The Dangerous Mafia

★★

Rosetta Gussle stated, gazing at Joshua's back who was unwilling to look back, "I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long."

The Gussle family had a lot of clout in the world of politics. They had the power to melt iron, but Joshua's might was greater.

Joshua whirled around when she spoke this, his black eyes meeting hers. It was very apparent that her presence did not please Joshua much.

“If you think you can keep me waiting, then you must be mistaken. Miss Gussle. Have a seat,” Joshua paused before continuing, “You've got to come to see me because I want you to,” Joshua stated monotonously. When Rosetta unexpectedly felt her leg fall into a puddle during a great conversation, she could not screech but smile as if nothing happened.

Rosetta took a seat, crossed one leg over the other, and grinned sweetly before saying, "Thank you so much for the time." She would need to be meek and approach Joshua because being haughty would not be useful in this situation.

“Did you come to my room at my grandfather's request when I was drugged?" Joshua took the seat in front of her and confronted her. Rosetta gulped a mouthful of air with her lips apart, her scared knees quivering as she tried to think of a flawless reason that would allow her to enter Joshua's life.

“I- I was,” Rosetta dallied to provide a simple answer that might have been concluded in one word, but she didn't want him to swat her away if she spoke quickly.

“Rosetta said, her eyes down to her feet, "I'm sorry, but when Grandpa reached out to me, I wasn't willing to do this with you. But then he requested, holding my hand, and I just couldn't turn him down.”

Eyes never lied, and someone like Joshua could pluck the truth from between them, therefore there was no other way she could conceal them from him.

“You mean to say that I spent the night with you? What made you run away the next morning?” Rosetta became perplexed as Joshua halted. She looked uneasy as she wondered if he was fooling her. Then she heard Joshua's voice once again, "Because I wanted to talk about marriage with the girl, I spent the night with," as he described his desire for Rosetta. For all this time, she had been gripped by an unsettling tightness in her chest, so when she heard him, she erupted in happiness. Although she was ecstatic and wanted to run after Joshua to give him a big hug, she restrained herself to portray her sadness.

"I was afraid you wouldn't accept this and would do something to me," Rosetta admitted, her tears streaming down her cheeks as she explained what had caused her to flee from there.

“I had no idea," Joshua remarked as he rose from his seat, his knee touching the ground. He knelt before Rosetta, who seemed to be in a dream. She had Joshua under her grip just by speaking to him. She was curious if he was the same violent, avaricious mafia, Joshua.

“I don’t want anything, Josh,” she continued her melodrama as her hands were grabbed by Joshua’s palms.

Incredulous but overcome with excitement, she softly raised her head to see his kind eyes. The danger and allure of his greeting were present. But with all her heart, she desired it.

Later, she noticed him slouching. “Is he trying to kiss me? Oh my God!"

The thought of being welcomed this way by her desired lover made Rosetta's heart trill with joy as she closed her eyes. She didn't have any other requests. Rosetta allowed him to quickly kiss her by bending forward and letting him.

Joshua had his eyes open, staring at Rosetta's face, and a faint rage flashed up in his eyes when he saw Rosetta was not that girl, a total fraud she was. She was full of deception schemes, and even though he knew she wasn't the same person, he couldn't stop himself from trying her. Though he hadn't seen the girl's face the night before, her taste and smell lingered in his mind.

Rosetta was jerked away by Joshua in no time. She was in disbelief, wondering what had unexpectedly happened to him.

“Josh,” She beckoned sweetly and got to her feet. She went right away to hold the man's hand when she noticed that he was departing without speaking to her.

But what occurred to her after that, she had no concept of. Her hand was yanked away from Joshua, and she was flung to the ground viciously.

“Ouch!!” she moaned as her knees hit the ground. Her stature had also fallen like a piece of trash.

“Are you crazy?” In between her sobs, she screamed. It was not only painful, but it also harmed her self-esteem, which no one had ever done before.

“Do you still have a mouth to shout with? Be grateful to God that I spared your life today! You're conceited if you think Joshua Daniel can be duped by tears alone. What a harlot!!" Joshua's clear voice echoed around the room. It was an example of her folly to enter the lion's den without protection.

“It’s you who kissed me. I didn’t come to you,” Rosetta grunted angrily as she gazed into his eyes where it was obvious to her that he was repulsed by her.

“You showed your intelligence by refusing to acknowledge that you weren't in my room. HAH!! You were rejoicing in your head that I was entranced by your words. Trust me, Even though I already knew everything, I still went to you to see whether even a small percentage of what you said was real. Unfortunately, you are far more filthy than I had anticipated.” Joshua concluded by expressing the brutality of his remarks, which knew no one if the rage rose in the head. "Save your tits for someone else, and get lost," he said.

“I apologize, Joshua. I lied. But please, please. I like you. I want to be with you and will never tell you a lie. Give me a chance," Rosetta begged as she pushed herself up from the ground. She tried to reattach her shattered goal by standing beside him because names were so important to trample the world. Joshua Daniel was the god of might, the one who could both steal and give life.

“Despite the fact that you tried to trick me, I have given you the greatest chance possible and am allowing you to leave safely. Now, if you say anything one more time, tomorrow I'll take away your family name from this planet,” Joshua commanded, his enraged eyes ready to swallow Rosetta, who tried to speak but could not find the words.

Her eyes, which were streaming with tears, kept staring at Joshua for a long before she marched out of the room, her heart crashing to the floor. Joshua approached the window and pondered why he was so eager to meet the woman as he gazed at the pitch-black lake. Was he not angry with her? He asked himself.

“Fuck this shit! I will not waste time tearing you apart for conspiring against me. Let me grab your neck first," Joshua muttered into the darkness. The rage grew into a disappointment that drove him insane. He couldn't bring himself to relax because his men were still unable to locate the girl.
