Captive Affair Chapter 94
•GIANNI•I sat in my hotel room running my fingertip along the rim of my glass.Billie didn't tell me Kinley was here. She didn't even warn me."Did you tell her?" I looked over at Luca and shook my head, "No. You saw us when you walked in, do you really think she would have been ready to jump on top of me if she knew?"Luca sighed and sat down across from me, "You're going to have to tell her.""Are you mad? Did you see her? She's not pushing me away now. I can't take the risk of telling her only to lose her again.""And what the fuck do you think is going to happen when she finds out on her own and realizes you kept it from her?""We will just have to make sure she doesn't find out then.""This is a dangerous game you're playing, Gianni."Luca was right, but I had no other option. I spent months waiting for her to return, I wasn't about to risk having her leave and shut me out again.Luca shook his head, "The entire problem was lack of communication. Do you really want to go down t

•KINLEY• Billie returned with Matius sometime after Gianni left. And both of them began to grill me on what happened.I told them the truth, I was as clueless as they were.When I first saw Gianni at the club, I was fuelled by lust. The truth was I thankful for Luca's distraction. I needed to take things slowly with Gianni after everything that happened.The last thing I wanted to do was cause either of us any more pain.I did enough of that."So, dinner. You need us to get out of the house tonight?"I frowned at Billie, "Why would I need you to get out of the house?"She rolled her eyes, "Aren't you going to bring him back here?""What? No. We're doing this slowly, Billie. I don't want to rush into getting back with him if it isn't the right choice."Matius sighed, "Kinley, fate brought the two of you back together for a reason.""Billie isn't fate." I shot her a look."I just gave you the push that was very much needed." She shrugged as if it was no big deal at all."Yeah, yeah. But

•KINLEY•As the night progressed, I began to notice Gianni was acting strangely.I was trying to move on from the fact that he told me he was sleeping around.I tried to get some sort of a spark back while we had dinner, but it felt rather fleeting and futile.When I went to the restroom, I noticed he pulled out his phone once he thought I wasn't there.He looked down at it with annoyance on his face before shaking his head and pocketing it.When I returned to the table I decided I would ask about what I saw, "I noticed you were checking your phone. Is everything okay?"He kept a calm expression on his face, "Everything is fine. It's the usual mafia crap. Barney can't leave me a moment of peace."I smiled, "How is Barney?"I noticed the way his jaw clenched slightly, "He is fine. He is doing better than I expected him to do. We work well together."His tone was clipped as if he didn't want to speak about Barney."I think I should get back home."I noticed the disappointment on his fac

•KINLEY•When I got into Gianni's car I could instantly tell that something was wrong.He was tense.Billie and Matius were taking their rental car over to the club."That dress looks even better on you in person.""Thank you. I thought you would like it," I glanced at him, "You look a bit tense, is everything okay?"He nodded, keeping his eyes on the road as we drove."Everything is fine. I'm busy with a delicate situation, so my mind is a little busy.""Mafia business?"He nodded again, "You could say that."I wasn't quite sure how to respond to that, so I turned away."Kinley, would you consider coming back home at a later stage?"I thought about my answer, "Maybe. If things work out between us, yes.""Good. I miss having you around.""I do miss you. I haven't stopped missing you if I'm being honest."He reached over with one of his hands, placing it on my knee. His touch still sent tingles through my body.We remained in comfortable silence for the remainder of the drive and when

•GIANNI•The room smelt of dampness and mildew, and the chipping concrete floor had matches of wetness from the leaking roof.I was used to dumps like this. But I would have rather been anywhere else.There was nothing in the room but a steel table and a chair; it dipped to the side slightly on the uneven flooring.Barney had arranged this place. He knew there was no reason to concern ourselves over style.We were here to get a job done.A messy job to say the least.One of our newer recruits who worked with our men in Italy sat on the chai, a deep crease on his brow and tiny beads of sweat beginning to mist over his face.He knew why he was here, although none of us told him.He was found to be stealing our product. The drugs were going missing. I stepped over to the table, his eyes stared up at me with worry in them.Barney and Luca stood on either side of the sealed door. They both knew I had no need or desire to involve either of them with this.Theft and betrayal enraged me. Bu

•GIANNI•"So should I find a replacement for Roberto?" Tony asked me.He sat on the opposite side of the table, Barney and Luca along the sides.I was distracted and kept checking my phone to see if Kinley had texted me.I hadn't heard from her since the previous day and it was starting to bother me."NO. Barney verified his story. No need to replace him."Tony looked at me as if I had grown a second head, "But he stole from you.""To pay for his wife's medical bills. Move along, this isn't up for discussion." I glanced back down at my phone."Would you like to reschedule?" Tony asked."No. I'm waiting for a call from my wife.""Kinley."My head snapped up, "How do you know my wife?""Purely coincidental. I met her a few months ago when she just moved to Italy. We became friends."I didn't miss the way Barney and Luca glanced at me."And you didn't think to mention that to me before?"He shrugged "I didn't realize who she was. I only placed the pieces together yesterday when she menti

•KINLEY•I sat rather awkwardly on the jet.Luca offered me a cold greeting when they had picked me up before coming to the airport, and Barney offered me a brief nod.I could tell both of them were annoyed with me, not that I could blame them after what I did to Gianni.I looked over at them while they discussed strategies. Gianni wanted to go in guns blazing and rescue his men, and Luca wanted to scope the place out before making any moves in case it was some sort of trap. And Barney wanted to negotiate.I decided to throw my input in, not that my opinion was asked for."Why don't you combine all three aspects?"Gianni turned to me, his expression looked as if he wasn't sure he had heard me, "Combine the three?"I nodded, "Yes. Scope the place out to make sure that's where they're being held, and see how many of their men you are up against. Once you have that knowledge you can go in. But, instead of just rushing in there, send Barney to the bosses to discuss negotiations, that way
Captive Affair Chapter 101
•KINLEY•I tapped my nails on the steering wheel impatiently while I waited for Barney's signal.I was parked across from the diner and he was sitting at the window seat so I could see him clearly.The plan was that he would signal me when I should go over to Luca and Gianni who were blending in with the passers-by outside of the building where they believed their men to be.Luca had driven the van there with Gianni, but Gianni would be leaving with me, while Luca took most of the men and got to safety.I had my phone on my lap, the speaker loud with Gianni on the other end, waiting for the go-ahead to go in."Has he not arrived?""No. Barney is still alone.""They're late."I glanced down briefly at the watch on my wrist, "I know. There's no sign of anyone mafia looking around either." Just as the words left my mouth I noticed an SUV type of vehicle pull up at the corner.I frowned, not hearing anything Gianni was saying, trying to figure out why they were stopping so far down."Shit
