No One Knows The Mafia Lord

CHA 4: Her Kyle

WEST

"Our businesses have been doing fine except for the issue of switched imported goods and ammunition" one of the council members reported.

I held a meeting with all the council clans, they are to tell me how their businesses are faring because it's almost the end of the month.

So far there hasn't been any issues except for the switching of imported goods. I wonder who would have the courage to stain his hands. My eyes darted to Rosa who slowly stood up from her seat clasping her palms together.

Taking in a heave of weak breath, she answered. "I'm still working on it Miss West. I've gone to the wharf and made my investigations but so far there isn't anything fishy. I will get to the root of it Miss West" she assured and I gestured her to take her seat.

"This month would have been a total success if not for this one issue. But don't worry it will be taken care of, myself I won't spare the person behind it. So.....you all are dismissed, stay back Rosa and Aerith" I ordered.

Every other council members left expect for Rosa and Aerith. These two were one of the few persons I could trust with my life, just like the other members of our Mafia Clan I picked Rosa and Aerith from somewhere.

Aerith was at the lowest point of her life when I first saw her. Her boyfriend abandoned her, after few weeks she discovered that she was pregnant and her family did the same, they kicked her out.

I gave her a new hope and a new life but unfortunately, she lost her baby. From that seven years till now, she has learnt to be independent and strong.

Rosa, I met her five years ago; she's an orphan who was rejected and abused. I was glad that I had gone to the bridge that faithful day, there I spotted Rosa about to commit suicide.

I morphed many people from mope to gallant and feisty. Also I don't intend to stop whatever I'm doing, I'm going to make every single one of them pay; all those that contributed to my pain in the past, even though I've moved on I won't forget my aim of running a Mafia Clan; starting with the very government officials.

Aerith's voice pierced into my thoughts as she paced forward with a phone on her hand.

"Miss West, this was all we found on Senator Jerrick Romeril. We tried hacking into it but he has such a strong defined password" Aerith stated with her face straight and serious.

"Why wouldn't he? He's such a careful criminal" I rolled my eyes. I have totally forgotten I had kidnapped a government official, my avengers will start with him but I better lay low for the mean time.

I will get every single detail I need from him but as well I must apply some tactful conducts so as not to let the rat out of the bag.

"Aerith, we will continue this tomorrow but right now I'm exhausted and I need a nice night rest" I slightly faked a yawn. Of course they wouldn't let me be if I don't do that.

"Can I drive you home Miss West?" Rosa asked and I declined before I left the Mafia building, heading towards my car. I drove off in full speed following the direction to my house, it was already past midnight so the road was clear.

After a long drive I finally got to my mansion, the gateman opened the gate and I rode in. I parked my car at my parking spot and got down to stride into the house.

Some of my staffs were still awake, ever ready at my service. I paused in my tracks as I gazed at all of them, they all bowed their heads as a sign of respect.

"What's the time?" I asked with my eyes still glued at them.

"It's 3:35am in the morning Miss West" one of them answered

"Exactly, it's already morning. What could I possibly want, this early? Please you guys should get some rest" I suggested and made my way upstairs and into my room I went.

I took a luxuriate long bath, wore my night-gown and sprawled on my queen-sized bed ready to drift into sleep. Suddenly my phone began beeping, causing me to make a low guttural cry in my throat.

Who could it be that's calling me this early?. With my eyes still closed, I blind-searched for phone groping around my bed and answered the damn call

"Hello....." I slurred in-between my sleep mode

"Hello West, wait don't tell me you're still asleep?" he chuckled

"Hey Kyle.....is that you? Why did you call this early? I just got back home" I slurred once again like a reeking sluggard

His chuckle intensified almost sounding like a snicker. "Or you got back really late and slept off, my call only woke the sleeping beauty up. You're clearly oblivious of time"

"What the heck is wrong with you? it's just......" my harsh tone trailed off as my eyes were casted on the wall-clock in my room. The time was fu*king 7:40 am in the morning but...but how?, my eyes dilated in surprise.

I heard his snicker again and I huffed. So I really dozed off after my long shower.

"You got me, you've won this time" I muttered and her chuckles again.

"So tell me, how's my sleeping beauty doing this morning?" he asked

"I just woke up now and you're asking me how I am, seriously?" I snapped amusingly as I input the call on speak-out while I went to my bathroom.

"Of course, I'm certain you're going to have a hectic day today. Before I forget how are things over there?" he inquired. I headed towards my wardrobe and took in a deep exhausting breath.

"All the same since you left. When the hell are you even coming back?" I asked with a huff escaping my lips.

"West, you know there's a lot of work here; I can't just leave them unfinished. Besides I trust you're handling things over there, I'm also working on the switching of imported goods; it would be taken care of. You know I love you right?" he asked romantically and I giggled.

"Yeah I do, bye" I immediately ended the call nervously as a blush creeps up my face. After searching for something to wear, I made a choice of a Sweetheart black top and a pair of baggy blue jeans with my black high heels.

I'm a true lover of high heels, no need to argue about it. I rushed into the bathroom, took my bath, dressed up, wore my make-up and I'm ready for the day.

I went downstairs to find breakfast already served, I ate and drove down to the Mafia building. Aerith and Rosa were already waiting at the entrance. I got down from my car, approaching them gracefully; they bowed their heads.

"What do I have to do first today?" I questioned as I handed my fancy bag over to Rosa.

"Well you have to see Senator Jerrick" Aerith responded and I furrowed my eyebrows. There is no way I would go to see that p*****t this early.

"Hell no Aerith, he's going to ruin my day" I frowned and they both chuckled. I know it's funny but that man is a pain in the behind, I'm not ready for his argument this morning.

"Okay, we can head for Luminous Eternity Care" Aerith suggested

"That's better, I rather monitor my businesses all day than to see that moron" I spat with a breath of relief.

"Miss West I won't be joining you two. I still have an investigation to take care of" Rosa said and I gave her a nod of affirmation.

Aerith sat at the driver's seat of my car and I slipped into the back after waving at Rosa, Aerith drove off. Luminous Eternity Care is one of my many businesses, they take care of women's skin with beauty products; giving their skin a beauty glow that will last for eternity.

I have a project I'm handling, only Kyle knows about it. If it gets done, I won't have anything to worry about in life. You might be wondering who Kyle is to me, he's definitely not my boyfriend.

He's more of a family to me than a friend, he was the one who picked me at the lowest point of my life; when I had absolutely nothing to live for he gave me hope.

I met him when I was 15 and almost half dead, since then he has been the one there for me and I'll forever be grateful to him.
