Tears rolled down Hazel Lincoln eyes as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. Apart from the tears that stain her appearance, she looked like a princess.

The white fairy tale wedding gown fitted her

Today was her wedding day. The day that will change her life completely either for good or bad.....

Today she will get married to the man she hate so much....

The man who is known to be the most ruthless and merciless mafia leader of Los Angeles, California.....

4 weeks earlier:-

A man in rugged jeans and black hoodie’s ran as fast as he could. He toppled over a rock but balancing himself expertly, he again ran as fast as he could.

The sound of gun shots behind him made him run more faster with each step taken he neared more to his territory.

Climbing up the stair of the building on his right,  he jumped on the ceiling of the next building. He ran without stopping as the voice of gun shot didn’t stop behind him.

He climbed up the stairs of another building and as he opened the door to it roof, three men stood in front of him with their pistol aimed at his head. He raised his hands up in surrender. His face fearless. He motioned to his wrist where a Lion face was branded. The trio nod at him as they showed the same sign to him on their wrist smirking.

The Mafiosi

The sounds of footsteps made them alert and as soon as the door to roof opened they shot mercilessly, brutally and unstoppably......

It had been a pretty busy day at Richard’s Cafe, today. Hazel Lincoln was very tired. Serving Custumer non stop for 2 hours had proved to be very hectic for her. It was around 4:00 pm when finally there were only two customers settled on their respective tables.

Hazel sighed in relief as she finally sat on the receptionist seat. Today, the receptionist took off and other waiter took early leave putting all the work load on her.

She took off her heels to relax her aching feet. She was feeling better now but her moment of relaxing lived short as three young tall men entered in the cafe.

Hazel Lincoln felt goosebumps raised on the back of her neck as she stared at the men who just entered in the cafe. All the air around the men was screaming power, money, dominance and most of all danger.

Hazel Lincoln didn’t stared for long as the men settled on the table in scheduled corner away from everyone ears and eyes. Hazel grabbed her notepad as she timidly rushed to their table.

Though, she had lowered her head still she was able to make out the features of the men at table. All were young and two were blonde whereas third man brunette. She didn’t dared to look in their eyes and with low voice asked,

“Good evening Gentlemen, welcome at Richard’s cafe. What would you like to have?”

Unaware of whom she was greeting, she met their eyes only to look back down in fear.

The men were looking at her a little too seriously.

“Where’s the other waitress who takes our order usually?” Ron Steward asked in his deep intoxicating voice.

Hazel blinked several time before saying, “ Miss Tracy? Uh she took early leave today that is why I am at your service.”

“Okay! Bring 3 black coffees and beef sandwiches for us.” Ron placed order for all of them. Hazel nodded as she excused herself and walked back to the kitchen and told the barrister about the new order.

“So are we now bombing all the goods of Sarpino? How will that be benefiting for us? We will lose so much money and also will make Sarpino our enemy.” Ron Steward directed the question at his friend and boss, Ferris Kingston.

Ferris smirked as he shared a amused look with Oliver before answering his childhood friend Ron and his most trustful man.

“The Sarpino trust us with their goods to be traded to them safely. We will ask Spider gang to take the goods from us and deliver them to Sarpino. As Spider are new to this area and think of themselves as good mafia leaders they will do it to gain trust of community. Meanwhile, they are on their way, we will raid them and steal all the goods and throw the blame on their leader, Mason Salvatore,  as only, he will know the time of delivering. We will kill him before Sarpino finds find him and we will tell them that the warehouse where he had hid the goods was burned down to ashes...” Ferris Kingston completed his ideal plan leaving Ron steward flabbergasted.

“Woah and all goods remains with us? ....but what if they find out we have their goods?” Ron asked with raised eyebrows.

“Well they won’t have time for it as they will be busy demolishing whole roots of spiders and that is when we will attack the Sarpino. We will be killing two birds with one stone, my friend Ron....” Ferris Kingston said with lethal look in his eyes as his face held no emotion.

“Okay! And then what next? What about Russian? We will meeting them at Perkins hotels in next two hours?” Ron asked as looked at his boss attentively.

“Then—.”

“Your coffee sir,” Hazel Lincoln soft voice cut off Ferris Kingston sentence. He looked up at then waitress attentively for the first time and then his eyes narrowed.

This small tiny girl just interrupted him!

Though he was irritated, he didn’t said anything but stared at the girl with narrowed eyes. Hazel was looking down all the time since she came to this table with their order. Placing down their sandwiches, she felt the man on right staring at her attentively making her nervous. Gulping she placed the other two men coffee in front of them and when she was about to place the coffee down, unconsciously the cup slipped from her hand and all the hot coffee poured down on the man’s pants resulting in him standing up with loud “Fuck!”

Hazel eyes widened and she backed away instantly. Her frightened hazel brown eyes met with his angry grey eyes.

“Ohh...” the man on left said.

Ferris Kingston clenched his jaw as the hot coffee burned his thighs skin. He glared at the tiny looking waitress angrily.

“I-I...I am s-sorry Sir...” the girl said shivering in fear  as tear pricked her eyes.

“Shut the fuck up woman!” Ferris hissed as he glared  at the timid woman who was shivering badly.

“Ferris relax we can solve this matter quietly....” Oliver said looking around the cafe in which only a couple now seated.

“Get the manager here! I want this clumsy good for nothing thing fired right away!” Ferris Kingston shouted making the owner come running out of his office.

Hazel flinched as tears started to roll down her eyes at the words of the ruthless man.

“M-Mr Ki-Kingston....hello, uh what happened sir? Is there some issue?” Mr Richard asked nervously wondering how such a powerful and dangerous man is at his cafe and why is he displeased. He looked Ron steward and got his answer.

“Fire this girl right away! If you don’t want to have this place burned!” Ferris Kingston gritted staring at the girl who was crying now.

Mr. Richard looked at Hazel with worry before saying, “Hazel you are fired. You can leave.”

The girl looked at Mr. Richard with displeasure before throwing a menacing glare at Ferris Kingston. All the other three men eyes widened at her audacity whereas Ferris Kingston just narrowed his eye at the girl.

She looked at all the men again before throwing another glare at the Ferris Kingston and walking back to the kitchen.....
