Stalked by the Mafia Boss

“You must be one lucky girl.” Korina heard a voice say as soon as she opened her eyes.

Her vision was blurred, she could hardly see, she couldn’t even make out the image of the person hovering above her or the image of her surroundings.

Her head ached, it felt as if it kept splitting into two, she felt slight pains all over her body.

She tried recalling the happenings, she tried remembering what led to what but her efforts proved futile and thinking made her head ache more.

“Korina.” She heard the voice which she now found familiar call out again, “Can you hear me?” She almost screamed as she felt the pain in her head grow.

“Yes.” She croaked, She closed her eyes and opened them again, She could see a little bit this time, her vision was gradually clearing up, She could make things out now, She saw she was on a hospital bed and she could see the face above her.

It was mr hottie, Dr cole smith’s handsome face hovered over hers.

It wasn’t long before Korina regained full consciousness and all events that had happened came back and replayed in her head and she felt enormous anger towards Daniella for setting her up with a moron and at herself for ever agreeing to go on that date.

She touched her forehead and felt a bandaged area.

Oh shit, She cursed.

Dr cole opened the door to Korina’s hospital room. He found her sitting upright with the angry bird look on her face, scowling hard, brows furrowed together and her hand constantly touching her forehead.

“Hey.” He called out feeling nervous that she could lash out on him considering she looked like she was very close to an outburst.

“Hey.” She said replying, she withdrew her hand from her head and looked up at him, her lips curving into a smile.

Phew she smiled, He smiled back.

“How are you feeling?” He asked.

“I am fine.” Korina answered, she watched him walk towards her bed, he stopped at the edge assessing the drip.

Are you always on duty? She looked up at him.

“I am, I guess.” He replied, “Or maybe it’s only when a damsel is in distress.”

“Oh my, I said that out loud.” Korina blushed, she mentally slapped herself for letting her thoughts escape her mouth.

He was standing directly at the side of the bed now, he looked down at her and admired her features for a while.

He couldn’t deny that he found her incredibly attractive and interesting.

Even if he met her only a few times, he had taken a fancy towards her and was on the verge of asking her out.

It’s too early, He thought, getting rid of the ideas in his head.

“Dr Cole.” Korina asked noticing he was starting at her intently, “Is everything alright?”

“Everything is fine, just zoned out a bit.” He lied noticing he had been caught.

“Okay.” She mumbled.

“So Korina as I said earlier on, you must be one lucky girl.” He said shaking his head, “You escaped the car hit with minor injuries and no concussion.”

“You call this a minor injury?” She whined pointing to the bandaged area on her forehead, “Hurts like a bitch.”

“Well, you should be grateful, having a concussion would have been worse.”

Phew, She sighed, “Thank God.”

“What happened this time?” The Doctor asked.

“I met with a racist, an angry one, a potential murderer, probably a member of the ‘KKK’ (klux klux klan).”

“What the fuck?” Cole yelled, “He did this to you?”

Korina saw him tightening his fists, his knuckles turning white.

“I know right.” She sighed, “Daniella set me up on this date and she forgot to show him my picture, just gave him my name and told him I was her relative.”

“Okay?”

“I got all prettied up, went to the restaurant, Identified and met him and the next thing I knew the fucktard was screaming monkeys and jungles and he harrassed me so much, I hit him with a champagne bucket holder.”

“You what?” Cole asked bursting out in laughter.

“Yes I did that.” Korina answered in pride.

“So what next?”

“He hit me.”

“He hit you?!.” Cole asked and korina felt nervous seeing him angry, it wasn’t a pretty sight.

“Yes he did and someone called the police and they questioned us both and only made things worse.” She said, “The policeman claimed Black people are always violent and wasn’t ready to hear the truth, I got fed up and walked out on them.”

“And how did the accident happen?”

“I was too angry to call Daniella to come pick me up and also too angry to call an Uber. I decided to walk with no destination in mind, I wanted to let my anger evaporate and half way through the walk, the streets were already getting deserted and out of no where, the guy I supposedly had a date with came out of nowhere with a car and hit me twice and well, here I am.” She shrugged ending her narration.

“You mean to tell me that asshole ran you over?” Cole asked fuming, who would hurt such an angel?

Korina could literally see his head steaming, his face right now reminded her of cartoon characters when angry.

“Yes.” She replied with a raised brow, “He did run me over.”

“I would be right back.”

“Cole wa…” She didn’t get to finish, he had already exited the room, banging the door loudly behind him.

Wao, what just happened?

Korina heard something beep and traced the sound, it was her phone.

She found it laying in the cabinet admist other stuff of hers.

She picked up the phone and saw a message notification.

She swiped the screen open to read.

“I am so sorry you got hurt love, I will make him pay.”

She knew exactly who sent it, it was the anonymous stalker.

Korina sat there staring into space not as if she had a choice of what to do with her position.

She held the phone with a firm grip as she pondered upon the message.

She read it again, she got afraid and worried again over the identity of the stalker and how dangerous he could be.

She thought he didn’t sound like one to kill through the notes, texts and gifts.

He sounded like he was like one filled with care and obsession in a sick way.

She laid there still thinking till she fell asleep, her brows still furrowed like she was having a disturbing dream.

Dr cole never came back.

Aunt Dido didn’t know if to be mad at her daughter or not. She had received a call from the hospital and even spoke to Korina. She was on her way to pick up Daniella.

“Get in now.” She said as soon as she pulled up in Daniella’s drive way, She was standing there looking sorry staring at her mother.

“Mum, I am sorry.” Daniella pleaded and her mother saw her looking really remorseful.

“Not now Daniella.” Aunt Dido said, “Just get in the car, we ain’t got no time.”NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

The ride to the hospital was silent with Aunt Dido thinking of how best to handle the situation maturely and Daniella planning another date for Korina with a guy she was sure was a non racist in her head.

The driver in the black sedan turned on his ignition immediately he saw the Bmw drive past. He gave a considerable amount of time before pulling onto the road and trailing them making sure he had them in sight.

His phone rang, he freed one hand from the steering wheel and picked it up, he maneuvered the steering with the other hand as they took a bend.

“Yes Boss.” He spoke into the receiver.

“Have you sighted them?” The deep voice boomed through the speaker.

“Yes boss.” The man answered, “Trailing them now.”

“You have got your weapons and backup at hand?”

“Yes sir.” He answered, “I got all weapons and backup in strategic places in case there is a mishap.”

“Good, make sure you do exactly as you are told.” The boss warned, “I do not want mess ups or a repeat of the other two incidents, my queen doesn’t look good on the hospital bed and I am determined to protect her and her loved ones.” He stated firmly.

“Okay Boss.” The man replied and nodded as if his superior was present.

He dropped the phone and paid rapt attention to the road and the car he was monitoring.

He didn’t want to make a mistake knowing fully well he would pay with his head if he did.
