THE MAFIA’S CAPTIVE ANGEL

God! Sin must be rubbing off on me if I am happy to see another being treated like this, but a part of me kept on whispering that she deserved it. Who gave her the right to stake a claim on my man? When he turned to look at me, I didn’t know what had come over me. I decided to be a vixen and walked teasingly slowly towards him, swaying my hips, which caught the attention of other men in the room, and Sin’s eyes darkened with his jaw clenched.

Luna still stood close to him, but she wasn’t holding him anymore. I reached where they were; I stepped between the two of them, and my arms were placed on his hard chest. He wrapped his hands around my waist, looking at me amused. I pulled his head down to mine for a kiss on the lips. I pulled away with a smile on my face, which he reciprocated.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Who the hell are you?” Luna asked, pissed.

“His Queen, and who are you?” I looked back innocently, my arms still on his chest.

“Then you must be really ignorant if you believe that.” She said. “Sin doesn’t do relationships since I’m a…”

“Oh, boo hoo, I guess you aren’t that important.” I retorted, cutting her off. Sin chuckled along with a group of people listening.

Luna scoffed, clearly affected by what I had said. “At least I am not delusional. He is going to drop you faster than the speed of light after he is done with you.”

“Definitely not as fast as he dropped you, right, Nikolai?” I said, making sure to say his name just to spite her. The people around him were surprised because no one had ever called him by his real name, and they knew not to.

Luna stood in front of me, jaw to the ground, confused. I smiled, feeling satisfied to have the final word, not wanting to make matters worse. Sin pecked my lips and spoke.

“You got it wrong, Amore; I can never get tired of you.”

“Hmm,” I said, staring directly at her; she was shocked and didn’t know what to say. “I’m going to leave you to it. I will be with Samantha if you need me,” I said to Sin, kissing him one last time before walking back to where Samantha stood, shocked as well; she must have seen the whole drama.

When I got to her, she raised her hand and clapped mine in hers, and we both burst out laughing.

“I’ve got to give it to you, Mani; that was hot. You put that bitch in her place.” She said this, chuckling.

“I just couldn’t help myself. It would teach other women to back up. I’m honestly tired of having to deal with women in his life who just can’t seem to take a hint.” I said it bitterly, thinking of Laura and Victoria.

“What do you expect when it comes to a man like Sin? They may all flock over him, but it still won’t change the fact that he only has eye on you and you alone.” She answers with a sway of her head and a snap of her fingers as if to say, Period! “Anyway I need to go to the restroom, are you coming?”

“No, I’m just going to wait until Nikolai is done.”

I stood close to the bar while Samantha walked off in search of the restroom.

“Hello, sexy,” a voice said from beside me. Sin was still talking to the two men, with Luca by his side.

“I’m not interested.” I smiled with a touch of sarcasm. Did he not see me a few minutes ago making a bold claim on Sin?

“Oh, come on, don’t be like that. We can have a lot of fun.” The man said again that I could smell the alcohol and cigarettes on his breath, which gave off a disgusting stench. He placed his rough hands on my back, and images from the club swiped through my mind.

“I said I wasn’t interested, so now leave. It’s for your own benefit,” I growled, pissed, but instead he smiled. I turned to stare at him, and at the far end of the bar was Luna. She had a smug look on her face. I was sure she was the one who set this up. I thought she had given up on him after the altercation that happened between us, but it seems like she was a leech and planned on not giving up. The man in front of me slid closer, invading my personal space; his cologne smiled like cow dung.

“Let go of me,” I said.

“And if I don’t,” Glancing to my left, I saw Sin matching over to where I stood in anger.

“I guess you need to face the consequences of your actions. Just remember, I did warn you.” I smiled, pulling my face closer to him, and Sin’s anger intensified.

“What do you mean, princess?” His face was close to mine, and I could feel his sharp breath.

“I think I have said this word a thousand times today, but I don’t mind saying it to you in case you missed the preview. I’m no fucking princess; I’m a queen. His queen,” I replied sassily, nodding my head to the side. The man turned to look at what I was talking about and was met with Sin’s stoic face staring down at him.

“Leave before I kill you.” Sin said, grabbing the man’s shirt collar.

“Sin I… I swear, I didn’t know she was yours. Please forgive me.” The man pleaded.

I looked at where I last saw Luna, and she was still there, her fists clenched together at her failed plan.

What exactly was the plan? Because whatever this was, it was clear stupidity.

I sent her a victory smirk, and she huffed, walking away. I grabbed hold of Sin’s arms, my eyes telling him to let him go. He closed his eyes, pissed. He released the grip he had on the man, making him stumble back and cowardly run away.

“I think it’s time we leave. I am tired of this horny, perverted men looking at what is mine.”

“But I just started enjoying myself,” I whined, enjoying his reaction.

“I don’t care; we’re leaving now,” he said sternly, making me pout.

“Okay,” I groggily answered. He wrapped his arms around my waist, walking out of the ballroom to where the car was. Before I got in, Samantha came running out.

“Hey Mani, I see your leaving already. I guess I also have to call it a night,” she says, stifling a yawn. “I will talk to you later, I’m waiting for Luca to drive me home since I came with him.”

“Okay, I’ll chat you up later,” I said, getting into the car beside Sin as the driver drove off into the night.

I woke up, stretching my arms to the other side of the bed, to find it empty. It seems Sin had woken up before me, and I was a little disappointed. I groaned while standing up from the bed because of how sore I was, I walked towards the bathroom to freshen up for the day. I got out of the bathroom and put on a light summer dress; once I was done, I put on light makeup.

“Amore,” I heard his deep voice say, and a smile spread across my face. I walked out of the room to meet him in the hallway.

“Hi, good morning,” I say, smiling at him.

“Good morning.  You look beautiful today, baby girl,” he says, and I blush.

“Thanks, Nikolai.”

He smiles and says, “Come, let’s go down for breakfast.” He places his hand on my back as we walk down the stairs.

“Good morning,” I say to everyone in the dining room, getting a lot of responses.

“What are your plans for today, Amore?” Sin asks me lovingly.

“I have no idea.” I shrug. “I’m pretty tired, and I know how busy you  are lately.”

“You could always go out if you want to; Mateo is going to be there to guard you.”

“Sure, but I think I’m going to stay home instead.”

After breakfast, Sin, Luca, and some of the men had to leave. They had something to take care of. Samantha wasn’t with them; she had to meet up with a friend, but Mateo was here at home; after all, he was assigned by Sin as my personal bodyguard. I had asked Zoey if she knew what happened to Jason; it has been a while since I last saw him, and she told me he was handling something in South Africa and would be back probably next month.
