The Mafia's Heart's Keeper

Chapter 1

Hazel POV

I groaned as the sunlight hit my face. Who the hell opened the curtains? I stood up lazily and slumped my way to the bathroom. Turning the shower on, I relaxed as the warm water hit my skin. I went to my cupboard and slipped on my undergarments and a pair of denim shorts and a navy blue top.

As I made my way down the stairs, I thought about how I was going to find a job considering I got fired because of my smart a*s mouth. I took an apple from the counter and opened my laptop which I left here last night.

Oops. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Hazel Rose and I am 19 years old. I am just an average girl with dark brown hair and green eyes trying to survive in this cruel world. But there is nothing special about me other than the fact that I am an orphan and live alone.

Sighing to myself, I start hunting for a job. There are many job proposals about baby sitting, personal assistant, waitress but the pay was not good. I wonder how I am going to pay my bills. Damn! I wish I didn't get fired from my job.

I was lost in my thoughts when I heard the doorbell ring. I ran and quickly opened the door to see a handsome guy. He had brown hair, blue eyes and a strong jaw. He was wearing jeans with a tight black t-shirt that showed his muscles and abs. His neck and hands were tattooed making him look dangerous and equally edible. His aura screamed DANGER loud.

He’s hot.

I realised that I was staring then cleared my throat and asked.

"Who are you ?"

"Your well wisher." He said in a husky voice. A puzzled look appeared on my face which made him laugh and say.

"Won't you invite us in ?"

Xavier POV

I cursed as I thought about how Darren got a hold of my folder. That f*****g folder contained all information regarding my illegal business. I really have to do something to get it back. Well, I actually have a plan.

"Max, go to Abbotswell road. We will find the solution of our problem there." I ordered him as I averted my gaze to my phone.

"What do you mean ?" Max questioned as I smirked thinking about what I was going to do.

As we reached Abbotswell street and went to house number 12, I rang the doorbell and the same girl with dark hair with highlights, green eyes wearing shorts and navy blue top opened the door. She looked beautiful than the first time I saw her in the cafe.

Xavier, you are here for work focus on it.

"Who are you?" Her angelic voice filled my ears.

"Your well wisher." I answered in my usual intimidating business tone. I smirked taking in her puzzled expression.

"Won't you invite us in?"

Hazel POV

I stared at him with confusion written on my face in bold letters. How the hell can he be my well wisher? I am sure he is crazy.

"Look if you are hear to talk s**t like that then I don't have any time for you. So, you better get going." I exclaimed and watched his expression turn from calm to angry within a flick of a second.

"Well, I am not hear to talk s**t but I will be able to tell you what I want if you f*****g let us in." He glared daggers at me. His voice send shivers down my spine.

I thought about it for a while but eventually let him in. I know I sound a bit crazy but if i don't let him in then he will continue to annoy me which is the last thing I want.

He entered the house followed by another guy.

"So, will you tell me now what you want?" I asked as I sat on the couch.

"I have a proposal for you." he said in a serious tone.

"What proposal?" I was starting to get irritated now. He was just wasting my time, I thought to my self.

"I know you are having financial problems and need money now. I can help you but I need you to do something for me in return." He casually voiced out his thoughts it as if it was his daily routine.

"How the hell do you know I need money? Were you spying on me? Are you a murderer?" I asked all the questions in one breathe.

"I have connections. Now to business, I will give you one million dollars. But you are going to help me by doing as I say."

ONE MILLION DOLLARS! Is he f*****g kidding me?

"What do you want me to do ?" I tried my best to maintain a passive look to look tough.

"Do you know Darren Smith?"

"That mafia leader?"

"Yeah, I need you to seduce him."

"You want me to do what!?"
