THE MAFIA’S CAPTIVE ANGEL

I was awakened again when I felt the cool breeze on my skin. I opened my eyes slowly, and the first thing that caught my eye was Sin. He looked forward, walking. His hands wrapped around me, and my head was on his chest. I shiver a little when the cool breeze brushes me, and my hand, in its own accord, immediately clutches his shirt, squeezing closer to his warmth.

Sin looked down, a strain of hair falling down his face, his eyes staring at me, his pace slow, before looking back up and speeding forward.

I craned my neck to the other side to see Luca walking in front with no sign of Mateo.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Where are Mateo and Zoey?” I asked. Sin didn’t bother replying, as he kept on walking. “Where are Mateo and Zoey, Nikolai?” I asked again; my voice was irritated.

“Luca is with Zoey, so go back to sleep, Amore,” he said softly.

“And Mateo, what about him?” Is he okay? Did something bad happen to him when I slept off?” I asked, this time worried that something bad must have happened to him.

Sin let out a sigh, clearly frustrated at my will not to give up. “He is doing fine; you saved him. So don’t worry about anything and just go to sleep.”

The breeze became cold, making Sin pull me closer to his body and walk faster than before. His sleek black car came into view when we approached the lonely road. One of his men opened the door, and Sin slipped in with me, but Luca took a different car, and I watched from the window as he gently placed Zoey in the front seat of the car before getting into the driver’s seat.

“Go to sleep.” Sin said it again, staring down at me on his lap.

“But I’m not sleepy.” I whined. He hummed in response and pulled me into his body.

Wrapping my arms around his neck, I placed my head in the crook of his neck. I felt safe in his arms. Sin relaxed above me, and I felt him kiss my head.

The car stops in front of a warehouse, with huge, scary men surrounding the premises. They bow to Sin, whose hand holds mine, and we walk in.

Taking the stairs, we reached the second floor, which had rooms. Zoey was placed in the other room. Sin unlocked the last door and motioned for me to get inside.

“Stay here. Don’t open the door unless it’s me or Luca,” Sin ordered. “I have my men watching around the building,” he said, making an attempt to leave, but I held tightly onto his shirt, holding him back.

“Were there any casualties?” I asked, praying for him to say no.

“Two of my men are in the hospital,” he stated, “and I lost three, Victoria included.”

“What… Victoria is dead.” I stuttered out, shocked.

“Yes, amore. She had been shot in the chest and didn’t make it.” I wasn’t sure how to feel about this information.

Victoria and I might not have been the best of friends, but I would have never wished her such tragedy. Hearing about her death made my heart clench tightly.

“I need to go now, amore.”

” Okay. Please be safe.” He took a step inside and pulled me by my neck before placing his lips on mine for a short kiss. He then turned around and started walking away with Luca in the same direction we came from. I locked the door and walked to the couch, sitting on it with my head down, still trying to wrap my head around the news about Victoria.
