Stalked by the Mafia Boss

Korina took the phone and angrily put it off completely.

She was getting tired of the incessant beeping and ringing.

She flung the phone across the bed not caring where it landed and settled back into her covers to sleep.

That’s all she had been doing for days now, sleeping, eating, she hardly took a shower, she never came out and she ignored all calls and texts, she wanted to be alone.

Each time she remembered Brian’s words, it stung her badly and made her eyes wet cause she believed they were true.

No one would ever love me, She thought, every one had actually left and hurt her. The only permanent people in her life were her mother, who was now gone, Daniella, Aunt Dido, Mark and now Anne.

She didn’t know what to think of Cole, she didn’t know what judgment to make about him, She wasn’t sure what his motive was, was he gonna be like the rest? Was he gonna be different from them?

Apart from her life being in a clutter, her apartment was more than cluttered. She hadn’t cleaned up for days, clothes, cans of food, soda cans, plates littered everywhere, it was a mess. She was almost out of food but didn’t bother to go shopping, she stuck with cream and yoghurt sometimes nothing at all.

She was tired and felt emptier inside as the days passed by, she even had suicidal thoughts creeping her mind again.

It wasn’t long before Korina awoke to the sound of her door being banged on.

“Go away.” She muttered barely audible even for her own self to hear. The bangs grew louder but bearable.

She just laid there on the bed stuffed beneath the covers staring at the direction of the door then at the ceilings hoping her nonresponse would make the person go away.

“Open this damn door now!” She heard the person at the other end scream, it was Daniella, the banging was becoming unbearable now.

“Open up this door bitch.” Daniella banged louder, “Open this door, this instant.”

“Go away!” Korina mustered strength to scream, “I don’t wanna talk to anyone.”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Well too bad, I wanna talk to you.” Daniella said, “Please open the door babe.” She pleaded convincing herself that Korina would agree if she pleaded politely.

“Nope, I won’t.”

“Hmm!”

“Nope!”

“Bitch! Asshole!” She growled angry that her pleading had gone to waste, “I am breaking this door down this instant, I have watched a lot of action movies to know how to do so.”

“You wouldn’t dare.” Hearing Korina say so from behind the door gave her more courage, she was so going to do it.

Daniella dropped her purse and took retreating steps.

“Woooo.” She said exhaling and inhaling, “Last chance Korina, open the door.”

“Nope.” She heard her cousin yell.

“Here it goes.” She lunged forward running towards the door and then releasing her leg in a kick with full force.

Something went down, it definitely wasn’t the door, it was Daniella.

Daniella found herself on the floor after falling with a loud thud.

“Ouch.” She howled feeling pain shooting up her back, “That hurt, damn!”

The door opened, she looked up and found Korina at the door in shorts with a big t shirt.

“Hope that hurt?” Korina asked frowing at her cousin on the floor, “Serves you right.” She said as Daniella groaned in pain.

A smug look developed on Korina’s face, Daniella stood up and smiled at Korina.

“My sweet cousin and best friend.” She said stepping in front of Korina, she brought her hand and smacked Korina on her forehead.

“Oww!” Korina whined massaging the area, “What the hell was that for?”

“Hope that hurts? Serves you right.” Daniella mimicked her with a smirk, “Out of my way.” She pushed her aside and went into the apartment.

“Damn!” Daniella exclaimed looking around the apartment, “What in the world happened here?”

“Pain happened.” Korina fell on her sofa, “So much pain.”

“You look like a mess, your apartment is a mess.” Daniella said and bent down to pick an empty soda can, “Start talking.”

“I don’t want to.” She huffed.

“Cole gave me a brief down of what happened and how you prevented him from punching the hell out of that dirt bag.”

“I didn’t want us to cause a scene.” Korina leaned back on the Sofa, she looked around and saw an unopened can of soda, she grabbed it, opened it and started downing it immediately.

“Yen, yen, yen, yen.” Daniella mimicked her, “What did he say to you anyway, how did it happen?”

“Well, at first I felt really nervous and hella anxious, sweaty palms and I was filled up with the feeling of something bad about to happen.” Korina paused.

“Go on.”

“And then I flung the feeling aside and decided to enjoy the rest of the dinner, at a point I went to the restroom and came back, continued eating my dinner only for that bastard to come with his new arm candy and ruin everything.”

“What the fuck is he doing in New York anyway?”

“I think he came for a business meeting, I know the company tho, it’s vilzeza’s and Co.”

“Oh I know the place too.” Daniella nodded, “And then what?”

“He said a lot of things and asked if Cole was my boyfriend and…” Korina recounted everything and told it to Daniella, she was surprised that she wasn’t shedding tears as she talked.

“Why did you hold him back from beating him?” Daniella asked, “You fucked up big time, you shouldn’t have.”

Korina rolled her eyes, “And you know what that monster called me?”

“What?”

“A prude.” She said, “He freaking called me a prude.”

Daniella stood up abruptly, “He what?!”

Everyone in the company watched as the young white lady marched into the Company, she went through the offices, corridors and lobbies with curses flying out of her mouth, they also saw a young black lady trailing her trying to stop her.

“That nitwit!” Daniella screamed taking another turn, “That bastard, that fool, he’s a fucktard, that vapid slime.”

“Daniella you should calm down.” Korina said trying to catch up with her, her breathing was rapid, evading security and trying to find the board room was no easy task.

“Wait till I find that nincompoop, that brainless dunderhead.” She shrieked, “I would cut his balls and shove them down his throats and pull his kidney out of him through his stank anus.”

Korina winced, “Don’t you think that’s a bit brutal?”

They were in an open place now with a lot of cubicles with workers behind them and workers moving around them.

“Where the hell is the board meeting?” Daniella screamed looking around, “And where the fuck is Brian brainless Trey Butler?”

No answer.

Every one just stared at them.

“There was actually no reason to add the name Butler.” Korina said scratching her neck, she didn’t want to drag poor Brian’s granddad’s name in the mess.

Daniella ignored her and turned to grab a smallish man by his collar, the files he was carrying fell to the floor.

“Where the fuck is that nitwit?” She spat.

“What are you talking about ma’am?” The man asked shaking evidently.

“Let go of the man Daniella.” Korina sighed, “Let the poor man go.”

“Where the hell is the board meeting?” She asked him paying no heed to her cousin.

The man pointed in the direction of a big oak door, Daniella dropped him and marched towards the door, she flung it open.

“Where the…” She stopped screaming when she found no one but a receptionist behind a desk.

“Dan, let’s return home.” Korina tugged at her arm but Daniella freed herself and marched towards the desk.

“Good evening ma’am.” She greeted sweetly showing a wide grin on her face.

“How may I help you?” The woman asked frowning.

Rude, Korina glared at the woman.

“We are looking for Brian Trey Butler.” Daniella told her, “It’s an emergency.”

“He’s in the meeting, you can’t go in there.”

“Okay.” Daniella nodded backing off from the table and then she turned breaking out into full speed running towards the meeting too with Korina following.

“You can’t go in there.” The receptionist shrieked trying to catch up with them in her wobbling heels.

The doors were flung open and Daniella walked in causing all activities in the room to come to a halt, Korina stood behind her feeling somewhat ashamed and shy.

“Good morning, ladies, gentlemen and a fool.” Daniella greeted with a wide smile.

Everyone looked at them, bewilderment was the expression on their faces.

“Who are these people?” Brian stood up raising his voice as he glared at the girls, “Someone call security.”

The receptionist had finally reached them, she was breathing heavily, “I tried to stop them.” She gasped.

“Ahh! If it isn’t Brian brainless Trey Butler, ruler of the seven kingdoms of idiots.” Daniella turned towards him her hands balled in fists.

Before Korina could process what was happening, her best friend was on top of Brian in a millisecond, kicking, punching and throwing curses at him.

All attempts to rip her off him were not too successful as the people who tried also go hit.

Then suddenly, Brian let out a howl, he howled in severe pain.

Daniella had ripped off a part of his hair.
