Mafia's Obsession: A fierce tale of hatred and love...

by Mahita Varma

  "Oh! Well it might be great to be in love." I said smiling, slowly turning to his side.

  "Yeah maybe"

  "How I want to fall in love now."

  "Even me" He replied turning to me and kissed on my lips.

  It was as magical as it was before, the first time I kissed Alan, but it didn't feel right. I didn't react at first but later I gave in. I enjoyed the man in front of me, until dam's thought struck my mind giving me a feel of betrayal.

  So, I pushed him. Woke up and just walked out of the room without turning back. I went straight into the kitchen, opening the refrigerator I took the pastries I brought from Amy.

  "I am sorry Sasha. I got carried away." He told me coming down.

  I didn't react nor look at him, I ate the pastry.

  "Sasha sorry"

  "Okay."

  "What do you mean by okay?"

  "Means let it go."

  "Don't you think you have changed? I mean, why are you being rude to me? What did I do to get this?" He asked exasperated.

  He was right. What is wrong with me? He didn't do anything he was always sweet and supportive. It is for him I want to find Lily's murderer and what am I doing to him, giving him attitude.

  "Sorry Alan. I don't know what's wrong it's just that am confused."

  "About?"

  "Lily."

  "Stop thinking about her Sasha, she is gone. I don't want past to spoil the present and future." He said coming closer and placing his hands on either side of my face.

  I nodded not able to see him sad. But I will find Lily's killer. I have promised her soul and will see to it that she rests in peace.

  "What are you thinking?"

  "Nothing, shall we watch a movie?" I asked.

  "Which?"

  "Anything you like."

  "Horror"

  "Supernatural horror"

  "Of course" He said, to which I jumped with excitement.

  Well supernatural is my favourite. So he made chocolate cupcakes for us and we sat on the couch watching, let me in. Seeing the movie we fell asleep.

  The sun beam fell on my eyes, waking me up from my peace. I opened my eyes, to find the annoying rays hitting me like a ton.

  Then I realized sleeping on Alan, who was still deep slumber. I kept watching him sleep, he looked magnificently handsome, the man who seemed to walk right from the Greek god family. Seeing him brought memories of Lily, so I thought why not search for her in Alan's room. Maybe I will find something that will help me to reach my goal.

  I stood up slowly, not wanting to wake him up I walked to the room and searched every single thing to find details of her but failed. Then unhappy I walked to the door and as I came out, I realized I missed searching the gold jewel box in the right corner of the room.

  I went to the box, trying to open. But couldn't as it was locked. Where could the key be? I thought a lot, but then heard sounds realizing that Alan woke up, I closed the door and went back to my room.

  I can’t let Alan know. He wouldn't like it, and also I promised him I won’t find her. I kept walking from this end to that end in my room, thinking about the possibilities the key could be in. I heard footsteps outside my room and a sudden knock on my door.

  "Good morning beautiful."

  "Good morning Alan."

  "Why are you walking like that? What happened is everything okay?"

  "Yeah it is. Ac.." Before I finished the sentence, I saw the person I hate the most beside Alan.

  "What is she doing here?"

  Chapter 29- Black dots to darkness

  Hatred is another synonym for jealousy. This is the strongest feeling any living being can portray. It breaks the person into pieces which become difficult to join later. It is the cause for one's destruction.

  But this is the major feeling I have for the person in front of me. If not for Alan, I would have killed this girl. I can't stand her for a minute. Whenever I see her I feel very negative, she brings out the bad in me.

  "Hi Sasha, how are you?" She asked, smiling at me as sweetly as she could.

  "Fine till now, but can’t tell the same." I replied clenching my teeth, and looking straight into her eyes to convey my hatred for her.

  She took a step back hearing me, but came back to her old self. Soon she averted her gaze to the bed, not able to see me, but before she did she gave me a twisted smile that made me burn with fury.

  "Why not have breakfast, together?" asked Alan, sensing the tension between us.

  "I prefer eating here than with strangers." I spat looking at her.

  "Sasha what is wrong with you?"

  "Oh! It's nothing Alan, standing half naked in my fiancée’s room is not a problem at all, nothing at all, right?" I bit, moving my hands in the air.

  "Sasha, see it's not.." Before she finished the sentence, I yelled.

  "Enough, Simona, before I catch your throat and push you out of my room, Get out don’t dare to come back here." I yelled stepping before her.

  She went away holding back her tears, to which Alan gave me a stern look and ran behind her calling out her name, for asking her to stop.

  After a few minutes, eventually my anger came to a rest then, I felt bad for her. I have never ever in my life been so rude to anyone, then why did I do this to her?

  But the sudden thought of her in Dam's room, brought tears and anger. I couldn't bear her with him, not just her but anyone close to Dam would make me furious.

  "What the hell is wrong with you Sasha? Have you gone nuts?" yelled Alan. Making an entry by, bashing the door.

  "Don't you dare talk to me like that Alan it is she who is wrong, not me. Because of her I fought with Dam, it's because of her I was forced by Dam. It's because of her I ran from my wedding it’s because of her I am here. And you expect me to talk to her nicely?" I shouted.

  He looked as if I was mad his eyes were filled with anger. He stepped before me, and spoke,

  "So you think it's a mistake to come here and stay with me?" He gritted.

  "What did you think, Alan? I am happy away from my family?" I asked.

  "Well! Sorry to say, but am too happy to have you here." He said slowly coming before me.

  I took a step back, keenly looking into his eyes. Not understanding whether he was saying to prank me, or did he mean it. I slowly walked to sit on the bed, with my hands cupping my face.

  "I don't know Alan, but am currently blank. I want to go back, to my family, to my friends and to D-Dam." I said the last part, low.

  He barged, out of the room, closing it hard behind me. I thought that it's high time I told Alan, how I felt about the man who forced me into marriage.

  I don't know how, but I fell in love with Dam and I realized it just now. As soon as I saw Simona, I understood how my heart yearned for Dam his over possessiveness and his feather-light touch which was never light, by the way.

  Okay, but still I missed him. The visions of him and me came countless times which wanted me to go running to him, arms wide. So I did something that I wanted to from these many days but couldn't. Today even my ego wouldn't dare to stop me.

  I picked my phone from the table across the room and dialled his number. He didn't lift until a long ring, disappointed I was about to cut the call, then I heard,

  "Hello." I heard him say.

  Hearing his husky voice, I wasn't able to speak a single word. I kept breathing heavily, but didn't dare to reply.

  "Love, how are you?" He asked, and tears came scrolling down.

  "Dam, how do you know it's me?" I asked, aware that I changed my phone and number.

  "I can sense you love." He replied, and as a result I cried profusely.

  "Dam, I am sorry."

  "Where are you? Is Alan with you?"

  "I.." Before I could finish the sentence I heard the door open.

  "Sasha, whom are you talking to?" asked Simona, raising an eyebrow.

  This girl has such guts to enter my room and question me, after all that happened. She went c
rying like a baby, few hours back and now she is questioning me like nothing has happened.

  "What the hell are you doing here? What did I tell you? To never step your filthy feet here, isn't it? This is my house slut, out now." I yelled on her face.

  She came to me, snatching my phone and threw it to the ground breaking it into million pieces.

  "What is wrong with you fucker?" I raised my hand to hit her, but she caught my hand and pushed me to the ground.

  I felt dizzy and was not able to stand, soon darkness over took me and before I fell asleep I heard her sarcastic laugh.

  Chapter 30- Devil is back

  Third person P.O.V:

  "Is she still sleeping?" I asked.

  "Yes. Why don't we kill her? She shits me out, stupid girl." Spat Simona.

  "Dare you speak against her and I will slit your throat. Stay in your limits." I yelled, gripping her throat hard.

  "Am sorry, please let me be." She stammered.

  "Go and check her, you filth." I replied leaving her.

  Sasha West’s P.O.V:

  I woke up to find myself tied on a chair. My eyes hurt a lot due to the sudden light hitting me. I tried moving, but the rope on my hands and legs didn't let me.

  I twirled and turned, trying to get released from these, but failed miserably. I heard footsteps, which meant someone was coming, so I acted to still be in sleep.

  "Woke up, slut?" I heard Simona yell.

  If I wasn't in the position am in now, I would have surely killed this female. But I was helpless. I didn't open my eyes if I did, I would kill her.

  This girl didn't have enough guts. It was impossible for this girl to kidnap me. Definitely there was someone who would have helped her, but who?

  Does, Damon or Alan know, am kidnapped? Is anyone searching for me? When Simona came into my room, I was talking to Dam, so he must know the whole thing. I hope he finds me.

  "Hey asshole, wake up. I can't touch you otherwise I would have hit you bad until you woke, but am in no mood to die so you are still sleeping, c’mon yeah girl WAKE UP." She yelled, but I didn't move a fibre in my body.

  She heard two knocks on the door and she left cursing something that was inaudible.

  I opened my eyes, wanted to find a way to get out of this place. But it wasn't that easy, the ropes were tight. I kept trying and I finally succeeded in freeing my arms. Then quickly I untied my legs and ran to the door, to find it half open.

  I ran out trying to make the least sound as possible. I wanted to go to the mansion, but it was impossible as I didn't know the route, so I thought of informing to Alan at least by going to the farmhouse.

  I stood on the road, searching to find which place I was in and the route from there to the farmhouse. Found the route by asking people seen on the roads, I ran and finally reached my destination.

  I went inside hoping to find the person I wanted to meet. The door was locked to my dismay. I didn't have my phone to contact neither of them.

  So I sat at the entrance thinking about many ways to contact Dam or Alan. But soon I became tired and fell asleep. Not that deep but half awake, so I could hear something move near the bushes.

  I woke up startled and hid behind the tree, to check who that person was. He wore some hoodie, so seeing his identity became impossible.

  I thought of following him, but before I could I saw Simona coming to him. So I stood hidden. They both kept talking something and I shifted to a nearby tree to hear them.

  "..could you? She ran, and you filth didn't even realize. If she isn't found then you are dead. I promise you that." He said dangerously walking towards her, and she coward away from him.

  "It's not like that sir. I will find her, won't let you down."

  "You better not." He said looking this side. I stood silently praying not to be seen.

  He didn't. He walked away and Simona ran behind him, and if I wasn't wrong she was crying, seems like this man is very powerful. Alan, where the hell are you man? I yelled once and you left me just like that, so angry that you didn't care to look back.

  I sat down, wishing for someone to come and take me away from this misery. Hoping I closed my eyes to complete my sleep.

  I was moving, and it made me dizzy. So I crawled more into the solid closer to me, clenching it tightly. But sudden noise brought me back to the reality.

  "What is that sound?" I asked fazed.

  "Good morning Love. Even though it’s not morning, and yeah it’s the horn." He replied giving me his charming smile.

  I looked shocked seeing him.

  "Dam, am I dreaming?"

  "You aren't sweetheart." Saying he punched me.

  "OUCH! What is wrong with you?"

  "Proof of not dreaming." said he chuckling.

  I laughed hysterically. Few minutes later it converted to tears. They kept scrolling down, without a halt.

  "Love, I am here, no one will dare to touch you quiet." He hugged.

  "D...Dam, a....s...i...di...m..to." I said through tears.

  "Am sorry Love, I might be mafia but am not an alien to understand their language." He replied with an innocent look.

  "I meant, am sorry to ditch you at the wedding." Giggling, I said becoming sad at the other second.

  "Don't dwell into the past, you are here with me and that's what matters. But yeah I actually felt happy to get my single status back, which I am not now." He said acting sad, to which I punched his arm.

  "Dam, how are Rob, Mary, Ken and Peter?" I asked the last name, with fear.

  "All are fine. Waiting to hug you and welcome you with arms wide open. Don't worry dad won’t eat you alive, not with mom at his neck." He mocked.

  I smiled then suddenly Alan came into my mind.

  "Dam, Shit! Alan. I don't know where is he? He was angry with me and left the place if he came back he wouldn't find me. He will be worried." I said panicked.

  "Love, Will find him, don't worry." He said gritting his teeth.

  "Dam, please Alan only did this to help me. Don't do anything to him. I beg you."

  "You don't have plead or beg me for anything, Love. This reunion is different for us both and about Alan, will discuss that later. Sleep till we reach the mansion." He smiled.

  "But Alan.."

  "Love, you need rest."

  "No Dam, promise me you won't harm Alan."

  "Still stubborn, not changed a bit? I won't. Now will you?" Asked he looking at me, and back to the steering.

  Nodding and smiling, I gave a peck on his cheeks, and turned to sleep. But my peck made him still with uneven breaths. My smile grew wider to his reaction, which made me sleep with relaxation.

  Chapter 31- Confession

  Fairy tale romance, where the heroine in misery tackles all the problems being nice and sweet until the rich and influential hero comes to her rescue, carrying her in his arms and pulls her out of all her hurdles.

  Ignoring all the first lines, I wanted a rich hero to come on a white horse and sweep me off my feet. When I got snatched away from my family, I cursed my fate for not fulfilling my dreams.

  But today I am the most happiest person in this whole world, coming in a Range Rover my king pulled me out of my problems, even though he is the cause for those, I ignored. Finally my knight in shining armour is beside me driving me to our home.

  "Woke up Love?" He asked adored.

  "Never slept" I said in deep thoughts.

  "What are you thinking about?" He asked looking at me intently.

  "How I fell in love with you?" I thought.

  "Love, what is wrong with me? Am I not handsome and rich, probably every girl's dream" He said waving his hands in the air.

  "No girls like murderers or smugglers." I replied looking outside the window.

  "Love"

  "Why Dam, killing is so important to you? Innocents are killed only because they owe you their life, but why? You are not the God, a human that should follow some humanity." I mentioned furrowing my eyebrows.

  "We
reached Love and I am in no mood to fight or argue. So let's go in now." He commented, kissing me on my cheek and getting out of the car to escort me inside.

  It felt so good reminiscing old memories, Mary, Ken and my Robsy. All the fights, sweet and harsh talks and those fateful nights with Dam, everything came rushing back that bought a small smile on my face.

  "Welcome the Queen. Hail O' Queen." shouted all in unison, throwing flower petals on me.

  I giggled seeing them. Soon rushed to hug Mary, she looked weaker and pale, that brought tears to my eyes.

  "What's wrong sweetheart? Why are you crying?" asked Mary, cupping my face.

  "You look pale and I can't see you like this." I said crying profusely.

  "You wouldn't, if you didn't run away with Alan." said Peter, gritting his teeth.

  "Shut up Peter. It's nothing like that sweetheart; I was just worried about you. Now you are here, I will spring back to health. But only if you promise to never leave my side." She said, wiping my tears.

  "Promise, I am really sorry. I love you so much Mary." I declared, hugging her tight.

  "I love you too, darling." She giggled.

  I then turned to Peter, who was standing beside his wife. Giving him a smile that didn't reach my eyes, I said,

  "Sorry."

  "You better be, girl." He replied, and I could see clear hatred in his eyes for me, which brought fear that made my knees go weak.

  Dam caught me, becoming my support. I gave him a nod followed by a smile, and walked towards Ken.

  "Hi Ken. I missed you and our fun together." I said hugging him.

  "I missed you more Sash." He said hugging me back, and kissing me on my cheek, to which we heard a growl from behind.

  "Someone's jealous?" Ken chuckled.

  I then moved from Ken to his brother, not able to look into his eyes, I stood there keeping my head low.

  "Welcome home, Sassy."

  "Ro.." Before I could complete the sentence he pulled me into a hug, and I clutched him harder as if leaving would make him disappear.

  We cried standing there in that position. After few strange and sorrowful moments we loosened our grips on each other, and then Rob kissed me on my forehead, like he does always. To which we heard a growl once again.
