My Mafia
Being the daughter of an alcoholic, isn't a great thing. But what is worse is losing my mother at the age of seven.
My father, Oliver Kruiz has hated me ever since, thinks I took his wife away from him. When in reality, it was his failure to show up that caused her death.
As though hating me wasn't enough to keep me depressed, he tried to get me married to a man twenty years older than I was.
I don't think twice before running away, the night before my wedding.
I was meant to be careful but got careless, and nearly ended up being molested by thugs. That is before I'm saved by my dark hero: Hayden Wren.
Things didn't exactly start smoothly, but that didn't mean they ended well either.
I had phobia for thugs because my mother was killed by them; while trying to protect me. Everything suddenly goes south, when I find out the man who had saved me was no different.
Which leaves me thinking: is he a friend or foe?

River Kruiz, the daughter of a drunkard, Oliver Kruiz. She has phobia for thugs, and even eloped the night before her wedding. Nearly for this same reason.
But what happens when she finds herself growing attached to a mafia?

Chapter: Chapter 7By the time Mr Ron returned, I had wiped my tears and was nearly done consuming my breakfast. He frowned at my pace, but placed the white pair of flip flops beside my feet nonetheless. "Here they are." He said, I placed my cutlery on my plate and wiped my mouth with a napkin. I turned to him, the moment I had put the flip flops on."Thank you Mr Ron, but it really wasn't necessary." I say softly, while standing on my feet. A small smile appears on his face, "nonsense." He says waving a hand in dismissal, "Besides, you're like a daughter to me." He adds, walking ahead. But I pause, hesitantly looking at the plate I had eaten from, then finally taking it."No need for that, the maids will have that cleaned." He said, stopping me in my tracks. oh."It really isn't.." I try to protest, but then his eyes stop me. "O... okay." I say gently placing the plate on the table, finally giving in. With a polite smile he leads me next, to the kitchen.****I had soon learned Mr. Hayden had ordered

Chapter: Chapter 6The pain I felt in my head was agonising.I gasped for breath as soon as I opened my eyes. My body still felt numb and stiff at the moment, so I couldn't move properly for the time being. I blinked the haziness out of my eyes, finding myself staring blankly at a black ceiling.Just then, I realized I was moving. No, that wasn't it. I was being moved, but I couldn't figure out where to. The car, slowly comes to a stop after about twenty minutes had passed by. I couldn't sit upright due to the weakness in my body at the moment. What scared me more was the fact that, my eyes were slowly giving in to darkness.I nearly panicked for a moment, but got distracted by the sound of the car door being pulled open. I failed to see the face of the man who had pulled it open, and find myself squinting my eyes due to the bright light that pour in. My hazy vision wasn't helping, as I felt the stranger's strong arms wrap around my back and legs. Gently, lifting me out of the car."I was afraid somet

Chapter: Chapter 5At first there's an unbearable silence, but then as though a bell was rung; they all begin to chuckle. "What did you say kiddo?" A deep intimidating voice asks from ahead.He seemed to be stronger than all four of the thugs, and their leader too. The stranger however, takes a challenging step forward, causing their chuckles to die down. "I said," the stranger replies threateningly, "let her go." he adds. Their leader cracks his knuckles and begins to approach him, but he doesn't take any step back. "And what if I don't?" he asks daringly, "you die." came the strangers' reply. The one who is currently holding me by the neck, lowers me to the ground but doesn't release me. "her?" He asks mockingly, pulling me to the front of the leader before tossing me to the stranger's feet. I groan at the impact, trying my best to balance the force between my hands though it still hurts.My silver hair covers my face, while I cough. I try my best to breathe while I rub my sore throat, my visions

Chapter: Chapter 4It has been nearly two days since my conviction. Eva hadn't tried to convince me otherwise, I guess she could also see ny pain.Tonight is the last night I have to run away, before the wedding ceremony tomorrow. Hence, tonight was probably the last time I would see Eva again.After our shift,I make my way to her post. She looked more gloomy than I expected, but she did her best to brighten up. We both walked home silently, perhaps too scared to say anything to ruin the moment. By the time it's time to bid her farewell, she unexpectedly hugs me. I gasp, my eyes wide in surprise.around her too. After some seconds, I wrap my hands around her too. "Promise me you'll come back to see me, or else I'd be worried sick you know." She said into my ear, voice quavering. I still for a moment, before leaning in deeper into the hug. "I will, I promise." I said with finality. That seemed to do the trick because she finally let go. Once she finally leaves, I inhale deeply before turning back to my

Chapter: Chapter 3I couldn't stop the memories from pouring back, and now all I wanted to do was run away and not turn back. I couldn't, not because I was scared; but because I couldn't run away from my father no matter how much I tried. No, he isn't my father. He's Oliver, an alcoholic. I had gotten used to calling him by his name, it would be difficult if things were to change for the better. "What are you... doing here?" I ask in a hushed voice, confusion swallowing up my sanity whole. He lifts his head to look up at me, and I flinch watching him stagger to his feet. "What do you mean by that? This is my house!" He suddenly yells, swinging the empty bottle of alcohol carelessly in the air causing me to take a cautious step back."Your house?" I quietly ask, anger slowly rising within me like boiling lava ready to erupt. "You're never home!" I finally yell, not holding back anymore. Let him do the worst for all I cared, I wanted to speak my mind and I will. "This very house you call your own, is

Chapter: Chapter 2Eva is of average height, and had a vicious charismatic spirit. I stared into her emerald green eyes which were clouded with worry and concern. Within a second it disappears, like as though it wasn't there. She whips her golden neatly braided ponytail over her shoulder with a soft smile. She doesn't push it, and I'm grateful for that. "How does girls night sound?" she asks me with a wink. I blink, "what?" I choke out in surprise. "Oh come on, you never have fun, you're always thinking or worrying. At least, just for tonight, please.." she pleads, blinking her cute eyes at me. I turn away with a heavy sigh. "alright." I say in agreement, finally giving in."Really?" she squeals in excitement. I nod, a small smile forming on my lips. She gives me a tight hug nearly squeezing the air out of my lungs, before pulling away. "I'll finish my shift soon, wait for me." she whispered before hurrying back to her post.Eva was the only person I could communicate with, to a certain degree. If I h
