The Mafia's Estranged Wife

Chapter 4

Stone looked at the destroyed car from the tree.

"Who planted that f**king bomb? how come I didn't notice" Stone asked inwardly, looking around.

He came down from the tree and he was surrounded by three men.

"Oh, my goodness" He facepalmed mentally.

Two of the men rushed to him, and immediately they reached him.

He grabbed their neck and pushed them to the tree, choking them.

A knife penetrated his back from the third man, and he groaned in pain.

He continued choking them despite the pain until they breathed their last and dropped their body on the floor.

The third man deepened the knife into his back and he groaned in pain.

Stone turned back, and slapped him twice before kicking his throat.

He fell on the floor like a rag doll and coughed out blood.

Stone picked up a branch and hit it on his head, making him pass out.

Gaza and Alessio stayed together as they looked around to see who shot the gun.

They looked at the trees wondering where the gunshot came from as they couldn't see anyone.

They heard a sound and looked up to see someone approaching them.

Gaza brought his gun swiftly, pointing it in the direction.

The figure got closer, they could see it was a man.

"Boss, don't shoot!.. It's Caleb" Caleb shouted, raising one hand.

The second one was dragging someone on the floor.

Gaza breathed in relief and shoved his gun into his pocket.

"This person shot Nyla," Caleb said as he walked towards Gaza.

"Let's see the bastard's face" Alessio mumbled.

"That's nice, I'm going to send his head and arm to his boss" Gaza gritted out.

Gaza lifted his unconscious face, and his eyes widened in shock.

"D...d... Derek" Alessio gasped in shock.

"This is unbelievable" Gaza scoffed in disbelief.

"This f**king bàstard leaked our secret to them" Caleb mumbled.

"I've been suspecting him since when I told him to collect a map and he dumped it" He said again

"Dump him in the car boot" Gaza ordered.

"Yes boss" Caleb replied, dragging his unconscious body to the van.

"S...s...stone" Alessio called in realisation.

"Where's Stone?" Gaza asked no one in particular.

"Always here boss" Stone replied as he jumped down from a tree.

Stone breathes in relief even though it's not evident on his face.

He loves and cares for all his gang members.

"Hey, when did you turn into a monkey?" Alessio asked.

"It's a hidden talent" Stone winked.

"Your back... you're bleeding" Alessio pointed out.

"One of those motherfuckers stabbed him" He replied.

"Take care of it before it gets infected" Gaza said and he nodded.

Stone's face lost its colour when he saw Nyla on the floor, soaked in her blood.

"Nyla" He called, rushing to her side.

He carried her to the back seat of the van, and rushed to the driver's side, starting the engine.

"Caleb, you're coming with us," Gaza said.

"Boss?" Caleb called, wondering if he heard him.

"Do you want to follow him? Cos you may die before you reach the clan due to reckless driving" Gaza asked and he shook his head in disapproval.

He picked up the two black bags containing drugs and money in the car.

"I can't believe... I almost died because of these tiny bags" Alessio whined.

"Stop blabbering and let's go to the clan," Gaza said and eyed him.

Stone paced around the clan hospital, waiting for the doctor to come out of the operating room.

A pair of arms wrapped around his shoulder.

He turned back to see Alessio and Gaza, looking at him with concern.

"B...b...boss" He called.

"She's going to be fine, trust me" Alessio assured him.

"She's a strong lady," He said again and Stone nodded.

Gaza's jaw clenched in anger as he stared at his back.

"You've not treated this wound, do you want to f*****g go armless?" He glared at him.

"I just want to... Gaza cut him off.

"Go in and treat your wound, I'll stay here," He said and Stone nodded, walking into the hospital.

"I can't believe he's still in love with Nyla, It's one sided love" Alessio mumbled.

"At least, he's better than you" Gaza mumbled.

"What's the difference between you and me?" Alessio scoffed in disbelief.

"I'm getting married" He replied and stuck out his tongue, knowing he won the argument already.

"f**k you" Alessio stomp his shoe on the floor like a baby in anger and walked away.

"And your ass as well" He chuckled.

"Brielle, your make up artist is here" Martha announced, knocking on her door.

But she heard no response.

She opened the door and gasped in shock, seeing empty alcoholic bottles scattered on the floor.

Brielle sprawled on the bed, sleeping heavily.

Martha looked at the wall clock and cussed out loudly.

"The wedding is at 9 am and it's already 8:30 am" She closed her eyes tiredly, not knowing what to do.

"Wake up," She hit her slightly and Brielle mumbled incoherently.

"WAKE UP" Martha shouted and she jumped up from the bed instantly.

"Who died?" Brielle asked, looking around.

"It is you" Martha replied.

"Because you're going to die in the next 20 minutes if your dad didn't meet you downstairs in your wedding dress," She said again.

"Is it today? Argh!" She groaned in pain, holding her head.

"Who the hell have a hangover on their wedding day?" Martha sighed in frustration.
