As I drive through the streets,my mind is a whirlwind of thoughts. There was a strange mixture of anger and possessiveness stirred within me. I couldn't shake off the damn image of her  helpless and alone in the house. 

I felt the urge to get back home and see her, reassert my control over her. I glanced at my watch noting the time.

"I wonder what she's doing right now..." I muttered to myself, feeling a bit too curious. My thoughts were filled with with the image of her sitting and waiting for my return like a good girl. I could help but feel a pang of curiosity and slight impatient to get back to her.

I was feeling a mixture of anticipation and a sense of possession over her, even though I didn't completely understand why she was on my mind so much. I wasn't used to having strong feelings for anyone, let alone someone I technically owned.

As I continue to drive my thoughts switch back and forth between my new   responsibilities and my growing attachment with her.  I was torn between wanting to assert my authority over her and ensure her compliance , and a strange desire to protect and keep her close.

These contradictory emotions left me frustrated and confused. I wasn't used to feeling this way and it irritated me how the girl had managed to get under my skin.

I tried to shake it off, telling myself that I was just concerned about her safety and my position within the organization, but there's a nagging voice at the back of my mind that tells me that there's more to it than that.

I never felt this way about anyone and it both excites and alarms me.I clenched my jaw, trying to shake off the thoughts of her from my mind.

"I don't need any distractions right now,I'm the fucking mafia king now. I have important things to think about. She's just one of my assets, I can't let myself become distracted by her".

But even as I said it,I couldn't quite convince myself that she was just an asset. She was quickly becoming something more than that whether I wanted to admit it or not.

I kept driving, trying to push the thoughts of her away, but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't seem to ignore her. She had somehow managed to capture my attention in a way no one else has before.

I had responsibilities now...I was the new mafi- speaking of responsibilities. I wonder how she'll react when I tell her about my new position. She'll probably just stare at me with those wide innocent eyes of hers.

That is something I'm really looking forward to,I could almost picture her reaction. I could be intimidating if I wanted to and I wasn't sure how she was going to handle the news. She'll probably be scared.

As I continued driving,my thoughts shift slightly, now focusing on the practicalities of my new position. I thought about the tasks and responsibilities that came with being the head of the organization.

I ran through a mental list in my mind, considering the different areas I'll need to oversee,the people I needed to deal with and the decisions I needed to make. The weight of it all presses on me but I was determined to rise to the challenge.

I knew it won't be easy and there would be obstacles and challenges along the way. But I was confident in my own abilities to handle them. I've always been a natural leader and I relished the  opportunity to prove myself in this new role.

"I need to hold a meeting when I get home..." I thought to myself.  Then my thoughts drifted back to her, i couldn't escape her thoughts for a long time.
