Filed to story: Bring It On My Mafia Life Novel (Rhea & Lukas)
In one word, whether in a mask or not, Lukas looked simple yet classic and elegant, he pulled off the turtleneck exquisitely. There was just this air around that people couldn’t resist and hopefully, all of the women tonight leaves him alone.
“Make sure no harm comes to him,” Lukas told the guard he had kept in charge of Nahid and at the same time, testing the device. Once he was done with his role-playing tonight and got what he wanted, he would return safely to his family.
He then left the property and entered the car where the old man was waiting for him, “Let’s go, Fetus,” Lukas said and they entered the car and left.
Fetus was one of the oldest members in the gang, having served his grandfather when he was quite a young boy, and has been royal to every chosen don since then. Although he has retired, the man likes to get into action every and now.
And do not estimate the man because of his age, he was a badass driver when it comes to getaways – whenever he’s in the mood. Lukas just hopes he was right in entrusting his life in his hands. He heard the man has problems with his eyesight.
However, that was the reason why Lukas was nervous. He had gotten feedback from Winters who had arrived at the party before him to assume her role of babysitter. She has confirmed that his sister was at the party and even sent a photo of her as proof.
Lukas couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the photo. It was just months since he laid his eyes on her but his baby sister had grown quite tall, she was almost a woman now. It was all his fault and he would make it up to her when he gets her back.
That was another reason why Lukas couldn’t fuck this mission up, this was his one chance to get his sister back without meeting face-to-face with Sakuzi and Niklaus. By the time they would realize what was going on, he would be gone with his sister and there was nothing they could do.
“Do not make any move, Winters. Leave her to me.” Lukas had instructed her. He was the only one that could Chloe to return home with him and any other attempt from other people might complicate things.
It took Lukas an hour to arrive at the venue and he took a deep breath once they came at the gate where Sakuzi’s men stood guard.
“Invitation?” One ordered and Fetus handed the card over to him while the others checked him and his car.
Lukas stayed calm and did not show any sign of nervousness and a minute later, he heard,
“All clear,”
They let them pass through.
Lukas released the breath he had been holding in. They were in.
Under The Moonlight
“Chloe!”
Winters’ attention was drawn the instant she heard that name. She turned to see the kids surrounding the girl who seemed to be around the age of fourteen and matched every description that Lukas gave her.
She was here, Winters expelled the breath that she had been holding in. Now that it was confirmed that Chloe was at the party, all they had to do was follow the plans and make sure it went well.
With the children distracted, Winters secretly took a photo of her and sent it to Lukas right away with the caption,
[Target secured]
Minutes later, her phone pinged with a message
[She’s my sister, not a target]
Ugh, whatever. As far as they were on a mission, Chloe remained a target to her until they got her out of here, and then, she would become Lukas’s babysitter to her. Lukas was just being grumpy lately.
Another message came,
…..
[Do not tell her anything, leave her be. I’ll be there soon and handle everything myself. Just keep an eye on her.]
“Of course, I’ll keep an eye on her. That’s my job anyway, a babysitter,” Winters muttered under her breath sarcastically.
“What’s your job, baby?”
“Jesus Christ!” Winters almost jumped out of her skin. She placed her hand on her chest while secretly slipping the phone into her pocket. She said to him, “Someone should definitely place a bell on you.” She didn’t even hear him come in.
“If that someone is you, I wouldn’t mind,” Akim smiled, leaning down to kiss her and Winters opened up to him, nearly deepening the kiss until she remembered that there were kids in the house – and Reina was going to kill them.
The both of them pulled apart, laughing awkwardly. The blush on their faces proved that they remembered yesterday night and how wonderful the sex had been.
“You are not dressed for the party,” Akim noted, staring at her appearance.
“Dressed for the party?” She looked at him, “I don’t understand?”
Akim sighed dramatically, looking at her with disbelief. He said to her, “I knew this was going to happen and that was why I made plans already.”
“You made plans?” Winters tugged the strands away from her face, “Aren’t I supposed to babysit and take care of the girls? I didn’t know that I was permitted to party too?”
“Well, who said that you can’t babysit and party at the same time? Moreover, I’m here…” He pointed to his chest confidently, “And I would make sure we go through it together,”
Aww, he was so romantic, Winters swoon mentally. He was the best boyfriend in the world and she wasn’t saying that just because he was her boyfriend, Akim deserved it.
“Now, let’s go. You should see your dress, you are going to love it.” He placed both hands on her shoulder and was about to move her when Winters shouted, “Stop!”
Akim halted at once, looking confused.
“What is wrong?” He swallowed nervously, “Do you not like the idea that I bought you a dress? Well, it’s alright, I should have asked for your permission first. I just thought that I would surprise you.”
The crestfallen look on Akim’s face brought out the protective instinct inside of her. He looked like a sweet, abandoned dog with puppy eyes. Damn it, why did she have to look at him? Of all the boyfriends in the world that she could have, she had to choose one that made her weak.
“No, it’s not you.” She explained to him, “I was meaning to ask, who’s the young girl?” Winters intentionally pointed at Chloe. She wanted to know if Akim knew of the girl’s real identity.
He lifted his head and followed the direction of her hand, “Oh her?” Akim said, “She is Reina’s guest and I wouldn’t be surprised if my aunt decides to adopt her at the end of the day.”
“Really?” Winters muttered, lost in her thoughts. So the real question was if Reina was willing to adopt her knowing full well that she was Lukas’s sister. Or perhaps it was all Akim’s assumption.
“Yeah. Really. By the way, why do you ask?”
“Huh?” Winters was roused from her thoughts. “I was just wondering if I would have to keep my eyes on her as well,” She quickly thought of an excuse.
“Probably. But don’t worry, we’d do it together. Now, let’s go, come check out your dress.” Akim pulled her away when she should be watching over Chloe and her movements. Lukas was definitely going to kill her when he found out.
Akim had not been kidding about the dress, it was a lovely lavender maxi dress. The woven poly shapes a pleated, surplice bodice, fitted waist, and cascading maxi skirt. The dress also had adjustable straps and a hidden back zipper. The cherry on the top, Winters wore it with sneakers, thanks to the fact she wouldn’t survive on heels while taking care of the ruly kids and Akim was totally in support.
How did she even get such a lovely boyfriend? Winters knew that she didn’t deserve him and it was heartbreaking that she would have to leave him after tonight. She didn’t mean to hurt him, you know, not after his bad experience in his relationship. But there are some things she couldn’t control and their separation was inevitable.
