King and Queen of Mafia

Chapter 1

Talking to aunt Jamie always made me feel good. She was always cheerful and gave me good advice. She knew how to make me happy.

I had been separated from my family when I was two years old. I don't remember much from then. Aunt Jamie had found me left alone on the streets. She tried to look for my family but when she found nothing, she adopted me. It was so nice of her. I am so grateful for that. She treated me like her own daughter.

According to her, someone had left me on the streets. She had known my name looking at the locket in my neck. It had my name Rose written on it. It was rose gold with a few diamonds in it. My parents must have been rich. Not that Jamie wasn't. I never removed the locket. It was like my lucky charm.

Jamie's son had died when he was just three. She did not want me to call her mom because it reminded her of him. She never really got over him completely. I understand. Losing a kid is not a great experience. I did not mind actually. I respected that.

I heard a knock on the door. My new roommate. He was supposed to move in today. I was not exactly happy when I came to know that the landlord wanted someone to move in with me. I mean, what the heck? I had declined it but he said he had no choice. How is that even possible? I was paying that bloody man enough rent.

Anyways, I was going to move out in a few days after I received my degree which was in two days. I had to tolerate him till then. Maybe he would be nice.

"Hello" I tried to sound nice as I opened the door.

I faced man who looked a greek god. He was tall with a muscular build. Like really defined muscles from what I could see. He had brown hair with a hint of dirty blonde. It went really good with the blue eyes. He also had a perfect jawline. He looked really intimidating though. We spent I don't know how long shamelessly checking each other out.

And then, he walked past me. That simply angered me. I was trying to be nice for heaven's sake.

"I said hello, mister." I said venomously.

"Yeah. I heard." He had a British accent and voice full of arrogance. I hated him already. What an asshole.

I scoffed and returned to my bedroom. If he didn't act nice, nor would I. The coming weeks were going to be tough.

-------------------------

Kai was quite friendly sometimes. Sometimes meaning a minute or two in 24 hours. But the other times, he was not nice at all. He spent most of his time on some phone calls yelling at people. What a mean person. I wondered how old he was and what he did. Maybe he was 3 or 4 years older.

Yesterday had been busy. I had finally graduated. Now no teachers or professors for the rest of my life. Yay.

I sipped my coffee remembering the sweet moments of my graduation. That's when Kai decided to enter.

When I looked at him, I felt tingly. There he stood, shirtless. His perfectly chiselled muscles which included eight pack abs were full on display. Now I understood the meaning of god's creation. He even had a tattoo. Something with a crown and skulls.

"Nice tattoo" I couldn't help but compliment the work of art.

"Hmm. That represents the mafia king." I nearly died choking on my coffee. Even he seemed surprised by his answer.

A mafia? He must be lying. But he sure looked and behaved like one.

That explains the all the coldness arrogance and yelling. My subconscious said. And for the first time in my life, I agreed.

He was a little nicer than he was on the first day or so I thought. Let me make it clear, nicer here means him saying 'Kai Parker' when I made an effort to ask him his name and a little 'humphs' and 'hmms' here and there. But mostly, he was cold and arrogant.

My head started spinning and I felt a bit scared of him. Who is not scared of a person who according to me, kills innocent people without a second thought?

I left the room, feeling uncomfortable as quickly as I could. I was unable to read his expression. But I could tell that he was somewhat angry at god knows who and that I might be in danger.

I showered, changed and left the house in less than 10 minutes. That had to be a new record. I took at lest 25 minutes just to shower. Dressing up took another 7 minutes.

---------------------------

After wandering around town for the whole day, I had cooled down a bit. I decided to have dinner and then go back home. How bad could it get?

I entered a small diner called 'The Corky's'. No one was there. Good. I was definitely up for a quiet dinner.

I ordered a burger and my favourite choco chip ice cream. I could live on choco chip ice cream for my whole life.

Just then three men, all dressed in suits entered. For a moment I thought I was in a Men in Black movie. The only difference was MIB has Chris Hemsworth whereas these men were funny and weird looking. I think I had seen them before. Outside my apartment and somewhere else.

One of them took out his phone and spoke something eyeing me in a weird manner. Creep.

On a closer look, I noticed all of them were armed with guns. I panicked. Were they here for me? I snapped out of it. There was no possible reason why three totally weird men would be after me. Still, its not everyday that you meet people like these in an isolated diner.

Then I remembered Kai. He could be after this. Maybe. I took out my phone and quickly texted him. Yeah. For some not so odd reason I had his number.

Me: Are you making your men follow me ??

In just a few minutes, he replied.

Kai: What ?! Why would they?

Me: There are three armed men in an isolated diner where I am having dinner. I have seen them around a few times today.

I was a total fool. I was asking the man who was possibly making his men follow me for help. Classic me. Not that I couldn't handle them. I was greatly skilled at kickboxing. But they had guns. There was a clear winner when it came to a single girl doing kickboxing and three men with guns

Kai: Those are not my men. Could you check whether all of them have a piercing in their left ear?

I looked up and saw that they had a silver piercing.

Me: Yes they do.

Kai: So they are the Romano's' men. You are being followed.
