What the hell is going on?
Dominique
Amy had been acting weird all day. I wasn’t quite sure what was wrong with her. We hadn’t had sex in a while it wasn’t due to not wanting to it was due to the fact is been busy with the mafia business. Better hadn’t been found and it was looking like he was never going to be found. I’d been working closely with Marcello to track him down our men had come up with nothing, if he’d gone by air he’d be a long way off by now so we had to wait and bide our time seeing as the little fucker had gone off the grid.
I hadn’t meant to be so rough with her last time she just pushed my buttons. I’m not used to a feisty headstrong woman, most mafia women know their place and speak when spoken to, but Amy has no filter and knows her own mind that’s why I was pulled to her in the first place.
This morning she looked out of sorts. She looked as if she’d barely slept and was about to hurl but she wasn’t having it when I offered to join them in going into town. But, she blatantly refused for me to go with her so I made sure to send some of my trusted men with her and Beau not that I don’t trust Beau. It was a simple fact Danon better was still out there and we had no idea where he was and when he would strike.
If he was anything like his deceased father he’d wait it out until the right time then strikes, taking Amy with him. We’re not even sure if his younger brother is with him if he got away it would be definite that his younger brother would help him to escape without being seen and keep him off the radar they had plenty of men who would help them both disappear and it would only be a matter of time until they reappeared. I couldn’t lose Amy again. She was everything to me.
I know we didn’t get off on the right foot but I grew to see the beautiful fiery woman in front of me. She was the perfect mafia queen knowing she would take no shit made me proud. What got me angry was that she wasn’t prepared at any stage in our marriage to have children with me.
What I did was the only way to guarantee that. I never regret anything I do but I regret that that’s one reason I have stayed away I’m angry with myself I promised I would never be that person around her I wanted not needed her to trust me and eventually fall in love with me when I realised that wasn’t going to happen I did what I thought as best and I royally screwed up.
Things will never be the same between us now and it’s my fault they won’t be. She’ll never trust me ever again and I know for a fact she’ll never love me. I should’ve let her go instead of lying to her about how her father never gave me the money he owed me but I’m a selfish bastard and once I have something good in my life I never let it go and I’m never letting Amy go.
She returned in the same stoic mood she left with I reminded her we were having supper together she nodded and headed up to our room one I haven’t slept in for three weeks since I fucked her I’m surprised she’s even sleeping in there.
I look at Beau. “Is everything okay with Amy?”
“Shouldn’t there be?”
“She just seems different. She hasn’t said two words to me in weeks.”
“It works both ways, Dominique. You’ve barely been out of meetings for almost four months. You come back when she’s sleeping just to avoid conflict. You need to talk to her.”
I nodded. He was right I had avoided talking to her at all costs. She was my wife for fucksake we needed to sort this shit out between us. We could get through this if we worked together instead of against each other.
Supper was awkward and the silence was deafening after I told her how beautiful she looked in her new dress. She smiled, thanking me then we ate in silence. She excused herself from the dining table and went upstairs. I sighed loudly. I don’t know how I was going to approach this if she wouldn’t even say two words to me.
I went to bed late that night hoping that I could speak to Amy in the morning about everything.
When I woke the sun was peering into my room so brightly that I assumed it was late morning to my horror it was almost three in the afternoon. I had never slept this late. What the hell was going on?
I slid out of bed and dressed, god I felt so lazy and tired today. What the hell is wrong with me? I stepped out of my room where the hell was everyone?
I finally made it downstairs though my limbs were painfully numb like I’d been drugged Lucian liked worse for wear, what the hell was going on? “Rough night?”
He looked at me, his eyes sinking in.“I don’t know what the hell is going on Dom, I don’t feel myself.”
“Had too much to drink?”
“That’s the problem, I haven’t even had a drink.”
I looked strangely at him as Andre walked in groaning. “Fuck my head hurts. I feel like I’ve been run over by a bus.”
We both looked at him curiously. It couldn’t be possible that we all have the same symptoms. He dropped to a chair and dropped his arms on the table and dropped his head violently on them. “Please wake me up when this nightmare is over.”
“Where are all the men? Aren’t they supposed to be protecting the house inside and out?”
“Haven’t seen anyone but you.”
“Dito.”
Fuck.
“Where are all the men?”
“Not here they’re sleeping.”
“What the hell going on Dom? This isn’t like them nor is it like us to be up after lunch.”
“Use the siren if that doesn’t work give them a cold shower.”
He nodded. “I’ll go help.”
I nodded.
The siren screeched around the und house defending whoever was in there and whoever slept was sure to shit their duds thinking we were being attacked. There were thuds and screams. I guess some got cold showers. I chuckled even though that took far too much energy.
Thudding shook the house as many of the men defended the stairs and entered the kitchen looking as shit as we did what the duck was going on around here, this shit would have to wait.
“I don’t know what the fuck is going on around here but we need to nip this shit in the bud. I need all of you to search the house to see if there have been any insiders. Something smells like shi and I don’t like it.”
“Yes, boss.” They all said, yawning.
“Get to it. I’m going to see if my queen is awake. Hopefully, she hasn’t got whatever we have to make her feel like shit and helpless with it.”
They nodded and trotted down the hallways.
I pulled my lifeless body up. God, I feel so shit what the hell was wrong with me?
