The Mafia’s Seductress

Isadora’s POV

I ran all over the house looking for the boys. I finally get to the gym and see them all working out.

“Whoa Isa! What’s wrong?” Alie asked putting down his weights.

“Gear up! Rodrigo’s men took Josie and shot Cass!” I screamed with what little breath I had left. They all just nod and walk out. I go to the kitchen and see Gabriella and Nessa yelling at Cass while they stitch his arm.

“Why are you not at a hospital”

“I hate hospitals. I dont need to go for just being shot in the arm.” Cass said wincing when Gabriella smacks the back of his head.

“You’re lucky I know how to stitch a wound or you would have bled out by now.” She glared at him. I see Emiliano, Rafael and the boys all stocking their guns and ammo. Iwalk over to Ratael and turn him to face me.

“I need a vest.”

“You’re not going.” He said turning back around and continued loading his gun.

“Yes I am.”

“No, you’re not.” He growled.

“That is my best friend who is in this shit because of me! If it weren’t for her, we never would have met!” I yelled and grabbed his face, making him look at me. “If you try to stop me, you wil not be happy for the next few months. Maybe longer. I am going to help get my best friend back. End.. of… discussion.” I peck his cheek. He lets out a frustrated sigh.

“Fine, but you will stay by my side at all times.” He grabs my chin hard. “Do you understand me?”

“The text said ..”

“i don’t give a shit what the text said Isa! You are pregnant with my child! I will not have you risking your life or our baby’s! I will get Josie back, I promise, but if you insist on going you will stay by my fucking side! Now, do you understand me?” He asked again. I sigh and nod.

“Never seen mommy and daddy fight before.” Alfie giggled. I whipped my head in his direction and glared at him.

“Open your mouth again Alfie and Iwill kick your ass!” I sneer at him. “Yes ma’am.” He said looking at the floor.

-On The Plane-

I know he doesn’t want me on this mission, but that’s just too bad. This is my best friend we’re talking about! I owe her my life and r’l be damned if when in her time of need, I’m gonna sit back and not do anything. I look over at Rafael and he is seething mad, staring out the window. I walk over and sit in his lap, facing him.

“Talk to me.” He ignores me.

“I know you’re mad but ..”

“Isa, stop.” For a moment my body went cold.

“Yes, I’m mad. I’m mad because you want to put your life in danger yet again. But it’s not just your life now, it’s also our child’s life. I don’t know how else to get this through your head. If anything happens to you ..” He stopped. “I can’t and will not live my life without you damnit. You are the only thing that keeps me from snapping and going completely insane. I would lose my shit if I lost you or our baby. I would go on a killing spree , And pray that someone would have the guts to kill me afterwards. That is how much control you have over me Isa. Nothing I do anymore is without the thought of you and how you might feel. That is why I’m mad. I know she’s your best friend. I get that, but did you ever stop to think how I feel about you going? Did you forget that I love you and that you’re carrying our unborn child? If things goes wrong and something happens to our baby, you would never forgive yourself. and I would never forgive myself for not putting my foot down and stopping you.”

He’s right. I was only thinking about getting my best friend back. When I heard she was taken, everything faded and I was only concerned about getting her back safely. I’m a terrible person. I completely ignored the fact that I was putting my child’s life in danger. I sat back, putting my face in my hands, I cried. He lets out a sharp breath and grabs my face.

“Look at me.” He said calmly. I shook my head. I’m too ashamed of myself to face him.

“Damnit kitten I said look at me.” His voice more stern. I take my hands away from my face and look at him. He wipes my tears away with his thumbs and kisses me gently.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I love you. Probably more than what is considered normal for other people. I couldn’t and stil can’t see a single day of my life without you in it, from the moment I saw you. I can’t go through seeing you get hurt again. I almost killed an entire hospital full of innocent people just because they took you from my arms. Now do you understand why I am upset?” I nodded.

“I’m sorry Rafael. I just .. I just can’t sit back and not try to help save my best friend. I get that I was stupid for not thinking about you or our baby, but Josie took me off the streets. Gave me a home, saved my life countless times and she has never once given up on me. I felt like if I stayed behind I would be giving up on her when she needs me most. Ilove you Rafael, but I love her too, and I am not giving up on her.” He kissed me again and I felt every emotion he was feeling. Anger, frustration, sadness

“You stay by my side no matter what. Do you understand? You do not leave my sight. I dont care what that text message said, you will stay within arms length of me at all times.” Inod and kiss him.
