The Bride of The Ruthless Mafia

The first encounter Elijah POV I am on my way to our home when someone just grab and asking for help. I couldn't think of what should I do, all I know is I grab him and run together. There I see an old house and directly go inside. It was surprise me when I have a closer and enough time to look to the whom I didn't know, but I choose to help. To describe him honestly, I felt nervous when I stare with him. All his body is full of blood, and he is holding his right stomach and to my shock I shout because there is so may blood in his hand. He looks so pale, I couldn't think what I should do next. He grab my hand and pointing to answer his phone, I did it as if I have a choice. “Hello?” My voice cracked because of my heart bets so fast . “Why you have Kalex phone?” The other line said. “Ahh his blooded and have gun shot to his right stomach. I utter it with all my strength.” I can't breathe properly, maybe because of this situation. “Okay, I got it, can you just open the GPS of his phone, and I'll locate where my boss now? Just make sure you apply the first aid, please. Just put some of his clothes and push it through his wound !!” Even if I'm still thinking, why this man had to look this. I did what the man said on the phone earlier. I remove my pink jacket and put it on his gun shot. When the blood fall to my hand, my breath is slowly suffocating me, I hate blood and when I look at the man, he was smiling at me, I just raise my left eyebrow. Why his still smiling when in fact he was in the middle of losing his all blood. I couldn't take this more time, I think I am almost fainting. I really hate blood, I don't why, but when I get to see blood to someone my breath will slowly suffocate me. Furthermore, I couldn't hold this anymore, that was the last thing I remember that I said in my mind. I fainted and don't know what happen, all I know when I gained my conscious I was inside the hospital. Moreover, I asked we're the whom I was with, but they say an old lady brought me here to the hospital because I fainted in the street. Maybe, It was my dream. But before I got discharged from the hospital, nurse give me one little envelope and when I opened, it was the bill of my mother and got fully paid. I realized that, it was not a dream and wanted to find the man who helped for all my financial problem about my mother's hospital bill. How could I do that when there is now any trace about that man, and I am the only one who know him? After that accident, three years later have been pass, but I couldn't find the man who save my financial problem. I'm still hoping that one day I could have said thank you to him. Here I am now, I graduated with the degree of marketing management. I work at one of the prestigious company here in Davao. “Elijah?” My co-worker called me. “Yes?” I respond while looking at the calendar. “Sir Vergara called you.” Oh! I almost forgot that last night, Sir Vergara text me that he wants me to see him at the office. I directly go to his office, his temper is short, and I prefer not to see him again, horribly. Furthermore, I'm in my way when I meet him in the hallway. “I am truly sorry, sir, if I'm late.” I did not give a chance to talk first, because I know what he would say? “Yes, I was patiently waiting you, don't tell me you were just like other workers, after got promoted to higher level, you will be arrogant?” TSS! I know he would say that. “I want you to meet our main boss in Sky hotel, and I'm pretty sure his patients is running out, so better yet go there now.” Ugh! According to my source, our main boss is very short-tempered, so I better yet be ready for making him wait. When I arrive at the hotel, I couldn't think straight because I am pretty sure I will meet the person whom been waiting me for many hours. O my God! I hope I will not faint. I directly go to reception table and ask where Mr. Cassanos office and immediately go there. When I reach the office and open the door, I almost fainted when I see the man who's standing beside his chairs and looking at me in his horrible eyes and irritating face. O my God! Am I just dreaming? The man whom I'm looking for is our main boss. “So you're here, huh!” Those voice give me goosebumps and my body is trembling because of my nervous. I couldn't move my body, I'm frozen because of the person in my front immediately. Am I dreaming? Am I overthinking of him? I just stared at him and almost crying. “Hey. Are you even listening to me, Ms?” Three years have been past, finally I got a chance to hear this voice. “Ha-have we meet before?” I ask him out of curiosity. “I think so. But that's not the point, why I wanted you to be here.” Okay, got it, is he pretending that he didn't recognize me? “I want you to be my secretary and be the team leader of this hotel's marketing management. According to my manager in Cassanos enterprises, you got the average to be here in my hotel and be one of the staff of this prestigious Hotel in Davao.” Those offer could not process to my mind. I'm still staring him like no end. His so different from the person I meet 3 years ago. “Whom I am to decline your offer, Mr. Cassano I will gladly to be here and be your staff.” I will not reject this opportunity to thank him for what his done. Even though my mother still recovering and not in progress. “Okay, you can start tomorrow and may leave now.” He stands up and walking to his chair. “ Ahh, Can I ask a question?” He didn't response, and he just stared at me. “Don't you remember me? Three years ago, I was who save you in death. Even if you will pretend that you don't know me, I wanted to say thank you for paying the bill of my mother.” After I said it, I wait for his response, but I get nothing. He just pointed the door and wanted me to leave. I have no choose either. Kalex POV. “Jet, I want you to investigate someone.” I can't be sure if she's the girl whom I was finding for so long. Death After I leave at the Sky hotel, I immediately went to hospital to visit my mom because I felt different and wanted to talk her that I finally found the man who helps us. I'm at the front of the hospital but before, I could enter the hospital, my step-father text me with the most painful words that I could even receive. I felt my whole body is trembling with fear and my tears is racing, and I couldn't walk enough. Furthermore, I felt like the world is in my body because of what I read. “Your mother just died and be here at the hospital.” That was the text I receive, and I run with all my strength and my breath slowly suffocating me and I don't care to the people I bump with. When I reach in the room, I see my mother lying in the bed, and she looks so pale. That was the last thing I know when everything went black. Three days later after my mother died, I couldn't say my excuse to my boss because this pass few days I am so busy. I can't stop crying but despite for what happen I still thank God for letting my mom rest in her illness and be in peace. After we buried my mom, I immediately go back to work because I feel it would be better not to stress out myself and make my mom sad. Full of condolences when I arrive at the hotel and check in my attendance. I went straight to the office, my boss was waiting with his serious face. "Good to know that you will start your work, I almost want to fire you." I did not give an attention, I just did all what he told, and the day ends with exhausting. I don't know, but I can't feel tired of all the work he gives me. That daily activity always repeat through the pay several months. One other day, When I arrived at home their's numerous persons and harassing my step-father, When I arrive they leave. “What's with those guy, uncle?” I asked while I get the water in the refrigerator. “I have a problem, Elijah.” I know something is wrong. “What? Uncle? 5 billion? And you all invest it with a scam company.” How would we pay those debts,' uncle? Another after a problem is a problem. “There's an only way we can pay him, Elijah.” When I heard it, I think I wouldn't like it. “He wants you to marry him.” I heard it, right? Marry a man who I didn't know What would my life is? “What ?!” I could not help but raise my voice. “ Uncle, that man is out of his mind.” I said it with irritating voice. “What should we do, Elijah? Would you prefer that they will kill me? Or marry him, anyway his a good Mafia and one of the billionaires here in our country. You will not be needed to work and be a queen.” he said in a very convincing way, he has a point. But I'm still processing this all. “I will think about it uncle, mirages is not a simple thing, it is tying your life with a person who. You don't love. I don't think I want it.” I leave him and go to my room. Furthermore, I think my head is almost to explode, because of this problem he caused. What should I do? Should I marry the man whom I didn't know and first and for most I don't even love him? How would my life be? I will be happy or miserable. If I marry him, all our debt will be paid. But I wanted to marry someone who loves me more than I do. I sleep last night so late, good to know that it's Sunday, so it means, have no work. Everything is still can't process to my Mind, after my mom died, I have another problem. Should I consider the offer of my step-father? Could I handle the consequences that I will be my face? AHH!!! I think I'm going to explode anytime. We have no money to pay all our debt, we still a debt after my mom died. Hurry! Jesus! Help with all my trials that I'm facing now. I know you will lessen my burden. I was busy thinking when my phone rings. “Hello ?” I said. “So? Did your step-father gathered all the money that he owe to me ?” I think his voice is so familiar. I can't tell who is it, but one thing is for sure, I heard this voice somewhere. “Do I have to marry you? Can you just give us a year to pay you ?” I know it's impossible to gather 5 billion in a year. “Why? You will sell all your organs? Even if you and your step-father sell all your organs. Still, it's not enough to complete the 5 billion he owes me.” AHH! What should I do? “I know, but can you reconsider our situation is ?” I am still hoping. “No! Marry me or else--.” I stop him for what he wanted to say. “Okay? But can we meet first? I just want to know to you more.” I put down the phone and take a depth breath. If my decision is right? I hope so that I will not regret this later on. After I receive that call, I texted him that I want to know him first before we get married because I want to know him so that it will not be hard for me to adjust with his personality. I got nothing, and just did my household chores. I almost finish washing my clothes. Someone knocks in my house. I opened the door to see two men's in black suits, according to their aura I got a feeling that, they are bodyguards. “Come to us, your fiancée is waiting to you.” Then he leads the way out to my door. “Hmm. Can I just prepare myself ??” duh. I don't want my fiancée to see me like this, maybe after he sees me like this he would prefer to make me there one of his maids. “Just dress casually and don't put any make up. We will wait you here in the door.” I don't know but this those, I must hear it somewhere, it's very familiar. I just choose my one and only dress here in my cabinet, to describe it properly. It was a white plain off the shoulder, and it ends in above my knee. I put a light make and wear my not so high sandal, and get my pink shoulder bag. When I get out, they didn't even pay me a compliment to me? While at the car, I can't help myself to feel nervous, in my entire life I didn't date anyone. I have no time to do it, because of my mother's condition. Minute later, I feel dizzy and wants to sleep. I can't help this, so I decided to sleep because I can sense that we far to our destination. Him Kalex POV Two days ago. “Hello Jet ?” I am talking to my best friend. I order investigating my new secretary. Furthermore, I do recognize her, but I want to be sure if she's to whom I am looking for, and I have fallen. Three years ago, some ordinary girl with a pink jacket save me from death. I am deeply thankful to her, and from that quick moment I fall for her. I actually find her that's way I want her to work here in my hotel so that I can easily see her and every day have an inspiration. “Confirm Dre, he's the girl you save you from that death. You finally found her, but how would you make him yours? According to my investigation, she is a hardworking girl, and no time for your so-called love. And I have good news, she's the daughter of one of your men, Khazar.” I think I found a solution for her to be mine. “Don't worry, I have a wonderful idea to make him mine and forever.” I will make sure to make him mine. I'll do everything to take her and make my Queen. “I'm worried of your actions cous, I know I've been tolerating you, but you're acting obsess to this girl. If your rival found that you have finally weakness, she will be in danger Kalex, are you ready to face all the danger that you might be facing in the near future Kalex?” I know I will put her in danger, but what is use of all my connection and being a Ruthless Mafia? “I know it Jet, I already figure that out, but should I be scared with those threats Jet? What is the use of being a Ruthless Mafia? I promise I will do everything to protect her and be mine.” I know I will not a hundred percent sure if I could protect her all the time, but I promise to always keep her safe, even if it cost my life. ” Tell Khazar to be here immediately, and I'll offer him one big time.” I know if she will learn my plan, she will leave me and hate me, but after we get married I'll bury all of this so, she will not find the reason. After a minute Khazar arrive, base on his face his in trouble again. “Khazar, good to know that you did not make me wait for so long.” I handed him to sit. “What can I do to your boss ?” I like him for being straightforward. “I discover that you have a beautiful stepdaughter. For you to know, she's the one I'm looking for to be my wife, and if you make her agree to marry me. I'll pay your debt in casino and give you one million. Just make sure you will make her believe that you have a big debt to me and I want her in return.” I know I bet rash, but I'm really desperate to make her mine. “So boss, she's the girl who you fall for, huh? My Elijah was the girls who save you to that near death. I'm happy that you've finally found that girl, but I could not sure that I can make her convince to marry her.” I know it's impossible, but I'll help him a little bet. “No need to worry, okay? I'll help you a little bet.” That was the plan, the reason she's coming to my place now. I'm so excited to see her and finally to introduce myself. In the other hand, Elijah is still sleeping and have no idea where the man's of Kalex would bring her. They are almost in the place we're everything, it seems perfect. Elijah POV. I slowly open my eyes and to my surprise, I can't imagine that I will see this in person. To describe the giant house in front of me now, it is all concrete and have a big space when you enter the gate. There's a fountain in the middle, and it is full of lavender flower. I guess the owner of this house is a lover of the color lavender. It is perfectly fit to the ambience of the main door and fit to the surroundings. It feels so relax and give you a good vibes. I step out at the car and the men move aside and handed me to get inside. I can't relax my mind and my heart doesn't cooperate, it's still beating so fast. “Good evening, madam, take this way to lead you in the elevator and be at the fifth floor.” I can't imagine this house is so huge, there's haven't any design in the first floor, but there is a painting captured my eyes. It is a blooded guy and a girl whom helping him. It gives me goosebumps, I know it's very impossible because that painting it just a creator's imagination. When I get inside in the elevator, I point the five floors. The more it's getting near, the more my heart getting bet fast, I can't handle my emotion. I hope I can survive this night without being collapse, I can't embarrass myself to that man. I reach at the fifth floor and a maid greet me with a beautiful smile. “Good evening madam, this way.” I just walk through her way. Not everything can process to my mind. The view is so reinstating it gives you goosebumps. My eyes widened when I get to see the whole Davao City. It's means this house was the huge and in the upper side of this place. I almost get fainted when I see a painting of a girl who wore a pink jacket together with the man who's blooded. “I'll leave you here with him, madam.” I didn't give her attention and continue walking until I see the man standing in front of the glass window and holding a bottle of wine. “Nice to finally meet you, my Lady.” Those voice, I can't hold my nervousness when he turned in front of me. I almost forgot to breathe because that man who I am going to marry is My Boss. Dinner Elijah POV “Nice to finally meet you, my Lady.” Those voice, I can't hold my nervousness when he turned in front of me. I almost forgot to breathe because that man who been going to marry is My Boss. Not everything can process to mind, it seemed it's too much in just one day. He offered me to sit, and I obligate it with no hesitation, I just stared at him like there's no end. Of his just an ice, maybe he was milted because of my hot stare. “Am I as handsome, my Lady? Stop staring me, it makes me hardened.” That moment I realized I'm to amaze with him, I can't get off my eyes. He's very tall and handsome, I can't imagine that I'm going to marry this man. I'm still had no idea how they did meet my step-father? How my uncle end up borrowing those big moneys. “I know you have countless questions in your mind, but can we eat first before I introduced to my world and your future world too, let's eat My Lady the food is waiting."? He assists me and put some wine to my glass. I can't move any parts of my body, everything is too much to handle I eat, and he's just staring at me, it makes me uncomfortable. Furthermore, I want him to ask that, is the reason he wants me to move in to his hotel enterprises because he knows that I am the girl who save him from death. After I finish eating, he escorts me to the viewing area of the thus floor. I can't still get enough of this view. “The first time I saw in my office, I felt I know you and I confirm it when I conduct investigate to your background. No, offend, but I'm so curious about you. I'm happy to know that you are the girls who own those pink jackets. Thank you for saving me that day.” I feel he's serious, and I don't feel any offend, when in fact he just wanted to confirm if I was that girl. I look at him and our eyes meet, I look away because he's stare is so aggressive than mine. Furthermore, I can say that he have a royal blood because of the color of his eyes, It was ash-blue. “Why can't I find you? Three years I spend to find you, I was so curious what happened to you that day. No, problem, I didn't feel any hard feelings. How my step-father end up borrowing you those moneys?” I just want to know where he spends those moneys? Maybe some of those spend to my mom's hospitalizations, medicine and her personal thing. But 5 billion is too much. “For now, I can't tell you the reason I was blooded that day---” he didn't finish what he was trying to say when his phone rings. He moves away and talk to the phone, I can say that it is a serious matter base on his face. I look to place and my attention when I enter to a room, I freeze when I say my pink jacket that was hanged in the center of the bed. He must treasure my jacket, that's the only memories that he have of me. I see look around in the room, and I'm amaze of the design. There's a chandelier in the center of the selling and the bed is queen size, and it was half gray and pink. There's a side table on the right side of the bed and in has a lamp in the table. In the another way, there's a closet and full of dresses, bags, shoes, sandals, and jewelry. The closet is so reinstating. When you open it, it will dive into 3 cabinet, and you can see all the dress. When you push the center cabinet it will push backward and the mini cabinet in the lower part will have three layers of cabinet full of jewelry and in the lowest part is the shoes and sandals. I close it and on the left side of the bed near in the window, there's a coach and a mini table. And a mini cabinet on the left side of the bed, and there's a painting of a lady in pink and a picture of me in a hospital bed. The wallpaper is a combination of gray-pink color. It's a good combination of color and I really like it. I guess his built this room three years ago maybe, but you can see that it was maintained by cleaning it regularly. I attempt to leave the door when he went inside. Furthermore, I can sense that he has a problem. It maybe in the company. “Do you have a problem ?” Out of curiosity, I ask. “No, some serious matter and I can't tell it now. Can I leave you here? You can occupy this place, in fact, it's built for you. I have to leave My Lady, I need to punish someone who dared to betray me.” I feel nervous when I heard him with those voice, I can sense it is not in the company problem. “Can I just go home? I'm not comfortable to sleep in a place that it's not familiar to me.” It was just a lame reason, but I just don't want to sleep here because I'm afraid of him. “Please feel at home My Lady, sooner or later, this will be one of your room and I forget to tell you that you have in the closet everything you need. And just call the maids through this telecom if you need anything. And one more thing, since this night this room and this is your house. I'll join you tomorrow morning to go to your house to get your important thing and to inform you your step-father is now in the Russia.” Did I hear it right? I'm leaving my house to be here, We're not married yet. “We're not yet married, we can't leave in the safe roof, Mr. Cassano.” I don't know how to call him, so I decided to call him in his surname. “We are not leaving in the same room, My Love, but in the same roof. So, you don't need to worry, I'll talk to you tomorrow, okay? I needed to go, My Love.” He did not give me any time to object his decision, but I have no choice. I guess I'm going to leave my house whom my mother and I have all the memories. I hope he will allow me to treasure that house and don't sell it. Goodbye old house Elijah POV I wake up in the morning with a man who's staring at me. I can't believe that I'm with him. “Good morning, My Love. Breakfast is ready, go wash yourself I'll, you wait in the dining area.”? He kissed my forehead and I stay lying in the bed, I froze. O may god, I'm not ready to be wake up every day with this man. There is a little of romantic excitement. Before he left the room, I greet him too. “Good morning ahh-ahh.” I don't know how to shout, I call him and that makes him smile. That's the first time I see him smile. “What are you smiling at?” I felt shy. “Nothing My Love, I just found you cute hahaha. Anyway, just call were ever you are comfortable with.” He left with a smile. I just crushed my face because of my action. Argh! I can't believe I'll marry this silly man. After washing myself I dress some clothes in the closet, I wore a plain white t-shirt and shorts. I found him talking with one of his maids, after I near to them, he gestures the maid to leave. They just greeted me with a sweet smile and then leave. I don't, but I feel like an owner of this giant house, they treated me like an owner. I reach the and see him sipping a coffee, I smell his very seductive perfume. I sit in the chair in front of him, he looked so serious. “Let's eat, My Love, and visit your old house to get your staff.” I'm wrong that he will change his mind. “Can I ask you a question?” I continue what I'm talking. “Why did you want me to be in return the money that my step-father owe you?” He didn't response directly, base on his actions he was thinking if he should answer my question. To be continued.
