Chapter141: away 6

Peter immideately got the gun and gave it to Alex who took it and looked at everyone in the room."I think I have become so soft on all of you. When was the last time someone died in this room?"he asked and people looked at him scared. They would be scared, the boss is talking about death and everyone's heart is beating wildly in the chest because they don't know what to expect.

Alex stood up, his gun in hand and then he looked at a certain corner." You people know what's at stake here, yet you have time to be disobedient? Is there anyone who has something to say to me?"he asked and kept quiet waiting for them to speak." Great, so nobody has something to say to me. Then that guy at the corner, can you stand up and say what you want."he said pointing the gun at the corner. A man stood up his face showing the defiance he had shown earlier.

"I think you shouldn't be the boss. You abandoned us and then now your wife is in trouble, you are back to ask for our help? Ain't you using us?"he asked confidently his head high. Alex looked at him for a while without saying anything and there was a pin drop silence everyone holding their breath for what's coming.

"Who is the boss of the Mafia group we are looking for?"Alex instead of answering his stupid question, asked a question of his own.

The guy looked a little panicked but he composed himself too soon but Alex noticed the changes too soon."I don't know, I've only been in this group and I have been loyal to you. What I just said has nothing to do with me knowing a leader of a Mafia group I don't even know about."the man said.

"Really?"Alex asked raising an eyebrow but he pointed the gun at the guy and he shot his shoulders. The shot was not to kill him but weaken him. The guy held his shot shoulder screaming in pain then Alex raised his other hand not holding the gun then he moved the fingers a little and immideately, two bodyguards came and carried the man out. He then looked at everyone." If you want to be on the safe side, do go being traitors of this group. Remember where we came from and who we are before making a move to betray us. The guy will be questioned, he's a traitor and you all know what we do to them. You can go now."he said and he started walking to the door with Peter following behind him.

Some days had passed and I felt bored to death staying at a place without doing anything. I couldn't even talk to anyone and I wondered if I'm in jail or something but a good jail because I was not being inflicted on any punishment but everything here was real torture for me.

Today I woke up and I went to freshen up just like usual. It's like I'm programmed to do that. Wake up, freshen up then spend a long boring ass day. It sucks but I can't do anything, they are saying it's for my own good so I just have to persevere. Alex has not called lately and I miss him so much. Everyday I have to sleep creating illusions of a happy life with Alex so that I can sleep.

After I was done freshening up, I decided to go downstairs to have breakfast today, to at least change my routine. I could see how the maid were looking at me with admiration and I wondered what is it they admire about me? I'm in a place I don't know about, away from everyone I know. Do they know how that sucks yet they are admiring me?

"Ma'am, you want to eat breakfast in the dining hall today?"one of the maid asked and I nodded. I don't know how to behave with them. I feel really uncomfortable right now but since it's their job, I have to let them do it. I'm just not used to having maids at my every call. She escorted me to the dining hall and there I found Anderson. He's Sheebalie's uncle and he told me to be calling him Anderson.

"Good morning Anderson?"I greeted him as I sat down and the maids came to serve me breakfast.

"You decided to have your breakfast down here today?"he asked and I nodded smiling. He's been a very good man to me and sometimes I even imagined him as my dad. I just wished that my stupid dad would be like this great man over here. He's the best but I when I thought how bad my dad is, I really felt disappointed.

I started eating breakfast with him and I really felt a little bit happier because all other times I have been eating alone in the room. I looked at him and I found him watching me lost in his thoughts. He does that almost everytime we are together and I always asume he is sad.

"Anderson."I called him to break him from his daze or whatever he was thinking. When he didn't respond I called him again waving my hands to get his attention. I saw him blink and he flashed me an apologetic smile.

"Sorry about that, you just remind me of someone."he said and I smiled.

"A woman?"I asked him.

"Yeah, she's the love of my life but I hurt her so much I can't find courage to approach her. I bet she wouldn't even want to see me. I just can't forgive myself for everything I did to her."he told me and I really felt pity for him.

"Maybe you should approach her one day. Just apologize and let it be at least you apologized. Maybe she's been waiting for your apology who knows. You gotta try and see what happens. just do the right thing and go apologize even if it won't work, at least she would feel better. You know what I'm saying."I told him and he smiled at me.

"You are really great at this."he said and I smiled.

"Thanks but it's because I'm used to it. I do psychiatry for a living and people always come with different problems and situations."I told him and he nodded. We stayed in silence but I really wanted to ask him something I just didn't know how to ask.

I took a deep breath and I looked at him." Has Alex called?"I asked and he looked at me.

"No..he hasn't called yet. Don't worry he'll call soon."he said and I nodded but I felt my mood turn sour. I just wonder what is it that he's been doing that he can't even call me. I really felt like crying because I miss him so much.

"I miss him."I said looking at Anderson. I'm about to cry now and no matter how I stop the damn tears from flowing, they just can't. I don't know if it is the pregnancy, but my emotions have been all over the place. Crying recklessly, Being moody all over sudden. I'm just not like this.

"I know Kim, but you have to stay strong."he said and I really cried. I can't stand this at all. I miss my husband so much. It's almost a week and I haven't seen him at all.

"Don't worry everything will be over soon. I promi........"he didn't finish the sentence because we heard a loud sound of a gunshot. He immideately stood up, gun in hand.
