FALLING FOR MAFIA KYLE

DANA “You want to get your job back?” My boss screamed into my ears while I swallowed hard, “Then you shouldn’t have messed with the chairman! How could you dig up dirt on him when you clearly knew who he was!” “What would you have me do? They have been doing s*x trafficking for years! That man has kidn*pped so many women! I would never have let him slide like that!!” I yelled back but I knew that I shouldn’t be doing that. I’m neck deep in trouble and the worst that can happen to me right now is to throw a tantrum. I can’t afford it at the moment, I can’t lose all I have now. Who’d pay my mom’s hospital bill, what about William’s school fees? My fiancée won’t take it lightly with me. “Please...” I went on my knees, “I beg of you, I can’t...” “Go to Russia,” my boss said, “All I can do for you is for you to go Russia, I need you to run an investigation into a mafia group...” “Boss, mafia?” Heck no! Russia, I can’t afford going to Russia when my wedding is a few days away. An investigation into the mafia group is like a dead zone. No one dared do it. “You’d be helping your country if you do it. We need intels on every mafia group in that country, that way we can help curb them from causing nuisance to our country in the future.” “Boss! I’m getting married soon, I can’t afford to be out of the country at this moment,” “Well, I am just trying to help you and if you won’t do it, then forget I ever brought this up.” I clenched my fist. Why is everyone always so eager to protect the chairman whenever his name is mentioned. Why does everyone’s life get ruined whenever the chairman gets involved. I feel like s**t! I should never have started the investigation in the first place. I wiped a tear off my face biting my lower lip before I looked up to my boss face, “I will go to Russia,” “Good, I will have Lucky and Andrew follow you.” I can’t believe I let myself come to Russia like this. “The biggest Mafia group is the Petrov’s. They lead Russia, very unshakeable and everyone cower when they are mentioned.” Lucky said while I drifted my eyes to his laptop. “The petrov?” I asked while he nodded. “Yeah, it belongs to the Petrov’s family. They’re very ruthless, they have no mercy on anyone who comes across to them. There’s no way we would be to dig up dirt on them even if we tried because our life will be on the line if they notice any phony movement around them.” “Hmm...” I raked my hands into my hair, “But we’ve still got to try right? I mean, we can’t be here without doing anything. I need to be fast and go home. My fiancee is already angry as it is that I’m here in Russia celebrating my new year eve outside home.” “Boss can be very rigid sometimes,” Andrew said with pity while I smirked. “I am the one who crossed the line so I don’t blame him for being harsh on me.” I replied before Lucky tapped me. My phone rang repeatedly in my pocket, I brought it out. Anthony was calling again. I heaved, “Babe,” I started ready to hear his screams. “So you really went to Russia? Seriously? So I don’t mean anything to you when it comes to your job?” “Babe...” “What? Being an FBI matters more to you than home, doesn’t it?” “We have talked about this, I’m sorry but I can’t lose...” “Yeah I know. You won’t lose your job. But it’s okay if you lose me right?” He said and hung up and panic crept into my stomach. I stared at my phone blankly, my heart racing repeatedly, what does he mean by losing him? “I’ve hacked into their site!” Lucky announced and I dropped my phone on the table as we clustered around his back, “The Petrov’s heir is going to be at the square tonight. His men are getting ready for it,” “Okay? So? What are we to do with the Petrov’s heir, he’s not our target.” Andrew said sighing out heavily. “We need to put a tracker on him, something that we can just use for a moment to get an access into their website, I think my hacking expertise is weak when it comes to theirs.” Lucky said. “What are we going to do now? I think we will have to give up on them and focus on other mafia groups.” Andrew suggested whole my hands drummed the table. I need to think fast, I need to act fast. Doing shitty jobs like this need to earn me a place at the FBI like I made my family believe that I work there. Boss already promised that I’d get a chance if I did my job well. I need to make this work. If this is the chance I get to right my wrongs and become someone I have always dreamt off, I’m willing to take a gamble. To take a risk. I stood up and grabbed my coat, “Where are you going?” MIKHAIL “Ten! Nine!!” The crowd counted while I stood in the middle of the street, a glass of wine in my hand, I was hazy. I was sad, how time flies before we even know it. “And where is she?” I asked myself looking to catch a glimpse of Sasha, she told me she will be in Moscow square before the fireworks goes off but I can’t see her. “Seven! Six! Five! Four! Three!” “Waiting for someone?” I heard a lovely voice behind my back and I turned to catch a woman on short blonde hair, grinning from ear to ear. She was wearing a graduation gown, the cap in her grasp, her eyes shone brighter than the moon, she stepped closer to me and my heart quickened. “Two!!!” The crowd shouted while she drew closer to me causing my cheeks to fire up, I tried clutching tighter to the glass of wine I was holding. “One!” Her hand came to my tie and pulled me down to her height, her lips catching mine in a fleet of seconds.
