Stalked by the Mafia Boss

“Hey!” Korina’s hand flew to her chest as she jumped off the chair in fright, the voice startled her.

“Daniella!” She screamed as she watched her walk excitedly into the apartment,”you can’t just barge in like that, don’t frighten me into having a heart attack.”

Her hand was still on her chest, her rapid breathing was beginning to slow down.

“Oh come on.” Daniella dropped her purse on the bed and began pulling off her jacket,”you knew I was coming and besides you gave me your spare key, remember?”

“That I did and I might have to retrieve it back, in fact why are you here? It’s 7pm and it’s dark and late.” She asked resuming her position on he chair.

“You have a date tonight remember? I am here to fix you up.”

Daniella walked over to Korina’s closet threw the covers apart and started rummaging for an outfit.

“Oh my God, I totally forgot I had a date tonight.”

“As usual.”Daniella scoffed,” Nah, this is too bright…”She murmured as she scrutinized the green outfit she held, she shook her head with her face scrunched up in apparent distaste for the dress and threw it aside.

“I ain’t going, it’s already late, I don’t think I should…” Korina tried to explain but was quickly silenced by Daniella’s angry stare.

“Oh yes you are! I put so much efforts in organizing dates for you but you bail out, the men aren’t gonna cook you up to eat girl.”Daniella said. She held two dresses in her hands now, She nodded in disapproval and threw them aside, does she own anything wearable? She thought.

“But I…” She didn’t get to finish cause Daniella was staring her down angrily now, She thought she could literally see the steam escaping her head,”Calm down fire breathing dragon.”

“If you think I would let you bail out on this one, wake up from lala land girl cause I won’t, you have no excuse, the first date I organised after our meeting at the restaurant, you never showed up claiming some of your eyelashes fell off, for this one I am driving you there myself.” The words rushed out of Daniella’s mouth in a breath, she was still starting at Korina, breathing heavily and angry too.

“Jeez… fine I would go.”, Korina said waving her arms in surrender, ” just don’t breath fire on me.”She completed with a light laugh trying to lighten up the tense atmosphere.

Daniella’s face muscles didn’t move, not even a smile, she was still frowning.

“What? I said I am going already, ain’t I?”She asked.

” Great, now hop in the shower while I pick out an outfit.”

After minutes of screaming and threatening sentences from Daniella, Korina finally got out of the shower, doing it sluggishly of course.

She lotioned her body in the most lethargic movements much to the irritation of Daniella who was on the verge of snapping.

“Could you hurry up? your date is tonight and not tomorrow.” Daniella hissed at a point.

Moments later, Korina was sat on a chair in front of the dressing mirror, a robe worn loosely around her body, with Daniella carefully fixing her hair.

“You really had to go all extra and light candles didn’t you?” Korina scoffed looking at the lit red candles on the dressing table.

“I wanted to make the atmosphere more impressive and make your ass feel pampered.”

“Does that even make sense to you?” She said trying to turn.

“Would you hold still while I try to make your hair look gorgeous.” Daniella frowned, Korina got back in position with her hands folded neatly across her laps, diverting her thoughts to what to expect of her date later tonight.

“Remind me, why I am buying your advice and going on this date again.” Korina asked as Danielle bent and helped her buckle her heels.

“Uhhm… cause I give the best advice and my plans always work out.” Daniella said, “in fact after this date you would be walking down the aisle in no time.”

“Yea, right.” She scoffed wondering why Daniella thought her ideas were always wonderful when actually it always flopped one way or the other.

“Daniella, do I really have to wear this?”, Korina asked as Daniella rose, ” isn’t it a little too revealing?” She tried adjusting the dress to cover the top of her boobs.

“Don’t touch it.” Daniella answered slapping Korina’s hands away from her chest, “it’s perfect.”

Daniella grinned and turned Korina towards the full lengthened mirror leaning against the wall.

Korina nearly gasped in shock when she saw her reflection.

She blinked her eyes continuously and stared.

She was amazed.

She thought she looked way too gorgeous. Nah, this isn’t me, She thought.

Her dreads were packed and tied up neatly in a tight bun, edges laid beautifully, her make up was nude, neatly carved out brows, light eyeshadow, her lashes were stretched with mascara, the concealer and foundation blended well with her skin and her lips were coated with a nude shade.

A necklace with a jade pendant hung beautifully around her neck with the pendant resting low below her collarbone.

She had on a white strapless gown which stopped mid thigh, it showed a little cleavage which she thought was too much, on her feet were a pair of black heels.

“Oh my God, Dan, I look amazing.” She screeched in excitement , she gazed in the mirror once more and did a 360° turn.

“And your ass look amazing in this.” Daniella said lightly tapping Korina’s bottom and was rewarded with a glare.

“I look fabulous.” Korina remarked again, maybe this date wouldn’t be so bad afterall, She smiled.

“Yea you do girl, Hair, check! Make up, check! Nails, check! Dress, check! Body, check! Everything, check!.” Daniella commented excitedly, “and we should get going now, you don’t wanna be late.” She grabbed both their purses and headed for the door.

Korina followed suit but stopped when she heard a beep from her phone.

She turned it over looked at the screen and saw a message.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Going out on a date without me sweets? plus you look ravishing in that.”

She got chilled with fear as she looked around her and saw no one, the message was from the same anonymous number.

“Korina, get your ass out here!” She heard Daniella scream outside the door.

Korina turned her phone screen off, summoned some courage and became calm. She ignored the text and the fear it sent through her spines.

She looked good and she was going on a date tonight and she was gonna have fun.
