The Mafia’s Woman

“The bartender at the school canteen”

” Holy fuck.” They exclaim.NôvelDrama.Org content.

” No way. That man is too quiet and polite. He has a daughter and she’s ten.” Olivia says. I have seen him but I know nothing about him. He doesn’t make me doubt him.”

” Oh my God. Marina fucked up real bad. What was your parent’s reaction?”

” They cut her out of the family,” Elsa answered.

” Damn, baby Jesus. She deserves it big time. She’s fuckin annoying”.

” What’s gonna happen to her? I pity her.” Lucas asks.

” It’s easy. She’s gonna drop out of college. Move out of the apartment cause I’m gonna make sure you don’t renew the rent on the apartment. She’s gonna suffer and maybe move to the countryside because of shame and start farming.” Alice said with a smug grin. She picks up her box of Twizzlers and slips out one.

” Okay, that’s heartless Alice”

” Damn. When we were eighteen, close to prom and graduation in high school, she fucked my boyfriend after I introduced both of them. Since then, I despise her. I fuckin hate traitors. Look at her, stuck between a fuckin child and a bartender baby daddy in sophomore year. She’s just getting started.” Alice replies and turns up the volume of the music.

Drake’s ‘toosie slide’ plays next as Alice stands up and begin dancing.

She pick up the bottle water from the coffee table and raise it upwards.” To Marina” she cheers.

Lucas, Olivia and Elsa stare at in awe. Did she really have to make a toast. Elsa sure understand the fact that Marina made a lot of bad decisions and let jealousy lead her but she deserves better. She fucked up yeah and she get it , she wanted better. She wanted to feel love.-In a slutty way.

” Well no one wants to cheers. Thanks to Drake for toosie slide.” She opens the water and drink from the content.

” Damn. I love you karma.”

.

The following morning , Alice’s loud voice wake Elsa up. She’s always too loud. Lucas and Olivia left last night and Elsa had slept over.

” Elsa wake up.” Alice shouts her name.

“She’s a damn lunatic.” Elsa swore.

Elsa get up from the bed and saunter to the bathroom down the hall. She thinks her bedroom is the only bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The remaining two rooms share the bathroom down the hall. Elsa washed her face and brush her teeth with the extra toothbrush. She go back to the kitchen to see Alice cooking.

Elsa rolled her eyes and lean against the doorframe of the kitchen.

” You’re awake. So I’m thinking if we’re gonna go visit Radon and… You know, talk this shit anout Malcolm out.”

“I don’t feel to tell Radon, he’s gonna be worried and try making me stay over at his”.

” Will you prefer if Malcolm shot you died? Radon got you into this and he’s gonna get you out of it. Listen, Malcolm’s last brother is coming to town, Radon wants someone eho can seduce him into getting information about Malcolm. I told him I can’t go, Robert, Malcolm’s brother knows me”

” So you want me to… Go?.”

The doorbell rings. Elsa roll her eyes and walk to the door. She look through the peephole and she couldn’t believe it’s her. She twist the doorknob and open the door.

She looks really pale. Maybe she cried a lot last night because it’s obvious on face.

” Marina.”

” Hi.” Oh! her voice is croak.

” What are you doing here ?”

She fiddles her fingers and look down. Elsa blink her eyes and hold her hand to bring her in.

” No please , I can’t. I need your help , i want to talk to you private.” She plea.

” Elsa , who’s at the door ? Oh.. Marina.” Alice appears beside Elsa. She turn to look at her and she’s grinning.

“Good God let her keep her mouth shut.” Elsa cried.

” I heard you’re still pregnant after you tried to killed the baby and Jack the bartender is the father. Fuck..” Alice said with a big smile.

” I’m sorry. She…” Elsa try to speak.

” It’s fine.” Marina chews on her bottom lip and sob.

” Damn , Marina. Harry wasn’t enough and you wanted more.” Alice chuckles. Marina couldn’t meet their eyes.

” Alice, that’s enough , please.” Elsa said.

” Whatever. Don’t bring her in here.” Alice warns her and go back to the living room.

Elsa look back at the living room. How could Alice say that ? She turn to look at Marina and she’s trying to muffle her sob. Elsa sigh and shut the door.

” Elsa , I need your help.”

She cross her arms and motion for her to go on.

” You know mom cut me out of the family because I ruin the family’s reputation…” she Inhales sharply and avoid Elsa’s gaze.

” I called Harry and told him i was pregnant. He denied it. Ask me to get rid of it and forget about whatever thing we did. He said he can’t accept whatever thing I’m carrying because he’s married and he doesn’t want me.”

” But why the Bartender?” Elsa asked.

She sighs.” I don’t know. Maybe because I wanted someone older.”

” Like father, hmm ?”

She bites her lip and keep quiet.

” I visited the hospital to get rid of it. The doctor warned me not to try or I might have complications.”

” Why did you have to get rid of it again ? Haven’t you tried enough ?”

” I can’t keep up. That’s why I am here. I don’t wanna drop out of college. What am I supposed to do with myself. Mom already said I shouldn’t come to the house and I’m pretty sure dad already agreed to it. You’re my only savior Elsa.” She sob as tears slide down her eyes.

” What about Sean ?”

” She’s still angry at me. I once told her I don’t know the father, but then I told her it’s Jack, and shes pretty mad with me. You’re the only one who can help. Please Elsa..” she drop to her knees and that caught Elsa off guard.

“Marina please stand up.” She shakes her sideways and hold her hand.

” Please Elsa. Beg mom to take me back. Ariel i can’t cope. I’m broke. She ceased my card and freeze everything. I don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t wanna drop out of college and I can’t cope with a baby without a family. Elsa please help me. If I leave the apartment I have nowhere to go. He doesn’t even want me or the baby. Please beg mom , please Elsa, help me….” She burst out crying as she buries her wet face on Elsa’s facestomach.

Damn, this is unbelievable.

“Marina… Let’s give me some times, I promise you i’ll talk to you. and I have some stuffs to handle this week, I promise I’ll call mom and get back to you, huh?” Elsa promised holding her hand.

“Thank you so much Elsa.” Marina cried into her arms.

.

” I’ll go.”

It seems everything went silent as Radon watches Elsa in awe. Truth is , she actually watched herself in awe too.

The last time she checked , she was a naive , timid girl, who grew up in a bully home with parents who cared about their reputations only.

And then a cute blue eyes delinquent walked into her life. He brought changes along with him and truly she liked who she’s becoming.

” No.” Radon states as he begins to eat.

” Why ? Because he’s a mobster or because he’s actually dangerous and would be guarded.”

” All of the above. You’re my girl and you’re not a mobster. I don’t want you getting involved with the mob okay.” He said calmly.

Elsa rests her elbows on the table and push her face foward so that she’s staring right back at him.

” No, Radon. Why can’t you just let me help for once. Fine I agree I’m not a mobster but you made me shoot a gun and thanks to you , I aimed good.” She tell him, looking into his blue orbs.

He looks around and leans forward too as he says softly.” I taught you how to shoot because I want you to defend yourself. You can’t seduce a mafioso and i won’t let you, Alice gave you a bad advice.”

“Why?”

” Because you haven’t done it before , you’ll surely get hurt and I can’t stand it.”

” What makes you think I’ll get hurt? Are you calling me weak?”

Radon rolls his eyes.

” Yes, if that’s gonna stop you from thinking about going on a dinner date with Robert .” He says and leans back on his seat.

What’s the big deal? It’s not like he’s not gonna be there to watch me.

” You’re so fuckin annoying.” Elsa hiss and pick up her fork as she cut the poor lobster angrily.

” You didn’t just swear, right?”

“Yeah? I just fuckin curse , what?” Elsa scoff in a fake British accent. He smiles and bites the inside of his cheek.

” You look beautiful when you’re angry. You know I’m doing this for you right? I don’t want you to get hurt?”

” Really? I bet you’re gonna be there.” Elsa said.

” And you’re not even a temptress. How do you want him to fall? He’s a mobster remember? You can’t just trick a mobster into telling you a secret like that with just the look. You need the skills Elsa.”

She smirk and lean forward. Elsa motion for him to come closer as she trail her forefinger down his cheek slowly and lock eyes with him. she run her finger on his bottom lip and smile.

” Why are you afraid? Or you don’t wanna watch me seduce another man , huh ?” Elsa wink. she look down from his eyes to his lips and back to his eyes.

” One of the reasons.” She roll her eyes and fall back on her chair.

” Do you have a better plan aside killing Malcolm?” Elsa ask as she pick up her fork.

“Its time to get rid of him Elsa, he has done enough already. got the news, he’s gonna be there.. but there no assurance. if he’s there, thing are gonna be hard and same time easy.

” Radon, Just let me do this , you’re gonna be there and if things go wrong, I trust you to kick a lot of ass.”

Radon huffs and shakes his head. What’s the big deal seriously? she know being a seductress takes a lot and She have never done something like that before. What does it even take? Wear a skimpy red dress , guys like red a lot. Nice stilettos that will bring out the legs , a blonde wig because it fits every female version of a criminal really good. Smile , flirt and smirk and tease. Bad point , She’ve never flirt with anyone before , never tease anyone. Damn , Radon’s got a point.

” What are you thinking?”

” Robert. I’m coming up with good hot plans that will make him cooperate.”

Radon rolls his eyes. He leans back on his seat and watch her like she’s some experiment meant to be toy with.

” You can’t even flirt.” He muttered after a while.
