting in my office checking the books, when Mad

👑Maria's POV👑"Maria, Baby....there's something I need to ask you." Carlos says to me, as we head down the road in his new truck, that he bought for himself as a Valentine. I look at him and then look at his knuckles as they turn white on the steering wheel. " I need you to question a prisoner....torture, but not draw blood.""Fuck, Carlos...I thought you were kidding the other night!"Carlos speeds through a yellow light as it turns red. "Its Nikki...""Fuck, No!...I'm not torturing her...I won't take punishment again, Carlos...I can't."Carlos put his hand on my knee and pats me. "He can't touch you, Maria....she's a hostage. Its war rules, and besides....he hasn't been in Jersey in weeks....that's why your going to talk to her. She knows where in Canada he is and who he's working with.....
