MY MAFIA - CHAPTER 17&18
❃ It is I, Your Husband ❃
~DAYS AGO~
“Hahahaha…hahahaha…hahahaha” Asshat guffaw derangedly.
“So…she’s pregnant? She’s pregnant!!!” She says amidst her laughter.
Reggie only kept her head lowered.
“Not only did she poisoned Flavio making him almost to lose his life, she even dare gets pregnant!!” She grabs Reggie’s hair hard.
“Ahh!!” Reggie writhes out in pains.
“Is that the truth!!” She demanded.
“Yes…yes it is…” Reggie replied trembling.
“f-__-k!!!” Asshat gave her a resounding slap, Reggie fell to the floor.
“I’ve been too laid back…I can’t let this go” She seethes.
* * *
Reggie with teary eyes, stares at the poison powder given to her by Asshat to put in Keziah’s food.
With shaky hands, she opens the lid of the small bottle containing the poison.
She was about adding it to the pastries but then stops, unable to.
“I can’t…I can’t…” She shook her head, trying to pour the poison away but then couldn’t on remembering what Asshat had told her, a day ago.
“If I ki|| you now, nobody will hold me for that, since you’re just a mere maid, I’m sure you’re aware of that?” Asshat says.
Reggie gulps fearfully.
“My life is useless anyway…you can take it. I’ll…never betray my friend. She did nothing wrong to deserves this” She said back.
Asshat couldn’t help laughing.
“What a devoted friend you are uh!” Asshat grabs her hair hardly, Reggie winces.
“No. I changed my mind. ki||ing you will be a waste. I can just make your life miserable. How do you think it’ll feel, when I ki|| your siblings and your mother instead? Ahh…your mother sold you so you probably wouldn’t be pained. But I hope you’ll still say the same thing, after your innocent siblings, got every usable internal organs of theirs, taken out and sold” She says making her gasps.
“Don’t…don’t touch my family! They have nothing to do with me now so please!! Just leave them alone! Don’t touch them please!!!” She cried out, begging.
Asshat smirks, running her finger on Reggie’s face.
“We’ll see about that…Sweetie” She smirks slyly.
“Don’t forgive me Keziah…I don’t deserve your forgiveness…don’t forgive me…” Reggie sobs as she adds the poison into the pastries.

Because Flavio, Whiskey and most of the mobsters left for a mission, it was easier for her to carry out Asshat’s orders.
After giving her the pastries, she had left her since it was unbearable for her her to watch her eats it and die right in front of her.
Another order Asahat had given was to sneakily get the keys from Whiskey to release her.
According to her, she wants to witness Keziah’s end herself.
Reggie had craftily gotten from Whiskey without him knowing also before leaving for the mission so after serving her the pastries, she went to open the door for Asshat.
Asshat came out and luckily for her, she saw Keziah struggling to the stairs so a cunning idea struck her and she pushed her down the stairs, watching her with a satisfied smile on, as she rolled to the floor, and writhe in pains until she gave up consciousness.
~PRESENT~
It has been few hours after Keziah’s incident before Flavio and the rest returned.
And on returning, he was met with the shocking sight of the unconscious Keziah in the pool of her own blood, right below the stairs.
For a moment, he felt his senses flew out of his head.
He thought, he was hallucinating.
No, he must be hallucinating.
But, it wasn’t an hallucination.
It was really what he saw.
It was really her.
*. *. *.
“Will she survive it?” Flavio asked and the doctor sighs.
“Hopefully, she should be able to. The poison has done some damages to her womb which makes her to lose the baby automatically, and she injured her head badly. I’m afraid she might have some complications later. As you saw earlier, she went into shock and it was quite hard to bring her back, because she was found too late…it makes her response to the treatment really low. We can only hope for the best” The doctor explains.
Flavio sighs.
“Make sure she lives. That’s your job” He pointed out and the doctor bows.
“I’ll certainly try my bes_ah!” A gasps however finished the doctor’s words as a gun got pointed to his head by Flavio.
“I don’t want your best. I want her living, by wh@??ver means it takes. If she doesn’t make it, consider yourself and wh@??ver dear to you…dead. Yes?” He said thr_@teningly to him, the doctor shakingly replies.
“Ye…Yes”
Flavio withdrew the gun and put it in his pocket.
“The one who made her like this…take me to her” He said to Whiskey, standing in silence.
*. *. *.
Reggie flinches on the floor she sat, as Flavio kicked the door opens suddenly, barging in with Whiskey behind him.
“Is she…the one?” He asked, his voice mild but dangerous.
Whiskey gulps down nothing and reluctantly, he replied.
“Yes Boss. She was in charge of taking care of her”
Flavio sighs out, and took a step closer to her, looking down at her menacingly.
“It was you, who did that to her?” He asked, intimidatingly.
Reggie shrinks fearfully on her standing, her legs shaking.
Her face was already covered in sweats and she keeps her head lowered.
Flavio took another step to her and this time, she stagger backwards and stumbled, falling down on her knees.
“Why…did you do it?” His firm lethal voice asks.
“I would like to hear your reasons” He added.
“Boss, I don’t think she was the one behind it. She was the one in charge of taking care and monitoring her, she wouldn’t have done that” Whiskey butts in, trying to convince Flavio.
“No. It was me! I fed her the poison. I did it!” Reggie however said otherwise, getting Whiskey to look at her.
She looks away, avoiding his gaze.
“I’m sure she must have a reason even if she did so. She must have be thr_@tened to_”
“I wanted her dead!” She cuts in, looking daringly at Flavio.
“She was being so annoying. She’s just a mere maid like me but, she acted as if she has the whole world in her palms! I h@??d the fact that even though she was just brought in not quite long, she already won your favor! She was made your personal maid and was even treated differently! I, a fellow maid like her was made to serve her! She is just a maid but! She was made to be treated like a queen, worst part of it, she even got pregnant…” She paused and laugh maniacally.
Flavio raised a brow at her, anger boiling in him at each words she spits out from her mouth.
She’s just a mere maid.
She’s just an insignificant being, how dare she…
“I got so upset so I couldn’t take it. I decided to ki|| that thing in her, and send her to hell also, so I poisoned her first then pushed her down the stairs, i did it all, I DID!!!” She spat out h@??fully shocking them to the bone especially Whiskey, who just stood dumbfounded.
In a jiffy, Flavio brought out his gun and point it out to her forehead.
She gasps out sharply, her system shaking in fear.
“And now, you’ll be the one going to the hell” He seethes angrily at her, his eyes darkening.
She gulps down slowly then looks over to Whiskey who’s gritting in anger as well, his palms balling tightly also.
As Flavio Ç0ç?ed the gun, he took a step to lunged forward and probably stop him but before he could, Reggie shook her head slowly and disapprovingly for him not to step in.
He halted in his tracks, and Reggie give him a sad smile.
POW!!!
The gunshot booms out, and the bullet ran into her forehead, her blood splutters out terribly, splashing on both Flavio and Whiskey, who had his eyes shut immediately.
With her lips parting, and her eyes not leaving Whiskey, she drop to the floor dead with her eyes widely open.
“Trash her body into the woods” Flavio’s harsh voice ordered, before walking away.
Whiskey slowly opens his eyes, to see Reggie on the floor, blood Oozing out from her head.
With slow steps, he walks further to her, dropping to his knees in front of her.
His eyes was misty, but a tear never dropped down.
He closed her opened eyes with his palm, then scoot her in his arms, he gave her one last look, and his expression hardened the more.
Without saying a single word, he took her out of the premises.
*. *. *.
After burying her somewhere in the bush, Whiskey went straight to Asshat’s room, with his expression as deadly as ever.
“Don’t you think you’re being too rude. I may be locked up now but, I’m still your boss. Don’t act too cheeky, it might lands you in more trouble you already are” Asshat said from the bed she’s sitting, painting her nails.
Puffing, Whiskey march over to her, raising her up by her clothes roughly.
“You look like a devouring bear, look at those burning lasers in your eyes. It could ki||” She jibed.
“How dare you…” Whiskey seethes.
“You think I don’t know, that you’re behind what happened to the woman Boss brought in” He says.
“So what if you know? Is there any proof to back up your claim?” She smirks.
“You’re unbelievable!! You did that to her and dare pinned it on an innocent maid!!”
“Maid? Ahhh…she?” She snickers.
“So?” She asks.
“Bit*ch!!” Whiskey spats, locking her clothes the more.
“You’re going to choke me if you continue this. Why? You want me dead!!!”
“Certainly more than that, I feel like crushing you into pieces, if I could have my way…” He grab her neck.
“I would certainly start now” He spats deadly, applying force to his hold on her neck.
“Why are you so angry! That woman has nothing to do with you as long as I can remember…or you developed some fifthly feelings for her?”
“Shut up!”
“If you ki|| me because of her now, you think she’ll be happy and come running into your arms, uh? Wake up! You’ll only end up ki||ing yourself by going after what isn’t yours!!! You think Flavio will let you get away, he’ll probably waste your f_cking life as if it’s nothing, like that Maid’s. I’m sure he must have dealt with her by now”
“I SAID SHUT IT!!!” He squeezes her neck more, obstructing her flow of breathing now.
“Argh!!” Asshat suffocates, beating his hand on her neck.
“I’ll crush you…I will…” Whiskey grits, strangling her the more.
Asahat’s eyes turned red, her mouth making choking sounds as Whiskey applies more pressure, almost cutting off her oxygen supply.
“Whi…ske…yyy…” She calls, chokingly.
“ARRGGGGGGHHH!!!” Whiskey screams out in immense anger and pains pushing her away.
She fell to the floor roughly, holding her neck.
Coughing and panting.
Without saying any more word, he turns dragging his feet out of the room.
~FEW WEEKS LATER~
As usual, Flavio sat beside Keziah on the bed, staring longingly at her as he has been doing for the past few weeks she has been in a coma.
Keziah laid on the bed unmoved, her eyes tightly closed.
Her breathing coming out softly, with her expression calm and peaceful.
Flavio’s hands went to her hair, stroking it gently.
“You must want to be punished, seeing how you’re not making any effort to get away from your slumber…” He sighs and stood away from his seat leaning down to her, He places his lips on her forehead, gently, closing his eyes.
The moment he did this, her eyelids flutters and it opens slowly.
“Hmm…” She groans slightly, and he brought his gaze down to her.
“Keziah!” He calls like the most happiest man on earth, his expression displaying the gladness of seeing her awake.
She wince slowly trying to sit up, and he helped her on doing so, taking a sit back on the bed.
“Are you okay? Does…does your head still hurts?” He asked concerned and she brought her hand to her bandaged head, touching it.
“Slightly…” She replied, putting her head down.
“But…who are…you?” She trailed slowly, battling her eyelids at him.
“You don’t know who I am?” He raised a brow questionably, surprised.
She shook her head indicating she does not, which got him wondering, if she’s being for real, or it’s just another deceptive trick of hers.
But the expression she has on right now, looks so innocent and confusing, real enough to make anyone believe her.
Enough, to make him strangely believe her.
“It is I…Your husband” He replied her softly, peering tenderly into her innocent eyes.
“What? My…my husband?” She mutters shocked, her brows raising in obvious amazement.
He nods slowly, taking her hands in his.
“I am your husband and you’re my wife. We got married a year ago, and we love each other” He said assuredly clearing any ounce of doubt in her, but he could still see some visible in her eyes.
“I waited a long time for you to wake up. You were sleeping for so long that I thought you weren’t gonna open your eyes ever again. I thought I almost lost you…once again, Keziah. I’m so happy, you’re back to me. I am” He gave her a heartfelt smile but she could only blink.
He brought his palm to her face, rubbing her cheek softly.
“Thank you…for coming back to me…Keziah”
“If you’re my husband, then what’s your name?” She rather asks slowly.
“Fredo. My name is Fredo” He replied.
The name sounding familiar in her ears.
“Fredo…” She mumbles, and the moment she did, he leans forward capturing her lips in, abruptly.
She gasps sharply into the unexpected kiss, her eyes growing large.
