Mafia's First LOVE

Steve's POV

"Thud... Thud... Thud..."

I heard a loud knock on the door of my cabin. "What the hell?" I hurriedly opened the door and saw a cute boy crying, holding his hand. His hand was bleeding, and the blood drops were dripping on the floor. I pressed my fingers on his wound to stop bleeding and call the nurse.

"How did it happen?" I asked while wrapping the bandage around the wound. "How did you get a very deep cut? What were you doing?" He remained silent, like he was hiding something. I raised my brow and said, "It's a knife cut. You were fighting. Hmm?"

"No, they were bullying me. So I fought back, and then they hurt me with a knife." He said that and started sobbing.

My eyes opened wide. I made him open his shirt and noticed many bruises on his soft skin. "Oh shit!" I gasped. I treated all the bruises and asked about his family. But his answer made me feel bad.

He said, "I live in an orphanage, but the owner does not treat the kids properly, and he makes us work and also beats us a lot for making mistakes. And sometimes he doesn't even give us food, and if someone comes to adopt us, he asks for a lot of money, and when someone does not give, his anger also comes out by beating us.

Tears welled up in my eyes after hearing everything. I hugged him, patted his back, and asked, "What's your name?"

"Xavier."

"So, Xavier, now what will you do?" I opened the drawer of my table and picked up four toffees and gave them to him.

"I ran away from the orphanage and crossed the path of bullies while running. If I go back, they will again hit me, and the owner will beat me." He burst out in tears. My heart clenched seeing him cry like this.

I came to this city only a few months ago. This place was still new to me. And the flat that I bought for my living was also big for a person, so nothing wrong will happen if I keep this child with me. This kid will also get a safe place, and I will not be alone. Yes, it's right. I thought to myself and decided.

I wiped his tears. "Do you want to stay with me? I will make tasty foods for you." Hearing my words, his eyes shone, and he pouted. A soft laugh escaped from my mouth. I kissed his cheeks and again hugged him, caressing his hair. "Aigoo, you're so cute."

I closed the file and looked outside the window. It was already dark. I stood from my chair and then woke Xavier up, who was dozing on the couch in my cabin. "Wake up; it's time to go home." He rubbed his eyes cutely and nodded his head. I held his hand, picked up my bag, and walked out of the cabin.

After a 40-minute car ride, we reached my flat. "Go get fresh; I'll cook something for us." After showing him his room, I walked into the kitchen and wore an apron to start cooking. I liked cooking, so it didn't take much time, and I finished cooking three dishes in half an hour.

"Xavier!" I shouted from the dining room while keeping the bowls on the table. "Come out; dinner is ready."

He came out, wrapped in the towel. A laugh escaped from my mouth. "Oh, so you don't have anything to wear. Let me see what I can give you." I entered my room and opened the cupboard. I picked up one big-size T-shirt and then walked out of the room.

"Wear this. It will cover you completely. We will go shopping tomorrow." I extended my hand, holding a T-shirt, to him. Without saying anything, he took the T-shirt and ran inside. "Okay, so he is shy." I murmured.

He came out wearing my T-shirt, and he was looking too cute. My T-shirt was covering his body completely, reaching below his knees. A smile came to my face when I looked at his cute face. "Come and sit here. Let's eat."

He walked slowly and stood beside me. I picked him up and made him sit on the chair. I served food on his plate and sat next to him. He was looking at his lap while playing with his fingers. "What happens? Why are you not eating? You don't like what I cooked? Shall I cook something else?" I asked. He shook his head and remained silent.

"Tell me what happened." I asked him lovingly. I put my hand on his head. He looked at me and jumped to hug me. I caressed his back, calming him down. I heard a sob escaping from his mouth, so I broke the hug and asked again, "Bun, tell me."

"Uncle, the owner will beat my friends and won't give food to them." He started crying, and it clenched my heart, thinking how pure-hearted the kid was. "I am missing my friends. Please help them too." He looks at me with his pleading eyes. This kid got a place to leave and food to eat, but he was still thinking about his friends.

"Let's not think about this now. You eat. We will go there tomorrow. Okay?" I wiped his tears and ruffled his hair softly. He nodded and then started eating slowly.

After dinner, when I moved towards my room, Xavier asked, "Can I sleep with you? I am a little scared."

"Of course, come with me." I said and he walked with me inside the room. He laid down on my bed and curled his legs inside the blanket. The whole night I couldn't sleep as the only thing in my mind was about the orphanage.

The next day, I was standing in front the orphanage, holding hands of Xavier. I sighed, saying, "Let's go inside."

"No, Uncle. You go inside. The master will hit me." Xavier said it with a scared face. When I looked at his face, I found him pleading with his eyes.

I scooted down at his level. "Nothing will happen. I am with you. If he tries to touch you I will beat him. Okay?" I gave him an assuring smile.

When I entered the orphanage office, I saw a heartbreaking scene. A man in his fifties was drinking alcohol during the day, keeping his feet on the table, and 2-3 small kids were cleaning the room. He was also abusing those kids verbally.

"WHAT'S GOING ON?" I shouted with my whole heart. I instantly walked close to that man and held his collar. "How dare you abuse small kids like this? I will report you to the police."

He grabbed my hand and harshly pushed me, freeing himself from my grip. "Who the hell are you? How did you enter without my permission?"

When he pushed me, I stumbled at my feet and was about to fall, but Xavier helped me. "Uncle! Are you okay?" I held his small hand and assured him that I was fine.

"Oh! So this piece of shit brought you here. Let me handle him first." He looked at Xavier and marched towards him, but I stood in front of him, securing Xavier behind me.

"I will report you to the police, and they will handle you." I took out my phone and typed the police's number. I thought he would stop me, but instead he started laughing like a maniac.

He laughed and sat on the chair with his legs on the table, like the leader of a gang. "Do you really think the police can touch me?" I raised my brow and glared at him. He continued, "I keep them in my pockets."

The anger was building inside me, and I couldn't control myself. I made him stand by grabbing his collar and punched his face. "You bastard, I will not spare you. People like you should not live on this earth." I was continuously punching him. Hearing my loud sound, all the kids came running and surrounded us.

But then I felt a hard push from behind. Two men were trying to stop me from hitting the master of the orphanage. The master stood up and looked at me in anger. His lips and nose were bleeding because of my punches. His two men were holding me from both sides, and I was struggling to get free from them.

"You bastard, don't you have any shame? You are abusing small kids." I shouted, feeling my anger increasing inside.

He stood in front of me and said through clenched teeth, "You don't know who I am. I will bury you alive, and no one will even know." His words scared me a little, but I didn't show it to him.

I wanted to hit him badly, but his men were holding me tightly. He laughed at me, seeing me struggling with his men. I had to do something so that the smile on his face went away, so I spat on him. But his next action scared me; I thought I was going to die. He cleared his face angrily and pulled my hair harshly. He threw me on the floor, and then he raised his fist to hit me, but someone's sound stopped him.

"What is going on here?" A very deep voice came from the gate, and everyone turned to look at the person.

I couldn't see the face as that bastard was standing in front of me, but as soon as he saw the man at the gate, the master started shivering in fear.

I tilted my head a little to see who the man was. The man was wearing a whole black dress, and his face was covered with a mask. His aura was too dark and two men were standing behind him with guns. I was staring at him without realising that he was glaring at me.

I broke eye contact with him and pushed those two men who were holding me tightly. I freed myself and then stood aside with the kids, observing everything. He walked, still his eyes on me, and then sat on the chair, like a king.

Alex's POV

I was thinking about something, but my attention got distracted due to the sudden stop of the car. I was about to shout at him, but then I noticed that the driver stopped the car in front of a big mansion. I gave it a quick glance and then put a cigarette in my mouth and lit it up. The bodyguard opened the car door, and I came out. Every guard was bowing and saluting me with every step I took towards the mansion. My Mansion.

The whole mansion was covered with an army of my men. I reached near the gate, and my bodyguard opened the gate for me as soon as I stepped inside. The sound of laughter stopped, and two pairs of eyes landed on me, my best friend, and the maid.

Samuel is my best friend. He was the only person to whom I gave all the rights to be with me, and he was the only reason I believe in a little bit of humanity; otherwise, I would have burned the whole world to get my revenge, which was still not finished yet.

I sighed and shook my head in disbelief. He was the only person who used to talk with everyone friendly. I walked further and sat on the sofa, across from Samuel. "What's so funny?" I asked. The maid bowed and left for the kitchen.

"Oh! The king is here. Do I also need to bow to you, Your Majesty?" Samuel said it playfully and snuggled beside me.

"Cut the crap; what are you doing here?" I moved away from him and adjusted myself.

"Why? Can't I come to meet my friend?" He tried to hug me, but I pushed him away and glared at him. He laughed at my action and settled down on the sofa properly.

The maid came with two cups of coffee and one glass of water and kept the tray on the table. I took the glass of water and asked, "Any updates?"

"Nope," Samuel leaned in, took a cup of coffee, and said, "The owner is very greedy. He is not even ready after offering $10 million. He is asking for more." His words confused me, and I looked at him with a raised brow.

He glanced at me and said, "Don't look at me like this. I know what you're thinking. Yes, we can give him money, but I don't want to. He is greedy and will create problems in the future. I want a permanent solution for him, and he is also not worried about orphan kids."

"Then burn them all; that's it; you've got the solution." I said this while sipping the coffee.

Hearing me, Samuel chocked and coughed, "Are you mad? Kids will die, and I won't allow anyone to do it." He said this, and I looked at him, realising how serious he was looking while saying this.

I knew Samuel from childhood. We grew up together, and together we created our world. He was also the partner in my business, and he was the only one who used to talk with me friendly; otherwise, others only shivered in front of me in fear. I was well aware of how much he loves kids, and that's why he was trying other options instead of killing to snatch the land.

"Did you tell him about us?" I asked.

"Hmm, I did. That idiot took it as a joke." He chuckled and glanced at me. "I think you have to work today." He said this and then leaned back, resting his head on the sofa.

I stayed silent and turned my face to look outside the large glass window. The sun was shining brightly. I checked the time; it was 11 a.m. in the morning. I didn't want to kill someone, but I don't like people who don't listen to me. I stood and ordered, "Let's finish this matter."

When I reached the front of the orphanage, the sound of shouting was coming from inside. The door was open, and I could see the things happening inside. Two men were holding a man, and he was screaming. The owner was about to raise his hand to hit him when I stopped him.

"What is happening here?" I shouted, and then everything fell into silence. The owner turned and looked at me, his eyes wide in shock. He started trembling, and I could see fear in his eyes. On the other hand, the man who was held by two men pushed those men and stood aside with the kids.

While walking inside, I was glaring at the owner and those men who were not ready to give the land to me because of their greed. But I could also feel someone's gaze on me. I turned my eyes to the man and found him staring at me.

The man had brown hair and ocean blue eyes. He was wearing glasses and looked nerdy. His colour was fair, and his cheeks turned a slight hint of pink as soon as he saw me watching at him. His lips were bleeding from the side. A sudden range of anger increased in my body, and I felt like shooting the owner of the orphanage on the spot for hurting the man.

I sat on the chair and kept my feet on the table. I was about to say something, but before that, a smooth voice came. The man said to the owner, "I will see you later, and you better don't touch kids; otherwise..." He didn't complete his sentence and then glanced at me. He held one kid's hand and then walked out.

His voice did something to my heart. I was looking at his disappearing figure, and then I smirked. A doll, my doll

********

"Did you find him?" I asked while my eyes were still on the paper I was holding.

"Not yet." One of my men said this and stood with his head down. I gritted my teeth and crushed the papers and three of them.

It was already one week, and my men couldn't find my doll. I don't know where he has gone. Did the earth eat him or did the sky swallow him? In this one week, I couldn't sleep properly. This was the first time that someone else had appeared in my dreams instead of my flame of revenge. His blue ocean eyes were not letting me sleep.

"You have only two days to keep your family safe." I warned my man, who couldn't find my doll yet.

"Si....Sir ?" The man stammered in fear.

"GET OUT AND FIND HIM." I shouted.

Steve's POV

I was checking the files of my patient when I received a call from my house. "Uncle, when will you come? I am scared." Xavier spoke as soon as I received the call and put it on speaker.

"My strong boy, don't be scared; I will come in an hour. Okay?" After talking with him for a few minutes, I cut the call and started working on my files. After some time, I finished my work and packed my things.

I was driving, but I felt like one car was following me. And that car was following me for a long time. I had increased the speed of my car a little so that the car would stop following me.

Well, it had been like this for a week since I came back from the orphanage that day. Whenever I came back from the hospital, I noticed that someone was following me.

The road was empty, but the traffic lights ahead were about to turn red, so I thought that when the car stopped there, I would ask him why he was following me. And as soon as mine and that car stopped at the red light, four people came out of the car and forcefully started opening the door of my car.

As my car was locked from inside, it couldn't open, but I got scared. I had just turned the key to start the car when one of the men broke the glass of the car. He tightly held my hand and tried to stop me.

"What the hell! Who are you, and what do you want?" I shouted and tried to free my hand from that man's grip. Some pieces of glass had stuck to my hand, and blood had started coming out of that place.

One of the men said, "You come out first, and then we will tell you what we want from you." The man who was holding my hand unlocked the car door and then grabbed my collar, dragged me out, and threw me in the middle of the road.

All four of them were holding knives in their hands when they started kicking and punching me. I was trying to stop them with my hands, but it was no use; they were not stopping. "Why are you hitting me? What do you want?" I asked in the midst of their beating. I thought they were thieves and would ask for money, so I offered myself. "If you want money, I can give it to you."

As soon as they heard what I said, they suddenly stopped. I really felt that they had come only for money, so I immediately took out cash from my wallet and watch and passed it towards them. One of the men took them from me, but another guy pushed me hardly and hovered over me.

I realised that they were going to kill me, so I pushed that guy and started running. I was trying to run away, but my whole body was hurting. I looked back and saw that those 4 men were also running and chasing me, and my attention got diverted from ahead, and I stumbled on a stone and fell.

Even before I could get up, all those men stood around me. "Now where will you escape? We have taken money to kill you; we will leave only after completing the work." Said a tall man who had broken my car's glass.

As soon as I heard his words, a strange wave ran inside me. "Do not do this. What harm have I done to you? I don't even know you guys. Please leave me." I pleaded in front of them, but they started laughing.

One shorty man leaned over my level and said, "Hey guys, he looks cute while pleading; why don't we have some fun before killing him?" His words scared me to the core. Were they going to... No! No! I couldn't let them touch me. I had to run.

Without thinking anything, I pushed that guy and again started running with all my strength. I was running in the dark without any hope when suddenly a car appeared in front of me. I couldn't think of anything, and I ran towards the front of that car.

As soon as I threw myself in front of the black car, the driver of the car applied brakes and stopped the car. I quickly got up and went to the driver's side, knocked on the window, and asked for help. "Please help me. Please." My eyes started tearing, and I started feeling dizzy, but I had to keep myself safe. I was continuously banging on the car door and also looking around because footsteps were starting to come close to me.

When no one came outside the car, I turned to run to the right, but one man stood there and stopped me. I turned left, and a man was already there. I was surrounded by those bad people. One of the men dragged me towards the opposite side of the road, holding my nape, and dropped me.

The man was trying to open the buttons on my shirt, and I was trying to stop him. I pleaded with them, tears streaming from my eyes, "Please let me go. Leave me." I was struggling to get free from them.

My eyes were teary, and I also lost my specs, so my vision was blurry. I couldn't see, but then I felt a hand on my chin and a voice near my ear: "Relax, baby boy. It won't hurt you. You will also enjoy." I heard a loud chuckle and got more scared.

Suddenly, the sound of a gunshot came from somewhere, and the man who was holding my chin lost his grip and fell on me. I gasped and looked in the direction of the car. I saw a dark figure standing near the car.

"RUN or die." A strong yet recognisable voice burst through the air, and I jumped up and ran towards it to save myself. But before I could reach the dark figure, I fell because of my twisted leg. I whimpered in pain and felt helpless.

I raised my head a little and looked at the dark figure and extended my hand for help, expecting that he would help me, and I didn't get disappointed. The dark figure pulled out his gun and then said, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" He shot the remaining three guys.

The dark figure took his steps close to me, and before I could see his face, I felt a sharp pain in my head, and I lost my consciousness.
