Chosen By The Mafia by Nina Daniel (best reads of all time TXT) 📕

She lifted her head and contacted my eyes, “I’m at your service, malady” her voice was low and submissive which was no doubt a discomfit to me, she voiced it like I was her first lady,

“Come sit with me,” I motioned her to the bed, she first had second thoughts but I requested her to feel free with me and that’s when she sat beside me, I made sure her comfort then mouthed a sentence

“So, what’s your name?” I asked her,

“It’s Nancy, malady,”

“And you can also call me Lana,” I also revealed her my name, she grinned while my heart blushed in solace,

“So tell me about yourself, Nancy,” I questioned again,

“There’s not much to know about me, ma-Lana,”

“I’m sure there must be,”

“I’m just a normal girl working to feed my family,” the comment told me enough of her pain, I know how it feels to be born in a poor household,

I put my hand on her shoulder, “it will pass soon,” I passed her a promising smile and her eyes filled with water, she signed a thank you from her lips,

and finally, I decided to ask what was bothering me,

“Nancy, I was curious about one thing,” I said and she shifted her attention all to me, “everyone calls me malady which I don’t understand why… I was kidnapped and tried to run away many times but they don’t let me go but at the same time; treating me like I’m something precious to this gang, why am I here?” I questioned her detailedly,

she smiled at me 

“Lana, you’re the one who has taken our master’s heart away, he never spared a life before you and look, you’re alive; because he wants you to. He does.” Her fingers tangled with mine and she continued,

“I know a person like him is hard to love, I also know he sometimes becomes rasher with you but that’s because he has lived all his life in blood and torture. What he does is inhuman but there’s a hope to change him which is you… Give him a chance, maybe you can heal his unexpressed wounds.”

she chuckled, “It may sound funny but you can save us all from his rage. Please be our savior *grins* We all believe he needs to be loved only, and that’s you who he chose to change him which was never in his existence discovered by anyone.” Her words carried deep affection and desire. It sounded like he loves me but his actions are repelling her words,

I felt like struggling on a thin rope with no way out, both of its corners are on fire, and neither I could jump nor I could stay. I’m stuck in a dilemma and both of my options were death. What I have to choose is which one is less in pain.

“No.. He doesn’t… love me, he is just pretending.. He’s only playing…” I mumbled while my eyes stoned to the marble floor

“You’re wrong,” she debated and I shook my head, “he loves you dearly, Lana, we all have seen it. The way he sees you; this look was new to his face, he never cared about anyone but he desires to keep you close.”

“But he punished me!” I cried out, “he stabbed my heart and took my soul! He did wrong! He *sobs* is *sobs* a *hiccupped* sadist” the last word I uttered had all my agony. My tiny hands covered all my swollen face, I sobbed with all I had, Nancy’s embrace covered my petite form and her hand rubbed my back but it wasn’t helping me even a bit.

*Clears Throat*

A manly vocal left a sound and we both equally jerked back to our previous positions.

“Malady, I pardon to disturb you at this hour,” he uttered in his heavy-voice

“No problem, sir,” this giant man deserved respect,

“Please ma’am, follow me, this is urgent,” he appealed,

I didn’t waste a time following him, my bosom got filled with worrisome and anxiety took over my skin, I was a mess of cold sweats and shivers. Something serious must have happened that he tensely sued me to follow him. We were passing by some huge corridors,

Lights were very dim in here and to add up more funk; thunders joined the party too, it was raining heavily now,

My weak heart was trembling in fear by the sudden heavy vibes my surroundings had picked up, the guard was leading the way in the dark and I was following him until now; he stopped in front of a door.

I played a hard focus game with my orbs and saw him bending a little and cueing me to get in.

“Won’t you come inside?” I hiddenly invited him to come with me,

“No Ma’m, you may get in,” he replied in a monotone

It was so easy for him to tell me to get in but how could I dare to make a bold step when I don’t know what’s waiting for me inside, my both sides were asking me not to take risks but this giant kind of a man was giving me the please look in this dark night,

I somehow tossed my luck and moved towards the entrance. Opening the door wasn’t as easy as it seems but I again decided to hope good and there, the door opened with a slight crack,

I stepped my feet inside.

And due to my poor luck like always, I again jumped in the mouth of the devil;

I couldn’t see properly in the heavy-dark but one thing was confirmed; this room is a mess of torn and broken objects; the floor has it all, as I stepped ahead; sounds of sharp pieces of glass can be heard with thunder-storms and when the thunder rumbled in this enormous room I witnessed all of the destruction in here; from books to portraits, everything was awfully disturbed from their respective positions.

“Is anybody here?” I yelled fearly with the paused breath,

“Baby..” A voice lightly echoed from afar, my blood pressure raised its speed along with a wild pumping heart, that sound came near from the bed,

This room held a terror and before I get to see a ghost standing in front of me; I needed to get out of here, so I ran to the door and tried to open it but it was locked; that giant bulldozer locked me in this paranormal kind of room. I was scared to death by now,
