The Mafias Daughter

Ch. 39 : Pain strike

It's been two days since the family meeting and I was currently seated in my office. A few things were sprawled on my desk and I was ready to quite honestly burn everything. I wasn't in the mood to worry about stock actions dropping when death lingered near me. Memories of hidden truths I knew resurfacing to add to the fire.

~Flashback~

My doors flew open and I looked up from the papers to see some one I did not expect. "Hello" I said. "You seem busy" Adiras dad exclaimed and sat down in one of the seats in front of me. "Well I've been busy" I told him. "Why are you here Nicoli?" I asked. "Well we haven't talked" he said avoiding looking at me.

Odd. "I'm dying". He looked at me and I noticed there was no playfulness in his eyes. "When I was gone a few months ago, I made a trip to Russia. I was diagnosed with brain cancer after a fall I had" he said while he rubbed his hands. "Have You told Adira?" I asked. "No".

"How long do you have left?" I asked. "A month tops" he said. "Have you seen her?" I asked. He shook his head. "Im going to Russia today. Settle a few business arrangements" he said. "You can't keep on avoiding her" I told him. He didn't say anything, the room fell into a dark silence.

"She doesn't know about our true partnership. I don't want her to know. Im going to sign that part to your name" he whispered and stood up. "Does your wife know?" I asked. He didn't say anything. He walked towards the door and left my office.

~end of Flashback~

I decided today was enough and got up and walked to the doors when my phone ringed. I walked back to my desk and picked up. "Times up" a voice said and then the line went dead.

I closed my eyes in anger and slammed the phone down back in its place. I walked again to the door and walked out of my office. "Cancel everything" I told Ashley.

"I need you to sign something before you leave mam" she said and stood up. She handed me a folder and I opened it. "What's this?" I asked. "Umm the board decided to give you the names to their replacements".

I starred at her before looking back at the papers. I took them in my hand and ripped them apart. "I'm replacing them, I don't need suggestions from imbeciles" I told her and handed her the shredded paper.

I walked away from Ashley who was rooted in her spot looking dazed. I made my way to the elevator and waited for it to open. Once it did I stepped in and waited for the doors to open once more.

Once they did, I stepped out and made my way out of my company. I looked through my contacts and dialed the number I had been dialing non-stop for almost a month and a half now. Straight to voicemail again.

I got in my car and drove out of my parking spot and made my way home. I was irritated. I wanted the earth to swallow me, maybe then would I get some peace. After what seemed like forever to me, I finally arrived home and parked in the garage. I got out of the car and slammed the door shut in anger. Was I really on the edge of losing myself?

I walked to the elevator and got in, put my pin in and waited for the stupid elevator to go up. After a few seconds the doors opened and what I saw made me recoil. Blood was splattered on my walls.

My tile floor adorned with red footsteps. I walked into my pent slowly just in case the intruder was still in the pent. I followed the footsteps until I entered the kitchen.

A uncontrolled sob escaped my lips as I saw someone I knew on the floor. I kneeled down, my white skirt getting tinted pink as the cotton took in the blood on the floor with joy.

One of my shaking hand reached to take hold of the women that had worked for me more than five years. "Mary?" I asked as I turned her cold body towards me.

Her eyes were blank, lifeless. I felt for a pulse and felt nothing. My body trembled as I noticed something on her chest. A small envelope. I picked it up and opened it to find a cellphone and letter.

Hope You enjoyed one of your gifts. I cant wait for you too see the many more I have in store for you.

I stood up and almost slipped on the covered tiled floor.

I took hold of my cellphone and dialed Carlos. "Boss?" He asked. "Send a cleaning crew over to my place" I rushed out and hung up. As soon as I did so, the phone from the envelope began to ring.

I answered it as I rubbed the tears from my face. "What do you want?" I asked pissed off. "No hello?" A voice I knew well asked. "Mikel".

"Hello love. Did you like the gift?" He asked. I looked at the lifeless body sprawled in front of me and tried to get the nauseating feeling I was having to disappear. "Why?" I asked.

"Well that was the first gift actually. Your second gift is sitting right in front of me" he said. I could already imagine his stupid smirk through the line.

"Who is it?" I asked knowing it was someone I knew. "Your husband" he said all playfulness from his voice gone. "What do you want from me?" I asked as the elevator doors opened and in entered a few members of both Mafias. "I want to make you pay for your humiliation" he hissed. I laughed at that.

"My humiliation?" I asked. "Believe it or not your family owns me a few things. You rejected my offer, your husband ended business with me the day after my offer" he said.

"You sound like You have something else to say". He laughed. "Your parents caused my mother's death" he hissed. I blinked a few times at that. "Where is my husband?" I asked.

"Your brother knows. Think. Times almost up" he said and hung up. "What do you want us to do boss?" One of the cleaners asked. "Clean this mess up and once your done, head back to the house. Family meeting in 40" I said and walked to the elevator. I got in and hit the down button. The doors opened and I practically ran to my car, got in and drove off.

After 30 minutes, on the speed of nearly 200 I arrived at my uncles house. I dialed someone from the russia mafia and ordered them to get to alessandros house. I walked into the house and made my way up the steps.

"What's going on?" My uncle asked once he saw me. I stopped in my steps and looked at him. "Call the family. Wheels up in 50 for all of you" I ordered and walked up the final steps and made my way to the office.
