THE MAFIA'S PENANCE

LOVE HIM AGAIN

Arthur looked at me very seriously after hearing what I said. Maybe what came out of my mouth was so absurd that Arthur still silently looked at me and did not immediately respond to my words.

"What are you saying, Viv?" Arthur still looked at me fixedly. His gaze radiated disbelief at my words. "Why don't you want him dead?"

Now I'm struggling in my mind to find answers to Arthur's questions. I also don't know why I don't want Vernon dead. As much as possible I was looking for a reasonable answer but it was very difficult, even I did not know what the real answer was why I did not want Vernon dead.

"Do you remember anything?"

"What?" I was confused to answer Arthur's question. "Remember what? What do I remember?"

Arthur immediately withdrew his gaze from me and got up to his feet. He put the glass to the table and then walked over to me, who was standing right from the start.

"Viv, why don't you want Vernon dead?" Again Arthur asked.

For a moment I rolled my eyes looking for answers. Although there is no good answer, as long as I give a cliche answer, I think it does not matter. Arthur will always trust his beloved brother.

"I don't want to be the widow of a dead man. I'm going to part with him and I think my reputation is much better if I'm the one who asked to part with him." My answer. That's the only answer I'm thinking about right now. Junk answers.

Arthur reacted by winking his eyes twice after walking away from me. He took the television remote and turned it off immediately.

"Art, do something. Find out Vernon's whereabouts, and help him." I cried once again. "When he and I officially divorced, you could kill him."

"It's not that easy to kill him." Replied Arthur leaning against the table while holding the glass he had already poured out the contents again. "Whoever will not kill him easily. Sacra Unita or me though."

"What do you mean?" My toot.

Suddenly the door opened and Renata entered, who was walking very fast towards Arthur.

"Art, you know, Camorra also attacked Sacra Unita's headquarters in Puglia." Excited Renata while walking in. "Come Art, we have to get there, we have to watch it up close."

Arthur chuckled at the words of his fiancee who immediately embraced him. What Renata said confused me. Camorra also attacked Puglia, the headquarters of Sacra Unita? Was Vernon there?

"What's up, Viv?" Renata asked looking at me. "Are you worried about your husband? You take it easy, it looks like he's okay."

I looked at Renata with a feeling that I did not understand right now. Did Arthur know that Vernon was going to attack Puglia and not Genoa?

Suddenly Arthur's phone rang, Arthur casually answered after Renata picked up the phone on his desk.

"Yes Pablo, is everything done?" Arthur asked his right hand at La Nostra. "Good then." After saying that Arthur hung up the phone.

"What's up, baby?" Renata hugged Arthur.

"Sacra Unita finally pulled back his men from Genoa after his base was crippled by Camorra." Answer Arthur.

The news made me feel relieved. Then that means Vernon's fine now. The instant my anxiety disappeared now made my breathing become stable again.

"If so, means that the business in Genoa will be controlled by Camorra 80 percent? Doesn't it matter La Nostra only has 20 percent, Art?" Look at Renata with Arthur.

"You don't have to worry, Viv. You can part ways with Vernon and your reputation is still fine. Immediately submit your divorce. I'll have Alec sue her." Arthur smiled at me.

"Yes, I can't wait to get divorced from him." I answered while walking towards the exit.

Although I feel relieved at this time because Vernon is fine, but hearing Arthur's words about the divorce makes me become disturbed.

I went back into the room and sat by the bed, thinking about the reason for my concern for Vernon. I'm trying to figure out what the real reason is why I don't want that guy dead.

"I think you're starting to love her, Viv." Sesya exclaimed as the two of us spoke in my room the next day. "Just because you love her that's why you're so worried about Vernon. I think it makes sense."

On the bed I lay down thinking about the answer Sesya gave me. My best friend was sitting on my left on the seat. The time is now two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Do you love her, Viv?"

"That's impossible. I didn't love him, even when Arthur took me I was so happy. So loving her was something I couldn't feel for her." I answered with no enthusiasm.

"Then why don't you want him dead? Is it because you feel like you don't hate her much anymore after almost two months together? Yes, however, during that time you spend a lot of time together so the chances are very great if you have a relationship and make you two close." Sesya said sitting on the bed beside me lying down.

"So, I don't want to think about it anymore." I closed my eyes.

"What's wrong with you? You okay?" Sesya held my forehead with the back of her palm. "Your face is pale, aren't you feeling well?"

"Since waking up I've been feeling unwell." I opened my eyes and looked at Sesya. Sesya's face looked worriedly at me. "Somehow I don't have an appetite and get lazy to get out of bed."

"You said Renata? Let him check on you." Sesya. "Is it because of your longing for Vernon? Yeah, well, you miss him so much that you don't have an appetite and you're lazy to do anything."

"No, I don't miss him. I don't want to meet him at all. I wish we didn't see each other again. We're getting a divorce, tomorrow Alec will bring our divorce papers." I refute with no spirit.

"Have you contacted him? You don't want to know how he was after the attack? Maybe he misses you too."

"Why did I contact him? I don't give a shit about her. I just don't want her to die, it doesn't mean I love her or miss her." My answer. "Now let me rest, Ses."

"Alright, I also want to go with one of my girlfriends." Sesya said as she got out of bed. "I'll find Renata so she can see your condition. I'll go first, Viv."

I picked up my phone as soon as Sesya left. In reality since yesterday I tried to contact Vernon, but even though the man did not answer the phone from me. Even the message I sent asking for his condition has not been read.

Although I tried not to think about Vernon, it seemed that what Sesya said was true. I miss her, and I could have started loving her again.

"Why don't you answer that, you son of a bitch?!" My meaning of being upset after my phone still went unanswered by Vernon.
