Taken By The Mafia Lord

The woman was not kidding when she told him he’d be working for her from now on. He barely recovered from the torture boot camp only to resume duty. The only good thing she did was to send him a very effective and expensive cream for his face. And just when he thought she had a heart, it turns out that she didn’t.

His work was basically following her around and he had a feeling that she intentionally did that to keep her eyes on him and make sure he and Cindy never met. All that was left was for Adele Luciano to put a leash around his neck.

Aziz wondered if his looks weren’t effective anymore? He always got preferential treatment whenever he showed this face but Adele doesn’t seem to be affected by it. Was she even a woman? Good luck to his annoying teammates who thought they could get her in bed. She’d probably cut off their disgusting cocks before they had the chance to reach for their belts.

Right now, they were at one of the Luciano family clubs and she was running an inspection. As the underboss, it was her responsibility to make sure the family business ran smoothly and reported back to Marcel.

“You’d tire easily if you talk that way, I still have lots of work to cover up tonight and you are accompanying me to each one of them,” Adele told him without emotion.

Elijah’s attention shifted to the heel she wore, how could she even work in those? She was really a strong woman. If he wasn’t already taken by Arianna, Adele would have been his other choice. But then, it was too late. His heart belongs to another.

Adele blended in with the crowd partying to their heart’s content. Unlike the other times when she was dressed professionally, she looked more casual but chic in her spaghetti strap black dress that stopped at her mid-thigh.

No, if he didn’t know her already, Elijah would think that she was one of the normal people who had come to have a good time at the club. Maybe, if she stopped looking around, he wouldn’t fight her out that easily.

.....

He was still thinking when she grabbed his hand and pulled him to the middle of the dance floor, alongside other sweaty bodies. His brow raised when she went about dancing and made him look awkward, standing there.

“Dance,” Aziz heard her whisper into his ears, her hands coming around his neck so they looked into each other’s eyes. And while he looked bothered, Adele wasn’t and he realized that this was all part of the job. Yep, totally fine. He can’t be the odd one here.

So Aziz did as she commanded and though it was awkward at first, he soon relaxed. Adele didn’t seem to mind since it was her doing all the touching – and thankfully no grinding – but their bodies were pressed close enough he could feel her curves.

“Don’t get distracted,” She suddenly reminded him just when he was beginning to enjoy the moment a little.

“Yes, Ma’m,” Aziz sighed inwardly, she was a party pooper as well.

“I just received a report not less than minutes ago that some intruders are in this club tonight and I don’t know their intentions yet. If they’re here to cause trouble, I need to fish them out. So, Aziz, you are going to help me do that,” Adele told him with a hushed tone while still dancing.

“But that is not my Job, Ma’m,” He told her, propping a brow. It was gone past the time he was supposed to finish for the day neither was he on the night shift. So yeah, Adele was the one at fault here.

Yet she was not deterred and instead pulled him closer by the collar, saying with a sweet smile that didn’t touch her eyes, “I take it that you’re a very driven and hardworking person. You’re merely a newbie yet you were promoted barely a day after your initiation. How do you see another promotion? Who knows I might send you to work for the boss this time?” She threw the bait.

Elijah gulped, that was exactly what he wanted, working directly under Marcel. The fool wouldn’t even know.

Adele misunderstood his reaction as him being completely taken by her magnanimous offer. After all, it was a dream come true to work directly under the boss, himself, Marcel. If only she knew that Aziz was excited about it for other reasons.

“What do you want me to do?” He accepted the deal.

“Help me fish out the intruders,” Adele said to him, “It shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?”

“Not at all,” Elijah took the role seriously.

The both of them went back to dancing, however, unlike the other time, Aziz was more aware of his surroundings. He had some gang fellows to catch.

While the music played on, he saw one of them throw his hand in the air and he breathed down, “Five bodies away from your six o’clock, he has a ring on his finger. Doesn’t seem to be ordinary,”

“You could see that much, wonderful,” She was surprised and Aziz made a mental note to be careful from then on. For all, he knew this could be some sort of test or trap.

“Caught one,” Adele told him, “Fool is quite an amateur,” She snorted.

“Another on your left, three bodies away, a hint of his gang tattoo peeking out from his jacket,” He fished him out.

“That should be enough,” Adele said, leaving the dance floor instantly, “Once I have the three sent out, the others would panic and naturally expose themselves,” She said, typing down orders on her phone, probably giving instructions to have them kicked out.

“And there’s a commotion outside,” Adele announced after receiving the piece of information from her phone, “I have to check it out,”

But Aziz grabbed her and she looked down at the gesture, yet he didn’t mind her questioning look and went to say, “Let me come with you,”
