Stalked by the Mafia Boss

Jace was getting better as the days rolled by. He could eat now and make more meaningful conversations but his skin was pale and he still looked lifeless, it worried Ade a lot.

The past few days had been hell for him, medications upon medications were administered. He had refused to come out, he hadn’t seen sunlight in a while and he also forbade anyone from drawing his curtains open.

He just wanted to remain in his room drowning in his sadness, reminiscing all the happenings of his life which only made him sadder.

Things are never gonna be right for me, He sighed, I will never be good for anyone to love.

He sat there on his bed staring into space, the meal placed beside him was untouched. He just stared into space as he played with the stress ball held in his hand.

The door opened and in came Ade, he got into the room, locked the door and walked towards the bed.

“I thought I made it clear.” Jace frowned, “I don’t want to see no one.”

“You have to eat.” Ade rolled his eyes at him ignoring his statements, “You have to eat and go out there, you can’t remain like this.”

“Who says I can’t?” He asked not taking his eyes off the empty space he stared at.

“If you remain like this, she’s going to fall in love with another man and have his babies.”

Jace head snapped at the statement, he reached for the gun at his bedside, “Dude.” He growled.

“Put that away.” His best friend snorted with an eye roll, “You can’t do it.”

He dropped the gun and fell back on the bed, leaning his body on the head board, he knew he couldn’t do it, he couldn’t shoot his best friend.

“Look.” Ade sat on the bed and faced him, “You have to get better, go out there and get your woman. If you just stay here expecting some miracles to happen, trust me you would get an invite to her wedding.”

Jace said nothing.

“Eat your lunch and take your meds.” He said standing up from the bed and walking towards the door, “And take a bath too, you stink, you stink like three days old semen.”

Jace smirked at his joke and watched him walk out the room.

He reached out for the tray of food and placed it on his lap, he knew he had no choice but to eat.

The bald headed man Korina had smacked with a tray was back again.

“You again?!” She growled as she reached the table, if she knew the order had come from him, she would have ignored.

“Hey.” Russo greeted, he flashed a wide smile at her and closed the files before him.

Korina replied with a snort.

“Hey pretty black girl.” He winked, “Nice to meet you again.”

Nice to meet you again?! She knew the man was definitely nuts, she slammed the coffee on the table making sure it spilled on his files, gave him the middle finger and turned to walk away.

Hell yeah, She smirked as she got into the kitchen, she wanted to get suspended again.

Korina sat at the back, hoping to hear her boss’s voice yelling her name soon.

She hoped for the woman to scream for her and tell her that she had been of bad behavior and was suspended.

She waited but she never heard Ms Susie scream, she even did a mini countdown to when she would hear the scream.

She lost patience after sometime and went out of the place only to meet with a scene that totally disturbed her.

The bald headed guy was with her boss, and they stood in front of the counter laughing and talking like old time pals.

She moved closer to them still unsettled by what she saw.

“Oh.” Ms Susie turned to her with a smile, “There she is.” She took out her hand and grabbed Korina pulling her closer.

What?! Korina was sure she was hallucinating.

“Our Good luck charm.” The woman wrapped her arms around her and hugged her, “Thank you.” She winked at her with a whisper.

What the hell was going on? Korina had every reason to believe that the world was coming to an end, She hugged me, smiled at me, even gave me a thank you.

“She’s such a lovely girl.” She saw Russo remark with a smile and she wanted to pull his teeth out with pliers.

“Okay dear.” Her boss patted her hair.

Dear? She wanted to smack the woman and get her back to her senses.

“You can go back to work now.” Ms Susie shooed her away as she retraced her steps with a confused look.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“The fuck was all that about?” Mark asked Korina immediately she got back into the kitchen.

“You saw?” She asked.

“Yes, I did.” He replied, “Now spill, it was hella weird out there.”

“I had no idea what that was all about.” Korina shook her head, “I can’t even think.”

“Wow, I can’t believe I just saw her in that kinda mood with you, can’t believe she did that.” He laughed.

“Yea.” Korina shrugged, “I am still puzzled myself.” She said, “As far as she ain’t planning on selling me out, I am good.” She sighed and then she tried to rid her thoughts of what just happened.

Anne dragged a mini skirt or of Korina’s closet and it got her wondering how it got there and if it was even hers.

“I thought you said you had none.” Anne attacked her as she pulled out four additional mini skirts, she dangled them in her sight.

“I swear I have never seen those, I have no idea how they got there.” Korina was still stunned as she looked at the skirts, two were jean and the rest were leather.

“Do you have crop tops?” Daniella asked her with a pointed look.

“No, I don’t think so.” Korina shook her head.

“Then what is this?” Her cousin showed her a lacy crop top and Korina just wanted to faint, what the fuck?!

“Wait.” She told her friends and paused to think, “Did you both sneak into my closet in my absence, did you?” She pointed at them.

“Uhmm.” Anne looked away from her.

“Daniella! Anne!” She called sternly, “Answer me.”

“Well…” Daniella said scratching her chin, “As a matter of fact, fans kinda actually move more electrical than mechanical and it causes fish beautiful scales, so frogs eggs wouldn’t be nice, at all they wouldn’t and maybe rams should be birds.”

“WHAT THE FUCK?!” Korina screamed at her cousin, “Have you fucking gone nuts?”

All the ride to the club Korina kept thinking of the nonsense that Daniella had spewed back at the apartment.

She thought about it while the other two girls chatted excitedly.

Fans? Frogs? Fish? Eggs? Rams? Birds? Korina shook her head, well coming from Daniella, it ain’t suppose to make sense, She snorted.

“What?” The girls turned to her on hearing her snort, “What’s wrong with you?” They also noticed the frown on her face.

“What’s wrong with me?” She turned to them, “I should be asking you both that question.”

Daniella and Anne rolled their eyes at her and continued their chatting.

Korina just sat there, hands folded on her chest, a constant frown on her face.

She remained silent all through the ride to the club.
