Dangerous love
Chapter 1
The strongest boss
"Take care of it, Hiroki," I say as I stare out the window. The weather is grey and the rain pours down the window. The sun is gone and so are my hopes for a normal life.
It has been three years since I was forced to take over my father's business. My father, Mr. Shago, was the boss of a very powerful mafia group called Black Wolves. He was feared and hated by many and known for being strict and unforgivable, he never gave anyone a second chance. One mistake and you were dead. He had many enemies and was eventually bound to make a mistake. It only took one bullet and he was down. It all happened so fast. One minute he was standing behind his underlings, shouting out orders. The next he was lying on the ground, covered in blood and dirt, he eyes bloodshot and wide open.
His funeral was short. A few words were said and one minute of silence was held. We didn't have time to mourn, we didn't want to mourn. We had to continue, we had to choose a new leader, a new boss. And that's where I come in. I am the last blood relative of Mr. Shago, so therefore the title automatically becomes mine. I am the new boss of Black Wolves.
It hasn't been easy. I've had to prove myself worthy many times, but I still haven't convinced everyone. But, I get it. I get why they don't want me as their boss, their mafia boss no less. I mean, I'm a girl. I'm not even supposed to be in the mafia, but here I am, a mafia boss.
"Yes, sir" Hiroki says before he leaves.
Heh, it's funny how they call me sir. They're probably doing it out of habit. I don't mind it though, it kinda makes me feel stronger. Ever since I took over for my father, I have felt the need to get stronger. I have to do this, I have to prove myself right. I want to change Black Wolves's reputation. I don't want people to think of us as cruel and ill-natured. I still want to continue our business but I don't want to hurt innocent people, like my father did… To be able to continue our business we have to get bigger, we have to expand our group.
A few days later, I am sitting in my office, doing some paperwork, as someone knocks at my door. I quickly look at the time. 2.35 pm. Shit, it's in the middle of the night, I must have lost track of time.
"Who is it?" I yell towards the door.
"H-Hiroki." He says a little timid. He's always been a little shy, it's adorable.
"Oh, come inn." I look up from my documents and greet him with a tired smile. He looks at me with worried eyes.
"Are you ok, boss?" he asks as he walks over to me.
"Yes, I'm fine. Just a little tired." I answer as I lean back in my black leather chair and run a hand through my long dark brown hair. The last few days has been hell. We got into a discussion with one the smaller groups and it evolved to a full-blown fight. No one was injured form our group but the others lost some people. This is the part I hate. I hate the fact that because the leader of the other group and I couldn't come to an agreement, someone lost their life.
"Did you want something from me, Hiroki?" I ask him and he fidgets a little.
"Oh, um, yeah." He looks at me and clears his throat. "We have received a letter." He takes out a golden letter with a thick red stamp that holds the letter closed and hands it over to me.
I carefully take the letter and study it closely. "Have you read it?" I look him in the eyes.
"N-No I haven't" he stutter as he pulls his hand through his golden hair.
I am about to open the letter when some walks in.
"Oh, hello Tomoe." I say and greet him with smile. He gives a little nod back and stands next to Hiroki. Tomoe is always like that, never says anything unnecessary. But that's what makes him special to me. Well, they're both very special to me. I couldn't have gotten to where I am today without their support. They have always been there for me, from the very beginning. They were the only ones who had my back, back when some of my men betrayed me. Almost everyone in Black Wolves wanted to start a riot against me, but luckily, Hiroki and Tomoe was there to stop them and to tell them to give me a second chance. They did give me a second chance and I proved myself worthy. Tomoe and Hiroki has been by my side ever since and I owe them everything.
"What do you think guys? Should we open it now or wait till tomorrow?" I ask them
"N-No need to wait, right?" Hiroki say and look towards Tomoe, who just nods.
"Ok then." I say as I open the top drawer on my work desk and take out a small knife. I cut underneath the stamp and the letter opens. I take out a paper and start to read it aloud.
"You are here by invited to the IVC party at hotel Tres Spade that is to be held this Saturday." It's written in a beautiful, gold handwriting.
"That's it?" Tomoe ask. I nod in response.
"It doesn't say who it's from." I look at the little piece of paper in my hands.
"T-That's a little suspicious…" Hiroki say and looks at me.
"I agree. I'm not sure if we should go." I look at them. "It might be a trap."
You see, this isn't the first time we've gotten letters like this. We get at least three letters a month. But this letter is different. It's well written and it says that we're invited to a party. Normally it would ask to meet us in a back alley or something.
"I know this might be a trap, but I think we should go." I firmly say and look at them both.
"Are you sure?" Tomoe says and takes the note out of my hands to study it.
"Yes, if this is the real deal, as they say, this might be a good chance to try and make Black Wolves a known name again. This can be really good for us you guys." I look at them enthusiastically.
Ever since my father's death, the Black Wolves has lost it's reputation. At least half of our men have quit and the rest is unsure whether it's worth staying or not. Our reputation is so bad that almost no one knows that we still exist. They think that after my father's death the entire Black Wolves has dissolved. However, they're wrong, and I'll prove it. We will come back, even stronger than before!
