Innocence Interrupted - A Mafia Story Chapter 121
MadeleineI could finally relax. The danger had passed. Rafael assured me again and again that all his enemies were neutralised - his words, not mine.Slowly, but surely, the past started to slip away, as it always does, and I started to relax. Started to believe that we were finally safe.The months pass in a beautiful haze of excitement and joy.Everything just clicked into place. The pregnancy is easy, Betsy has settled down, and some days I forget what she used to be like before. Before Rafael found me, and before he took us. The before, when I worked in a dingy casino, surrounded by cigarette smoke and despair. The before, when our future was so uncertain.It’s all in the distant past now. I found a life and a future with the most unlikely man imaginable. The kind of person I used to despise.Some mornings, when he joins us for breakfast, I’ll look at him, and can’t believe my own damn luck. We’ve settled into a kind of domestic bliss. Rafael is here when I leave in the morning
Innocence Interrupted - A Mafia Story Chapter 120
RafaelElliot said the world would end with a whimper, not a bang. That is how my war with Sforza ended. Quietly. The guns fell silent.And like the eery quiet on the Western Front, when the last of the guns fired their shots, so my life settled into the same, uncomfortable silence.For a while, I followed the headlines like my life depended on it. Because it did. Mine and Madeleine’s did. They discovered the bodies on the dirt road, but the investigation was swift and superficial. The police declared that it was an altercation between the gangsters, and couldn't be arsed to look deeper.I think they were just glad to be rid of Rossi and his crew. As much as the honest police officers in this town hate me, they hated Rossi even more.Sforza’s death was declared natural. Sepsis due to food poisoning. I kept waiting, holding my breath, for the police to show up at my door, for the cartel to show up and hack my family to pieces. But Mitchell heeded my warning, and Harris took early reti

MadeleineThe bright sunlight stabs at my eyes, and I have to blink a few times to adjust. The air is different here. Fresher somehow. More open.“Now what?” I ask.“We go home.”“It’s over?”“Yes.”I look over my shoulder into the diner, at Sforza who is still sitting in the booth, finishing his pie. “What about him? What if he survives and comes for us again?”“He won’t, Madeleine. There is no way he can survive.”“Can’t we at least take him to a hospital so he won’t… suffer.”A smile flickers across Rafael’s face. “Good. After what happened with Rossi, I was worried.”I turn my attention back to him and look up at his handsome face. I never get tired of watching him. “Why?”He shrugs. “That kind of thing… it changes a person. On a fundamental level. It makes me happy to see that you still have compassion.”We start to wander back to the house. We didn’t touch our food, and I didn’t take one sip of my tea. I’m thirsty and I’m hungry, but mostly I’m in a state of utter disbelief. It f

MadeleineThe man in the corner suddenly looks sinister and grotesque. When we entered, I thought he looked like someone’s dad, maybe passing through on his way somewhere else. He didn’t appear to be a threat. He looked so… normal.What are we going to do? If he’s like Rafael, he didn’t come here alone. And Frankie is at home, all alone and with no idea what’s going on.My legs are wobbly, and my palms are extra sweaty. I regret leaving my gun at home, but Rafael always carries his - even when we’re just sitting in the living room talking, he has his gun with him.My husband slides in next to Sforza and takes the seat opposite him. I have no idea what Rafael has planned, but every nerve is on fire. I can barely breathe, let alone think.No one says a word while we wait for the waitress to place our menus in front of us. The food all looks like it originates from the sixties, and so do the menus with their faded pictures and sticky plastic coverings.“What would you like to drink?”I

RafaelI sit at the faded table in the quaint little kitchen and sip on a glass of wine as I listen to Betsy’s babbling.We are far away from the city, in a village so small that it doesn’t even show on the GPS. Nestled at the foot of the mountains, this place would be a fantastic tourist destination, but the villagers are mostly farmers, and they like their peace. Any attempts by developers to turn this place into the next big, must see internet hit, are quickly shut down by the locals.There isn’t much to do here. They are so far off the grid, that I’m surprised they have electricity. There’s one diner that’s open twenty-four-seven and even serves Christmas dinner, a co-op that sells everything from jeans to fertiliser, and a general store covers everything else.I love it here. It’s quiet. Calm. Peaceful. After a good three hours of catching up, Betsy starts to wind down and gives us a big yawn. “Her days are busy,” Ethel says with a smile. “We go hiking, and we look for rabbits in

RafaelI get up from the stool and walk over to my suitcase. Ignoring the dull, gwaning pain in my hands, I pull something that looks like a credit card out, and grinning, I hold it up for the others to see. “I’ve been checking in with the guys every so often.”“How?” Madeleine asks.“Is that a phone card?” Frankie asks, clearly surprised.“Yes-" I gets to his feet. “I’ve been checking in with Paulie and Vinnie every night.”At first, Frankie goes white with shock, and then his face explodes with red fury. “You’d do that? Put our lives at risk? Tip off the cops?”“Relax. The calls never last longer than two minutes, and the call always go through to a different burner phone.”“It’s not a guarantee… they can still trace us!”“You are right, but it was a calculated risk I needed take.”And also the reason we have to get out of here asap. The longer we hang around, the more calls I make from that lonely payphone, the more suspicious it will become. Sooner or later, someone at the phone co
