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?
---
River Kruiz, the daughter of a drunkard, Oliver Kruiz. She has phobia for thugs, and even eloped the night before her wedding. Nearly for this same reason.
But what happens when she finds herself growing attached to a mafia?

Chapter: Chapter 57My entire world comes to a stand still, I hold my breath as I watch Hayden. His knuckles are white, and his face solemn. Even he seemed to hesitate, so who am I to think that I can... I don't even know anything about a bomb.I hesitate, contemplating my next move. I'm so absorbed in my own thoughts that I don't notice that I'm being stalked. By the time I do, a knife is already against my throat.My breath hitches, and a shiver of fear rakes through my body as I struggle to maintain a calm demeanor. I hear the chuckle of the intruder behind me. "It's funny how smart you think you are..." he starts, pushing the knife a bit harder, making me flinch. My hands raised in surrender as my eyes lock unto the knife in his hands."You're a fool." I hear the smile in his voice as he nudges me towards the already tense trio. My heart nearly beats out of my chest as I unwillingly walk forward. "On your knees!" The intruder yells, and when I don't cooperate he pushes me to me knees. Causing me to w

Chapter: Chapter 56I can't stop the negative thoughts from making my heart pound painfully in my chest. I do my best to maintain a steady and calm breathing, even though my hands were trembling sightly. I had managed to escape the mansion to get to Hayden in time. I just hope I'm not too late. My heart pounds harder when I remember the voice recording Arnold Knot had sent me. I had received it moments after Hayden had left me in the care of his best friend, Mr. Thomas. After regaining consciousness, I had scrambled around for my phone. Yes, I was angry, but I needed to make sure he was fine first. I needed that reassurance at least. I had quickly unlocked my phone, aiming to call him immediately when I noticed a message. It was a voice recording and it was from an unknown number as well. With rising fear, which slowly over-rode my anger, and with shaking fingers, I open it. And the voice I hear, chills me to my bones. And his words, make me go cold. He had told me he was coming for me. But bef

Chapter: Chapter 55Third Person Pov: Hayden couldn't help but feel tense. Thoughts about a worried River filled his mind. This was a well thought out plan. To rescue her friend: Eva and her family. As he drives, the cars of his men following close behind. He realizes, he needs to wrap things up quickly. He needed to be sure, River is safe. Fifteen minutes after, they all arrive at the hideout. Hayden pulls out his pistol, steps out of the car, then slips his phone into his pockets before shutting the car door. It was firm, yet gentle. His grip on his gun tightening. Hayden was currently dressed in all black, so as to easily blend into the environment. More cars screech to a halt behind his. A total of 25 men hop out soon after, armed to the teeth. Just like Hayden is. Hayden adjusts his communicator, confirming it is in good working condition. Calmly, he turns his gaze to the abandoned warehouse. A hand still holding his gun, and the other steadily in his pocket. His lips pursed in a th

Chapter: Chapter 54Third Person Pov:'How did it get to this?' Hayden wondered to himself , with fingers on his nose and his eyes shut in exasperation. He releases a heavy sigh, lowering his hand as his eyes land on the sitting figure on the bed. River currently had her back to him, she is furious. "Look, I'm sorry okay. But you can't come with." He says, as calm as he can muster at the moment. He watches River's form stiffen. She gets to her feet then turns to him, subconsciously taking a step closer. "You're talking like this doesn't concern me too." She says, words firm, her voice trembling slightly at the end. "It doesn't," he says, locking eyes with her and she flinched slightly. An action which stung him, but he immediately brushes it off. "It is my business. She's my friend for God's sake. I'm the reason she's being held captive, so I ought to help!" River yells so many words at once, for the first time actually. The flame of determination, unmistakably burning bright in her eyes. Hayden is s

Chapter: Chapter 53I was pacing round my room now, unable to shake off the restless feeling I had. I don't want to admit this, but I'm scared. Scared for Eva and her family, scared for Hayden even though I barely know him. Since when did he become so important to me? To be honest, I don't know. I guess, it just sort of grew: from admiration to concern. Yes, I'm concerned about him, because I know the lengths Arnold Knot can go to get what he wants. I suddenly have a feeling, like I'm not the only thing he wants... there's something more. I don't know, perhaps a hidden agenda? I shake my head, whatever this is, I know for a fact I'm connected to it all. He's not going to stop until he has me. Which makes me worried, what if tracking Loreen Murphy wasn't a good idea? I sigh, running my hands through my hair. I need to sleep. Who am I kidding? I need to see Hayden. I need to be sure he's safe.Or else, I won't be at ease. I'm tense now, more than before. My thoughts, taking a dark turn for the negat

Chapter: Chapter 52Third Person Pov: LATER THAT NIGHT Hayden had dropped River at the mansion, then had immediately left for some urgent matter as he had called it. He had received a call from Thomas, and as soon as he hung up; his mood had become worse. River hadn't pushed, she had only wished him a safe journey back.Her worry for him, did make it difficult for her to stomach her food. Meanwhile, Loreen Murphy had managed to get a taxi. She had to meet a very important person, and she was running late. This wasn't about money, but her life."Drive faster, will you?" She yells out to the driver, her words filled with restrained anger and frustration. The driver says nothing but increases his speed. Loreen is staring out the window now, lost in thoughts. She hadn't been able to fulfill her motive. How could she?It seemed the billionaire refused to give her a single chance. He suspects her, and he is protective of her prey. The vibration coming from her hand bag cuts through her thoughts, she sits
