The Mafia’s Woman

“How’s Freddie?” Carl asked as he took his glass of wine.

“I don’t know” Elsa said.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Why does everyone keep talking about him? Can’t they just see how the name alone destroys her?

Carl walk to her and pecked her cheeks, Elsa swallowed.

“You’re cute” He smirked and starts walking back to Marina’s room, who’s probably still sleeping .

Elsa sighed as she watched him disappear. She carried her almost cold pasta and her juice and walked to her room.

She should eat and hurry to school already , and she prays she doesn’t meet Carl here when she’s back.

“Good Morning Best friend!” Olivia giggled and circled her arms over Elsa’s shoulder.

“I didn’t see you in the morning when I entered the classroom then I guess you will be having morning lecture” Elsa smiled and patted Olivia’s hair.

“Yes, The literature teacher won’t just let us rest. I can’t believe we are graduating next tomorrow” Olivia said.

“Me too, Time flies fast” Elsa said.

“What’s your plan after college? Are you going to high school after?” Olivia asked.

“Mm. My dad said I will and I’d like to, but I just try both of us get admission to the same high school, I don’t want to spend my days there without you” Elsa smiled.

Olivia nodded. “I hope so too, we’ve been friends all through college”

“That’s by the way, How’s Liam?” Elsa asked and Olivia’s cheek turned red.

“He’s fine, Liam told me he love me yesterday!” She giggled.

“Olivia, Liam is playing you. He plays every girl and he’s definitely enjoying it.” Elsa said.

“Why don’t you like Liam, Elsa? That it didn’t work out between you and him doesn’t mean it won’t for another. I know I’m your friend and shouldn’t date someone who you once hits on, but I just like Liam. I mean every girl does, besides he told me I’m the only girl in his life ” Olivia blushed at the late sentence.

“Uhm…. Liam is at my house” Elsa said turning her gaze out to the door.

“What…? What are you saying just now?” Olivia stared at her.

“Olivia, Liam is dating my sister Marina. And they are both over my place, I told you. Liam is a player” Elsa said.

“That jerk!” Olivia yelled trying hard not to cry. They are the only one in the classroom as it’s break time.

“I told you so don’t get all worked up and let’s talk about something else, you should try get over it” Elsa said.

“Uhm… About your Mr. Stranger” Olivia said smiling after wiping her tears.

“What about him? Do we have to talk about him?” Elsa rolled her eyes.

“Tell me, Did he.. did he called you?” Olivia asked and Elsa checked his head negatively.

“He doesn’t even have my number and I don’t care, I don’t have his either and I don’t want you” Elsa said.

“You’re funny. The look on your eyes says it all!” Olivia said and laughed..

“Argh! Do you have to look me in the eyes? And I don’t know what you’re talking about” Elsa rolled her eyes.

“You sure don’t” Olivia smiled.

“Will you be okay?’ Olivia asked Elsa as they walked down the hallway. School was over and students were strolling out including them.

“Huh? What do you mean, I’m fine” Elsa said.

“I mean, will you be okay staying with Marina? Won’t she be a headache to you, you know how bitchy she is” Olivia said and Elsa nodded.

“Marina is my sister. I’ll handle her, I can’t run away from home” Elsa smiled.

“Alright, I’ll catch up with you later then” Olivia smiled and waved at her.

Elsa cling onto her backpack as she started to trek home, she doesn’t feel like taking the cab, she’ll just walk a little and then take a cab. Elsa wondered why she’s feeling so weak, she feels a little dizzy and she knew she’s down with fever again. She sighed.

Elsa always have a panic attack right from when she’s 12, she could still remember the reason why it happened. He father had always been away during those past years and Elsa lived with May and Marina in fear. They treated so badly and will always harass her, Elsa is too emotional and can break down easily. She had fainted that day after having a pain on her chest when May, her step mom was hitting her for mistakenly pouring water on the floor.

That day, at the hospital, the doctor had announced to them that she having a panic attack and it has hit her heart. They were given some drugs that can help, Elsa took the drugs as assign but stopped four years after when she felt she’s okay. And then her encounter with Freddie, who raped her, had broken her more.

She’s too weak and the doctor have told her she’s going to die early if she doesn’t learn how to control her emotion. Else is too fragile and she couldn’t help her self, she’s just too weak.

Her phone started to ring which brought her back from her thought. She stopped walking and searched for her phone in her handbag, she brought it out and stared at the screen. When she looked, her heart almost burst and she had to hold a tree nearby for support. It was Freddie calling!

Elsa hadn’t heard from him for the past two years after the rape and she had moved on. She’s doing fine as long as there’s no Freddie. Elsa trembled. Her legs became too weak to carry her and she falled down.

Her heart was begining to ache and she wondered if she has her drug with her. The phone soon stopped ringing but Elsa’s heart hadn’t stop aching.

She felt so weak as she used her trembling hand to search for her drug in her bag. She was getting weaker and weaker and her eyes couldn’t hold on too long. Elsa knew that.

Why does this have to happen now? Why does it have to be at this road side? She found the drug tab in her bag and brought it out. Elsa tried opening it but her hands won’t stop trembling, eventually the drug slip off her hands and her eyes were shut immediately.

She lay there, unconsciously.

Colorado Carter walked inside his ware house and the guards all bowed, everyone that sees the look on his face knew something is wrong. Of course something is happening.

“Where’s that Damn ass hoe!” He yelled.

“He’s in the inner room” One of his personal guard answered.

Colorado walked into the inner room. A guy was tied down on a chair and his white cloth was stained with blood already.

“Radon” Harden, Colorado’s right hand man and best friend called him immediately he saw him.

“Did he still have my package?” Radon said through gritted teeth. Harden sighed before replying him.

“No Radon, before we could trick him down, he already delivered the package to the Holly’s.” Harden told him.

Radon gritted his teeth and move to the guy, he draw out a chair nearby and sat down. The guy stained in blood who seemed to be in pain stared up at Colorado.

“Where is my package?”Radon asked him calmly.

“Look Radon, I’m sorry! I didn’t plan this, you know I’ll never betray you. Please spare me and I’ll get back your package, I promise. Please” The man pleaded in pain.

Radon stood up from his chair and punched him on his jaw. He cried out in pain spatting out blood.

“How dare you! Do you think you can betray me and get away from it? No! My name is Colorado Radon Carter! You dare not mess with me!” He yelled and punched him again.

This time, on his tummy. He groaned in pain but there’s nothing he could do, his hands and legs were tied together.

“You should have known this awaits you the moment you decided to join the Holly’s against me! You forget me so easily? I’m still the Italian Mafia Boss!” He yelled and this time, he didn’t punch him once, Radon continued to push him , letting out all his anger on him and no one dares stop him.

Everyone knows that, Whoever betrays Radon gets the death punishment and no one dares. He was well know and feared! He has so many enemies and yet none could bring him down.

“Radon please” The guy winced in pain.

Radon stopped and ordered one of his men to get him a bucket of water, he obeyed and came back with the water. Radon poured them on the man who was almost dying.

“Your wife, and your daughter are under my hostage! Get me back my package or I’ll send you their bodies before killing you too!” He finally said and walked out of the inner room..

Harden ran after him. Harden is his right hand man and also his best friend, he’s the only one who can talk to him and make him do things.

“Radon, If it’s okay with you let’s….” Harden was saying when Radon cut him shut.

“I’m not ready for any drink, I’m heading home” He said. Harden bowed and handed him the car keys, he collected it and storm out of the warehouse.

His hand was stained with blood but he doesn’t seem to care. He misses his Barbie doll and he hope she won’t be mad at him for so long.
