Stalked by the Mafia Boss

Korina laid in the bed thinking about her night as she got into her apartment, her thoughts were wild.

Wow, she was amazed and shocked. She had never ever let someone in on her so much as she did tonight. She let someone in, a stranger at that, she didn’t even know if they would meet again. She told him everything about Cole, she had let out her pain and she felt better and relieved, a thing she hadn’t felt in months.

She didn’t know what to think of Jace Lander yet, she didn’t even want to think of him, nothing was gonna happen and they would never ever meet again, she was sure of that.

She had been wild tonight not the party wild but the letting her guard down wild.

She had become an open book to a stranger, an handsome stranger at least, she smiled internally and knocked herself mentally as she remembered her vow to stay off men, she wasn’t suppose to find him handsome.

She strayed her thoughts away from Jace as she got ready for sleep for she needed rest, lots of it and she had a young boy’s birthday cake to make.

She got comfy in bed and closed her eyes in deep slumber, Jace lander’s face invading her dreams later on.

“Dude, she let me in, we even touched hands and danced.” Jace was rambling about how the night went on to Ade, they were having drinks on his porch,”Do you think it is a progress?” He asked.

“Surely it is.” Ade patted his shoulder, “If you hadn’t summoned the courage to meet and talk with her, would this have happened, I told you things would figure themselves out.”

“She was in so much pain as she related the incidents, she had been through a lot.” Jace sighed.

“You mean she told you all of it?” His bestfriend asked with raised brows.

“Yea man and I wish I could put a bullet in the fucker’s head.”

“Calm down, nah!” Ade smiled, ” We wouldn’t want her to see that side of you now, would we?”

Jace only nodded smiling at his friend. Apart from the night he overthrew his father, tonight had been one of the best nights ever, he talked to Korina, he actually held the woman of his dreams in his arms.

Sweet, he sighed, sweet.

“I don’t wanna ruin this and I don’t want anything external to ruin it.” He spoke, fear creeping his mind, “I don’t want anything to go wrong like she not wanting to speak with me when next we meet or so.”

Ade looked at his best friend and sighed, “Nothing would go wrong I assure you.” Jace only nodded in silence.

Ade wanted the best for his friend, he had seen him go through so much pain over the years and he wanted him to be happy finally, his friend deserved happiness.

He was determined to destroy anything or anyone that would hinder Jace’s way to happiness, he was ready to help his friend.

Daniella and Anne screamed as Korina gave them the brief of last night’s happenings.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“Korina.” Anne called, “Are you sure you got no crush on that dude?” She asked, still shocked that her best friend had been free with an entire strange, a male at that.

“No.” Korina shook her head, “Believe me, nope.”

“You don’t have a crush on him?” Daniella looked at her, “If you don’t? then why tell him all about your stale ass ex, still wanna rip his head off.”

Korina and Anne laughed at Daniella’s statement.

“I don’t know girls.”

“You sure are attracted, cause this is so unlike you.”

“I am not attracted to him and I have no crush on him.”

Daniella scoffed, “And you talked to him like you have been waiting for him to come hear your sob stories your whole life?”

“Oh come on, and honestly, It felt like that, exactly how you described it.” Korina agreed with her.

“Did you guys kiss?” Daniella asked, eyes thinking mischievously.

“Hell no bitch.” Korina growled at her, “The hell would we be locking lips for?”

The girls were silent for a while.

“Look.” Korina finally said after no one spoke for some time, “I don’t know what came over me, I just gave in, I danced with him, talked, rode with him, I admired him and I let him in on the dark side of my life, like it was really crazy last night.” She laughed.

“I don’t know Korina.” Anne sighed, “It’s so unlike you.”

“You sure you haven’t even met him somewhere before?” Daniella asked tapping her chin.

“Nope, I haven’t.” She sighed.

“Oh well, let’s see how it all goes.” Anne said and none of them said a word afterwards.

Mark stood mouth agape as Korina filled him in on the details of the wedding.

“Bitch, you have got to be kidding me.” He scoffed, “The Korina I know would never do that even on a life and death point.”

“Oh shut up Mark.” She frowned.

“We both know I’m saying the truth, ” He told her and she sighed, “What got into you to do something like that?”

“I don’t know and we should drop the issue already, I don’t think I will ever see him again.” She said, “I don’t even wanna.”

She knew she was only deceiving herself, a part of her wanted to see him and admire his long hair again and maybe talk with him.

“Yen yen yen yen.” Mark mimicked her, “How are you tho?”

“What do you mean?”

“Everything.”

“Oh.” She said in realisation of what he meant, “I am coping putting up, it ain’t easy.”

“You will be okay.” He placed a hand on her shoulder, “You will be okay.”

She raised her hand and placed it on his holding it firmly in place, she shook her head,”Yes I’ll be okay.”

She knew she would, she had gone through worse, she had been through hard times and heart breaks. She had been bowled and broken over but yet she survived it.

I would be okay, She chanted to herself, I would be.
