A Mafia Man's Chains

part 14

"Now what are we all talking about, hmm?" Danilo had a gun to my uncles head while glaring at me. "Mr Rodriguez! What a pleasant surprise.. I was just talking to my niece." He put on a fake smile while turning to face Danilo. My uncle was a short tubby man. Therfore being alot shorter then Danilo.

My whole family was quite short, my uncle 5 7, I'm 5 3 which was quite tall fir the girls. The tallest boy is 5 8.

"Well I'd appreciate if you didn't make a deal then go against it, Hayes." My fiancé hissed through his teeth. "I've welcomed you into my home for your safety and you go and betray me. Sleep with one eye open. Do you understand me?!" My fiancé Roarsd as my uncle frantically nodded and scrambled off back into the dining room.

Danilo simply glared at me before walking back into the dining room. He knew I said I wanted to leave...

I followed him into the dining room and tried to grab his arm but he ripped it from my grip while storming off and sitting down. There was an uncomfortable silence the rest of the meal.

I sat on the sofa watching my favourite movie, Mamma Mia. When I felt someone's presence. I looked to the doorway and saw Danilo watching me. He sighed and took a seat next to me. "The deals off. You can leave." His voice was stone cold. He hated me. But I didn't hate him. I just miss my family and friends, hence why I want to go home.

"What? You want me gone?" I was shocked by his words. He had no emotion but anger in his voice.
"Well you don't want to be here. Plus my father over heard your uncle ob the phone planning an attack on us so he got rid of the deal incase we need to kill you or your uncle at some point." He scoffed at me and went to get up bit I quickly followed him.

"You want me dead because of my uncles actions?!" I yelled at him as he slammed the bedroom door shut. I heard his voice echoed through the doors. "No! I never said that!" The door swung open, "I said we might have to kill you at somepoint and by we I mean my dad! I don't want to! Very if it gets to the extreme we have to be prepared to!" My now ex fiancé hissed at me.

"But you are preparing to kill me.." tears filled my eyes as he stared at me, slowly nodding his head, "but I don't want to.. its my father's choice... not mine. Being with you has been the best time of my life. I would never willingly kill you! Why would I when I freaking like you! And that I was fucking happy to have you as my fiancé!" He screamed at me, I stared at him unsure what to do or say.

I was scared. Felt betrayed. Distraught... I felt tears rolling down my tears and before I knew it I heard loud bangs. I could see Danilo was yelling but I couldn't hear him. Everything was muffled. Suddenly everything came Into focus.

"GRACE WHY ARE YOU JUST STANDING THERE?! PLEASE JUST SAY SOMETHING!!!" I studied his face as time moved slowly, he was panicking and scared. "I want to go home.." I whispered as my voice shook.

"Grace, go to the basement, okay? You hear me? Go to the basement and don't leave. I'll come get you." Danilo spoke in a hushed tone. Without even realising I had began running towards the basement. I fled down the stairs. Through multiple corridors. Finnaly making it to the basement. I sat in the corner hugging my knees, rocking back and forth.

Bombs exploded, gun shots were fired, screams could be heard. The house was slowly collapsing.

All I could think about was my Danilo...

What felt like days passed but in reality was just 6 or 7 hours. The whole house had collapsed including parts of the basement. I have nonidea where Natalia was, but I can only hope she get flew out or was at least safe for her and her child's sake.

I could hear footsteps above and lots of grunting. I didn't know who it was. I didn't know If I should start yelling. So I sat there in silence. I heard the footsteps getting closer and closer as the second passed making it clear they knew where I was. The basement door flew open.

To reveal Danilos father. He stood there with a gun in his hand and a certain eerie look in his eyes. Immediately, I stood up and backed away as far as I could. He was going to kill me. I heard more footsteps approaching. Please be Danilo. Please be Danilo. Please be Danilo. To my Dissapointment, it was Danilos mother. Fuck.

"You can't kill her. She could be useful." Confusion ran through my body. Useful? "And your son likes her, it's clear. Aswell as your daughter just in a different way." She continued. I had hit the wall with my back already.

"And that's why I have to kill her. I don't want him going soft on me." The man barked and held the gun up. I shrunk down to the floor desperately trying to cover myself with anything and everything I could. That's when I heard a gunshot and a thud. But I didn't feel any pain. I hadn't moved.

I looked forward and saw his wife holding a gun while her husband lay dead on the floor, she dropped the gun and slowly approached me. I was warey but didn't move when she crouched down next to me and cupped my face with her hands, "don't look at him. Your okay. I promise. Its me, Maria. Come on I'll get you out of here." She spoke so calmly it made me want to trust her.

She held out one hand for me to take, she helped me up and guided me out the room. My eyes were blurry from crying so much. I strained at the bright sun that shone as soon as I stepped out. Hundreds of people spread across the land. Some dead and any survivors injured and trying to get first aid.

I was pulled towards a man I managed to make out as Danilo who was quick to jump up and wrap me into his arms. Immediately I broke down crying from the build up of emotions.

"You okay? Your not hurt are you?" He panicked and pulled away from the hug to examine me and make sure I was fine. "Im fine! I'm fine! What about you? Your bleeding!" I saw the blood seeping from the left side of his stomach.

"I was stabbed but I'm fine I've already been stitched up the doctor said it may bleed a little since he only done it quickly! You sure your okay?" I nodded my head while hugging him again. We stood there for a moment just holding eachother.

"Uhm.. I have some bad news, can you sit down?" Danilo broke the silence.
