Filed to story: Bring It On My Mafia Life Novel (Rhea & Lukas)
Sure, he could do that considering he was the boss, however, Lukas wanted these two women to be on the team scheduled to clean the mansion of one of his biggest clients.
It was barely three days before the exercise. Also, this was the Mafia he was talking about, what do they want with his client? If anything happened to his client, it was going to be a huge loss for him.
“Yes, that is all,” Lukas assured him.
“Fine, I can do that,” David assured him.
“Good,” Lukas told him, thankful for the fact that he made the right decision.
“However…” David hesitantly asked him, “If I may ask, what do you want in his house?” He gulped when Lukas gave him a strange look that definitely didn’t look friendly.
Quickly, he went ahead to explain himself, “Not that I’m trying to pry into your business, however, that is my biggest client and if this backfires, I might suffer a huge -“
…..
“It is none of your business and you don’t have to worry about a loss, you’d be compensated heavily for your cooperation. You might not know this but I have a lot of connections and I can assure you that your life is about to take a positive turn. You’re lucky to have met me. ” Lukas promised a huge turn up in his business after this was pulled off successfully.
Hearing that, David’s heart leaped for joy, it seems the deal wasn’t all that bad.
“I would make sure your people are treated well considering they are my old-time workers,” David well understood the game and Lukas nodded in approval.
“Since we are done here, I guess this is where we draw rge curtains.” Lukas brushed the crumbs off his suit from his food.
“Ah, yes,” David was happy that this was over.
Lukas stood to his feet and he did the same as well. He stretched out his hand which the man looked at in both surprise and confusion before gently enveloping it and shaking him firmly.
“Let’s work hard together,” Lukas said.
“Yeah, me too,” David answered him. Although this was a breach of contact between him and his client, he loved his daughter more than his job.
This was the Mafia he was dealing with. The Mafia don’t ask, they took what they wanted, whenever they wanted it and wherever they wanted it to be. David knew if he had refused the deal, they would have found ways to torture his daughter and force him to do their bidings.
Fortunately, he was a smart man and chose the easy way. David couldn’t let his daughter suffer for what she had no clue about. He didn’t know if Lukas was capable of hurting his daughter as he claimed or if he was simply bluffing considering they had been chummy with each other earlier, but then, he couldn’t push his luck. This was the Mafia and his child’s life mattered more than anything else.
Lukas was just about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and stopped. He faced David and the man’s heart skipped a beat. What now? Has he done something wrong?
“W-what?” He asked, shaking slightly.
Lukas looked him over, assessing with his sharp eyes before saying, “You’re capable enough, so if I were you, I would not trust my ex-wife with my kid. Your child needs stability and loves that the both of you starve her. So trust me when I tell you I’ll be checking up now and then, – even after this deal is over – to see if she’s living a happy life.”
David stood at that spot perplexed, what was he talking about? Also, how could he like his kid when he also plans to harm if he doesn’t get what he wants. He was thrown off balance by Lukas’s emotion. But one thing was for sure, the Mafia did his research and he had a feeling that his child was suffering and his ex-wife had a hand in it.
Almost immediately, the door was opened and his daughter came running into the diner. But instead of coming to him, she hugged Lukas instead.
“Are the both of you friends now?” She inquired.
“Of course,” Lukas ruffled her hair, smiling widely, “Your father and I are friends now, aren’t we?” He directed the question at David, a threat lingering beneath it.
“Yes!” He announced, “Yes, we are friends now.”
Lukas turned to the young girl, “Now, you are going to go stay with your daddy. And you don’t have to worry, I’d have my eyes on you. I’m not leaving you.”
“Thank you, Lukas,” Nancy hugged him, innocently believing his words without understanding the real meaning behind them.
But David did.
Lukas had his eyes on him till this deal was over. David couldn’t mess up the deal nor could he back out of it now. He was on the same ship with the devil now. He just hopes the ship doesn’t sink and drown him to the bottom of the ocean where the sharks would make a feast of his body.
Lukas finally left the dinner while father and daughter caught up. Adele was by his side once he was out, saying, “I’ve arranged the hotel where you would sleep the night and -“
“You don’t have to worry about that, I’m returning to the base immediately.” He informed her.
“What?!” Adele was stunned by the news, “But it’s late already and it would be morning by the time you arrived there. Why don’t you just rest up and -“
But he raised his hand and she stopped speaking at once. Lukas opened the car door, “Thanks for your concern, Adele, but I’ve made up my mind already. There is no place like home.” He said.
And with that, Lukas got in and the driver took off.

After taking the suit jacket off, Eric plopped down to his seat with a sigh while tugging at his tie till he loosened it and tossed it to the side. He could finally breathe again.
He had a long day at work today and was extremely stressed. With the Mafia, there was never an end to their trouble and violence and as the head of the Commission, he had to keep everything and everyone balanced.
He was in the process of rubbing his forehead where he felt a strong headache when the door to his office was opened and Natalie stepped in looking elegant and beautiful in her nightgown.
Eric watched as she first looked around the room before her eyes fell on him, “I thought I heard someone come in. Turns out, I wasn’t wrong.”
“You’re still awake. It’s eleven.”
“Nope, I’m very much awake because I was worried over your annoying ass,” She said, walking over to him with her arms folded across her chest. Natalie then stopped in front of his desk, “You’re back and late. Your daughter called, and I had to assure her for over thirty minutes that you’re alive and definitely a tough man to kill,” She hinted that it was a distressing call.
Upon hearing that, Eric repositioned himself in his seat, saying with a deep breath, “Don’t worry about Rose, I’ll call her later. I’m sorry for the inconvenience.”
…..
“No, you don’t have to worry about it,” She waved off his apology, “The girl was simply worried for her father and she’s quite a darling anyway. After she was able to calm down, we had a great conversation.” She tilted her head to the side, assessing him, “And you do look stressed out. Tough day, wasn’t it?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine,” He added under his breath, “After this annoying headache goes away.”
Eric then opened one of his drawers and pulled out a painkiller which wasn’t hard to find since he always kept them close, while Natalie left the room and returned minutes later with a glass of water.
“Thank you,” Eric thanked her as he received the glass and drank it after he popped the pill into his mouth.
