I Fell For The Mafia King

“Stop shouting. I’m just going to ask you this one more time. Who asked you to do this.” The man in front of me shivered with fear, his body was already bloody because of all the beating he has taken. “I-I don’t know. Please let me go. I don’t know anything.” “Do I look like a fool, you better start speaking, or else you will lose all your fingers?” It’s been three hours since I started torturing this stupid man, this morning I found out I have been stalked by this man for over a week, I’m surprised how I didn’t figure this out, I saw the man a couple of times but I never paid attention to that, I never really put much thought in it and this morning my senior brother Dominic informed me. “You better start speaking because Dominic and Ezra would soon be here and they won’t be as nice as I am.” I slapped the man one more time on his cheek grabbing his collar. I hit in one more time on his stomach I could feel his rip crack when I kicked him there one more time. “That’s enough Maya. We will take care of this.” I heard a familiar voice. I can recognize that voice fine anywhere it was Dominic. I walked toward him and hugged him. “Let’s pretend I’m not here at all,” Ezra said. I rolled my eyes. Everyone meets my junior brother Ezra, the dramatic one. It has always been me, Dominic, and Ezra. “Come on. I was preserving the best hug for you.” I hugged Ezra and he hugged me back. When Dommy found out about me being stalked he called Ezra, Ezra was pissed off, he is usually the angry bird, but he can’t control his anger. I know after this Dommy would tighten my security. “Let’s get started.” Dominick changed to mafia king mode, Dommy is usually sweet and nice but whenever he is in the office or at the warehouse, Dommy changes to full rude mode, and Ezra, on the other hand, is only nice to people he likes he doesn’t care. Ezra is Dommy’s second in command. “Are you going to tell us who told you to follow Maya?” Dommy said in a demanding voice. “I-I don’t know his name. He just paid me. I don’t even know how he looks.” The man said. “Well, it’s a shame,” Ezra said while picking up the bucket of cold water. After three hours of beating and torturing this man, he finally said it was the Russians, Dommy killed him immediately. Ezra, Dommy, and I left the warehouse, we just arrived at Dommy’s house. Dommy has been pissed off, he hasn’t said anything. “You will be staying here with us.” “No, I won’t, I am a grown-up ass woman, I won’t do that. I have my house Dommy.” “Dom is right, we can’t just allow you to go. Dad would be pissed off if he found out you have been stalked by a Russian man. We are just trying to protect you.” The truth is I don’t want Dad to find out, it took me two good years to convince Dad and mom I can finally be on my own, I convinced them to allow me to get a job in New York and after much convincing they allowed me to leave Italy and live in New York, they assigned a couple of guards for me and after a year of leaving alone, Dommy wasn’t comfortable leaving me all alone in a new city, so he and Ezra moved to New York, while mom and Dad have been living in Italy with Nonna and our cousins. “You can’t tell Dad, he will force me to come back. I’m finally free here.” “Don’t be a dramatic queen Maya, you will live with us.” I rolled my eyes when he said that. “Why can’t you guys live with me, in my apartment.” “Because you only have one guest room Maya,” Ezra said. “I’m still not doing that. I love you guys but I won’t live here.” “You are doing this or else Dad is going to find out.” Dommy took out the phone and dialed Dad’s number. He left the phone on speaker, Dad picked on the first ring. “Dominic,” Dad said in a firm voice. “Dad we have something to tell you.” Fuck he is seriously going to tell dad, I don’t want to go back to Italy. “Fine I will f*****g stay and I’m taking your room Dommy,” I shouted. “Was that Maya, is everything alright,” Dad asked through the phone. “Everything is fine. We just missed you.” Dommy said. “I feel that’s not the truth but I will let this slide. I will find out whatever you are hiding.” “Bye Dad,” Dommy said and he hung up the phone. I was pissed off I’m been forced to stay here but Ezra and Dommy are right they need to keep me safe, if the Russians actually sent a spy to stalk me then it can’t be taken lightly. I remember mom telling us about the former Russian leader Alexia, and how he made mom and Dad suffer. “Don’t be mad Maya. We can always piss off Dommy whenever you want and there will be weed and alcohol.” Ezra said trying to make me feel better. He is actually right, we can always be pissed off Dommy, that would be the high light of my day, Dommy never approved of my habits of smoking and drinking but Ezra was in full support, he helped me hide it from mom and Dad and he has taken care of me whenever I took too much. “Fine and I’m still taking Dommy’s room and I don’t care what he says.” I walked upstairs and entered Dommy’s room, Dommy’s room was covered in ash, from the carpet to the walls, to the bedsheet everything is ash, Dommy has this stupid love for ash. By the side of his room was a small fire pit, in front was a couch and by the other side is bookshelves. There are two doors attached to the room, one leads to the bathroom, and the other lead to the walk-in closet. I lay on his silk sheets, his bed is so soft. I was lost in my thoughts I had no idea someone walked into the room until I heard a voice. “Can we talk?” Dommy said while sitting beside me. “Sure.” “I don’t want you to think I’m trying to force you or trying to control what you do. I’m just worried Maya that’s why I asked you to stay here.” “I understand Dommy. But I still get to go on dates and parties.” “Parties yes but dates I’m not that sure.” “But you said you are not trying to control what I do.” “I know but I’m not sure about going on dates, What if whenever you are going I will follow you to Ezra would.” “That’s stupid Dommy. What if I want to kiss the guy on the date. It will be awkward with you there.” I said. “It’s either that or you won’t be going on any date. I don’t want you to get hurt Maya.” “Alright let’s make a deal. How about before I go on any date you would have a security check on the guy and if you feel he is wrong for me I won’t meet him but you won’t be following me on all my dates.” “I will think about it.” I am the closest to Dommy, he literally knows everything about me. I tell him everything because he is my best friend and I trust him more than anyone. He just needs to calm down when it comes to him being protective. “I’m going out tonight Dommy and I’m not asking. I’m telling you. Before you ask I’m meeting Calla we are going for a party and dinner and don’t worry I won’t speak to any boy.” “You better don’t because I will know if you do.” “Whatever Dommy. Now leave so I can dress up.” Calla and I have been friends since we were in Italy, she knows about my family being in the mafia, and well she doesn’t care about it. When I decided to move to New York. Calla got a job too and she moved with me. She has been a good friend, always there for me. Back then Italy Calla sneaked me out of the house many times so I could attend parties and Dommy and Ezra never knew about it. And tonight we will be attending a birthday party of Tyson, one of Calla’s friends, a total pain in the butt. So annoying and has this stupid crush on me. Sometimes I feel like I should kill him but Dommy says we can’t kill people without a good reason, I have a good reason, he is disturbing my mental peace and the only reason I’m going to this party is that who says no to free food and alcohol. No one says no right.
