Entangled With The Mafia Lord

On getting back to our car, Aria unlocked it with a button and we all slid into it and locked it back. My left hand wound was bleeding heavily now, the suit jacket and undershirt feeling sticky with a lot of blood, now my right knuckle was bloodied due to the punch I gave the man who was coughing out blood.

Digging out my phone from my pocket, I dialed Tristan’s number and prayed to God that those guys were indeed bluffing and that they didn’t get to my sister like they claimed to. The phone rang three good time before a panting Tristan answered his phone.

“Where the fuck were you since? Where are you guys? Are you all safe? Where’s Nicole?” I demanded immediately.

“Whoa, whoa, calm down. We’re all safe and Nicole is perfectly fine. Well not perfectly fine since she got shot yesterday, but she isn’t sleeping anymore, she’s watching some Tv in the movie room of the safe house. We arrived here some minutes ago.”

“Thank God, fuck.” I gushed out, relief pumping into my blood in folds, I don’t know what I’d do if some stupid dumb fucks get their filthy hands on my sister.

“Why? Something happened?” Tristan inquired before saying in the background, “No Daven, no video games for now, Auden’s gonna be mad at you.”

I didn’t catch what Daven said back in return before Tristan came back to me, “Yeah? What happened?”

“We got followed from the office by two different cars that looked so much like mine, I shot their tires and thought we were gonna move on from there but they shot mine in return which made Lucas and I go meet them with our own guns. I’ll tell you the rest at home, just that we’re stranded in the middle of a random street and the police could be here any second. Can you send Daven to come pick us up with a car?”

“Oh damn. This is just early noon and all these things has gone down already? Now I’m just scared of what tonight’s gonna bring along with it,” Tristan murmured into the phone.

“Don’t think about that yet, we’d take whatever comes our way tonight, together. For now, the car.” I reminded him gently, glancing sharply beside me, my heart skipped a beat, then two the moment I saw my bruised and blood stained knuckle in Aria’s hands. She trailed her fingers lightly over the knuckles and the touch was soothing more than it should.

“Alright, car, Daven, got it.” He called out to Daven I told him something I didn’t catch since my whole focus was on the light touches of Aria’s fingers.

“Auden? You there?” Tristan asked.

“I am,” I replied slowly, my head resting against the headrest of the seat.

“Daven said you should share your current location with me, so he’d come meet you wherever you are.” Tristan rephrased.

“Alright, I’d do so right now.” I replied before ending the call and pulling my hand away from Aria’s light grip. Sharing my location with Tristan’s phone, I deposited my phone on the space beside me and placed my hand back on Aria’s thighs. A small smile tugged my lips when her warm hands surrounded my hands, followed by the soothing, light strokes.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

In no time, Daven pulled up a few feet before us and I reluctantly pulled my fingers which felt tingly due to the strokes and pushed open the door and stepped out of the car.

“Whoa,” Daven started after taking a good look at me before continuing, “You look like crap, boss. Damn, what happened to you?”

I glared at him before replying, “Shut up, Daven. Now go start the car, we’d be in there in a few minutes.”

Pulling open my side of the door, I gestured for aria to step out while I picked up my phone and two of the unused guns which I gave Aria before. Lucas came down last and shut the door behind him and locking it with the keys, the moment I slid into the back seat with Aria beside me while Lucas took the passenger’s seat, Daven turned around in his seat until he was staring at Aria, then at me and at Aria again.

“Whoa. Who is she, boss? She’s one of the bad guys? Are we getting rid of her? Oh well, she’s really pretty though, and…” Daven continued to say but I cut him off and winced when Aria gripped my right hand in fright, her nails digging into my bruises in her agitated state.

“Shut up and drive, Daven. And we’re not getting rid of her, she’s part of us now.”

“Ouuhhhh,” Daven cooed as he started the car and zoomed off in the direction of the safe house. After a few minutes of silence with Aria’s grip no longer tight but back to stroking my fingers lightly, Daven broke the silence with a question.

“Does she work for you, boss?”

“Yeap. My secretary.” I grunted out a reply.

“She’s pretty,” He said to me before taking his eyes off the road to glance at Aria and continued, “Hey there, you’re really pretty. I’m Daven.”

“The fuck, Daven? Watch the fucking road and flirt later, fool.” I paused. “Don’t flirt later too, just watch the road and shut up.”

“Whoa, um alright, noted.” He replied. After a few minutes, he suddenly said,

“Crap, boss, can you call Esther and tell her to hack into the camera recorder located around where you shot those guys and ask her to erase the footage? The cops could get their hands on it anytime soon.”

“Shit, I totally forgot. As much as Daven is an annoying clown most of the time, he’s very sensible as well. Digging my phone out of my pocket with my right hand which was once in Aria’s grip, I dialed Tristan’s number and relayed the message to him.

Lucas and Daven started to argue about something but I turned them out as I returned my right hand into Aria’s light grip and allowed my head to drop behind me on the headrest in tiredness.

Gosh, this is such a long day and the time isn’t even up to 02:00pm yet.
