My heart stopped when I heard those words. Every bit it the way he said it, was enchanting. Tonight he came to me with a fine black shirt and faded blue jeans. We looked like teens hiding out in a garden because we didn't want anyone to know, we were….

“Sofia.” His voice broke into my reverie.

“Yes.”

“I… know you are. I know you…. You are probably upset about…”

“Quinn, please, not now. Don't change the topic here.”

He was quiet, pursing his lips like he always did when he is embarrassed. That was something that almost never happened. He sucked in a breath and exhaled.

“I am sorry. I am really sorry. I held back even ehen I knew you didn't want me to. I made you feel like you mattered only because of what you could do for me.”

He squeezed my hand.

“I am sorry I didn't tell you what I should. I made you keep quiet and hold back so much. To constantly ask yourself what exactly we are.”

I looked down at our hands. “You don't have to apologize. This is my fault too.”

    GINA’S POV The doctors lifted Quinn onto the stretcher and hurried off, beckoning on everyone to get out of the way. I tried seeing him off with them, to see his face before he is wheeled into the theater but the nurses held me back.“Mam, please. He need to get treatment. You could be bleeding internally. Mam, he will be fine. Please take care of yourself.” They said. Their hands gripping me from all sides. My face is smeared with tears and my vision blurred. I couldn't fight their hold. I'm just too tired. The nurses won, strapping me to a stretch. The lights on my way to the the emergency room kept flickering on and off. I turned my head sideways and held a nurses hand.And mutered. “Please… please don't let my husband die.”Her eyes are glossy, holding a hint of uncertainty. She mouthed silently. ‘We will try our best.’ It was the last thing I heard before the lights went out.****************THE FOLLOWING DAY “Mum, Dad is going to be alright. Don't cry please.” Derek said, snu

  • BETRAYED BY THE MAFIA LORD   Chapter One hundred and two

    GINA'S POV I hit the road in the night and drove my full tank of gas all the way towards God knows where until it dried up. I parked the rental car in a motel I found in that unknown location and checked in. It is day break already. My eyes are sullen from crying and my head is aching. The motel attendant gave me aspirin and asked me to take it in front of her. I wasn't going to OD (overdose) and die in their motel.I didn't find it funny, not even a little bit. I paid in cash and crashed my tired self on the bed. Yesterday night playing in my mind on loop. I'm Aura. I'm Aura. I've been Aura this entire time. They were looking for me. I couldn't remember anything from the past that Quinn had narrated but it somehow made sense that I met Quinn and Leonardo. Why I was instantly pulled to them of all the people in the world.Until last night, I was certain my parents were mine. I had been lied to. Over and over. How much of my life do I not know? How much is missing in my memory?“Fuc

    GINA'S POVMy plan touched down on East side, Orlands Airport. I took the rental car and drove into town. It is going to be a long drive to my destination so I called home. I talked with Derek than I called an old friend.“Hello, Guss.”I heard a chuckle at the other end of the phone.“What's funny?”“Oh, nothing. I'm still surprised you asked me for help. I mean. The first time we met ended you making one of those Hispanic girls slap the nuts of me.”I smiled. That was funny. “I'm glad you don't hold grudges.”“Grudges don't suit a black brother like me plus, the lady is hot by the way.”I let out a small laugh. “Take care of her.”“I will.” The line cut. I dropped the phone and stepped on the gears. The retried nurse told me that Aura was not adopted. She was taken by her family. Going on this hunt, made me realize why Quinn and Leonardo may have never found this if they looked. Hailey’s husband has access to filed that no one else can. Rock Creek hospital was a military hospital b

    GINA'S POV“Hello, Quinn, finally. I've been calling.”“I'm sorry baby. Its really messed up over here.” I can hear a hint of frustration in his voice.“Is she really Aura.” He was silent for a moment. “Yeah.”“Oh my god.”“Mhmm. It really sucks. I didn't think I will ever have to meet her again under these circumstances.”“What are You gonna do?”“Leonardo and I have agreed, we will stay. If we left her alone back then she wouldn't have ended up the way she did. We have to make it up to her. Anyway we can.”“Quinn, are you growing a soft spot for her?” I wish so bad that he can understand how disgusted that made me feel.“I know this is so out of place but she is Aura.”“I don't care. Your Aura has become a bitch. Who she was in the past past doesn't validate or save her from any of the harm she did in the Future.” I was almost yelling, veins popping from my head. “Gina, please. I understand what this is like but I don't think you understand that we owe this girl. We have a lot to

    SAMANTHA’S POVIts been a month since I fell off that base building. I still had fractures in places where fractures shouldn't be. But that wasn't the scary thing, it is that once again I had to sit in the same room with the men who put me here.Quinn is standing behind Leo. His massive figure pressing too hard against his suite. His face is ice cold and he wore no smile. Like the executioner on a visit with Hades. Leo was comfortable settled in the third cushion chair in the room. His legs crossed and his eyes fixed on me without blinking.I held my breath and squeezed my palms together. Trying to remind myself to calm down that I was here welcome. “Samantha Honey, it's alright. This men are your friends. That have been looking for you. Tell them how you found us.” The old lady said. I smiled brightly and then returned my gaze to the two men. I gulped. If only she knew what we all meant to each other now she wouldn't have cramped us up in the same room.“I remember two weeks ago, L

    LEONARDO’S POV“Its Samantha’s father. All of a sudden, he has grown a soft spot for the girl he once abused. Now he is hunting my men down and tearing my syndicates apart and I can't do anything about it.”Gina’s eyes are locked with mine. The light in the room made them glimmer. She has tears in her eyes too, that's why. Her face held an expression of pity. She is worried about me and knowing that made my heart melt. The kiss on my lips made me realize how much I'm still in love with her.“Matteo will squash you. You don't have what it takes to hold him down, Leo.” I flashed her a big smile. “I won't go down without a fight either. You don't need to bother about all this. Its my business.”“And you saved our… Derek, I can't just standby and watch you suffer. Plus, Matteo should pay for raising a kid like Samantha.” She turned around to stare at Quinn who has been fuming with anger since they walked into the room. He exchanged glances with Gina. Hie frown deeper instantly.“Forge

    GINA’S POV The telephone rang. I sprang up from the chair immediately. My face has paled out, I'm covered in cold sweat and half asleep. I staggered to the phone. My head weighed a thousand pounds and there was this throbbing ache gnawing at the back of my head. I could feel the pain, I could notice how blurry everything is but I couldn't care less. Its been two days. No one has called. No one is replying to my texts, no one is reaching out. My hair is haggard, pulled out strands littered the floor. My eyes are sullen and my body felt like it came out of a washing machine. Broken and beaten up. I picked up the phone. “Hello. Quinn, is that you?”“This is Daisy from Hudson Pizza calling to ask if you…” I hung up, sighed and crumbled to the floor, hugging my knees. Oh, God what happened to them. Please.. someone should call please. Tears soaked the knees of my pajamas. I covered my mouth and muffled a sob by pressing my lips into my palm. I don't want to wake Hailey. She has been

    QUINN'S POV We took the Jet. Leonardo had informed us he ks coming to meet us so we met him at the Delgado train station. There was a small eatery just off the station, across the road. We booked a private space and ordered burgers. The only means on their menu that allowed us to keep our food on our laps while we covered the table with maps. Leonardo brought the most advanced map of them all. He brought guns too but he came alone. His own way of warding off suspicion from himself. Now we are all standing, looking over the draft on the map and trying to figure out where exactly Samantha is going. She was last spotted taking route that intersected several other roads including a mountain path, a valley and a ranch. She could be anywhere. I sucked in a deep breath and exhaled. My eyes returned to the cell I was holding. There are markers of different landscapes and infrastructures in all directions. It still didn't make it easier where she is going. Leonardo stroked his chin an

    GINA’S POV “Are you sure?” Quinn asked, pulling the picture closer to him. He peered at it, trying to see what I saw.“Yes. I remember when she had that cut. I don't know if there is any way she could have come to know that my son is here but I do know that if there is anyone mad enough to track you guys down, it's her.”“I thought Leonardo said she had a miscarriage?” Quinn reminds me.“I know which is why I feel it in my gut that she wants to kill my baby because she lost hers. I know it's a hunch but…”“I will check it out. We have nothing right now. This is the best we have been able to make out in hours, we will work with it.” Hailey’s husband took the lead immediately. He had Samantha's image printed out and he left with some of his own to have her face run through any database there is and see if she may have come anywhere near Australia.Meanwhile, I suggested to Quinn that we call Leonardo. He didn't buy it. He wouldn't even entertain it but I insisted. If anyone could find
