Submitting to Mafia-9

With a nervously beating heart, Elysia started to get dressed up for dinner. She could not name it as a date because he was just returning a favour which she had given him.

So, she dropped the idea of wearing a dress and instead settled on slipping inside the formal black pants with a grey button-up shirt and a long checkered matching coat and a scarf around her neck. It covered the wound on her cheek also.

A little makeup and that's it.

Exactly at 7 pm, a car horn grabbed her attention.

She knew she had to see him, however, when the time was there, she started to get sweaty hands and the little droplets of water were also shining on her forehead.

Soon, Lauren peeped inside her room, ''Your date is here.'' She wriggled her brow.

"He is not a date." Elysia refused and wore a mask of confidence as she walked out of the room.

'Hope this night will go well.' Elysia wished, but she had no idea what her time with him was holding for her.

"I am dying to see him." Lauren followed her. The knock on the door made Elysia keep her mouth close and Lauren rushed to open it.

She saw a really tall, intimidating man standing at the door. His aura was screaming one thing.... danger. The darkness was oozing out from every pore and every cell of his body.

On top of that, he was wearing a black suit. It fit perfectly on his muscular body. It felt like the suit was sewn on his body, making him appear to be scarier.

''Hi.'' He broke the trance of Lauren.

''Oh, Hi. Sebastian?" She wanted to confirm his identity before handing Elysia to him.

''Yeah.'' His black eyes had the power to suck someone's soul. Although he looked really promising, there was something unsettling about him.

Elysia glanced at him over Lauren's shoulder. While he also gazed behind her friend to look at her from head to toe and his dark, emotionless eyes were suddenly filled with the heat and Elysia felt like he was lighting every single space of her body on fire.

''Shall we go?" He cleared his throat to avoid having any lustful thoughts about her.

''Yeah.'' She gave a little nod and waved at Lauren. Lauren had her mouth sealed.

But she smiled at Elysia as she wished for a successful night for her.

''After you." Sebastian showed her the way. Lauren watched them leave together while Sebastian's eyes were glued to Elysia's back.

She bit her lip and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead. He opened the door and she stepped inside the lavish black Audi and then he took the wheel. The engine roared to life before he drove away.

The manly scent in the car was engulfing her from all corners and it made her nauseous. Elysia rubbed her hands on her thighs and tried to focus on the road. While Sebastian did not say a word. The silence was killing her.

''You did not tell me it was supposed to be something formal. I should have dressed up also.'' She had to rack her mind to find a topic and could only manage to say this upon seeing him into a suit.

Her voice was wavering, her breath was shaky that caused his grip on the steering to tighten to the point where his knuckles turned white.

''You don't need to dress up. I am sure you look good in anything.'' He ignored the lump forming in his throat as he turned in her direction before flashing her a smile.

For the first time, Elysia felt her heart skipping a beat. No one has ever told her she is beautiful. Well, Lauren does, but it doesn't count, right?

And now, there is a wound on her face. People like flawless things. Ever since the day she has gotten this scar, she has noticed pity in the eyes of others for herself. Thus, she never expected such a response.

There was something about him which was making her come out of her little hole and putting her into the comfort zone.

"Where are we going?'' She changed the topic and narrowed her eyes on the road. It was dark outside and she had no idea where he was taking her.

''Just 5 more minutes." He focused on the road again.

He was driving so swiftly or maybe it was his expensive car that was doing all the work. However, all of the things together caused her nerves to relax.

Moreover, just like his promise, exactly after 5 minutes the car halted in front of a restaurant. He got out of the car and opened her door. She mouthed a 'thank you' and followed him to the 5 star restaurant.

The whole place was empty. There were a few waitresses walking around but when they saw them, they came to welcome them.

''Welcome, Mr. Luciano." One of them said.

Sebastian waved his hand and she took the signal. She guided them to the respective table.

Elysia was dumbstruck. She felt like she had walked inside a dream. It was a huge restaurant. Marbled, clean and tidy, extravagant chandeliers were hanging on the ceiling. All her life she has been living in a bubble where such things only exist in movies.

"Would you like to order now or later?'' The waitress asked politely.

Although she felt her panties melting away at the deep gazes of Sebastian, her back was breaking into cold sweat and her hands trembling.

"Later." He said to her coldly.

She poured water in the glasses and gave them privacy.

Elysia was staring out of the glass window that was giving the night view of the whole city. It was beautiful but she had no love left for these dark and horrible nights.

It did her badly.

"If you don't like it here, we can go somewhere else." He saw that there was no enthusiasm in her.

"It's beautiful." She told him but did not even do the courtesy of smiling.

Sebastian nodded.

"It must be expensive. I told you before too, you don't need to feel burdened by what I have done. This is making me uncomfortable." She honestly told him.

'What is burdening me, I can't even confess that.' He thought. His eyes moved randomly on her face and stopped on her left cheek. Some part of the wound was peeking out of the scarf. He closed his eyes and tried to calm his raging breath. Otherwise, he wanted to set the whole world on fire.

''I did not bring you anywhere special. This is where I usually go." He sounded serious.

''Okay." She wasn't impressed by his money, "But I don't have any high expectations. This place is literally empty. Not a single customer. How do they make a profit?" She put her elbow on the table and then rested her face on the hand as she said with concern.

'Damn!! You are in no place to be thinking about others.' If he had not met her in person, he would never have believed that someone so naive and innocent like her was capable of existing.

''I don't know." He shrugged his shoulders. He hid the fact that he rented out the whole place and especially requested a female waitress so she wouldn't feel uncomfortable in the presence of some other men.

He saw that his plan had worked as her body relaxed further.

Sebastian signalled the waitress and she brought the menu. Elysia opened one in front of her and gasped at the prices. Even a simple bowl of salad was priced hundreds of euros.

"Why are their prices so damn high?" She forgot about everything else.

''Ma'am, we only serve organic and high quality dishes." The waitress informed her.

''Still, how organic are they to be so expensive?" She closed the menu.

Her eyes darted at Sebastian's. However, she was surprised to see him smiling. Hell, if his smile isn't the most beautiful thing she has ever seen. A glimpse of his pearly teeth, his lips curled upward, even his dark and empty eyes were sparkling.

She forgot to stop checking him out.

''Don't worry. I got it." He assured her and ordered the dishes for her and himself.

"You don't have to treat me to something so expensive. I am even fine with the street food.'' She did not like the royal treatment which he was giving her. Most importantly, Elysia has always been independent. She does not remember the last time she took even a penny from her parents.

How can she make him spend thousands of euros on her!!!

"What exactly do you do? Don't tell me you are some Italian mafia." She joked and laughed at it.

Sebastian went silent.

Her breathtakingly beautiful smile, the melodious sound she made, damn!!! He wants to witness it for the rest of his life.

"Am I right?" She noticed that he did not deny her allegation and narrowed her eyes on her.

"My father left me a huge inheritance." He told her half the truth and half the lie.

He does not know how many more lies he has to tell her to keep the truth hidden.

''Lucky you."

Elysia doesn't have a chatty personality but with him she was leading conversation without her own knowledge. Probably because Sebastian is a man of a few words but he makes her feel comfortable in his presence.
