Falling for obsessed mafia leader

Prank

Mr. Mysterious turn to see they are in front of the subway. He gets down and removes his helmet and places it in front of her. He grabs Zoey’s hand in his.

She tried to pull away, which was useless because of the grip. He leaned in toward her ear and whispered “You shouldn’t open that door then. Now I want you to open your heart for me. Tesoro mio”.

Zoey flinched at his words and pushed him away from her. Before she said anything, there was a black kia seltos car parked in front of her bike.

Mr. Mysterious chuckled as he let her hand and “Nice to meet you, love. I’m Lorenzo Morelli, and also called ‘Leader of the Italian Mafia’. Meet you soon” he said as he got into the car in front of her.

Zoey was shocked to look at the car that went away from her.

‘No, it can’t be true’ she said to herself as she looked in the direction of Mr. Mysterious, no Lorenzo's car went. ‘It must be a prank’ she thinks herself as start her bike to went home.

On her way home, she keeps thinking about the words he says.

She shook her head and went into the garage near her stores and parked her bike. And close the garage and walk on the stairs which to her home.

When she renovates her store, she builds a small garage with stairs which leads to the second floor, to get home without going into the store. She scanned her finger in the door lock and went inside to see a blue eye turn to look at her from the couch says “your late”.

Zoey turned to see a clock in the hallway which showed 7pm.

“You missed our show mom,” Lily said as she looked back at the TV.

“Oh, sorry baby, let me take a shower, then you can tell me what happens when I make dinner” Zoey ruffles lily’s hair as she kisses her forehead.

Then she went to her room and lay on her bed and looked at the ceiling as think about Lorenzo, did he prank her? or is it true?

She sighs as she gets up from her bed and removes her jacket. She took her phone from her jacket, placed it on her bed and went to take a shower. After 10 mins of cold shower, she wears her pajamas.

And went to the kitchen to make dinner for her and Lily. She listens to Lily told about the story of TV show she missed out on as she cooks. They took food to their kitchen island and began to eat.

“Our school plan to take our class to art galleries in northern cities next month, Mom.” Lily says.

“But it took a day to reach there?” Zoey asks her.

“Yeah Mom. It’s a week's trip, and we have to sign in before next week” Lily lowly.

Little did Lily know she couldn’t go, because Zoey wouldn’t let her be away from her for a day. Zoey thought deeply as she finished her food and placed her plates in the dishwasher. Lily did the same. Then they both clean up in silence.

But Zoey's mind is full of what Lily says. She wants to say no, but Lily loves Arts, so she isn’t able to say no to her. She thinks about what she will do without Lily for a week.

After cleaning, lily hugged her mother and said good night and went back to her room. Zoey went to her room after turning off the lights in the living room and kitchen. She lay on her bed and thinking about what she should say.

Then pick her phone from bed and open her gallery which is full of lily photos. She looks at the photo they took last week when Lily won first prize in the interschool art competition.

She went back to the text app and sent a text to Lily saying ‘I will think about it’ and placed her phone on bed.

‘Thanks mom’ She heard Lily's voice from the next room.

She smiled as she got up and went to take her used clothes to wash. Before she put her jacket in the washer, there was a card that fell down from the pocket. She picked that black card from the ground and saw a letter L written in bold in golden color in the middle.

She turns the card to see Lorenzo Morelli written in italic in golden with his phone number. She looks at names which get her back to the time she spent with Lorenzo.

She laid on her bed as holding that card on her hand. She thinks about everything happens since she met Lorenzo.

She never been close with any man more than 10 minutes for last ten years. But today she been with Lorenzo for an hour.

At first, she really frightens by him, but she didn’t know what make her to be calm with him for an hour.

She starts to feels scared about the thing he says as he introduces himself. She hopes its might a prank.

‘yellow. I’m sorry.’
