The Shark Mafia Boss novel Chapter 7

Raphael POV

I wake up alone on my super king size bed and I put my hands behind my head looking at the sealing, I got a lot to do today, I have several meetings but I need to see her. It’s Saturday and I am always busy on Saturdays, it’s like mafia’s busiest day of the week.

I get up and walk down the corridor into the gym,

“Alexa, play Papa Roach born for greatness” and within seconds Papa Roach was blasting through the speakers and I start the treadmill slowly walking and then increasing the speed start running. I could go out running but why bother when I have a massive gym inside my own penthouse. The gym has 3 walls that are all glass allowing me to see my city, to see everything that I own. I control this city and whoever says otherwise is wrong.

I was running for 45 min, when I finish I start lifting some weights and then I do some stretching. When I finish I walk into the bathroom inside my bedroom and turning the shower on cold. I needed to freshen up and calm down my erection. I woke up with morning glory and not even the exercise did it for me.

When I finished the shower I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my waist and walked towards the sink brushing my teeth and putting on some aftershave.

I walked into my walk-in wardrobe and picked up a pair of black ripped jeans from Levis and a black Adidas T-shirt, black socks, black Calvin Klein boxer shorts and my doc martens.

As I walked towards the kitchen I could smell fresh coffee. Maria is here and I smiled.

I walked silently into the kitchen and scared the living shit out of her.

“Do you want me dead boy?” – She asks me giving me a hard look.

I wrap her around my arms giving her a peck on her cheek.

“I would never, how could I survive without you taking care of me?” – Yeah Maria is like a mother to me, she cooks, hires cleaning staff and keeps my penthouse tidy. She even throws out my “trash”, yeah she kicks the sluts out of here if they try to overstay their welcome.

“I made coffee” – she says smiling

“You are a lifesaver” – I say grabbing my big mug and pouring the coffee.

“Are you having lunch or dinner at home today?” – She asks

“I honestly don’t know, leave something in the fridge and if I decide to come home I’ll just pop into the microwave” – I say looking at her

“Oh no, I’m not letting you eat reheated food” – she looks at me frowning.

“Yes you will, because today was supposed to be your day off, so go out and visit your family, they need you almost as much as I do” – I wink at her

“Okay, but I will leave you some good food”

“Yes, ma’am” – I say putting down my empty coffee mug on the kitchen island and walking out towards the lift grabbing my Ray-ban’s, wallet and car keys on the way.

I press the button for the garage while my phone stats ringing. “Here we go” – I say

“Yes” – I bark

“Boss, we need you on the hideout”

“I’m on my way”

I walk towards my black Cadillac Escalade and I jump in turning on the motor and the sound blasting some Linkin Park.

I drive and the traffic is horrific in NYC at this time, I drive all the way to Queens where we have our hideout and where all of my staff meet.

I park the car in the back of the big building and walk in, everyone tenses up as I pass them still with my sunglasses on.

Joseph is waiting for me outside my office, I give him a head signal to follow me inside

“So, how have things been while I had to be the all mighty CEO?”

We both laugh and he puts his head down avoiding eye contact.

“Karkov is here”

“What do you mean?” – I tense

“He is in NY, he arrived this morning with 20 guards plus the filth that work for him here”

“Fuck, double the security here and send one extra guard to each business”

“Sure thing boss”
