The mysterious man

Chapter 4

The strong wind drifts through my way as I stare over at the huge city. My mind wanders to many different things but as of now, I kept thinking of her. Ever since I saw her at the club, There was something about her which made me slightly intrigued into her. I wasn't sure what is was but I probably shouldn't be involved with her in the future later on.

"Hey Xander, we need to talk" Eric says from the front of the door.

"About what" I ask back.

"Aria." Eric replies.

"What about her?"

"Did you meet Aria before?" Eric asks me in a serious expression.

Fuck, if I lie again then he'll get even more suspicious, I should just tell him and get over with this bullshit" I think to myself.

"Yeah, I did" I reply back.

"I guessed that but at the same time am a bit curious as to why she's quite alerted around you"

"I don't know"

"Idiot, you probably do but anyways I hope you treat her with some respect at least"

"Why do you care about her?"

"Because, I can"

"Yeah, he definitely likes her but why her? Cant he like another girl instead. He's really trying to get on my nerves." I think to myself.

"Okay, you do you then"

"Don't worry, I will" Eric smiles then leaves the room.

"I don't care, he can like whoever he wants even if it's her. I'm just going to have to avoid them either way." I think to myself.

The next day, I went out back to the club to grab a drink.

"Xander, what a surprise to find you here" says Clara

Clara is a longtime stripper at the club. She had her eyes on Xander for a long time and still is persistent on him. Xander and Clara used to have one night stands but that would be the only thing between them.

"What do you want Clara" Xander sips on his drink while looking back.

Clara comes closer to Xander puts her arm around his shoulder.

"I was wondering if you and me could have some fun" Clara says while holding onto Xander's arms.

Xander gently pushes Clara away.

"No thanks, I have work to do now" Xander replies back then walks away from Clara.

I exit from the club and started my car engine.
I needed to focus on the real life issues I'm dealing with.

While driving along the road, I suddenly heard 2 gunshots. I then quickly got off my car and opened my trunk.

My trunk was mostly filled with weapons and
knives.
This was my biggest secret.
My job.
Being a mafia leader.
