Kidnapped by the Mafia novel Chapter 37

At the same time working inconspicuously to get in contact with both my parents and the military men. Then he had to deal with revolting members, father issues and countless ambush attempts at his life.

Hearing all of the danger he put himself through to protect the both of us just boosted my ever lasting love for him.

I smiled at him as he stared at me confused.

"Everything okay love? you're crying."

Reaching out, he wiped away at the tears pulling me closer and setting me on his lap. I sniffed, pressing both our foreheads together.

"I love you."

It was a simple statement that relayed all my vulnerability at this particular moment and it managed to get me a beautiful smile from him in return.

"I love you too."

A moment of peace and silence passed between us, with me sitting on his lap, forehead pressed against his as he held my face in his hands.

"I heard someone broke into the room."

I looked at him with wide eyes, seeing the genuine concern he showed had me smiling softly.

"Yes, he nearly found us but Sally risked herself...He was hitting her a-and."

I cut myself off as I remembered the terror I had felt in that moment, terror that petrified me, held me hostage and brought tears to my eyes.

"Shhh, its okay love, you don't have to tell me."

It was his silent way of telling me that he already knew, probably from Edward, who had undeniably heard of it from Donna.

"Y-yeah?"

He hummed in response, kissing my lips lightly.

"I know the feeling baby, its petrifying. Sometimes there's a rush of power that you feel when being the one armed but the humanity in you always out weighs it. Your guilt and self conscious are eating away at all your logic and reason, the only thing you can remember is fear. And only the best of us fear having the power to control a life... because we know, life is best when unpredictable. Because even if we knew it, we couldn't have changed it."
