Deal with the mysterious mafia

𝐶𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑛𝑖𝑎 𝑈𝑛𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦, 𝐿𝑜𝑠 𝐴𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑠. Annalise walked through the hallway, her eyes on her phone. She didn't know when she bumped into someone. "I'm sorry, sorry" she immediately apologized and continued walking, but she was dragged back by her hair. "Ouch" she winced in pain, turning around, her heart immediately went to her throat as she stared at them, the college's most popular girls. The CEO's daughters of California University Los Angeles, Charlotte, Emma and Olivia, the richest female students, the hottest, the sexiest with long legs and big boobs. "You didn't just bump into me, you also have the nerve to stare at me without apologizing, you short witch" Charlotte glared, tightening her grip on Annaliese's hair. "I said I'm sorry" Annalise winced more in pain as tears stung her eyes. Someone suddenly held Charlotte's hands. Charlotte looked up. "That's enough" the person said, and Charlotte laughed mockingly. "Layla no" Annalise whispered. "What do you think you're doing to her?," Layla asked. Layla, Anna's bestie. "Wow the guts" Emma laughed, grabbing Layla's hair too. "She said there's no need for violence" Layla said. "Violence is our world", Olivia responded. "But peace is the best, peace and violence are two different words and two different worlds, like life and death, uh wisdom and foolishness". Pin drop silence. "Are you saying we're foolish?" Charlotte asked. "Something like that," Layla replied with an innocent face. "You..." Charlotte made to grab Layla but the electric bell rang. "Hey, what are you girls still doing out here? Hurry and get to class". It was a professor. "Yes sir!!" Layla and Anna chorused, running to class immediately to escape Charlotte and her cohorts. They stopped beside their class. "That was a close one," Layla said, breathing hard. "I know right, why did you even come? It's not like you're strong or something," Anna said, laughing hard. "I can't just watch them bully you," Layla replied. "You're crazy". "Only when it comes to protecting you my bestie" Layla smiled, ruffling Anna's hair, she was a bit taller. "Don't mock me" Anna pouted. "Let's go to class, we'll go get ice cream after class". Annalise smiled immediately. "Deal?" She brought out her hand. "Deal" Layla took her hand, "only if you hook me up with that hot cousin of yours". Annalise groaned. "Get over him already, it's been years". "Never, he occupies a special place in my heart". "You're hopeless". "I know that already". . . . Zane walked straight into his office after the one-hour board meeting he had just had, he loosened his tie and opened the first three buttons of his shirt, exposing his broad chest and white neck. He heard a knock on the door of his office, and it opened almost immediately. Cindy, his secretary, came in. "Sir, Mr. Evan has been calling, and he insists on talking to you". "Give me the phone" Zane stretched his hand and Cindy placed a phone in his hand. "Uncle" "Why haven't you been picking up your phone?" That wasn't his uncle's voice, it was his mom's. "I was busy" "You're always busy. Anyway, come home for dinner tomorrow night and make sure you're there", his mom said, and hung up the call. Cindy took the phone and walked out. Zane groaned and roughed his black hair. . . "Daddy, daddy I'm home" Annalise announced. She struggled to switch and turn the lights on, she kept the groceries she had in her hand on the table before going to the kitchen. "Anna?" She heard her dad call. "Daddy, see what I brought?" Her dad, Smith, smiled sadly. "Layla bought them," Annalise said again. "Wow, that's so kind of her" Smith said. "Get dressed, we're going somewhere". "Where?" "The mall, we're going for a visit tomorrow night for dinner at an old friend's place". "Where did the money come from?" "Stop asking questions and let's go"... Smith took Annalise in his car, which he used as a taxi, to the nearby mall. Annalise's jaw dropped in shock. "Dad, this is the most expensive mall in Los Angeles, why are we here?" "To shop, I want to spoil my daughter today, is it a bad thing?" "No, it's just weird" Annalise smiled awkwardly. She sensed something was wrong, but she didn't know what. "Go to any section of your choice and pick anything you want; shirts, pants, skirts, even undies". "Dad" Annalise pushed her dad and walked away. "Hey, I'm your father and I saw everything when you were a baby," Smith said. "That was when I was a baby" Annalise mimicked before walking to the female section. Smith smiled as he stared at her retreating back, who knew his little Anna would grow so fast. His phone rang in his pocket, he searched for it and answered the call. "Hello" "Where are you both?" "We're at the mall, she's picking some things up". "Great, make sure she has everything she'll need". "Sure, thank you" he said and hung up the call. He exhaled and stared ahead at his baby. . . .

The hall became filled with screams, loud screams from girls to be precise. Aahhhh!!! It's Zane Adler. Ohhh he's so hot!! Zane, look at me please. Zane, a night stand only please. Zane ignored all the screams, walking majestically ahead with his long legs, he was in his white shirt with three buttons undone exposing his broad white chest, straight black pants and black suit jacket. "Ah it's Zane!! " Layla screamed so loudly that Annalise flinched. "Who's Zane and why are you screaming like that?" Annalise asked. "Zane Adler, you don't know Zane Adler is the richest and youngest most handsome man in Los Angeles. You don't know that Zane?" "No, and by the way, that's a ridiculous name". Anna shook her head and turned to go, but her head hit a large wall. No, that wasn't a wall. Slowly she looked up, no it really wasn't a wall, it was a really handsome human with a cute face that Anna had an urge to touch. The hallway was silent, not even a drop of a pin could be heard, not even breaths or heartbeats, it seemed like everyone held their breaths. "You're staining my shirt with your breath young lady," Zane said in his deep cold voice. "Huh?" Annalise asked with open eyes. "Move away" Zane said again. "Oh" Annalise nodded and wanted to move away, but he placed his index finger on her forehead, pushing to a side before moving away. "Hey!!" Annalise shouted. Everyone sucked in their breath again "why'd you push me like I was some kind of trash". "Aren't you?" Zane raised a brow. Annalise's eyes twitched in anger. "It's alright, handsome celebrity, my friend here is a little tipsy so she's not in her right frame of mind," Layla said, smiling at Zane, who rolled his eyes and made to walk away again. Annalise pushed Layla aside, ran towards Zane, she stepped on his black spotless shoes. Everyone gasped loudly, she stuck out her tongue at him before running fast, as fast as her short legs could carry her. Who is she? Totally done for a scholarship student to be precise? Totally out.
