My Mafia Man ◇

Chapter 17: Malcolm🍁

🦋Anxiety eats when love cheats🦋

Raelynn's pov:

I was speechless for once.

I try to think of a comeback, but my mind wasn't working. Plus with him staring at me, it was hard to think.

"Raelynn."

I didn't have to turn around to see who it was, the voice was clear and too familiar to my ear. I clenched my fist, my facial expression going blank. I shift my gaze to the table in front of me.

"Malcolm," Ryker acknowledge him.

"Ryker, Long time no see." He spoke.

"Wish it remained no see at all," Ryker said sarcastically.

"No need to be rude," Malcolm said with a low laugh.

I heard his footsteps going away, or so I thought but he walked to Kyson's side and sat down on the chair beside him. My eyes landed on his face and it was just the same as five years ago.

Malcolm was good-looking.

He has piercing emerald eyes, his jawline was sharp, and his brunette hair falls in big curls on the side of his head as he always parts them in the middle.

The only thing that changed was his lip ring.

"Still beautiful," He says as his eyes remained on my chest for a good minute.

He has a thing for breasts.

"I don't have the energy to pretend to stand you today," I stated dryly.

Malcolm is a mafia leader and my ex-boyfriend. We part ways five years ago when he suddenly decided to leave town. He was the first guy who I was hoping would stay in my life forever.

At first, he was understanding, goofy, charming, and always makes me smile then one day I found out about his best friend. At that time I used to trust him so I ask him about Flora (his best friend). He told me that she was just a girl he met online and talked with for a few months before they ended up being best friend.

Like an idiot, I believed him.

A few days later, they were seen hanging out together and there was nothing as friendly as he mentioned. I talked with him again and he decided to leave because I was too much to handle for him. It was also the day he mention that he would be leaving town with his best friend.

"I understand. I will be in town for a few months, take your time to think." He smiles making my blood boils in my veins.

I chuckled humourlessly.

"Everyone's entitled to act stupid once in a while, but you're really abusing this privilege," I spoke.

This time Jules let out a laugh before covering it with a cough.

"We shall see what the future holds, I might win."

He leaned in his chair with a cocky smirk on his face. Suddenly I started to feel hot from the anger inside of me and unfortunately, the Ac wasn't high enough. I grabbed the hair tie that was around my wrist and reached to tie my hair in a messy bun.

Thank god I borrowed one from Cassandra earlier...

I pushed my seat a little back so that my face was hidden by Kyson's figure. Everyone started to join the table and sat down, waiting for my dad and the other elder mafia leader to come.

I felt my hair loosening and soon it fell on my back. I thought that the tie broke but when I turned to my side, I saw Kyson holding the tie.

How did he remove it so effortlessly?
