Captured by The Mafia

Chapter 4

Alan's POV:

I made my way to my room after a little talk with Ms. William. She's a unique person. I've never felt so strongly drawn to someone in my life. Though I was never surrounded by a lot of girls in my life, I did have my fair share of them. But none of them could be like her. The majority of the women I met wanted to kill me or were killing for me, so I simply never liked them, but this one is different from the other girls I met.

She is so pure, and all I want to do is protect her from the dangerous world. Just one look at her and I'm lost in the most stunning green eyes I've ever seen.

I'm good at masking my emotions, but I can't seem to keep them under control in front of her. I was on the verge of kissing her but had to restrain myself. Her lavender fragrance was driving me insane. I want to have her by my side for the rest of my life. That, however, is not possible. She will refuse to be with me if she finds out that I am a mafia gang leader.

She's far too innocent for all of this. She was terrified when there were only a few gunshots fired and when I was yelling at her. That was, however, what drew me to her the most, her scared and innocent face.

But what she did was completely wrong. Trying to escape without informing me and lying to my men about it. She made a bad decision there.

As soon as I learned from my men that she lied to them and escaped from here, I had to call reception and ask them to stop the girl I had brought here if they saw her. I took the private elevator to the reception area and got her back.

Unfortunately, she was not Emerald as I had expected. There was no point in keeping her here and putting her life in danger any longer. But, being a curious person that she was, she wanted to know much more about the attack. I couldn't just tell her that they were attacking me because I was a mafia leader. So I just snapped at her out of frustration. When I saw that she was scared by my voice, I felt terrible and a little guilty for shouting at her.

"You can't just keep snapping around, Alan. Anyone else would have been just as curious as she is," my inner self said. I kept telling myself, "I need to be calm." I told her about my business, which is true. I didn't tell her about the mafia because I didn't want her to despise me or be afraid of me. I can't deny the fact that I want her to be by my side. I couldn't get her thoughts out of my head, but I can't be doing this.

First and foremost, I need to find Emerald and take her back with me, and then maybe I can think about this girl. Emerald is my top priority, but finding her has become extremely difficult. I have no idea how she looks right now. I only remember her having these unusual green eyes and some features of her face from when I first saw her as a child. I had thought she died in the fire along with her parents. But, after so many years, I got information that she is still alive and has been staying with a friend in San Diego since the incident. She had recently relocated to Los Angeles, and it was only then that we got to know she was still alive. She has been staying here with the same friend for about a year. What was her name, Angel..no... Angelina yes Angelina.

I dressed up in my three-piece suit for my meeting with Mr. Jackson about my company. Jamie, my partner in 'Crystals and Diamond,' is taking care of everything here in L.A., and my friend David is running the company's other branches most of the time. I sometimes meet with clients for major negotiations, and since I am here and Mr. Jackson is one of our most important clients, I decided to attend the meeting.

It had always been our dream to set up a business and run a company together.

Due to some circumstances, I am not able to focus on it for now. But one day, I'd want to leave this mess behind and work as the CEO of my company, focusing on its growth with Jamie and David. I walked out of the hotel with my men and David.

"Sir, we found someone who knows about Ms. Emerald Blooms, but he wants to meet with you in person and give you the details," John said as we walked out of the room for the meeting. David and I exchanged a glance.

"All right, get him to meet me tomorrow," I said.

"But, it could be a rival's plan," David said.

"It's possible, but it's also possible that he really knows about Emerald. I need to take the risk. This is the only way I'll be able to find her before anyone else," I tried to explain it to him.

The meeting with Mr. Jackson went well. Robert, one of my men, said Jack, the man who probably knows about Emerald, would meet me in a nearby club tomorrow evening. I returned to my hotel room and fell asleep. The next day, I went to the office to see how the work was going and returned quickly because it was time to meet Jack boy. I met him at the back of a club where most people would not go. At this hour of the night, it was completely silent.

"Sir, this file contains all of the information you need about Ms. Emerald Blooms." Jack said, showing me the file he was holding in his hands.

"Mr. Martin's men showed up to meet me to get the details. I managed to escape from them without telling them anything. But one of them is keeping an eye on me, and my life is in danger now. "Can you please help me?" he pleaded.

"Ok, Robert will take you to a safe place and ensure your safety." I assured him.

"Give me the file now " I said. I was getting impatient now.

Someone shot Jack through the head just as he was about to hand over the file. He was about to shoot me but was caught by my other men before he could do so. David was hiding with a few of my men so that they could protect me if anything went wrong. David pulled the man up to me and forced him to kneel.

"Where the f**k is Martin?" I asked, pressing the gun against his forehead.

"I don't know, and even if I did, I wouldn't have told you about him nonetheless," he said, laughing. I got even more furious with his attitude and shot him in the right leg, but he wouldn't stop. So, annoyed by his attitude, I fired a bullet straight through his head. At the same time, I heard a loud shouting voice coming from the other side of the road from behind me. I turned around to see Ms. William standing at the corner outside the bar's back entrance.

How does she always manage to be there when there is an attack? She began running back inside the club. I told John to go get her, and he rushed after her. I took the file from the ground to check it. The first thing I saw completely blew my mind. How is it even possible??? She was always around me and I never knew about it.
