Claimed by the Mafia King

White Lion’s POV

Sophia was sited on the sofa in her office while I was laid back on her table. The office was warm despite the AC and I could not help but feel positive that my plan would work.

“So what you are telling me now is that you want me to attack your mansion and pretend to kill you. Then you are going to fix up your face with makeup so that you can appear hideous to prevent her from recognizing you? And when she falls for you, you want me to pretend to kill you again, just so your gang and everyone thinks you are really dead. Then you want me to scare her away to the country where you would apparently be. What will I get for all this trouble? Because this will definitely be a lot of trouble. Supposing this plan works which I doubt that it would. I really doubt.”

Sophia slowly reiterated my plan while looking at me like I had grown two horns.

The expression on her face was one of confusion, shock, amusement and maybe a little jealousy. I couldn’t help but smile a little at it. I understood her though. I sounded mad even to myself.

Sophia was just as smart as I thought she was. I didn’t think she would understand the plan at a go. “When I leave you can take over from me.” I shrugged. “Isn’t that what you always wanted? To take over the gang. I will leave you and Marcus in charge. I don’t want this life anymore, and I don’t want her to fall in love with the devil I am. I want to go to school, probably start a business. I have enough money to leave this country and still have a good life, enough money to buy companies. I have the connection, the money, I could leave now but I want her with me.”

“Then take her with you. I mean it is that simple. She is still going to find out one day that you are white Lion.”

“When she does I would no longer be White Lion. I will just be the man who loves her. I want to protect her but to do that I have to protect her from myself. I don’t want to be my father.” I said, calmly. Too calmly.

“He protected my mum from everyone but he failed to understand that her love for him was her true doom. If Mira falls in love with me as I am in myself she would forever feel the guilt of loving a criminal. She has heard about my deeds, she has seen me kill. I don’t want her love for me to be something she continues to rationalize. Something that goes against who she is.”All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I want it as pure as she has envisioned her love for her man to be. As pure and maybe even purer. Sofia this is a win, win for the both of us.”

“Tomorrow during breakfast I want you to attack, but don’t kill alright. I will ask my men to back away but there would have to be gunshots that’s what will make her believe my death. Then I would have to contact Ken, the leader of the dragon gang. He is the only one as heartless as I need a devil to be.”

“I would create a devil in her life, so I would be the angel that saves her and you, you just have to kill me again so that I can finally be dead to all of them but you would wait until she loves me first, until she loves the angel I would pretend to be. I want to be the man she wants.”

“But then the gang will still be called white lion and your people might not respect me.” Sophia sighed. “This is insane. Is she worth it? Is she worth giving up your life for?”

“She is worth giving up my life for Sophia. Besides this isn’t a life. This constant killing and violence.” I leaned further into the desk. “Sophia if they don’t fear you then make them.” I smirked. “You and I know that you know how to bring a man to his knees.”

Sophia blushed. “And where does Marcus come in all of this?” She asked. I could tell that she wanted to change the conversation as fast as possible. She didn’t want me to notice her blush.

“Of course I would tell him. He would be my eyes and ears when I start putting my plans to action.”

“This is insane Lion even for you! And how did you have all this planned out? What if something goes wrong? You might be arrested! This is crazy. This plan has a lot of complications”.

I chuckled a bit, it sometimes felt good when she worried about me the way she was doing now. I wasn’t without a heart after all. “You trouble yourself too much Sophi, nothing can go wrong. Besides, I know you want to get rid of me and this is the only way you can do it. So help me. Remember, White Lion is always three steps ahead. Always.”

“I don’t want to get rid of you Lion.” She started saying, while standing up. “I just want power.” She started walking to me with a smirk playing on her lips. “And I know you do too. So tell me, why do you really want this girl? What does she have to offer. Don’t tell me that you are doing all this because you love her.”

She was now close to me, acting as seductive as ever. That was Sophia for you, always seductive.
