CHAPTER FORTY THREE
“I told you to let me handle this, j don’t want you to get hurt because of me”I cried bitterly as I covered the wound with plaster, Thankfully, it wasn’t that severe, And he didn’t bleed too much before we got home.
I was crying bitterly as I treat the wound, Suddenly, he held my hand and turned to me, Cupping my cheeks, He sent the other hand under my dress and roam his hand around.
“I’m fine, I told you already that I’m fine, I will do everything to protect you from Chris”He assured softly and I nodded cleaning my tears.
“I never wanted to work here too, I was sold to Romano, I became too loyal to him that I was able to pass his loyalty test, I never want this for my self, It’s juts so frustrating”I sobbed, He hugged me and made me wrap my shaking hand around his neck.
“Take a deep breath and assure yourself that you will be fine, This is our last mission, We don’t want this for ourselves too, I promise, We will look for Carmen’s daughter and hand her over to Romano, Then we can go to somewhere private and live our own life”
“Since when have you been thinking of this?”I flicked him playfully and he scoffed.
“Ever since I set my eyes on you”He sneered and I flinched.
“But…, It’s been twelve years already?”
“Yes, I don’t know how to tell you, I’m into you, Nancy”He coaxed and kissed me carefully.
ALESSIA POV
After Nancy left the house, I received an urgent call from my place of work to stand in for one of the workers.
I was so tired earlier but I have no choice than to stand in for her.
Getting to the restaurant, It was quite rowdy and busy, I changed into my waiter’s clothe and started taking orders.
Shortly, Some men arrived into the restaurant, They were dressed in black and put on their black shades but removed it the moment they arrived into the restaurant.
I recognized them immediately, The strange man who came the other day to have tea.
I gulped down nothing as he walked towards me.
“Hey, Hermosa”He flattered in a sweet tone and I bit the inside of my lips. My guts is telling me this won’t end well, He can be so desperate and dangerous too.
“Hi, You want to place an order?”I asked trying to avoid his stare but I stopped the moment I felt his large hands on my cheeks.
I flinched back from his touch and he chuckled. “You’re scated of me?, Oh, stop it and stop acting like you’re innocent”He waved his hands jokingly and I scoffed.
“I never said I’m innocent, I just don’t want to have anything to do with someone like you”I sneers.
“Ohh, finee, can’t believe I’m scared already, Give us the normal order, The one you prepared the last night, it’s cold outisde, A warm tea and a beautiful woman will cure something like this”He said shamelessly.
“You’re so gross”I grimaced and watch him walk away.
After serving the four of them the tea, He walked away to speak with the manager of the restaurant, They stare at me some few times and I became uncomfortable.
I called Enea quickly and luckily, He picked the call. “Hey babe”He coaxed and I nodded as if he could see me.
“Can you come over to my place of work, I want you to come pick me up”
“Ohh, sure, Give me few minutes”He agrees immediately, I dropped the call and take a deep sigh.
This isn’t right, Something is definitely not right.
