Mafioso's Little Raven

Chapter One

He was once again lurking at the back of her house, watching the dim-lit windows. He told himself times without number not to come, not to stand at the hood of his car like a love-sick fool, not to stand at her window, watching, waiting for just a glimpse of her. Just one glimpse of her was what he wanted. Sometimes he was lucky, sometimes he wasn’t, still he kept coming back. A movement drew his attention and he nearly leapt across the bushels and up her window, if only to see more of her, it took serious amount of willpower to restrain his urges.

“Soon,” he said to himself. “It won’t be long now, just for a little while.”

LILY.

The name of the girl he had been stalking for almost two years now since her picture, since he bargained for her for far more than the price he was given by the useless piece of s**t who calls himself her brother. From that moment he’d been entranced by her, by the low gentle light of hers still hasn’t been snuffed out by the cruelty she’d faced at the pack of wolves she called a family.

It would be over soon, He’ll make sure of it, his little raven would not have to put up with it any longer, just a few more days and she would be his and Lord help anyone who would stand in his way, even the devil himself wouldn’t dare.

A glance at his watch told him he has spent more time here, past the time he had arranged with the local night guards, they would soon come checking, he had to leave but not before he dropped his usual present for her, with a note of what was to come, because it would happen as long as he had breath in him and even in the beyond. Lily belonged to him and he would have her, she was his and no one else’s

Lily

The cold breeze that drafted into my room made me realize that I had left the windows open again. It’s funny how I never forgot to lock my bedroom doors with locks and bolts to prevent my brothers from coming in, yet I’d somehow always forget to lock my windows, judging from how airy the room was, I had left it open for a long time…. Again. I wrapped the sheets around myself and shivered at the cold breeze as I made to lock the windows and froze.

He was here again.

My heart stopped for a brief moment and began racing again, the sound loud in my ears. I knew I shouldn’t reach out to it, I should just throw it out the windows and pretend I didn’t see it, but I couldn’t, just as I couldn’t ignore the previous ones, with shaky fingers I grabbed them.

A single black rose tied to red parcel. The black rose were a usual sight I had grown used to them and the letters and oh the presents too, last I had gotten a pen knife with a small note to scratch my brothers eyes out with it they next time they treated her like trash as well as a promise that it wouldn’t be long for them to be together.

What would it be this time, I opened the parcel and gasped. It was a small silver bracelet encrusted with diamonds with an engraving on the band, R.D’s Property. I should be offended at the blatant show of male chauvinism, but oh they were so beautiful especially with the way, they sparked in the glow of the moonlight.

The note said

When I first saw the diamonds, all I could think about were your eyes, they way they glowed and sparkle when you’re animated with someone and I wished I was the one you turned those sparkle on. I also have to admit that the diamonds and silver also made me think of how your eyes would turn to shining slits when I eventually have you moaning and screaming my name. Ensure you wear my gifts always, little raven. I’ll be bloody pissed if you didn’t and trust me you don’t want to see my pissed of , do dream od me when you sleep and remember, you are my property.

Yours,

R. D

R.D, that was the only thing I knew about him the man who stalked my day and my nights, even my dreams weren’t unaffected. R.D the man who left me roses and little gifts almost every night at my windows, from sweets to cake to things I needed at school, he had even gotten me a pack of Tampons as well, I definitely didn’t want to find out how he knew about that.

I should be afraid, I should report him to the proper authorities and have them deal with it once and for all, because he was insane, well so am I, because even amidst everything, despite my mind yelling at me to do the right thing, I moved to the wardrobe and laid the black rose among the others that had withered away, the note among where the other notes were stacked neatly according to the order I received them. The bracelet I wore as I made for my bed, because even in the midst of everything, I was waiting for him as well.

R.D

I have a feeling my 18th birthday was going to bring out a whole new change that I wasn’t sure I was prepared for, but one thing is clear, I was going to be at the center of it.
