The Mafia Boss's s*x Maid

Chapter 20: Collateral

The meeting had gone well, Stefan had wined and dined the investor into investing more capital than he had originally planned into one of Stefan's hundreds of companies.

Stefan was in a good mood as he made his way into the club because of his successful meeting and thinking about the pleasurable evening he had ahead of him torturing the thief in the club basement made him smile even more.

" Boss." Marcus nodded respectfully as he opened Stefan's office door for him then followed him inside.

Stefan took off his expensive coat and threw it on the back of the chair before he sat down, " Has our little thief sobered up ?" 

" Yes Boss, as you instructed he is sober and the information you requested about his associates and family are on your desk, shall I go and get the thief for you ?" Marcus asked 

" Thank you for your efficiency, give me an hour I want to read over the files so I can get to know everything about his associates and family first, I want to torture him mentally with the knowledge I am going to kill them all after I have tortured him physically of course," Stefan smirked.

Marcus nodded his understanding " Of course Boss I understand I will come back in an hour then, do you need anything before I go ?" 

" No thanks, Marcus,"  Stefan said picking up the first file.

" Oh wait I am such a d**k, I forgot to ask  how did your date go ?" Stefan asked

Marcus smirked " Good enough for a second date Boss." 

" That's great Marcus it'll be good for you to date a respectable woman for once rather than one of the whores from the club, eventually a man has to stop f*****g around and look for a woman with wife material," Stefan said.

" That's good advice Boss thanks. She is a good woman and I think she does have wife material." Marcus smiled.

" I am glad Marcus you deserve that," Stefan said.

" So do you boss and I hope you find a good woman too," Marcus said before taking his leave.

Stefan had spent thirty minutes reading through the complete files of Jason's waste of space associates, as expected they were all unemployed losers with drug or alcohol problems and a criminal record that put some of his men's records to shame. 

Stefan poured himself another glass of whiskey, he had read threw all the files of Jason's associates and he was about to move onto the singular file on his family. 

'Let's see what other scum are members of the thieving Thompson family' Jason thought as he picked up the file, but as he opened the page he was pleasantly surprised the only family member Jason had was an eighteen-year-old sister. 

Since witnessing his father's cruelty against his mother from a young age Stefan swore an oath that when he took over his Fathers empire from the young age of fifteen, that he would change the culture of the London Mob from being a violent free for all and he introduced a sort of criminal moral code that women and children were not to be victims - where possible of the crimes his men committed, so the thought of killing an innocent eighteen-year-old girl didn't sit well with him especially as he read through her file and found out she was practically a saint. 

The girl along with the thief had lost her mother at a young age - something he could relate to, she volunteered here in London in homeless shelters and despite working in a dead-end low paid job according to her bank statements she still gave money every month to cancer research in honour of her mother, according to background check she had never been in trouble with the law and the descriptions of her character his men had gotten from ex neighbours all described her as a kind and shy girl, he was feeling more guilty about his plan to kill her with every word he read. However, as he turned to the last page with her last known address and a recent picture all thoughts of killing the girl evaporated quickly.

Stefan stared in shock at the photograph of the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

She had knee-length golden blonde hair that fittingly, given her character references seemed to glow like a halo. Her eyes were alight baby blue and framed by thick surprisingly dark lashes and her eyes as well as being stunningly beautiful reflected a kind and innocent look, her lips were red in the photo and looked so full he automatically imaged kissing them. Her face was innocent looking with well-defined cheekbones and in the photo, she seemed to be laughing and he had an unexplained desire to hear her laugh to see if it sounded as sweet and angelic as she looked. 

He wished his Private investigator took a full-length photo of her rather than one of her sitting down at what looked like a coffee shop, as he wished he could see if her figure was as appealing as he imaged, dam photographer he thought as he stared at the photo of the beauty a little longer. He didn't know why but there was something about her apart from her obvious beauty that interested him and he was drawn to her in a way he had never been to any of the women he had been intimate with- and there was plenty of them; Maybe he thought it was because she was the type of girl he had told Marcus to find 'a respectable woman with wife potential' unlike the whores he usually f****d. 

Stefan sighed no matter how drawn he was to her a respectable girl like that would never be interested in a billionaire criminal like him, she was not a gold digger who would be after his money and she would be too pure to be involved in his dark world and tempted by the power he could offer her. She would never be his he knew but he still felt a strange connection to her and he couldn't bring himself to hurt her- although Jason didn't need to know that he thought darkly.

He sat at his desk rereading the file of the woman he had learned was called Lilly, ' what an innocent and sweet name, it suits her' he thought as he read everything about her the file had written for the tenth time- he was definitely becoming obsessed but he could never have her or even meet her, what was he meant to say if he ever met her, ' hi, I am Stefan Marconi London's most feared and ruthless Mob Boss, oh and I also murdered your brother, do you fancy a drink?' Stefan sighed as he realized how ridiculous it was for him to keep lusting after a woman he could never meet. " Boss?" Marcus asked as he stood in front of Stefan waving at him.

" Where the f**k did you come from, do you just walk into my office without knocking now?" Stefan asked snapping out of his daydream and annoyed his friend caught him in a daydream like a schoolboy with a crush.

" I did knock, three times actually but when you didn't answer and when your bodyguards outside said you were still in your office... well I was worried, I can see now though I had no need to be as you are perfectly fine apart from being a little flushed in the cheeks," Marcus smirked and teased his friend slightly sensing he was not in a bad mood and it was safe to do so.

" I am a Mobster Marcus, Mobsters don't blush... but thanks for your concern," Stefan replied amused and in the mood for a little friendly banter with the only person in the world who could speak to him like that without having his tongue cut out.

"  Speaking of Mobsters shall I get the thief brought to you so you can deliver some Mobster justice?" Marcus asked and Stefan paused for a brief second thinking about Lilly. " Yeah bring him up."

A short while later Jason now sobered up was dragged into Stefan's office and threw harshly on the floor.

" Please... please I can get you the money I swear..." Jason begged as Stefan stalked towards him with the deadly strides of a predator zoning in on its prey.

" Shut up you bastard ... how dare you steal from me! I am the f*****g king of London's underworld and  NO ONE gets away with stealing from me!"  Stefan hissed as he viciously kicked Jason over and over again only stopping when he was out of breath and Jason started to cough up blood.

Jason was curled on the floor in pain as Stefan walked over to his bar and made himself a drink.

" You know what they do in some countries to thieves Jason... they cut off their hands," Stefan said downing the last of his drink and nodding to his men who grabbed Jason off the floor and pinned him to the desk with his hand outstretched. 

" NO!! Please!!" Jason screamed knowing what was coming next.

Stefan walked towards Jason who was thrashing wildly trying to shake Stefan's men off him and accepted the large knife one of his men offered but as he was about to bring the knife down to deliver justice Mobster style Lilly's photo caught his eye and he paused staring at her photo.

Jason who was begging for mercy in vain suddenly stopped and followed Stefan's gaze and looked at the photo of his sister in shock. " Ah I see you stopped begging for your own worthless life now you've seen that I know where your sister lives, it's a shame I have to kill such a ... beautiful woman but hey I have to set an example." Stefan lied in a voice heavy with lust mistaking Jason's shock for brotherly concern.

Jason, however, heard the lust in Stefan's voice and came up with a scheme to saves his life, " I can get your money ... and I will get my sister to come to you as collateral to prove I intend on making good on my promise!" Jason screamed as Stefan brought the knife down but at his offer of his sister for collateral he suddenly stopped.

" You would offer your sister as collateral... knowing I will kill her or worse if you don't make good on your promise? And you can get her to come to me willingly? " Stefan asked tempted by the prospect of having Lilly with him willingly.

" Yes we are very close and she will do ANYTHING  to save my life and of course I will make good on my promise and not risk my baby sisters life." Jason used his years of experience to lie convincingly.

Stefan thought about it briefly before coming to a verdict, " Okay then your sister is a beautiful woman so spending a few days in her company whilst you get my money is a deal I can agree too. If you come back in a week as promised with my money I will break both of your legs and take your hand as punishment but you will be allowed to live and your sister will go free and if you don't my men, who will be trailing you closely will bring you back to the club where I will kill you painfully and your sister too. Do we have a deal ?" Stefan asked looking at the pathetic excuse of a man who was pinned against his desk crying.

" Yes, thank you, Sir ... I won't let you down I promise ." Jason gushed relieved trying to figure out how he would find his sister and trick her into agreeing to come back willingly with him but Stefan's next words took away some of his worries.

" Of course i don't trust you not to try and run away with your sister so my men will drive you to hers to collect her and will take her back here if she agrees to your terms and then they will take you home as i don't want to see face in my club again unless your handing me my money or you've been brought here for your execution, do you understand?" Stefan in a tone that reflected his feelings of disgust and hatred towards Jason.

" Yes Sir." Jason practically sobbed relieved he now only had to figure out how to trick Lilly into agreeing.

" Great ... oh one more thing." Stefan brought the knife now swiftly and cut off Jason's pinky and Jason's screams filled the room as quick as his blood stained Stefan's desk. 

" Consider that part payment on our deal and a warning a lot worse will happen to you than losing your hand and broken legs if you cross me again. Now get the f**k out my office." Stefan smirked and nodded at his henchmen who dragged a passed out Jason to the car.

" Marcus give this address to the driver and then tell the staff at my Mayfair mansion to get the house ready for a guest." Stefan ordered and Marcus nodded before doing as his Boss bid, leaving Stefan to fantasises about meeting Lilly in person.
