THE MAFIA’S CAPTIVE ANGEL

“Please. Please.” I gave my best puppy face.

“No, Mani, you need rest.” Sin said. “And nice try with the face; no matter how insanely cute you look, I’m not going to fall for it.”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

I huffed, making my way out of the bed to the balcony. I was trying to convince him to let me go out of the house, even if it’s for an hour. But instead, as always, he is being stubborn; he won’t listen to me. All he keeps saying is that I needed more rest. Like what I have been doing for the past one month wasn’t enough. I stood there in the balcony for a few minutes waiting for him to come out as well, to convince me, but he didn’t.

That stubborn man

I left the balcony when I couldn’t handle the cold anymore, walking back to the room to find it empty. I walked out of the room and down to the dining room to find him sitting there, happily munching on his dinner. I glared at him, but he didn’t bother acknowledging my presence. His focus was cast down on the plate of spaghetti and meatballs in front of him.

I took a seat opposite him, at the extreme end of the dining table. I sighed as loudly as I could, hoping to get his attention. He ignored me and kept eating, like it was something he had never tasted before.

A plate of spaghetti and meatballs was put in front of me. I sighed again, sipping on the glass of juice before slamming it on the table loudly, and yet again, he still ignored me.

“Are you seriously just going to ignore me like you didn’t hear me?” I said, frustrated.

He looked at me. ” oh.! I didn’t realize you were saying something; it’s not like you were using actual words,” he stated plainly.

I gasped out, my lips cast down in a pout. “I just wanted to get a little bit of your attention, but I guess I’m not that important again.” My voice breaks, and tears start pouring out of my eyes.

Sin stopped eating; he stared at the tears on my face. He stood up, walking towards me, resting at the edge of the table beside me. His hands were on my cheeks, wiping the tears off my face with his thumb. He leaned a little, then kissed my forehead. His lips trailed down to my cheek, moving down to rest behind my ear.

“Amore, you should have been an actress instead of a doctor. Seeing how good you are at it,” he kissed my cheek again, rising up from the table and making his way back to his seat with a smirk on his face.

Dang it.

I actually thought he was going to fall for it. I wiped the remaining tears off my eyes, glaring at him.

“Do you know how many times you have used that trick on me this past few weeks?. You really need to up your game.” he stated, his lips lifting up in a smirk as he continued eating.

I really need to think of something else; I can’t let him win. I was tired of staying cooped up inside doing absolutely nothing and just laying in bed watching movies.

What should I do?

I racked my brain, trying to come up with something, until an idea struck me. I knew this was childish and dramatic, but I hoped it would work.

Sorry baby.

I rested my hands on my tummy, pretending to talk to the baby. “Baby, Daddy is being mean to mummy. I just wanted to go out for a little bit of air, but he keeps saying no.” This caught his attention because he was looking at me.

I continue. “I guess it’s just you and me, baby. Mommy loves you okay, even though we are locked inside all day like prisoners, dying of absolute boredom. It’s you and I against the world, only you and I.”

Sin sighed, rubbing his face with his hands. “Fine, you can go out for just an hour.”

I smiled cheekily. ” Three”

“One hour, Mani.”

I sighed. ” see. I told you, baby. It’s just you and me.

“Two hours,” he said sternly, leaving no room for arguments. “Samantha and Mateo will be going with you.”

“I have no problem with that; Sam and I could have a little girl’s day out.” I replied nonchalantly.

A smile instantly appeared on my face. “It looks like I was wrong, baby. Daddy does care for us,” I said, standing from my seat and letting out a quiet squeal before making my way upstairs. I can’t wait for tomorrow.
