THE MAFIA DON AND HIS NUN

“You have only fifteen seconds to choose an option, Theresa, or I’m gonna chose an option for you.” Alfred said. “Your time starts now.” He added, glancing at his wristwatch.

“I can’t join his organization and become a Mafia, neither can I choose to die. What am I gonna do?” Theresa thought to herself.

“Join his mafia organization. If you join, you’ll have the opportunity to know more about his organization, then you cab finally bring them to justice and you’ll get a promoting at work.” A voice said in Theresa’s head.

It sounded reasonable to Theresa.

“Six.. Five… Four… Three….

“I’ll join your organization.” Theresa said before Alfred could count down the remaining numbers.

Alfred’s lips curved into a wicked smirk. “Good choice you made.” He said.

“Caesar!” Alfred called out.

The door opened and Caesar stepped inside the room. “Yes boss?” He answered.

“Untie her.” Alfred said, referring to Theresa.

Caesar walked to Theresa and he brought out a knife, then he cut off the ropes which tied Theresa to the chair.

Immediately Theresa’s hands were free, she threw a punch at Caesar who easily caught her fist, then he headbutted her.

“Fuck!” Theresa cursed as she rubbed her forehead painfully.

“Too slow.” Caesar said with a scoff.

“I swear, you’re gonna pay for slapping me.” Theresa said with an hint of anger evident in her voice.

“Let’s go.” Alfred said as he stood up, then he walked out of the room. Caesar also followed suite.

“Asshole.” Theresa cursed, rubbing her forehead with her palm, then she stepped out of the room. She walked behind Alfred and Caesar till they got outside the building.

The men outside the building were surprised to see Theresa alive. They all stared at her in shock, like they just saw a ghost.

Caesar opened the passenger’s of a white Royce Rolls for Alfred and Alfred entered inside the car. Theresa walked to the car and she was about to enter but Caesar blocked her entering.

“Get the fuck out of my way!” Thereaa snarled angrily at the Caesar who blocked forward from entering the car.

“No one sits with the boss.” Caesar replied in a cold tone of voice.

“I said get the fuck out of my way!” Theresa half yelled, glaring daggers at Caesar.

“Let her in.” Alfred’s voice sounded inside the car before Caesar opened the passenger’s seat for her to get in.

Theresa hissed in annoyance, giving Caesar one last long spiteful stare before entering the car.

“I’m gonna kill that guy sooner or later.” Theresa said as she sat beside Alfred.

Alfred chuckled at her statement.

“Just wait and see, I’ll bury him alive, right in front of you.” Theresa said with her voice filled with determination and seriousness.

“I’m looking forward to that.” Alfred replied.

The men outside got inside different cars, then they all drove out of the location rushed into the highway.

“Where are we headed?” Theresa asked.

“My mansion.” Alfred replied.

“Okay.” Theresa muttered and she slowly turned to look out the window; inhaling deeply with the refreshing gust of wind blowing hard on her face as the driver drove.

*********

Their convoy was fast. It took them ten minutes before they arrived at Alfred’s mansion.

Theresa stared outside the window as they raced past the big black iron gates.

The convoy pulled up at the car shed and Caesar hurriedly climbed down the other car to open the door for Alfred. Alfred stepped down form the car. Theresa opened the door and she also stepped down, glancing around.

“So, this is the house of Alfred Gilberto, the mafia boss.” Theresa thought as she gaped at the luxury in awe.

“Let’s go in.” Alfred said. Theresa nodded in reply and she walked behind Alfred as they walked towards the mansion.

Theresa perceived the intoxicating smell of tobacco as the stepped inside the living room. Seated in the living room was Douglas, with a stick of tobacco in between his lips.

Men dressed in black suits were positioned at each corners of the large living.

“Sup man,” Douglas greeted Alfred, then his eyes landed on Theresa. “And what’s this pretty nun doing here?” He asked.

“She is a new member of the Gilberto’s family.” Alfred replied as he lowered himself to sit on a couch. Theresa remained standing on her spot with her gaze fixed on Douglas.

Douglas removed the tobacco stick from his lips and he asked, raising his thick. eyebrows questioning. “Another member?”

“Yeah, you’ve got a problem with it?” Alfred asked in reply as he brought out a cigar box; taking out one and he clamped it with his lips. Caesar walked to him and lit the cigar.

“You must be joking, man.” Douglas said.

“Do I look like I’m joking?” Alfred asked, raising his brows at him.

“A nun? Of all people, you chose a nun!” Douglas exclaimed, ruffling his brown hair, “I can believe this.”

Alfred replied, “You better believe it.”

“What’s going on?” Came a feminine voice from the stairway.

Theresa glanced over her shoulder at the stairway and she saw Viper. Viper was putting on a black leather jacket and black tight trousers with a pair of black boots. Mere looking at Viper, Theresa knew she was dangerous and badass.

“Who is she?” Viper asked as she she sat down on the couch which was opposite Alfred.

“The newest member of the family.” Douglas answered with a scoff.

“Her?” Viper asked as she pointed at Theresa, sizing her up with her look, then she stood up and walked closer to Theresa. “Since when did you start accepting nuns into the family?” She questioned.

“Since today.” Alfred replied, puffing out smoke from his mouth.

Matilda and Stacy also walked into the living room through different directions.

“Didn’t you take a proper look at her before accepting her into the family?.” Viper asked, “She’s looks weak.” She said, staring Theresa with an irritated look.

“I would watch my words if I were you.” Alfred warned without looking at her.

Viper scoffed loudly, “There is nothing she can do. She is just a weakling you accepted into the family out of pity.” Viper spat.

“I wouldn’t say that if I were you.” Alfred said with a chuckle.

“I bet she can’t even throw a proper punch o…

Viper’s statement was cut short by an heavy punch from Theresa. Viper staggered backwards, touching her lips which was bleeding as a result of Theresa’s punch.

The whole room fell silent instantly, with everyone except Alfred, staring at the scene with shocked expressions on their faces.

“Did you just punch me?” Viper asked with an angry look on her face.

Instead of answering, Theresa dashed towards her and landed another swift punch on her chin.

Viper staggered again, rubbing her chin angrily.

“Does that answer your question?” Theresa said with a smirk whuch got Viper infuriated.

Theresa was a highly trained crime officer and she was so good at fighting a hand-to-hand combat.

“I’m gonna kill you, bitch!” Viper snarled. She rushed towards Theresa, throwing three punches at her. Theresa dodged two of the punches and the last punch hit her stomach, making her stagger backwards.

Theresa dashed towards Viper, but Viper sways aqay from her punch and grabbed her arm, twisting it wickedly.

“Argh!! ” Theresa screamed in pain as Viper twisted her arm. The others wanted to intervene but Alfred signalled them to stop.

“But Viper is gonna kill her if we don’t stop the fight.” Douglas said.

“Get me a glass of wine.” Alfred instructed one of his men, ignoring Douglas’s statement.

The man came back with a bottle of wine and a glass cup. Filling the cup with the wine, he resepectfully handed it to Alfred and he placed the bottle of wine on the table before returning back to his position.

“Are you seriously gonna let Viper kill her?” Douglas asked Alfred, who ignored the question, as he sipped the wine.

Alfred then drew in a long puff from his cigar, blowing out smoke, as he continued watching the fight between Theresa and Viper.

Theresa gritted her teeth in pain as she struggled to release herself from Viper’s grip. Viper dropped an elbow jab on Theresa’s back and she fell down flat to the floor.

“Fuck!” Theresa cursed as she felt pains in her arm. Her blood was boiling in anger and she felt like killing Viper.

“Is that all you’ve got?” Viper asked in a mocking tone, “Pathetic!” She added and she rushed to kick Theresa.

“I swear I’m gonna kill you!” Theresa muttered angrily. She looked up and she dodged Viper’s kick. Viper threw a few punches at her, but Theresa moved side by side, dodging Viper’s punches, then she landed a spinning kick on Viper’s face.

Viper angrily bolted towards Theresa with an attacking elbow, but Theresa slided away and she moved backwards. In a split seconds, Viper turned around and she landed a fist punch on Theresa’s face, complementing it with a back flip kick in her chest.

Theresa’s back hit the ground and she coughed out blood from her mouth. This time, she got with adrenaline pumping in her veins and she glared daggers at Viper.

Growling like a beast, Theresa dashed towards Viper in anger and she lifted herself off the ground, dropping a spinning kick on Viper’s neck.

Without wasting a second, Theresa jabbed Viper’s stomach and she swept her feet, landing an uppercut on her jaw.

Everyone in the room watched in shock as Viper dropped heavily to the ground.

The tobacco Douglas was smoking slipped out of his fingers and dropped on to the floor. His eyes was wide in shock as he gazed at Viper who was laying on the floor.

A wide smirk formed on Alfred’s face as he sipped his wine. He knew within himself Theresa was gonna beat Viper, and that was the reason why he didn’t stop the fight.

Theresa took slow strides towards Viper who was groaning on the floor in pains. She crouched in front of Viper and she grabbed a handful of Viper’s hair, raising her head to look at her face.

“Now, who is pathetic, bitch?” Theresa asked, mockingly as she stared ay Viper’s face unrecognizable face, “I’m gonna warn you this time, if you still value your life and you wanna spend more years in the land of the living, steer clear of my path. I’m not gonna warn you twice.” Theresa said with a low threatening voice, then she punched Viper’s face before standing upright.

She faced the others and she walked to the center with her arms folded under her breasts.

“Who the fuck is this lady?” Matilda thought. She couldn’t hide the glint of envy and jealousy in her eyes as she stared at Theresa from where she stood.

“Hi family,” Theresa greeted with a smile, “My name is Theresa and I am the newest member of the Gilberto’s family,” she paused to take a quick look at everyone in the room, then she continued, “I’m nice, kind, jovial but dangerous when you make me angry. And I look forward to working with everyone in this organization.” She added, then she walked to one if the couches and she sat down comfortablyContent provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Alfred gulped the remaining wine in his cup down his throat, then he dropped the empty cup on the table.

“Theresa.” Alfred called.

“Yes boss?” Theresa answered.

“Your code name will be Hell Tiger.” Alfred said.

Theresa’s lips curved into a smile. “Hell Tiger. I love that name.”

“Matilda.” Alfred called.

“Yes, boss?” Matilda answered from where she stood.

“Yours is Silent Wolf.” Alfred said.

“The both of you are now members of the Gilberto’s family.” Alfred added, then Caesar gave both each of them a chain an eagle’s pendant.

“That chain is an identification mark of all members of the Gilberto’s organization.”

Theresa stared at the shining chain in her hand. She gazed at the eagle’s pendant on the chain, then she wore the chain around neck and she said to herself.

“I AM NOW A MAFIA.”
