The Stolen Mafia Princess

Pick Up Time

{Margo’s POV}

I hugged my brother back tightly, looking over to Damon and Carter who both looked confused, and Angelo who stood coldly in the doorway. “Did these delinquents hurt you baby sis! It’s okay, you can tell me!” Max said, pulling back and looking over me.

“No, they were perfect gentlemen, they even slept on the pullout couch and gave me the bed!” I said, pointing to the couch which had been brought to the living room earlier. The blankets were a sloppy mess on it, and a cup of orange juice sat on the floor next to it.

Angelo walked in, and stepped up to me. “Well that’s good, better than I expected of either of them. So.. who’s going to tell me about what happened in the club last night.” His eyes flickered with anger, and I felt afraid, truly afraid of Angelo.

I backed up, hiding behind Damon. “Angelo.. it was awful.. but we took care of it. Cater and I handled the situation. Your sister was hurt by someone who was a patron in the club. He will no longer be an issue, I can assure you of that. Your sister is also doing much better after a good nights sleep. I even made sure that she got up this morning and got washed up, and ready for the day, even made her breakfast. Speaking of which, you came just in time for breakfast!” Damon said, smiling brightly to my brother.

“Did one of these idiots touch you bambina?” He asked, his eyes narrowing on mine.

“Only to help me get away from the man that hurt me! Damon carried me, then once I made it back to the room, and saw for myself that he couldn’t hurt me anymore.. Carter carried me.” I said, peeking out. “Are you angry with me?” I asked, my voice hitching in my throat.

He sighed, “No, I’m never angry with you, I just want you to be safe. You being here with these idiots wasn’t my first choice for you, but I knew that they could keep you safe while I was away.” He said walking to me and placing his large hand on my shoulder. “Now, we have a big surprise waiting for you at home bambina, don’t worry about saying bye to Damon and Carter, they’ll be at the house later! Get your things, and let’s go!” He said, turning and walking out the door.

Max ran in front of me, grabbing my bags and following out Angelo. “I-I guess I’ll see you two later..” I smiled at them, then ran and hugged each of them. “Thank you both, for everything!” I turned and made my way out of the penthouse following behind my brothers. I could get used to being alone with them.. but I can’t let myself daydream. Both of them deserved someone who isn’t so damaged. Someone who can handle the harshness of the world, and someone without these scars.. I stepped into the elevator behind my brothers and kept my eyes on the ground.

Angelo sighed. “Are you sure you’re okay bambina?” He asked, placing a hand on my shoulder and pulling me closer to him. I wrapped one arm around his waist as his draped over my shoulder.

I nodded, then looked up at him. “Yeah, I’m okay.. just tired. Especially tired of people smacking me around..” I looked back at the ground. I saw Max and Angelo give each other a look. “That guy last night.. he said that he didn’t care who my family is.. that I was just a princess.. and he was going to teach me a lesson. I don’t think he succeeded in teaching me anything. He did get me pretty good though, my eyes are tender today..”

Angelo lifted my head so I was facing him and looked at me, really looked at me. “You have black eyes again baby sis.. but I can promise you, that this is the last time someone touches our bambina!” He smiled softly, one that I honestly wanted to believe.

I sighed, and grabbed his hands. “Angelo.. what have I told you about making promises you can’t keep?” I asked. His hands fell from my face as the elevator door opened and I walked out, heading for our car. Once I was in, I closed my eyes, laying my head against the window.

Max slid in beside me and pulled me up under his arm. “I know it’s hard to be pushed around and used like a punching bag. I’m sorry that you’ve had to deal with that at all. We’re here for you, always, just call, text, anything and we’ll be here! For now, try to get a little more rest, and get ready because you’ll be in for it when we get home. We’ve got a massive surprise, I just hope you love it!” He smiled brightly.

I smiled back, “I love you guys, so anything you’ve prepared or had a hand in, I will love!”

He smiled again, and reached around into a duffle bag and pulled out my makeup bag, and my white leather jacket. “Figured you may want these! You can fix your makeup in the car if you want!”

I hugged him and opened up my bag fixing up my makeup, and completely hiding the black eyes I was given last night. Once my makeup was finished we pulled in at our house. I slipped my jacket on, and fluffed my curls. I looked pretty, innocent, and pretty, which made me feel a certain way that I couldn’t explain. I smiled and put on a clear gloss, before stepping out of the car behind Max. Angelo walked up behind me, and smiled down at me. “Stay behind Max and I, this is a big surprise, and we want to make sure that no one sees you yet, and that you don’t see them!” He said sternly, but sweetly.

“Anything you say Angel!” I smiled, and tucked myself away behind them. We walked up to the house, and as the door opened I could hear a lot of people talking.
