Smitten: A Mafia Romance — Chapter 65

violent scene ahead*

"Why the fuck is someone always trying to kill me?" Korina's voice was filled with rage and she was literally fuming.

"Would you bring your voice down and lessen your tone?" Daniella pleaded, "We are at the hospital."

"Why the hell should I bring it down?" She screamed, "It's either I am getting shot at or someone is trying to run me over or I am getting kidnapped or having I shock. I need a break Goddamit, I am thinking of relocating away from here to the united kingdoms, oh no! That bastard Cole is there. Asia would be better, I would relocate to India..."

Daniella rolled her eyes listening to her cousin rant and with the strength she sported, she knew Korina was strong enough to be discharged now.

"And where the fuck is that man Jace?" Korina asked.

"He is right there." Her cousin pointed to the other side of the room, Jace was sitting there with a bored look on his face, he was tired of Korina's ranting.

"You entered my kitchen without my permission and even cooked and baked." She growled at him.

"You really wanna talk about that now?" He asked, "You weren't complaining when you were gobbling down the food.

" And were you the reason I got shot at?" She asked.

Yes, I was, I am sorry, The words so desperately wanted to come out of his mouth but he didn't want to ruin things, "What the fuck Korina? The hell would you think that for?"

"Did you steal something? Did you kidnap somebody's child? You did something nasty didn't you? Huh? Jace come on, answer me now?" She probed irritatingly.

"Girl!" He growled, "You don't even know me." He cried out and Daniella just watched them both hoping not to get dragged in it.

"Yes, exactly I don't know you and I want you to stay away from me, far far far away from me like the distance from earth and pluto. You and every other man should stay away cause the next thing I know is someone grinding me in a cement mixer and..."

Daniella and Jace listened to her rant her head off without saying a thing.

"And can someone fucking get me out of here before I meet a doctor that courts me and leaves to get married to a king this time."

The man cried out as he felt the saw go through his left leg, the pain was excruciating.

"You thought I wouldn't find you huh?" Jace growled, he took the man's face in his hands, "Who the fuck sent you?"

"I ain't telling you shit." The man spat and a blow was instantly landed to his mouth, two of his teeth fell out, blood pouring out of the sides of his mouth.

"I see you want this the really hard way." He pulled out his gun and began to shoot at the man's toes, Jace counted as he shot each one, his counting gradually being drowned by the man's cry for help.

"Now, I would ask one more time, who sent you and what was your mission?" A knife came down on the man's wrist cutting it away.

"It...it...was Ru...sso..." He said gasping for breath, "Please don't hurt me anymore, I would tell you the truth."

"Okay." Jace smirked, "Speak up, scum!"

"He asked me to assassinate you and bring the girl to him, he knew that you were with her that night. He was keeping tabs on you." He explained, tears were rolling down his eyes non stop.

Jace brought out his gun and aimed at the man's head.

"No...please...don't..." He cried for mercy, Jace stared at him for a long time before pulling the trigger shooting him right on his forehead.

"Cut his head off and wrap it up nicely for me." He instructed his men while pulling off his gloves, "I think Russo would love a very very early pre-chrismas gift."

"What exactly happened?" Anne and Daniella asked Korina as she ate her peas. She had been discharged and they were in her apartment now.

"One moment we were having dinner, the next moment, he was pushing me down on the floor, I heard a gunshot and boom I saw black."

"Oh wow." Both girls remarked astonished at her statement.

"Now to what I actually wanted to know." Daniella said, "What led to him spending the night time at your apartment?"

Korina rolled her eyes at her cousin and began relating what happened.

"He cooked and like real good?" Anne asked.

"Yep, he did."

"Wow." She said, "Majority of men can't do that."

"I know right, I was surprised myself and his expertise was amazing."

"So, who do you think did that?" Daniella asked.

"Did what?"

"Tried to shoot you."

"I don't know." Korina sighed, "But I do know the next time it happens and I end up alive, I am moving out of this continent."

Jace stood at the door and knocked, he was going to wait patiently for her to come open the door and shut it in his face and that would be the fourth time.

The door opened again and Korina was there glaring more than death glares at him now.

"Mr man." She growled, "What the fuck do you want? What part of no you can't come in don't you get or should I say it in gun language?"

"Korina, please can we talk?" He pleaded again using the same words he had used the previous times.

"No, we can't talk."

"Okay, can I come in then?"

"No, for fucks sake, you can't come in Jace." She growled, "You really are thick headed."

"Please?"

"Nope."

"Pretty please."

"No!"

"Please with cherries on top." He grinned annoyingly.

"What the hell do you want Jace?" She felt like scracthing his face.

"I want to date you Korina."

"What?! " She got alarmed by his forwardness, "Hell no!" She grabbed the flowers in his hands and threw them at him.

"Why wouldn't you date me?" Jace asked calmly.

"Me not wanting to is enough reason in the first place."

"No it's not Korina." He told her, "That's a very invalid reason."

"Says who?" She scoffed.

"Date me." He demanded ignoring her question.

"Nope."

"I swear I will keep on pestering you till you agree."

"Fine!" She yelled, "You are only gonna get tired man, bring it on!"
