Mafia Kingpin: A Dark, Thrilling Organized Crime Romance

My phone began to sound with notifications and I froze to the spot in fear, as I realised it was probably Matthew. He was probably waiting for me outside, and he couldn't see me like this. He couldn't know what was going on...

"Who the fuck's ringing you, goddammit?!" Steve roared.

"It's probably my friends," I said shakily. "They're coming soon..."

"You disobeyed me and now you ain't seeing your fucking friends. Switch your fucking phone off."

I broke down into fresh tears, but Steve was boiling with rage. My crying only made him even angrier than he already was.

"Stop crying, you fucking whore!" Steve roared. "I'll answer these pricks myself, give me your phone!"

"It's okay Steve," I said desperately. "I - I'll l - let them know I'm not coming..." I couldn't let him look at my phone... If he saw the messages I exchanged with Matthew, then I was a dead woman walking. He would probably kill me right here.

"I said give me your fucking phone!" Steve screamed, snatching my phone out of my pocket.

I froze to the spot, my face going white in fear. The room went eerily quiet as I watched Steve's blood run cold. The name Matthew was blaring on the phone screen. Rage boiled over Steve's face... He looked like he was about to murder.

"How could you do this to me?"

"What did I d - do?" I could barely speak. I was scared for my life.

"You're seeing someone else," Steve said flatly, the veins pulsing on his skin.

"N - no I'm not! How could you think of such a thing, I love you baby..."

I leaned forward and touched Steve's arm desperately, wanting him to calm down. He slapped it off hard, and stared into my eyes.

"Who's Matthew?"

"W - what?"

"WHO THE FUCK'S MATTHEW?!" Steve roared.

"Babe, he's j - just a friend, I - I promise..."

"A friend that wants to get in bed with you?"

"Don't be ridiculous!"
