Stalked by the Mafia Boss

Andre ran out of the school happily, excited to go home, he went to a corner and sat on a bench quietly waiting patiently for Korina to come pick him up.

“Hello.” He looked up at the sound of the voice, a tall blonde bearded man was before him.

“How are you?” The man asked.

“Fine sir.” Andre answered shifting uncomfortably, his mum had told him to beware of strangers and not talk to them.

Jace gazed down at his son and studied his features, he saw how he cowered from him and felt his heart break, he didn’t know how to react to that.

A lot of emotions stirred up in him, he wanted to pick up the boy and hug him close but at the same time didn’t want to do that as it would scare him more.

“What’s your name dear?” He asked.

“Andre.” Andre looked up at him, “What’s yours?” He asked frowning.

Jace almost laughed, his son tried to look fierce, “I would like to keep it a secret.” He responded sitting on the bench with him.

“Why?” Andre asked curiously, “My mum said secrets are bad and they destroy lives.”

“Really?” Jace asked, he knew exactly what Korina meant by that, “She said that?”

“Yes.” The little boy nodded, “My mum is very pretty.” He said proudly, ” she’s a very strong woman and has great hair.”

“What about your dad?” Jace asked curiously.

“I ain’t know nothing about him.” Andre shrugged, “But she says she could get me a new dad someday and he would love me and her.”

“Over my dead body.” Jace growled and stood up.

“Is anything wrong sir? Did I say something wrong sir?” Andre asked looking at him.

“Nothing is wrong boy.” Jace smiled, his mind was boiling that Korina had thought of bringing someone else that wasn’t him into their lives.

Andre looked up to ask another question but found out that the strange man was already gone. He shrugged and forgot about him quickly, sitting there quietly waiting for his mama to come take him home.

“I saw a man today mama.” Andre said while Korina tucked him into bed, he was really tall.

“Where did you meet him?” She asked alarmed, “What did I tell you about strangers?”

“You said to stay away from them.”

“So…” She gave him a disapproving look, “Why would you talk to one?”

“He came over to where I was.” He pouted, “I am sorry mama, please don’t be mad.”

“Oh, it’s okay my baby.” She said, “Did he touch you?” She asked cradling his face.

“No, mum.” He yawned.

“You should get to sleep boy.” Korina said, “We have a long day tomorrow.”

“Okay mummy.” Andre kissed her Good night and laid on the bed.

She blew him a kiss and left the room.

Korina didn’t go to sleep, she sat at the porch of her room thinking about how life had been. It’s been four years and she still loved him dearly.

They hadn’t been in contact, no one had been able to fill the void he left.

“Andre needs his father and you need him too.” Her friends had told her and she knew it was true.

She missed Jace and for the past years, she had been in misery trying to get over him but couldn’t. He still held her heart, he was still the one she loved.

She wondered what his life was like without her, had he moved on? Did he forget about her? About what they shared? Did he still love her? Her heart burned at the thought of him loving someone else.

After coming to Spain few years ago, she went to therapy and she learnt to forgive, she forgave everyone that had hurt her including Jace. It wasn’t really Jace’s fault.

She knew he was forced to do it, to kill her mother but that doesn’t hide the fact that he’s her murderer and she was pained then.

But forgiveness wasn’t by saying you forgive, it’s by seeing the person who wronged you and not feeling the same anger you felt towards the person.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

She didn’t know if she would feel the anger or anything but she knew that if Jace was to come to her asking for forgiveness and for another chance, she would give him a chance.

Korina stood up to get some rest when she heard a knock at her door.

She looked at the clock on the wall it was past 10 and Daniella who would be the only person to come at this time wasn’t around.

“Who is there?” She asked as the knocking increased, “Who is it?” She got no answer.

She went to her shelves to pick up a gun before walking towards it.

Korina swung the door open and pointed the gun at the person, “Don’t move!”

She looked at the man and her eyes widened, she assessed his features, it was Jace, the man she missed so much.

Her eyes got clouded and she did the next thing Jace never expected of her.

She jumped on him and hugged him.
