Chapitre 14: UNCLE LUCA
"Do you think we should call the Don?"
"No Mario, that wouldn't be necessary"
"But she isn't concious yet. Well he said he's coming over already"
" ........"
I kept hearing incoherent words in my head, while I battled to lift open my eyes. Who's Mario?
I finally opened my eyes, but groaned and quickly closed it again when my eyes came in contact with the rays of sunlight coming in through the window just above where I laid.
"Did you hear that Lessandro?"
"She's awake?"
"Definitely"
"Hey" I whispered to the huge men who were already in front of me in record time.
"Good morning Madame"
O.. Kay, why the Madame? I tried getting up but the sharp throbbing pain that hit my head got my butt back on the bed, as I clutched my head that felt like it was going to fall any time soon.
"Here, Ma'am, this will help?"
The second guy offered me a glass of water and a pill, probably a pain killer.
"Uhmmm, thanks" I replied collecting the pill and water. I internally rejoiced as the warm water came in contact with my dry throat, calming the soreness I was feeling there.
"Please where am I?" I asked the question that had been nudging at me since I woke up in this strange place. I wouldn't lie, I felt scared waking up to two huge men whispering about some Don. I haven't even seen Oliver....Oliver!! Where the hell is...?
Just then the flashbacks of the last night came flooding my head.
I jumped off the gigantic bed immediately, not minding the turmoil my head was going through at that moment. All I wanted to know was if Oliver was safe.
"Any problem Madame"
The two men rushed towards me as I jumped of the bed startling them.
"Don't touch me!" I ordered the men, who were sharing confused looks between themselves. Were they kidding me right now? Acting confused, just after kidnapping me a night before. Unbelievable!!
"Where is Oliver? Where's my husband?"
I asked them with all boldness I could muster.
"Madame calm..."
"Don't call me that! If it's money you want, just give me your damn phone and let me make a call, just one call and you will have all the money you want. But first, just assure me that Oliver is not hurt"
"Can you calm down please. The boss is fine."
"What boss are you talking about?" I asked getting irritated
"Sorry ermm" he cleared his throat "Mr Oliver is fine of course. We can't hurt him."
"Okayyyy, so just give me your phone, I will make a call, and we will forget this whole drama took place"
"We are sorry Madame, but we can't put you on a call for now."
"And why is that? Can I atleast get to see my husband?" I was worried sick about Oliver at that point in time. He was just the only person I wanted to see.
"The Don ordered us to"
"And who the fuck is this Don of yours!!?"
I was already getting frustrated. I just couldn't understand why I would be kidnapped during my honeymoon, by some crazy Don.
The door flung open then and the person I saw, I wasn't expecting. Infact I was terrified!
I just stood still where I was. He was supposed to be dead, I attended the funeral. I had started seeing things now, how the hell was this possible. Could this crazy drama just come to an end already.
He also stood looking at me, without a single emotion showing on his ever flawless face. Slowly his lips twisted into a smile as he walked towards me and I couldn't even move backwards. I stood rooted on the spot I was as the tears that had already welled up in my eyes came pouring like a waterfall.
This same man who read me my bedtime stories, the same man who got me the best birthday gifts every single year. The man who it took me 3 long months of rehabilitation to get stabilized, after his supposed demise. Uncle Luca.
The only thing I knew I felt at that moment was the comfort in the arms of this man I so much missed. I sobbed hysterically as he gently patted my back so patiently. This was definitely my Uncle Luca.
"It's okay princess, it's fine..."
He cooed continuously. I didn't even realize we were on the floor with me on his laps. The only thing I felt was his embrace. He even still smelled the same way. Fresh mint and sandalwood.
After about half an hour of crying and completely calming down, I looked up into his eyes and said the first word since he stepped into this room.
"Uncle Luca, it's really you?"
I said but it sounded like a question.
"Yes it's me princess"
"Why did you leave me. Why did you go away. I was so sad"
"I didn't leave you my Angel. Come on, stand up let's talk. There's a lot you need to know. I'm very sure you are wondering what I'm doing here"
I slowly got up and sat down on the bed with Uncle Luca sitting on a couch by the bed side.
"So what's going on Uncle?"
I asked weakly, I so was exhausted from this tears marathon.
"Okay... Let me start with the fact that I'm still alive of course" He chuckled. Still very funny I see. I smiled without even realizing.
"The truth is that I didn't really die, I had to be hidden my dear." At this point, I had some many questions that needed answers, but I assumed, uncle Luca would appreciate it if I just listened. So I kept quiet.
"I had to go low for a while to avoid being killed. I had something that a rival group also wanted. By the word rival group, I mean a rival 'Mafia family'."
My breath hitched immediately. What the fuck was going on.
"So we had to frame my death by murder. We knewing using something like a car accident, wasn't going to be easily believed. It would be more believable if they thought another rival group got me killed"
"Now, I know you are wondering the 'we' I kept on saying. By we, I mean our whole family" My eyes widened as the size of saucers. Is this what I was thinking?
"Yes, Princess. Debbie your momma, and my brother, your father, run the strongest and most powerful Mafia gang here in America."
"What are you saying!!? Like I belong to a mafia family and I have never known anything about it? Even Oliver's family doesn't have any idea? Impossible!! I don't even know who I am any longer"
"I'm not done" Uncle Luca informed looking unperturbed at the least. Wow!
"So there's more?"
"Definitely. Your parents head the strongest mafia gang in America, alongsides The Grants family"
"Oh wonderful wonders!!" I just couldn't believe this.
"So we the children aren't aware of this or what?"
"No, the only people who weren't aware, were you and Harrieth. The two princesses of the Joint Mafia family." He said smiling as wide as possible. Okay now, that wasn't funny. I don't get to be royal princess, but a Mafia princess instead!!?
"Don't act disgusted, will you? It's bad ass to be a mafia princess" Did he just say bad ass?
"Did you really say bad ass? Bad ass when I don't have a single belt in Judo, Taekwando or karate. I can't even defend myself and you talk about being bad ass? So funny."
"So you tryna say when you get a black belt in karate or Judo or Taekwando, you wouldn't deny being a bad ass Mafia princess and you would be proud of being one" He teased. God this man knew me so much. I definitely found being a Mafia princess bad ass. But it was just so much to take in, in a day."
"So only I and Harrieth were ignorant of this. And I wonder how Oliver and our brothers took care of all this stuff without being suspicious. Wow! I'm amazed. Harrieth is definitely going to throw a fit when she gets to know about this."
"Believe me, Harrieth threatened to burn Jake's car Last night. She found out yesterday" Uncle Luca burst into a fit of laughter.
"Harrieth would never cease to amaze me!! She's my best friend but sometimes she's too crazy to understand. How would burning the car help matters?" I joined in the laughing spree
"She definitely used the opportunity to pay back for something he might have done wrong to her. I know my princesses well enough." He said in between laughs.
"So true!!" I laughed harder as I realised it.
