Taken By The Mafia Lord

882 He Needs You

It was better than nothing, Angelica decided as she got home that night. While her daughter Adele still bore resentment towards her over her actions, she wasn’t cutting off their relationship entirely.

Once home, Angelica made herself dinner and settled down on the sofa to watch some late-night show – the same sofa that led to things between her and Daniel. No, no, she was not thinking such. She and Daniel were over and she would rather let the sleeping dog lie.

Deep into the comedy show, the bell suddenly rang but she ignored it, too involved in the screen. Moreover, she was not expecting any visitors and it was likely those naughty kids playing a prank on her again. However, there was an impatient ring the second and third time and for such terrible kids, they had quite the guts.

With no choice, Angelica left to go answer the door, determined to put an end to such a nuisance. However, her expression split into surprise when she looked into the peephole and saw the familiar face. What was he doing here?

With her hand on her waist, Angelica opened the door with a bored expression, “What now?” The young man had been with Daniel that day. He was one of his people.

Haz was startled, taking a step back before he steadied himself and cleared his voice saying, “It’s the boss, he wants you.”

And to that comment, Angelica responded by rolling her eyes towards heaven. She retorted, “Does he think that I’m his call girl or what? My answer is no.”

She said firmly and was about to shut the door, but Haz put his hand in the way, risking it getting injured. Her brows raised in concern when she noticed the way his gaze darted around nervously, he looked desperate – and in a hurry.

“Is there something that I don’t know? The last time Daniel and I spoke, he sent me this weird message about staying away and now you’re on my doorstep, looking like it’s flight or fight,”

.....

Haz opened his mouth as if he wanted to confess to her, but he shut them the next minute.

Angelica sighed, “You can forget about me coming with you if you won’t tell me what’s happening,” She turned her back to him just to hear,

“Wait! ”

She turned.

“It’s Marcel. No, Boss went out of line, and Marcel punished him. Marcel stripped him of the one thing he cared about and I have never seen him like this. He wants you. Just to talk to you. He’s lonely and you’re the only one he wants to meet.” Haz told her.

The blood drained from Angelica’s face when she heard it. Sure, Daniel was the villain, but he must be hurt this time. He has nobody by his side.

“I – ” Angelica was about to give in when she remembered the promise she had made to Adele just hours ago.

Oh no, her heart sank.

She had promised to give up on Daniel. But then, this was not the same, Right? Daniel was in pain and needed someone by his side. She would comfort him and be done with him. Moreover, this was a better opportunity to say goodbye than over a text. She would say it out loud, nice and clear. They were not good together. She had her daughter to think about.

“He just wants to talk to me, right?”

Talking only. There shouldn’t be any expectations, no demands, nothing. She can’t get intimate with him, not when she was trying to end things between them. God, were they even in a relationship in the first place? The both of them didn’t exactly get the chance to talk about that thanks to Adele’s interference.

“Yes, he only wants to talk,” Haz affirmed.

“Fine, give me a minute.”

When Angelica went back into her room, she was tempted to apply makeup and dress up a little, but then it hit her, why do that? After all, she was trying to cut off their ties. Perhaps, when Daniel sees her looking plain, he might even end it first.

So she only checked her teeth, washed her face, put on a coat, took her purse with her phone and things inside and she left. Angelica would have left with her car, but Haz offered to drive her and she gave in since he knew the way anyway. This would be the first time she was going to see his residence and was filled with anticipation.

However, that anticipation was soon filled with dread when she realized that Daniel practically lived in isolation. There was not a house in sight as they drove on and at a point, Angelica had this ridiculous thought that Haz was about to go murder her somewhere.

But why?

What did she do wrong? What if Haz was a mole and as it happens in movies, he wanted to use her to get to Daniel?

Oh no.

Thankfully, before Angelica could fulfill her stupid thought like jumping out of a moving car, they arrived at their destination and her jaw nearly dropped to the ground.

What did she just see?

Was Daniel trying to recreate the Great Wall of China or what? Angelica thought as she stared at the high fence. It was utterly ridiculous and hilarious.

However, Angelica’s delight did not last for long because she noticed the gloomy tension surrounding the place, and both of them were halted at the entrance.

“Who is she?” A stern-looking man with a weapon interrogated them.

“She’s the boss’ woman,” Haz said a bit nervously.

“I don’t know any other boss except Marcel and he gave specific orders not to let anyone help Daniel. She can’t come in.” The man stood his ground.

“Please,” Haz begged him, “I’m sure you have someone you love too. Right now, the boss – Daniel, needs someone by his side. You should know how he feels right now with his pride stripped off him.”

Hearing Haz’s words, the man looked at Angelica intensely as if trying to ascertain if she was dangerous or not.

He said, “Fine. Get in.”

Angelica released the breath that she never knew that she had been holding in.
