THE RUTHLESS

People have always told me that I was a pretty girl. They would say that I was blessed with such beautiful features. My mother is African American and my father is Italian. They got a divorce when I was 5 years old. I just sit here on my bed contemplating whether or not I should go to work. Ugh I fucking hate my job.

I get up and get into the shower. I think about college since I just graduated a couple of weeks ago. Man I miss my friends. I miss the little things about high school. Like walking through the hallways and eating in the cafeteria. I get out of the shower and dry off. I put on my work uniform and leave.

I arrive at work just in time. I'm a waitress at this very popular cafe. I stand behind the counter and take orders. I watch as teenagers walk in along with a few adults. I then notice a big group of men walking into the cafe. They walk in and sit at a booth in the corner.

I walk up to their table and take their orders. One man with dark brown hair and hazel eyes looks up at me and takes his order. "Me and the boys will have the ham and cheese sandwich with coke." I then start writing down their orders. "For all of you?" They all nod and I walk away.

Man I hate going to restaurants. I rather stay home and cook my own damn meal. I look around this cafe noticing some beautiful women. "Man this cafe is awesome! " says my little brother Lenny. "Yeah it's alright." I say playing with the silverware. Soon the waitress walks up. Man was she gorgeous. She had sandy blonde hair and light blue eyes. I couldn't stop staring. I could tell she was half black by the light complexion of her skin. My uncle Sal then ordered. I just sat there in disbelief. She then walked off and man did she have a nice ass. I don't usually go for black women but she sure did change my mind. "That waitress was beautiful." I say watching her walk back to the counter. "Yeah she sure was."said my uncle Sal

I was then snapped back to reality when she walked up with our food. "Let me help you."said my uncle helping her as she struggled with too many plates in her hands. I gaze into her eyes and say "Thank you." She looks at me, smiles and walks away. I sit there biting my lip as she walks away.

"I want her." I say out loud. My little brother, my uncle, and my cousin James smile. "Sal I want you to get her adress because we're picking her up." I say and then bite into my ham and cheese sandwich.

What a long day at work. I then begin to walk my usual route home. I love this neighborhood. It's one of those neighborhoods where your children can play outside without any criminal activity.

I start walking up my street but I have a strange feeling that someone is following me. I stop and turn around and see nobody behind me. I then began to walk faster.

I then reach my house. I was so scared out of my mind that I couldn't put my keys in the lock. My hands kept shaking! Please just be the wind! I turn around and see a man with a ski mask. I tried to scream but he put his hand over my mouth. He drags me down my front steps. I tried to fight but he was too strong. He then puts a white cloth over my mouth. I began to feel sleepy and my legs felt weak. The man then threw in me the trunk.

I don't remember what happened after that. I woke up in a hotel room. What the fuck? My hands were tied to the headboard of the bed. I feel like crying. All I want to do is go home to my mom. I began to cry hard while trying to move my hands. I hear the door open and there stands a man in all black. He has black hair and green eyes. He has a gun in his hands. I then cry harder. He then puts the gun on the dresser. He looks so familiar. He then takes a seat on the bed. Please don't hurt me just let me go.

In walks in a familiar face. He is the man that ordered at the cafe. "Untie her now! " he says staring at me. The man with green eyes unties me. I sit there shaking. I then start crying. "Shh don't cry. Were not going to hurt you. You'll be alright." After a while I stop crying. "My name is Sal and I'm going to be your uncle. " I look at him confused. "Now we are going to put you in a car so just relax and don't try anything. " he says in a calm voice. The man with green eyes picks me up and walks me to a black car. He sits me into the backseat and then starts driving.

I look out the window and all I see is a desert that goes on forever. Where the hell am I? As the car continues down the dirt road.

Those idiots better be careful with her. They told me that they just picked her up from the hotel.

I'm going to marry that woman.

She will be my wife. I start to get nervous.

What if she doesn't like me? Who am I kidding she'll love me. I am irresistible everybody loves me. I sit back down on the couch. They are going to bring her to my aunt's house so she can be ready for the wedding. I am so excited! This is my first marriage. My father would be so proud! His baby boy is getting married.

My father is out of the country. Before he left he told me I wss the new mob boss and I was going to take his place. My father raised me and my little brother after my mother died. I loved her so much. Before she died she told me to find a girl and settle down before it's too late.

The whole city is afraid of us. We are the Bonachelli's. We don't give a damn what people think. If they only knew that we are trying to protect them. The police in this town don't care. They would rather sit there then help the people. It makes me sick. I just hope that Africa sees me differently than everyone else.

We pull up to a brown house. I watch as Sal gets out of the car. He then helps me out of the car and we walk up to the front door. Sal knocks. A woman with hazel eyes and long black hair answers the door. Sal then gives a hug before she notices me standing there.

"Is this the lucky girl!" She says hugging me. "I'm Judy and you'll be staying here until the wedding. " Wedding?

She then grabs my hand and walks me through her house. "These are my two daughters Lana and Jiana." She says pointing at the girls. Lana is the oldest sister. She has short dark brown hair and green eyes. Jiana is the youngest. She has dark brown hair and brown eyes. I smile and wave at the girls.

"Well let's get you settled in." She says as we walk up the stairs. We walk down a long hallway until we reach a room. There is a big bed in the middle of the room.

"You'll be sleeping in here until you get married. " I look at her confused. "When I get married?" I say. "Yeah you're marrying Jionni." She says as she combs my hair with her fingers. "Who is Jionni?" I say. She smiles then answers my question. "He is my nephew and also you're fiancee. " she says. Fiancee? I don't even know him. "You look a little tired. Why don't you lay down and get some rest." She says.

I lay down on the bed as she walks out of the room. I'm getting married? WHAT! I lay there and cry myself to sleep.

I wake up and see Jiana standing over me. "She's awake!" She whispers. I wake up and look over to see Lana standing in the corner. "Dude don't yell in her face! " says Lana. "My mom wants you to come downstairs and eat breakfast. Today we are going dress shopping. " she says. I nod and sit up on the bed. "Why are we going dress shopping? " I ask "because you are getting married tomorrow."Jiana says

Tomorrow? I gulp. "Hurry up and get downstairs so we can eat!" Jianna says excited.

I get up and follow the girls downstairs. I see pancakes, scrambled eggs, fruits, and a pitcher of orange juice. I sit down and dig in.

"So are you excited to get married!" Says Judy. Man I almost forgot about that. " I don't know. I have no idea who Jionni is. " I say with pancakes in my mouth. "Don't worry you'll love him. " she says with a smile.

The girl is at Judy's house. They're going dress shopping today. " Uncle Sal says. I nod and take another sip out of my whiskey. She is going to look so beautiful in her dress tomorrow. Man all I want to do is see her.

"Make sure Judy gets her a veil." I say I want Africa to be surprised to see my face. I'm a handsome man. She'll be happy to see my face. I mean veils are traditional and shit.

Yesterday I had my tailor make me and my family quality suits. We have to look sharp for my big day.I picked my little brother as my best man. He has been there for me when I needed him.

"Make sure my little cousins wear proper bridesmaids dresses." I say as Sal leaves the room. The reason I say that is because both of my cousins are total sluts. My cousin Lana sleeps around and will have sex with anything that moves. My little cousin Jianna is all sweet but we all know she is a slut. I'm happy that Africa is only there until tomorrow. I don't want them to poison her with their ways.

Man I can't wait to see her. Today I had women's clothes delivered to my house. I want her to have a lot of clothes. I want her to know that she is my one and only queen. She can have whatever she wants. As long as she is loyal and a good wife.

I wonder what our children will look like. I mean they will obviously be beautiful because both me and Africa are good looking. I just want her to lay next to me and be mine.

God I want her! You can wear something of mine." Says Lana. We were both sitting in her bedroom. She was looking for some clothes in her closet. I sit on her bed and look around her bedroom. She has posters all over her wall of the new heart throbs. Her room is a dark shade of purple giving it that gloomy feeling.

"I think this will fit you." She says holding up a pair of black jeans. I grab them from her. "Oh and this will fit you also." She says holding up a white long sleeved shirt. "Is there a bathroom I can change in?" I say. Lana has her back to me as she looks for something in her closet. "Yeah it's right across the hall." I get up and walk to the bathroom.

I stand there looking in the mirror. I am still in my work uniform. I just want to go back home! A tear starts to roll down my cheek. Why am I here? This must be a mistake! I sit there crying in the mirror.

I take off my dirty work uniform and get into the shower. The warm water hits my skin and I start to cry. I miss my house and I miss my work.

I stop crying and get out of the shower. I put on the black jeans and white shirt. I stand there looking at myself. I don't feel nor look like myself! I feel the urge to cry. Don't cry and stay strong. I say in my head.

I then walk out of the bathroom and walk back into Lana's room. She is already dressed. She is wearing a black dress with lace tights. She looks up and notices me standing there.

"Wow! You look nice!" She says. I nod and sit down on her bed. She looks at me and says "Have you been crying?" She says. I look up at her and nod. "Don't cry." She says wiping a tear from my cheek. "My big cousin is good guy. He will never hurt you." She then wraps her arm around me.

"But why does he want to marry me. He doesn't even know me." I say as more tears fall. "I have no idea. If my cousin sees what he wants, he sure does get it." She says rubbing my shoulder.

Lana then hands me a tissue to wipe my tears. I wipe them away even know I still feel like crying. "Well let's get going." Lana says helping me up from my seat. We walk out to the hallway and down the stairs.

Judy and Jiana are standing there waiting. "Are you two ready?" Judy says. "Yeah." I say. Judy is wearing blue jeans with a brown t-shirt. She smiles and the reaches into her purse. Jiana is wearing a blue skirt and a black shirt.

We all get into Judy's car. Lana sat in the front seat and me and Jiana sat in the backseat. Judy starts up the car and backs out of the driveway.

We drive down the dirt road as I watch the desert turn into buildings. The dirt road then turns into pavement as we drive down the street. I wonder what city this is?

We finally stop in front of a white building. There is a big sign that reads: Jenny's Bridal Shop. We all get out of the car. I stand there looking up at the building. Lana then graps my hand as walk into the shop.

The shop has rows and rows of dresses. I look around and see different colors of bridesmaids dresses. "Well let's go look at the wedding dresses! " says Judy as she dragged me to the dresses. I have no idea what to look for. How do you shop for a wedding dress when you don't know the groom? Judy and the girls run around looking at dresses. "Try this one on!" They all say in unison. Each of them holds up a dress. I start to feel overwhelmed.

Judy then pushes me into a dressing room as each girl hands me a dress. I try on Judy's dress first. I walk out and Judy begins to cry. "You look so beautiful! " she says. I then walk up to a mirror. This dress is hideous! Ugh there are ruffles everywhere! I smile trying not to hurt Judy's feelings. "Try on my dress!" Says Jiana I then go back to the dressing room. I put on Jiana's dress. I walk out. "Now that's the one!" Jiana says. I look in the mirror. This dress is a bit... slutty! I can't even take a step without my boobs falling out. Um no! "Okay my dress." Say Lana I go back to the dressing room. I put on the dress and walk out. I step in front of the mirror. Oh my gosh! This dress is so beautiful! I can't believe that one dress could make me feel so... how do you put it HOT! I stand there smiling. "Do you like it!" Says Lana " I do!!" I say with a smile. " I love it!" says Judy I do a twirl in the mirror. "This is the one!" I say excited.

After we buy the dress we go back to Judy's houseJionni

Today is my wedding day! I am still a little tired from last night. My boys took me out for some drinks and man dod we have fun! I wonder what she will look like in her dress. I hope Judy let her decide because Judy really doesn't have good taste.

I sit on my bed thinking about my future wife. When I ssw her in that cafe I knew I had to have her. I hope we have everlasting love. Hey! For a mobster I get pretty sentimental. I can't help it I love the girl already.

I go downstairs to eat some breakfast before I get into the shower. Man! Today is going to be a good day! After I finish eating I jump into the shower. I just can't stop thinking about her. But today is the day. I just want to shout it from the roof tops. I then get out of the shower.

The boys are already at the church so all I need to grab is the wedding rings. I got a big diamond ring for my my queen. I hope she loves it. I mean. What woman doesn't love diamonds. I put on some sweatpants and a regular t-shirt. I leave the house feeling energized and excited!

I get into my car and drive down the road. I then pull up to the church and get out. I walk to the dressing rooms where the boys are at. I open the door and everybody jumps up giving me a hug. "Congratulations! " I hear as I walk to the back. "You ready son?" Asks Uncle Sal "Ready as I'll ever be!"I say "I'm proud of you!"he says giving me a pat on the back. I'm getting married!

Africa

I wake up and see the sun shining through the curtains. I going to be sick. Today I marry a guy who I don't know. I don't even know what he looks like. Ugh kill me now! I get up and walk out of the room. Judy is already walking up the stairs with a big smile on her face.

" Wedding bells are ringing! " she sings very cheerfully. Kill. Me. Please. I'll give you the weapon and everything. Judy then runs over to me and gives me a bear hug. For a small woman she is very strong. I gasp for air. I see Lana and Jiana come running up the stairs. They both have curlers in their hair. "Are you excited! " says Jiana "Yeah!" I lie. Judy then grabs my arm and we run into the bathroom. She then starts putting curlers in my hair. Kill me I'm begging you!

We get into Judy's car and drive down the road. Lana and Jiana are excited that there are going to be cute guys at the wedding. So much for staying by my side. The drive seems like hours as we finally stop in front of a church.

Lana carries my dress into the building as I walk side by side with Judy. She is really starting to get on my nerves! "Here we are." Says Judy as we walk into the room. The room is almost empty except for an old dusty green couch.

I sit down on the couch. As the girls argue over where the dress should go. Judy then stands behind me and starts taking my hair out of the curlers. The girls finally stop arguing. Jiana goes into the bathroom as Lana helps me with my make up.

When my hair and make up are done it's time for me put my dress on. I get up but I am stopped. "Before you do that you need to put on the lingerie. " Lana says. Lingerie? What? Lana gets up and hand me a plastic bag. I open the bag. There is a white lace bra and underwear set. "I have to wear these?" I say. "Well of course you do silly. It's a tradition. " Judy says. Breathe girly! I tell myself. I get up and to the bathroom. I get undressed and start to put on the lingerie. This is crazy as hell! I am finally dressed and walk out of the bathroom. "You look sexy!" Says Jiana as I try smile. Everyone is in their dresses except for me.

All three girls help me put my dress on. Judy buttons it up. Jiana helps me put on the heels and Lana helps put on the jewelry. I look in the mirror. I don't look half bad. Judy then hands me my bouquet. Today I get married..

Jionni

I look around and see that everybody is in a suit. Man. We all look sharp. "Okay everybody let's go stand at the alter!" Says Uncle Sal. Everyone files out of the dressing room and we walk to the alter. I can't wait to see my bride! As we stand here whispering to each other. Let's get this show on the road.

Africa

"The wedding is about to start! " Judy sings cheerfully. We all walk out. I feel like my stomach is going to burst! We walk down the long hallway until we reach the chapel doors. The moment of truth! I am getting married to someone who I don't know. The doors open and Jiana and Lana walk down first. "Oh I forgot." Says Judy she pulls out a long white veil. She then clips it into my hair as I am on the verge of crying. She flips the veil until it's over my face. She gives me hug. The chapel doors open and the flower girls walk down. I clutch my bouquet. Judy pushes me in front of the doors. Shoot me now!! The doors open again and it's my turn to walk down the aisle. I walk out wanting to turn back and run. I walk to my own pace as it is very hard to see. I feel a hand reach out and grab me.

I stand there holding his hands as the priest begins to talk. Uh I'm scared.

I feel him slide a ring on my finger. Now it's my turn. I slide the ring on his finger.

"I do"he says. Now my turn. I hesitate at first and say "I do. " I swallow hard. I feel him lift the veil.

I look up and see. He towered over me and he had dark brown hair and brown eyes. He reaches down and kisses. His lips are so soft.

He takes my hand and we walk down the aisle together.

We finally find the exit and walk down the church steps. We then get into a white car. I get in first and sit down. He gets in after me and pulls the door shut. He's actually not that bad looking.

We drive for what feels like hours. We don't speak a word to each other as we both sit there.

The car the stops and we both get out. We walk in holding hands. We get to a room and we both sit down. Awkward I sit there and around the room.

It was finally the reception and we still didn't speak to each other. We just sat there and ate. There's that for getting to know each other. It's finally time to go and we both walk out hand in hand. We get to the bottom of the steps and get into the white car.

We drive and drive until we pull up to an extravagant mansion. He gets out first and then he helps me get out. This time we don't hold hands as we walk up the steps. Once in the house I thought that I would have a heart attack. There was a huge chandelier in the middle of the foyer.

I follow him upstairs as we pass so many rooms. We finally stop at one room and he walks in first.

He then starts to take off his suit jacket. I guess this is are honeymoonWarning: This chapter has some sexual content and is very inappropriate. Viewer Discretion is Advised.

Jionni

Wow she looks so beautiful. We haven't said a word to each other. I wonder what she is thinking. Man. I just want to rip that dress off of her body. Man. Her ass looks nice in that dress. Ugh control yourself Jionni! I can't help but to stare at her boobs. God. Why are they so big.I just stand there staring at her.

"Um you can get undressed. I mean get comfortable. " I say staring at her ass. But who cares she's my wife. She looks at ke and nods. She walks over to the bathroom. I start to undress quickly. I first take off my tie and dress shirt then I unbuckle my belt and take off my pants.

Africa

I stand here looking around at how big this bathroom is. It's huge! I walk over to the mirror staring at myself. Now it's time to take off my dress. Deep breath. I say to myself.

I turn my back to the mirror so I can see the buttons. I unbutton the dress. I then take off the veil. I put both my wedding dress and veil on a couch behind me. Wow! A couch in the bathroom! I stand there looking in the mirror. I look at the lace lingerie. I then take off my heels.

I open the door and walk out the bathroom. He is standing by the bed.

Jionni

Wow! She looks so sexy. I look at her while I am standing in my boxers. I feel myself getting hard as I stare at her.

"Come here." I say. I watch her walk up to me. I grab her by the waist and kisd her. Her lips are so soft as I kiss her.

I start kissing her harder as we move closer to the bed. I reach down and grab her ass.

I stop and stare at her. I back up and say "Take your clothes off." I step back and watch her.

First she unclamps her bra. Man. I am getting so hard right now. Her bra is off and I stare at her boobs. They are so big! She then reaches down and starts to take off her underwear. I'm getting harder.

She stands in front of me completely nude. "Now lay on the bed! " I say

She climbs into the bed and puts the covers over her. Man. She looks so hot in that bed.

I walk over and take off my boxers. I walk over to the bed and climb on the other side of her. I reach over and began to kiss her.

I kiss her neck then move down to her chest as kiss her nipples. I hear her moan a little bit. I then start to kiss her stomach making sure I take my time.

I then start to kiss her inner thighs. I began to lick in between her legs. I hear her began to moan. I work slowly, making sure I take my time. She starts to moan louder. I know she is about to cum so I stop.

I work my way back up to where we are face to face. I then stick it in. She starts to moan and squirm. I don't stop I just keep on going. Man. She is so wet!

We are both about to climax as I feel her scratch my back. Here it goes!

I roll over exhausted. I look over and see her out of breath. I did my job right! I turn over do I can wrap my arms around her.

Man. Her eyes are so beautiful. I kiss her on her lips. We both doze off. Jionni

I wake the next morning to see Africa not lying next me. Last night was perfect! I get up out of the bed. I put on some sweatpants and walk downstairs.

I walk into the kitchen and see her making breakfast. She looks up and notices me watching her.

"Um I decided to make some breakfast before you got up." She says. I smile at her then sit down on the counter.

She continues cooking. Wow the woman can cook. She turns around and grabs two plates from the cabinet.

I watch her divide up the eggs and bacon. She then hands me my plate and sits down next to me.

Today I just want to get to know her. I watch as she takes a bite out of her eggs. Man. She makes everything so beautiful.

"So." I say awkwardly "Do you want kids?"

Africa

Wow he just gets right to the point.

I stare at him blankly. I take another bite out of my eggs and turn to him.

"Um yeah someday." I say awkwardly

He smiles then says "How many kids do you want? "

"Maybe about 3 kids." I say.

He chuckles "That's a very small number." He laughs again while getting up to put his plate in the sink.

"How is that a small number. I think it's the perfect amount." I say. Amount? That sounds so weird!

"Well how many kids do you want?" I say getting up.

"About 8. Maybe 9 kids. I want a big family." He says.

I almost choked on my food.

"Wow um? That's a lot of children!" I say trying to catch my breath.

All of a sudden a man walks into the kitchen. He has sandy blonde hair and brown eyes.

"Boss we need you!" He says to Jionni

Jionni looks angry as he walks out of the room. The man looks at me and says "Nice to meet you. I'm George." He says before leaving the room.

What the hell is going on? First we were talking about children and now he gets up and leaves.

Jionni

I run upstairs to get dressed. I grab a black dress shirt and black dress pants. I go into my drawer and grab my safe.

I type in the passcode and grab my gun.

I run downstairs and see my cousin George waiting for me. We get into my car and drive.

★★★★★★★★

We show up at an abandoned warehouse and I walk in.

I see my boys crowded around somebody.

"What's going on?" I say as I get closer.

"Our friend here doesn't have our money." Says my cousin Mike

I get closer and see Natan Newman sitting in a chair with his hands tied around his back.

He looks up at me. "Where. Is. My. Money." I say getting closer to his face.

"I don't have it! If you would give more time I could still pay you back." He cries out.

"Now see my friend. We have gave a million chances and you still don't have my money." I say lighting up my cigar.

"Please Jionni! One more chance. Please I beg of you!" He cries

I sit in front of him blowing smoke in his face.

"One more chance?" I say as Natan nods "One more chance." I repeat.

"Please Jionni just one more chance. I really want to see my daughter graduate." He says.

"Oh she's graduating too bad you won't be there." I say as I reach for my gun and shoot him the head.

"Oh my God!" I hear. I thought I heard a familiar voice.

Me and the boys look around the warehouse. That's when I see Africa in the corner.

She had her hands over her ears and she had tears in her eyes.

I stand there in shock and in total disbelief. What is she doing here!

Africa

After George and Jionni left. I got really suspicious and decided to follow them.

I get into the other car parked in the garage and wait for them to come out.

I watch as Jionni gets into the driver's seat and George in the passenger seat.

They drive off and I wait until they are out of the gate and I follow them.

They stop in front of an abandoned warehouse. George gets out of the car and looks around making sure nobody is watching.

When him and Jionni finally walk into the warehouse. I get out of my car.

I wait a few minutes before entering the warehouse.

I slide quietly against the wall before hiding behind old boxes.

I watch Jionni talks to an older man. He looks like he is in his late 50s as I see that he has grey hair.

I watch as he pleads and begs Jionni to wait. I started to get excited when I thought Jionni would give him another chance.

But I was wrong. Jionni pulls out his gun and shoots him in the head.

I screamed and held my hands to my ears. I stood up out of breath and cried. Jionni saw me and he had this shocked look on his face.

He tried to run to me but I was too fast. I ran outside to my car before I felt someone grab me.

The man lifted me up and carried me to Jionni's car. I kicked and screamed but it was no use.

The man put me in the backseat of the car.

Jionni was sitting there with a cigar in his mouth. He looked at me and then blew smoke into the air.

"How did you get here?" He said in a calm vioce. I was too scared to talk. I sat there trying to catch my breath.

He put the cigar back in his mouth and blew the smoke out of his nose.

"You know what I don't care what you want. We are going to start having kids now!" His voice was now deeper.

"Drive us home!" He said as George started the car.

We began to drive home. He turns to me and grabs my face and squeezes it. "What ever you saw never happened!" He said angrily as he pushed my face back.

I began to cry as he smoked his cigar.

I don't want to have a baby with this monster! A child shouldn't have a father who kills innocent people.

Africa

I lay here wanting to cry. Jionni is on top of me. Kill me! Please just let me die. Please God take me! I began to cry harder.

Jionni wants a son. I do want kids but not like this. I don't want my son or daughter to have a monster as a father. I want them to have two loving parents. Not a man who kills innocent people.

Jionni then climaxes and gets off of me. I lay there as I watch him put on his boxers. He walks out grabbing his robe then leaves.

Me and Jionni have not been sleeping in the same room. I sleep in the guest room while he sleeps in the master bedroom.

I roll over and try to sleep. I replay the moments in my head over and over again. It's not like it's anything new. He has been coming in my room every night since the day I saw him kill that man.

I want to pay my condolences to his daughter but I am not allowed to leave. Jionni has set these strict rules saying that I am not allowed to leave the house until I am pregnant.

I try to comfort myself by thinking about my old life. Even though I hated my job I still loved the assortment of colorful characters. There was this old man who was named Mr. Hederson and he reminded so much of my grandfather. I miss him so much.

Just close your eyes and sleep. I say to myself. Tomorrow will be a new day. But I knew that was a lie. Jionni is never going to let me leave this room. He always brings up my food and he has bought pregnancy tests just in case.

Just close your eyes. I just wish that I could just get pregnant already so this nightmare can end. I want to wake up and this will be all over.

Jionni

Ugh can she just get pregnant already. I need my son! I need to try harder!

I have been keeping her upstairs in the guest room for 3 weeks now. I also won't let her leave the house because I worried she will tell the police. Even if she did leave one of my boys would grab before she stepped foot out the door.

I still love her but she needs to hold up her end of the deal and give me a son and be good wife. Or we will have a problem.

I am downstairs drinking whisky while watching SOA. I could use Jax on my team. He's ruthless but also a family man. I want to be like that. Do my job then come home to my wife and kids.

I had this dream one night that me and Africa had all girls. That was a total nightmare. I have nothing against girls but I really want my son.

Trying to get Africa pregnant stresses me out. I keep having these dreams where we have a daughter. I want my son!

Africa

It's morning as I lay there on my bed. I feel like I am back in high school and I am contemplating getting up in the morning.

But I am not in high school I am with a man who kills. Who I don't even love.

The door opens and Jionni walks in with my breakfast. He sets it down on the dresser and turns around to look at me.

"How are you feeling?" I look around the room trying to avoid his eyes.

"I said how are you feeling?" He says angrily.

"I'm feeling fine." I say on the verge of tears. No one has ever yelled at me like that.

"That's good." He actually sounds sincere. He walks over to the bed and sits down next to me.

He puts his hand on my cheek and kisses me gently. He pushes my hair out of my face.

He gets up from my bed and begins to walk out. To my surprise he closes the door and walks back to the dresser.

My stomach starts to growl as I smell the bacon still sitting on the dresser. I want to speak up but he puts his finger to his mouth silencing me.

He then starts to take off his shirt. As I stare at his nice toned abs. He reaches down and unbuckles his belt and taking off his pants.

I gulp as he starts to take off his underwear. He walks over to the bed and says "Lay down!"

I lay on my back. I feel him taking off my underwear. He then puts it inside of me. I let the tears fall down my face.

"Please hurry up!" I cry out on accident. He stops and puts his hand over my mouth.

"Shut. The. Hell. Up." He says frustrated

I cry harder this time. Please. Why?

He takes his hand off my mouth and wraps it around my neck.

"Stop. Fucking. Crying." He says as I gasp for air.

I stop crying because I am afraid he will kill me. He takes his hand off my neck and continues.

Pretend you are not here. Pretend that this is just a dream and you will wake up in your bed at home. This will be just a dream. You will wake up pretty soon and you will be happy. I say to myself.

He finishes and gets off of me. He grabs his clothes from off of the floor and leaves the room.

I get up and run for the bathroom. I get into the shower so I could wash him off of me.

I go back to the room and eat my very cold bacon.

●●●●●●●●● 3 Weeks Later●●●●●●

Africa

Jionni comes into my room as scheduled. He brings me my breakfast and I feel the sudden urge to throw up.

He comes over to the bed and kisses me softly on the cheek. He then stands up and takes off his shirt.

The smell of the cooked bacon made me want to throw up.

Jionni walks back to the bed now naked.

I push him out of the way and run to the bathroom.

I stick my head in the toilet and throw up. I feel somebody rubbing my back. I look up to see Jionni.

"It's okay. I am going to call Dr. Sanders." He says leaving me in the bathroom.

I stick my head back in the toilet and throw up.

Jionni

OMG! I can't believe she could be pregnant! I run to the kitchen and grab the phone.

I could be a dad in a couple of months. I could really have my son and have an heir.

Hello? Says Dr. Sanders

"Yes it's me Jionni Bonachelli."

Oh yes Jionni. What do you need?

"Um I think my wife might be pregnant." I say nervously

So does she need a pregnancy test?

"Yes sir she does."

I'll be right over.

I hang up the phone and jump up and down with excitement. My son. My son.

●●●●●●30 Mins. Later●●●●●●

Dr. Sanders knocks on the door.

I jump up from my seat and run to answer the door.

"Jionni?"

"Yes sir. She is upstairs." I say pointing up the stairs. He walks up the stairs and walks to the room on the left.

Africa

"Africa?" Says a short old man with grey hair.

"Yes." I say trying to hold back the vomit in the back of my throat.

"Well let's take a pregnancy test." He says grabbing my hand.

"Jionni will you wait outside?" He says

Jionni nods and then shuts my bedroom door. The doctor grabs a pregnancy test from the cabinet.

"Well Mrs. Bonachelli will you pee on this and bring it back." I nod and walk to the bathroom.

It was so weird I have never heard anyone refer to me as Mrs. Bonachelli. I sit down and pee on the stick.

I walk back out of the bathroom and hand the test to the doctor.

"So Mrs. Bonachelli when was your last period." He say clicking his pen.

The timer goes off and the doctor grabs the test.

He gets up and walks to the door and opens it. Jionni stands there looking like a nervous wreck.

What the hell does it say got dammit! Am I pregnant or not.

I doctor holds up the test in front of Jionni and says "Congrats your wife is pregnant!"

Jionni grabs the test and jumps up and down like a little boy on Christmas.

I put my hand on my stomach and breathe a sigh of relief.

I am finally pregnant! I don't have to worry no more! Africa

Jionni still won't let me leave the room. He says that since I am in my first trimester and I always feel the urge to throw up. That I should stay upstairs because he hates the smell of throw up.

We have been on good terms ever since I got pregnant. I mean he has been nicer to me and he lets me walk around outside of my room. I am starting to hate this room. I used to love it because I felt safe from Jionni. But now I just want to leave this room.

I keep smelling cooked bacon and all I want to do is throw up. This happens all of the time especially when I smell cooked meat.

I hope that it's a girl! I say to myself but I know my reality I know that Jionni will never love her because he wants a son.

I will love this baby no matter what. It doesn't matter if he or she only has one person that loves them. I will always love them.

●●●●●●● 5 Months Pregnant●●●

Africa

I can finally leave this room! Jionni is giving me full access to the house. I can roam around and leave when I want. I finally feel free!

I run down the stairs and into the dining room to see Jionni sitting at the end of the table.

I sit down and the chef puts my food down in front of me. I watch as Jionni sits there and looks at me intently.

"Wow. You are already showing!" I look down at my baby bump. I have been showing since my fourth month of pregnancy.

"Yeah he is really in there." I say nervously. I say 'he' just to humor him and make him feel better.

"Yeah he is." He says while tapping his fingers on the table.

"Um? Today you have an appointment with Dr. Sanders. Um. He is going to do an ultrasound and check to make sure the baby is okay." He speaks a mile a minute.

"That sounds great!" I was super excited to see my baby. I wanted to see what he or she looked like.

"Also we are not finding out the sex of the baby. I want to be surprised." Surprised? Says the man who wants a son or else.

I smile and continue eating my breakfast. I guess I am just going to have to wait and see.

I finish my breakfast and excuse myself. I walk up to my room and find something to wear.

I chose to wear a white long sleeved shirt and black pants. I put my hair in a high ponytail.

I walk downstairs and get into the car. I can't wait to see what she looks like.

Jionni

Africa is gone at her doctors appointment. I wish I would have went with her. It would be so amazing to see my son.

She won't talk to me. I feel bad for what I have down to her but I just wanted my son. I want my wife to not hate me.

Africa

After my appointment I was ecstatic! Dr. Sanders says the baby looks good and he or she is the right size.

I have always wanted a family. Even when I was very young I dreamed of being married and having children. I am married and I am having a child but I am not happy. I have always wanted a happy marriage but being kidnapped and forced to marry a ruthless mob boss is not what every girl wants. I am happy that I am having this baby though.

●●●●● 8 Months Pregnant●●●●●

Africa

I am as big as a house! All I do is eat and sleep. Today Jionni is having a French designer come and design the nursery.

I keep asking myself how is she going to design a room if we don't know the sex of the baby.

I hope it's a girl. I mean Jionni will never love her but at least she will have me. I will be her mother and protect her at all costs.

I walk through the hallways as I hear the designer talking about different shades of white and grey. There are different shades of white? What?

I walk away and go downstairs since I have a weird craving for peanuts. As I walk downstairs I see Jionni sitting at his mahogany desk.

He looks so depressed and sad. I almost feel bad for him. Maybe deep down he knows that the baby is a girl.

He has been like this for months now. He shouldn't feel bad I mean he wanted me to get pregnant and have his child. I am not going to feel bad for him!

I walk down the stairs and walk past his office and go straight to the kitchen.

Where are the peanuts? I say to myself as I look in every cabinet and drawer. I can't find any. I sigh and decide to just eat peanut butter.

Wow! Is she kicking? I put my hand on my stomach and feel my daughter move around. I hope she is beautiful.

●●●● 37 Weeks Pregnant●●●●

Africa

I am so over this! I feel hot and sweaty all over. I feel the urge to throw up all the time.

Jionni is gone on one of his business trips. Figures. I am nine months pregnant and he decides to go on a damn business trip.

The only thing I need him for is to be there when the baby comes.

Even if it is a girl I want him to be there.

I can't believe I am getting close to my due date. The baby is almost here!

I am interrupted by Jionni walking through the front door. He sets down his suitcases. His face is a little darker than it used to be. He is usually very pale.

"Wow!" He says taking off his jacket.

"You look. Um pregnant." He says nervously

I nod as we stand there in awkward silence.

"Well I am going to get some rest. I had a long flight." He says as he walks upstairs.

I wish we knew each other better.

●●●●●A Week Later●●●●●●

Africa

I feel exhausted! 38 weeks a long and I just want it to be over.

I sit there in kitchen eating a banana. I start to feel a trickle go go down my leg. I stand up startled.

I then feel a gush of water going down my legs and that's when I know it is time. I run upstairs to grab my overnight bag when I feel a sharp pain in my stomach.

These are contractions. Ouch! There's another one.

I run downstairs and into Jionni's office. I walk in and see two other men standing next to him.

"Sweetie. We are in a meeting." He says a little annoyed

"I don't give a shit about your meeting. I am in labor!" I yell

He stands there shocked.

"My wife is in labor!" He says and the men clap and smile.

Jionni grabs my hand and helps my down the concrete steps. When we are in the car I feel my contractions getting worse.

We finally arrive at the hospital. Jionni gets out first to grab a wheelchair. He helps me into it.

As we are walking into the hospital I hear loud gun shots.

"Put your head down!" Jionni says taking out his gun.

I put my head down. I look down and realize that I have been shot in the shoulder.

I feel sleepy and I hear the gun shots stop.

"Africa! Africa? "

Jionni

I scooped Africa up in my arms and carried her inside the hospital. I found a nurse and ran up to her.

"Please help her!" I cried out as I watched the blood drain out of her body.

"Oh my set her the gurney!" I set Africa down on the gurney.

"She is also in labor. Please make sure my son is alright!" I cried at the thought of losing my son. I don't know what I would do without them.

They wheeled her down the hallway.

"Sir you have to wait out here." The nurse said as she pushed me back into the waiting room.

I just want them to be okay. I take out my phone and call my boys. I need to know who did this to my wife and child!

Hello? Jionni?

"Yeah it's me. I need everyone to get here now. And nobody better be late!"

What's going on Jionni? Is everything okay?

" I'll tell you when you get here. Just meet me at the hospital!"

I hang up and pace around the waiting room. I just hope they are okay.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

They finally got here. My cousins Mikey, Joey, and Mark sit down next to me as my brother and friends sit across from me.

"Is everything okay boss? Why are we in a hospital? Is Africa in labor?" My brother said

I take a deep breath trying to hold back my tears. I don't want to seem weak in front of my boys.

"Some asshole shot her. We were on our way into the hospital when some bastard shot her!" The tears came streaming down my face.

My boys sit there with surprised looks on their faces.

"I want you to review and look over the video surveillance and find out who did this! And once you do I want you to shoot his brains out." I wipe the tears off my face and take a deep breath.

The boys get up and file out of the waiting room.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Minutes and hours go by and I still haven't heard anything. The nurses just shuffle past me as I wait.

What if I was too late and they both died. I couldn't go on without them. I pace around the room hoping and praying they are both alright.

"Boss! We found our guy." I turn around to see my younger brother with a white envelope in his hands.

I snatch it out of his hands and read the information.

"Did you guys catch him yet?"

"Yeah boss. He is in the warehouse."

"Did you kill him?"

My brother shook his head.

"Why is he not dead!" I yell. These idiots didn't kill the man. He is still alive while my wife and child are fighting for their lives.

"We thought that you wanted to do the honors." He said looking at his shoes

He was right I wanted to do the honors. I wanted to slice his throat and watch him bleed out. I want him to beg for his life.

"But I can't leave. Africa and the baby are still in surgery." I didn't want leave without knowing that they are alright.

"I can stay here. I will call you with the updates on the both of them." He said still looking down at his shoes.

"Yeah. Yeah stay here and call if she has woken up." I leave my brother and walk out of the hospital. I get into the car.

"Where to boss." My driver says

"The old warehouse. I have a friend to see there."

We drive out of the hospital parking lot. Please God let them be okay.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

We arrive at the old warehouse. I jump out of the car. Before my driver could open the door for me.

I want to see the man that shot my wife. My son and wife could have died.

I ran in there and pulled my gun out.

"Calm down Jionni." Calm down! Fuck that.

My uncle Sal stood in front of the man. I tried to push past him but he was too strong.

"Jionni take a deep breath." I took a deep breath then pushed past my uncle.

"Cousin Jionni!"

I remember him he is uncle Sal's oldest son. He left for college and we never him again and he now shows up and tries to kill my wife.

"James. What the fuck?" I charged at him ready to choke him.

My uncle grabbed me before I could do anything. How dare he try to defend him when he tried to kill my wife and son.

I picked up my chair and threw it across the room.

"I don't care if he is you son Sal. I want him dead. You hear me. I will shoot this little fucker's brains out.!"

"Sit down!" My uncle yells. I have never seen him so angry but I didn't care. His son can burn in hell!

I sit down and watch the bastard laugh and smile.

"Wow Jionni. Angry much?" He laughs again and that outrages me more.

I try to breath but all I want to do is kill him.

"Why did you shoot her?" I say trying to stay calm.

"Well because." He laughs again.

"You don't deserve her. She doesn't even deserve you. You can't have love because you are heartless. So I shot her and that mistake of yours to make the world a better place." He chuckles

Sal looks at me and moves away from his only son.

I grab my gun and press it up against his forehead.

"Die in hell bitch!" I pull the trigger.

I watch as uncle Sal turns his head in horror. His only son is dead and I killed him.

"Get this piece of shit out of here" I say as I wipe off my gun. I grab a cigar out of my pocket and light it.

I watch as the boys put his body into a white sheet and drag it away.

"Also." I say taking another hit off of my cigar. "Make sure you clean up this blood."

I turn around to see Sal crying. His son was a monster and I am happy that I put him out of his misery.

I turn around and walk out of the warehouse. I get back into my car and drive back to the hospital. I need to get my mind back on Africa and the baby.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

I return back to the hospital. My brother is still sitting in the waiting room.

"Anything?" I say as I sit down.

"No not yet." My brother says as he twiddles his thumbs

The nurse walks out.

"Jionni Bonachelli?" She says holding a clipboard.

"You wife is out of surgery. She had a gun shot to her arm but it missed the bone and tendons. She should have full use of her arm in a couple of weeks." I take a huge breath.

"But what about the baby?"

She smiles sweetly.

"Your son is doing fine. He is healthy and well. We delivered him before your wife went into surgery."

It's a boy! I jumped up and down. They are both alright.

"Can I see them?"

"Yes. Right through here."

I follow the nurse until we stop in front of a door. She opens it.

I see Africa with a white bandage wrapped around her right arm. In the other arm she holds our son.

I can't help but to cry. I walk over to them.

"Africa. Honey how are you feeling."

"Like I was shot." She says as she chuckles.

"It's a boy. Isn't he handsome." She says. I smile and pick up the baby from her arm.

"What should we name him?" I say as I caress his head.

"Um? What about Jionni Jr." She says with a smile.

"Yeah I like that. Jionni Jr." I kiss her gently.

I have my son and my wife. What could a man ever ask for. The Ruthless - Forgiveness - Wattpad

Africa

Life is chaotic. Jionni Jr is 9 months old and his smile is so precious. I love the way he laughs when I sneeze, I love the way he lays his head on my chest when he sleeps, I love everything about my son! It's so hard not to be sad when he is around.

Jionni and I have been closer. After he saved my life and our child's. I have moved past the whole kidnapping thing and learned to forgive my husband.

It took me awile to heal. I could only hold my son with one arm. But after my rehabilitation I was able to use my arm. It's been a long process but I am happy I got through it.

Jionni

I have my son! He is perfect in every way. I still feel so distant. Africa is more loving and I feel happiness when she kisses me. I have been gone from home for 4 weeks now. I long to hold my wife and see my son.

I want to see my wife's beautiful blue eyes and kiss her soft lips. I can't wait to slide my hand down her lovely curves. I miss her soft skin. God I miss her!

"Boss! The plane is here." I am interrupted from my thoughts. I nod and follow the man down the hallway.

I can't wait to surprise Africa.

●●●●●●●Hours Later●●●●●●●●

I arrive at my mansion. I stand outside of our front door. I want to go in but I am trying to figure out what to say to my wife.

Stop being a pussy Jionni and go in! I open the door. I am greeted by the smells of lavender and vanilla. I stand in the foyer. I hear my son coo and I hear Africa's beautiful voice come from inside of the kitchen.

The excitement overjoys me and I run to the kitchen. Africa has her back to me as she holds our son her hip. She sings to him and caresses his head.

I walk up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist. She jumps at my touch. She turns around and kisses me. I missed holding her in my arms. We step back and I grab my son.

He has grown a lot since the last time I have saw him. He smiles his beautiful smile and I pull his head into my chest. Kissing the top of his head and feeling the warmth of his little body.

It brings tears to my eyes. I am finally home.

We sit on the couch and watch Jionni play on the floor. He crawls around and pulls himself up. Reaching for everything on the coffee table.

I wrap arms around Africa. She smells like vanilla. I rub my hand on her shoulder seeing her scar from the gun shot. The scar is straight down her arm.

She looks up at me with those gorgeous eyes. I plant a kiss on her lips. My hunger for her intensifies as I look at her breasts. I feel myself getting hard.

My son's giggling interrupts my thoughts and I focus my attention on him. He bobs up and down holding on to the table.

"I think it's time for your bedtime." Africa says standing up and walking over to our son. She picks him up and whisks him off.

I decide to get up from the couch. I follow Africa to our son's room. She rocks him to sleep until he finally falls asleep. She lays him down gently in his crib before she walks over to me.

She closes the door behind us and we walk to our bedroom.

I lie back on the bed. I love my life and I love my job. Some people might think my profession is a little ruthless and evil but I don't care. I am married to a beautiful woman and she gave me a son.

"Jionni?"

I look up to see Africa standing over me in her bra and underwear. She looks so sexy and my hunger is awoken. I sit up in the bed and look at my wife's beautiful body.

I stand up and walk over to my wife. I place my hand on her soft skin and kiss her. I tongues dance together and I start to feel hard.

I am interrupted by the sound of the door. I groan not wanting to leave my wife.

"Ugh. I am going to answer the door and when I get back you better be naked." I kiss her and walk out of the room.

I reach the door and open it to see a woman and a child standing there.

"Jionni. This is your daughter Rhia." Jionni

"This is your daughter Rhia" said the woman in a red dress.

She had dark brown hair and blue eyes. She stood next to a little girl with auburn hair and green eyes. The girl was clutching a pink bunny.

I stood there shocked. I tried to remember the woman standing in front of me but my memory was fuzzy. I couldn't remember her.

"Jionni who is at the door..." Africa stood at the top of the stairs in her white silk robe.

"Who is this?" The woman in the red dress said

"I am his wife Africa." She said walking down the stairs.

Before I knew it Africa was standing next me staring at this woman.

"Well it's nice to meet you Kenya. I am Janice, Jionni's ex and his baby mama."

"My name is Africa and it's nice to meet you too."

"Well I came here to tell you that you have a daughter and I am going to need you to take her."

She pushed the little girl through the doorway.

"Bye sweetie. You are going to stay here with daddy." She bent down and kissed her on her forehead.

She turned around and began to walk down the outside steps.

I pushed the little girl towards Africa and ran after her.

Janice was getting into her red car before I stopped her.

"What do you mean you are leaving her here? You can't just leave your daughter with total strangers." I said angrily.

"Look Jionni. I don't have any money. By look of it you do. I need you to take her for a couple of months."

"Months?" I said pounding my fist on the roof of her car.

"Yes months. I am going to Arizona to live with my sister and find a job. And once I do I will come back for her."

I rubbed my temples in frustration.

"Why can't she live with you and your sister." I clenched my fists tighter.

"She can't. My sister already has five kids of her own. That would just be another mouth to feed."

"Okay here." I reached in my pocket and pulled out a roll of money.

"What's this?"

"It's money. If you need more just come back. Just take her with you."

She grabbed the money and threw it on the ground.

"I don't want your damn money. I want you to be a father and take care of your child."

Befote I could say anything she got in her car and drove away.

I clenched my fists and picked up the money.

How dare that bitch throw my money on the ground. How dare she come to my home and drop her daughter off. How do I even know that the brat is mine.

I walked up the steps. I walked into the foyer. Africa was sitting next to the girl.

"Sweetie, I'll be right back." Africa said standing up.

I didn't want to talk to her. I just wanted a drink. I left the foyer and started walking to my office.

"Jionni?"

I don't want to talk woman just leave me alone.

"Jionni?"

Please just leave me alone. I don't want to talk. Doesn't my silence mean anything to you.

"Jionni?"

Now I'm mad!

"What!" I yelled in her face.

"What the hell do you want!"

"I just want to talk." She says on the verge of tears.

"I don't want to fucking talk. Just take that little brat upstairs and get her out of my sight.!" I growl in her face.

I see a tear go down her cheek. But I don't give a damn.

"Go!"

She turns around and walks away.

Good girl. Now leave me alone.

I walk into my office and grab my bottle of scotch. I decide not to grab a cup but instead just drink out of the bottle. I sit back in my chair putting my feet up on my desk.

That Janice bitch has another thing coming. Just dropping her daughter off at my doorstep. I want a DNA test to be sure that the little brat is mine!

Africa

I wipe the tears from my eyes as I walk back to Rhia. I can't believe that asshole yelled at me like that.

I walk back to the foyer to see Rhia sitting there clutching her bunny.

"Rhia sweetie, do you want to come upstairs and get some sleep." I say holding out my hand.

She nods and holds my hand. We walk up the stairs until I reach the guest room. I push open the door only to hear Jionni Jr cry.

"Who is that?" She says in the cutest vioce.

"That's the baby. He is your baby brother."

"Can I see him?" She says as her eyes light up.

"Yeah sure. He will be very excited to see his big sister."

I grab her hand and we walk towards the baby's room. I push open the door.

He smiles once he sees me standing in the doorway. I let go of her hand and I walk over to his crib. I pick him up and walk over to the rocking chair.

"He is so cute!" Rhia says holding his hand.

"What's his name?" She says making faces at the baby.

"His name is Jionni."

"Just like daddy's"

"Yes." I say with a smile.

"I don't think daddy likes me very much."

I wanted to cry. How dare Jionni make this little girl feel like trash. Because I'll be damned if I let him mistreat her.

"He does sweetheart." I bend down and kiss her on her forehead.

"I have a question." She says looking up at me with her beautiful green eyes.

"Yes honey." I say slowly rocking in the chair.

"Are you my new mommy?"looked down at her with tears in my eyes. I want to be her mom but I feel that I would be replacing her real mom.

"Rhia." I pause for a minute trying to figure out what to say.

"Rhia sweetie, I am your second mommy."

"Second mommy?"

"Yes. You have your other mommy who carried you in her tummy and then you have me your second mommy that's going to take care of you."

"Woah! Two mommies!"

"Yes sweetie. You are very special!"

Her smile warms my heart as I rock Jionni Jr to sleep.

He then falls asleep and I put him back in his crib. I look over and notice Rhia start to yawn.

"Well. Let's get you to bed sweetie." I pick her up and she puts her head on my chest.

I walk her back to the guest room.

"Do you have any pajamas?" I then remember that her mother didn't pack her a bag.

I grab one of Jionni's white T-shirts and help her change out of her clothes.

I tuck her in. Placing the large covers over her little body.

I turn to leave the room.

"Africa?"

"Yes sweetie." I say turning around.

"I love you."

"I love you too sweetie. Now get some rest." I turn off the light and close the door gently.

I walk back to my own bedroom. I walk in to see Jionni laying across the bed. He looks up at me and smirks.

He gets up off the bed and stands in front of me.

"So I am guessing that you want to talk." I can smell the alcohol on his breath.

"No not tonight. You're drunk." I say crossing my arms and looking him in the eye.

He laughs and begins to walk over to his side of the bed. I nod realizing that the conversation is over and walk over to my side of the bed.

I climb into the bed and feel the cold covers against my skin. I look over to see Jionni still standing by his side of the bed.

"Honey. Please get some sleep."

"Don't you dare tell me want to do." He slurs.

"I wasn't telling you what to do. I just think you need some sleep."

He facial expression changes and I see anger flash in his eyes. He climbs on top of me pushing my hands above my head.

"Stop. Telling. Me. What. To. Do." I nod hoping that he will get off of me.

He gets off of me and lays on his side of the bed. I take a deep breath and reach to turn off the light. I slide back under the covers and try to sleep.

I feel a sharp pain on the side of my face. I open my eyes to see Jionni holding his hand up.

"Jionni. What the hell!" I yell trying to hold back my tears.

"All you bitches do is lie and cheat." I sat there holding my face confused.

He reaches over and puts his hand over my throat pushing me down on the bed. I scream but I can't force any air out of my lungs.

"You bitches set me up!"

I bring my foot up and kick right in the balls. He doubles over and lets go of my throat.

I feel the air returning in my lungs as I try to breathe.

I feel a rough push and I fall to the ground. I hit my head hard on the ground as I roll over and put my hands up to my head.

Jionni stands over me with anger in his eyes.

"You shouldn't have done that." He stays waving his finger.

I then feel sharp blows to my ribs. I try to scream but he only hits harder.

He kept hitting me until all I could see was black.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

I awoke still on the floor. My ribs ached and I felt sore all over.

I sat up and looked only to see that I was alone. I pulled myself up and walked to the bathroom.

I stood in front of the mirror. I saw the bruises on my neck and ribs. It hurt so bad that I felt tears falling from my eyes.

I thought everything was okay now. I thought that me and Jionni could actually have a loving marriage.

I wipe the tears from eyes and change my clothes. Every movement hurts as I walk to the baby's room.

I walk in only to see that the baby is not in here. I take a deep breath and walk down the hall to the guest room. Rhia was not in her bed neither.

I got worried as I ran down the stairs. I ran into the kitchen only to see Jionni Jr and Rhia sitting with Jionni.

He saw me in the doorway and smiled. Last night flashed over and over in my head.

He then puts the baby in his high chair and walks over to me.

"You look like you've seen a ghost." He says reaching down and kissing me on the cheek.

"Well I see that you and Rhia have bonded." He says flashing her a smile. I nod and make my way over to the table only to be stopped by Jionni.

He holds my wrist in his tight grip. Making it hard for me to move. He pushes me into his chest. I cringe when I feel a sharp pain in my ribs.

"Stop being such a girl and man up." He whispers in my ear.

"And don't you dare tell people. I was drunk I didn't know what I was doing." He says still whispering in my ear.

He plays with my hair. As he pulls a strand away from my face.

"You will never get away from me. I own you! You will always be mine until the day you die." He smiles as he holds my chin in his hand.

He lets go of me and I fight the urge to cry. I walk over to the table and sit next to Rhia.

Jionni walks behind me and places my plate in front of me.

"Now eat like a good girl." He says in my ear.I sat on the patio watching Rhia play in the yard. It reminded me of when I was a kid and I would spend every waking hour outside. My mother would always have to wash my hair because I was constantly getting dirty.

I heard the sceen door open and I turned to see Jionni standing there. He looked at me in disgust. I don't know what I did wrong.

I held my son closer to my chest not wanting anything to happen to him. I will protect my son and daughter with my life.

I felt Jionni get closer to me. He hovered over me. He had his hands in his pockets.

"Let me see him." He held his hands out reaching for the baby.

I clutched the baby closer. Not wanting him to take him away from me.

"Did you not hear me!" He growled in my ear.

"I just want to hold my baby." I say trying to keep it together.

That only makes him angrier and he forces my hands off of the baby.

He lifts the baby from my arms. I just sit there with a blank expression on my face.

"If I have to tell you again. I will take the children away from you."

I nod and go back to watching Rhia play. She looks so happy. I wish I could have that.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

We are sitting in Rhia's room having a tea party.

I want to get up and check on the baby. I want to see if he is alright. He hasn't cried in a long time. I hope Jionni didn't hurt him. What the hell am I thinking. He would never hurt his son. He is his heir.

"Mom!"

I snap back to reality. Rhia is looking up at me holding up a tea pot.

"Oh. I would love some more tea. Miss Rhia." I say holding out my cup.

She giggles and pours the imaginary liquid in my cup.

"One lump or two?" She says holding up a plastic cube.

"Oh. Just one dear. I have to watch my figure." I say with a smile.

She laughs and plops a cube in my cup. I smile and take a sip of the imaginary liquid.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

I put Rhia down for bed and I am making my way towards the baby's room.

I push open the door quietly to not wake him. To my surprise he is sound asleep. I hear his little groans in his sleep. Awww he is so precious.

I leave the room and shut the door gently. I am scared and nervous to walk into my bedroom.

I don't want to see Jionni look at me with hate in his eyes.

I walk over to the door and push it open. Jionni is sitting on the bed reading a book.

I walk in slowly trying to avoid eye contact. He doesn't even look up. He just continues his reading.

I lay next to him. I can feel him looking at me but I ignore it. I turn on my side so I don't face him.

I feel the bed move and I look up to see Jionni looking at me. I gulp and turn my head away fast.

"You okay?" He breaths on me.

I close my eyes and take a deep breath.

"Yeah. I'm fine."

"Okay. Well tomorrow I am leaving." I feel him move away from me.

"Where?"

"To Spain."

"For how long?" I say with my back still facing him.

"For 5 weeks."

I nod and close my eyes. I just want to sleep so I don't have to see or talk to him anymore.

"You're not going to miss me."

"Yes. And so will the kids." I say with my eyes still closed shut.

I felt him get closer to me. I felt his breath on my neck.

"While I'm gone, I want you on your best behavior." I nod once more keeping my eyes shut.

"Well goodnight." He says turning off the lamp and wrapping his arm around my waist.

At least he will be gone for 5 weeks. I can finally have a break from that monster and feel alive again....Africa

Today Jionni is leaving. I am not sad that he is leaving, I am very overjoyed. With him being gone I can finally breathe again.

Jionni Jr, Rhia, and I are waiting in the foyer. Jionni is marching around handing the men his bags. He hasn't said a word to me about that night. He won't even say that he is sorry which hurts like hell. My bruises remind me of that horrible night.

"Bye sweetie." He kisses Rhia on the forehead.

They have been getting along nicely and Rhia seems to like him. He is always playing hide and seek with her and he even takes her on walks.

"My boy!" He says lifting the baby out of my arms.

"I will miss you. You be good for your mother and be nice to your big sister."

He looks at me with those cold beady eyes of his. He gets closer to me until he is standing right in front of me. He bends down and whispers in my ear.

"My father and my cousin will be here in a couple of days. You need to make them comfortable because my father is a dangerous man. So be on your best behaviour." He plants a kiss on my forehead.

He gives me back the baby before he leaves. Once the door shuts I feel all of the anxiety roll off my back.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Jionni has been gone for a week now and I am happier than ever. When I put the kids down for their naps I feel free. I don't have to walk on egg shells just to please him.

The kids are playing on the floor as I make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I hear the front door open and I feel the anxiety creeping up on me. I grab the children and walk to the foyer.

Please don't be Jionni. Please don't be Jionni.

In the foyer stands two men. One of the men has black hair with gray streaks. He has hazel eyes and he wears all black. I get closer keeping a tight grip on Rhia's hand. The man looks up and a smile appears on his face.

"He didn't tell me his wife was so beautiful!" His voice is a little raspy.

I smile trying to figure out who these men are. He senses my confusion.

"My name is Bencino but you can call me Benny. I am Jionni's father." That's when it comes back to me now. I remember Jionni telling me that his father and cousin will be here.

"And this must be baby Jionni and little Rhia. Your father talks about you all of the time." He turns around to look at the man standing by the door.

"Come meet everybody!" The man comes walking towards us.

His green eyes glimmer and I can't help but to notice his tan olive skin. To say that he is good looking is an understatement this man was gorgeous. It was like God himself sculpted his body by hand.

"Hello my name is Remy, I am Jionni's cousin." He took my hand and kissed it. I could feel the heat in the room intensify. His green eyes were burning holes into me.

"Well give me a few minutes to put the children to sleep and I can get you two something to eat." They both nodded in unison.

I took Rhia's hand and walked up the stairs. I put the baby in his bed first and after that I tucked Rhia in.

I ran to my bedroom and put on some perfume and fixed my messy hair. I walked down the stairs to see the men seated comfortably in the living room.

"Are you guys hungry or anything?"

"No we are good. Why don't you come in here and sit down with us." Benny said. I nodded and sat across from Remy. He had a cup of scotch in his hand. His eyes wandered up and down my body. The room heated up once more.

"So Africa how are you doing?"

"I am doing fine."

Benny nodded and took a sip of his scotch. I wasn't much of a drinker. To tell you the truth I hated the smell of alcohol it made me want to throw up.

"I am sorry that I didn't make it to the wedding. I was in Italy for a few months."

"It's fine no big deal."

"So how does it feel to be married to my asshole cousin?" His green eyes never left my body.

"It's great!" I lied. It was more like hell than anything.

He smiled at me which made me panties go wet. Wow! He could charm a fish out of water.

"Well we are a little tired. Do you mind showing us to our rooms?" We all stood up in unison.

They grabbed their bags from the foyer and followed me up the stairs. I showed Benny his room first.

"Thank you sweetheart." He said before shutting his door.

Remy was behind me and I could feel the butterflies in my stomach. We stopped at the last room at the end of the hall.

"Here we are." He walked into the room and set his bags down. Before I could leave he grabbed me and pushed me up against the wall. His warm breath fanned my face. His lips looked so kissable.

"I know your husband doesn't treat you right. So let me." He crashed his lips into mine. He licked my lips for entry and I let him. Our tongues fought for dominance but he won. He pulled away leaving me breathless.

"Good Night gorgeous!" The door shut and I so desperately wanted to open it.

I shook my head and walked to my bedroom. That made me want more. I wanted him to take me into his bed. I wanted him to kiss every inch of my body.

I got into bed and closed my eyes. Everytime I did I could see Remy.Africa

I wake up and bring the children downstairs. Remy and Benny are still asleep and I decided to make breakfast. I can't get my mind off of Remy.

All night I had dreams of me and Remy. I dreamt of me and Remy in bed together. I wanted to feel his hands all over my body. I don't want him to miss an inch of my body. He makes my panties get wet.

I put the baby in his high chair and Rhia sits down at the dining table. I start breakfast but my mind is still on Remy. I can still see his green eyes.

"Good morning!" Benny walks in wearing a maroon silk robe.

"Good morning Benny." I respond and sit a plate in front of Rhia.

I turn around to the man himself Remy standing in the doorway. He has no shirt on and he has on gray sweatpants.

His body is like a masterpiece. It's like I am standing in front of a god.

"You like what you see." His whispers in my ear before walking to the dining table.

I set the plates on the table and take my place next to Remy. I can't help but to glance over at him every few seconds. He notices and looks at me with those gorgeous green eyes.

Panties drop in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

No one has had this effect on me before and to tell you the truth it feels good. It feels good to have a break from my asshole husband. It feels great to have a sexy ass man sitting next to me.

"So Africa where are you from?" Benny says taking a bite out of his eggs.

"I am from Minnesota."

"Oh Minnesota. It must be a big step from here."

I nod and take a bite out of my food. I turn my attention to the baby and begin to feed him.

After breakfast everyone parts ways and I play with the kids. Today is a beautiful day and the kids need fresh air.

"So mom where do babies come from?" My eyes nearly bulged out of my head. For God sake she is only 3 years old.

"Umm...? Why don't you ask your father when he gets home."

"But why?"

"Because I have no idea where babies come from?" I lie. I know damn well where babies come from and I so desperately want to make a baby with Remy. Our son or daughter would have Remy's green eyes and my sandy blonde hair.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Remy

I watch Africa walk outside with the kids.

Good God does her ass look nice in those pants. I wanted to rip those off of her body. I want to kiss every inch of her body. I feel the bulge grow in my pants.

I guess little Remy wants to play and I don't blame him. The woman looks good in everything.

Last night all I wanted to do was drag her inside of my room and fuck her. I wanted to make the whole house shake and I want to hear her sweet moans. I wouldn't stop until she couldn't take anymore.

I would make her feel like a woman instead of a scared little girl. I want her to feel powerful. All Jionni does is make her feel worthless and that she is only good for sex. But I see her as a strong, lovely, and graceful woman.

I just want her to pack up her and the children's bags and run away from here. We can raise the baby and Rhia together and then later down the road have more children. But I know she won't leave because she is afraid of Jionni.

It makes me want to put my fist through a wall. All Jionni does is abuse her. When I first met her I could see the bruises on her neck. I didn't even ask her about it because I know exactly who did that to her. I would never put my hands on a female.

But all I know is that I need to get her and the children out of here.

I need to do it before Jionni comes home. We can move to South America so Jionni wouldn't be able to find us. I need to do it soon because Jionni will be home in 4 weeks.

Africa

The kids are asleep and it's only me and Remy. His green eyes are so intense as he never looks away. Every time he takes a sip out of his scotch his gaze is still on me.

I can't help but to get turned on. He is a black tank top that shows his muscles well. It's a good thing that I have underwear on or there would be a puddle on the couch.

"You like what you see?"

Hell yes!

"Maybe." I say in a seductive voice.

He smiles with those perfect teeth and all I can think about is how good he is in bed. The only man who I have had sex with was Jionni. And I think I need is another man to make me feel good in all the right places.

I cross my legs so I can stop feeling this way but it is not working. I try to look away but my eyes can't get enough.

Next thing I know Remy is up on his feet and is walking towards me. He plops down next to me and feel as if the room just heated up.

"I think caramel is the best flavor." He says inching closer to me.

Dear Lord this man is making me wetter than Niagara falls.

"It...it is?"

He gets closer to me and starts playing with the front of my robe. I feel his warm breath across my neck.

"You should let me have a taste."

He attacks my neck. His wet kisses send shivers down my spine and I can't help but to moan out. His lips connect with mine and I don't hesitate but to kiss him back.

Our tongues dance together as my fingers run through his hair. His hands find their way to my shirt as he kneads my breasts. I moan in his mouth.

"We...should go upstairs." I breathe out.

"Lead the way." We both stand up and walk over to the stairs. I can feel his eyes on my butt as I walk up the stairs.

We reach my bedroom and next thing I know my robe is ripped off my body. He comes behind me and starts kissing my neck.

I turn around so I can kiss his lips. I feel his hands on my bare breasts.

"Let me make you feel like a woman tonight."

Just then he rips my shirt off of my body while with the other hand he unties my pajama bottoms.

He pushes me onto the bed. He plants sweet kisses on my neck then down to my collar bone. He makes his way down to my stomach.

He opens my legs and plants kisses on my inner thighs.

What a tease!

He plays with the lace of my underwear while kissing my right thigh. I huff out in frustration.

"Are you ready?"

Um hello. Of course!

I nod yes. He rips my underwear off sending a cold chill throughout my body.

His tongue finds my pearl and he goes to town. His fingers find their way to my opening. He pumps in and out. I look down to see his intense green eyes staring back at me.

I run my fingers through his hair. I feel myself ready to climax and he senses it too. He stops what he is doing.

"Not yet." He whispers.

He makes his way back to my neck kissing and nibbling. Next thing I know my bra is off of my body and am fully naked.

"You taste so sweet." He breathes out.

He licks and sucks my nipples making me moan in satisfaction. His tongue does wonders for my body as his tongue swirls around on my nipple.

He stops and starts to take off his shirt. His perfect chiseled abs make me moan in satisfaction.

Next is his pants. I can't help but to watch as he starts to remove his boxers.

Oh my Lord is he big! Bigger than Jionni.

He climbs on top of me.

"Are you ready. My love."

Yep!

I nod. I feel him slide into me. His pace starts out slow and soon after he picks up the pace. He hits my G-Spot over and over again. I arch my back as I feel myself about to climax.

I dig my nails into his back as I climax. I moan out in pure ecstasy. He grunts and groans as he reaches his orgasm. I feel his warm seed inside of me.

I feel breathless and I feel good. All I want to do is lay in this bed with this man all day. No interruptions.

He wraps his arm around my waist and kisses me sweetly on the lips.

"You're such a beautiful woman."

Wow! He sure knows how to treat a woman.

"Africa."

"Yes."

"I want you to pack you and the children's bags tomorrow morning."

I sit up to look at him.

"Why?"

"I am taking you and the children away from that monster. You and the children can live with me in South America."

I don't even need time to think about it because I already know my answer. I jump out of bed and run to my closet to grab my suitcases. If we are leaving tomorrow I want to be ready.

"So eager are you?" Remy stands in the doorway in his black boxers.

"You wouldn't even know." I smile and continue to throw clothes into my suitcases.

"When are we leaving?"

"Tomorrow morning at 11:30."

"What about Benny?"

"He is coming with us. He wants you and the children to get as far away as possible."

I can't help but to smile. They are taking me away from Jionni and I don't have to be a prisoner to him. The children will be safe and I don't have to get up in the middle of the night to check on them because I am scared that Jionni will do something to them.

"Come back to bed my love. You can finish packing early tomorrow."

I agree with him and walk out of my closet. I lay down next to him feeling the warmth radiating off of his body. I wrap my arms around him and put my head on his warm chest.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

I couldn't sleep last night because I was too excited. Instead I packed up the children and my things. I made sure that that everything was packed by making a mental check list.

Remy says we are leaving pretty soon as I feed the kids and get them dressed. Remy and Benny are putting the bags in the car as I strap Rhia and the baby into their car seats.

"You ready my love." Remy says placing his hands on my hips.

"Yes."

I get into the back seat with the kids. Benny is in the driver's seat while Remy is in the passenger seat.

I can't help but to feel happy and free. We begin to drive off and I see the mansion in the distance.

"Mommy where are we going?"

Rhia says.

"We are going on a trip." She smiles and nods.

We drive down a dirt path as I see so many trees. I haven't left the house since I gave birth to the baby. We continue to drive but soon the car stops.

"Shit!" Benny yells.

"What?" I say panicking.

"Look." Benny points to a black car parked in front of a large gate.

"Who is that?" I say trying to be calm.

"Jionni."

Africa

I watched Jionni get out of the car and walk towards us. He took his time walking, stopping to smooth down the nonexistent wrinkles in his shirt. I will admit it Jionni looked pretty handsome in his white dress shirt and black slacks. On his feet he wore expensive black dress shoes and every time he took a step he would look down at his shoes to see if there was any dirt on them. He had a cigarette in his mouth and as he got closer he threw the cigarette in the bushes.

He went to the driver's side of the car that Benny was sitting in. I looked over at Benny and I saw that he had a huge smile on his face.

Jionni bent down to look at his father.

"Where are you guys going?" Jionni asked in a very calm voice. Benny licked his lips before talking.

"I wanted to take my daughter in-law and my grandchildren to the zoo."

"To the zoo?" Jionni raised his eyebrow.

"Yes, to see the animals. I used to take you and Remy to see the elephants and stuff." Benny smiled back at Jionni.

Jionni looked at me and then the kids then back at his father.

"Well, let me go move the car so we can go."

"Oh no son. You don't have to. I mean you just got home why don't go home and rest."

"No I'm fine. I got some rest on the plane. And I also want to spend some time with you, Africa, the baby, Rhia, and Remy."

The two men made eye contact. They both gave each other angry looks.

I didn't know what to say I was just too shocked that Jionni was here.

We were so close to being away from him.

I tried not to cry because I don't want to make a scene or make the situation look suspicious. I kept it together this time and turned my head to look out of the window.

"Oh shit! I think I forgot my phone at the house. We need to turn back around." Benny said pretending to check his pockets.

"Okay. I will meet you back at the house."

Benny reversed the car and we drove back up the road.

"Benny what the fuck are we going to do?"

"Watch your language there is children in the back." Benny scolded.

"Son, just calm down. I will run inside to get my 'phone'. I will distract Jionni and you will hop in the car and drive to the airport."

I felt excitement in my stomach at the sound of those words.

We still have a chance to get away. Let's just hope this plan works.

I mentally crossed my fingers and prayed.

"But wait a minute what are you going to do?"

Benny looked down at the steering wheel then back up at Remy before saying.

"Someone's got to take him out." I finally decided to say something.

"You're going to kill your own son?" Benny looked at me in the rearview window.

"My son is a monster. There is no other place for him to go except for hell. I brought him into this world I can sure as hell take him out."

We were now in front of the house. I looked behind us and saw Jionni's car right on our tail. The car stopped and Benny unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. I looked behind us again and I saw Jionni getting out of his car and following his father inside. Remy got out of the car and walked to driver's side quickly. He started up the car and he pressed his foot on the gas.

I held onto the seat afraid that if I didn't I would end up going through the windshield window.

"Jionni slow down!" I yelled. I looked over at the kids and even they were scared.

"I'm sorry just hold on for one more minute." He drove through the gate and we drove down another road. He began to slow down a little bit but it was still too fast for me.

After a series of winding roads we made it to the airplane.

"Look mommy a plane." Rhia said pointing out of the window.

"Yes it is honey."

Remy parked the car and we all got out. I helped the kids out of their car seats.

"Just up those steps and you will be on the plane." Remy said pointing at the plane.

He really thinks I'm that stupid.

I rolled my eyes and walked with kids to the plane. A flight attendant helped with kids as Remy and a few other men got the bags.Africa

Me and the flight attendant whose name was Cindy were helping the kids into their seats. The baby had fallen asleep and I gave Rhia a small snack. I sat down in my seat getting ready to put on my seat belt when I looked out of the window and saw Remy talking to someone. I moved my head to see but I saw no one.

"Can you watch them real quick?" I said getting up from my seat.

"Yes of course." Cindy said. Cindy was a gorgeous woman. She had to be about 28, chocolate brown hair, and brown eyes. I got up and walked down the stairs and onto the tarmac. I looked around to see where Remy was when I heard his voice.

"Remy, who are you-" I stopped when I saw Jionni standing there with a gun in his hand. He had it pointed at Remy. Jionni looked as if he had been in a fight. His hair was standing up in all directions, he had spots of blood on his shirt, and he had a black eye.

I looked over at Remy as he reached into his belt and pulled out a gun. Remy pointed the gun at Jionni. They were both quiet as they both held their guns. I stood there watching their every move, I was too stunned to say anything.

"Where the fuck are you taking my wife and children?" Jionni spoke in a harsh tone.

"I am taking them away from you. You don't fucking deserve any of them. You're a selfish, spoiled bastard!" Remy spat.

"What? You think you are better than me." Jionni's hand began to shake.

Remy scoffed. "Anyone is better than you!" Jionni's hand began to shake some more.

"Just give up J. You're shaking."

"Not until I kill you first!"

It felt like everything went into slow motion. They both fired their guns at the same time. I covered my ears due to the loud sounds the guns were making. I felt like I was watching an action movie as both of the men fell to the ground.

I felt like the blood in my body was being drained. I let out a high pitched scream as I looked at Remy's lifeless body. I tried to run to him but I felt someone's hands wrap around my waist. I turned around to see Benny. I fell into his arms as I felt the warm tears on my cheeks.

Benny carried me back to the plane. He helped me into my seat, clasping the seat belt. Benny had scratches all over his face and arms. His clothes were ripped and he had a cut on his chest.

"Benny, we need to go back."

"No honey, we need to get going." He laid back in his seat closing his eyes in the process. I looked over the children and they were fast asleep. Both Rhia and the baby were holding hands as they slept. It was a cute sight and I wondered if they were going to be that close when they were older.

I cried silently to myself so I wouldn't wake up the kids and Benny. Even though me and Remy didn't know each other for that long I still had some love for him. Him and Benny both saved me and my children's lives. I don't know where I would be if it wasn't for them.

Remy made me feel as if I was beautiful and that I mattered. While Jionni on the other hand made me feel like I was worthless.

I keep asking myself why didn't I fight or try to get away. I let him beat me, rape me, and mistreat me. When I was kidnapped I didn't fight. On the day of the wedding I didn't run or even try to get away. I had so many opportunities to run.

Did anyone notice I was gone?

Did they contact law enforcement when I disappeared for weeks, months, and even years?

Did anyone fucking care?

Rhia started to stir in her sleep. I wiped my tears away and took a deep breath. No child should have to see their mother cry. I am going to be strong for my children.

It has been 2 months since Jionni and Remy's death and everyone is doing good. JR (Jionni Jr.) is learning how to walk but sometimes he falls down. Rhia is more talkative and loves to talk about her favorite Disney princesses.

Us four have been living with Jionni's mother Marianna in Italy. Instead of going to South America we decided to stay with Marianna. Marianna is a sweet woman and she is very good with her grandchildren. Both JR and Rhia love her to death.

We were now sitting outside on the patio drinking lemonade and children play. It was a beautiful day about 70°F. Benny was holding JR's hands as he walked and Rhia was having her own private tea party with her stuffed animals.

A month ago I found out I was pregnant with Remy's baby. I am happy but at the same time I am sad because Remy won't be able to meet his son or daughter. But with the help of Benny and Marianna I will get through it.

Life is good.

"Is anybody home?" I heard a deep familiar voice. Everyone turned their attention to the patio doors.

"Who's there?" Marianna said furrowing her eyebrows in confusion and standing up to see.

"It's me!"

Standing right there with a smile on his face was the devil himself Jionni....
