Tempting The Mafia Twins (Genesis and Kiefer) novel Chapter 49

Eye Opening Panic-1

Exhausted didn’t begin to describe the way Genesis was feeling. The emotional fallout of the last few days was catching up to her in the worst way. As they returned back to the house, after hours at the aquarium followed by a shopping trip where Egan was spoiled rotten by both his father and uncle, who bought him everything he even glanced at, she was over it all.

Kiefer was respectful and gave her space for the remainder of their time out. While she didn’t want to be with him, he’d kept his distance, and it felt unfamiliar. When they arrived, before entering the front door, he turned to Egan, Tadgh and Jerren and asked if they’d do a rematch of the soccer game from earlier since he’d missed out and she noted he didn’t include her in the invitation. Egan was delighted of course, and they’d all gone to the side lawn to play while Kiefer told her to go inside and get some rest and some quiet time while she could. She’d been grateful for the reprieve from their company.

But then, the old feelings of fear and panic which used to fill her each time she was in the mansion when Kiefer would leave for work suddenly slammed into her. Her heart pounded with vigor, smashing against her ribcage, and leaving her breathless. Entering the house with him not inside was rendering her into a steaming hot mess of terror.

Her legs didn’t feel capable of supporting her and she automatically moved to where the bench in the main foyer 17:00 always sat only to find it gone, replaced with a giant fishtank which used to sit in the library. Stumbling towards the stairs her head was reeling, a buzzing noise filling her ears as blood pounded through her veins at an alarming rate out of nothing but sheer panic.

Memory after memory assailed her brain.

“Oh, look it’s the fat-ass green card wife. I can’t wait for my brother to get his citizenship and then put a bullet in your head, so we don’t have to look at you anymore.'

“Genesis, you’re so pathetic. Did you know Kiefer told me I suck his cock way better than an inexperienced little girl like you ever could?”

“Laoise’s ashtray is full to the top. Hold her down so we can put the cigarettes out without getting ashes on the floor since her arse is so wide.

“You’re pregnant? Not in this fucking lifetime. I won’t allow you to have my future husband’s child.'

She could almost feel their smacks, the burns, the kicks, and the taunts as she fought against them in both her mind and her body. All the times she’d tried to fight back, ignore them, not engage, or engage, all haunted her with a vengeance as her mind played horrible tricks on her.

She was swinging her arms wildly and when one of the housekeeping staff approached her, Genesis landed a solid right hook to the woman’s face causing her to stagger back.

“Leave me alone!” she screamed at the top of her lungs and tried to crawl up the stairs away from the woman.
