Mafia is a process, not a thing
_____________________________________Irina's point of view:"You are late this morning to your practice, What's wrong?" My friend and instructor, Garry asked"I have menstrual cramps, I don't think I can practice today" I told him."Oh sorry, let me get you chocolate then" he said as he went out of the practice room to get me the chocolate. I sat on one of the benches and took out my phone to call Sarah, Sarah has been my personal maid and friend. I only have two friends in my life and they are Garry and Sarah. Okay, this is my life. Since when I was born into this world, I have never been out of this compound before, I have always been indoor. I have been in a cage all my life. I am not like other kids. I am part of the mafia system here so I have to be safe, that's is what they told me thoughI have never even gone shopping or gone to school. I was homeschooled, I attended college online. Well, I am a graduate of entrepreneurship. I hate my life. I have been caged all life. I am twenty five and I am still like a child before my parents and family as a whole"Irina Alexei, you called for me" Sarah said as she entered the room.I have always been envious of her, she is free to go out when she wants. Sometimes being rich is not everything but having a freedom that you can guarantee yourself and be happy being yourself.Sarah's parents died while working for my family, they died because of my family. They were loyal to my parents till they died and that was the reason why Sarah is the most trusted maid in this house.She is being treated like my twin by my parents and everyone else in this house. I like Sarah, I am willing to protect everything I have.My phone buzzed off indicating a new message.I opened the message, it says'There was an attack outside dad's office today, dad lost most of his workers, he is angry, be careful around him' from Ruslan, my younger brother.An attack, who could that be?"Please get me a glass of black coffee, I need it" I told her."You look off today, Are you okay?" She asked me."Cramps" I replied curtly."I am sorry. Let me prepare you a hot soup and bring you drugs" she left after that."Here you go" Garry gave me a box of chocolate as he sat down beside me."Dad is pissed off, stay out of his zone."I warned him. Garry always gets on my dad's nerves with his clumsiness. "Really?" He asked."Yes, don't tell me that I didn't warn you, since there is no practice today, let me start going. Thanks for the chocolate" I stood up"Wait, we can have fun today right?" "I need my bed right now" I left the practice room. I walked through the passages of the house to my room. No doubt, this house is so damn big that almost everything is available in this house."The food is ready" a voice said through the intercom.I sat on my bed unbothered by the voice, I am not hungry this morning.I opened the chocolate box and brought out a piece of chocolate. I unwrapped it and threw it inside my mouth. I wish I could just run away.Someone knocked on my door, Sarah opened the door for herself and entered.She holds a tray that contains the soup she said she was going to bring and pills."Didn't you hear that the food is being served? Or do you want it inside your room? I can bring it if you want" she sat beside me."I want to run away, I am fed up with all this bullshit." I told her."You will soon be free, babe. It is just a matter of time." She said with seriousness. What does she mean by that? Is she perhaps hiding something?"What do you mean by that?" I asked her."Won't you get married? You will, so I guess you will get your freedom when you get married" she said with a smile on her face. But her face says it's opposite."Marriage? I am not ready for one" I told her."Whatever, just take your soup before it is cold" she dropped the tray and went out.I drank the soup and ate all the chocolate, after that, I took my medicine and slept off.**I rolled on the bed as I opened my eyes. I stretched my body lazily and sat up retrieving my strength."Welcome back, my baby" my mom, Galina Alexei said. I looked at her direction with blurriness, she was seated on my couch, feeling relaxed like she owned it."Hey Mom" I said as I got off my bed and went to the toilet.After using the toilet, I went out but not before washing my hands properly."What brings you here, mom?" I asked her as I sat on the bed facing her."I came to greet my little princess, no offense in that, right?" I rolled my eyes waiting for her to tell me what brings her here."You ain't getting younger Irina, you should also be in the system." I thought she wanted to talk to me about marriage when she said 'You ain't getting younger' but she is here to convince me to be part of the mafia system again."We have discussed this several times mom, and I think we have come to an agreed conclusion" I said with frustration."You thought we had that agreement but I never thought about it the same way you did. Come on Irina, you are a beautiful young lady. You are fit for this. A lot of investors will invest when they see a lady with a lot of confidence convincing them" she said."Are you telling me to sell my body for the sake of this so-called business?" I asked her."No,of course. Why would I suggest something like that, I am only saying you are fit for this. You studied Entrepreneurship in school, so what are we talking about" she waved her hand in the air dramatically."I studied Entrepreneurship not marketing" I fired at her."Whatever, all I want you to do is to join the business, you can't be eating and sleeping here without doing nothing. Your brother is working hard, join him and raise this family name. Gender doesn't matter in the mafia world. Moreover, you can see how greatly your dad lost these few days, he is getting older, he can't handle all this alone. He is not as agile and he was before. Think about it dear. Don't forget mommy loves you" she caressed my cheek then went out of my room.Fuck the mafia world! otva'li, mudak, b'lyad! ****How do you like this chapter?Please don't forget to like, comment, share and follow me up.Have a nice day.Glossaryotva'li, mudak, b'lyad! --fuck off, you asshole, fuck!Remember, this story's setting is in Russia.The best way to enter our business(mafia) is to be born inside it.Roman's point of view:"Is it best for you to talk now or else you will really regret being loyal while being in our captivity." Denis said as he held his gun against captive.I sat before the captive, waiting for him to talk."You think I am really going to talk, then you are very stupid for thinking that way." He spat at my face. I cleaned my face with my handkerchief. I signaled to my men to bring the driller. Seconds later, I was handed the driller. I switched it on to check whether it is working or not."What the fuck is that thing?" They asked."You don't want you to know. You think I will waste my time here, chit chatting with you? Then you must be stupid for thinking that way" I used his sentence against him."Pass the gun, Denis" he passed me the gun. I shot my captive on his two legs. He screamed in pain."Are you willing to talk now?" Denis asked him as he smirked."Fine, I will talk, just promise you won't
Never trust a friend that chills with your enemy______________________________________Roman's point of view:"What's the plan?" Denis asked."I don't know yet but I will let you know when I think of one. Start going" I told him with seriousness."Come on, dude" he tried to protest against my decision but after seeing the seriousness in my face, he gave up trying."Fine, I guess someone is having a mistress tonight" he said, but I chose not to talk."Wait, is there still a bullet inside you? You are bleeding" he asked."Of course, now get the fuck out so I can remove it" he stood up and went to the kitchen. Seconds later, he came back with a bullet extractor and passed it to me."You need blood tonic, my gee. Hemoglobin" he said and went out."Thank God, he is out of my sight." I sighed in relief. I told the extractor and placed it on my wound. I winced in pain as I removed the bullet.The idiot only gave me a bullet extractor, he should have known I needed a first aid box.I held th
Be careful who you trust, even the devil was once an angel.______________________________________Irina's point of view:"Your dad blacked out" Sarah rushed into my room.Without saying anything, I ran outside my room to God knows where he was.Is he okay?I asked myself. How was I supposed to know?"Slow down or else you will fall" Sarah voiced out behind me."He is in his room" she said again.I ran to his room, I stopped when I reached his doorstep calming myself. I opened the door and entered his room.There he is, laid on the bed with duvet covering his half body. He eyes are closed unconsciously. I gasped in fear and shock. I am afraid of something happening to him. But I can't shed tears, I never cried since I have known myself as an existing human being. No matter how painful I am, I just gasp as a way of showing emotions and sympathy. I was told my dad and I have that in common. Apparently, he doesn't cry. He is one hard man.My mom keeps sobbing as the doctor checks him.
Knowledge will give power, but character will give you respect.______________________________________Roman's point of view:"We need more flour for the preparation of griddle cakes and some desserts. We are out of flour, you know how your family members like griddle cake. I have to make dozens of it." My mom, Anya Anton said.This woman always treat me like I am a child child or a messanger."Mom, do you realise you are ordering a whole Don to buy you flour" I boasted."No matter your position, you are still my son. So, I can send you on errands any how I like" she said as she slapped my left cheek gently with her hand full of flour."Mom!" I whined."Go quickly, we are running out of time." She said as she continues kneading dough.I might be the toughest guy you have come across or at work but I am the softest and the most caring guy when it comes to my mom and sisters. I don't joke with that gender."Okay ma" I said as I took my car keys and went out. I can't believe mom, there
Win in silence, let them think you are losing______________________________________Roman's point of view:"What?" I yelled."Yes, sorry about that. We caught the man that set the house on fire" Denis said over the phone.I built that house with billions of Rubles. It is my favourite farm yard and torture ground."Take them all to the second farmyard down my office road" I said."Yes Don" I cut the phone. I am angry to the extent that I can burst at any moment. I think I will have an attack any moment. I have to put an end to all this stupidity. This is a child's play not a mafia game. He is such a coward because if he is not, he wouldn't be sending people to destroy my assets. He should face me man to man.I got in my car and drove to the farm yard to see how bad the condition was. Few minutes later, I parked at the front of the gate.I called Denis as I sat inside the car while I was staring at my ruined property."Hey man" he said."I have a job for your men and you have to superv
Real friends have the same enemies______________________________________Roman's point of view:"Recap?" I said without even knowing what I said. It took me by surprise."We need to make a deal with each other to destroy that new family" he said again but sternly."A deal between us? Why can't you ask my dad about that?" I asked."You control your family business now and your dad is a pain in the neck. He will never listen."he said annoyed."There is no way there will be a deal between the two families. Have you forgotten the family you want to make a deal with? The Anton family?" I reminded him."I know,if we don't make this deal, this new mafia family will destroy our families. They are more powerful than their families. Their next target should be your family" he said."How sure are you?" I asked him.He passed a file to me. I took it and went through it."Lucas Dayson is part of their investor?" I asked him."Yes" Lucas Dayson is the most powerful mafia leader on the planet. No
Never give up your friends, no matter what______________________________________Irina's point of view:"Your dad is back" Sarah said as she entered my room."Oh" I said as I continued reading my novel."He looks down" she informed me."Is he okay?" I closed the novel and faced her."Your attention is needed. Your mom and brother are already in the study room" she said."Why is it needed? Did he tell you anything?" I asked her."No, you know him. He wants to meet you and tell you whatsoever he wants to tell you himself. He is always like that" she shrugged."Okay, I will just go right now." I stood up from the chair and went out of the room but not before wearing my slippers. I went through the corridors to his study room. The house is pretty silent. It always does when my dad is around, no one wants to witness the angry side of him.Everyone knows he hates noise.I opened the door and went inside the dark room loaded with books, mostly ancient books and poems.If you want my dad to
I am street, so look both ways before you cross me______________________________________Irina's point of view:"You are getting married?!" Sarah exclaimed in surprise as I told her."Yes, To Roman Atono" I told her."I am so bewildered right now. But why?" She asked me."You should go and ask Dad" I tried her.She rolled her eyes at me."When is the wedding?" She asked."Even the bride doesn't know about it" I shrugged."What the God damn fuck?" She asked."I have to finish my novel tonight so please excuse me" I told her."Whatever" she said as went out of my room.Roman's point of view:I arrived at my parents mansion not long after leaving my penthouse. I am so damn nervous. Telling my dad about this isn't a problem but will I tell my mom and rest if the family?I sat in my car for about 30 minutes not knowing what to do. I am afraid of going inside. But I have to tell them anyway.The thing about me is that I may be ruthless and deadly but I am afraid of my family, especially m
