A broken girl and a mafia story
*******
"I lov--" he was about to say those words but I put my hand in his mouth to stopped him and said "don't please" a tear escaped from my eyes "I'm not strong enough to...
"The Smith & Johnson account. A significant opportunity for us, indeed." She turns to the Xavier, "With your approval, I suggest we allocate our best resources to this project.."
"Their fresh perspective and proven track record make them an invaluable asset for this high-stakes client. He nods approvingly. I believe with the right team in place, we can not only meet but exceed Smith & Johnson's expectations." One of the co-work explain.
The meeting concludes with a round of nods and eager agreement. As everyone begins to file out. He gets up but halt, turning to everyone, "I want regular progress reports from each team lead, every Monday morning. If someone fails in giving reports regularly then I will fire the team lead."
"I've been reviewing the quarterly reports, and I must say, I'm impressed with the overall progress. But we can't afford to rest on our laurels. I propose we explore expansion into the Asian market. I've already begun preliminary talks with some key players in Hong Kong and Tokyo."
He was currently inside his office dealing with his mafia works. Xavier is indeed at the office, dealing with the mundane tasks that come with running a criminal empire. He's currently on the phone, barking orders at one of his underlings. "I don't give a fuck about your excuses, just get it done!"
Ace come inside his office"the deal with the other mafia what about that.?"
Xavier sighs, rubbing his temples in frustration. "The deal with the other mafia is still pending," he says, his voice tight with annoyance. "They're being stubborn and demanding more than we're willing to give. I need to get on the phone with Vito and settle this once and for all."
Xavier picks up the phone and dials Vito's number, his mind still on the deal and the potential implications it could have on his empire. As he waits for Vito to answer, he glances out the window, his thoughts drifting to you.
"Vito," Xavier greets curtly as the other don picks up. "Let's cut the crap and get down to business. Your demands are too high, and you know it." He leans back in his chair, his eyes narrowing as he braces himself for Vito's counteroffer.
Vito chuckles, his voice gravelly and menacing over the phone. "Xavier, always so direct. Alright, let's talk numbers. You give me 30% of the cut on the docks, and we'll call it even."
Xavier's grip tightens on the phone, his knuckles turning white. "15%, Vito. That's my final offer. You know the docks are my territory, and I can't afford to give up more than that without causing unrest among my own men."
Vito pauses, considering Xavier's offer. After a moment, he responds, "20%, and that's as low as I can go. Meet me at the old warehouse at midnight, and we'll finalize the deal." With that, he hangs up the phone, leaving xavier to contemplate the terms of the agreement.
Xavier sets the phone down, a slight frown on his handsome face as he mulls over the impending meeting with Vito. He glances at his watch, noting the time.
He turned to Ace "He has called me to meet him at the old warehouse, only there,we will know whether we got the deal or not. And you're coming with me, inform Rio too."
Ace pouts playfully "why me tho? Let me get my beauty sleep. It's that enough for you, I stayed with you the whole day in the office, now you want me in night too. Don't realize that you love me so much." He said dramatically. Xavier scoffed looking at him.
"Bish, dare to pout again, I'll punch your face. You're my right-hand man, how the hell I suppose to lock the deal with him without you. After 1 week Rio will be here too."
"Oh finally my life saviour is coming to rescue me." Ace's grin widens. Amusement can be seen in his eyes. "I'm going then, I've lots of work to do." Xavier nod.
He go through all the documents for the project. "Why they're so messy." He sighed, sitting behind his mahogany desk, his tie loosened and the top buttons of his shirt undone. His phone buzzes, showing the name "heaven." his heartbeat quicker. He answers the phone.
you're okay right?" She nod as he can see her. "Open the door I'm coming." He was about to grab the car keys but a weak voice stopped him, "don't." This is first she said to him after 2 month.
He sighed sitting back "ok I'm not coming, but you can't be alone in this state, did you call someone?" "...Lucy..." A wave of relief rushed into his heart "stop crying butterfly." His voice breaking. Now there is a pin drop silence in each side, only her soft sobs can be heard.
"I can't bear the fact, that you're crying and me being a bastard, can't even give you hugs. Please." He requests. "When you'll talk to me? I'm missing your sweet voice, I want to see those pretty eyes, who hold power to melt me in a second. Luna is missing you." He then heard her soft snores. "She slept. " He whispered to himself.
After a moment a unknown girl reply "She is sleeping. Don't worry, and don't have to call cops I'm her friend Lucy, she will be fine now. You can visit her, whenever you want." He was about to say something but she hangs up. "Why in so much hurry?" He whispered.
While he was discussing something important about meeting with Vito in old warehouse, his phone buzzes. Without seeing the name he picked up.
A lady roar, "MISTER WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS I DON'T CARE. Now listen, DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR COMPANY, how can you call yourself her boyfriend when your fuvking employees were bitching about her, in the presence of her."
He then pulled the phone away from his ear "heaven" the name show. "definitely Lucy." He whispered to himself. Putting the phone against his ear again. He chuckled when he heard Lyala's yelling at Lucy.
"They had created a group to do this shit. How can you ever call yourself the ceo of the company when you don't know what's going on between your employees, they fucking call your wife a whore." His grips tightens around the phone, listening to each and every word Lucy said. But his anger faded when he heard Lyala's voice.
"Th..they, wait let me breathe. She is so fast. Start practicing."
She took a deep breathe and again starts yelling " where are we? He was about to answer. But she started yelling again.
"Yeah and that bitch, fuck that Ashley, why the hell you even allowed her to your office Because of her they called her your mistress," Lucy tried to catches her breathe.
With her last breathe the call cut. "No wonder why they are best friends." He sighed looking at the phone screen.
"Mistress." He stares at the phone intensely, his expression hardened, his face contorts with anger.
