My Italian Capo

chapter 16

"Alright sweetie; take it easy on yourself" Penny instructed

Vincent followed me and Penny went her way

'Shhhh someone might hear you' I heard whispering and she sounded a little familiar

'So what?...let them hear' I recognize the voice and instantly know that it's Danny; Lorenzo's right hand man/bestie

"No Dan; I don't want people to know about us" the voices got clearer as Vincent and I went into the kitchen. That voice...she's British...wait a minute

"Aurora!" I whispered to myself but she obviously heard me because she instantly jumped off Danny's lap

"Lina?" She looked at me shocked "sis...w-what are you d-doing here?" She asked as she walked closer to me so that she could engulf me in a hug

"I should be asking you that question Rora" I said while hugging her tightly

"So; I'm guessing that you two know each other..." Vincent said from behind me

"She's my little sister" Aurora told Danny and Vincent "Lina...what the hell are you doing here?"

"I have so much to tell you...but first explain to me why you're in Italy"

"I work here" she stated "I work for Mr. Rosi"

"Aurora Gallagher...you work in the mafia?" My eyes were basically surrounding my whole face now "This explains everything; this is why you've never told us how you made so much money...this is why you would disappear for months and randomly show up at night...This is why you would sometimes show up with bruises. This is why you were so great at the shooting range. This is why you were so shady"

"How do you know that this is the mafia?" She redirected the attention back to me

"Well...I live here now" I said nervously

"What do you mean?" She gave me one of her scary looks "Lina...this isn't a good place for people like you to stay"

"I know...when did you get here?"

"Last night...when and how did you get here?" She asked me

Danny who was still sitting on the bar stool spoke up "You two just reunited why don't you jus-..."

"Shut up Danny!" She gave him a murderous glare and he rose his hands in defeat "Lina...when did you get here and who brought you here?"

"I got here ten days ago" I said truthfully "...and I'm not sure how I got here"

"What do you mean Angelina?" She asked

"I mean that...I was...k-k"

"Spit it out Lina!"

I sucked in a deep breath and continued "I was kidnapped"

"What?!?" She shouted as she reached for the kitchen knives

"Calmati (calm down)" Danny spoke up

"You're telling me to take it easy?...you're telling me to calm the fuck down?" She pushed Danny harshly. She always was a little violent
"My little sister has been fucking kidnapped and you're telling me to calm down?" She starting throwing plates on the floor and kitchen utensils "who took you Lina?...I promise I won't spare him"

"Lorenzo" I whispered

"Oh you've got to be fucking kidding me" she tried to leave the kitchen with a knife but Danny and Vince stopped her "I've been working for the man that basically stole my sister?"

"Rora!" I called out continuously but she continued to fight with Vince and Danny "Aurora!...he did it for my safety" she halted her actions and got off Danny's back. She slowly removed her hands from his neck and Vincent stood up as well

"What?...How?" She moved closer to me

'The story'

Once I explained the story to her she calmed down and understood but she was still angry...to be honest; I'm still angry

"Mom and dad allow you to go to Italy for whatever reason and you end up working for a mafia boss" she took a swig of the whisky we found in the pool house

"...but none of this is my fault"

"I know it's not Lina...I'm just in shock" she closed her eyes and pulled her phone out of her jean pocket "I don't know how we're going to explain all this to mom"

"Are you calling her?" I questioned "she'll have a heart attack if she finds out that I'm getting married and she hasn't even met my fiance... let's talk to Lorenzo first before you call anyone"

"She has been worried sick about you...she has tried calling you and any other means of contacting you but the only response she kept receiving was a letter saying that you were away on business" she said "and your friends in England almost reported you missing...claiming that they spoke to you everyday and all of a sudden you're not answering your calls or texts"

"I miss them all so much"

"They all miss you too...and Ariana is pregnant"

"What?!?" I jumped up "I've missed out on so much"

"It's not your fault...I think everyone is just going to be glad that you're safe"

"Yeah!" I said sadly
