The Mafia King

Chapter 5

Aliza’s POV

I woke up from my sleep to find myself on the floor.

“Wait- how did I get here?”

“Get up it’s already 5:30, Lan is going to be pissed off, he will probably kill a living thing.” I saw Caleb and Xander standing in front of my bed. I quickly stood up and headed to the bathroom trying to figure out what I want to write in my will before Lance kills me.

I took a quick shower then headed to the walk in closet and picked up a black sports b*a with high waist black leggings. I got out and nodded to Caleb and Xander indicating that I’m ready, they left the room with me in tow. I followed them around this maze of a mansion until we reached an underground passage way.

“That’s the gym, it will be were you spend most of your time, at least that’s what Lan said.” Caleb explained and he and Xander chuckled.

“Laugh all you want, but when Lance kills me I won’t have to work out and you’ll have to.”

By this time we’re reached the gym and walked over to the boxing ring were Lance was boxing in with Aidan.

“Kick his a*s Lan!” Caleb shouted.

“Come on Lan finish him!” Xander joined him.

“They’re fighting like teenage boys.” I thought out loud and Nika crouched on the ground laughing.

Lan looked away from Aidan towards me, locking his eyes with mine. I’m officially dead.

He turned back to Aidan and continued boxing him. He knocked him out with one blow to the jaw and another to his stomach. I second Aidan was on the ground crunched up on the boxing ring’s floor.

“LISTEN UP EVERYONE!” Lance yelled as everyone’s cheers quieted down, everyone looked at him with respect and hint of fear.

“Your enemies won’t play nice! Your part of the Imperium Empire. You cannot be intimidated, am I clear?” He asked everyone and they nodded.

“I said am I clear?!” He repeated in a harsher tone.

“YES BOSS!” We all shouted back.

“You.” He pointed at me.

“And you.” He pointed at Xander.

“In the ring now!” He ordered us and a look of horror plastered on my face.

“But she’s a girl, don’t you think she will get hurt?” Xander asked in a hesitant tone.

“Death doesn’t discriminate. If you’re in a life or death situation or in a feud with another mafia you are not allowed to weaken because it’s a girl.”

I got closer to the ring and Lance looked down at me from the ring resting his arms on the edge.

“Let see where your teenage girl fighting will get you.” He sneered and jumped off of the ring over its edge and on to the ground, then left to sit at the back of the gym facing the ring.

I got in the ring and tried to calm my nerves down.

How does he expect me to fight a well-trained muscular man? I asked myself.

I shook all thought from my head and looked around and hear people cheering.

Jaxon, Caleb, Nika and Aki where cheering in my favor.

But the rest of the g**g, well they look Lance’s side and cheered for Xander.

“3. 2. 1… BEGIN!” The referee hollered and a bell rang indicating the beginning of the fight.

The thing you don’t know about me I s that my father taught Caleb and I how to box when we were 10. That’s why Caleb wasn’t worried. But I still am, because he is built completely out of muscle.

He stepped his right foot forward. The moment he launched himself at me, I dodged it and grabbed his fist that was meant to connect with my face, with my hands and twisted his arm over his head.

Since he was much bigger that I was, I couldn’t control his upper body, the only way to make him drop to the ground is using his lower body.

He twisted out of my grasp and threw a kick with his leg to my side, I tipped over and almost fell from the pain.

He was going for another kick since he found that technique most useful, but when his leg was a few inches away from my body I stepped back and captured his foot in my hand. This gave me the chance to strike him with a kick on his side since he wasn’t balanced, which made him tip over.

He almost fell, but got up very quickly and tried to make me fall over by using his legs. I jumped over it as he regained his posture and stated throwing punches simultaneously towards me. I dodged the first few punches, but by the fourth one his fist collided with my jaw. I felt a stinging sensation that only grew worse as the punched increased.

I realized blood was dripping from my nose and lips down to the floor.

I quickly straightened my posture and caught him off guard my punching all the weak spots in a human, like his temple, ribs, throat, groin and knees.

On the last hit he fell on the ground completely. I jumped on the top of him locking his neck in a grip blocking all the air from his body.

Tap out. He quickly tapped 3 times on the floor without hesitation.

I stood up and heard everyone cheering. I looked back down to Xaver and he was trying to get up.

I extended my arm for him. He held mine, but then dragged me with him on the floor.

I laughed at his childish behavior. “You’re a great fighter.”

He chuckled while getting up. “You surprised me completely, you’re not only strong but also quick.”

Caleb, Nika, Jaxon, Aidan, Aki and a bunch of more people congratulated me.

Lance stood up and came over. “Its beginners luck. You won’t last 2 minutes in an actual attack. Xander was going easy on you.”

“Not cool man.” Aidan said as Lance left.

“Come on we have a trip tonight, were going to Italia!” Caleb screamed.

10 hours later

We got off the plane that just landed in Sicily, in the mafia’s private airport. We wre separated into 3 groups. Lance in his own car. Caleb, Aidan, Xaver and Jaxon together. Aki, Nika and I in the other.

I slept the entire away.

While I was haft asleep, I felt strong hand wrapped around me and carry me bridal style somewhere. I felt warmth radiating off of them, so I wrapped my arms around their neck and rested my head on their chest.

I was admiring the warmth I was getting from this person when I smelled a familiar scent. Mint and oak. But couldn’t decipher I was fast asleep when my body touched a soft surface.
