Smitten: A Mafia Romance — Chapter 59

"She doesn't want me, she freaking said it to my face." He roared and turned to his table, he picked up the item he could reach and threw the already broken laptop to the wall again.

"Sir, I need you to calm down please." The nurse standing quietly at the end of the room pleaded, her voice trembling in fear.

She didn't know if to run out of the room, she had never been this scared.

"Why always me? Why always fucking me?" He screamed and picked up a chair throwing it through the glass window, the nurse hoped it didn't land on anyone.

The office was a mess, literally almost everything was broken, she had tried to get to him to inject him with what was in her hand but she feared she would be broken too. Her boss Jace Lander could get extra violent.

"What the hell did I do wrong?" He was banging his head against the wall now and she feared he could begin to bleed. She didn't know if the text she sent to Sir Ade as she called him was delivered for her phone was also snatched and smashed to pieces.

"If Ade had let me follow my original plan, none of these would have happened right?" Jace asked punching the wall, "Right?" He turned to the nurse, glaring at her.

"I... Y... Yes, Sir." She stammered in panic, hoping his best friend would arrive soon.

Ade arrived at the moment literally flying through the doors.

"You! Bastard!" Jace screamed running towards him as he got in the office, "I will kill you."

Ade got a hold of his best friend before he could throw a punch, he tightened his hold around him and signalled to the nurse, "now." She ran towards them and stabbed him in the neck with the needle.

"I will kill you!" He mumbled before his eyes finally closed shut.

Ade stared at his best friend as his eyelids fluttered, his skin paled, lips cracked and his hands were confined to each side of the bed, he shook his head trying to force back the tears in his eyes.

"Ade!" Jace croaked finally opening his eyes, "What happened?" He asked noticing his hands were confined.

"You had another episode and trashed your office." Ade told him.

"Release me." Jace said, It was an order, Ade pushed a button by the side of the bed and Jace's hands were free. He sat up rubbing his wrists. "Water."

He was downing down a glass soon and when he was done he threw it across the room, the sound of it shattering filled the void.

"You should fucking get control of yourself."

"I am trying to for fucks sake." He growled."I shouldn't have listened to you, I Should have gone with my original plan."

"Like your plan wouldn't make matters worse." Ade scoffed.

They both fell silent.

"Why always me?" Jace asked his best friend, "I never did anything wrong, aren't I lovable."

"You didn't." His best friend held his hand, "You didn't." He said calmly.

"Do you think she would ever love me?" Jace asked and Ade could see the raw pain in his friend's eyes.

"She will." Ade stood up and held his friend's hand tighter, "She will, I promise you."

Guilt was eating Korina up as she remembered what happened at the party and her words to Jace.

"Gosh, Dammit." She groaned, "I was such a bitch,"

"Yea you were." Daniella snorted, "Such a fine young man and you shenked him."

"Shenk?" Korina looked puzzled, "You speaking English?"

"Dunno." Daniella shrugged, "Got it from Nigerian twitter."

"Gosh Daniella, I feel so stupid right now." Korina took the throw pillow and fell on the seat.

They were in a couture shop, Daniella had a dinner to attend and she was getting fitted for one of her dresses.

"Remind me why I even accompanied you here again." Korina looked at her cousin whose head was buried in a magazine.

"To tell me how good I look in the dress." Daniella raised her head and dropped the magazine. She took her glass of champagne and brought it to her lips, taking a sip. She dropped it and cleared her throat before facing Korina.

"So what do you want now?"

"I don't know." Korina sighed, "I feel like I should apologize.

"Where would you find him?" Her cousin asked, "You have no idea or information about him."

"That I have no idea."

"If you meet a third time he's your soulmate." Daniella giggled raising three fingers

"Cole and I met three times." Korina snorted and Daniella kept shut not wanting the conversation to lead to where it wasn't suppose to.

They were done and were walking out of the shop now.

"So you are helping with my preparations tonight?" Daniella asked Korina.

"Yep." Korina nodded, "Meet you at your home."

"Okay babe." They hugged and kissed each other bye. Daniella got in the taxi and waved Korina as they sped off.

Korina had decided to walk home, the evening seemed cool and she wanted to savour and feel it.

She plugged in her ear piece, her hands deep in her pant's pocket as she walked home. She bopped her head to perfect by one direction and hopped and skipped at almost every step.

She decided to stop by a park and rest for a while. And there Korina was, sitting alone on the bench feeling the cool breeze on her skin when a lovey dovey couple passed her by, they made no effort to hide that they were in love, as she watched them, her eyes welled knowing she would never experience that which she just saw.

She tore her gaze away, stood up and began walking home.
