The Mob Boss’s Girl Chapter Fifty-Six
I can’t control my emotions no matter how hard I try. I stare at the bandage on my arm as another sob bubbles in my throat. I wish I could close my eyes and will all of this to go away. I wish that this was a nightmare that I could wake from, like the one I had of Mary standing at my door holding a knife and lunging at me. God, that felt so real. And what happened at the party was the same, only I couldn’t see her face as clearly because of the black veil. I shudder just thinking about it. My head pounds as I try to recall what happened at the engagement party. I remember how my heart stopped when I saw her. That’s something I won’t ever forget. Seeing her standing there with that black dress will forever be engraved in my memory, and I won’t forget it until the day I die. The worst part is that I’ll also have a scar to remind me of what happened; of how bad things got. I have no doubt that this stab wound will scar. I can’t believe Mary tried to stab me. Thinking about it makes m
The Mob Boss’s Girl Chapter Fifty-Seven
When I wake up, the room is empty and I have no idea what the time is. I rub my sore and gritty eyes. I can feel how swollen they are from all the crying I did. It's the least of my worries. Everything is hitting me harder than ever right now. My heart pounds in my chest when I look at my bandaged arm which is feeling heavy and sore now. I think I need more painkillers, but I don't want to call for a nurse. I want some time to myself so I can process all of this. It's nearly impossible, but I have to manage. Constance is asleep on the chair in the corner of the room. Seeing her pinches my soul. I'm glad she's here but at the same time, it's yet another reminder of how my family failed me. That they did. All of them. Even dad, who allegedly meant well. I lost a lot tonight, and my family is one of those things. Sure, maybe a few years down the line we might act like nothing ever happened. I might visit them or call them during the holidays, but my love for them is gone. All that's l
The Mob Boss’s Girl Chapter Fifty-Eight
Luca Tonight was undoubtedly the worst of my entire fucking existence and I've been through some heavy shit before. This one tops all the others, though. I never once thought that things could get this bad. When Laura refused to let me touch her at the party, I felt my soul—or whatever is left of it—shatter. I couldn’t believe it. I felt that I had lost the woman I loved, the woman that made me feel like I could leave my past and my demons behind me. I watched her friends take her away from me and I was helpless. I couldn’t stop them. I had to let her go. It was the most painful thing that I had to do. I couldn’t make sure that she was going to be taken to a hospital and that she would be treated. Someone else would have to do it for me because she refused to even look at me. I stared at the floor. Her blood was on the tiles. The bloody knife was just lying there. Mocking me. It was proof that I had failed to protect Laura. I let her crazy sister harm her under my own fucking roof.
The Mob Boss’s Girl Chapter Fifty-Nine
I'm discharged in the morning. I wish I could stay at the hospital for longer, because if that was the case then I wouldn't have been forced to make an important decision so early in the morning. Luca offered to take me in because of the situation with my parents. He also said that it wasn't safe for me to stay there with Mary running loose. So much had happened that it never crossed our minds to contact the police and file a report. She should have been arrested for what she did. She tried to kill me. She would most certainly try again because she told me that she would. Luca was so in shock that he didn't think to tell his bodyguard to keep an eye on Mary. Apparently, she ran as soon as she could. It's not that the guy tried to stop her. He didn't know what to do. He knew she was my sister and didn't know how to go about things. So, nobody knew where Mary was. Once again. She was hiding somewhere and making diabolical plans to murder me. My life was in danger. Luca said I'd be sa
The Mob Boss’s Girl Chapter Sixty
I wake up at around noon to a knock on my door. I know it's Constance. She's the only one who would check up on me at this time. I roll out of bed with a groan and make my way to the door. I try not to fall as I reach the door. I got up too quickly. I unlock the door. She smiles at me and gestures at the tray she's carrying. It has always astounded me how she manages to keep a smile on her face regardless of the situation. It cheers me up a little. Her happiness has always been contagious. "I brought you some soup and your pain medication. How's that arm?""Sore," I admit. "I'll take care of it while your soup cools a little, and then you can eat it. It'll do you good. I'm glad you managed to sleep for so many hours.""Have you heard any news about her?" I ask. I can't bear to say her name anymore. It leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. "Unfortunately, no," she answers. "Your father has men looking all over for her, but it isn't easy. She was always smart, and so hiding is no big
The Mob Boss’s Girl Chapter Sixty-One
Luca I think about calling Laura but decide against it in the last minute. She's probably resting. What she went through wasn't easy, and to make things worse she still ended up being stabbed. I can't get over that. I can't unsee all the blood, and the knife slicing her arm. I was helpless and only stared. I let her sister hurt her. I can't move past this. I don't think I'll forgive myself for not acting quicker. Things with the family are worse than ever. Miguel left; he's disappointed in all of us. I won't say that I don't understand what he's going through. I'd be hurt too if I were in his position. What we did with him was unacceptable and I only wish that we had done things differently. But I can't change the past. I had a meeting in the morning and not having Miguel there took a toll on me. He never contributed much to our discussions, but knowing he was there was a comfort. It was having someone who was blood by my side. Today, I didn't have his support, and I felt his abse
The Mob Boss’s Girl Chapter Sixty-Two
I was incredibly relieved when Luca called me. I was dying to hear his voice and now that we're together, I feel whole again. I was getting tired of staying home where everything reminded me of Mary. I'm surprised by how natural things seem with Luca. Mary tried to ruin this, but she didn't succeed. I don't feel like Luca was to blame for what happened. If anything, Eliza should have known better and I stand on this hill. It isn't because I love him. Anyone would feel this way if they heard his side of the story. He glances at me and puts his hand on my thigh. "You're distracted. Is everything alright at home? Any news on your sister?"I shake my head. "My parents don't want to involve the police so they hired a private investigator to look for her. There's been no sign of her. It's like she vanished into thin air. There's still time, though."He nods. "We might have to do the same with Miguel, but I think that all we have to do is give him time. This isn't a situation with an eas
The Mob Boss’s Girl Chapter Sixty-Three
I close the door behind me with a soft click. I didn't mean to get home this late, but Luca kept distracting me in hopes that I'd accept his offer and spend the night with him. The only reason why I didn't was because I truly hadn't told my parents about it. I don't want them to feel like I'm disrespecting them. Yes, Luca and I are engaged, but I'm still living with them. And while I'm living with them, I owe them an explanation. I have to inform them about my whereabouts, especially during these uncertain times that have everyone worrying. I start to tiptoe toward the stairs, but a light in the living room turns on and I know that I've been caught. I feel like a teenager again, sneaking out to meet with my friends. I don't even have to turn around to know that it's my mother. "I'm sorry," I start to say. "I was with Luca. We lost track of time.""I don't mind that," she says. "You're an adult. You can spend time with whoever you please. I do wish you had told me where you were go
