章節 19: The mafia king
The warm sunrays touched the exhausted, young woman's face. She was sleeping peacefully, naked, yet wrapped with a cozy, comfortable blanket.
Her clothes scattered throughout the floor because of a guilty pleasure she got from the gorgeous man, Drake Quinn. Mirena enjoyed the rest of the night, and no words could explain what she felt at that moment.
She wanted to sleep longer. Mirena didn't want to wake up from a wonderful, wild dream as she knew, everything wouldn't be the same.
However, the sun shone too brightly and spread its burning sunlight all over the town. It was enough to wake up the princess.
"Damn, I want to sleep the entire day!" Mirena exclaimed as she wiped off the saliva from the tip of her mouth.
For a few seconds, Mirena forgot that someone slept next to her last night. But as soon as she recalled it, she quickly opened her eyes and covered her mouth.
Mirena didn't want to talk without brushing her teeth. It would be a big turn-off for thousands of men.
However, when she turned to the spot where Drake lay down, there was no trace of him anymore. Mirena realized that Drake went home early in the morning.
"What? After all, that happened between us!" She pulled her hair out of frustration.
Mirena took a deep breath and wrapped the blanket around her body. She then walked towards the bathroom and checked whether he was in there.
Unfortunately, Drake left her while she was in the middle of a beautiful dream that made her sad.
She looked up at the ceiling until the tickling sound of the clock caught her attention. Mirena sighed as soon as she saw the time.
It was quarter to nine in the morning, yet she hadn't done anything. For sure, other people woke up exactly at four in the morning before going to their workplace.
A princess who was born on a golden plate would never know about real struggles. But, like any typical woman, she has feelings and her own will.
She has the right to play with men's feelings and gave her body and soul to a stranger man.
At that moment, she was completely confused. It was too late to turn back the time and reclaim her purity from Drake.
"What have you done, Elisse? You just wasted everything in a single night!" Mirena's thoughts gave her enough reasons to overthink.
If she won't stop it right away, it would completely turn the playgirl into a hopeless heartbreaker.
Until Mirena noticed a small piece of paper on top of the side table. Without a doubt, she quickly walked closer to it and picked the paper up.
Her heart was beating fast like any moment, it would explode.
Before Mirena read the content of the letter, she sighed deeply and stopped herself from screaming. It might awaken her ghost-like neighbors.
"Good morning, sleepyhead! I'm sorry if I can't stay long with you. Something important happened and I have to deal with it as much as possible. I hope once you read it, you are smiling sweetly. Have a nice day ahead and see you around!"
Mirena blinked her eyes countless times and read it once again. Her reactions were enough to tell that Drake captured her heart.
Just like a typical teenager who recently fell in love, Mirena put the paper closer to her chest and embraced it with a wide smile on her pale lips.
"Huh, is this a sign to stop treating men like a toy? Should I stop fooling around and choose to settle down instead?" Mirena asked herself.
However, her peaceful times came to an end when Cyril suddenly called. Mirena hurriedly picked up the phone and asked her what was going on.
"We have another problem, Mirena! You have to come here right now before it's too late for all of us." Cyril said without hesitation.
By then, Mirena set aside the letter and prepared herself before facing another crisis. Her perfect life was slowly turning into an abyss.

Boxes of brand-new guns and daggers were delivered to the mafia king's hideout. It was a secret transaction that couldn't be shown in the public. It would a huge loss once they got caught by the authorities.
Luckily, it was a smooth operation. Those guns were shipped directly from the manufacturer who made such caliber products.
Not less than fifty men were gathered inside of a wide, cozy underground. Everyone was celebrating today's successful deal with bottles of wines and beers. Until the Mafia King arrived with his assistant.
Everyone looked in his way and stopped what they were doing. No one dared to ruin the king's mood, or it might bring them to their grave.
However, the man above all walked closer to the table and grabbed one bottle of wine. He chugged everything which brought fear to his men.
The mafia king suddenly stopped and looked around the place. He couldn't believe that no one didn't say a thing upon his arrival.
"Hey, what's wrong with you all of you? Do I look like a monster, huh?" He asked and sat down on the magnificent chair.
His assistant quickly followed him and cleared things out right away.
He said, "Perhaps they are still in shock after a smooth and successful operation! This is our massive deal annually and no one wanted to ruin it."
"You have a point," the king replied and decided to go to the hidden room.
There were a lot of things in his head. Even how hard he tried to celebrate; a particular thing distracted his focus.
Inside a luxurious room, he devastatingly loosened up his necktie and unbuttoned his sleeve. He then threw the black coat into the bed and sat on the edge.
He gasped and tilted his head countless times. It seemed like it was a very special moment which made it hard for him to forget it.
"Damn!" he murmured until his assistant knocked on the door.
He put the bottle on top of the side table and reached for his shoes. "Come in!"
Without any thought, his assistant asked a question that entirely caught his guard.
"What's wrong with you? Since you left with her, your mood completely changed! Tell me, did something happen between the two of you?"
The mafia king got speechless. He didn't know where to start and wondered if it was worth it to share with his assistant.
But who was the mafia king? What were his name and his hidden businesses in the country?
