Stalked by the Mafia Boss

“What happened?” Ade asked barging into the room, he saw Jace holding Korina in his arms, she looked pale.

“She passed out.” Jace explained.

“Why?” Ade laughed, “Cause of the situation?”

“No.” Jace said, “She found out that I am Daruis.”

“Well, fuck shit.” His best friend cursed, “We need to get her out of here now!”

They both exited the room with Korina over Jace’s shoulder. He kept thinking about how she would react when she woke up. she would be more hurt knowing he had been the one stalking her all these while. He knew she might probably leave him forever but he wouldn’t let her, he was going to use all means to make her stay.

He had stalked her from the moment she set foot in New York when he saw her at the airport looking sick. He had been filled with thoughts of her and became smitten.

He had trailed her every move, watched every step, now that he had her, he wasn’t going to let her go.

“Revive her when you her there.” He instructed Ade as he put Korina into the car, “Don’t let any harm come to her and make sure she doesn’t escape, tell mum what she instructed.”

“Okay captain.” Ade rolled his eyes, “I am not a kid man.”

“Just be safe, take care of her.” Jace pleaded looking at Korina’s unconscious form.

“I will man.” Ade got into the car, “Be careful out there, I will come join you soon.” He said and sped off.

Jace watched the car go and pulled out his short gun then turned back to the house premises, bullets were flying and shocks rang in the air.

He went back into the house and everything was in shambles already, broken ornaments and destroyed furniture, damn! He cursed, Russo was gonna pay for dearly for this.

His men were trying to hold up battling with the opposing gang. He ducked at bullets and stood up to aim three shots killing the men in front of him.

He got out the house and premises, bodies littering everywhere, he looked up and saw more men advancing towards the gate.

Dammit, He swore, this would be tough.

Korina woke up and found herself foreign surroundings, she was on a bed, a very comfortable big bed. Her head was hurting, her body ached too and she discovered she had been changed into an oversized T-shirt.

She looked around the white painted room studying it, the room didn’t look masculine nor feminine either, it was just neutral.

There was a dressing mirror and a stool attached to it, she saw another door that looked like it led to a walk in closet, looking around more she saw a sofa in it and spotted her clothes of the previous day on a chair.

She sat there and the happenings of the evening poured in.

She felt sad and sorry for Jace for how he was treated and what he went through in the hands of his father.

His father was surely cruel and vile to do that to his own son and even kill his own wife, his psycho was on another level, the man was mad beyond words.

She wondered how he had managed to survive all these years living with the pain and bottling it up and then she wondered why he didn’t tell her the truth all these while? why he kept so much away from her? Why he had made her see a false picture and fall in love with the false version of him?

Falling in love with all the deception and lies was painful.

She stood up, walked to the door and tried to open it but it was locked. She couldn’t get out of here or escape. She so wanted to get away from the place and see the outside world and maybe run away, her thoughts were haphazard not knowing exactly where she was and whom she was with killed her.

She tried once more pulling harshly at the door but it never opened, after some time she gave up, slid down the door and began crying her heart out.

“It’s all hard to take in.” Korina sniffed, she was laying on Claire crying her heart out, “He’s a murderer and a criminal.”

“But you have seen the Good side in him, haven’t you?” Claire asked, she was still trying her best to make sure Korina didn’t leave Jace even tho she had valid reasons to do so.

“He lied to me.” Korina rose her head from Claire’s laps, “I have been swimming and living In lies all these times.”

Ever since she came to check up on her, she had been whining and crying like a baby.

“Please calm down dear.” Claire pleaded, “I admit Jace has been in the wrong all through but calm down please.”

“What would it have taken for him to tell me the truth?” She asked, “Even his voice was a lie, he masked everything.” She said, “Jace is a fucking liar.” She added.

“Considering all what Jace had been through, I guess he thought this was the right way.” Claire tried to find an excuse for Jace, she tried to justify his actions.”

“Considering all what he had been through, he ought to tell me the truth.” She back lashed, “You are only defending him cause he’s your son and you are his mother.”

“Korina!” Claire called sternly.

“I want to leave this place.” Korina demanded, “Let me go home.”

“You are not leaving.”

“What?!”

Jace ordered that you stay put here.”Claire said, “You do not want to get on his bad side.”

“You have to let me out!” She screamed, “I don’t want to be here.”

Claire shook her head sadly at Korina, she turned and excited the room making sure to secure the door locks firmly.

She pitied Korina but she knew she would get past the stage, the girl was as well smitten by Jace and she would stay with Jace no matter what.

She would stay for him.
