Smitten: A Mafia Romance — Chapter 45

"Calm down Darius." Korina heard a voice bark, it sounded like a black man's voice but definitely not a black American accent she couldn't quite guess it, "Fucking calm down." The man barked again.

"Why should I calm down?" The other man screamed back, she guessed he was the Darius.

Korina was blindfolded, she couldn't see anything, she could only feel and the voices sounded so far off, her hands were bound behind her and she knew what she was on by feeling around with her fingers. She was on a bed, a very soft one.

"The hell should I calm down for? Uhn? You see what this dimwits fucking did."

Korina listened and for the first time she felt very attracted to a voice.

She thought it was the harshest yet sexiest and calmest voice she'd ever heard, damn!

You have a boyfriend slut, her subconscious invaded her thoughts when she began to wonder what he would sound like moaning, she shook her head riding the thoughts and strained her ears more to get the conversation.

"Look man, they made a mistake, a very stupid one." She heard the black man say, "We just have to think this straight and know what to do."

"You!" Darius said and she deciphered he was talking to another person now, "What did I fucking ask you to do?"

"You said to keep an eye on her and to make sure she was safe." She heard the other person say, he was obviously scared, his voice trembling.

"And why the fuck did you do the opposite?" Korina heard Darius scream and she concluded he obviously had anger issues.

"Boss you said to keep her safe, she looked lonely there and sad. So, we decided to bring her over here, of course this place is safer and very uhhmm...safer." She heard the man explain and she got angry, now she understood why the boss Darius was so livid, this man was way too dumb.

After the man spoke, She heard nothing, what happened? She thought, and I think I am way too calm for a person kidnapped, blindfolded and tied up.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard the dumb man scream, a very loud scream, a girly scream. She tried rolling her eyes and scoffed, she had forgotten she was blindfolded.

"Darius man, fucking put that gun down!" The black man with the accent Screamed.

"Hell no!" Darius matched the tone of his voice, "Stay out of this." She was sure she heard the cocking of a pistol.

"Damn you! Put it away." He said again, his tone was a bit less harsh now, more like he was pleading.

"I am the boss here and the boss of you, don't order me around."

"Get a hold of yourself Darius."

"I should rid bullets his fucking brain, that's if he has one. He's so plain stupid." She heard a shot and jerked in fear, is someone dead?

"Please Boss." She heard the man plead, "Please, spare me."

Phew, no one is dead, She took deep breaths.

"Darius." The black man growled, his tone harsh again, "Put it away or I swear, amma call mum."

Mum, Korina chuckled, they are so immature.

"Hell no, you won't, why you gotta involve her in this?"

"Put the fucking gun away or I am calling her I swear."

She heard him mumbled some incoherent words.

Hmm, Darius, thinking of it what a sexy name, She smirked.

Hoe, Her subconscious snarled.

"Boss, I am so sorry." The dumb man began to plead, "I thought I would be doing you a favour, seeing that you were always stalking her. I thought to bring your queen home."

"Get out!" She heard Darius scream.

"Sir?"

"Get out! Before I lose my fucking temper."

Korina wondered what it would be like if he actually lost his temper since with his present attitude, he hasn't lost it yet.

So Darius is the name of my stalker, She wondered and then it hit her that she was in her stalkers abode and he was a psycho and she had to scream now like an actual kidnapped person, she had to scream.

"What are you going to do now man?" She was about to scream when she heard the black man ask, "What are you going to do about her?" She was terrified, are they gonna cut me in pieces.

"I don't know." He sighed, "Now that she's here, I don't wanna let her go, ever."

"Why?"

"Cause she's mine." He growled.

Hey mister, I am nobody's you don't own me, asshole, She swore under her breath.

"Dude, that's definitely not gonna work, you have got to stick to the original plan, that's way better and safer. You don't want no loopholes or tragedy, it's gonna be okay, trust me..."

She strained her ears to hear more of the conversation but she couldn't get a thing. Their voices seemed to fade as if they were walking away. She huffed in exasperation and focused on trying to untie herself.

Okay Korina, you can do this, this is gonna be easy, just like in movies, 1...2...3...go, She moved and wiggled her hands, nothing loosed, the ropes were bound too tight. She wiggled and rolled, but nothing came off. She took a deep breath and then she did what any reasonable abducted person would do. Korina let out a very piercing scream.

Korina woke up the next morning on a bed, her bed. She sat up in haste and looked around her apartment.

Phew, She sighed, it was just a dream.

She rubbed her wrists and since in pain, looking down she saw bruises around her wrists.

It wasn't a dream after all, she had been with her stalker, in his home, she heard his wonderful sexy voice, he had been the one to carry her to the car while he muttered sweet nothings in her ears as she slipped into unconsciousness, they had pressed a handkerchief to her nose to knock her out.

She noticed she was still in her clothes of the previous day. She moved to stand up from the bed when she saw a note on it, the words again written in familiar cursive writings.

"I am sorry, it really pains me that I have to let you go. Sorry for the times I ever caused you pain, sorry for the times I invaded in your life and privacy, you are free now my love. Free from me, free."

Korina read the note over and over again and leapt in joy. Finally, She thought, I hope he is serious.

So this is it, no more gifts, no more letter, no more texts, no more stalking, She stood on her bed, spun in circles, jumped and screamed.

"Yahooooo!"She exclaimed beaming brightly.

" I am free! I am free." She sang as she walked to the kitchen to make herself a cup of coffee and toast.

After her light breakfast, she looked for her phone and decided to go on a conference call with her bestfriends after charging it for sometime.

It took quite a while for it to charge a bit.

She took the phone and dialed them.

Anne and Daniella picked after their phones rung for sometime.

"Girls!" Korina screamed excitedly before they even got a chance to say anything, "Guess what?"
