My Mafia
Being the daughter of an alcoholic, isn't a great thing. But what is worse is losing my mother at the age of seven.
My father, Oliver Kruiz has hated me ever since, thinks I took his wife away from him. When in reality, it was his failure to show up that caused her death.
As though hating me wasn't enough to keep me depressed, he tried to get me married to a man twenty years older than I was.
I don't think twice before running away, the night before my wedding.
I was meant to be careful but got careless, and nearly ended up being molested by thugs. That is before I'm saved by my dark hero: Hayden Wren.
Things didn't exactly start smoothly, but that didn't mean they ended well either.
I had phobia for thugs because my mother was killed by them; while trying to protect me. Everything suddenly goes south, when I find out the man who had saved me was no different.
Which leaves me thinking: is he a friend or foe?

Chapter: Chapter 40The moment we arrive at the mansion, surprisingly, Hayden gets out and opens the door before the guard does. However, all the traces of surprise vanish the moment the doors to the mansion are pulled open. A sobbing Mira pulls me into a tight hug, the air in my lungs leave me immediately. I groan, "too... tight." I rasp, just then Hayden grabs a hand of Mira's, not too tight and not gentle either. Then he tugs on it, "Her wound just got stitched today, you may tear it open again." He says to her, voice firm.Slowly, her grip on me reduces, gradually until its gone. She's standing in front of me now, still sobbing. "I'm sorry, I just missed you too much." she whispered. Just then, urgent steps echoed in the mansion, the moment I turn my head to the entrance of the kitchen... I see Mr. Ron making his way towards me.I flinch squeezing my eyes shut, thinking he's about to give me another oxygen depriving hug, but thankfully, he knows his limits. I feel a gentle pat on my head, and silen

Chapter: Chapter 39 TEN DAYS LATER: I couldn't stop the excitement that was buzzing through my veins. I would be discharged today, what a relief.I couldn't stop the content sigh that slips through my lips as I day dream. Laying on the bed, staring at the ceiling."You look happy." a deep husky voice says, causing my eyes to widen, both in shock and surprise."What..." I begin, but he just waves non-challantly in my direction in dismissal; before he shuts the door behind him. I could tell that the guards were standing at the entrance.He began to walk towards the bed where I lay, and for some reason, the hair on my arms and neck began to stand on end. "You came." I say, not knowing what to think or utter in the moment."Yeah." Hayden replies after a moment of silence, as he makes himself comfortable on a seat beside my bed.My mind is racing with different thoughts, as I slowly sit upright facing him. "When will I be discharged?" I blurt out, saying the only thing I thought was reasonable enough to

Chapter: Chapter 38My vision is a blur as I open my eyes for the first time in who knows how long?My body feels numb, my head pounding like someone was currently using a hammer on it.My throat dry, and breathing felt like it was burning my lungs. I try to observe my surroundings, doing my best to blink away the haziness from my gaze. I make out the machine at the side of the bed which seemed to read my heart rate and pulse.A pipe connected to my hand, transfusing blood into my system.Alright, I'm in a hospital.I try to get up but the pain at my lower back causes me to stiffen and fall back on the bed. I let out a low grunt, gritting my teeth as unshed tears blurred my vision.Yes, it was that painful.From the corner of my eyes, I see something or someone shift. It gets up and towers over me.I blink back the unshed tears and do my best to turn my head to the side. When I do, I realize its not a thing.It's Hayden.His hair is tousled roughly, like he had ran his hands through them several times.

Chapter: Chapter 37Third Person Pov:Hayden remained pacing back and forth in front of the ICU; his heart pounding hard in his chest. He was scared, he hated to admit this, but he hadn't been this scared in a while. Two years ago to be exact. The memory of carrying her unconscious body into the hospital as she bled out, demanding the doctors attend to her. He hadn't lost his cool like that in a while, he had been panicking so much his hands shook. With a haggard breath, he ran his hands through his hair. He had been so afraid to lose her. 'Why did she do that? Why didn't he stop her?' He couldn't help but blame himself. He should have killed that bastard long ago before he had the chance to hurt her again.His eyes were blood red in fury, just as his pace increased; the light on the ICU ward turned off. And a doctor wearing a mask, steps out pulling his gloves off. Hayden's pacing comes to a halt as he practically bolts to his side."How is she?" He asks, voice hoarse. The doctor is silent for

Chapter: Chapter 36After the introduction on stage, Hayden officially opened the event; with a toast. "You stay with Mira, I'll be right back." He had whispered in my ears, after Thomas had whispered in his. I had just nodded, watching him leave with a surprisingly serious face. It seemed something serious had happened. Mira appears behind me, moments later. Silently, she escorts me to a seat, where I stay quietly for a while. Absorbing all the details of my current surrounding. The fact that this party had been held just for me sinking in deeper. I had totally forgotten that today was my birthday. I had been so overwhelmed with the grief of loosing my mother, that I had forgotten what true happiness felt like. From the corner of my eye, I could see Mira move closer to me. Before crouching down to my level, in front of me. She opens her mouth to speak, but is interrupted by the sound of clicking heels. Which I hate to say, was drawing nearer. "Oh my, why do you look so depressed?" A familiar

Chapter: Chapter 35Third Person Pov:In the dark room, there sat Paul E. It seemed lost in thoughts, the only light in the space seeping in from a neglected crack in the wooden wall. He had ordered that no one disturb him, but they had just received some good news. He needed to know, so one of them gathered enough courage to approach him. During his seldom alone time."Pardon my intrusion," the spy says, eyes low and head bowed. Paul clicks his finger against the glass of whiskey he had been drinking, before setting it down gently. He releases a whistle, "You better have a good reason for interrupting me, unless you are prepared to die.. that is." He says, cocking his head to the side, clicking his tongue. The spy swallows, willing his vocal cord to open up as he braces himself. "We've got incredible news, sir." He starts, peeking Paul's interest immediately. Paul flicks a hand, his back still turned away from him as he urged the spy to carry on. "Mr Hayden has organised an event for tonight. He wi
