THE MAFIA’S CAPTIVE ANGEL

It’s been a week since the family dinner, and Sin has been AWOL. always disappearing every single time I set my eyes on him. He wakes up before me and comes back after I have gone to sleep. I didn’t know what to think about it and thought of confronting him, but all he said was, “I need you to follow me somewhere this evening; dress formally before leaving the room.”

I didn’t want to think much about his secretive behaviour, but that didn’t stop my mind from running wild. Was it because I had gained weight and didn’t look as sexy as I did for him?

Sighed.!

I got up from the bed to get ready. I walked to the bathroom, turned on the shower, and immediately hopped in. I had an hour and thirty minutes to get ready.

I walked back inside the room once I was done showering, drying off my hair and body. I walked into the closet to look for a dress, shoes, and other necessities, keeping them safe on the bed, before taking my seat in front of the mirror to have my makeup done. I did a very light make-up-a little bit of powder, mascara, and nude lipstick. I wasn’t a fan of heavy makeup; I always loved simple, natural makeup. As for my hair, it was already dried. So I left it down, curling the tip.

After my hair and makeup were done, I assessed myself in the mirror one more time and then stood up, picking up the blue Curtail dress and putting it on. I put on silver stilettos and a silver necklace and earrings, which made me look sophisticated. natural but still elegant. I looked at myself in the mirror, my head raised in admiration.

I was already done getting ready when my phone pinged. I picked it up to see that it was Sin telling me to meet him outside. I put my phone in my mini bag before walking out of the room and out of the house to where Sin was.

“Amore,” he said, kissing my cheek.

“Hi. ”

“You look breath-taking.” He compliments me, and I blush, letting out a quick thank you and complimenting him as well.

We got into the back seat of the car, with a driver at the front. The car started, driving away from the mansion.

“Where are we going?” I asked.

“Vipera, I made dinner reservations for the two of us.” He smiled, holding my hand as the car continued to move, heading in our direction.

We got to our destination in no time. Sin got out to open the car door for me. I took his hand in mine, and we walked into a fancy-looking restaurant. A woman who appeared to be the manager bowed nervously when she saw Sin and I.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Mr. Violenta, it’s a pleasure to have you here.” She mumbled, getting just a head nod from Sin. She gulped before speaking. The room is ready. “Right this way, please,” she gestured with her hands for us to follow, leading us into an elevator.

She pressed the last button, standing at the far end of the elevator. The door pings and is opened. We all stepped out into a corridor with a different set of doors. I’m guessing this is the VIP section. She stopped at the last door, opening it before ushering us in.

The room was beautifully arranged.

At the middle was a table with a beautiful red tablecloth and only two chairs opposite each other. There were flowers and candles surrounding it.

But what caught my attention was the transparent glass surrounding the room, making it possible for anyone to see what was going on outside. It was dark outside with the streetlights on, enhancing the beauty of the room.

Sin pulled out a chair for me, and I smiled, thanking him as I took my seat. He walked over to his seat. “I will leave you lovely couple to it; a waiter will be assigned to the room; he is going to be in charge of everything you need.” The manager said

“Thank you.” I say this to her as she bows and leaves the room.

It wasn’t long after we heard a knock at the door before it opened and a man in a waiter’s uniform walked in. He had in his hands a bottle of wine and two sets of glass cups.

“Good evening. I’m Joshua, and I will be your waiter for the evening.” He smiled as he greeted us.

“There are menus for you already on the table; you just need to press the bell at the centre of the table when you are ready to order,” he says after pouring out the wine, while mine was a glass of juice. He put the bottle back on the ice bucket and left the room.

“So what do you think?” Sin asked.

“I love it. I like how quiet and private it is, and also the view is great,” I said with a smile, as did Sin’s.

We took a sip of our drink, and a smile stretched my lips as I looked outside the windows. I opened the menu, looking at the different Italian dishes, some of which I was familiar with and others I had no idea about. I was conflicted and didn’t know which to choose, so I left the decision to Sin.

He clicked on the button at the center of the table, and the waiter knocked before entering. Sin told him our choices, ordering the same food for both of us.

It took up to thirty minutes before Joshua came back inside with our food, and we thanked him as he made his way out. I looked at the food in front of me, a bistecca fiorentina. I cut a piece of steak, put it in my mouth, and almost moaned out loud at how delicious it tasted.

“Do you like the food?” Sin asked, taking a bite from his plate.

“I do; it tastes really great,” I answered, stuffing another piece of steak into my mouth. We continued eating, and in no time we were done with our food. We sat there talking about a lot of things, including the baby. I wanted to know if Sin knew about Samantha and Alexander being together, so I decided to ask him.

“Alexander seems to fancy Samantha.” I say this to him, trying to see what his take is on his brother following Samantha.

He smiled, then nodded. “I know. He told me about his feelings and wanted to know if I was okay with him dating one of my men, seeing as she was part of the Mafia.”

“What did you say to him?” I asked curiously.

He shrugged his shoulders before replying. “That I had no problem with him seeing Sam; I’m just happy that he finally found someone he cares for.”

I squealed. “Those two look good together. They make a perfect couple.”

He chuckled, and then I remembered the way he acted this week. ” I thought I had done something wrong. I thought you were angry at me because you always leave early and come back late. You won’t even spend time with me.”

“I was not angry at you, amore; I had to take care of some things,” he said, getting a little frustrated. “I need to tell you something.”

“What is it?”

He sighed, looking nervous. ” after the incident between you and Jason, I had been so angry that I wanted to hurt you the same way I did. And I’m not proud of it, I let the anger cloud my mind, making me male foolish mistake. One that had to do with me cheating on you.”

When he said those words, I couldn’t help but feel a stab in my heart. No matter how hard I tried to justify his anger, it still hurt .

Irrespective of everything, I didn’t want there to be a strain in our relationship, and i knew if he had been sound in mind, he would never have done that to me.

” Who is it?, was it Luna .”

” The heavens no.” I felt relieve a bit. ” it had been an old acquaintance of mine, which isn’t still an excuse.” I saw the shame and regret In his eyes, making me sigh.

” I forgive you….”

” amore…. what I did….”

” I just want to forget about it all. Like you said, you were hurt, and wanted to hurt me back by sleeping with some whore, because you thought I slept with Jason. I do understand and I would like to put it behind us, honestly.” I told him, with a smile on my face.

Sin lets out a sigh, wetting his lips nervously. And i wondered if he had anything else to say. “I know the way things started for the both of us and how I took you against your will, taking you away from your friends, family, and career. I pushed you into a world you had no idea about, hurt you because I thought that was the only way I could make you mine. I believed the pictures and stories that Zoey had planned out, which resulted in you getting kidnapped and hurt. I’m the only one who is responsible for everything you had to go through this year,” all I did was stare at his eyes; I could see the emotions swimming in them. The pain, regret, guilt, and most of all, love. love for me.

“I’m sorry that I hurt you, Mani. I’m sorry that I had no better way to approach you and thought the only way was to take you against your will. I am sorry I took over your life when you had so many dreams you wanted to accomplish. I’m sorry, amore; please forgive me.” He joined both our hands together. “Give me one more chance, amore, to make it right for you and our baby.”

I didn’t realize the tears that filled my eyes till Sin used his free hand to wipe them off my face. “No crying, amore, I hate seeing tears in those beautiful eyes of yours,” he said, keeping his hand on my cheeks. Despite his words, I couldn’t stop the tears as they uncontrollably fell from my eyes.

“Do you forgive me, amore? Do you forgive this sinister for hurting you?” He pleaded. I nodded my head, staring at his eyes that laid out all his emotions bare for me to see.

He got up from his seat and came to my side, slouching down. He placed both hands on my cheeks, wiping the tears off. He looked into my eyes, his lips parted, and he uttered the one word I so desperately wanted to hear him say.

“I love you, Mani. Ti voglio bene.” I leaned forward, pressing my lips to his. He wasted no time in kissing me back. When we pulled back, I had a smile plastered across my face.

“I love you, Nikolai. Ti voglio bene,” I said, and a warm smile that captured my heart even more made its way to his face.

He looked, and I noticed he was thinking about something. He had a nervous look on his face and kept taking a deep breath. He held my hand as he spoke.

“Normani Parker, thank you for forgiving me and loving me despite everything. I want you to know that there is no one for me but you. If you were in a room filled with different women of different classes, I would still choose you because there is no one else but you. I will always choose you, this time without any doubt or hesitation,” he said, pausing for a brief moment before speaking again.

“Mani, I never thought I would ever love someone the way I love you. You made me feel again, letting go of every anger and pain I ever felt before. Whenever I see you, I can’t help but feel happiness filling me up to the point where it becomes overwhelming. In sickness, in health, and in death, I will always love you. I want to grow old with you, making love as we cuddle together. I want to taste the meals you make, even though they are completely horrible.” I laughed at the last part.

“Why don’t we make it official, amore?” Tears streamed down my face again when I saw the mighty Nikolai Violenta drop down on one knee, taking a small black box. He opened it, showing a beautiful diamond ring in front of him. A smile on his face, full without any hesitation.

I stared at the ring in awe. my hands on my mouth, trying to control the tears, knowing what was to come.

“Normani Parker, will you marry me and become Mrs. Violenta?” he finally asked. I nodded my head rapidly; my entire body was shaking to the core.

“Yes. Yes. Yes. I will marry you.” Fresh, hot tears streamed down my eyes as he took my ring finger, sliding the ring gently onto my finger. Sin stood up, pulling me up as well. He held me tightly to his arms, showering me with lots of kisses and promises.

I pressed my lips to his, kissing him like never before. “I love you.” I stared down at the ring with a huge smile on my face.

“I love you, Amore.”

“I love you, Nikolai.”

“Let’s get out of here.” As Sin suggested, the look in his eyes held promises of what’s to come later tonight, and as my breath hitched, I clenched my thighs together, trying to contain myself.

I nodded my head, agreeing since I didn’t trust my voice. Be took my hands in his, and we both made our way out of the room. My steps halted when we got close to the elevator, and Sin looked at me with a puzzled look.

“What about the food? You didn’t get the bill yet,” I said, pointing in the direction of the room.

“I own the place, bambina. So don’t worry your pretty head about it; it will be sent to me. He explained, he chuckled at my surprised reaction, and he dragged me into the elevator. He pressed the button key, waiting for it to get to the last floor.

I looked anywhere but at Sin, taking deep breaths to calm myself and erected heartbeats. The door pinged, opening, and we made our way back into the car.
