Kidnapped by the Mafia novel Chapter 19

"Are all of these members the ones under the oath?"

He shook his head in response.

"Many of them are love but not all, those that make eye contact with either of us are not under oath yet."

My mouth formed an 'O' shape as I understood why many of them didn't even turn to me.

"Is my trainer nice?"

I questioned again, this time a little louder. A blank look masked his face as he spoke up in a voice filled with authority.

"He better be."

I hummed in response, not wanting him to go completely blank on me. I snuggled closer to his side as we walked, his arm tightening around my waist as we passed by the corridor holding the poor girls who suffered at the hands of his father.

Severus pushed open a door and we walked in. In the middle, on a circular huge mat, stood a male with his back turned to me. Black hair in a messy puff on his head, wearing a white t-shirt and a pair of black joggers.

Severus cleared his throat and the male whipped around, green eyes meeting mine as my smile turned to a frown and my excitement shimmered down. I turned to Severus and whispered in a low voice.

"Why him?"

Severus chuckled, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear before replying.

"He's the only one I can leave you with, knowing that he won't hurt you."

I turned my speculating gaze to Edward as he gave me an offended look, I clearly hadn't been quiet enough for him to not catch it.

"What if she tempts me to?"

Edward questioned as Severus rolled his eyes, turning his attention to his brother.

"Then you better know what's good for you."

They maintained eye contact for a while, it felt like an intense staring contest was going down. Edward was the first to blink and groaned as he did so, a satisfied look crossed Severus's features, bringing a smile to my face as Edward gave a defeated sigh.

"fine. But do you expect her to learn in that?"

"Do you expect her to change for you?"

Severus was quick to respond as I glanced down to my dress in confusion, what was so wrong with it?

"She's probably wearing a corset under that thing as well and how can you expect her to learn kicking with a gown on?"

"Because that's what she wears more than half of the time."

Severus responded quickly as Edward glared at the ceiling, it looked like another staring contest was going to start but Severus sighed before it could.

"Fine. Shane!"

A man walked in from outside the door, I recognized him to be the guard who assisted me on my very first tour of this place. His hand fisted on top of his heart as he dipped his head in a greeting. Doing the same for me when he noticed me.

"Assist Donna to the room and back, it should take only fifteen minutes. Love?"

I turned to him as he called for my attention.

I muttered happily to myself and Severus turned around slowly, his eyes raked me from head to toe before narrowing on the tank top. I looked down at it to see if something was wrong but I didn't find anything.

"Is everything okay?"

I questioned as he nodded his head slowly.

"A dress shirt would be better, don't you think?"

I shook my head as a no in response.

"It'll get stuck to me if I sweat."

He released a sigh and nodded in understanding before pulling me close and kissing me on the lips.

"Be careful okay? and if he does anything stupid, says anything mean or hurts you, come to me immediately."

I smiled, wrapping my arms around his neck and smiling up at him.

"Okay."

As we stepped out, Edward threw us a look that was almost accusatory.

"Let's get to training, we're late enough as it is."

I nodded as my eyes met his and he narrowed them suspiciously. Severus took his leave soon after and then, the training began.
