The Broken Mafia

Chapter 3 Sign Of A New Life

I woke up with sound of my cell phone ringing. My head was pounding from last night's hangover. I picked up my cellphone from side table. My vision was still blurry, I rubbed my eyelids and gazed at my phone's screen. It was a remainder saying that today it was my parent's and Anna's death anniversary. I felt a sharp pain in my chest, wounds that never healed felt fresh. My vision once again became blurry, this time it was not because of sleep but because of tears that reminded me about my loss. Sobs escaped my lips, I felt weak. I wanted someone to hug me and console me that everything would be fine. I felt empty. I despised myself for being alone because it was my fault that I was alone today. I never let anyone reach to the road of my heart. I feared to be betrayed and broken further. I don't think that I would be able to collect myself if my heart was broken once again.

I changed into my usual black attire and went downstairs with my car keys in my right hand and cell phone in the left one. Black became my favorite colour when I lost my family, it reflected my soul ; dark, empty and alone. With two of my men accompanying me I sat in my car. Well, it was some sort of rule that I could not go anywhere alone as said by my guardian father; Harry Crave. I have more enemies than friends so he avoided taking any risk, I was his only family as he was mine.

First I drove to the flower store and bought my parents and Anna's favorite flowers and then we headed to the graveyard. When we reached there I went inside the graveyard while my men stood outside; I wanted privacy and  plus they needed to keep an eye on th area. When I reached their graves I put the bouquets in my hands to their respective places. Then I seated myself on the ground and began to say, "Hey buddies, I am back. I hope you missed me too. And don't w-worry about m-me I am f-fine", my voice cracked and sobs escaped my lips. You were never good at lying now look what the fuck you have done. They would be worried now, let them rest in peace!

I face palmed myself and kept sobbing and whimpering. I felt a hand  rubbing soothing circles on my back. Without looking who the person was I hugged them. I realized it was a girl when she said soothing words, her voice was like music to my ears. It was the first time I felt secure and relaxed in someone's arms. She was just about to release me from the hug when I held tighter on her waist, I begged between tears, " Please d-don't go." She coughed and answered in her angelic voice, "M-Mr you are choking me, I can't breath." Realization hit me and I loosened my grip on her and released her from me.

When I looked up, I felt as if my jaw would hit the floor. She was drop dead gorgeous! She was a brunette with wavy locks that went down her waist, she had a pair of hypnotizing hazel eyes. Her lips were red as blood, she had fair complexion and a bit round face making her look cute. Oh God,  I need her, she's the one. I guess it is the love at first sight. She's mine, what I want I get! I guess this is sign of a new life!

I was snapped out of my thoughts when that angel waved her hand infront of my face. She brought her hand forward and said with her million dollar smile, "Hi, I am lily, lily Rose."

My little Rose!

Without asking my name she stood up and I also did the same. She was an inch or two   shorter than me but still she's my little Rose. She said in her melodious voice, "Sorry,  but I can't stay, I have to go to work. Goodbye." She was about to turn when I encircled my hand on her wrist, she faced me and raised an eyebrow in confusion. I smirked and announced, "You are going with me!" kiss her! I was about to lean in and capture her lips when she pushed me and spoke in a sincere, polite tone, "You are crazy, go home." Once again she turned to leave but this time I encircled my hand around her waist, she began to struggle to loosen my grip but I was much stronger. She yelled, "You know who my boyfriend is? You better leave me alone otherwise you yourself are signing your death warrant!"

Well, there is no man on earth who can beat me but let's play along! I asked in a fake curious tone, "Who?" By the time my men had come inside and were standing behind me. She sighed and spoke, "Ashton Crave." At first I  was shocked but then my men and I bursted into laughter. She inquired in an annoyed tone, "Whats so funny?!" One of my men replied, pointing towards me, "Because he is Ashton Crave!"
Her face was priceless at that moment she had a mixed expression of shock and fear all over her face. While I was trying to compose myself, I saw her running away, I shouted at my men, "Go, catch her and bring her back to me." Within 5seconds my little struggling rose stood in front of me. I moved closer to her and whispered, "Bad girlfriend." Tears made their way out of her pretty eyes, even while crying she looked pretty. She begged, "P-please let m-me go." I head locked her and indicated my men to pass me cloth soaked with chloroform. I whispered in a husky tone, "No, babe we are going on a date." Then I placed the cloth over her mouth, at first she struggled but then fainted in my arms. Sleep tight my sleeping beauty! I scooped her in to my arms and went towards car.
