The Mafia's Little Angel

Emma:

"Daisy please could you put Travis on the line." I smile holding out the telephone when Travis, my boyfriend's secretary answer the phone to his office.

"A sorry Emma, Mr Travis is in a conference meeting right now, maybe you could call back later?" Her voice as polite as possible.

"Sure, thank you" i over a warm smile and replace the telephone handle back.

I sigh deeply rolling around the office chair, i knew Tyler was always busy due to his job as a 4star ranked doctor, but he hardly had time for me

We hardly even saw each other even though we practically worked in the same hospital, Travis and i have been together for almost 3 years now and its the same routine.

A ring comes from the telephone and i pick it up immediately.

"Emma?" Travis soft voice comes to life, "Sorry i was in a meeting when you called."

"Its fine honey,..."

"How was your night shift?" He asks interrupting me, a frown covers my face, his first thought is always work!.

No hi Emma, no I missed you Emma, just how was work? I've known Travis for more than 3 years but lately he makes me feel invisible, sometimes I would love to shake him and scream I'm right here into his face.

"Emma??" He calls out still waiting for an answer

"Sorry, yeah the night shift was long and very busy"

"Go home and rest will meet at home"

"Would you love to go out with me tonight maybe for dinner or a movie?"

"I can't tonight, darling I'm busy" he sighs and i roll my eyes, typical Travis.

"You're always busy Travis, we never do anything together anymore"

"You know l'm up for promotions soon, l'm trying to make a good impression"

"I understand that Travis, but would it really kill you to be a bit more spontaneous and romantic?"

"Get your head out of the clouds Emma, real life is not like those stupid romance novels you read when I get the promotion we will have more time together l'll see you at home later I need to get back to work" He hung up first, seriously sometimes i feel like an technically dating myself.

I begin to pack up my books into my bag as i prepare to leave, why can't life be like the romance books? ****

I place my bag on the bed and pull off my white coat, seriously i don't think this whole shit can work out anymore, maybe i should just break up with him.

With my clothes pulled off, i rush into the shower in a haste to cool myself, everyone in my family knew Travis and they wouldn't be happy if i broke up with him, maybe i can just talk to him about it and see how he reacts.

Another ring comes from my cell phone and i pick it up, it was my older sister Diana.

"Hey"

"What's wrong?" She asked as my voice was a bit low.

"Nothing Diana, how was work?" l asked moving over to the kitchen to prepare dinner, Travis was going to be home anytime soon.

"Come on Em, don't be shy, i know something is wrong." Typical Diana, you can't skip a question with her.

"Sometimes I forget that you are the big sister it's like you forgot to grow up." I cursed and i could hear her giggle.

"Hey don't blame me because you chose to settle down with Doctor Dolittle, I'm not yet ready to hang up my partying shoes just yet"

"You are almost 30 Diana maybe it's time you did" I emphasize laughing.

"So are you going to tell me what's wrong?"

She asked breaking the silence

"Why? So you can say I told you so?" I eyed at her over the phone

"Has the doctor done something to upset you?" She queried

"No, he's never around long enough to upset me we've been together 3 years and it feels like our relationship is at a standstill it feels like we are drifting apart"

"Have you tried talking to him about it?"

"He thinks the relationship is perfect but the only time I see him he's in bed"

"How's things going in that department?"

"In bed?"

"Its cool i guess." Considering the fact that we only have it once in the blue moon, but i certainly wasn't discussing my sex life with Diana.

"Travis will be home soon, I'm hanging up now." I sigh cutting the call on her begore she insists she wants to hear more. ****

The door cracks open and I suspect Travis is back.

"Babe?" He calls out

"Am in the dinning." I reply and in minutes he was there.

"Come join me for dinner." I offer a bright smile as he takes off his tie.

"Am sorry, i cant, l'm going to my mum's for dinner"

"What about our romantic night you promised?".

"I can't right now I can't keep mum waiting" he sighs.

You know what?, fuck whatever my parents will think of me but i am certainly breaking up with

Travis, they aint the one's suffering this with me, its all me!.

"It's important too Travis, i am important too.!" I scream out.

"What's gotten into you tonight

Emma?".

"Are you cheating on me Travis??"

"Absolutely not, this is your sister Diana's influence right?, I've told you time and time again that she's bad news.".

"This has nothing to do with Diana, if you go to your mum's now I won't be here when you get back" i cross my hands meaning every damn word of it.

"Emma," he calls out to me softly.

"I just feel like the relationship isn't moving forward." I sigh.

"we've been together for five years and nothing has changed".

"I agree" he nods.

"You do?" I ask and he nods again.

"So let's get married" his voice is stern as my eyes widen.

"Married!?" I repeat out of shock.

"Why not? We already live together." His voice is calm.

"I don't think marriage is the answer to our problems Travis". I reply as he comes closer to me.

"You want commitment am giving commitment".

"Did you plan this?".

"no and I don't have a ring but at least this way you can pick out a ring that you like"

"I don't know Travis"

"You said you wanted me to be more spontaneous and romantic right? can't get much more romantic than a surprise marriage proposal". He emphasized as I took a deep breath is making an effort this is what I wanted after all.

"Well what it to be?" He raises an eyebrow.

"I'm just not sure, i mean a wedding is not going to fix our problems".

"Do you love me?" He asked holding out my hands.

"Of course I do".

"Then everything else can be fixed the right?"

"I guess"

"So is that a yes?".

"It's a yes".

"You won't regret it this is exactly what we need." He smiled dragging me closer and kissing me.

"Remember you still have a night shift at the hospital today" he smiled softly at me. "You have to get going so you won't be late."

"Sure." I nod and head in to dress, i guess things already started turning good for me. ****

It was night already and i had a night shift back at the office, i didn't want to be late so i left the

house.

Arhhh!, i hit my hand on my car weel,

"What's wrong with this stupid car?" I was out of gas and my car started making so crazy noises, happily there was a nearby Gas station, i quickly pul in.

"Am really going to be late for work." I murmur as i step out of the car to meet the Gas attendant.

"How may I help you ma'mm?"

The attendant asked politely when I reached to the counter

"Just gas please" I offer my bank card

"No problem" She replied and gave me 2 litters of gas and I filled the car

"it's gonna be a long night!!" I

sigh, entering and closing my door afterwards.

I shrink when i hear a gun click behind me. "Don't fucking move!!". Someone ordered pointing a gun at my head from behind me.

"Just do exactly as I say and you won't get hurt. If you scream, I'l blow your head away." He threatens. "Now start driving!."

He commanded as I sat startled, I couldn't move. I could feel my heart beat increase by each pace, i almost shrink when he shots again. "Drive!!"

"O.. Ok." I starmmer fearfully, i

have never been in this situation before, but maybe if i could offer him money he would leave me alone.

"How much do you need?, 5000 dollars?, 10,000 dollars?"

He laughs, he doesn't even answer me, he just laughs. "Do you want to die so badly?, did i say you could talk?".

I shake my head and strenthen myself on the drivers seat, was this going to be the end of me?.

****

It was still night, we passed through strange places, Woods, Rivers, each time my heart skips

a beat, his gun never left my head, not even for a second.

Emma:

I wasn't certain where we where, but one thing was for sure. We were far away from home.

"We've been driving for hours Mister, please just let me go." I pleaded, my hands still clutching the sterling like my life depends on it, because actually, my life did. "How much do you want-"

"Shut the hell up woman!!" His voice is firm making me tremble and goose bumbs fill up my skin.

I know i was supposed to be at his mercy right now, but he has certainly no right to talk to me like that. I am no pushover.

"Don't speak to me like that". I defend and he begins laughing, i felt like digging my nails into his eyes and plugging them out of their socket.

"I've hijacked your car, I'm holding you hostage and all you're concerned about is how am speaking to you?." The gun still inches away from my head.

"You're a funny kid, but put a sock in it you're giving me a danm headache!" He responded angrily, what the hell am I going to do now?.

How am I going to escape?. I

need to try to talk to him, make him see me as a person or maybe I need to be assertive, demand that he let me go ,show him that am no pushover.

"Listen here mister," I sit up on my chair angrily. "I have been driving for hours, l have missed work and my fiancee will be looking for me, you will not get away with this, the cops are probably already looking for me.".

I scream, my voice trembling.

"And?." He says casually.

"And I demand that you let me go right now" I order

"Pull the car over" he orders again,

My eyes sag a little at the idea that he might let me go "You're letting me go?"

"No, l'm gonna fucking gag you because you are incapable of keeping your mouth shut!". He

gawked.

"I'm sorry I will be quiet" I plead, maybe trying to reason with him wasn't the best idea.

"'Too late love, pullover!!" He said again, and this time he actually meant it because i could feel the intensity of the gun on my head.

I stop the car and he drags me out immediately, his gun never leaving my head. This was the first time I actually saw him, he was masked with dark glasses and a cap, he was wearing black and black and i was sure about one thing.

"So do you want to do this?" He asks folding his hands.

"Please don't." I beg as he removes the mask hiding his face, the dark glasses and cap.

Oh MY GOD!

He was freaking hot. I know its crazy of me to fantasise about the crazy guy that just kidnapped me but i couldn't help it

"I gave you a chance to behave did I not?" His eye brows rose, trust me, to get hijacked by a guy who looks like he just walked off a damn cat work.

"What do you want from me?"

My forehead puckered.

"I'm not going to hurt you, not unless you forced my hand that is, I just need your help." He spoke calmly.

"My help?" My eyebrows drew closer and he nodded

"We still have a few more hours to drive, so we can do this the easy way or the hard way."

"What's the hard way?" I raise a brow at him.

"You travel the rest of the way in the car trunk."

"The boot??, No I don't like the dark" i shake my head fearfully

"So you want the easy way huh?"

"What is the easy way?"

"You travel upfront with me and you keep your damn mouth shut!" His tune is harsh, but it better to just agree with him for now I'll take the easy way" i sigh.

"This is your last chance, now get back in the car and behave" he commands entering the car and I join but he drives this time around.

what does it mean my help with?, he said he wasn't going to hurt me?, then why the hell does he have a gun?.

And where the heck are we going?, this is bad, this is very very bad!. I sigh sadly.

Fuck!!

The bastard set me up, the place was supposed to be empty!. Now the police is probably looking for me and I have a danm hostage!.

TRAVIS

My phone rings, i stand up from the bed yawning before picking it up, it was morning already.

"Daisy?" I call out when the name of the caller becomes visible, it was my personal secretary.

"Good morning doctor, I just wanted to know if Emma is ok, she didn't show up for work last night"

"What do you mean she didn't show up for work last night?" I jerk up from the bed immediately.

"I was here throughout but she didn't show up" she explains further.

"And you waited until now to call me?" I glared at the phone.

"I'm so sorry,I thought she was with you, i didn't want to bother"

"I'll talk to you when I get to work" I hang up immediately and dial Emma's number but it was on voicemail.

"Hey, it's Emma I can't come to the phone right now you know what to do" The machine says.

"Emma what the hell is going on?

Why didn't you turn up for work?

Call me as soon as you get this message". I hang up, what the hell is she playing at now?..**

. EMMA***

"Hey wake up!!"

I strung up from sleep panting rapidly

"Relax we are here" he rolls his eyes

"Where?" | stare around surprisingly

"Get out" He commanded coming out from the car.

I glance outside, we were technically in the middle of nowhere, bushes where everywhere more like a forest reserve.

I let out a sigh, l'm never going to be found!.

I took a deep breath and came out from the car. "What is this place?"

"This is your new home for the next 2 days" he says nonchantly pressing a phone.

"Say what!!?, Is that my phone?" I

exclaimed staring at the phone in his hands.

"You won't be needing it". He rolled his eyes and I glared at him. "No signal out here anyway". He added walking away.

I turn over when I hear some rustle in the bush.

"What the hell was that?" I scream scanning around and finally went inside the cabinet or small house whatever it's called.

"There's something out there". I say fearfully when I want to where he was and slipped falling flat on the ground.

"For fucks sake!". He glared angrily crossing his hands.

"I heard something outside like a... a... monster?!". I stammer fearfully but he rolled his eyes

"It's probably a wolf or a bear".

His response was careless as though it was no big deal.

" A ... bear?? Like a real life bear?". I ask as he arranged the chairs

"Are you for real? We are high up in the mountains, of course it's a real beer"

"Are you serious!, take me back right now! this is kidnapping"! screamed and he rolled his eyes staring vividly at me

"Like I said earlier, my fiance will be looking for me". I added

"Are you trying to get yourself killed?". He asked folding his

hands

"No"

"Then stop running your mouth I told you that I needed your help as soon as I get it I will release you unharmed.". He assured

"What do you need my help with?". I asked gently as he sat down on the couch

"I'm glad that you asked". He chuckles leaving a smile on his face as he undressed

Oh my god!.

He sat down and pulled off his top and it was then that I noticed he was injured,

The nurse in me wanted to run and help him but the way he leaned back on the sofa and eyed me out had me frozen to the spot.

He lit up a cigarette, never taking his eyes off mine, my heart was beating so fast it felt like it was going to explode.

But I couldn't tear my eyes away from him, as I looked at the wound I knew he'd been shot. it looked very close to some vital organs and I can't understand how he's still walking around. my eyes were drawn to a tattoo that covered his arm and as I slowly dragged my eyes over the

details I felt almost hyponised, this guy was the definition of a bad boy!. strong Jaws, eyes that would pierce your soul, and those abs!!, To call him sexy would be an understatement. I can see why some women who would sell their souls for one night with him, but no sir, not me. Not my type. this man is dangerous, I feel the heat rush to my cheeks as I suddenly imagine rubbing my fingers through his hair as he presses his body against mine.

Then throws me on the bed and--, What the hell!!!?, This man hijacked my car, took me hostage and l'm fantasizing about his babies running around the garden, what the hell is wrong with me?!. I want to punch myself in the throat right now.

I took a deep breath and try to control myself and as my eyes found his, he's giving me 'what the fuck' look.

Shit!!, Yep he knows I was checking him out. I quickly looked away in Embarrassed trying to look anywhere but at him.

UNKNOWN

"Take it out". I ordered still staring at her.

"Excuse me?, I don't know what kind of a nurse you think I am, but I have a fiance and l'm not taking out anyone's.. Anyone's...

Anything!" She rub my arms slowly trying not to jam eye contact with me.

Someone kill me right now!, what the hell is she thinking?.

"I meant take out the bullet." I gaze at her

"Oh, " she takes in a relief breath.

"Wait, what!?"

"Take out the bullet, that's what you're here for". I eye her

"I'm a nurse not a doctor you fool,

cannot operate on you" She glares at me.

"Listen very carefully love,"

Dante smirks, his eyes glistening at me. "If I die out here, so do yOu!"

"What??" I could feel my heart beat race up each second.

"The nearest town is hours away, I have already immobilised your car so unless you are a mechanic that car ain't going anywhere without my say." He crosses his arms in a tormenting manner.

"What the hell!" I glare at him angrily. "You keep on telling me you won't hurt me but you will

happily let me die out here?" My arm are crossed in annoyance, his guts.

"I won't hurt you, if you die out here it's you who is hurting you".

"Am not doing this, l will take my chances"

I reply crossing my hand and raising an eyebrow at him.

"Suits me, there's enough food here for two days after that you will need to start walking. " He laughs. "If the cold doesn't kill you before you reach nearest town I'm sure they wild animals will".

"Stop!". I glare deeply at him.

"I ain't doing shit!, am just stating your fate." He laughs again.

Calm down Emma, you definitely don't want to die out here. "And if I help you, do you promise take me home?". I can't trust him, but i need every assurance i can get.

"Yes, i will. As soon as its safe though". He sits up.

I stare at him roughly. "That isn't the deal!?"

"Would you prefer me driving you home when am not stable?, as you can see am wounded, as soon as I am well enough I will see to it that you get home safely". He assures and i let out a sigh. "Ok, fine, i will do it but don't let me see you smoking again!." I warn at him. "It will slow down your recovery".

"I have a first aid kit in the car and some strong painkillers we will have to make the best of what we've got". I replied moving outside the car to get the first aid kit when I came back with the first aid kit he was drinking from a whiskey bottle I had nothing to sanitize the area so the whiskey might help.

My hands shook as I got to work trying to retrieve to bullet, I have never done anything like this before.

Although I've watched videos, i was always interested in the surgery side of medicine but Travis convinced me that I was more suited being a nurse.

After 20 stressful minutes, I located the bullet and removed it.

I could feel the balls of sweat covering my forehead. Any mistake here was going to end him, of course i wanted to end him but he was smart, he knew i wouldn't find my way outside if i did that. As I got to work sewing him up, I was very aware that he hadn't taken his eyes of me since I started.

He was watching my every move and it was making me very nervous, l still cannot believe what's happening it feels like a bad dream I just hope Travis is looking for me and I hope he finds me soon.

TRAVIS;

"Stop telling me to calm down!." I glare angrily at the cops who were responsible for Emma's case. "Emma can be hard sometimes but this isn't something she would do purposely. She has been off for hours"

"How did she seem to last time you spoke to her?". The male cop asked.

"She was fine we just had gotten engaged" I answered.

"Is it possible she was having second thoughts about the engagement and maybe needed some time out". The male cop asked again staring at me really hard.

"No, i doubt that's the case officer, Emma wanted us to get married more than anything." I sighed. "And even if she did need a time out, she will go with her sister or best friend and neither of them have heard from her either"

"Ok we will need to speak to both of them too". The female cop lets out a low hiss. And i nod.

"Try not to panic just yet it has still been less than 24 hours since you last spoke to her there's still a chance she will turn up soon"

He assured and I took a deep breath.

EMMA;

"Don't you think you should be resting right Now?, you could bust your stitches". I advise as he kept on arranging firewood to

light up the fireplace

"If I don't get a fire going in here we will both be dead by morning" He replies, still focused on what he was doing.

"What?!" My eyebrows stick out, what did he mean by we would be dead?.

"From hypothermia, the temperature drops as low as - 10 up here at night". He explained standing and looking at me.

"Am hungry!." I glare at him. I haven't had breakfast yet.

"Make some food." He pointed towards the kitchen.

Make food?" I react in shock.

"Are you going to keep repeating everything I say?". He blurts out angrily

"I don't know how to cook". I confessed rubbing my arm.

"So how the f*** do you eat?" He stares at me.

"I have a microwave or I order online or we go to a restaurant".

"Well, I guess you better figure it out princess, because you are all cooking duty tonight". His voice was harsh as he walked away.

I mimic his tune angrily when he is far away. I can't do this, i take in a deep breath.

I take in a deep breath, how was i supposed to cook?.

I haven't even prepared a mean before, how the heck did that idiot want me to prepare one now?. You can Emma, you have just perform surgery with a first aid kit how hard can it be to cook some food?.

I need to show him that I'm cooperating or at least trying. My main focus right now is to get out of here alive. located my way into the kitchen, hopefully, it wasn't as awful as the living room. At least, the place was small but still a little bit tidy.

UNKNOWNS POV

"Listen to me you fool," i warn at the caller on the other end if the phone. " I need my car dropped to the cabin tonight, there is a car here that belong to the hostage, you take it and get rid of it".

"What about you?" He queried with a low hiss.

"I'm going to lay low here for a few days, then head home, I will release her when I'm home". I reassure.

" What about now?" I could hear his voice come up in a warning tune.

"No, I cannot let her go now. If i release her now she will go to the cops and I don't need that kind of heat right now!"

"Ok I understand"

"When I wake in the morning my car better be here and this car better be gone, disposed of". I said lastly and angrily hung up to call.

I hope everything goes exactly as planned.

EMMA:

I placed the food on the table in the most stylish manner i could. Even if the living room was awful that didn't mean the food had to be too.

I could hear his footsteps behind me as i turned almost immediately. "Salad?" | raise a brow pointing at the food on the table.

He teated walking to the table

"How very ambitious of you".

"I tried". I rolled my eyes, if only

he knows what it took me to make this.

I stated looking at him with disapproval. "It will seem so". He laughs as he takes a bite of the

salad.

"I told you that I couldn't cook". I glared at him.

"You did" he nodded and we both ate the dishes silently until we finished.

"Can I asked you something?". I broke the silence awkwardly.
