(..Stuck with the mafia boss..)
By; Cherry Love F.
"Whatever. I'm gonna have what I deserve. No matter what it takes". Katherine smirked.

The next day, Laura entered Emily's room and sat beside her on the bed.
"Em?". She called out softly, stroking her hair and Emily stirred, then woke up.
"Good morning ma". Emily bowed a bit and Laura nodded.
"What happened yesterday, dear?". She asked. Emily pursed her lips.
"Emily....
"Did you know anyone named Angela?". Emily asked and Laura blinked. Brad, that was standing near the door frame froze.
"Angela....angela....oh, she was Rosie's best friend but i think they had a falling out, a little misunderstanding. What's that got to do with your mood yesterday?". Laura cocked her head to the side.
"A little misunderstanding?". Emily asked again.
"What's with all the questions, Emily?". Brad snapped, finally having enough.
"Dad, did you know Angela?". Emily retorted.
"Exactly what your mom said". He answered.
"No!, You're lying to me". Emily screamed, getting off the bed and backing away from them. Brad was inside now.
"We're your parents, why would we lie to you?, Emily, can't you see what that wicked man is doing to you, you can't even trust us. Your own family". Laura snapped and stood up.
"No". Emily shook her head. Laura sighed and looked at Brad.
"Rosie betrayed Angela and we don't know anything more and this matter ends here". Brad said.
"Angela was Angelo's mom and because of Aunt rosie, she's dead". Emily spilled. Laura gasped.
"That's not possible".
"Emily!!!". Brad yelled and Emily flinched.
"Brad, calm down please". Laura whispered. "She's just a child".
"I'm not a child". Emily retorted. Brad took a deep breath.
"Go freshen up and go to work. That son of a bitch will not be mentioned in this house anymore, do you hear me?".
Emily stayed silent.
"Emily. Say something". Laura whispered to her but she still didn't answer. Instead, she went into the bathroom.
"She's getting more rebellious every single day. What has this man done to my sweet Emily?". Laura mumbled. Brad just ran his fingers through his hair.
"This is not good. She's not supposed to find out about anything of this. None of them should". He said in his mind.
"Brad, honey, what was she saying?". Laura asked softly. "You told me they had a misunderstanding between them and it was Angela's fault".
"That's what it is, okay?, It's enough". Brad snapped, then caught himself. "Honey, don't get worked up for no reason, okay?". His voice turned soft and Laura sighed out.
ANGELO'S ENTERPRISE
Angelo was in his office checking the office records, Rachel stood across him with a tablet in her hand. She was reading out his schedule.
"You have a meeting with the board members today, sir. Then a one hour meeting with miss Alyssa.....
"Who scheduled that?". Angelo's husky voice rang out and Rachel found herself blushing.
"Um...it was Miss Alyssa, sir". She stumbled on her words and he nodded.
The door opened and closed and Rachel turned, Angelo looked up and rolled his eyes at the intruder. Levi.
"Hey bro". Levi smirked and sat down on the sofa 20 metres away from Angelo's chair.
"Sure, make yourself comfortable". Angelo scoffed. Rachel looked at the two of them in surprise. She'd never seen anyone speak to Angelo like that before or make himself that comfortable before with Angelo. Even Carlos had never done that. At least not in front of her.
She quickly bowed and excused herself. Levi's gaze followed her.
"Mh, that's a nice aßs there". He smirked.
"Why are you even here?". Angelo asked.
"Show a little more respect. I'm older than you". Levi scoffed.
"I've got quite the way of paying my respects". Angelo stood up and walked towards Levi.
"Okay, okay. I was bored, don't threaten me now". Levi chuckled, understanding the hidden meaning of Angelo's words.
MAFIA HEADQUARTERS
The queen mother and Katherine had gone out a few minutes earlier.
Elena was appointed to go and get some materials for the clan and blade had to go with her since haded blatantly refused to go anywhere with the 'annoying witch'. As he said.
So currently, only him, Bruno and Kate and the guards were home.
Bruno was still not comfortable with them, after the incident so he just avoided them and stayed in his room most of the time, except when Angelo came around.
Have I said that Angelo had plans to remove Bruno from the queen mother's clan, as in Bruno would be serving Angelo like bluey and josh. Bruno was môre than ecstatic to leave the hellhole.
Kate sighed for the umpteenth time, she was trying to arrange her hair perfectly, just like the one in the video. If you haven't guessed, she's the makeup enthusiast and fashion icon.
"Hey hey, what's going on here?". Hades poked his head in from the door and Kate turned instantly, in her frustration, she had forgotten to lock the door so it was ajar.
"The braids won't just stay". She whined and he chuckled, coming in.
"May i?". He asked and she furrowed her brows.
"Can you do braids?".
"Of course, I used to do it for my little sis". He shrugged.
"Oh". Kate nodded and adjusted, facing the mirror so he could help her. Hades stood directly behind her and pulled her hair into a loose bun first.
"Dryer?". He asked
"My hair is dry already".
"Dryer". He repeated and she rolled her eyes before giving him the dryer.
Kate picked her second phone and started typing away on it while Hades worked on her hair. After a while, she felt Hades not moving and looked up. Hades was just staring at her through the mirror and she met his eyes. They stayed like that for two minutes, the Kate quirked her brow questioningly.
Hades twirled her chair to make her face him and his gaze lingered on her lips.
"Wh-what are you doing?". Kate mumbled and unconsciously licked her lips.
"Fuck!". Hades muttered and fisted her hair before he could even realize what he was doing. Kate stared at him wordlessly and that was it, his lips came crashing down on hers roughly, Kate kissed him back with the same fervour after her initial resistance and soon they were both struggling for dominance.
Kate finally pulled away to breathe and their eyes locked, no words were exchanged, Hades carried her, bridal style to the bed and their lips were attached again.
**
Emily brought in the tray containing customers' leftovers and put them into the dishwasher. Violet was sitting on the counter, her phone in her hand as usual, probably drooling over another celebrity.
"Emily, you should try taking a break sometimes". Violet said.
"My break is in five minutes". Emily mumbled and put on another apron since the last one got soiled.
Violet rolled her eyes and focused on her phone again.
"Oh my.... you should see this". Violet rushed, it was Emily's turn to roll her eyes now.
"No vio, I don't want to see 'another insanely hot male idol'". Emily mimicked her voice and violet gasped.
"You're even speaking like me, that's the spirit, bitch, come look". She urged. Emily sighed and walked over.
"His name is.....
"Waitress needed at table 3". A customer shouted.
"I've gotta go". Emily said.
"Again". Violet mumbled and Emily smiled apologetically. She turned to go but her hands accidentally hit the phone out of Violet's grasp.
"I'm so sorry". Emily rushed, bending to pick the phone.
"It's o....
"Angelo?". Emily gasped, seeing Angelo's picture.
"Wait, you know him?, Hurrah!, Emily finally watches the news". Violet mocked.
Emily remained quiet though.
"Earth to Emily". Violet snapped her fingers and she blinked.
"I have to see him....do you know where he is?". Emily asked.
"Calm down girl, everyone wants to see him, don't hyperventilate". Violet chuckled.
"No, you won't understand. He'll never forgive me". Emily shook her head.
"What are you talking about?, This is Angelo freaking Gerald, how on Earth will you know him?".
"Can you give me his address, please?".
"It's useless, the security is really tight and you can't see him without an appointment".
Emily bit her lips in frustration. Her fingers in her hair.
"What's going on, Emily?, You're scaring me". Violet mumbled.
Emily stopped. "I just need to see him, just once and I'll explain everything to you, please".
"Fine. The address is 100 xxx.... I've tried going there before but i wasn't lucky, don't say i didn't warn you". Violet said.
Emily quickly scribbled down the address and thanked her.
On her way out, she bumped into her manager.
"What the hell?, You were suppose to be on duty". The woman said angrily.
"I'm sorry". Emily rushed and ran out.
The manager looked at violet but she only shrugged.
"Get to work!". The manager yelled and kate nearly tripped.
Angelo's enterprise*
Angelo was in a meeting with the board of directors, he stood in front of them with his one hand in his pocket. His jacket had been removed a while ago and his sleeves rolled up to his elbow.
Levi was on his phone but he was listening to what Angelo was saying and nodding silently.
** 12pm
Emily paid the cab driver and took a deep breath. She was standing outside the company. The sight alone was making her nervous, everything just screamed extravaganza and she was becoming even more unsure of herself every ticking second.
She walked over to the gate and the security men stopped her, looking at her with judgy faces.
"Who are you?". One asked.
"Emily. Emily adams". She replied. "I'm here to see Angelo".
"ID card?".
Emily showed them the ID card.
"Are you here with an appointment?". Another asked and she shook her head.
Shouldn't this be the work of the receptionist or personal assistant?
"We can't let you in". The third man said, he was buff.
"You don't understand, i need to see him....i know him personally". Emily argued.
"Everyone says the same thing... should we also believe them?". The first man scoffed.
"And besides.... what would sir Angelo be doing with you, he's got class". The buff man sneered.
"Can i see him just this once, please?".
"Please leave here". The second man said.
"I can't". Emily refused.
"Don't make us force you". The first man said.
"No, I'm not going anywhere. I need to see Angelo".
"Can you be any less desperate?, Everyday, a new girl comes and claims to be his girlfriend or his friend. I don't even understand these girls, I'm even ashamed on their behalf. So please leave before we stop being nice". The buff man scoffed.
"What's going on here?". A voice interfered and they all turned. It was Rachel.
She was standing beside Emily but at a distance and she was holding an Americano in her hand for Angelo.
"She insists on seeing the boss, even without an appointment". The first man explained.
"What's your name?". Rachel asked.
"Emily Adams".
Rachel eyes nearly widened.
'So this is THE Emily adams?'. She said in her head.
Once, Rachel had seen Emily's identity details in a file in Angelo's office. Carlos had dropped it there for him. That was the day Emily started working at the cafe.
"What do you want?, I'm his personal assistant". Rachel said, flipping her hair. Anyone could easily denote the proud tone in her voice. Everyone except Emily.
The girl was just too naive sometimes.
"I just want to speak to him even if it's five minutes". Emily mumbled.
"You'll have to tell me what it is or I can't help you". Rachel frowned.
"It's sort of personal.....
"This is a waste of time. Do your job guys". Then she went inside.
Emily slapped her forehead.
"Is Carlos here?". She asked.
"No, step aside". The second man said. They were impatient now.
"But i.....
(First man: Finn, second: Clark, third: Benjamin)
Finn had enough and opened the gate, but instead of letting Emily in, he grabbed her by the hand and started pulling her.
"Let me go". Emily yelled but he didn't budge.
"You'll be treated like those other girls that don't listen". Finn glared, then pushed her to the foor. Her arm grazing against the concrete as she fell. Emily winced at the impact and the blood that followed.
"Now stay there". He ordered.
Emily glared at him but she knew doing anything there would be really stupid so she remained silent.
"If i don't apologize to him, I'll never be able to live with myself and I'll keep coming here everyday till I'm able to meet him". Emily uttered.
"Get a life, slut". Finn sneered and walked away.
Tears welled in Emily's eyes and slowly they began to slip.
'I'm so pathetic, weak and stupid'. She mumbled.
Meanwhile the fourth security guard, Jasper videoed everything. He was the youngest among all of them.
*A diner*.
Alyssa checked her wristwatch again, Angelo should have been there thirty minutes ago.
"We can't keep waiting for him, you know?, He might still be in a meeting". Carlos said.
"So we'll cancel our plans!?". She scoffed.
"Not necessarily, let's make it a date. Angelo's probably not coming....
"What if he comes and sees us...
"Then I'll take responsibility, our relationship won't remain a secret. Now, enough talk about Angelo, let's focus on us. This is our date now". Carlos said seriously and Alyssa smiled.
"I love it when you act this way". She grinned.
"Really?, How about we go test that out now, you will be talking the way i love". Carlos wriggled his brows and Alyssa gasped.
"You're so naughty".
8pm
Emily yawned and stood up, feeling dizzy from bending for that long.
Well, first day was a flop. And she's gonna try again tomorrow. A car suddenly parked beside her and the driver wound down his glass. Bryan.
"Emily?, I've been looking for you all day". He said.
"Oh hi, Bryan". Emily waved tiredly.
"What are you doing here anyways?". Bryan asked.
"No-nothing". She shook her head.
The gate of the Enterprise finally opened and Emily was smart enough to recognize Angelo's car. He stopped, one of the security guards was talking to him, Emily decided to use the opportunity to run over there.
"Emily". Bryan called out but she wasn't even listening.
Emily finally met up just when Angelo was about to start driving, she stood in front of his car. Finn and Benjamin jumped into action, quickly seizing her hands, Emily struggled with them but they were stronger. They started moving her away from Angelo's car till she was exactly forty metres away.
Bryan saw what was going on and rushed out.
"Leave her alone". He yelled.
"She wanted to meet the boss, didn't she?". Finn scoffed, gripping her hand tighter.
"Angelo!". Emily shouted.
No response!.
"Angelo, i know you can hear me, please say something". Emily said.
Inside the car, Angelo's gaze remained neutral as he watched Emily struggle with them. Rachel frowned slightly watching Emily's drama and looked at Angelo, her voice softening.
"I feel really bad for her". She pouted, if Angelo heard her, she didn't know but he didn't react, his eyes just didn't leave Emily.
"Angelo, I'm really sorry!". Emily said.
"Emily, what the hell are you doing?, Move away from there". Bryan gritted.
"Oh just don't move away". Rachel said in her mind.
Angelo wound down his glass again and tipped his head out.
"Move out of the way or I'll run you over and i don't care about the consequences". His icy voice resounded and the men immediately left Emily and shifted for their dear lives but she didn't move.
Angelo sat down back and Rachel glanced at him apprehensively. Then he started reversing the car, everyone looked at him in surprise, even Bryan was too stunned to move. Then Angelo accelerated to 100km/hr.
Literally everyone in the one dived to avoid getting killed. The speed was maddening.
Everyone except Emily.
In five seconds, he would run her over but she didn't move and he wasn't ready to move.
Four seconds.
Three seconds.
Even Rachel gulped, at this rate, he would kill all three of them.
Two seconds.
One second.
Then boom!.
Emily's heart stopped, Finn and Benjamin fainted and then Rachel and Bryan screamed.
"No!!!!!!. Emily don't die on me". Bryan cried. The car's speedometer quivered at 100km/hr and Emily's world slowed down.
