The Mafia And His Queen

Chapter 11 - 🖤

"She most likely will when Lily is old enough. She just doesn't want her growing up knowing that her birth mother didn't give a shit about her." She replies while crossing her arms over her chest.

I stay silent for a few moments, never taking my eyes off of Roxie's sleeping form. After what feels like forever, I tell Vanessa, "I'm going to lay her down in her bed and then I'm going to leave."

I stand up with Roxie in my arms and carry her bridal style to her bedroom. Vanessa stays back in the living room.

Laying Roxie down on her bed, I tuck her in and as I'm about to walk away, I feel her grab my hand. I look back at her and see her looking up at me through sleepy eyes.

Then she speaks to me in a low and tired voice, "Don't leave me, please."

I release a breath and sit down next to her as I run my fingers through her hair, "I'm not going to leave you, amore."

She snuggles in closer to my side and falls back to sleep. After a couple of minutes, she stirs and lets out a small groan. Her brows are pulled together and she looks like she's having a bad dream.

I lay down next to her and wrap an arm around her body. She instantly stops moving and I whisper near her ear, "I know there's more that you're not telling me but I'll find out what that is soon, il mio amore."

I wait for a few more minutes before I get up and make my way back into the hallway. I'm about to leave but I pause by Lily's door which is cracked open.

Walking inside of her room, I kneel by her bed quietly. She's sound asleep with her stuffed animal in her arms. I pull her blanket more up and tuck her in as well before I kiss the top of her head.

"Goodnight, princess." I say softly with a slight smile tugging at my lips.

I walk back into the hallway and think to myself... how the hell did I get here? I'm a fucking mafia boss and yet here I am, tucking two girls into bed. One a full-grown woman and the other a tiny child.

I should be torturing my enemies right now. Cutting their tongues out so they can't talk and putting their hands in acid so they can't feel. I should be going on a damn killing spree.

What are they doing to me? This isn't what I do but I find myself wanting to do this for them. I want to make my girls happy and spoil the fuck out of them.

I want to do this as much as possible because I don't know what's going to happen when she finds out who I am. I don't know if she's going to hate me or if she's going to want me out of her life for good.

Sighing, I say goodbye to Vanessa before leaving and making my way home.

•Unknown's POV ~

I'm interrupted by a loud knocking on my office door. I grit my teeth and yell out in frustration, "What?!"

The door is thrown open and one of my men rush in. He halts to a stop and visibly gulps when he sees Serenity stand up in front of me completely naked.

"What the fuck did I say about barging in my damn office without my fucking permission?!" I yell at him as I bang my fist against the desk.

"Boss, I have an update." He nervously says while looking to the floor.

I raise an eyebrow and turn to Serenity before telling her, "Get your shit and get out."

She looks at me in shock, "What? But you said-"

"Do I look like a give a fuck about what I said?!" I shout, cutting off the rest of her sentence. She just stands there stubbornly with her hands on her hips.

I pull my gun out from my drawer and point it straight at her face, "You want to do this the easy way or the hard way?"

Her eyes widen and she quickly puts her lingerie on and grabs her stuff before running out of my office half-naked.

"Speak." I order him in a firm tone while placing my gun back down.

"Well, the location is New York. I'll be able to get the address once we get there. Should I send some men when I get the address?" He asks me as he places a file on my desk.

"No, you get the address and tell me right away. Then you watch their every move day and night. If any of you get fucking caught, I'll deal with you all personally. When the time comes, that's when I'll give the order." I reply as I rub my chin.

"What time will that be, boss?" He questions me with a shaky voice.

I smirk up at him and say, "Don't you worry about that. I know exactly when we'll make our move. Tell the men to pack their shit. We're going to New York."

He nods and exits my office in a hurry, closing the door behind him.

I pick up the file that he placed on my desk, looking through the photos and information my men have gathered so far. I shove the file inside of my drawer and pull out an old photo before sliding my fingers down the surface.

Shaking my head with a sigh, I mumble, "I'll see you real soon. I hope you didn't miss me too much because we're going to have a family fucking reunion that you won't ever forget."
