A MAFIA STORY: MY FATHER'S DEBT

My boyfriend

“Who is it?” I asked. 

“Joseph,” he replied softly.

“Go away please, I need solitude” I huffed frustratedly.

Joseph should have just treated me like his slave that I am. I never saw myself falling in love my whole life.

I had dozed off for a while before I heard the knock again.

“Joseph, leave me alone,” I groaned.

“ Please, I didn't bring Ama here because I love her. She only wanted to spend time with me because our contract is over, it's time for me to set her free as promised” he explained.

I couldn't help but smile. Finally, she isn't going to be a pain in my ass anymore. I still didn't respond so I guess he left. Then I heard the knock again.

I picked up my phone, I could help us both this way.

Me: Ask Alfred to take her, then we can talk.

I sent that text to Joseph, I would love for Alfred to get one last chance with Ama, he owes me for this.

Seph: Okay, meet me by the beach in thirty minutes.

He responded to my text.

He was leaning on a coconut tree very close to the beach. I walked over to him and stood next to him.

“ Hey,” 

“ Hey,” he responded, wrapping his arms around me and sniffing my neck. “ I have missed you” 

“ While you were fucking Ama?” I scoffed.

“ Why do you have to bring up Ama everytime we talk,” 

“ Because you are fucking her!” I yelled.

“ Why are you so bothered about that ? Uhn? You fucked Alfred while he was fucking Ama as well and you don't seem to be mad at him.” 

“ What I had with Alfred was a mistake, a very stupid mistake and I'm not in love with Alfred that's why I'm not mad at him, I don't care who he fucks” I broke down in tears, my face getting hot out of anger. 

I hate it! I hate that I'm so vulnerable in front of him. I turned around and attempted to leave when he pulled me back by my arm.

“ Zola,” he called, pulling me into a hug.

I sobbed into his chest, pouring out all my pain in the form of tears. He waited for me to relax a little before pulling away from me.

“ Let's go for a walk,” he whispered into my ears. We locked fingers and walked down the beach for a while in silence before I finally said something.

“I have never fallen in love my whole life and I was so sure I wouldn't stupidly trust my heart to any man. But I guess I was wrong, when I met you I was so sure I wanted more than just sex and It broke my heart that you didn't see me as nothing but a sex pawn.” I said.

He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he sucked on my neck.

“ Zola, I know nothing about falling in love. I have never been in a relationship with anyone but something about you is different, I want you and only you. I love the warmth of your body, I love your face, I love your skin, I love your voice, I love your lips, I love everything about you Zola. I just didn't know what to do” he dipped his hands into my blouse from behind and unclipped my bra, slowly bringing his hands towards my breasts which made goosebumps appear on my skin.

 I moaned into his ears as soon as his cold fingers met with my warm breasts and pinched my nipple softly.

“ I'm sorry I made you feel that way, give me a chance to make things right to make things better,”

“If you want to make things better we shouldn't start with this, we should talk and go on dates like normal people do.” 

“Is Zola saying she wants a break from sex?” He teased, smiling into my mouth.

“ I'm saying we should talk and get things together for a while,” I responded.

“Anything you want my angel,” he said

We walked back to the family house and got in the car, he said he wanted to take me out for dinner.

We arrived at the elite restaurant and ordered food. I have never felt so fancy my whole life.

“ You good?” Seph asked.

“ Yeah, I'm fine” I squeezed his hand softly.

We were quiet for the next few minutes until someone approached the table

 It was a man, a very tall one. There's only one man I remember to be this tall and…

Ohh shit…

I recognized the tattoo on the back of his palm.

“Tobias,” Joseph called, hugging him as they mentioned memories and laughed about it. 

“Excuse me,” I coughed and excused the table, running off to the toilet.

I locked the door immediately I was inside. I cannot run away from Tobias no matter where I am in this world, he will find me.

I wiped the tears that fell down my cheeks and waited a bit before I walked out of the restroom.

“Dear, Zola” I felt his strong arm hold mine, pausing my movement.

“ Tobias,” I gathered courage and stayed composed.

I turned around, simultaneously crossing my arms over my chest.

“You look beautiful,” he grinned, placing a soft kiss on my cheek.

“Thank you,” I retorted, taking a step back.

“Don't run away from me Zola,” he gritted, grabbing me and yanking me towards himself.

I hit his hard chest, trying to check around for Joseph.

“Joseph introduced you as his girlfriend. Good Job” he said.

I managed a smile.

“You should get back to work,” He released my arm.

Tobias is the tallest man I know. He is so handsome as well and has lots and lots of women just like Joseph.

“I'm sorry I left so abruptly,” I whispered, settling back into my seat.

“It's okay,” he looked at me weirdly and continued eating.

He cleared his throat and put down his cutlery.

“If we are going to do this then I'm going to have to be honest,” he said.

“ About what?” Asked, chewing on my steak.

“I think I have a son,”  He said.

Oh My goodness.
