Taken By The Mafia Lord

Elijah still had the thoughts in his head when he heard a squeal by his side.

“Oh my gosh! He’s as handsome as you described,”

The blonde girl had a hand to her mouth trying to contain the excitement inside of her, “Tell me, Cindy, if you’re not making him yours, I want him!” She stretched her painted manicured hands to make her point.

“What the....” Elijah was lost for words when the girl made a pass at him.

He blinked twice, trying to make sure he was seeing and hearing right? Where were this kid’s parents, do they even know she’s at the club? He was tempted to teach some discipline to her. In the future, he would keep a better eye on his own daughter.

“Back off, he’s mine,” Cindy glared warningly at her friend who released a wistful sigh while Elijah was left in disbelief. He took back his words, he couldn’t handle these reckless and crazy kids.

“Come on,” Cindy tapped the space beside her on the sofa since he was standing, “Sit with me.”

“No, thanks, I’m good where I am.” Elijah stood his ground, “I’m here to guard you not to have fun,” He resumed his formal and professional tone.

.....

But to his surprise, Cindy simply reached out and pulled him down by the hem of his shirt and he stumbled down on the sofa. She said, “Who said you can’t have fun while on the job?” she grinned at him and all Elijah could conjure were shark teeth. He was toasted.

“Pour me a drink,” Cindy commanded, bringing the empty glass to him. Somebody was getting cheeky with him.

“Are your hands paralyzed? Do them yourselves, you brat!” Elijah said all of those words in his head. The identity he was currently using was kind and obedient, it would seem suspicious if he switched to his cold and aloof personality.

So instead, he smiled and took the glass from her. Elijah filled the glass with ice cubes, then added rum with lime juice. Stirring it with a bar spoon and finally garnishing it with a lime wedge.

It was while he was doing so that he managed to ask, “I hope all of your friends here are of legal age, I don’t want you to get into any trouble with the authorities.”

“If she gets into trouble, you clean it up. That’s your job anyway or isn’t that what you’re paid for?” The manager said out of nowhere popping cashew nuts into his mouth nonchalantly.

Elijah’s demeanor changed instantly, even a mere manager dares to insult him now?

He peered up at the manager with his dark gaze and the manager whose gaze happened to cross his at that moment saw the murderous intent there and choked on the nuts instantly.

It seemed funny at first as the manager coughed incessantly until he fell on all fours on the floor, still coughing and trying to get out the nut that lodged in his throat, tears escaping his eyes from the discomfort.

At the scene, the kids couldn’t stay still anymore and all except Cindy came to the man’s aid. The dumb one kept asking how he was doing when it was obvious he couldn’t speak. The smarter one quickly began to hit his back hard for a while until the man threw up the nut that went down the wrong pipe.

“Eww,” Cindy commented at the action of her manager throwing up while the other kid took a bottle of water from the table, uncapped it, and gave it to the man who drank from it as if his life depended on it.

When the manager finished, he burped and the girls did a collective, “Eww, disgusting.” this time.

The man finally recovered, recognizing that he had messed up big time. Embarrassed and still scared of Elijah’s chilling eyes – how were the others not able to see that? – he picked up his things in a hurry saying, “I need to leave early. Have fun, you guys?”

And successfully made it to the door until Elijah’s startling voice stopped him, “Where do you think you are going without your artist?”

The manager gulped, he was on the verge of crying. What now? He didn’t say anything else, why won’t that scary guard won’t let him be? The manager was traumatized by the nut incident – he almost died from choking all because of him.

He slowly turned to Aziz, bearing a please- have- mercy- on- me – expression.

“Just let him be, I don’t need him anyway when I got you,” Cindy dismissed him without noticing Elijah’s menacing smile.

It was the manager who saw it all and took off as quickly as his feet could carry him. Who took in that psychopath as a guard? Was the Luciano family okay in the head? As much as the manager wanted to report him, he loved his life which meant he was keeping his mouth shut.

Elijah was still looking in the direction of the door, his lips curled to the side in an evil smirk when he handed the drink to Cindy and didn’t notice the hand he used.

“You’re ambidextrous.” Cindy said without giving it much thought but to Elijah, it felt like someone just dropped a bomb on him.

That single word “ambidextrous” made the previous smile on his face drop and he let his guard up immediately. No one else except his family knew he was efficient at using both hands and he’s used the skill to deceive a lot of people.

Most people guessed the phantom ghost was left-handed while the rest thought he was right-handed, depending on what he wanted them to believe.

A chill entered Elijah’s eyes but thankfully Cindy was too dumb and careless yet it was risky. From now on, he had to be very careful around her. She might be a kid but she was a Luciano and was trained better than the average humans out there. She would notice something if he dropped too many hints

So while hiding the tension inside of him, Elijah laughed it off and continued to serve her. How he wished this night was over.
