Tainted

The ocean

Mateo rapidly stood at full height, looking down at her as he seethed.

"I'll get someone to call for you when I need you to suck my cock, other than that, leave me alone".

She gaped in shock, watching him retrieve back inside the manor with his back to her.

A need to yell after him ignited within her.

Insult, scream, cry, anything to gain the dignity she felt she had lost in the moment.

though it was of no use, she had no real clue where she was on the map and she had no way of leaving without Mateo allowing her to.

Capri was once again that seventeen year old girl Mateo thought he possessed.

*

He couldn't do more than fifteen push-ups.

His chest was aching in pain by the time he was done.

Mateo rose to full height as he took in deep breaths, hands on his hips as he cursed to himself repeatedly in Italian.

He was a weak man.

From the Don who mercilessly killed to keep things in order, to a weak man hiding from society.

He would never be able to protect Capri in this state if needed.

The doors of his home gym loudly opened.

Tony walked in casually with a small smile on his face.

"Everything has fallen into place, it's time for me to leave".

Mateo averted his gaze.

"Good, thanks for everything".

Tony raised a brow as his eyes skimmed his best friend's features.

"You good"?

"No, but it's none of your concern, go home to Tatiana, you have done enough".

Mateo now fully turned back around to look at his right hand man since he became Don thirteen years ago at the age of twenty one.

At the time he was only a young man who knew his way around a gun far too well.

"We made it out of alive Mateo, both happy and alive". Tony said as the realization settled in.

"It's been a pleasure and whatever problem you're dealing with, let Capri help you, she's chosen you, nobody else".

Mateo let his words sink in, his shallow breaths dissipating as his friend embraced him in a brotherly hug that he eventually reciprocated.

"I love you".

"Me too".

They gave each other one last hug before Tony turned on his heel and walked out of the gym, leaving Mateo alone on the island with the only woman he has wanted but now found himself pushing away.

*

Capri had said her goodbyes to Tony before Mateo.

She now found herself behind the giant helicopter that patiently waited for the big man.

Subliminally, Capri intended to sneak her way in without the pilot noticing.

She took a step forward, quickly retracting when the pilot turned on his step, he casually spoke on the phone as he moved about.

More waiting ensued before the aeronaut once again turned on his heel to face the front, laughing at whatever he was told from the other end of the call.

Capri jumped forward, leaping into the rotorcraft as she snuck into the backseat like a cat.

A heavy sigh escaped her lips, silently thanking the gods.

"All set"?

"All set".

The voices resounded as she recognized Tony's.

Capri scrunched her face in tension, her nerves striving to take control while she inhaled and exhaled to stay serene.

The seats in front of her jiggled as Tony sat in, leaning on them as far as they would allow him to while he squished the life out of Capri who widened her eyes at her new discomfort as fear ran through her when the seats wouldn't stop tramping her.

They finally reached their limit, giving her the opportunity to readjust herself.

The attempt was made but now Tony fought against the uncomfortable seats as he unknowingly brawled with the discomfort Capri's figure was installing in him from behind.

"Fucking shit".

Tony elbowed the seat violently, hitting Capri on the side of her head.

Her hand covered her mouth, stopping herself from howling in pain as her free hand caressed her temple, she silently cursed the giant.

Ten minutes had passed and the helicopter finally started to take off after the engine roared to life.

Capri waited, catching a glimpse of the outside as the ground started to seem farther by the second, she covered her ears at the sound of the rotary wings.

Now she knew why the headsets were used.

A few more minutes passed by, now flying over the ocean which Capri took as the opportunity to reveal herself.

She jumped out, startling Tony who gave out a high pitched scream before swinging at her, he missed as she quickly dodged the hit.

"What the fuck Capri"! He yelled over the sound of the strong wind.

"I'm leaving with you"!

"You can't, Mateo is going to kill me"!

"Too late"!

Capri aimed at sitting down but was quickly pulled away by the arm as Tony threw a life jacket over her head.

"Let me go you fucking Gorilla"!

She fought him off as best as she could, her legs flailing before looking behind herself.

The deep blue ocean underneath them came into view.

"Tony stop you're scaring me"!

He wouldn't let her go, grabbing her legs to keep them still as he secured the life jacket into place.

"What's going on back there"!

"Mind your fucking business and do your job"! Tony yelled before lifting his hand to slap Capri harshly on the face.

"I'm doing this for your own good, if you're out of here, you're dead"!

Her eyes widened as realization hit her core.

Tony had each one of his hands on her face, staring into her eyes intently as a small 'sorry' escaped his lips before he gave her a kiss on her forehead and harshly pushed her out.

Time had slowed down for her, desperation, terror and anxiety eating away at her chest as the wind hit with force, striking her face as it removed the ability of opening her eyes to fully inspect her surroundings.

Her arms reached out for Tony as he looked down at her from above, an apologetic expression etched on his face that disappeared from her peripheral as the distance between the two became greater by the millisecond.

"I'm going to fucking kill you"! She yelled, her words disappearing from his hearing distance before she felt the water engulf her completely.
