Mafia Kingpin: A Dark Organized Crime Romance

REWINDING BACK TIMEFOUR YEARS EARLIERWHEN ALL THE MADNESS BEGANI sat down in front of the TV, playing Crash Bandicoot as usual. My stepdad Steve was coming round today. Steve was black, in his 40s. I couldn’t wait to see him. He always came round to see me, and help Mum with money, because she was finding it hard to manage without Dad.Dad left me when I was ten. I hadn’t really given it a second thought. I didn’t need him, and Mum was strong without him.Dad is Caribbean and Mum is white. I was half black, and half white. Dad’s parents disowned him when they found out that he secretly got married to Mum, because they didn’t like her. After staying with us for a long time, Dad finally realised he’d had enough. When Dad left, Steve came along.My phone started ringing, and I jumped to answer it straight away.“I’ll be there in 5 minutes, little man,” Steve said on the other end of the line.“Can’t wait! I’ll go tell Mum to get the table ready,” I replied excitedly.“That’s live, son

CHAPTER 2Not WHAT WE PLANNED§ LOUIS §It was a brand new day.I walked into the living room to see my next door neighbor Margaret here.“Hey Margaret, what are you doing here?” I asked.“Hey Louis, I’ve been given info that your mum’s in hospital,” Margaret said sadly.“What happened to her?!” I asked, terrified that something bad had happened.“On her way home from the pub last night, she got robbed and beaten apparently,” said Margaret.I took a deep breath in.“But I’ve been told that she’ll be fine,” Margaret reassured. “None of her major body parts were beaten so she'll need to be taken care of for a few days and given pain-killing medication before she comes home.”I sighed. I was relieved that my mum was going to recover, but I was still so upset that someone would do such a fucking thing to her.“Can I see her?” I asked.“I think it's best not to given the state that she's in,” said Margaret. “She needs rest and she'll be back before you know it, but I'm gonna have to take c

§ ELLIE §I walked into the playground, making my way to the school gates. I saw Sandra, Aminah and her friends stood at the sidelines, talking to each other. Dumb bitches, strutting around the school like they owned the place. I was queen bee, and these bitches needed putting in their place. It was time to have some fun.I had so many problems at home, with family, with my little sister. I guess bullying people made me feel powerful. Made me feel like I had some sort of importance; made me feel validated. That’s why I did it… because my own mother and father always bullied me. I just projected out my anger onto other kids at school.I walked over to them, and kicked Sandra so hard she toppled over. She sobbed uncontrollably and I broke into laughter. This would teach those girls a lesson not to fuck with me for sure. They were nobodies, and that’s all they were ever going to be.Just as I was about to walk away, Aminah spun me around angrily.“What the hell did you do that for?!” Ami

CHAPTER 3MISTAKES WERE MADE§ ELLIE §I stood in my room, changing in and out of outfits to find the perfect dress for my date with Dante tonight. I finally settled with curling my hair and then tying it back, wearing red lipgloss, and wearing a navy bodycon dress that hugged my curves. Dante was going to be so happy, because I looked so good right now. This outfit was giving me the confidence boost that I needed.I walked into the living room, carrying my baby sister in my arms. She was just 2 years old. I searched the house for Mum and Dad, but they were nowhere in sight… It looked like they weren’t home again.Why did they always have to fucking ruin things for me? How was I supposed to meet Dante when there was nobody home to look after the baby?I rocked the baby in my arms, worried, contemplating what to do. I was just going to have to feed her and put her to sleep. It’s not like me and Dante would be out that long… and hopefully, I would be back in time for when she wakes up.

“I can think of many things I’d rather do than sit in a boring restaurant,” Dante shrugged, and then burst into evil laughter.My head started spinning as the reality of what was happening came into full focus. I struggled to breathe, it felt like the walls were closing in on me. I was trapped in an alleyway with a creepy old man… There was only one way that this could end.I screamed. I screamed and I screamed and I screamed, until my throat went dry and tears slid down my cheeks in fear. I stepped backwards away from Dante as he stepped closer towards me.“It’s okay baby, nobody can hear you,” he whispered, and I broke down into sobs. I felt so helpless, I didn’t know what to do.“You thought I was going to give you 1000 pounds just to have dinner with me?” Dante murmured. “Dumb bitch.”He sighed, trailing his finger along my collarbone as I cried.“Did I tell you how beautiful you look tonight?”He started trailing kisses on me, and I kicked his crotch as hard as I fucking could.
