The Shark Mafia Boss novel Chapter 76

Raphael POV

I grab my jacket, keys and phone and walked out of my office.

“Cancel all my meetings and get Tim to call me” - I telly secretary while I walk out. Once I reach my car I take a seat on the driver side and connect my phone to the car.

I start calling Maria

“Hello?”

“Maria, did you get the phone call too?”

“Yes I did, I am on a cab as we speak”

“Okay I’ll see you there” - I say.

What the fuck is happening?

I drive as fast as I can and I park in the visitation area. I get out of the car and as I am walking through the door I see Maria. She is crying.

When Maria sees me she hugs me and I feel my heart skipping a beat.

“What happened?” - I ask while I caress her back.

“It was just too much”

“What?”

“Mr Lockwood” - the doctor says appearing from behind Maria.

“Doctor, what happened?”

“I am so sorry to inform you that Tammy passed away last night”

“What? How did that happen?” - I ask with shock in my voice.

“She used her sheet to hang herself in the bathroom “

“How did you let this happen?” - I ask facing the doctor and letting go of Maria.

Tammy was a bitch but she is the mother of my son. I wanted to kill her sometimes but our baby needs her. Even after she signed all their parental rights to me I was gonna let her be a part of our baby. How could she do this to him? How could she do this to her mother?

“She was doing a lot better sir, so we thought we could give her privileges”

“So you killed her” - I say now getting too close to the doctor.

“Sir, I am sorry for your loss” - he says

“I will destroy this place for what you’ve done” - I say with my face covered in rage.

“Raphael. Stop” - Maria says placing her hands on my arm.

I look at her not understanding what she is on about.

“She wanted this, at least we have the baby to remind me of her”

I face Maria and I can see her tears running through her face.

“Are you sure?”

“Please let’s go home” - Maria says

I nod my head and I look at the doctor.

“I will send someone to deal with the paperwork” - I say

“Yes sir” - he says and shakes my hand. I hug Maria and we walk out of the recovery centre. I thought I was doing the right thing to have Tammy committed here, she needed help, she was unstable.

I know that Maria is blaming me, but I thought I was doing the right thing for her and our son.

I open the door for Maria to get in. She looks me in the eyes and as if she knew what I am thinking she says - “it wasn’t your fault, it was the no-ones fault “

Maria sits in the car and I close the door. I can see the paparazzi taking photos and rage takes over.

“Why don’t you all piss off?” - I say when I get into the car.

I start the car and drive away. I drive slower than I usually do. I don’t want Maria telling me off.

The drive was silent. Tim starts ringing me and I answer.

“Tim?”

“Raphael, the meeting with the bank went sideways “

“Fuck, what happened?”

“They want to increase the insurance “

“Are you shitting me?”

“I’ll deal with it, just thought you would like to know”

“Thanks, if you can’t handle it today I’ll do it tomorrow, they won’t even know what hit them”

“Yeah, is Olivia okay?”

“Yeah, I’m going home now, I’ll talk to you later on”
