MY Possessive Mafia Men

Chapter 174: Feeling Lonesome Chapter 174: Feeling Lonesome Angel

When the morning light first streamed in my window, my body felt slightly lighter, though my eyes only fell heavier. In a couple of hours, I had been awake for twenty-four hours. At my age, I really didn't handle it as well as I did when I was a little girl. In the early morning, I did some googling to find out which stuff I should buy, I had settled on multiple things, and I know it would drain my savings, but it would be worth it to feel safe. I waited until ten o'clock before I felt comfortable to leave my room. At this time, it would be bright outside and the street would be busy, giving me a safety blanket. No one would dare to do anything to me with so many witnesses, at least, that was what I prayed on. Before I went, I I armed myself with my trusted self-defense equipment. I also stuffed the bear back inside the box so I could throw it in the garage container on my way and put the note in the envelope with the pictures. As soon as I exited my building, I took a deep breath. Being outside in in broad daylight helped make me feel better about going alone. There was something about light that gave me a sense of security. It actually felt good being outside. I think I was more scared of being stuck in an apartment than being outside with pep, especially after finding out that someone had gotten inside my apartment without leaving marks. Though, remembering that I had been done, it followed in the daytime when I talked to Marshall and the next day to Riccardo, and when I left the police station. I didn't feel completely safe out here either.

Heading to the bus stop, I took a bus to the nearest best buy store. After I arrived at the store, I browsed, trying to find the thing I had seen on the internet. I didn't hurry as I took my time feeling safer than I would have at home. An hour later, I walked out with an entry alarm sensor as well as two cameras. Afterward, I swung by another store to buy a portable door lock which made it practically impossible for someone to break in through the door while it was attached. As I neared my building, I grabbed my phone and called my mother. My nerves were still fired, and I couldn't go inside my apartment without having someone on the other side talking to me, like a metaphorical hand to hold. She didn't need to know why I was calling her, but it would make me feel calmer knowing someone was aware of me in case, there actually was someone in my apartment. I could rest a bit easily when I had set up the cameras and motion sensor since I would know if someone was inside or not. But right now, I was going on blind. "Hi, mother." I tried sounding cherry on the phone, because she could pick up the slight distress in my voice. How was it that parents always knew when something was wrong?

"Honey, what is

what is going on? Are you okay?" Her warm voice filtered through the phone, settling my nerves a little.

"Yes, I am good."

"Why wouldn't lied.

"You tell me, you

ou don't sound good." She said, seeming suspicious.

She could always see right through me or in this case, hear when I had something I was trying to hide.

"I don't know what you want me to say, I am fine." I locked myself into the building and went to my mailbox.

"Is it about that boyfriend of yours?" She continued, dismissing my lie.

told him to answer it, knowing he wouldn't because of his aversion to talking. It turned out, the joke was on me instead because not only had he answered it, it also turned out that it was my mother on the phone and not Andy like I had thought. When I had gotten the phone back, I had learned he had introduced himself as my boyfriend rather than my dominant.
