The Mafia Princess

It was grandfather's memorial night; dad threw a little feast in his honor. I couldn't stay till the end of the feast because I had an entrance examination the next day for the popular Brooklyn college, so I had to go to bed early.I was half awake when I heard a car pull up at our front yard then I reached out for my table clock to check the time, it was 2AM in the morning. Why was mum and dad still up? I thought, I stood up to look outside. My parents weren't there, but I could see three people standing, it looked like they were having a conversation. Then all of a sudden one pulled out a gun and shot the other two, they were my dad's men. I saw two figures come out from the car immediately. We were under attack, I should tell my parents.The gunshots got louder which woke everyone because I could hear people screaming downstairs. it was as if they shot everyone and everything they saw. I was very scared a

"Ms. Ryan, you are late" I heard someone say as I held the door knob of my new office I turned to see Miles (My boss) seated in his office which I totally forgot was opposite mine. I walked into his office at his command. He pointed at the wall clock  in front of him and I turned back to look at it."it's 8:03" I said."Since today is your first day, it should be your lucky day too. Never allow me to be a minute earlier than you " he said in a harsh tone and I just stood there moping without uttering a word."Here is the list of the newly manufactured products and working hours for the laboratory. Fix a schedule for the testing before the end of today, also book an appointment with G & D company for the presentation of the products." okay" I managed to say then I collected the list from him and left to my office.Opening the door to my office I was taken aback by it, I stoo

Fridays became the best day of the week after I got a job here at The Bryon's company because I had two days to myself after it and I wouldn't have to see Miles or any other annoying employee.I sat in my office idle looking at the wall clock. I watched the hands as it ticked till it was 3 O'Clock then I stood up , packed all the necessary things into my handbag and arranged my table. I walked to the mirror, took a quick glance then I switched off the lights. I was about locking my door when  I heard Miles shouting in an infuriated tone. I stood there contemplating on going into his office or just going home and letting him sort his problems himself. After a while I knocked on his door then I turned the knob, opened the door then walked in. His office was littered, there were piece of papers here and there. I started picking the papers,he didn't even say a thing he just stared till I was done."Is everything okay?" I asked putting the half torn p

The weekend came by so fast, boy am I glad the week was over.I made sure I said no to everything Leah asked me while I was half awake during the week days to avoid making promises I won't remember.On days like this I would stroll down to the Yarra riverside because that was my peaceful spot. I loved watching the waves of the river and listening to the gentle sounds from it together with the melodious sound the birds make while chirping, that was my way of keeping in touch with nature. Today was different, I was going to see a movie with Bryan at hisplace.Leah was crossed when I told her I was going to Bryan's instead of helping her with the weekend sales. She complained in a funny way about how I had been paying little or no attention in the past few months after I gota job. she blamed everything on Miles and Bryan stressing on the fact I stopped coming home early. "Be home on time, we are having
