Taken By The Mafia Lord

The show was in the club and while the others were backstage, Elijah’s duty was to look around and observe the people in attendance. If any one of them showed suspicious behavior or possessed a weird item with them, presumably a gun, he was to report back, incapacitate or neutralize them, depending on the time left and circumstance.

Sometimes Elijah’s face was a blessing and a curse at the same time because with his cool, calm, and collected demeanor, most of the women here took it that he was looking for a good time. More than once, they distracted him from the job and he pretended to go along with the flow just so they wouldn’t suspect him. But in the end, he dumped them all.

He couldn’t let anything happen to Cindy because, at the moment, he was using the identity of a member of the Luciano mob. That means he was susceptible to punishments, if not death. None of them knew his prestige identity hence he would be treated like a commoner.

That was evidenced by the way his colleagues behaved toward him. Cindy had him promoted to work with the top dogs on the security details and they weren’t happy with him.

They hadn’t tried bullying Elijah physically but they ousted him from their circles. They wouldn’t give him the information he needed and more than once or twice, he had arrived late to Cindy’s errands or with the wrong product expecting her to punish him. But for some reason, she would indulge him and that pissed the others off like hell.

It was as if everything they did to make Cindy mad at him backfired on them. Elijah knew they were only jealous, especially the captain because he came out of nowhere and found favor in Cindy’s sight.

How was it his fault the girl liked him anyway? If they wanted the same treatment as him, they should do the same thing he did. What did Aziz do exactly? Nothing. Yeah, he did nothing – they should try that.

The moment Cindy was done, her manager was the one that helped her off the stage after sharing a few moments with her fans. Aziz had to admit, the girl was a good singer but her songs weren’t his cup of tea.

.....

The captain and another guard strategically covered them with their body in case of a sneak attack as they walked through the crowd while Aziz was at the corner scanning through, receiving, and passing reports through the hidden wire behind his ear.

In no time, Cindy was out of there safely but the girl didn’t leave the club entirely, she was in one of the private rooms to have a drink. Cindy decided she wanted to have a good time before retiring for the night.

Seeing the others got it covered and let’s be honest, they don’t want him around, Elijah decided to just hang out around the club when he received a word – Cindy wanted to see him.

Elijah sighed, this girl really needed to know he wasn’t her age mate and assistant. So this was how it felt when he commanded his brother’s people around. This was definitely karma.

By the time Elijah reached the room, the captain’s scowling face alone told him that whatever errand Cindy was about to have him do wasn’t favorable to the others.

“Your girlfriend wants only you inside,” the captain sneered, openly expressing his contempt this time. It seems his hatred has reached the limit and was ready to combust.

Aziz raised his brows, “Come on man, don’t say that,” He said to him, with a hint of a joke in it, “That’s child abuse.” He hinted that Cindy was too young for him to date.

But the man simply didn’t care because he said, “Oh please, don’t give me that innocent look. I heard that’s the same way you bewitched Lance, tell me, did the both of you fuck? Who’s the power bottom? I guess it’s you since you don’t seem to disparage between both sex.”

Coldness seeped into Elijah’s eyes and he reeked of killing intent and would have really killed that loudmouth if he didn’t remember his mission in the first place. This was for Arianna, he couldn’t let anyone ruin it.

Moreover, people were bound to speak whether he liked it or not. Not everyone was going to like him. Also, he had no interaction with this jealous lowlife; he wasn’t worth his anger.

So Aziz simply grabbed the doorknob and went in just as the jealous captain shouted from behind, “Do a good job of guiding the princess,” He laid more emphasis on the word, “guiding” and hinted that they would do a lot more than that.

Shaking his head, Elijah opened the door and walked into a room full of young adults aka Cindy’s friends. He sighed, he was really going to hate this.

“Oh, there he is.” Cindy noticed his presence as soon as he came in, gesturing him over to her side with the drink in her hand.

Aziz looked around the room, observing there was no guard with them. There was just Cindy, her manager, and four of her friends with him. No wonder the asshole captain told him to take good care of the princess. All of her friends were probably from influential families and if anything went wrong, the blame would be on him the hardest.

Maybe he should just give up on this mission because he was getting sidetracked. Elijah should think of another way to rescue Arianna. It seems his biggest mistake was getting arrogant and failing to rescue Arianna on the day of her wedding to Big Joe. Did he think he could take on Marcel by himself?

No, he has come a long way and wouldn’t give up easily now. He would survive this. What has a bunch of spoiled, rich teens got on him?
