I Want Her Badly

Fun

CHAD POV:

I am a bastard. Cruel to myself,right. My father,Felix Russo was a politician, who rose fast to the rank of Mayor in a very powerful city. My mother was my father's secretary when he was still finding his feet. She was there through all his troubles and trials. They never married but my mom Elena got pregnant. Afraid of the position he will be in, my father sent her away and told her she should never come near him again. Four years later, my mom died of cancer and my grandmother angrily dropped me at Felix's doorstep. She left me in his hands. Felix couldn't abandon me, but he didn't take care of me either.

Felix had married a very powerful politician's daughter Melissa Keller, whose father was the leader of the English Mafia. Therefore, making him the next leader. Melissa was very angry when she found out about me so she begged her father to kill me. When her father Chris saw me, he instantly took a liking to me and decided to take me under his wing. Chris was the only one who actually cared about him. Melissa was afraid her child would not inherit the mafia. She tried and is still trying various attempts to kill him. All this while Felix didn't do anything. I grew up hating my father and step mom.

Chris loves me .He took care of him and trained me . I grew in every aspect. I grew so skilled that I became known as GHOST.

I really wasn't in a good mood so I just decided to skip school and kept thinking about the past. One of the boys had died yesterday night. You will think I would love death by now but I loathed it. I was sorry because Xander wanted to introduce me to his best friend. Xander was a good friend of mine . I avoided people but I couldn't avoid Xander. He was annoying, but he was still a friend. I called him to let him know that I won't be coming to school today. Xander was pissed.

He shouted at me because he wanted to introduce his best friend. I just let him shout. After he calmed down, he said I must come to the party at Claire's house this evening . I thought about Claire and I was disgusted, she was always trying to get me to sleep with her, she was a classic slut. I wondered how Jarvis tolerated her. I sighed and agreed because it was a fair deal. He ended the call.

I just chuckled. He talked about this his best friend a lot. He said she was from France or some place, I can't really remember. I was just so frustrated so I drove to my penthouse and went straight to the gym. I punched out all my sadness, anger, frustration. I didn't know how long I was there until I saw that it was noon.

I called my stepsister, Scarlet and asked her if she wanted to have lunch. She was squealing in the phone. "I will pick you up by 1,be ready", I told her. She said okay and cut the call. My guess was that she was going to get ready(by showering for 30mins and makeup for another 30 minutes). Girls are so strange.

I have never been attracted to a girl except one. I sighed at the memory. It was during a masquerade ball. It was a neutral ground so all mafia lords attended. It was located in Greece. The purpose of the ball was to create alliances, create and repay favours and ask for information. Everyone wore a mask including me(I wore a mask everytime),it was convenient because you don't want to expose your outside life to people. I was bored out of my mind. People were just coming to confirm if I was the legendary GHOST.

Chris was the main person talking I was just answering questions robotically and zoning out often. I came back from the imaginary land I was in when I heard somebody say,"it is great that we have the legendary GHOST and twins DEVIL and TEMPTRESS". I was surprised because they never really attended balls. I had heard numerous stories about them but I had never met them. People usually say I am better than them even though I have never actually met them. I was suddenly interested in meeting them.

I asked Chris if they were really here and he confirmed it. I was about to suggest that we meet them but he beat me to it. "It's about time we introduce ourselves,after all they are the next leaders of the French mafia". We started making our way towards them. On our way one of our group members Drake said,"I wonder how their father had the heart to train them to be killers at such a young age, after all they are his only children".

Before any of us could voice a reply, someone from our group exclaimed," oh my God,is that TEMPTRESS?", with his jaw hanging open. Others looked and simultaneously let out a gasp. I finally followed their line of sight and I paused.

I suddenly couldn't breathe,I was staring at a goddess. She was standing and talking with a muscular guy who I assumed was her brother. They were standing near their group. She wore a delicately woven silver mask,with a red halter gown which had a teasing neckline with slits around the gown living little to imagination. I gulped and tried to regain my composure. I realized we were not the only people staring. Men ogled her while women envied her.

Chris nudged us and we continued towards them when we reached Chris brought forward his hand to shake their father the head of the French mafia. He said"long time no see my friend", and laughed. The revered head of the French mafia ( DON), chuckled and shook his hand. In a deep voice replied," I see old age is catching up with you". Chris said,"I could say the same for you,I see you brought your children". "Yes, yes",he motioned for them both to come ,as they came I didn't notice I had stopped breathing. I wasn't paying attention to what they were saying because I was staring at her.

He introduced them to Chris before finally diverting his attention to me. " So ,is the GHOST I hear frequently about", he brought out his hand for me to shake and I shook him. I replied," it's an honor to meet you,sir". He laughed and said," stop it, just call me DON, you make me sound like an old man". His son scoffed and I refrained myself from laughing. I noticed him sending his son a deathly glare. "Let me introduce my children to you, you have already heard of the them. The son took out his hand to shake me as we shook hands,I briefly studied him. He was muscular, not too large, he looked handsome, I was definite he was a charmer even though I had heard from his reputation. He said," it's nice to make your acquaintance". Brief , I like him already. I then directed my attention to HER. She gave me her hand to shake and I took it and brought it to my lips, kissing it softly. "It is a pleasure to meet you, my lady",I told her. She then nodded and directed her attention away from me and walked towards the bar. I saw her brother fixing me a glare. Protective, I see and smirked. To say I was shocked was an understatement. She didn't even reply me!.

I felt rejected,was she really made of stone?. Meanwhile, Chris and Don went to talk about business. Our group started talking about her and I should say that's how the evening went.

I realized it was already ten minutes to 1. I rushed downstairs to my car and made for her house which was supposed to be "our" house but I certainly didn't mind. Scarlett is and always has been homeschooled all her life. Her mother was too protective for more reasons than one. I got to the gate and as soon as they saw my car they let me in. I honked for her and within seconds I saw her strolling towards me. I swore under my breath because she had overdressed(come on, it was only lunch).

She entered the passenger seat and squealed hugging me. I smiled because I had really missed her. "It has been too long,C",she said and pouting, "didn't you want to see me?". I hurriedly looked for an answer before she starts crying. She is a very good drama queen (but her mother is the best of the best). "Scar",I took her hand ,"Of course I missed you,I have just been busy with work".

She glared at me before smiling and asking where we were going. I sighed in relief, sometimes I think she is bipolar. She can't stay in one emotion for long but the doctor says she's fine. I told her we were going to MacDonald and she turned up the radio and I Don't Care by Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber came on. She started singing and I smiled and started singing with her.

When we reached a red light, the people in the vehicle beside us stared at us as if we were crazy. When suddenly, one shouted, "nice chick". I glared at him in anger and Scarlett started laughing. When the light showed green, I sped off. Scarlett laughed harder and said,"C, I know you are protective but what will you do when I get a boyfriend". I replied her sternly ,"You will get your first boyfriend when you turn 22. He will then have to court you for at least 2 years before marriage.

The same goes for the remaining so called "boyfriends" no matter who they are". She stared at me in horror, "you are joking, right?". I didn't answer because we had already reached the restaurant. I got out and she got out staring at me waiting for an answer. I locked the car and hugged her, "I missed you, Scar".

She awwed and said she missed me too. She forgot about the topic not knowing I was serious. I smiled and led her inside. We chose a booth at the back,so I could see outside clearly and keep my eye on my baby (B,my car). I love that car. It is a blue Lamborghini,that is personally designed the way I want.

The waiter came and took our orders. I then asked Scar what was wrong with her. She replied guiltily "What do you mean?". I replied, "normally,by now you would have blown my head away with your talking". "I do not!",she said touching her chest as if I had offended her(as I said,Drama Queen). I stared her down and she finally gave up. " I want to go to school". I was surprised,"where did this come out from". The waiter brought our orders and I payed him with a good tip.

She sighed and continued," it has always been somewhere in my head, I just want to experience the real world starting with high school. I told Mom about it and she got angry and told me I should never speak of school again. Dad is never home. I just don't know what to do. Mom just has this fantasy of me taking over the mafia one day and I am sick of it. It's as if me being at home is preparing me for the position. Let's be truthful , I have been trained to protect myself but I am not mafia material talk less of leadership.Besides you are a better leader, after all you are the legendary GHOST.".

She looked at me lost and I felt bad. I then told her,"let me talk to Chris, he is the only one able to talk sense into Melissa". She looked at me and her face lighted up like a Christmas tree."Thank you, how could I not think of Grandpa,C , you are the best". I laughed and we finished our food updating each other off what has been going on in each other's lives. I took her home,watched some TV and prepared for tonight's party.

I took B and the chaffeur came and took my car,I didn't need to tell him anything because I was a regular visitor here. I got inside the house and was welcomed to the familiar scenery of a party. I made my way over to the group. Xander saw me and gave me a bro hug. I greeted the boys including Jarvis. The boys were telling me what I missed in school also informing me about Xander's best friend and twin brother. They labelled both of them "HOT". Xander then saw them and went to bring them over.

My jaw fell because I was in awe. The entire room noticed them coming behind Xander. Peter elbowed me and said I told you so. They looked as if they came out of a magazine. Xander brought them and introduced me and being the gentleman I was introduced myself. She sat beside me and we engaged in conversation for a while, we danced overall I acted like a gentleman all night while keeping it in my pants.

We danced and I took her home,gave her my t-shirt to sleep in. I went to my room, and I could not stop myself from thinking about her. I was relieved,I had gotten over TEMPTRESS or so I thought. I slept off with a smile. Overall, I had FUN today.
