Betrayal

Part 27; I love you

I parked my car in front of Frances mansion and he smiled opening the door for me. "Now this is a woman." He twirled me around and pulled me to him.

"Not yours." I pushed myself off him and opened the doors for myself.

"Lord give me some mercy." He grabbed my ass.

"No touching Frances." I walked to the jail cells. "Now leave." I closed the doors behind him and walked to the one where Ace was and looked at him through the small window. He was sitting in a corner, his hair was long and he had a beard. He looked dirty and his white shirt was filled with blood.

I opened the door and he didn't look over to see who it was. "I told you I'm still not saying anything.
Just kill me but my family stays untouched."

"Valentino?" I said and he looked over to me fully unrecognizable. His face was bruised up with old and new blood.

His eyes blurred and a tear rolled down his cheek. He looked at me in disgust and looked away.

I walked out and looked for a maid. Finally finding one. "Can you bring me a shaver, some wet towels,
A bucket of water, some rubbing alcohol, and clean men clothes." She nodded and quickly walked away. I sat down waiting for her and that guilt came back.

The maid finally walked back with all the things. "Thank you." I ran back with all the things and opened the jail door.

"Why do you come back?" He asked me a question not even I can answer so I place everything down and sat next to him.

I grabbed the towel and cleaned up all the blood around him letting me see his face. My eyes watered as I cleaned him up.

I smiled slowly as I saw his face I knew. His strong features. The damage was there but his looks always stay. As I brushed his hair he pulled me closer and kissed me. His soft lips touched mine and I didn't stop him.

Until the door flew open. "I knew it!" Frances laughed. I quickly stood up and pushed him harshly. "I'M DOING WHAT YOU ASKED BUT I WANT HIM TO STAY UNTOUCHED IF I COME BACK AND SEE
HIM LIKE THIS AGAIN! I would take that place off your heart because you will regret meeting me!" I yelled.

"Fine princess. Continue this romance you have. But I need my job done. It's already 6pm you need to be in that club getting drunk at 9pm at most." he closed the door.

"Where are you going An-Estella?"

"Just keeping you alive comes with a price."

"Who understands you. You want me alive but are also the reason I'm here?"

"I've seen you are not the person I thought but that doesn't mean you don't deserve what you're getting."

"Getting tortured than killed by another mafia boss? By a man who's worse than me. I don't traffic woman and kids. Yes I have strippers and prositutes who I sell. But ask each of them there not forced to be there."

I stayed quiet and stood up. "I don't know when I will see you again. I know I did wrong in bringing
you here."

"So help me escape."

"I'm pregnant," I said and he made a confused face.

"Congrats tell your boyfriend that. What does that have to do with my escape?"

"The baby might be yours. I only slept with him once during this time. But you..." His eyes widened and he looked at my belly.

"So more reasons to let me go. Help me." He said.

"I can't. But I will make sure Frances doesn't hurt you." I walked away and he slowly stood up. His body was thinner and his muscles weren't as toned. He was paler than usual too.

He grabbed my hand with less strength and put his hand on my waist kissing me softly. "I love you, Estella." I quickly ran outside and closed the door. Did he just?

My mind scrambled with my decisions and I ran to Frances's office. "I want him to be fed well, no more torture, and even less his death."

"I agreed to all of this already but I don't see you working your part."

"Ok, what do I do?"

"This is Fransico Monserrat." He handed me a picture of a blond handsome man. "He's someone that has to be dead by tonight. No matter what you have to do. I'm supposedly his friend so I'm sending him a prositute, which is you. You kill him and your job is done. But act as if I'm his friend doing him a huge favor."

"So he thinks I'm the prositute your sending?"

"Correct. Heres the address of the club your going to
Meet in, here's the picture take it and be careful because he's a dirty politician who can tell when someone is not on his side."

"I know this isn't my first rodeo with people like him." I grabbed everything. "When the next
Job?"

"Friday."

"Ok so see you Friday and I hope to see Ace in better conditions." I left for my car.

I breathed in and out trying to get my mind off of Valentino's words and the facts that.

I also love him.
