Taken By The Mafia Lord

612 Last Wish

The instant Natalie found herself on the outside of the fence, a car screeched to a stop in front of her as if it had been waiting for her all along.

“Get in, now!” Jason yelled at her, pushing the door open and Natalie didn’t waste any time, no, she didn’t even dare to look back as she literally jumped into the car and Jason took off, driving like a madman. They had to get away from here before Daniel’s people decided to give chase.

And just as they thought, Daniel’s assistant was just about to order that the car be tracked down when Daniel grunted from the ground where he lay, “Let her be,”

“B-but -” The assistant looked between him and the fence Natalie jumped over in confusion. Someone just shot the boss, isn’t it right that they go after the person? Did the gunshot affect his brain by chance?

“Do as I say,” Daniel was firm in his decision and his assistant couldn’t disobey him. It left him no other choice but to return to the boss’s side and helped him sit up while Daniel’s face was twisted in pain. That gunshot wound hurt like a bitch.

“We have to get you treated,” His assistant said.

“Call the doctor and inform him that we’re on the way while I put pressure on the wound,” Daniel groaned in pain as he pressed down on the bullet wound. Natalie got him real good this time and he was a fool to have trusted her. But even at that, he couldn’t let his people go after her. Natalie was his to handle, no one else.

“Are you sure about this? The bleeding looks pretty serious and I don’t know how much time we have.” His assistant was concerned about him, “We could explore other options like the hospital, you know?” He suggested hesitantly.

“Yeah, try and get me killed,” Daniel was in the mood to sass at him even in his condition. He couldn’t count the number of enemies he had and the hospital was the perfect place to end him quietly. The security was weak and any of the doctors or nurses on duty could be related to the family of those he harmed and could very well send him to the land of death with just one injection. Yeah, he was a paranoid bastard.

.....

Even if that didn’t happen, if news like this went around that he was weak, Daniel couldn’t tell the kind of trouble that he would be inviting. There was only one person that he could trust now and that was himself.

He said to his assistant, “I’ve survived worse fate than this one, so trust me when I say that it is not my time to die yet. So get your asses moving. ”

Supported by two of his men, Daniel was helped back to the car, and Claudia and her family who had been anxiously waiting for his return all this while were shocked to see him in that condition. Did that made woman do that to him? That could have been them in that condition or worse.

When Daniel went into the car and settled at the end, his assistant came to the window side to ask, “What do we do about them?” He looked at the family suspiciously.

“Bring them along gently, they are my honorable guests. However, if they refuse to cooperate, you’re free to tie them up and bring them home.”

“Yes, boss,” His assistant liked the second option better.

However, just as he was about to leave, Daniel called him back, albeit groaning from the pain a little. He took long, deep, breaths before saying, “I want you to contact my son, Marcel. If I’m going to die, I would love to spend my last moments with him.” That was his wish.

Meanwhile, the silence between Natalie and Jason was so thick, it was disturbing. Natalie knew what she was going to face once they got home, however, her jaw was set stubbornly as if refusing to admit she had done something wrong.

In Natalie’s defense, it was due time that she came and saw her daughter already. She just never expected that things would turn out the way they did and that the least of all people, Daniel, would show up. Her once quiet life was about to be tossed upside, Natalie knew that one quite well.

Just as she thought, the silence lasted until they got back home and as soon as Natalie stepped out of the car, Jason was already galling her.

“What were you thinking?! All you said was you were going to know about Edward, not cause trouble that almost got you killed!” He remembered and said sarcastically, “And oh, congratulations, Daniel would have a fun time searching for you now he knows you’ve been alive all this while!”

And that was enough to make Natalie snap and she turned to Jason with blazing eyes, “You want to know what I was thinking, huh?!” She licked her lower lips, “Well, I was thinking about Edward who had to die long before I could meet him and thank him for all he has done for me!”

She went on to say, “I was thinking about my daughter who I thought had a pleasant future all along, but it seems that she would have been better off with me! I’m mourning the time lost between us! The time I could have spent with her and held her in my arms and watched as she grew up into this wonderful woman! But then, it turns out that all of my sacrifices had been for nothing! So excuse me, if I’m the least concerned that Daniel knows that I’m alive.” She added under her breath, “I hope that shot finishes him anyway and I wouldn’t have to try and kill him again,”

“What do you mean by that?”

A voice asked from behind her and Natalie stiffened instantly.

Fuck! She sighed, closing her eyes. This was not how she wanted him to find out. However, the deed has been done and Natalie slowly turned around to face Eric
