The Missing Mafia Princess

Chapter 48

He raised the bat up and then brought it down and it came in contact with Kevin's leg again. He place the bat down and backed away from the table. I grabbed his wrist and pulled him out of the room then made sure the door was closed and locked behind us.

I took Alessandro to the gym. "I'll wait out here until you're done." I said making him kiss my head and walk inside.

I leaned against the wall then slid down the wall until my butt came in contact with the floor.

After, an hour of Alessandro releasing his anger onto the punching bag and I was in my room with Alessandro and Luca, Maddie who was sleeping beside Luca.

Alessandro were sitting on the floor at the end of my bed drinking fire ball. "I don't know why I never drank this, because this is smooth to drink." He said making me agree with him.

"Can I have some?" Luca asked making Alessandro pass him the bottle.

"Don't tell dad." Alessandro said making me laugh.

"I won't, you're the best brother." Luca said making Alessandro smile.

"I better be." He said making Luca nod his head.

Luca handed the bottle back to Alessandro and laid back down. There was a knock at the door and Lorenzo walked in. "Dad ordered take out and got Maddie a happy meal." He said then walked out.

I stood up and walked over to Maddie and shook her gently. "Maddie, baby are you hungry?" I asked.

She shook her head yeah and I picked her up and we walked downstairs to the dining area. We entered the dining area and I sat down with Maddie in my lap.

She looked down at her lap. "They won't hurt you sweet pea." I said which made her nod her head.

She noticed the happy meal on the table and looked at me which I reached over and grabbed it then sat it in front of her. She reached into the box and grabbed the chicken nuggets out and started eating them.

"Princess, did you want someone to go with you tomorrow to the grocery store for Maddie?" Lorenzo asked.

"Yeah, that would be great." I said making Dad nod his head then Matteo spoke up.

"I'll go with her." Matteo said making Dad nod his head.

"Okay, Alessandro goes with you guys as well." Dad said making Matteo and I nod our heads.

I wasn't hungry so, I didn't eat and I just waited patiently for Maddie to finish eating. She shoved a fry in her mouth while still chewing a nugget making me take her chicken nuggets.

"Baby, eat your fries right now. You're eating too much at once." I told Maddie who nodded her head.

"You are so good with kids, princess." Dad said making me smile.

Maddie grabbed the box making me confused until she pulled out a chocolate milk. "Can you open this, please." She said handing me the chocolate milk.

"Of course, sweet pea." I said grabbing the chocolate milk out of her hand and opening it then sat it on the table which she grabbed and took a sip out of it then placed it down on the table.

I grabbed it and screwed the lid back on. "I'm full." She said making me look to see all her fries gone and only two chicken nuggets left.

"You ate good, baby. Let's get you to bed." I said scooting the chair back and then standing while holding Maddie.

I threw her trash in the box then Lorenzo reached over and took the box from me making me glare at him. "I can get that you, know." I said making him nod his head.

"Yeah, but after last night and today you both need sleep, so I got it." He said making me smile then walked out of the dining room with Maddie in my arms.

I walked up the stairs then walked to my bedroom door and twisted the doorknob, opened the door. I walked inside and closed the door behind me then I sat her on the bed and walked over to her bag.

I grabbed her sleeping clothes out of her bag and walked over to her. "Can you get dressed by yourself or do you need help?" I asked her.

"I can do it but I need help with the shirt." She said making me nod my head.

"Arms up, sweet pea." I said making her throw her arms up and I grabbed the hem of her shirt then pulled the shirt over her head.

My eyes went immediately to her chest and I saw a small scar on her heart making my heart break. I sent her a small smile then helped put her shirt on then I handed her the bottoms to go with them and she slid off the ones she was wearing.

She slid into the other pair and I lifted her up then laid her in my bed. There was a knock at the door making my head jerk to see Matteo. "You two are sleeping with me tonight." He said making me nod my head.

"Sweet pea, we're gonna go sleep with Matteo tonight okay. I need you to go with him while I change into my sleeping clothes." I said making her smile then take off running to Matteo who picked her up.

He sent me a smile then walked out and I pulled my phone out and called Nick.

"Baby girl, what's wrong?" Nick answered.

"Why does Maddie have a scar on her heart and don't lie to me Nick, my heart broke when I saw it." I said as I walked into my closet.

"Our mother did drugs while Maddie was still in her and it made her heart weak." Nick said making my blood boil.

"Does she have episodes?" I spoke into the phone.

"Not recently, a year ago before we took her in she had multiple episodes." Nick said making my heart break again, just thinking about what that poor little girl has been through.

"Your mom probably didn't treat Maddie well and that's why she had episodes. I got her now and I'm going to do everything in power to keep that beautiful girl happy." I said while I changed into night clothes.

"I know you will, baby. She's a lot happier since she met you," Nick said making me smile.

"I'll talk to you tomorrow, she's in Matteo's room waiting for me." I said.

"Okay good night baby, tell Maddie I said I love her and miss her." Nick said making me smile.

"I will, good night." I said then hung up the phone and walked out of my closet then walked to Matteo's room.

I walked in to see Maddie laying in the bed beside Matteo sleeping. Matteo looked up from the paperwork that he was working on and smiled.

I walked to the other side of his bed and climbed in beside Maddie and she moved herself closer to me which brought a smile to my face.

I kissed her head and she turned around and laid her head on my chest. "Good night, sweet pea." I whispered then kissed her head again.

Matteo sat the paperwork on his nightstand then laid down himself and turned off the lights. "Good night, Tesoro." Matteo said.

"Good night, Fratello." I said then closed my eyes and darkness consumed me quick.
