"Well? Pick it up! You're gonna make him more mad but refusing his calls!" Josey yelled at my Dad.Everyone was tense but it was almost like she was even more tense."Calm down, Josey. We'll figure this out" I urged."And what if we don't? What if you eventually marry that gangster of a person and I can't come over to eat free food or see hot guys like your Dad or even get high?" She replied earning her a low laugh from me.Damn, this girl was crazy."Hello? Rossi?" My Dad's voice stopped our chattering and we remembered the matter at hand.Josey signalled him to adjust the call setting to loudspeaker."Accord me my respect, you dimwit! The last people that refused to do that are currently sitting in my room." Rossi replied making us confused until he said the last part. "Decorating the room with their skulls."Of course, Rossi wasn't that kind. Why would he spare people who defied him?"I'm sorry Capone. Capone Rossi." My Dad's voice was so shaky, it made my heart bleed ."Good job,l
*AUTHOR'S POV*"Oh hey Mum." Gabby greeted with a nervous laugh. "You're home early.""Well yeah, The Singapore client we were supposed to be meeting up with changed his mind at the last minute and canceled our contract so I took the first flight back home. What did you want to tell me?""Oh my, Eliora. You're looking so gorgeous. Gabby, don't tell me you've never tried to steal those striking heels before?" Josey complimented to take her mind away from what she heard at the door and Man did it work!"Really? Thanks Josephine. I'm glad someone with good insight noticed. You see, I have only one daughter who doesn't like wearing heels plus I have a husband who has no interest in these things. I kept telling Angela that there are only two others like this one. it's one of a kind. Cost a whole lotta money." Eliora boasted."A whole lotta money, huh?" Gabby asked, hands akimbo."Well yeah! Why not? All my accessories must be top-notch!" She replied." Did your daughter tell you she wanted
"You know what I've heard? The flight to Singapore is so tiring and exhausting and I'm pretty sure our fashion goddess over here is very tired. Now do one thing for us, will you? Please go upstairs and get your beauty sleep. Frowning isn't good for you. it'll ruin your cute little face. And please send me a mail of how you got those shoes!" Josey said smiling at Eliora.Once flattered, Eliora forgets everything at hand."Yeah sure. Thanks Josephine. You're someone who knows my worth. I'll be in my room in case there's anyone else who realized my worth. I'll definitely text you honey." Eliora announced and sauntered her way upstairs."Good job at lying to her." Gabby said with folded arms."I had no choice. I was trying to ease the tension. So the call I just went to answer was from my boss. He wanted to know why I wasn't at work yet and he sounded quite angry. "" Oh I'm so sorry Josey. I didn't mean to drag you into my family crisis. You should go now so he doesn't get even more angry
At the sound of Mr. Leone's voice, Josey flinched and got off a helpless and bleeding Fred. She stood still in front of him with a hung head.He took slow and dangerous strides towards her and yanked her arm painfully,"Josephine, I don't like repeating myself." He said increasing his grip on her arm with each word. "He was using rotten words with me Sir.""Does that warrant you fighting in my office." Leone said as he finally left her arm leaving his handprints there .At this point, Fred was slowly sitting up and gradually understanding what was happening around him."Sir she's a bully. That's how she behaves whenever you're not around. Please just give her the boot. "" Shut up Fred! You don't get to tell me what to do in my company. You should be ashamed of yourself for letting a woman beat you up until you look like you wore rags to work." Leone said and noticed Josey giggle from the corner of his eye." You're not free either young lady. You're tainting my company by fighting
*JOSEY'S POV*I've never felt so small, so timid and even so suffocated sitting here with this huge hot figure in front of me.He adjusted himself on his chair, leaned forward with his hands on his table and stared at me for so long I felt I'd pass out."What's on your mind, little one?" He began.I can't explain why but I found it quite difficult to breathe."Josey! Hey!" He tried to draw my attention by waving his hands over my face like I was lost in a trance.Stop it! Who'd not see such a hot guy as you?"Yeah yeah I'm sorry. I don't know what happened. I guess I just blanked out." I managed to explain." Yeah I figured. So back to what I was saying. You know I don't normally do this, like going around to ask about the welfare of my staff. I mean, it's quite pathetic. I'm asking mainly because you've been a diligent staff with clear records and productive returns for this company and I wouldn't want to watch all that go to waste because of whatever you're dealing with. So tell me i
*AUTHOR'S POV*Gabby slumped on the chair she just stood up from."Doctor!" Josey yelled to the already alert doctor."Nurse! She's gonna be fine." The doctor assured.In less than thirty seconds, a nurse was running with a stretcher and along with the doctor, they placed her on the stretcher and rolled her into one of the wards along the hallways."Will she be fine, Doctor?" Josey asked tugging at the Doctor's coat."You'll need to let us examine her first. Please wait outside. " The doctor urged as he closed the doors behind him.Minutes felt like hours. Everything was not okay. Gabby was on a hospital bed, helpless and left to the hands of the doctors. Her Dad, Daniel, was in the same shoes. Who knows what had happened to him?The opening of the doors of the ward alerted Josey as she literally ran towards him."Doctor, is she gonna be fine?""Young Lady, you need to calm down. She's fine. She was just in shock. I'll prescribe some drugs for you to buy at the Pharmacy just outside t
•At Rossi's Lair•"Did he pick up?" Rossi asked one of his goons."No Sir. He didn't. We've been calling for about two hours now." Jack replied.Jack was Rossi's personal goon. He knew all about Rossi's activities and what Rossi was doing at anytime, any day."Is he tying to avoid me? I hope he's aware that no one can escape Rossi. Even a newborn baby dreads me. "" Martini! Martini! " Rossi yelled." Yes Capone." " Go find out what that Presley guy is doing. Spy on him. He can't try to play a fast one on me. I'll deal with him. Been a while since I spilled old blood. Go now!" Rossi's commanded lighting a blunt." Jack, I need to cool off". " Yes Capone. What do you want me to do for you? "" You and your men should go out and get me three virgin girls. I need tighter holes. Hurry up."" Yes Capone. Stone, Mate, Marco, let's go! " Jack yelled as he and the men walked out of the lair.Rossi had just dropped the lit cigarette into his ashtray when Jack came in, dragging two girls along
