The Maid of London

Chapter 9

    Eric was angry yet happy , a combo of mood that is very unusual . He was angry because of the entire Anaconda Mafia situation , angry that he would have to face his practically non existent father again soon.

    But what he was happy about was that he had helped Natasha , his butler, Reginald had informed him about Natasha's mother , and Eric had in fact sent a informer to alert him of the situation , and when he found out her mother was going to die despite the fact there was a treatment , he wasted no time in delivering the large sum of money .

     Besides that money wasn't a lot to him either way , plus he would get to see her smile . And he would love to see her thank him with a face that made Eric form a mischievous grin.

    He wanted to go there by himself but he knew that he would be risking Natasha's and her family's lives by doing so, because of the whole Mafia situation.

     Currently Eric was sitting in his office , thinking about how he should handle the Mafia situation, so far they hadn't targeted his family, at least not yet. 

   Eric sighed and then began to dial a number, his father's number to be specific . The phone rang 3 times , until finally the line on the other end picked up . 

     "Hello" said an old man's voice that was undoubtedly his father.

    "Hi dad" Eric said dryly .

     "Eric ? Son it's been a while, i am so glad you called. I missed you my.." Eric cut him off and replied "Okay listen here dad, the only reason i called is because of the Anaconda Mafia, they are here in London, but knowing you , you already know that."

       "*SIGH* Yes i am aware, and we have already took measures, don't worry, i have sent a few spies to check on that Mafia". replied his father, Joseph Danvers.

     "Good, then i take it that Mom and i have nothing to be worried about ?" Asked Eric glad that he wouldn't have to physically meet his father nor his brother.

   "Yes son". replied Joseph , his father.

     Before Eric could hang up on him , Joseph said : "Eric, i am concerned , you know as well as i do that i won't live forever , and when i die , your brother will take over the Mafia , and you as well as i do that he isn't like you and me , he loves power and authority ,you may have the company but i also want you to officially take over the Mafia. I want to die assured that my family and my legacy is secured."

     Eric rolled his eyes and said : "First of don't even think you and i are the same , second of all i want nothing to do with you and your murderous shady heritage , third of all my brother ,Michael , can take care of everything just fine and last but not least ,that's what you ever cared about hasn't it ? Your legacy , you always cared about your reputation over your own family and we both know what the consequences were ."

     Joseph sighed and replied : "Eric i know you still blame me for William's death , and hell maybe i even am to blame for it but i still care about all of you , I Lov..."

   Eric cut off the phone by ending call before his father could finish his sentence . Thank god he hadn't met him face to face or else he would have strangled him (his father) to death.

    He sighed ,he needed a god damn break . His phone rang again and he picked it up to talk to whoever it was. Thankfully it wasn't his father nor the Anaconda Mafia .

--------------------------

     Natasha was ecstatic . Her mother survived the surgery . It was a success . It had taken a full hour to explain to her family who Eric was , "really" was . Emphasis on "really".

    Thankfully the doctors said that this type of heart attack won't happen again . And apparently Eric had EVEN applied for 20 years worth life insurance for her entire family , free of cost . Which meant no more medical bills or pill bills for 20 years !

   "At this point i could kiss Eric right now !!!"  Natasha thought feeling very happy, but when she realized what she had thought then she blushed and mentally slapped herself for thinking such weird things . 

    Eric was just her friend , wait he was her boss but her friend and that's all he was ever gonna be , an incredibly nice ,kind hearted and generous friend.

     But she couldn't help but feel something else, something deep inside. It was a feeling , a weird one something had never felt before.

     Natasha was quick to brush off that feeling , it was probably because she was feeling too happy . Right ?

    Natasha sighed happily and enjoyed the moment , her mother who had woken up kept crying from tears of happiness. Iris had indeed thought she was a goner, but now she couldn't help but thank Eric again and again "mentally" despite only just knowing he existed a few hours ago. Besides he had saved her life.

    Natasha had stayed with her family for 2 days . After 2 days she decided to go back to work, she was glad that her mother was alright and that she had gotten to spent  time with her family.

   She said goodbye to her family and went to the nearest bus station , the driver had obviously left when he dropped her 2 days prior.

    She went on "The London Bus Services" Bus . It was cheap but comfortable.

    After a few hours she recognized the bus stop that they were approaching , it was the bus stop that she would stop at . No pun intended .

    Eric's mansion was about 15 minutes from here . She had a smile on her face as she thought about meeting him again . She had a lot to thank him for.

    Before she could think anymore , something happened .

    There was an explosion ........... near the bus .

     The next few seconds were a blur. There was a loud explosion, people screamed , she was in the air along with everyone else ?, ohh the bus was rolling ..... literally .

    Then the bus crashed , her head hit the metal chair , all the windows were shattered and blood was dripping down her face ...........

    All of a sudden everything turned Black And then she was unconscious ...............
