Stalked by the Mafia Boss

“You don’t have to do this mum.” Jace said moving closer to her, “Let me help you.” He took the plates from her and began setting them on the table.

“I am done with your laundry and the cleaning.” Ade announced entering the dining room, “The cleaning lady doesn’t even have to come in this week.”

“Thanks boys.” The woman said and gave them each a kiss on the cheek, “Let’s have dinner now.”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

She brought the food to the table and served the boys before joining them at the table.

“So how has the week been?” Claire asked the boys.

“Jace has been his idiotic self as usual.” Ade told her with an eye roll.

“Don’t make me pull out my gun.” Jace growled and Claire smacked him on his back.

“No guns at the table.” She told them, “Behave yourself.”

“Fine ma’am.” They both grumbled and kicked each other under the table.

“So Jace what have you been up to?” Claire asked ignoring their childish antics, “You haven’t really visited me much these past few days.”

“I have…” He started but Ade rudely cut him off.

“He’s been hanging out with Korina.” Ade said and Jace glared at him for the rude interruption, “He wouldn’t leave the poor girl alone and give her some breathing space.”

“She’s my woman.” Jace argued,”Why the fuck would I leave her alone?” He asked, “I am not a lonely ass nigga like you.” He smirked.

“Lonely ass?” His best friend frowned, “I still get more pussy action than you do, so who is lonely?”

Claire reached out and smacked Ade on his head, “Mind your language young man.” She warned him and Jace laughed at his friend.

“When are you bringing her over? Is it soon?” She asked, “I want to meet my future daughter in law.”

“Frankly, You wouldn’t be seeing her anytime soon ma.” Ade answered, “She doesn’t even know where Jace stays.”

“So, you still haven’t told her the truth yet.” She turned giving him an astonished look, “You haven’t told about your life or anything.”

“No ma’am.” Jace said lowly, ” I haven’t.”

“Ade?!” Claire turned to him.

“What did I do now?” He asked, “I don’t think I wanna be dragged in this.”

“Why didn’t you talk some sense into him?”

“I tried.” He shrugged, “But he’s an idiot.”

“Mum I am afraid she would leave me, if she knows.” He said, fear coursing through him each time he thought of the possibility that she could leave.

“And you think keeping it away from her is better?” She asked, “Take me to her today, it’s time to meet her in person.”

“No mum, no!” He exclaimed,”You can’t meet her, you will eventually but not now.” He told her, ” And besides you have can’t come out like that in public just like that, I kept you here for protection.”

“If you must know Jace, before you I was.” She rolled her eyes, “I can very well take care of myself and I helped you with training sometimes, don’t underestimate me.”

“Mum, please not now.” He pleaded hoping she would see reasons not to press him further.

“Fine.” Claire said, “Anything you say.” She dug back into her food.

“Let’s eat please.” Ade grumbled, “But in case anything happens, I warned you Jace, she did too.” He nodded in Claire’s direction, “We both warned you.”

Korina whined and Jace really felt like giving in but he couldn’t, he found it ridiculous and stupid.

“One more time Jace.” She pleaded, “I swear, it’s the last time.”

“Babe.” He sighed exasperated, “That’s what you said earlier.” He said, “And every last twenty times, come on.”

“I am serious this time.” She pouted, “Please… please… please.” She begged giving him puppy eyes and Jace’s heart melted.

“Fine, fine.” He said getting on all fours, “This is the last time I am giving you a horse back ride round the room, we ain’t toddlers Korina.” He explained.

“Yippe! Yayy!” She cheered excitedly and kissed him in the cheek then got on his back.

Jace crawled taking her around the room while she sang out loudly the nursery rhyme, ‘she be coming down the mountain when she comes’ like a child.

“When am I finally going to see your place Jace.” Korina asked looking up at him.

The couple were holding hands taking a random walk in town, stopping at nice places also and taking pictures.

“Soon Korina.” He answered tight lipped hoping she wouldn’t ask more questions, he didn’t want to continue the conversation.

“Why the hell do you keep postponing it?” She asked him angrily.

“Look.” He stopped and faced her, “I am ashamed of where I live.” He lied.

Korina rolled her eyes, “I don’t care Jace.”

“You wouldn’t like it one bit.” Jace said, “It’s run down.”

“As far as I am with you.” She looked up at him with loving eyes, “I don’t care Jace.”

He was about to respond when his phone began to ring.

Korina saw him look at the caller ID and watched as he stepped aside to answer it.

She stood there watching him, she depicted that from the movement and gestures he made, he was very angry and she pitied the other person at the end of the line.

“I have to go babe.” He came over to her giving her a kiss, “It’s an emergency, really urgent.”

“Okay.” She nodded and kissed him back.

Jace stopped a taxi soon, “Bye.” He blew a kiss at Korina and she waved back at him.

She watched the car move before stopping a taxi herself, “Follow that car.” The taxi driver nodded and did as told.

Korina laid back on the seat hoping for no one to see her.

“We are here ma’am.” The driver announced with a stop and she rose to look out the window.

She say a gigantic white mansion and saw Jace entering the premises.

She saw him waltz in and the security personnel greeted him like he owned the place.

What the heck is happening, She was lost for words.
