The Shark Mafia Boss novel Chapter 37

Raphael POV

I wake up late and decide to stay a little longer in bed. This won’t be possible once I get back to NY. I turn the tv on and I just stay in bed watching some tv. I decide to ignore my phone that is ringing. Whatever it is can wait until tonight when I get back.

I get up and walk into the bathroom across the hall and I have a shower. When I finish I brush my teeth and go back to my room with only a towel around my waist.

“Raph, phone for you” - I hear mum calling from downstairs

“Take a message mum, I’ll call back later”

“It’s Joseph, he says it is important”

“Tell him I will call him after I get dressed and we have dinner please”

As I can’t hear anything else I close the door and start to get dressed. I left out a pair of blue ripped Levi’s jeans, a dark grey T-shirt, back boxer shorts and black socks.

When I finish getting dressed and after putting some after-shave on I walk downstairs with my bag. I throw it near the door and I walk to the kitchen where I can smell Risotto. Mum makes the best risotto.

“Hey” - I say placing a kiss on the top of her head.

“You leaving today?”

“Yeah, it’s been more than one week, Tim needs me”

“And so does Joseph. He was really upset that you didn’t answer the phone”

“He’ll get over it, don’t worry” - I say while I take a seat at the table. I serve myself of orange juice and mum looks at me.

“I’m driving, can’t drink”

She nods her head and Carlos sits next to me.

“Leaving already son?”

“Yeah I have some business to attend to and Tim needs some holidays “

“I am glad you take your job so seriously “ - I smile at him. Carlos has no idea of what I do besides my company. Mum never told her hubs and that her son is a mafia boss, she is embarrassed by that part of my life. And she wants to keep him safe.

Mum serves the food and we all eat in silence while we listen to the news on tv.

“Shooting at Columbia University, The shooter was killed after shooting against two people. Only one was injured, Olivia Black ex-girlfriend of the millionaire Raphael Lockwood” once I hear olivias name I freeze.

She was shot?

I stand up and grab my bag running towards my car. Once inside I press the call button on the panel and it only rings once when Joseph answered it

“SHE WAS SHOT?”

“Raph, she’s okay, she’s...”

“HOW CAN SHE BE OKAY IF AHE GOT SHOT?”

“Raph, calm down, there was a bodyguard with her.”

“SHE WAS FUCKING SHOT, I WANT HIS FUCKING HEAD FOR LETTING HER GET HURT”

“Raphael he was as fast as he could, the shooter was a girl, we never saw it coming. Michael recognized her as the student that was making out with Lucas the last time Olivia went to work”

“IS SHE DEAD?”

“Yes”

“GOOD, I’m on my way, and you better have everyone ready for me” - I say before I hung up.

The drive is quiet. I don’t turn the music on because I am so annoyed that I can’t even think about music. It would be a distraction.

This is all Lucas’s fault. I am going to kill that bastard. He’s going to regret the day he was born.

I call Michael

“Boss”

“What hospital is she in?”

“Usual boss, I took care of everything. She’s in room 2 on our floor, she’s alone on that floor and there are two guards looking out for her.

Her friend Anna is there with her”

“I’ll be there in 2 hours, make sure the doctor is ready to see me, I want all the best for her”

“Sure boss”

I hung up the phone and stop the car to grab some coffee. I am getting tired of driving and I have a throbbing headache again.

I sit at a table right at the back of the diner and a young lady brings me coffee.

“Thanks” - I say

“You welcome handsome “ - she replies and I ignore her attempt of making me look at her.

I sip on my drink and I allow my body to relax while my head is flying high thinking about Olivia.
