Marcus's jaw dropped as his eyes suddenly went wide with fear. He started to tremble as his fears became real and he spoke in a terrified tone.
"Rick is your boyfriend's uncle? Are you shitting me now? Oh god, the hell am I gonna do?"
She sits back down seeing his panicked expression. "Roman promised you would be safe. He swore it...trust me."
Marcus took a deep breath and closed his eyes to clear off all the fear and panic his mind was filled with. He slowly opened his eyes again and he spoke in a gentle and calmer tone.
"I trust you sis. If Roman says that I'm safe then he knows what he's talking about. You're right."
"Just hang in there...I'll do my best to ensure that you are out of here ASAP."
Marcus couldn't help but feel so relieved and thankful when she said this. It helped calm his nerves and it truly meant a lot to him. He spoke in a more happy and optimistic tone while also giving her a tight and warm hug.
"Thank you, sis. That means the world to me. I know that if you can't do it then there is nobody else who can help me. I know that you will do your best to get me out."
*********************
Megan walked into the mansion garden looking for Roman. Someone told her he was talking to some of his men out there and she wanted to suprise him.
"Hey my love-"
"This is what betraying me gets you!" Roman yells opening fire.
Megan is too stunned to continue talking when she sees Roman shoot a man in the back of his head. The man was tied up and beaten up before hand.
Megan's heart almost skipped a beat as she heard what Roman just said. She didn't expect what she saw either. The moment the man fell dead on the ground her heart ached in pain as she saw Roman pointing the gun at him with the most angry look on his face. She wanted to say something but she was so stunned and shocked she just couldn't. Her mind was racing with so many thoughts and feelings but she was left too speechless to say anything in that moment.
"Sir...Miss Megan is here." His bodyguard points out to Roman.
Roman's eyes snapped away from the man on the ground and as soon as he saw Megan his entire demeanor instantly changed. His expression looked more fearful and nervous as he immediately hid the gun behind his back and he spoke in a nervous but gentle tone.
"Megan I-...oh god, did you just see what I did?"
She runs back to the house feeling her body shaking. This was something she wished she didn't see. The look on Roman's face when he pulled that trigger scared her so much but it was imprinted in her mind.
Once he saw her start running, he ran back into the house after her. He managed to catch up with her and grabbed her arm. He stopped her with a firm grip on her arm and he spoke in a more comforting and soothing tone.
"Hey, hey! Calm down. It's ok, don't worry about it. I just did what I had to do. Don't worry love."
She yanks her arm away. "Don't talk about murder like it's something casual! That person had his life! A family that will never see him again."
Roman grew more defensive when she reacted this way. He couldn't help but feel a little frustrated due to her lack of understanding of this lifestyle. This was how he was taught and he couldn't change that. He felt a strong urge to say something back to her in an angry tone but he knew she was right. She was just being upset because of what she saw and he needed to remember that.
"I know love. But you got to realize that's just how it is out there. People are evil. I did what I had to do."
"You don't seem like a saint to me."
He instantly froze when she said this. He couldn't help but feel completely destroyed by her words here. He was taken aback by what she said and he had nothing to say back. For a moment his world came to a stop and all he could do was stare at her blankly.
Megan realises her words may have been abit too harsh. Roman was clearly hurt by her words.
"Sorry Roman. I shouldn't have said that."
Roman was still upset but he could see that she regretted her words. His angry expression changed into one of sorrow as his lips pouted up a bit.
"Is that how you really see me now? As a bad person?"
"No. Roman. I love you. I just got scared seeing you like that."
His expression instantly brightened up as soon as she spoke those words. He didn't doubt her feelings for him at all. He just needed to hear that from her own mouth. He felt relieved to know that she still loved him. His sorrowful expression instantly disappeared and he smiled while he spoke in a more soft and gentle tone.
"It's ok. I promise you, I'll never hurt you. I would never do that to the woman I love."
She looks up at him. Studying his handsome face. Wondering if he would never really hurt her as he claimed. She didn't want to think badly of him but he was a man that was unpredictable and anything could happen.
"I know." She smiles, "Just...kiss me now."
Roman didn't need to be asked twice. He didn't hesitate to pull her close to him and pulled her into a long and tight kiss. With each movement he made, he made sure she felt safe and loved. He wanted her to love him just as much as he loved her and he wanted to show her all his affection.
*******************
This morning had been productive for Megan as she had been able to work out and make herself healthy breakfast before heading to school for her morning lectures. She had been alittle behind with school because of her getting shot and trying to heal emotionally and phyiscally. She had kept it to herself how messed up she felt after what happened. She didn't want to give Roman another reason to hate his brother.
She still could not believe all this crazy things happened in her life and it was overwhelming to think about at times.
Megan had kept her inner feelings hidden afraid of what would happen if she let her inner thoughts out. She had been so overwhelmed with everything she took a break from work after Roman insisted on it saying she would be better off relaxing at home.
Her boss Rogen who was usually an ass but let her take the break surprisingly. Rogen had said a few racist things to black men visiting the bar and even called them the n-word. Megan always wanted to stand up to him but knew she would lose her onlu source of income if she dared to.
"Hey Lola." Megan said to her friend pulling a chair beside her.
Megan had come to have lunch alone thinking Natty and Lola were not at school today but when she saw her friends fiery red hair in the cafeteria a huge smile landed on her face. She was glad she wouldn't have to eat alone.
Lola turned to face her as she instantly recognized her voice. She smiled as she noticed Megan coming over to join her for lunch. They always had fun during their lunch break and Megan loved her company.
"Megan! I'm glad you came to join me today. It feels really lonely when you're not around."
Megan pouts holding Lola's hand. "Babes you know how hectic my life gets ever since I met Roman." She didn't want to dump all her issues on her friend and ruin the mood today. She wanted to enjoy a fun lunch with her girl.
"Oh I do know. I know it all too well. I'm sure this whole dating a mafia boss is a bit much for you right?"
"Mafia boss? He does give that vibe doesn't he?" She laughs awkwardly trying to think of anything else to talk about.
Megan knew many people suspected Roman and his business. She had made sure to not talk about that with her friends but lola seemed to have made her own investigation.
"In all seriousness Lola its best we dont talk about that."
Lola laughed a bit as she leaned in closer towards Megan since she didn't want anyone else hearing them talk.
"Oh I know. I'm not dumb. I know he's a mafia boss. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I'm pretty good at keeping a secret. So is your relationship going well?"
Megan doesn't want to talk further about his job so she thinks shifting the conversation would be better.
"It's fine."
"Hmm...seems like you're holding back. Is everything really ok between you two?"
"I'm learning new things about him everyday." She tries to find the words to say that dont make it sound like everything is negative. "Roman is complex." He also kills people like nothing.
Lola knew her friend well enough to sense that she wasn't telling her the complete truth. She knew she loved Roman but it seems something happened that she wasn't ready to talk about yet.
"Complex? How so?"
"Lola...Let's talk about something else. How are you these days how's your mom?"
Lola knew she was avoiding the topic. She seemed to be upset with something but she just didn't wanna say it. She just wanted to keep it away from her mind and have a bit of fun.
"Oh me? I'm doing great. Just you know, usual everyday life. Got my friends, got my hobbies. Got nothing to complain about. Oh, my mom is fine. Same as always I guess. Nothing to say about her really."
Megan looks at her seeing some sadness in her friends face. Her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer a few months ago and Lola was put into even more pressure to provide for her family.
"Is she handling the chemotherapy okay?"
Lola instantly tensed up as she was quickly reminded about her mother's cancer. She had been able to block it out of her mind but her friend just pulled her back into it.
"She's fine. She's...she's fine..."
Her voice was shaky as she spoke but she tried to keep a strong tone so she didn't have to worry her friend too much.
"Are you?"
Lola quickly tried to suppress the emotions she was feeling as she grew more and more sad as Megan asked these questions.
"Yeah...I'm fine...don't worry about me..I will manage."
The two girls fall into a silence. Megan knew her friend was suffering but didn't know how to help and Lola believed Megan was worried about something but kept it to herself. They were worried about each other but suffered silently.
*******************************
Megan arrived at Roman's house an hour after her afternoon classes ended. She ran to her office after finally deciding to ask for his help with Lola's mother's chemotherapy bills. She knew the money wouldn't be a big deal to him. He would give her the starts if she asked for it.
As she was about to open his office door she heard Jack's uneasy voice.
"Roman. You did not need to hire people to murder Gene's wife. She was innocent! I know he sold us out to the Russians but-"
"You know that I don't take betrayal lightly!" Roman shouts making Megan freeze by te door as she continues to listen in.
This is something Megan has heard before.His words left her shocked and speechless. She quickly realized how cruel and harsh he could be when something didn't go his way. His voice made her realize that perhaps there was more to this man than she originally thought.
"Sometimes you are too ruthless!" Jack said. "Apollo would have stopped you if he were here."
Megan became more and more scared as she kept listening to the conversation between her boyfriend and his right hand man. It was apparent that she was starting to figure out how dangerous and ruthless her boyfriend could be. Yet she still loved him. However she wasn't too sure about if she could handle hearing this again. She was starting to get scared about what could happen to her if she ever betrayed him.
"Roman."
Megan finally decides to show herself. She enters his office and smiles at Jack politely.
Both Roman and Jack turned to look at her as soon as her presence was made. Roman was surprised to see her and he tried to hide his anger by speaking in a calm and gentle tone.
"Hey baby. What happened?"
"Sorry to interrupt but I wanted to talk to you."
Roman quickly hid his anger and nodded towards her.
"That's perfectly fine. What did you wanna talk to me about?"
Jack gets up, "I'll leave first. Please calm your boyfriend megan. He can be wild sometimes and fierce."
Megan chuckles softly watching Jack walk out of the office.
As soon as Jack left, Roman looked back at her with a serious expression on his face.
"So what did you wanna talk about? Is it something important?"
"Not particularly but kinda. Roman. I'll get straight to the point."
She gulps before finally blurting it out. "I was hoping you could fund my best friend's mother's chemotherapy."
For a moment Roman's eyes widened with shocked but he soon regained his composure. He smiled at her a bit.
"Oh, that's all you wanted? I thought it was something more serious than that. Don't worry, I don't mind at all. I'll have one of my people arrange the funds for your friend."
She jumps into his arms happily. She hugs him tightly thanking him repeatedly. "This means the world to me. Thank you!"
He was surprised at her sudden show of affection but he didn't mind it at all. He gladly held her close and hugged her while speaking in a gentle and caring tone.
"Don't worry about it. It's the least I could do for you and your friend. I'm just really glad you're happy. That's all that matters to me. Anything else?"
She thinks to herself before smirking, "let's go to the bedroom."
