THE MAFIA’S CAPTIVE ANGEL

“Zoey.” I gasped out of disbelief. My eyes widen at the person in front of me.

“In the flesh,” she answered with a smirk on her face.

“What’s going on? Why are you here?” I asked in a voice that I hoped would hide the panic I was feeling inside.

“Oh, come on, Mani. Do you really have to ask me that? You can’t be that dense.” She asked with a smug smile.

“Why… why are you doing this?” I stutter out, my eyes blurry.

“I don’t know Mani; why would I do this?” she said, with a creepy smile. She keeps answering every question with a question of her own, with her hands crossed together.

“What do you want? Why would you do something like this?” I think she was done playing because the look in her eyes changed.

“What do I want? You are seriously asking me when you are the cause of everything.” She screamed. She looked like a complete lunatic, totally different from the Zoey I knew. I couldn’t believe my eyes, even with her standing in front of me and

I felt the ping of a needle numb my heart. “If I have done something wrong to hurt you, please forgive, but there are better ways to sort things out than this.” I tried to reason with her, hoping to see the Zoey I once knew.

“You took him from me; you just swapped right past and took him from me without knowing your place.” She seethed at the last part with venom.

Who was she talking about? What did I take from her?

“What do you mean I took him from you?” I asked her.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Sin was mine first. I saw him first.” She spats.

Sin.

She was doing all this for Sin.

Was she in love with him?

“Sin?” I was baffled. “I thought you said you were in love with his brother, Alexander.”

“I couldn’t give two shits about Alexander; I wanted to use him to get to Sin, but that old man ruined everything. He found out about my obsession with Sin and wanted me out of their lives, so I thought of another way to stay, and that was getting pregnant with that asshole child when all I wanted was Sin. ” She finished with a sick smile.

I have never seen Zoey with a child before. If things didn’t turn out like she expected, what about the baby?

“I know you must be wondering what happened to the baby. It helped better when it was gone than being alive.” When she says “gone,” does she mean dead? I gasped out, looking at her like she had grown two heads.

“Did you kill your child, Zoey?” I asked, fearful of what her response might be.

“I had a miscarriage, but who cares? I didn’t even want the baby.” Sin must have felt concerned after the miscarriage and asked me to move in with him. All this shows how much he is in love with me-until you came and ruined everything,” she says with a deadly look in her eyes.

She was obviously delusional and obsessed with Sin.

“You know what happened between Sin and me. Before I fell in love with him, I never wanted this. You yourself told me what a good person he was.”

“Yeah, that was because I thought he was going to get over whatever sick obsession he had with you and end up dumping you back in the ditch where he was found, or better yet, kill you, but no. You must have cast a spell on him to make him head over heels for you, but not anymore. I’m going to be the one to end it. I’m the only one fit to be by his side. He doesn’t need you or that whore Luna, but me; I’m the one who deserves to be donna.” Her eyes looked unsettling.

“What happened to you, Zoey? You were never like this.” I said it in a defeated tone.

She got in front of me and grabbed my cheeks with her hand. Squeezing it tightly, she said, “I have always been like this; you guys were just too stupid to realize it. I never once considered you a friend; you were just another whore to warm Sin’s bed, but now you have overstayed your welcome, and to top it all off, you had to get pregnant with that brat in your stomach.”

“You were the one Jason was talking about-the one who set me up.”

“I had to get rid of you in a way that Sin wouldn’t even bat an eye, and don’t worry, I will make sure to take care of him. With him, me, and the baby in your womb, we will all be one big happy family,” she says, and that’s when I realized the look in her eyes I had gotten used to.

“You are crazy,” I spat at her.

“Oh, darling, I believe that fact has been established,” she said with a fake smile, taking a step back from me.

She gave me one last look before turning to make her way out. She laughed maniacally as she made her way out of the room. Stefano tied my hands behind my back, took the plate, and walked out of the room as well.

I can’t stay here; I must protect my baby. I need to tell Sin everything. I scanned the room, looking for anything that I could use to free myself, but I didn’t see anything, so I decided to pull my hands together, squeezing them together to make them smaller. I bit down on my lips to stop myself from screaming out loud.

Blood poured down from the side of my mouth as I kept pulling. I was sure I had broken my hands, but I had no other choice.
