Stalked by the Mafia Boss

“What are you doing here Brian?” Korina asked.

She looked up at him and noticed he was with a new arm candy, a red head this time.

Well, I am not surprised, She rolled her eyes.

“Is this your new boyfriend?” Brian asked nodding his head at Cole who sat there looking dumbfounded watching the events unfold before him.

“What he is to me is none of your damn concern.” She spat eyeing him.

He still looked attractive, more attractive even. He was biracial, really light skinned, great dark hair she once ran her hands through, she felt a painful tug at her heart.

“Gotten a little courageous now, haven’t we?” He smirked.

“Brian leave me the hell alone.” She said, “Please.”

“Why should I?” His smirk was beginning to infuriate her beyond reason, “I just want to see how my ex is doing.”

“Ex? What’s going on here?” Coke asked, korina never mentioned him.

“Well, as you can see, I am doing pretty well without you.” She gritted.

Korina stood up curling her fists, she faced him squarely now, “What are you doing here? In New York.”

“Uhhmm, you know.” Brian said, “I came here on a business trip and decided to give this lovely lady here a treat.” He turned to smile at the red headed lady who in turn smiled back.

Dumb assess, Korina shook her head.

“And how has that gotten anything to do with me?” Korina asked, why was he here? At her table, God why?

“Oh come on Rina.”

“Do not call me that.” She warned pointing a finger at him.

“I just wanted to say Hi.” He said, “I mean no harm.”

“Okay good, you said it, now get the fuck outta my face.”

“Okay, okay.” He raised his hands in surrender, “You don’t really know when you are being played with huh?” He looked between she and Cole a smirk developing on his lips.

“What do you mean?” Korina asked.

“He’s gonna play you, dump you like I did.” He spat.

“Excuse me?” Cole stood up and walked towards him, “I think it’s time you leave.”

“Cole.” Korina called pushing him back politely with her hands on his chest, “It’s okay, please.”

“Brian leave now!” She said turning to him with a glare.

“You are a prude bitch.”

“What did you just call me?” She asked taking closer steps to him, she really wanted to smack the smug look off his face.

“A prude bitch, you got hearing problems?” He asked, “You don’t deserve t…” A slap landed on his face before he could finish his vile words.

“You slapped him, you bitch!” The red haired screamed.

“Shut the fuck up.” Korina screamed at her, they had every one’s attention now.

“You slapped me?” Brian laughed, “No one would ever love you, you are really useless and unlikable. You are irritating.”

Korina could feel tears welling up in her eyes, his words stung.

“You would always be used, dumped, lied to, cheated on and abused. You don’t deserve love you bitch.”

He said the words like she was at fault, like she deserved every calamity upon her.

Cole swung at him but Korina held him back, tears were streaming down her face now.

“Let’s go.” She whispered.

“Just let me punch the fucker.” Cole really wanted to punch him, to cause him pain.

“LET’S GO!” She screamed, this time she didn’t wait for him, she grabbed her purse and ran out of the restaurant with Cole hot on his heels chasing after her.

The ride home was silent. Korina had managed to stop crying, her eyes swollen and all red, her head banged.

“Why didn’t you tell me about him?” Cole asked as they got down from the car, “Why didn’t you tell me about your ex?”Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“It wasn’t necessary.” She mumbled.

“It wasn’t necessary huh?” Cole asked, damn she is unbelievable.

“Cole go home and leave me alone.” She began walking away from the car.

“Korina.” He said, “You are in a bad state let me in, let me in please.”

“Cole go!”

“Korina.” He called again, “Please let me comfort you.”

“I said go, get out.” She screamed.

She left him there and ran into the building.

She jumped in the elevator and went up straight to her apartment.

Korina stripped down to her underwear, went to the bathroom and got into the tub.

The warm water soaking her, seeping through her undies to her skin.

She cried, she cried loud and hard.

All the emotions, all the anger, all the sadness and pent up frustration in her, she had to let them out and she finally did as she laid there in the tub.

Maybe he’s right, Her thoughts were all over the place, Maybe I am really unlikable and displeasing that’s what makes men want to play with me, that’s what makes people betray me and treat me like trash.

She looked up at the bathroom window, the lone crescent was still there, she remembered her earlier comparison and the tears couldn’t stop rolling.

She put her hand in the tub playing with the water, her fingers causing bubbles to form.

I think I am belong in the nunnery, I am never gonna get it right, I am never gonna get this relationship thing right.

There are some people that are meant to be lonely and I am one of them.

This love and friendship thing wouldn’t work.

I am done, the pain is all too much to bear.

Even Cole is gonna do worse, he’s gonna leave, She wanted to retract her thoughts, she felt guilty, Cole had been nothing but good to her.

She sighed and from a distance she heard a dog howl and for some unknown reason the sound contributed to her sadness causing her to burst into fresh tears.

Korina wrapped the towel carefully around her body, she didn’t bother towel drying herself, she was too tired, she decided to come out wet.

She was welcomed by the sound of her phone beeping as she entered her room.

She opened the message, it was from her stalker.

Private number- I could kill him for you if you want.

She huffed in frustration and pulled her hair, the fuck, the nerve of this guy.

“Hey, you!” She said, “I know you can fucking see me.” She screamed.

After all she presumed he was always watching her.

“Don’t kill him.” She pleaded, “I do not want additional guilt.”

“Who are you anyway and why the fuck have you been stalking me?” She yelled, “Don’t you have better things to do, don’t you get tired, for how long have you been stalking me? For months? A year? For how long have you been sending gifts? Ain’t you tired? Damn you!”

“I know you can listen to me.” She said, “You can hear me, I am crazy now, that’s what you wanted right? a crazy Korina, that’s why you have been frustrating me, look at me talking and yelling all by myself.”

She picked up a flower vase and threw it, it met the wall smashing to pieces.

“God why me?” She questioned, “What the fuck did I do wrong?”

She leaned against the wall tears streaming down her cheeks as she dragged herself down the wall sobbing loudly.

Her phone beeped again.

Private number- I wish I was there to hold you, I hate seeing you in pain love.

“Fuck you.” She cursed, “Leave me the fuck alone.” Korina roared rocking herself as she cried.

Leave me alone, She whispered, Alone.
