The Mafia’s Woman

“Hey Olivia!” Elsa greets her friend.

“Hey Elsa. Good Morning” Olivia said smiling.

“Are you okay? You look like a Mess” Olivia said as they start walking into the class.

“Nothing much. I’m just feeling a little sick, You know?” Elsa smiled.

Olivia nodded.

“Guess what Elsa!” Olivia almost screamed.

Students who were passing stopped to stare at them and Olivia quickly apologize.

“Jeez Olivia! You look excited. Whats up” Elsa said as they start walking again.

Olivia had stopped walking just so she can ask her to guess.

“Tom came back!” Olivia whined laughing.

“Wow. When?”

“Yesterday. I didn’t know, he said he wanted to surprise me. I just came back from school and mum said Tom is back. Thought she was lying though” Olivia giggled.

“I’m happy for you Olivia, You’ve to privilege to have a brother who even treats you like family and act like your boyfriend” Elsa smiled.

“Come on Elsa! Don’t say that”

They were now in the classroom. Olivia removed her backpack and place it on her desk. Elsa did the same.

“You know that true” Elsa said.

“Yeah” Olivia agreed.

“I’m just tired of my family. Our neighbor and Marina’s friend, Alice came around yesterday and asked us to hang out with her. I and Marina , but I insisted I’m not going. Marina talked me into going with them” Elsa said sitting down.

“That’s strange. Asking you to go with them? She’s definitely up to no good” Olivia said and Elsa agreed.

” Yes. You’re right, They left me there and went home. Mum was so mad at me and believed Marina didn’t leave the house for once” Elsa said.

“Woown! Seriously?”

“Mm” Elsa nodded.

“God. Your sister and mummy are sick. How can a mum treat his daughter that way” Olivia whined

“Dunno” Elsa said sadly.

“Bye Elsa”

“Bye Olivia” Elsa waved at Elsa as she entered her mother’s car.

They could have been going home together, but their path are not the same. Elsa carried her backpack and started trickling back home.

“Mind if I drop you home?” A car stopped beside her and a voice said from inside the car.

“No, I’m fine. I’ll just walk” Elsa said and continued walking. A man came down from the car and walked over to her, blocking her way.

“What are you doing?” Elsa asked.

“Nothing. My boss just want to say hi to you” The man said and Elsa trembled.

She had suddenly grow scared of men after she was raped. Everything about Men now seems like something that can kill her in a blink.

“No. I’m heading home, and I’m not allowed to stop by. Besides, can’t your boss get down from the car?” Elsa hissed and continued walking until a hand grab her, and she sees herself embrace a man.

Elsa’s heartbeat stopped beating for a sec at the sight in front of him. He was handsome, from the depth of his eyes to the gentle expression of his voice.

“Hi” he said.

Elsa was too shocked to talk, his voice sounded familiar, and she couldn’t trace exactly where she had heard it before. He had a star tattoo on his left eye side. And he looked like a bad guy.

He was taller than her that Elsa feel herself look like a child in his arms.

She drifted her eyes to his and almost got lost. He has a gray eyes that sprinkles like fire.

The man cleared his throat and Elsa shifted back immediately, regaining herself.

“H…hi” Elsa muttered adjoining her glasses.

The man smile and Elsa almost drool but pushed herself not to. Deep down in her, she knows the man was doing something to her.

He’s playing with her mind and body.

“Hey Barbie doll, I just want to give you a ride home?” The man said, and his voice was so deep.

Where have I heard the voice before? Elsa pinched herself.

“Don’t hurt yourself” The man said and Elsa blinked.

“Uhm… No, thanks, I can trek home” Elsa said and turned to leave.

“Is your mum going to flog you? For a man riding you home.” The man laughed and Elsa stopped.

Elsa stared at him. He was right, her mum is going to kill her If she sees her come down from the car.

The car look expensive and the man doesn’t even look like a poor man. He smells Wealth.

“Don’t talk about my mum like that” Elsa said calmly.

“Then let me give you a ride. Barbie doll?” The man winked and Elsa drool.

How can someone be handsome and perfect at the same time?

“I’m fine. And I can walk home” She stood her ground.

“Come on! This should be the first time you’re seeing me. Don’t be a hard girl, Barbie, and just let me ride you. I’m not going to hurt you” Elsa said and surprisingly Elsa felt she could trust the man.

Despite his hard look, he’s still handsome.

“Okay” Elsa said.

“Thanks Barbie doll” The man winked and put on his black glasses which covered his eyes.

Better! Elsa growled. That eyes were driving her crazy.

“My name is not Barbie doll. I’m Elsa. And you’re?” Elsa stood beside the car.

Some feet’s away from the strange man.

The man just smiled. “Figure it out yourself”

“Huh?”

“Come on, Barbie doll. No questions, just get in” The man said.

“Mm”

“Thank you” Elsa said as she got down from the car.

She had insisted he drop her at the neighborhood, and then she’ll trek home. It isn’t far anymore. First she doesn’t want her parents seeing her and next he doesn’t want the man to know her house.

The man only nodded as the car drove off. Elsa smiled.

“Woown!” Someone screamed behind her and Elsa jumped in fears, hoping it isn’t Marina.

“Jeez Alice! You scared the shit out of me!” Elsa whined and picked up her book that had slipped off her hand in fear.

Woown!” Alice said again.

“What” Elsa rolled her eyes. She was still pissed with Alice.

She wasn’t scared that Alice will tell her parents that she catch her with a man. Alice isn’t a gossiper, She’s somehow lovely, but she’s a badass.

“Damn Elsa. Who’s that?” Alice asked.

“Who?” Elsa said.

She pretended not to know what she was talking about.

“Don’t act like a child, know, Elsa. Is that your man? Damn, His car Is a baby!” Alice whined.

For once, Elsa felt she needed to make her believe something.

“Yeah. That’s my boyfriend” Elsa lied.

“Good! I didn’t get to see him, but I know definitely he’s going to be hot. I mean his car already explained it” Alice said.

They’ve entered the house now, and Elsa was glad no one was home yet.

“Stop already Alice. I’m so pissed off with you” Elsa said falling on the couch.

“What? About last night?” Alice asked.

Elsa nodded. “Yeah! You guys left me”

“We didn’t. We couldn’t find you when we wanted to go home”.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Elsa said believing Alice. “Then why did Marlene lied to mum that she didn’t know my whereabout?”

“Yeah. That’s my boyfriend” Elsa lied.

“Good! I didn’t get to see him, but I know definitely he’s going to be hot. I mean his car already explained it” Alice said.

They’ve entered the house now, and Elsa was glad no one was home yet.

“Stop it already Alice. I’m so pissed off with you” Elsa said falling on the couch.

“What? About last night?” Alice asked.

Elsa nodded. “Yeah! You guys left me”

“We didn’t. We couldn’t find you when we wanted to go home”.

Elsa nodded, believing Alice. “Then why did Marlene lied to mum that she didn’t know my whereabouts”

“She did?” Alice asked.

“Mmm” Elsa nodded.

“You know Marlene is cunny. I’m sorry for that” Alice said.

“Yes. You should” Elsa said.

The living room door opened and Marlene entered.

“Thank God you’re here, Alice!” Marlene grinned, rushing over to sit down.

“Is everything okay?” Alice asked and Marlene nodded.

Elsa watched them.

Marlene always acts like she doesn’t exist,, so she’s already used to being ignored by her sister.

“My boyfriend wants us to go to an all-night party with him! I don’t know think my mum will allow me, and…. You know I’ve a wide mouth sister” Marlene rolled her eyes at Elsa.

Elsa swallowed.

“Wow! How about lie to them, you’re going to an all-night prayer session?” Alice said.

“Yew! I know you’d come up of something. That’s my excuse, and you’re coming to me, right ?” Marlene said.

“Of course” Alice smiled.

“What about you? Sister!” There was mockery in her tone when she called Elsa, Sister.

“No” Elsa said and stood up.

She hadn’t even recovered from the one they went last night. She’d never go out with Marina again.

“Better for you. Black ass!” Marina yelled.

Elsa ignored her and walked to her room. She shut the door behind and fall on the bed tiredly.

Gosh.” She whined.

“Elsa” Marina walked back in.

“What?”

“I heard you’ve gotten a boyfriend” her tone has mockery in it.

“Well, Yes” Elsa replied , not looking at her.

“You sure be careful, You won’t want mum finding out, and I hope you not stoop low again to allow them pass between your legs and report to dad how he screw you” Marina said laughing.

“See you” She walked out.

Elsa sighed, trying so hard not to remember the past. She should go see her therapist again.

Over the years she has always tried not to remember anything that has to do with the past, but Marina always bring back the memories.

She sighed and sat up from her bed, walked to her drawer and pull it open. She then brought out one of the novel the therapist has given her two years back. She had left it there, guess she needs it now.

She dust it and walked back to sit on her bed.
