Hannah' Mafia Ordeal

HANNAH CASTELLO Being the daughter of one of the most powerful mafia bosses in New York, it was always hard for me to go anywhere without my bodyguards. The rebel in me would try to slip away from them from time to time but I would never fully succeed. Knowing the risk I will take with my strict father, gives me a certain thrill that most daughters would be too afraid of. I was always followed by large men in suits with guns. Not having a normal life has me craving freedom, even if it is just for a night out. So when my best friend, Emma, told me about the tickets she got to an exclusive club, I started to form MY escape plan. "Ezra!". "Yes, Miss Castello my head bodyguard replies" "I want to go to the mall, please get the car ready". "Sure, Miss." I quickly gather my things for the night and place them in my handbag. Over my sexy lace dress, I cover it with some other clothes so they won't suspect anything. I add some glasses and a wig as a disguise into my handbag and head for the door. I only succeeded in an escape once before. I was fifteen when I slipped my guard and ended up with a boy I liked from school. Hunter was the most popular, handsome young troublemaker in high school. I was just about to get a kiss from him when my guards burst into his bedroom and pulled me out of there. Hunter was instructed never to talk to me again or they would cut his eyes out. Needless to say, he never looked my way again. My father was so angry that he ordered more guards to my detail. If I dared to ask my parents if I could go out I would always get the same answer. The Kozlov family are dangerous people and would stop at nothing to end our family bloodline. Dimitri Kozlov is the Boss of the Russian Mafia Cartel. Even though Papa and Mr Kozlov agreed to stay away from each other, he still feared the day Kozlov would seek revenge for something he did twenty-three years ago. But this is ruining my life and I need to get out and enjoy being young. On the drive to the mall, I make conversation with Ezra just like I always do. "So Ezra, are you still not interested in getting married yet?" "No miss, you keep me busy enough" He has no emotion on his face but I could swear I could see a smirk coming through. "Oh, come on! You must get lonely sometimes." "I can assure you miss, I'm rarely alone" He says with a smirk on his face. One thing I love about Ezra is that he knows what a catch he is. Even as a teenager her friends would always joke around and flirt with him, trying to get his attention. It never worked, but they got some kick out of it. In the mall she went into some of her favorite shops and bought some frivolous things just to make it look normal and to waste some time. I received a message from Emma just as I had no more shoes to go to. I hand my shopping bags to one of the guards and walk toward the restroom. "Miss Costello, you can't use the public bathroom." "Ezra, I have to pee. If you have to, please scare away everyone there so I can go." Seeing the look on Ezra's face is priceless as he just nods for me to go in. As soon as I am in the bathroom I pull off the extra clothes. A group of girls are staring at me while I put on the wig and glasses. "Are you okay?" "Yes, thanks." "Are you in some kind of trouble?" "Actually, can you do me a favour?" "What's the favour?" "Could you ladies pretend to be my friends so I can get out of here unnoticed? "Okay, sure!" I grab the girl by the arm and leave behind my phone and other belongings so I can't be tracked. As we leave the restroom we are chatting away like we have been friends forever. I gave it my best British accent to make my voice sound different as we walked right past my guards. "Thanks for the help, girls." "Sure thing! Enjoy your freedom!" I ran towards the exit without looking back, when I spotted Em waiting in the parking lot. "Hannah! Come on girl, let's get out of here!" Just as I climb in the back seat, Ezra comes running out of the exit looking all over for me. I duck under the seats so he wouldn't see me. The adrenaline makes my legs numb. Once we are out of sight and unnoticed I get a not-so-familiar feeling... Freedom!
