Married to the Secret Australian Mafia

Cloud of Smoke



Thick clouds of smoke greeted Calvin when he entered the house.

The alarm bell was ringing and everywhere was covered with smoke that it was really hard to see.

Calvin, thinking that the house was on fire, rushed to the fire alarm control and activated the water sprinkler.

He went straight to the maids quarters but he saw no one, so he decided to go to the kitchen where he met the two grown up men that started the fire.

“What happened?” He asked.

“Hi Cal, we didn’t know that you were coming” Levi said and Calvin gave him a deadly stare.

“It was Edward, he forced me to cook knowing fully well that I don’t know how to !” Levi exclaimed.

“What do you have to say?” Calvin asked Edward.

“I asked him to just cook, I didn’t tell him to burn the house down” Edward replied.

Calvin ran his hand in the air as he listened to his two most trusted men’s useless explanation.

“Where are the maids?” He asked finally.

“We didn’t see them,” Edward replied.

“Now both of you let go, we will sleep in a hotel today” he ordered and started walking away with his two “kids” following him.

As they were approaching the gate, they heard the sound of footsteps coming.

“Boss” a woman stuttered when they reached the gate.

The maids and the butler were just returning from a party and were very surprised to see their employer who they haven’t seen for five years.

“I will be back tomorrow” Calvin said to them and went out of the gate.

The maids and the butler went into the house and started blaming one another.

“I never wanted to go to this party, you guys forced me” the butler said.

“Did we kidnap you? Last time I checked you followed us with your two legs,” the maid replied.

“Shut up all of you, we should be thinking about what Mr Dennis will do to us now” the head maid said.

“Yeah you are right” they chorused.

“Now everybody, start tidying up the house, maybe if he saw how the house is in the morning. He might pardon us” she suggested.

“Yes, Mrs Kate” they replied and started doing what she said.

“We at sorry Boss” Levi and Edward apologized for the tenth time since they entered a cab driving to the hotel Dorothy was in.

“Stop apologising or I am throwing both of you out of the car” Calvin threatened.

“Okay Boss” they chorused.

The cab arrived at the hotel and they got out, Calvin led them to the hotel’s restaurant and they all sat on a table.

Calvin dialled a number and ordered the person to bring his bag to him.

In less than three minutes, one of the men guarding Dorothy’s room came and placed a small bag on the table.

“Did anything happen?” Calvin asked him.

“No Boss” he replied.

“Good you can now leave” Calvin ordered and he left.

“Wow, this is a new hotel right? It is so beautiful,” Levi said.

“I can’t wait to see the room,” he added.

“Take this bag, it has some of the things you need, I will get the other ones when I get back to my house tomorrow,” Calvin said.

“Yes, Boss” Edward replied and took the bag.

“Now you can go,” he ordered.

Edward and Levi stood up and started going to the reception when Calvin asked them where they were going.

“To get our room key Boss” Edward replied.

“No, you guys are not sleeping here, go to the other one down the street” Calvin said.

“Okay Boss” Edward replied and the disappointed Levi left the hotel into a cab.

“It is not fair, he should have allowed us to sleep there,” Levi complained.

“And why have you been so quiet since?” He asked Edward.

“Levi, do you know what could have happened if Calvin’s house got burnt?” Edward asked.

“He is going to kill me?” Levi replied.

“No, he is just not going to kill you, he will starve you, skin you alive and then butcher you” Edward said.

“Well thank God that the fire sprinkler saved the day, I dont thi..”, Levi was interrupted by the ringing of his phone.

“How are you my love?” Levi asked as he answered the call.

“So you were not going to call me if I didn’t?” Mia asked from the other side.

“I have been so busy my love, please forgive me,” Levi said.

“It is fine, so how are you?” She asked.

“I am good, just missing you like bad” Levi replied.

“If you miss me, buy me a lot of expensive stuff when you are coming back,” Mia said.

“Of course, I am going to do that and more my love” Levi promised.

“Thanks, babe,” Mia said.

“So I just wanted to know how you were, I am hanging up now, I need to do some homework” Mia said.

“Okay babe, we will talk tomorrow” Levi replied.

“Bye sweetheart” Mia said.

“Bye my love, sweet dreams” Levi replied and the call ended.

Levi looked at Edward and saw that he was looking at him.

“What?” Levi asked.

“We have arrived at the hotel and was waiting for you to finish your call,” Edward replied.

“You shouldn’t have just told me,” Levi said and got out of the cab.

Edward gave the driver his money and got out of the cab too.

“Well this one is better,” Levi said, staring at the hotel’s building.

They walked into the hotel and went to the reception.

“Is your presidential suite occupied?” Edward asked the receptionist.

“No sir, it was checked out this morning, it will be prepared for you immediately” she replied.

“Please do, after it has been done, come and tell us at the restaurant” Edward said.

“Okay sir, I will do just that,” the receptionist replied.

Edward and Levi went to the hotel’s restaurant and sat on a table there.

“This hotel and the other one are actually the same, it is just that the other one has a more modern design” Levi said but Edward was busy telling the waiter his order.

“What should I get for you sir?” The waiter asked Levi.

“Just get me whatever you are bringing for him,” Levi replied.

“Are we a couple or what? Why are you ordering what I did?” Edward asked.

“Because I want to,” Levi replied.

“You are crazy,” Edward said.

“I agree with you, so have you called your girlfriend?” Levi asked.

“That is none of your business” Edward replied.

“Okay my bad” Levi said.

The waiter brought the food and they started eating.

Kelly was smiling as she stared at the picture of a guy on her phone.

“Have you ever fallen in love before?” Kelly asked her assistant manager.

She didn’t hear a reply and she turned to her and saw that she was sleeping.

“See how she is sleeping so peacefully, I wish I could sleep like that” Kelly said.

She switched her phone off and took a glass of milk and drank.

“Hmm so creamy” she said and kept the glass back on the table.

Her phone started ringing and she looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Mia.

“Hi Aunt Mia” she greeted when she answered the call.

“Where are you Kelly?” Mia asked.

“I am on my way to China,” Kelly replied.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“What ! Please tell me that you are joking,” Mia said.

“No, I am not Aunt Mia, let’s face time so you can see that I am on my jet” she replied.

“Okay fine, safe trip” Mia said.

“Thanks, take care Aunt Mia” Kelly said and ended the call.

“Boss please” a man pleaded, shivering.

He wasn’t shivering because of the cold but because of something that was about to happen to him.

“I told you to do one thing for me and you couldn’t, how dare you” Fred said.

He was pacing back and forth in the room with a gun.

“Tell me one good reason why I shouldn’t blow up your brain, Ken?” he asked.

“There is no reason, boss,” Ken replied and went down on his knees.

Fred took a chair and kept it on his front and sat down, “you were always good with your job Ken, what happened this time?” Fred asked.

Ken did not reply because he knew that his boss didn’t need an answer from him.

Fred has actually told him to get information about someone without providing a good description of the person or the person’s name.

“I want to make that goddess mine before another man claims her,” Fred said.

He stood up from the chair and walked towards the door, “follow me, Ken” he ordered and Ken obeyed him immediately.

They left the room and went to Fred’s office.

“I am going to give you a second chance but if you mess up again, I won’t hesitate to put a bullet in your head” Fred said.
