The Mafia King's Thief

Surprises

Elayne’s POV

I’m currently at that phase in life where something is bothering the hell out of me. Sure, I’ve been bothered by things in the past, but none as great as the one currently making me feel uneasy.

It’s been two days since Shania said they’d been trying to reach him and till today, they have still not been able to get to him. I know that s**t like this is not supposed to bother me since I hate the man with a passion, but when you just can't help but let things be the way they want to be, this is what happens.

He gave me his credit card and the account is loaded with so much f*****g money. I should be going on shopping sprees, visiting different designer stores. f**k it, I can even get myself a phone–silly and foolish of me to never have thought of that till now and I’ve had this credit card for more than one week. I need to learn to use my brain well. Anyway, I decide to go out and get myself a phone and a sim card even though I don’t really know how to go about that–this is a different country and things are done differently.

I borrow Shania’s phone and begin to look for nearby stores where phones are sold.

While I’m going through the list and ratings, the phone rings and I get really anxious.

The caller ID says ‘boss’ and that sort of makes me crease my brows because what the actual f**k?

I don’t pick. I continue to look for available stores and the phone rings again with the same number calling.

I answer the phone but I don’t say anything and that’s when his voice pierces through the line.

“I told you not to do anything silly. Tell me why you want to get a new phone?”

I’m in shock and I can’t even force myself to utter a single word.

“E-Excuse me?” I finally say after moments of being silent.

“Don’t test the waters. Don’t get a new phone.” He says and ends the call and all I can do in response is to sit down and look for a long time, the phone still in my hand. I don’t even have the courage to go back to what I was doing before because now I’m sure that he’s truly watching me.

I hear Shania’s voice, she’s calling me and that’s when it occurs to me. I should delete the call from the call history else, she’ll be able to figure it all out. That still doesn’t help my shock.
