The Mafia Kings Want their Woman Back

Alicia:“Daya, not this! I can’t go out with you this time,” I tried to decline her invitation, or rather, pressure to spend another night clubbing. To my luck it was a weekend. But it didn’t change the fact that I wasn’t interested.“Oh, don’t complain about it! I thought you would have gotten a taste for it,” Daya’s golden blonde hair bounced as she curled her strands expertly with the curling iron. “Besides, I’m broken-hearted, Alicia. Jimmy broke up with me yesterday and you didn’t even try to comfort me. Don’t be so horrible to your friend. Aren’t we friends?”‘Against my better judgement,’ I wanted to respond, but chose to only nod. To be fair, though, Jimmy likely found out he wasn’t the only one she was dating and reacted badly to the ‘surprising’ revelation.“By the way I got you another dress. It’s more your style. You know, matronly,” she cast an eye at my work attire which I was still wearing: black pants and a basic blue button down.“Thanks,” I didn’t mean to let the sar

AliciaThe whole way to work, I trembled, but managed to keep a straight face. My vacant state thankfully hidden behind my glasses, and my typical ‘mousy’ look on, I pushed forward and looked forward to the time I could enter my office and lay my head in the desk. Just for a few seconds before work started. That would be some goddamned reprieve from all the turbulent emotions I felt.Unfortunately it wasn’t to be so, for as soon as I sat behind my desk, the door suddenly flung open, and a telltale scent of designer perfume filled the air.“Alicia, guess what!” Daya was grinning from ear to ear. “I know you went home early last night , so you must have missed it. But something exciting happened!” She squealed, and planted her butt on the edge of my desk.I cast a short glance at the papers she had disturbed out of the pile on my desk, and took in a deep breath so I wouldn’t scream at her.Patience, Alicia, I told myself.“Im sure it must be exciting for you, Daya,” I replied in a kind

Alicia:My breaths came out shallowly and echoed in the empty metal cell. I had already begun to smell a staleness in the air and it made me feel so dirty.No one had come, and I didn’t even know whether it had been a day or a couple of hours. Time was hard to tell when one couldn’t see the sun after all.“Why is this happening to me?” I murmured to myself, curled up in a fetal position. I laid my head against the wall next to the door, praying for someone, anyone to come.At some point I thought I might have heard footsteps, but I wasn’t sure.Suddenly I heard a loud sound of metal creaking and it made me jolt to a standing position, wide eyed at the door where I could have sworn the sound came from.What was going on?My hope surged once more as i realized it must be someone.“Help,” my voice was hoarse as my throat was dry. “Please…”As soon as I had said that the door swung open and I winced at the sound of the creaking door. I noticed it was a burly man that walked in, looking in

Acker's POV:She was quiet. Too quiet, for my liking.I removed my eyes from the phone where I was exchanging messages with Mikael, who was in the car behind mine, and Javier, my right hand man.She was staring out the window, through the tinted black glass to the landscape outside. I doubted she had been out of the city before, so this must be unfamiliar to her. Her hair was disheveled and her face seemingly impassive, but I knew it to be a mask.I also noticed how tense she was, by the way her hands were clasped together and trembling. It was obvious she still had a lot of anxiety over what she had just been through. Deep down, I longed to pull my gun on that bastard and fill his body with bullet holes.That thought made my fingers twitch. I had never desired to protect a girl like her before. I have had many lovers, and none of them ever meant anything to me. Alicia… she was different, and not just because she was the daughter of a senator. I could tell that unlike the experienced,

Alicia’s POVBefore anything else could happen, there was the distinct sound of a vibrating phone.Acker immediately tensed and raised a hand to stop me from speaking and I found I couldn’t disobey. He brought out his phone from his pocket and answered the incoming call.“Javier” his tone was terse and I wondered what was being said on the other end as his expression morphed from stoic to pleased. “Good. Let him through.”My brows furrowed as he exchanged a wordless glance with Mikael. The two men seemed to be having a conversation without having to say anything, and Mikael’s expression also looked pleased.“Well,” Mikael’s spoke as Acker ended the call. “You have a visitor, tesoro.”“A visitor?” I couldn’t help the disbelief in my voice. Who would want to see me? And how could I trust that it was someone that wasn’t dangerous.“You need to trust us a little more,” Acker said and I got the distinct feeling that my mind had been read. “We are the reason you’re still here and not halfw
