Chapter132: mafia boss

Alex heard his wife ask and he stiffened even more than he was right now." Baby, it's not what you think?"he said and Kim looked at him.

"What I'm I supposed to think? You have a collection of fucking guns in our bedroom Alex. What I'm supposed to think? God, what are those guns for?"she asked tears flowing down her cheeks.

"I'm not what you think baby. I.. the... guns are.. fuck!! Okay, I do have something else I do other than normal business. Please just listen to me okay."Alex quickly said because he could see those wheels turning in his wife's eyes.

"A business that involves guns? Let me guess, terrorism, robbery, assassination. What more would involve guns..."

"Baby, no. Please listen to me. It's not any of that. Maybe it could be assassination but I don't think it is. Please don't cry and just listen to me."Alex said panicking when he saw Kim breath in harshly more tears running down her beautiful cheeks that had turned red from all the crying." It's our family business okay. I'm just taking over from my dad. My ancestors started it."Alex immideately explained it.

"A business of killing people? Alex, that doesn't make sense at all."she said.

"It's not killing people technically. It's a mafia group. We don't kill innocent people baby. Listen to me, we..."

"Are you hearing yourself right now Alex? That's insane. A mafia group? You are what, the boss."

"Yes. I'm the boss. I don't have any other choice other than take over the business. It's generational and it's my reign but to make you feel better, I don't spend time there. I just give instructions and it's not necessary to kill someone. We just don't kill people, we just kill threats and offer protection to where we've been offered some job...."

"Just stop. Stop!!is that even legal? My God Alex, is that why you said you are in trouble? That is so dangerous. You could get hurt Alex. You could...oh God... you could... get killed..."she said screaming.

"Baby, everything is fine. My grandfather is still living, and my father too. I won't die. Furthermore, I'm not involved in it like what some other mafia bosses do. My life is different from it. It's separate from the Mafia life. I face threats all the time but I'm fine..."

"Threats? Alex, are you always in trouble? Is that why people are after me because they want to get to you? I just don't even know what to say."Alex heard her say that and he sighed. He lied to her being in trouble because of him because he was using himself to cover the real deal. If she ever come to know the truth, things won't be good for him and the people involved in keeping the secret. People are after her not because they want to get to him it's because her stupid father is an asshole.

"There is nothing to worry about, because I have enough people to protect you and me. You don't have to worry."he told her smiling maybe she'll calm down.

"Those guns are not staying in our bedroom. I want them gone." She said feircely and Alex nodded. He'll get the guns out of the room if that's what she wants. As long she's happy.

"Okay baby. Are you okay now? You are not mad at all?"he asked holding his breath.

"I'm mad I just don't know how to react. You are a fucking mafia boss and I didn't know about it and you kill people, a situation I don't know how to feel about because you are my husband and I love you and... God Alex, that's really dangerous. I can't help but be worried. That's why I don't know what to do because my worry is really strong that I can't even react how I'm supposed to do right now. I should be really mad but I can't. You are my life and your life is my life and now I just realized I... You know what, I need to go sleep. I need to sleep and process everything."Kimberly said and Alex nodded. He's happy she's worried about him.

"It's okay baby, I'm gonna take you to bed."Alex said lifting her and he went upstairs with her in his arms."sleep baby."Alex coaxed her when he was climbing the stairs with her and Kimberly snuggled closer to his chest and she closed her eyes. By the time, they reached their bedroom, she was already asleep. He sighed and he went to put her to bed but she couldn't tuck her in. Her hands had tightly formed a fist in his shirt." You really don't want me to go, do you?"he asked chuckling even though he knew she was asleep.

Alex slowly and gently removed her hands from his shirt then he tucked her in bed comfortably then he took out his gun from where he had put it in his pants. He looked at the safe and decided that he will get the guns out tomorrow. He can't afford to offend his wife again. He went to take a shower then he later came wearing his pajamas and he got in bed. Kimberly immideately snuggled to him holding on to him like a kaola. He smiled and he wrapped his hands on her waist and he too slept.

I woke up feeling all tired and I looked at my side to find Alex was not in bed. I could find some creases on the sheets so I knew he was in bed he just maybe woke up before me. I instinctively looked at the safe where his guns are but I found a note stuck there. I got out of bed and went to read the note.

"Baby, I'm sorry for everything but I got the guns out. You can open the safe and see there is nothing in there. I love you so much wifey ❤️."the note read and I smiled. I looked at the safe again and I really wanted to see if there was really nothing. I looked at it but then I wondered if it will open at all because it needs Alex's finger prints. I sighed but I decided to try. I put my index finger and it opened but what followed was flowers falling on me from the safe. Did he just replace guns with flowers? And many flowers for that matter.

I fell down with more flowers falling on me. I smiled at how crazy Alex can be sometimes. He's really romantic sometimes and I love him even though he's the only person who makes me cry the most in this world but he also makes me laugh the most too. He's destroys me but also builds me up again.

The flowers stopped falling and I sighed. I was sitting on flowers as well as some all over my body.

"You like them?"his voice came from my left ear and I turned to look at him but then my lips met with his like a head on collision. I opened my eyes wide and I pulled away and he chuckled."that's good way to say you like them."he said.

"It wasn't intentional but I do like the flowers. They are really beautiful."

"So you are not mad at me right?"he asked and I see what this is.

"I don't know but I will of course talk to you, I can't ignore you because you are not ignorable. That handsome face of yours can't be really ignored but that doesn't mean I'm not mad. I'm really mad but I'm not sure if I'm mad."I said and he chuckled.

"That's confusing. You are mad but you are not sure if you are mad? Anyway, I don't care, as long as you are talking to me. I can't live with you ignoring me."he said then he reached to his pocket and got something, "I got something for you."he said then he came and squatted in front of me and took my leg.

"Is that an anklet?"I asked surprised but happy. Damn, I've always wanted one.
