My Mafia Rescuer Chapter 7: Clubbing Gone Wrong
Chapter 7: Clubbing Gone WrongEmber CorbinIt had been eight days since my deal with Lance. After that, we never talked with each other ever again. I saw him once near a café and wanted to go say hi but refrained from doing so. He didn't want to be friends with me, I had to respect that.It was evening, and I was sitting with a chocolate ice cream tub in my hand while watching a movie on Netflix when my phone rang up. I paused the movie and picked up the call seeing it was Candy. It was supposed to be her work hour soon, then why was she calling me?"Hey," I greeted her. "Is everything okay? You were supposed to get ready for work.""Hey, Em. Yeah, everything is okay.""Then, why did you call me? Do you have less work pressure today?" I asked curiously."Tomorrow is Sunday, which means you are free tonight. Why don't we have a girls' night out today?" she offered.I looked at myself, wearing a long oversized t-shirt with shorts, sitting comfortably on the couch. "As much as it sounds

Chapter 8: Lost On RoadsEmber Corbin"It will be wiser if you put the gun down. Don't you think so, Savannah?" Lance uttered coldly.A shiver ran down my spine hearing his tone. It was the same tone he used when he was playing with the knife over my hand eight days ago. But I shouldn't be scared because this time it wasn't me at gunpoint. Well, technically I was under gunpoint, but I wasn't the one being threatened by Lance.How did Lance know her name, though? Wait, what was he doing here in the first place when I clearly remember Faith telling me he hated crowds?When the woman, whom Lance called 'Savannah' didn't lower her gun, I retorted, "See? She isn't wise. If she was, she wouldn't even argue with me in the first place. I mean, do I look like a person who will argue?""Shut up," Lance cut me off harshly, and I sealed my mouth. Glaring at Savannah, he repeated for the final time, "Down or trust me, your family won't have a body for you to place in the coffin."Gulping hard, Sav

Chapter 9: GraveyardEmber CorbinWe were lost.I should've paid attention to the street. It was all my fault."This is why you should talk less," Lance said, frustration visible in his voice.I bit my lower lip and looked at the deserted street after stealing a glance from Lance. He was clearly annoyed, and I was the one bothering him. I shouldn't have told him to give me a lift in the first place. Now, he would think I was definitely the most annoying person he ever met."You know what? You can drop me here," I offered."And let you get injured so that you can call the cops on me? No, thanks." Lance leaned his head back against the headrest, taking in a few deep breaths.We were currently inside the car, parked at the side of the street, surrounded by huge trees.Due to the air conditioner in the car and my revealing dress, I was starting to feel cold, but I was afraid to say anything to Lance now."It's okay, you can drop me here. I will find my way home, and I swear, I won't call

Chapter 10: A Threat Of Friendship?Ember Corbin"Why are we dropping you in a graveyard?" Lance questioned at last after I stepped out of his car. "Are you visiting someone for your mom?"I turned back to see him looking at me from the rolled-down windshield. Giving him a firm smile, I replied, "I am going to meet someone. Do you want to accompany me?" Before he could say something, I added, "Only if you have time."He looked at his wristwatch and heaved a sigh before getting out of the car. He was wearing a buttoned-up black shirt with black jeans, and I had to admit, the outfit looked really nice on him; especially for the occasion."Today is Sunday, so..." he trailed off.Chuckling, I put my hands in the pocket of my black hoodie. The weather wasn't that cold, yet I wore a hoodie with my shorts because it was comfortable and I had intended to go to the supermarket only. "I never knew Mafia leaders had a holiday too," I commented and started walking to the entrance of the graveyard

Chapter 11: Forced HangoutEmber CorbinI was on my way home from work, keeping an eye on my surroundings all the time.What if someone attacked me from behind?I had to stay cautious after that threat I received last night. I eyed the security guard of a shopping mall I just crossed. He seemed suspicious. What if he was going to assault me once the traffic police behind me disappeared?Fastening my pace, I decided to change my route home. Instead of using the regular street, I chose the new street which I hadn't noticed before.The threat letter meant someone was going to kill me, so the killer had to keep an eye on my daily activities, which meant he knew what streets I used on a regular basis. Naturally, those places would be the best places to catch me and finish me off.The worst part was, that I had no idea who was going to kill me or who was hired to kill me, but all I knew was, that it was connected to my past.I had been on a run for some time now. I changed two jobs and two

Chapter 12: Flower DonationLance StormI just got home after a long day. It was six in the morning now.While I was returning home from the office today, I had to go back to the base of my Mafia Thunder due to an emergency. I was supposed to check all the boxes properly before exporting them. Then, I had to make a strategic plan to make sure our boxes weren't stolen by our enemy.I freshened up and decided to lay on the bed for a while to take a nap before I had to go to the office again in a few hours. Maybe I would just skip it today. It wasn't like my attendance was mandatory.I felt more relaxed at the thought of not going to the office today. It had been so long that I had been able to relax.But as soon as I closed my eyes to sleep, Ember's beautiful smile appeared in my mind.My eyes jolted open at that instant, and I remembered the hangout with Ember. I was supposed to go to her favorite restaurant last night, and I didn't even text her once that I wouldn't be able to make it

Chapter 13: DisclosureEmber Corbin"Why are we in the graveyard at this time?" Lance asked me as I looked at the sky. The sun was going to set soon, and I loved watching the sunset."I am here to meet my mom, but I don't know about you," I responded.He shrugged his shoulders. We walked to my mom's tombstone."Ember, are you still angry at me?"I twitched my lips and answered, "I don't know. Maybe I am, maybe I'm not."Lance groaned, "I hate this feeling.""Feeling you get when you are with me?" I arched an eyebrow. He was taken aback by my question."I meant the feeling of not knowing whether I am forgiven or not," he corrected his words.I smiled and once we reached my mom's grave, we sat on the short trimmed grass nearby.We were silent for a while with me staring at the writings on my mom's headstone and Lance staring at my face, trying to gauge what I was thinking.After a few minutes, I started talking on my own, "You know, Lance, I saw my mother getting murdered in front of my

Chapter 14: A Different FeelingEmber CorbinWhile getting ready to go to Happy Kindergarten, Lance suddenly called me and asked me where I was. I told him that I was going to work, even though he was supposed to know it was my work hour, yet he told me to wait for him so that he could pick me up.These past few days, Lance has been acting weird—a good kinda weird. It wasn't like I was complaining, as it was actually good for me. I was getting free rides from Lance Storm.I immediately stood up and got out of the house when I saw his car approaching from my window. He rolled down his windshield, and I smiled brightly at him."Good morning, Lance! What a lovely morning, isn't it? I hope it stays this way. The clouds are so pretty too. Anyway, how are you feeling this morning? Did you have breakfast?" I chirped."Just get in quickly," he said disinterestedly to me. I shrugged since I wasn't even expecting him to reply and rushed into the car."Where is Sebastian?" I asked when I saw it

Chapter 30: Wedding BellsEmber Corbin"Ember!" I turned around to see Candy wearing a beautiful pastel-colored dress. She looked so happy while holding a bouquet of roses."You look so pretty!" she exclaimed and jumped at me in excitement. Luckily, I'd been working out these past few days, so I managed to catch her and return the hug. I had to thank Lance for forcing me to stay in shape even after the self-defense classes were over."I told you this gown will suit you better," she commented while checking me from head to toe.I was glad I listened to her as well. This gown was so magical. It was an off-shoulder dress, and the sleeves were attached to my arms, not on the dress. This long mermaid gown had these cute details on the tail.

Chapter 29: Love and RomanceEmber Corbin"Lance?"I got nervous as Lance remained silent for a few minutes while gawking at me like he couldn't believe it was true. It was almost adorable in a way, but I didn't have the patience to admire his handsome face after waiting hours for him on this chilly terrace; I was sure I was going to catch a cold afterward, but that wasn't what was important at the moment. I had been so worried about him."Say something, will you?"Lance finally snapped out of his trance and asked, "Um, I... I don't get this. Why?"I sighed fondly and walked up to him, taking his hand in mine. "Because I forgive you.""Exactly. W-why?"
My Mafia Rescuer Chapter 28: Acceptance
Chapter 28: AcceptanceEmber CorbinI had been trying to talk to Lance since his father came by, but I just couldn't find the right timing since he wasn't looking at me at all. There was this time when Lance made me a cup of coffee, I was about to call him out, but he just quickly walked outside, pretending not to hear me."Lance has been looking after us ever since we started riding. How come you're still not melting?" Maria teased me when we were riding a speedboat in the ocean. Despite the season being cold, it was sunny enough for a boat ride.I smiled at her and looked in Lance's direction over my shoulder and caught him staring at me. I smiled at him faintly, but I doubt he saw that since he averted his gaze at the very moment, I looked at him. That was what I was talking about. He was

Chapter 27: Breaking DownEmber Corbin"The patient needs a lot of rest. If it's possible, you need to lessen her stress," the doctor said in English, his Spanish accent visible in it."Gracias, Doctor," a guy named Matías said with a perfect accent.I was in Spain right now. Lance brought me here. Did he think that bringing me here would help me forgive him? All his efforts are going to go to waste."I'm going to let my wife know that you're eating here," Matías said and smiled at me. I didn't want to be rude, so I nodded at him.When the door closed, only Lance and I were left in the big room. It was so quiet that I could literally hear the busy street downstairs. It was New Year's Eve,

Chapter 26: Death Over HimLance Storm"Doctor! Where's the fucking doctor?" I hollered.Arthur and Denver were with me while I was carrying Ember's limp body in my arms."What happened? Who is creating a ruckus?” A female doctor came out and immediately gasped as she saw the bloodied woman in my arms. “Let me see the patient." As she approached us, she was so shocked when she saw Ember's condition that she just stared for a few seconds, dumbfounded."What the fuck are you standing here like a goddamn statue for? Save her!"The female doctor took a step back in fear when I yelled at her. I was mad and anxious right now, and the last thing I needed was a doctor who was just going to stare at
My Mafia Rescuer Chapter 25: Torturous Emotions
Chapter 25: Torturous EmotionsEmber CorbinI tried to open my eyes, but all I could see was darkness around me with only one bulb hanging in front of me. It felt like I was kidnapped by Lance. The only difference was the back of my head was still hurting like hell and there was a sticky feeling on my nape as if there was dried blood there.I tried to speak until I noticed that there was something in my mouth. Argh!I slumped my shoulders in defeat, my head aching a lot. My eyes scanned the room one more time to see if I could see clearly this time, but all I could see was endless darkness, which made my heart throb fast in fear.I was running out of breath, and the tape on my m
My Mafia Rescuer Chapter 24: Painful Truth
Chapter 24: Painful TruthLance StormEight years ago, I remember a man who had a lot of debt right after I had moved to Vegas for university and to plant my roots in the gang.That man had been off-track ever since, not willing to return even a single penny. I was only eighteen, recently starting to take over Mafia Thunder. Meanwhile, Elian had asked our father for a couple more years to focus on studying before he wanted to join. However, our father taught us both the same ways to rule, so to punish that man, I had to do the same thing every mafia leader would....Eight Years Ago..."So, no one knows where he is?" I asked Arthur while checking the paper in front of me. "So that man has the guts to come and ask for money and then run awa

I asked in confusion and looked at Lance, who was now enjoying sitting on the couch."I do, but you're not in there," he said, shrugging his shoulders off like it was not a big deal.I know we were in a relationship right now, but I still needed my privacy. I didn't get it. He had a big penthouse, yet he kept on insisting on staying here. Not that I was complaining, I quite enjoyed sleeping with him. But I mean, I couldn't even call Candy and fangirl about male hot celebrities shamelessly with Lance in the house."Why are you pouting while standing there?" he asked, glancing at me.I sighed deeply. "You're going home tonight," I said, cross
My Mafia Rescuer Chapter 22: The First Date
Chapter 22: The First DateEmber CorbinI woke up with the smell of coffee. I glanced beside me and found my bed to be empty. Lance decided to stay last night, and he kept on insisting on sleeping on my tiny couch. But I somehow convinced him to stay in the same bed with me, otherwise, I would chew his brain with my talking. We cuddled a lot. Nothing else happened, though."Lance?" I came out of my room, and there I saw Lance brewing coffee while making breakfast. I hope he was making one for me too."Hey, good morning." He immediately looked up at me and smiled. My heart fluttered. Who knew there would come a day when Lance would be smiling so freely around me?He walked to me as I started to say, "Good morning. The breakfast smells so great&mdas
