Miss Mafia Boss

Chapter 3

"Okay, when will they be here?" I ask, holding the phone up to my ear.

I'm calling Lucas, who was running an operation for me. It's nearly a 2 weeks since I became the new boss of the Belladonna mafia, and it's been crazy.

"In about 30 minutes, then we can question them" he replies, hanging up.

The operation was to steal some diamonds, and sell it for lots of money. Or at least, that was the cover. The actual purpose was to kidnap some rival mafia's ex-members, to get information about them.

Ex-members know stuff, and we're not doing anything against the mafias since these people aren't in the mafia anymore.

It's perfect, so naturally nothing can go wrong. Which is why I put Lucas in charge, I trust him more than anyone.

30 minutes later

I rush into the holding cell, where we're keeping the...let's call them 'captives'.

"Great, you're here," Lucas says, "we have 20 of them"

"Alright, everyone clear out" I announce, and everyone except the captives (and Lucas) leave.

All the captives are handcuffed to a chair, with a blindfold and breathable bag around their head.

"Let's get started, shall we" I say, looking at Lucas.

He takes the blindfold and bag off the first captive, and we begin questioning them. With the usual death threats of course.

As Lucas takes the blindfold off the 13th captive, I get a sinking feeling in my stomach as I look at the captive's face.

"Harley, what a nice surprise" the man says, smiling easily at me, leaning back in the chair.

Shit. I've really messed up this time.

"Correct me if I'm wrong sis, but isn't this Ashton Bishop" Lucas says curiously, examining his face.

"Yup" I reply, staring at Ashton.

"And doesn't that also mean we kidnapped the Bishop mafia prince, aka your ex-boyfriend, which could cause us a quite a lot of trouble" Lucas adds, coming to the same realization as me.

"Yes" I say, taking out my phone.

"Well this sucks" Lucas says.

"We need to clear things up with the Bishops, as soon as possible" I say quickly, "also, what kind of dumbass doesn't check who he's kidnapping?"

"I didn't think I needed to" Lucas wails, "they didn't cover this when we learned how to effectively abduct someone"

"You had lessons how to abduct someone properly?" Ashton says in disbelief.

"Yes, didn't you?" Lucas says, as I dial the Bishops number.

"Uh no" Ashton replies.

"My impression of you is declining by the second" Lucas says haughtily, looking Ashton up and down.

"I'm not the person who was trained how to effectively abduct someone-" Ashton begins.

"Shut up, I'm calling the Bishops" I yell, putting the phone on speaker.

"Hello, this is Mrs. Bishop" a voice comes from the phone.

"Hi, yes this is Miss Belladonna, I'm calling about your son" I reply.

"Yes, we realize you're taken him" she says.

"Um yes, it was an accident, and I'm so sorry, we'll return him as soon as possible" I say, sighing in relief.

"Actually, let's have a meeting, my husband will be there as well" she says, and my eyebrows crease.

What?

The next day

"So, you'll be protecting Ashton until further notice" Mr. Bishop concludes, looking at me.

I can't believe this. Basically, the Swan mafia is trying to kill Ashton, and the Bishop's want me to hide him until they take care of the Swan mafia.

And potentially help them take down the Swans if the situation gets out of control.

All under the threat of telling everyone I abducted Ashton, causing a war against me. Unfortunately, most people will believe the Bishops.

I'm furious, my first month of being a mafia boss and I'm already stuck in this.

"Very well, I'll accept your deal" Not that I have much choice.

"Great, so that's settled" he says, standing up.

I stand as well, and shake his hand. 

"Until next time Mr. Bishop" I say, walking out.

"Until next Miss Belladonna" he says, and I can feel his eyes on me as I leave.

I get in my car, and dial Lucas's number.

I explain everything to him, and he groans.

"I'm sooo sorry sis, this is all my fault" he says, sighing.

"It's okay, I mean how much effort can it be to protect one measly guy" I say, trying to comfort myself.

"Who just happens to be your ex" he adds slyly.

"Not helping Lucas" I say, pressing on the gas.

"Oh come on, it's not like you still have feelings for him," he says, "he can just be...a fuck buddy"

"LUCAS" I yell, glaring at him through the phone.

"Whaaaat, if he's there might as well use him" he says, rolling his eyes.

"I am not being fuck buddies with the Bishop mafia prince" I say, speeding up.

"What's the big deal though, you broke up, and you normally wouldn't care unless...." he says, and I can almost see his wheels turning.

"Lucas don't say it" I say, but he yells suddenly.

"UNLESS YOU THINK YOU MIGHT STILL CATCH FEELINGS FOR HIM, BECAUSE SOME PART OF YOU ACTUALLY LIKED HIM" Lucas screams, and my phone falls.

I press the brakes as I pull up to the house, and grab my phone.

"I do not, and please don't say it that loud, what if someone heard you," I begin, "also I'm here so we can talk in person"

"Good, because I am not dropping this" he says excitedly, then hangs up.
