My Artistic Mafia Man Chapter 15: Road Racing
Chapter 15: Road RacingEltan Storm"Hey, Dr. Parkins, I thought you were dead," I greeted my family doctor sarcastically over the phone."Sorry for ghosting you with Ms. Mabel's reports, Eltan. Some family emergency came up, so I was unable to check her reports and brief you on them," he replied."It's okay. She seems better now. I have been making sure she's eating healthy.""That's great. But um..." he paused ominously. "By the way, I checked the reports just now. Do you think you can drop by my chamber?"My heart dropped. "Why? Is there something wrong with her reports?""It's not life-threatening. Just some issues. Why don't you pay me a visit whenever you can and we can talk it over?""Since you are so chill about it, I guess it is not life-threatening," I said to myself. "Anyway, I think I can visit you tomorrow afternoon.""Sounds perfect. See you tomorrow then. Goodnight, Eltan.""Goodnight, Dr. Parkins."After hanging up the call, I stared at my dark phone screen and wondere

Chapter 16: LookalikeEltan StormFaith was standing in front of me in a biker's outfit, and I couldn't connect the pieces of the puzzle. She was the one who said that motorcycle racing was a straight way to death, and here she was."Faith, what the hell are you doing here?" I couldn't stop the anger from seeping into my voice.I looked around and all I saw was danger for her. This place filled with criminals and offenders wasn't suitable for her. She shouldn't be here, let alone participating in such risky activities.At my question, Faith's earlier grin was gone and replaced by annoyance, which was an expression I had never seen on her before. "My name is Mutiny," she responded in a clipped tone, choosing not to answer my question.I bit back a groan and said, "I get that it's your alias here. But my question is, why are you here?"She placed her helmet on the bike and retorted, "Why should I answer you? What are you, my boyfriend? No, right?""What are you saying—" I paused abruptl

Chapter 17: Expressing Myself Eltan StormI tapped my foot impatiently after ringing the bell of Faith's apartment for the third time.It was eleven in the morning. Was she still sleeping?Come to think of it, I didn't know whether she was a light sleeper or deep sleeper or early riser or late riser. I wanted to know that about her. I raised my hand to ring the bell once again when I heard shuffling from inside a few moments before the door swung open and soon I found Faith standing in front of me rubbing her eyes cutely like a panda, dressed only in a long oversized t-shirt."Eltan?" she mumbled sleepily."Sorry to wake you up." I gave her a sheepish smile. "I was just worried about you. Why weren't you picking up your phone last night?""Oh, that." She stopped rubbing her eyes and pushed her hair strands out of her face and yawned. "I was out with some of my friends."As she yawned, I could smell alcohol in her breath."Were you drinking?" I asked in disbelief. Didn't she say that

Chapter 18: Vexing WomanEltan StormI was walking on clouds ever since Faith and I made things official until a text from an unknown number burst my bubble."Meet me alone at the XX street alley at 2 pm sharp - Mutiny."I twitched my lips in annoyance. I had to meet Dr. Parkins as well in the afternoon. But I had no option with Mutiny. I promised her a good payment. So I decided to drive to her location. It was close to where Faith lives. I had just left her house an hour ago.I got there ten minutes earlier and waited till Mutiny made her appearance.When I saw her again, my heart jumped as my first instinct was to think of her as Faith and get happy. But when I noticed her high-heeled boots and black leather jacket, I reverted back to my stoic expressions."So have you decided what you want as a payment?" I asked, my hands buried in my pockets.She tilted her head to the side and asked, "Did you get any call yet?""What call?" I asked, cooking an eyebrow at her."About Turqo," she
Last Updated : 2024-03-14My Artistic Mafia Man Chapter 19: Faith and Mutiny
Chapter 19: Faith and MutinyEltan StormI was flabbergasted as Dr. Parkins explained to me what dissociative personality disorder was.Hearing one or more than one voice inside the head? Having more than one distinct personality? It was like two or three people living inside a single body. The behavior was controlled by the personality in charge.Faith had this mental health condition.She didn't just have headaches. Her entire head was fucked up."But I have never faced any of her other personalities—" I paused as a few images from last night and earlier this afternoon came to my mind.It didn't take me long to come to a jarring conclusion.Shit."Mutiny is Faith's other personality," I murmured, then told Dr. Parkins about it."So you have met her other personality? And she is called Mutiny?" he asked, noting it down.I nodded my head, still in a trance. "I just met her last night. She… she is the complete opposite of Faith. She’s like a psychopath."He hummed and asked, "But are y
Last Updated : 2024-03-14My Artistic Mafia Man Chapter 20: Challenge Accepted
Chapter 20: Challenge Accepted Eltan Storm The next day, I went to the casino directly, instead of Faith's apartment. I didn't want to meet Mutiny. That woman could go to hell—wait, saying that felt wrong. Faith didn't deserve hell, but Mutiny did. Ugh, I swear it was so confusing. Nevertheless, I wanted to see Faith. During the time of her work shift, Faith should be there. As expected, I found the auburn-haired woman behind the counter, her back turned toward me, putting a few glasses on the shelf. A smile made its way to my lips at her sight, but it dropped a little as I remembered our last conversation. I hoped she felt okay now. She seemed terrified until Mutiny's switch got turned on. I honestly didn't understand how it all worked. Though I was going to try my best. Sensing the presence of a customer behind her, Faith chirped, "What would you like to have, sir?" "You," I answered without hesitation. Her shoulders squeaked hearing my voice, and she quickly turned around t

Chapter 21: Old MemoriesEltan Storm"Hey, it's unexpected of you to call me at this time of the day," I said over the phone while getting ready to head out for an assignment in the afternoon."No, I just suddenly felt like talking to you," Faith mumbled shyly. "And I was thinking...""Yeah?" I encouraged her to speak."Um, we haven't been on a date ever since we became official," she let out abruptly.I went blank for a moment before blurting out, "Oh, shit, that's right." I got too caught up with Mutiny and forgot to plan a perfect date for the two of us."What do you think about today? A

Chapter 22: Knife and ThreatsEltan StormI woke up to many noises around me. My eyes were bleary and heavy, so it took me a while to make sense of where I was and what was going on.I was sitting in the passenger's seat of my car and my men were surrounding Faith at a distance. It was late at night already, but the streetlight helped me see clearly."—Where the hell do you think you were taking Capo?" I heard Denver shout and saw him pointing his gun at Faith.My heart spiked with fear, and I instantly got out of the car and pulled out my gun. Afraid that Denver would shoot her, I quickly aimed at Denver's gun and shot at it. The bullet hit the muzzle of his gun, and it fell out of his hand.

My Artistic Mafia Man Chapter 40: Crazy Love
Chapter 40: Crazy LoveEltan StormA year has gone by since Faith and I moved to New York—a year of us living together. To say it was an understatement; it was bliss."Where are you right now?" I asked over the phone. "Weren't you supposed to have dinner with Mrs. Martin?""I was having dinner with Anna, but then, duty called, so I rushed over. I have to hang up now. I'm busy.""Which duty—" Before I could ask, she cut the call.I let out an annoyed sigh.It was ten at night. It could be either of the duties since she maintained two jobs—one as the manager of the second branch of Berserkers, and the seco
My Artistic Mafia Man Chapter 39: Best For You
Chapter 39: Best For YouEltan Storm"C'mon, Faith, don't be stubborn," I huffed, grabbing a handful of clothes from the closet."No, I won't go," she declared, dumping out the clothes I just put inside the luggage."We need to go. We won't get a second appointment if we miss the first one," I reasoned out."I still won't go. Why didn't you ask me beforehand if you are so concerned about missing the appointment?""Because I knew you would say no."We were currently back home in Vegas at Faith's apartment.After we returned from New York two weeks ago, Faith saw a psychologist here since she
My Artistic Mafia Man Chapter 38: Two Sides Of A Coin
Chapter 38: Two Sides Of A CoinEltan Storm"I'm so sorry for being careless, Big Bro. You can hit me if you want," I sincerely said, closing my eyes and waiting for Elian to hit me.But instead, I was wrapped in a tight hug. "Thank you for finding him," was what he said, contrary to what I expected of him."But it really was my fault—""It doesn't matter. You returned Xian back to us safely. You did your job well," he said, and I became quiet.I watched Xian who was hugging his mom and crying. It was obviously a little too much for such a young kid.Mutiny was standing in the corner, distancing herself from my family.
My Artistic Mafia Man Chapter 37: Protect Him
Chapter 37: Protect HimFaith MabelEltan was freaking out.It was the first time I was seeing him like this, and knowing I was partially responsible for it made things worse.If only I had told him that I was going to the pharmacy, he wouldn't have rushed to look for me while leaving Xian alone. And right now, we couldn't find him anywhere.Eltan already called his men to send out a search party. They were going through the CCTV footage around the park. Whoever took Xian even threw away the phone Eltan had given him."Shouldn't you let Alena and Elian know?" I asked hesitantly while Eltan was pacing around in front of the house.
My Artistic Mafia Man Chapter 36: Family For A Day
Chapter 36: Family For A DayEltan Storm"Eltan, you have bags under your eyes. Did you have trouble sleeping last night?" Faith asked in concern."Yeah, something like that," I said.After Faith fell asleep beside me, I stayed up all night researching DID and how to date someone with it.It wasn't going to be easy; that much was obvious. But I was all in for a hard challenge.So far what I understood was, I had to be gentle for Faith like I have always been and rough for Mutiny because that was the only way to deal with her unpredictable actions.I needed to talk to Faith about it as well. I needed her permiss
My Artistic Mafia Man Chapter 35: A Single System
Chapter 35: A Single SystemEltan Storm"Why did he call you Daddy?" Mutiny asked, still not believing and holding Xian hostage."Because I told him we were going to meet his daddy," Alena giggled. "Technically, I didn't lie, though. Because we are going to meet Elian after this.""Mommy, you didn't tell me we were meeting Eltan," Xian complained with a pout."That's what you call a surprise, baby!" Alena cooed. "Also, call him uncle," she added a little sternly."It's fine. I will feel old if he calls me uncle." I turned my gaze back to Mutiny who was still skeptical of the entire situation. I
My Artistic Mafia Man Chapter 34: New Conflict
Chapter 34: New ConflictEltan StormThree days passed by since I told Faith the truth.She was taking it well, surprisingly. She was putting up a smile constantly, and I couldn't tell if it was a hundred percent genuine or not. Surely, she was struggling inside.But I tried my best to make things easier for her.Since we were going to be in New York for a week, I took her sightseeing to keep her mind off going into dark places.Due to my shoulder still not being fully healed, she wouldn't let us stay outside for long. However, only at that time, I could be sure that she was truly smiling from the bottom of her heart. Because it showed on her face how much she liked having fun wit

Chapter 33: She Is StrongEltan Storm"Do you want something to eat?" Mutiny asked, peeking inside my room from the doorframe."No, I'm feeling drowsy because of the painkillers. I'm just gonna change and lie down," I replied, standing in front of the dressing table and unbuttoning my shirt with one hand."Do you need some help with that?" She waltzed into the room and slapped my hand away to start working on the buttons."Why did you even bother asking?"She shrugged her shoulders and helped me take off the shirt. "What about your pants? I'll be happy to help with this too." She licked her lips and ran her index finger over the edge of my slacks with a mischievous glint in her ey
My Artistic Mafia Man Chapter 32: Underworld Queen
Chapter 32: Underworld QueenEltan Storm"I swear I will chop that piece of a shit limb by limb," Mutiny grumbled from the corner of the room while a medic took the crumbs of the bullet from my left shoulder.When we were outside the mansion, one of the members of Charles and Andrew's gang happened to survive despite his grave injuries and shot at me from the window. He aimed for my heart, but he missed and hit my shoulder.I chuckled lightly at her fussing. "He's dead already. Remember, you emptied your magazine shooting at that guy?""Not enough! I'm still going to cut him into little pieces, then I will burn them," she declared, her arms crossed against her chest."Just please
