Chapter 16 "Contract"
We finally arrive to Mr. Castillo's home and boy is the view always beautiful. The mansion is spectacular and the garden is well kept. This is my second time seeing this place and it still amazes me. I'm feeling uneasy about being surrounded by Castillos and the red eagles, but if I play this right I should be okay. The car comes to a halt and Padilla quickly exits to open the door. I step out admiring the view more up close. Men are everywhere on the premises and the home is gated, which makes me feel safe knowing I'm safe from my father and his men.
Padilla takes my gun and walks me over to the front door. All eyes are on me at this point as Castillo's men examine me closely. The door is opened by a green eyed man with fawn hair. He symbols us to pass through, which we do. Standing not far from us is Mr. Castillo who is firmly keeping his posture. They way he carries himself and the blank expression he's known for is enough to intimidate me knowing I'm outnumbered in his territory. Any little mistake is enough to make him react and end my life. From what I hear he doesn't hesitate to do what needs to be done.
"I'm going to fucking kill them all," a familiar voice utters from the opposite side of the home. A voice that comforts me in the oddest way. Underboss and Israel walk into the room making their presence known.
As soon as our eyes become in sync with one another my body completely does what I never expected to do. My legs immediately start taking steps as my arms embrace him entirely. It's as if I was relieved to see him after what went down at his home. Violence and bullets aren't no stranger to me, but being hunted down by Graudyn it definitely leaves you a bit shaken up.
Leo's pov
As I stand observing the sight in front of me it's visible how there's a connection already between the two. This is good for we will need her from here and out. My son does his job very well faster than I expected. I watch his face a bit taken back not knowing what to do as Amoret hugs him, but he quickly follows allowing her to express her distress. His eyes wander over to Rios then towards me. He has my same blank expression as he looks at me. I can't detect what emotions are going through his mind as he stares at me, but I do know it isn't hatred nor even sadness. All I know that I must have a talk with him as unity is what is needed during times like this.
Amoret's pov
Underboss pulls away slowly as his eyes lock with mine almost observing me. My mind remembers that there are others in the room, which I immediately scold myself for being rude.
"Hello," I say glancing at everyone including Mr. Castillo. Everyone nods as their boss takes steps forward facing both underboss and I.
"Your information came back legit. However, I have one question," Mr. Castillo says as he blankly stares at me. His chocolate brown eyes are more intimidating being this close to him. I can feel every hair stand up as I have no idea what to expect.
"Yes Mr. Castillo?," I lowly respond.
"Why?," he raises a dark brow. All eyes stay on me as I remain silent looking at him. It's as if he's trying to look into my soul to gather more about me.
"I never wanted none of this Mr. Castillo. I never asked to be born into a mafia family. I'm simply just a slave to my father. I don't agree with any of it, but as you know whoever disagrees and doesn't do what they're told gets eliminated. Romanov just wants a guaranteed entry within your arms business that's all. I believe he could of been straight up with you, but due to the bad blood between the bloodlines he perhaps was afraid," I respond.
"What do you want from us? Why expose your bloodline?," Mr. Castillo questions after taking a few seconds of silence. I can tell he doesn't look convinced and doesn't trust me for the slightest as he shouldn't.
"My entire life I've been abused by Romanov. I want out," I say as I glance between underboss and Mr. Castillo. Mr. Castillo stays silent as he absorbs every information I just spilled to him.
"She can be useful," another voice I didn't expect to speak makes its presence known. Everyone turns their attention towards the direction of where this feminine voice is coming from. Down the stairs the queen of this mafia makes her way downstairs as she looks at me. Her emerald green eyes sparkle beautifully under the chandelier. Compared to her husband her eyes are pure. I can tell she's seen some things, but overall she's good.
"We can give you protection, but we need your loyalty first," Mrs. Castillo adds as she stands between underboss and her husband. All three standing firmly showing power.
"I ratted on Graudyn," I respond a bit confused.
"I'm sure you understand sweetie we need more than that. To be under our protection we need you as our informant. From now on you must inform us about all of Romanov's plans and his every move," Mrs. Castillo says with seriousness in her tone. Since I've met her she's been friendly and quiet, so seeing this side of her is new. Mr. Castillo stays silent only listening to what his wife says. This is exactly what I imagined would happen. However, playing this dangerous game it still causes every nerve within to tense a bit knowing this is where I need to play perfectly.
"I understand, but I must report back as well or else-"
"We'll take care of that you will have reports, so he won't suspect a thing, but first you must communicate with him to put everything into play," Mrs. Castillo explains as she takes a step forward pulling out a cell phone handing it over to me.
"This will be your phone from now on to use. I'm sure you know what to say. After all, you ain't no stranger to this lifestyle," she adds as she smiles.
As I take the cell phone from her hand ready to dial my father to push this new plan into action. It's the very same time I signed a contract with the Castillos. A contract that may of been too much that I bargained for.
I've never asked this before and would like to get to know my readers more. As well as to see how far my Mafia Series has reached.
Where are my readers from?
