Smitten: A Mafia Romance — Chapter 86

Korina was angry and furious on day one after breaking up with Jace, she had destroyed literally everything on her path, even when she received a text from Claire stating Jace was unconscious in the hospital, her anger didn't lessen.

"He deserves it!" She yelled, "That bastard, he deserves to die."

Even Aunt Dido had tried to calm her down despite her own grieving self, Korina's anger never lessened it only worsened and eventually she was left alone.

On the second day, she finally cried, she cried her heart out mourning for her mother, knowing that her mother died at the hand of the man she loved, the man she loved killed her.

All the memories came down on her and she cried at each one. She didn't move from her spot on the bed that day, despite all the knocks at her door, she didn't move.

She just drowned in her tears missing her mother asking why she left.

She mourned the death of her mother.

Ade never left his best friend's side by the hospital, he shed tears staring at Jace's lifeless form, the doctors weren't sure about Jace's condition and it was the third day.

Korina didn't stop crying on the third day, she cried cause she missed Jace. She cried for she was in love with the wrong person or maybe she thought she was.

She missed his touch, she missed her lover, she missed his voice, the way he smiled at her, the way he cared for her. She missed Jace's cooking. She missed having him near her at arm's reach, she missed her mother's murderer.

On the fourth day Korina agreed to converse with Aunt Dido and her friends.

"I can't believe this aunt." She cried burying her head in her shoulder, "I can't believe he would do this to me."

"It's okay." Anne tried to comfort her, "Stop crying."

Daniella just sat in the corner, she was mute, she couldn't process all what had happened.

"I can't handle the pain." She sniffed, "I am even carrying his child, how did I let myself get fooled and be this stupid?"

"you aren't a fool." Anne rubbed her back, "You are just a human in love."

"Korina let's be fair here." Aunt Dido said, "He didn't do it at his own will."

"I don't give a fuck!" She screamed, "He killed my mother, lied to me, used me and kept it all away from me."

They all didn't say anything anymore, Korina's mind was made up, they all sat there in silence watching her cry out more.

Jace was awake and Ade was all over with glee.

"Where is she?" Was the first question he asked his best friend, "Where is Korina?"

"I don't know." Ade answered.

"What do you mean you don't know?" He asked harshly sitting up on the hospital bed but he lay back immediately at the pain in his head.

"You killed her mother man." Ade said, "What did you expect her to do? Stay behind and wait for an explanation?"

"Yeah." Jace nodded stupidly.

"If you were in her shoes, would you do that?"

"Look Ade, I can't let her go." He said, "You should have stopped her when she was going."

"Really?" Ade scoffed, "And leave you to die? Wow!" He stared at his best friend, "It seems the bullet wound affected your head cause you sure ain't thinking straight."

"Have you heard from her?" Jace asked.

"No man."

"Why the fuck ain't she here?" Jace growled.

"You did something terrible to her and you expect her to hang around fucking stop it, you acting like she ain't hurt."

"Get out Ade!' Jace growled, " Get out!"

"Oh, so now you are pissed?"

"Just get out." Jace said weakly this time.

Ade shook his head and left the hospital room slamming the door behind him.

Korina packed her things on the fifth day, she packed everything about her and everything she possessed at Jace's place and had them moved out.

"Are you sure you wanna do this?" Daniella looked at her cousin.

"Yes." Korina shook her head, "I want to there is nothing here for me anymore."

"I am coming with you." Daniella blurted.

"You don't have to Dan." She said, "What about aunt?"

"I have to go and find my own life, I am no longer with landon, I need a fresh start too." Daniella explained.

"Are you sure about this?" She asked.

"Yes, I am." Daniella nodded, "It would be better for us both."

Korina nodded and drew her cousin into a hug.

The trip to the airport was very short, they got down from the car with their luggage.

"So, you both are leaving me behind?" Anne asked teary eyed, "Come here."

She enveloped her friends in a big tight hug.

"I am gonna miss you both." She whispered, "You are lucky I am rich, I am gonna fly all the time to Spain to see you bitches."

"My turn now." Aunt Dido said hugging the girls, "God bless you both and protect you."

They stayed together in the hug for a while before pulling apart and having each other goodbyes.

"I know why I ain't fortunate In love Dan." Korina said as they put on their seat belts, they were in the plane now.

"Why?" Daniella laughed, "Why do you think you have bad luck?"

"I am Korina." She said, "It means maiden, I am living by my name."

Daniella shook her head and turned back to her magazine, it was gonna be a long flight.
