TAMING THE MAFIA QUEEN

Blade was a business tycoon who had chains of business spread across the country. He was one of the richest men in the country and had been informed that he was to donate to charity.

He came in his convoy to the center to meet with the convener of the initiative to know his plans for the event. It was a surprise to know that the event was actually going to include some set of persons performing on stage.

He had great love for music; to him, music is the food to the soul and it could be more understandable that he had to get himself his own personal playlist collection that includes all the music loved.

"Welcome sir, it is a great honour to have you come for our initiative" the convener stated with a smile plastered across his face.

"Indeed you can say that again. So what is this event all about?" He asked after he accepted a glass of water.

"For the purpose of supporting orphanage homes with funds" the convener stated as he sat across the other couch.

"So I also heard there will be persons performing on that day isn't it?" Blade asked.

"Yea there will be different people coming to perform their art" the convener also related to the man.

After they were done chatting, the Mob boss was was going out of the hall when he noticed a beautiful lady passing by. She caught his attention and he suddenly had the urge to just stop her very quick. But it seemed as though the lady was in a hurry herself judging from the way she walked briskly.

When Tory arrived, she was asked to wait for the convener who wanted to have a word with her and so she obeyed and sat patiently waiting for the convener to arrive.

"It is such a pleasure to have you in our midst, miss" the convener extended his hands as a sign of greeting to the young woman.

"So I do hope you will be available to perform tomorrow, we have an important guest coming up and he would be very disappointed if you do not show up" the convener stated adjusting his tight tie.

"I understand what I am to do sir and I do hope you have the necessary instruments available for I will perform in front of a live audience" Troy asked.

"Definitely, there would be enough instrument to accompany your genre of music" After the assurance from the convener, he stood up and once again shook her hand for honoring his invite.

The following day came quite faster than Tory had imagined it; she had prepared herself for the performance today with her bass and accompanied it with other solo instrument.

During her performance on stage hours later, the mob boss who had was trying to remember where he had seen her face remembered she was the girl from the hallway who was in a haste to even stop so they could talk. He smiled inwardly guessing that it was fate that brought her back to him.

After the show, he made sure no one was with her and came by to have a chit chat with her. She was exceptionally beautiful and had all shades of pink to her make up..

"Sorry, please who are you?" Tory demanded, after she was frightened by the man in front of her, smiling as though he was some sort of assissin.

"My name is Blade Liam and i have come to make you an offer that you cannot simply resist"

"Uhmm please I do not accept offers from people I do not know" Troy stated.

"You have not heard me out yet, have you?" Blade asked her.

"So I happen to love music and I must commend you on your performance on stage today, it was exceptionally beautiful" Tory accepted the compliment half heartedly not understanding where he was driving to just yet.

"I am offering you a contract to be my personal Nanny" Tory was in awe as he offered her such juicy contract.

"The thing is, I have been searching for a nanny all the while to help take care of my child" He wiped his face with a napkin before continuing.

"And as for your pay, I am offering you two hundred thousand dollar monthly for the service you are going to render, a place in my house and lots more to come" Tory felt like tearing up upon hearing the consideration that came with the offer.

"So miss, are you in or should I leave the contract for someone else?" Blade smirked.

"No, No sir I am in for it" Tory stammered a bit

“Very well then, here is my card and I do hope to see you tomorrow by seven pm at the infamous exquisite eatery?” the mob boss asked with a charming smile spread across his lips.

“Yes, I would be available” Tory stated happily.

“Alright; I will be going now, once again it is nice meeting you and am truly elated that you took the offer” Tory was in awe of the manner of man he was; first he offered her a juicy contract and now he was thanking her for accepting it?

“It is my job and i promise to do it diligently” Tory said firmly.

Once Blade left the hall, Troy felt like shouting in excitement and she felt herself being emotional at the same time; after the wait from college and numerous turn down of jobs, she was finally going to be working with a very rich man.

The following day came and at seven pm, Tory was already seated in the restaurant waiting patiently for the mob boss to arrive. She was surfing through her phone, when she heard the opposite sit drew back and she looked up and found the Mr. Blade looking rather handsome in his clean Tuxedo. His cologne was really enticing and it some how brought comfort to Tory. She mentally slapped herself and tried to convince herself to focus on the meeting rather than the man.

“So sorry I am a bit late, I was held up in a meeting via zoom and it wouldn’t elapse until past seven pm” he stated after getting himself comfortable on the chair

“It is no problem sir, I understand how busy your schedule” Tory knew without a doubt that he had his day planned out like every other business tycoon.

“So what would you like to have?” Blade asked

“I am quite okay sir” Tory raised his hand to stop her on her tracks right there.
