The Mafia's Little Raven Chapter 68
LEILA ..“Yeah, I got a problem with your friend putting his hands on my girl!” the boyfriend shot back, standing his ground, even though he was clearly outnumbered.The situation escalated fast.The gang started trying to hit the boyfriend, circling him, throwing punches.The girlfriend was screaming, trying to push them away, shielding her boyfriend with her own body, begging them to stop.The sound of the confrontation, the shouts, the grunts, the girl’s cries, cut through the mundane sounds of the gas station, drawing the attention of the few other people around.The guys getting fuel in the trucks turned, watching, some with mild curiosity, others with that familiar look of not wanting to get involved.Gerald was sitting with us, facing away from the pumps, his baseball cap pulled low over his eyes, sipping his coffee silently.He hadn’t said anything, hadn’t reacted outwardly to the commotion.He just kept his cap pulled down, his body language completely neutral, but then,

LEILA ..I looked out the window of the car while the blur of the passing city felt so unreal and in a more hopeful way.The streetlights, the buildings, the occasional late-night traffic it all seemed part of a different world, one we had just clawed our way back into.The compound, that terrifying fortress, was receding behind us, becoming just another dark mass against the pre-dawn sky. The feeling of movement, of actual forward motion away from that place, was intoxicating, a heady mix of freedom and sheer, adrenaline-fueled terror.Misa sat beside me, quiet now, her gaze also fixed on the passing landscape, her hand still resting lightly on my arm.We drove for what felt like a long time, putting miles between us and the compound, between us and Damien’s inevitable discovery.The city eventually thinned out, the buildings giving way to wider roads, darker stretches of highway bordered by trees and open fields.We were moving into the countryside, leaving the urban sprawl of

LEILA ..As we moved deeper into the less-used sections of the corridor, the lighting grew even sparser.The air felt cooler, still, stagnant, and we started seeing things.Security guards, but they weren’t patrolling diligently, weren’t scanning the halls, weren’t looking for escapees.Their minds, their eyes, were clearly not on their job.One guard leaned against a wall, head tilted back, mouth slightly open, seemingly asleep on his feet, his weapon loose in his hand, and another sat slumped on the floor, leaning against the wall, playing a game on his phone, the low, flickering glow from the screen illuminating his distracted face, his full attention on the digital world.Further down, in a recessed alcove where the shadows were deepest, where a utility closet door was slightly ajar, two figures pressed together.A security guard and maybe a maid or one of the ladies here.They were standing, their bodies locked together, a raw, animalistic intensity emanating from them even

LEILA ..The soft, distinct click of the door made my eyes snapped open, wide and immediate in the darkness.My entire body went rigid beneath the blanket.The door creaked open while the sound felt so loud and in a more terrifying way in the absolute quiet of the room, a sound that seemed to tear through the stillness like a physical thing.A sliver of dim corridor light spilled into the room.A guard.I could make out his silhouette in the doorway, a bulky shape, his head tilting slightly as he peered into the gloom, checking if we were sleeping, if everything was quiet, normal.I held my breath, every muscle in my body screaming with the effort of remaining still.My heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic, terrified drum that I was convinced he must be able to hear from where he stood and I squeezed my eyes shut again, forcing my breathing to remain even, shallow, slowing it down with force of will.Just look like you’re asleep, I told myself, a silent, desperate mantra.Ju

LEILA ..I felt the sudden tension in his body, the way his muscles locked up.His eyes, I knew instinctively, would be wide with surprise, maybe even shock.He didn't hug me back and after a beat that felt like an eternity, he gently, but firmly, detached my arms from around him, putting a little distance between us again.He didn’t say anything about the hug.Just looked down at me, his expression back to that guarded neutrality, though the softness in his eyes hadn't completely vanished.“Go,” he said, his voice quiet, urgent. “Now. Before” He didn't finish the sentence, but I knew what he meant.Before Damien came back.Before my absence from my room was noted.Before the guards were told to keep a closer eye on me.I nodded, scrambling awkwardly to my feet, clutching the key like it was made of solid gold.The pain in my ankle was a dull roar, but suddenly manageable as I turned and moved quickly towards the door while the rush to leave felt so vital and in a more panicked wa
The Mafia's Little Raven Chapter 63
LEILA ..I knelt there on the floor of his immaculate room, my voice raw from begging, tears still tracking hot paths down my face.Gerald just stood above me, quiet, watching.The silence stretched, thick with my desperation and his unspoken thoughts.I watched his face, searching for any sign, any crack in the constructed facade of control.And then, it happened.His gaze softened while the shift in his expression felt so slight and in a more hopeful way for me, just a fraction, a fleeting glimpse of something other than the cold neutrality he usually wore.His eyes dropped from mine to my tear-streaked face, to the trembling of my shoulders, to the sad, crumpled heap I made on his floor.He saw my state. Really saw it and I guess something shifted within him.He let out a slow breath, a sound almost swallowed by the silence of the room.He didn't say he would help immediately.Not in so many words.But his next words, his tone, the set of his jaw, told me the impossible had ha

DAMIEN .. I stood before the easel, brush in hand, lost in the colors and textures on the canvas.Painting. It was one of the few things that quieted the relentless noise in my head, that allowed a different kind of focus.Then, the door opened.Not barged in, not knocked, but opened.Gerald.He didn’t wait for an invitation, which usually would have annoyed the hell out of me, but something in his expression stopped the immediate irritation.He looked rattled.Unsettled.Gerald didn’t look rattled.He walked in while the sound of his steps felt so fast, his usual controlled demeanor fractured around the edges.He stopped a few feet away, his eyes wide, fixed on mine.“Damien,” he said, his voice strained. “It’s Leila.”My hand stilled on the canvas.My focus snapped away from the painting, sharp and immediate.Something about the way he said her name, the tension in his body, sent a cold ripple through me.“What about her?” My voice was level, calm, but inside, something coile

LEILA .. When it was time for lunch, later that day, the maid came in, her usual quiet presence a familiar part of the routine. Just as she was about leaving.She placed the tray on the small table, a simple meal, bread, some cold cuts, a piece of fruit.Just as she was about leaving, turning her back to slide the door shut, Misa gave the smallest, almost imperceptible nod.My heart leaped into my throat, a sudden, violent flutter.My hand shot out while the movement felt so fast and in a more desperate way, grabbing the dull silver knife from the breakfast tray.It wasn't sharp, not like a real weapon, but it would look convincing enough.The maid paused, alerted by my sudden movement, and started to turn back.Before she could fully face me, I was behind her. My arm went around her neck, clumsy and awkward, pulling her back against me.The knife, cool and smooth against my trembling fingers, went to her throat.I held it there, pressing just hard enough for her to feel the co
The Mafia's Little Raven Chapter 60
LEILA .. Misa looked up from her notebook, her eyes, that fierce, intelligent, sparkling with something that looked suspiciously like amusement. A slow smile spread across her face, a genuine one, warm and surprising after the intensity of the night before.“No,” she said, her voice soft, a low chuckle rumbling in her chest.“No, you didn’t mess up.” She stood up while the rising from the chair felt so easy and in a more fluid way.“Rather, you gave us a better plan, we actually could’ve been killed if we had tried how we planned it.”My confusion must have been written all over my face.A better plan?How is that?Everything had gone wrong. My ankle was throbbing, Gomez had attacked me, and I’d ended up in Damien’s room, the morning sun revealing just how completely I’d failed to escape.I walked towards her while the movement across the room felt so slow and in a more uncertain way, my sore ankle protesting with every step.I dropped my things onto the bed with a soft thud an
