chapter 8

I blinked my eyes severally trying to open my eyes but it seemed too heavy, I tried again and I flashed my eyes open but closed it again, light shone on my eyes so brightly, where was I, was I dead, no I couldn't be I opened my eyes again but the effect of the light wasn't as before I looked up and saw a bulb oh that explains the brightness of the light but I still didn't understand im not familiar with this environment then i realized I was tied to a chair, oh God I got kidnapped but I barely got here in Italy who would want to kidnap someone useless as me, come think of it I wasn't popular, rich or famous why can't I stay out of trouble, well I'm staying out of trouble but seems like trouble doesn't want to stay of me I'm screwed

I heard footsteps getting nearer to me, but why wasn't I scared at all, I looked up just to see a woman that looks like she was in her mid 40's she kept coming closer to me, I didn't understand what she wanted from me her eyes looked kind of teary as if she had cried and new tears kept forming on her beautiful grey eyes "mi..la" she called out stuttering, I looked around, maybe she wasn't talking to me but, she kept looking at me raising her hand to touch my face " oh Mila" this time she started crying I shaked my head no no she must be mistaken who the fuck is Mila "No, no I'm not Mila I'm Mabel" she looked at me with confused eyes I guess she couldn't understand English but I didn't understand Italy too, how to i now explain to her I'm not the person she assumes me to be, I clenched my fist in frustration uhhh.

"You are my Mila" she spoke in English which surprised me, oh she understands English, I thought she didn't but why was she calling me Mila, plus I didn't know anyone such as Mila " I'm not Mila I think there's some bit of confusion here, so let me explain myself ok" I said to her and she looked at me expecting my explanation "ok this is how it happened, I was coming out from a grocery store, heading to my hotel to have a good night rest I didn't know why and how it happened I felt like someone was following me and boom here I am tied up to this chair, so they might be mistaken just free me I'm not Mila okay" she looked at me with awe, looking at me worriedly as if I was sick, I didn't understand I Guess she's the sick one here.

"Come ti chiami" she said in Italy and I understand and replied her immediately "salve Io Sono Mabel" I said looking uncomfortable with the way she was glaring at me, then there came a manly voice, it sent shivers down my spine "Melissa let her go, she's not Mila" then the face came into view the man was about 5 ft tall he had a scar on his face, and he looked like he was in his late 40's, I smiled at him for understanding that I wasn't the Mila that they were looking for "um sir, if we're done here can you please let me go now I'm tired and I'm not comfortable here" I said trying to loosen the rope "sorry but I cannot let you go I have a favor to ask of you" the way he said he couldn't let me go made me furious, I don't understand why wouldn't he let me, I signed not wanting to get worked up "ok what's the favor" I asked already feeling irritated " we want you to replace our Mafia boss".

I screamed "WHAT?", Me Mafia boss but why " I'm sorry it came out of the blue, but I would like you to calm down so I can explain to you properly ok" this was too much I breathe in and out why would they want me to be a mafia, plus the boss this ess just too much "ok well the thing is, you looked exactly like our boss you both looked alike, when we saw you first we thought you were Mila, we couldn't even state out the difference's" he said looking sad "then what does that have to to with me,go find Mila" I said snapping at him "unfortunately, Mila died during the last contract she took, she was killed by bruna, her sister" he said with hurt evident in his voice, oh God that was touching but I wasn't ready to be a mafia "please we request of you to be our leader, we will help you with anything you need" he added "ok what If I said I wasn't interested" I asked looking curious "then we would have no choice but to kill you" he heaved a sign "why kill me I didn't do anything wrong just because I declined doesn't give you the right to think you could just kill me like that" I sneered "well if we don't kill you, Bruno is going to, because she has sent people to start monitoring you, she suspect Mila isn't dead yet, so she sent out her man to come for you so we decided to bring you here first we ain't forcing you to be our boss, just give it a thought, from the look of things you also had a messed up life, and I'm sure you want revenge on what everyone had done to you" yes he was right I wanted revenge I wanted to kill, I would do anything to revenge my mother that I promised her, I was looking like a physchopath at the moment but I didn't care, then the man added "we also want revenge for our boss, we will teach you everything about her, and I'm sure you'll learn quickly" I gave it a thought plus it would be advantageous for me, and I'll get my revenge faster without hindering I'll just have to learn, this shouldnt be hard I guess.

"Ok I agree, I am ready to do whatever you want" they smiled especially the woman seems she was the closest to Mila, now I'm Mila for the time being not Mabel Hudson anymore but Mila, for some minute I grinned devilishly, what was wrong with me, was I really a physchopath so i decided to do something crazy "um Melissa can you come closer just cut my hand with a knife I want to check something" she shaked her head disagreeing and kept moving back "just please do it I want to check what is wrong with me" I said looking her with reassuring eyes that I'll be fine, then she came closer I closed my eyes expecting the pain, I just felt the blade, slashed my skin, I opened my eyes expecting pain but there was none, no pain, wait is this a joke I looked at my hand there was a wound there and I felt no pain, the wound part started covering and new flesh covered it, I covered my mouth with my hand what was happening, how could this happen, I don't understand, I didn't have super powers, so who would explain what was wrong with me I cleaned my eyes with my hand to check whether I was daydreaming but, there it was, how's this happening,"oh God Lorenzo, she has the same power Mila has", she said looking excited as if it was normal how come my powers are just working now who could explain to me, feeling quite nauseous, oh God don't tell me I'm going to black out again, well I did I blacked out after discovering my powers I admit I was weak
