Raphael POV âI will give you one more chance Petraâ â I tell Petra while I keep my eyes on them. Tammy has been causing so many problems lately and I just need one more so I can get her gone from my life.
I can see Petra looking at Olivia and I give her hand a small squeeze.
âBossâ - Tammy says and I look at her and my eyes burn holes on her.
âWell?â â I ask her as I am starting to lose the plot.
âTammy wanted to go see Lucasâ - Petra says and I want to smile with the thought of getting rid of Tammy but I keep my straight face.
âBoss I can explainâ - Tammy says walking towards us.
âShe wanted my help to get into the restraining centreâ - Petra says now looking straight into my eyes âBoss Iâ - Tammy tried to talk but I cut her off signalling her t shut up, I am not taking any of this anymore, this girl had it coming, and I always tried to keep it civil because of Maria, I know how much she loves that girl but this was the last straw.
I let go of Oliviaâs hand to walk towards Tammy and I see her giving a couple of steps back. I walk towards her and I tower over her, I can feel her breathing is irregular, she is scared and I am loving it.
âWhy?â â I ask her drily.
âBossâ - she starts saying with a trembling voice - âI wanted to know what she has that I donâtâ â She replies and points at Olivia while she does it. I have to clench my fists to control myself as I donât touch women. But how I wish I didnât have any morals right now.
âJust stop being a bitchâ - Petra says and regretted immediately when she saw the way I looked at her.
I can see Petra looking at the floor. Good.
âShe has classâ â I answer Tammyâs question. I can see Tammy now looking at Olivia and her face is letting out all of her feelings of disgust and annoyance. She is angry and thatâs when she is dangerous.
But I canât be fucked anymore. I just want to end her, but then Maria will leave me and I canât. I need to be rational about this.
âLeaveâ â I tell her in a dry voice, Tammy obeys, leaving the kitchen without looking at any of us. And then I turn to Petra - âgo get your husband and Maria, tell them to meet me in my office in 30 minâ â I tell her and she leaves the kitchen after giving me a small almost invisible nod. I see Olivia smiling at her shyly. So I turn to her and decide to make this light, she has been gone through so much that I donât want her to feel bad again. I donât want her to be scared ever again. I will always try and make it better for her.
âSo what do you want to eat?â â I ask her while I look into the fridge and take a water bottle out.
âAre we not talking about this?â â Olivia asks me âThereâs nothing to talk about babeâ â I tell her giving a soft and warm smile.
âRaphael, Tammy wants t see my kidnapper, what the fuck is she thinking?â
âI will sort it out in a few minutes, now what do you want to eat?â â I ask her again trying to be as polite as I possibly can.
âAnything, whatever youâre havingâ â she says taking a seat on the stool near the kitchen island.
I look into the fridge again â âTurkey sandwich okay?â â I ask her âYeah sureâ
âDo you want anything to drink?â
âMaybe a soda?â â she asks me and I grab her a can from the fridge passing it to her. I can see her hands are trembling when she picks up the can. So I walk towards her and I embrace her. I can feel her head now resting on my chest and her hands wrapped around my waist.
âEverything will be okayâ â I tell her and I can feel her nodding âI am hungryâ â she says and I canât control the smile that pops into my face. I look down towards her and kiss the top of the head.
âYou need to let go of me so I can give you foodâ â I tell her with a playful voice Olivia letâs go of me and I walk towards the fridge grabbing some bread, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, turkey and mayo.
I make her a sandwich and one for me. After I finish eating she still has half of her sandwich on her plate.
âI need to goâ â I tell her âCan I go?â â she asks me âSorry Loveâ â I tell her and I can see her face dropping â âI wonât be longâ â I tell her âI donât want to be aloneâ
âMichael will be here in a minâ
âHow do you know?â
âI have a feelingâ â I tell her, I donât want her to know that I texted him just a few seconds ago. As if by magic I see Michael walking into the kitchen wearing only his sweat pants and a t-shirt.
âHey want to hit the gym?â â He asks Olivia and I can see her shaking her head no I start walking away when I hear her talking to Michael, her voice is sad and it is breaking my heart â âIf you ever see me in a gym thereâs something seriously wrong with meâ â she tells him and I want to laugh but I need to go.
I walk towards my office and when I walk in I can see Petra sitting next to Joseph holding his hand, she looks pale and I can see Maria sitting on the other chair with a worried face.
âThank you for meeting meâ â I say planting a soft kiss on the top of Mariaâs head.
âRaphael, whatever she Did I am sorryâ â Maria says âYou shouldnât be held responsible for what that bitch doesâ â Petra says and Maria gives her a dirty look.
âDonât make it worseâ â Joseph says and I nod my head while I take a seat on my chair now facing the three of them.
âWhat are you going to do with her?â â Maria asks âI am not killing her if thatâs what you want to knowâ â I tell Maria and I see her taking a deep breath â
âOnly because I respect you too muchâ â I tell her âThank you sonâ â she says âWhat are you going to do?â â Joseph asks âMaria, I am sorry but Tammy is no longer my responsibility, she needs to leaveâ â I tell Maria and she looks at the floor nodding her head â âShe has been causing too many problems lately and today was the last straw, I canât protect her anymore, and I canât let her bully Olivia anymoreâ
âI knowâ â Maria says âHave you talked to her?â â I ask âI haveâ â Maria says âAnd? What did she have to say to defend herself?â
âShe made it believe as if she was innocent, you know how that girl isâ â Maria takes a deep breath and continues â âShe was saying that it is a conspiracy against her since Olivia arrived, I know she is lyingâ
â Maria says âYes she is, did she say anything about Scott?â
âShe said she just wanted to ask him what he ever saw in her, why to go through all of that for Oliviaâ
I nod my head and cross my legs resting my back against the chair.
âThe thing is, it was all to affect me, had nothing to do with Olivia, she was the means to an endâ â I tell Maria and her eyes widen.
âI am sorry Raphâ â Maria says âJosephâ â I say looking at him and I can see his eyes on me âBoss?â
âI want her out of here in one hour, get it sorted, drop her off wherever she wants, just make sure she doesnât know where we areâ â I say âSureâ
âPetraâ â I say now looking at her âYes?â â she says liting her eyes meeting mine âI need you to keep Olivia some company, we have a business to attend to soon, and I will be leaving in a couple of hoursâ
âNo problemâ â she says with a smile âMaria, go say goodbye to your daughter and make sure to tell her what she did wrong and that if she ever crosses my path or Oliviaâs again I will not hesitate to put a bullet in the middle of her eyesâ
âI willâ â Maria says standing up and walking towards the door âYou go, Love, I will be right outâ- Joseph says to Petra and I see her giving him a soft peck on the lips and she walks out âIs everything ready?â â I ask Joseph âAlmost, we will be in about half an hourâ â he says âGoodâ â I stand up and walk out of the office. I walk to my bedroom and I walk into the bathroom to have a shower. I would much rather have a shower with Olivia but I can't have the distraction right now.
I have received an emailed with the location of the brits so we will attack today, everything is ready they just need me. I shouldnât be going as I am still healing but fuck that, This is my mafia, my territory, my country I will go and I will destroy everything theyâve got. I want them to die a horrible death.
I finish my shower and I walk into the dressing room, I dress all in black with my leather jacket and I grab my gun.
âHey girl, I missed youâ â I say looking at it and making sure everything is okay, and as usual I place it in the back of my jeans.
When I finish I walk out looking for Olivia to find her in the kitchen talking to Maria. They are hugging and I walk in when both of them look at me I smile.
Hi everyone, I know I repeated a few paragraphs from the last chapter but was needed for his POV.
I hope you enjoyed it.
Stay safe Love Peyton
