OCTUPLETS FOR THE MAFIA BOSS

A DREAM COME THROUGH.

Alice spend the rest of her day inside her room and woke up the following day with a headache. She was still tossing on the mattress when her phone rang, and the call was from her friend who lives in the next state.

"I have good news for you," a feminine voice sounded from the other side of the line. "There is a vacancy for a bar attendant over here, and the salary is very juicy."

.

"This comes at a time when I need a job. But can it wait till next year? I want to spend my Christmas and new year's eve here."

"Sure, it can. The manager is my friend and will do whatever I want. But are you sure that you are coming? I won't be happy if you refuse to come after he reserved the post for you."

"Trust me, Betty. I will be there the second day of the new year."

"Okay, babe. I will call you back later... Merry Christmas and have a great celebration."

Her room was silent when the call was disconnected, and the lady peeked at the wall clock beside her bed.

"Haven't you woken up yet? I need you to go to the grocery store and buy the ingredients needed for the Christmas rice," a voice yelled from outside.

"A moment mum. I just woke up now," Alice moaned as she dragged her feet into the washroom.

She was busy through the day, and the memory of the stranger's hazel eyes only came to haunt her during her nighttime.

'I will love to see you again,' she muttered as sleep finally take hold of her.

Benny's compartment is sparsely furnished and filled with gadgets that are meant for the super-rich.

The mattress is large and king-size, and the rug on the floor is a masterpiece that cost a fortune. And to cap it all, a jacuzzi was fixed inside the restroom.

All her life, Benny had sought money and fame, and this luxury awaiting her was like a dream come through.

Because the window of her room faced the main gate, she was peeping through it when convoys of costly cars drove inside, and her eyes search for the mafia boss among them.

He had promised to check on her and had remained invincible after.

Though the wall clock shows it's already the birth of a new day, Benny realized she won't be able to sleep until Banjo tells her the reason why she is here.

A moment later, she was still peeking out of the window and was unaware when the door to her room opened, nor hear the footsteps that walked closer.

"What are you looking for?"

Her breath froze when the familiar voice sounded behind her back.

"Stop sneaking on me... Why don't you knock on the door before coming inside?"

"Because I met the door opened, and also because this is my house," Banjo gawked at Benny's transparent nightie, and was about to comment, then decided against it.

"You are free to say what is in your mind," Benny who seemed to be aware of his hot gaze over her body muttered, and then asked after, "you are yet to tell me why I am here."

Banjo sat on the cushion beside the bed and then motioned to Benny to seat on the mattress.

"I was drunk and mistook you for a call girl. So I think it's right if I get married to you," Banjo announced as his eyes roamed over the body of the lady in her front. "I was too intoxicated to remember how you look like, so I had imagined seeing a petite lady, but-."

"But what?"

"Forget it. I saw you peeping from the window and knew you aren't asleep. You don't have to wait for me, I sometimes sleep outside," Banjo mumbled, and gave a loud yarn after. "And get dressed as early as possible tomorrow morning. I need to introduce you to the rest of the family."

"You still haven't told me the reason why you want me here."

"I already did. Please excuse me," Banjo mumbled with a smile, stood up and said, "have a great night's rest, Miss Benny O'Brien."

Benny watched him go. Deep inside, she wishes to run after him and beg him to spend the night in his arms. Yet, she realised such action may spell doom if her s****l advancement is rebuffed.

'I need to be careful when seducing him, his eyes seemed to notice everything,' she mumbled as she close her eyes and was lost in her fantasy until daybreak.

The beeping notifications on her phone pulled her out of sleep, and she gasped at the thousands of new followers on her page.

'Keep drooling, I still have more surprise packages for you guys.'

After basking in the exhilaration of her sudden link to wealth and power, the thought of poor Alice flowed into her mind, and Benny decided to give her a call, at least for friendship's sake.

"Hello, Benny. It's good to hear your voice. And thank you for your help," Alice's voice boomed from the other side of the line, paused for a while, and then resumed after, "the cash came at the right time, and my Christmas won't be as miserable as I had earlier imagined."

"It's okay, babe. What are friends for? Did you hear from Danny?"

"Yeah. He was chatting when your call entered."

"You need to hold onto that guy. He may be poor, but he is strong, ambitious and determined. I am sure he will be rich one day."

"Oh... Danny is not that kind of a guy. His dream in life is to live in the countryside and tend to his cows."

"He loved you. I can feel this in his voice whenever he called. Don't miss a good guy because he is poor."

"I can't believe this is coming from my friend. What has come over you? Benny. Where is your doctrine of money before love?"

"I have grown, Alice. I have now realised money is not everything."

"Oh... That sound strange from your mouth. Where are you? I want us to meet before I travel to Orange County."

"What are you going to do over there?"

"You remembered my childhood friend that worked over there?"

"Betty. Did she finally get you a job?"

"You bet. Can we meet before I go?"

"Though I am busy at the moment, I will find time to check on you," Benny announced and quickly disconnect the call.

'Good thing she will be leaving this city soon,' Benny muttered and was lost in thought after. 'Let Alice get married to his poor boyfriend, while I enjoy luxury here.'

The creaking sound of the opening door pulled her out of her reverie, and the hazel eyes boring into her made her leapt out of the mattress.

"What the fuck... Are you still in bed? Get your fat arse into the bathroom, or I will drag you inside now."
