Stalked by the Mafia Boss

“I am sorry.” Jace apologised for the umpteenth time but korina still said no word, “Please talk to me, please.”

“I want you to leave.” She said finally speaking, she still hadn’t lessened her glare on him, “I don’t want you here.”

“You still haven’t given me a chance to explain myself.” He said to her, she really was stubborn, “You haven’t heard me out yet.”

“What’s your excuse uhn?” She growled at him, “Look I have been through this whole process. You already gave the memo, I get it, you ignored me for days without explanation and now you are here, for what?”

“I came to explain myself, jeez!”

“What do you wanna say?” She rolled her eyes, “Talk, explain yourself.”

“Please sit down.” He pleaded gesturing to the sofa.

She huffed and took a seat, “Speak.” She said.

“Look, I had…” Jace started but was rudely cut off by Korina.

“Anytime a man starts with the word ‘look’.” She yelled, “He is about to lie.”

“Korina.” Jace sighed, “Would you please let me at least talk.”

“No! Get out.” She glared at him, “You aren’t even my boyfriend yet and you are acting like this.” She mumbled with her hands folded across her chest.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“So you want me to be your boyfriend?” Jace smirked, her words raising his hopes, maybe she actually likes me?

“I… i… never said that.” Korina muttered looking away from him, “Leave my presence please.”

“Look Korina.” He stood up and joined her where she sat, “I had been through rough patches these past few days and I promise you, you wouldn’t want to get involved.”

“Really?” She turned to him, “Why make me feel special if I can’t get involved in your life?” She questioned and told herself that she had to tone it down, she wasn’t his girl nor his wife.

“I am sorry for making you feel bad.” He apologised, “What matters is that I am here now.”

Korina sighed and turned to him, “I thought you left Jace.” She let him hold her hands, “I thought it was happening all again and…”

“Shh.” He brought a finger to her lips silencing her, “I am never leaving you I promise.” He said, not even in the after life, he thought but not saying the words out loud, he didn’t want her thinking he was a freak.

As they laid there watching television, Korina felt weird that they were acting like a couple, she looked up at him and her eyes met his.

“I caught you staring.” They both said and then laughed.

“What were you staring at?” Jace asked Korina meeting her gaze bodly.

“I was admiring you.” She reached out a hand and grazed his face with her finger tips, “You are quite handsome, have I ever told you that?” She asked and was shocked by her boldness.

She wanted to stop, afraid that she would tell him about how she felt.

“Do you have feelings for me Korina?” He asked suddenly wanting to be sure so he could push things faster than they were.

“No!” Korina sat up immediately, “No, I don’t have feelings for you.” She shook her head lying to him and Jace’s face fell but he quickly braced up not wanting her to see it.

“Are you sure?” He asked again.

“Yes Jace, I am.” She replied, “We are just friends hanging out and stuff. Nothing special or serious.”

“What?!” Jace stood up hurt by her words, “Nothing special or serious?” He repeated what she had said.

“Look Jace…”

“Save it Korina.” He said sternly, “Is that how you see this? If it was nothing special or serious, why hang out with me? Why get mad that I ghosted on you for over a week? Why get angry that I didn’t tell you what was going on?”

She just stared at him not knowing an answer to give, she opened her mouth to speak but closed It on seeing that no reasonable words could come out.

“Am I a joke to you Korina?” He asked.

“No Jace, you are not, I didn’t mean it like that.” She reached to touched him but he flinched.

“Then damn! Why do you keep acting like this, leading me on only to withdraw?”

“I don’t know what you are talking about.” She lied.

“You don’t know what I am talking about?” He glared at her walking closer to where she stood, “you come close to me, touch me, go on dates with me, laugh and Joke with me.

Well, very well you know I have got feelings for you but you keep giving me mixed signals. These past few days I have been in shambles but also had a glimmer of hope that you asked after me and got angry that I ghosted. It made me believe that at least you felt something for me, but what now? It’s suddenly nothing special.”

Korina just stared at him as he let it all out, he let out all he felt in one deep breath, tears welled in her eyes, she could see that he was hurt through his eyes, he wasn’t really good at hiding his emotions.

“What?!” He voice was raised, “You are suddenly speechless.”

“Jace…” She called hoping he would listen, how was she suppose to let him know that she was scared, scared to get her heart broken again, scared to be used over and over again.

“Swear you don’t feel anything for me Korina.” He moved way too close to her, “Swear it and I would leave never to bother you again.”

“I…” She couldn’t finish her words, she just looked up at him, he was way to close now, their bodies touching, his breath fanning her face.

“Swear it?” He whispered.

Korina looked up at him, into his gleaming grey eyes, she didn’t have to swear, she had to show him.

She grabbed him aggressively by the collar and pulled him down smashing her lips onto his.

Jace was moved by shock, she’s kissing me? This is happening in real life, his thoughts were excited.

He tried to match the pace of her lips, their tongues englufed in a heated erotic dance.

This kiss was better than they both imagined. He pulled her closer by the waist and dominated her mouth, she moaned into submission.

After their heated lip lock, they pulled apart trying to catch their breaths.

“Korina, you stole my first kiss, you are automatically my girlfriend now, no buts!”

First kiss, She stared at him wide eyes, what did he just say?

She had no time to think as he grabbed her by the waist, squeezed her ass and smashed his lips onto hers again, his mouth claiming hers.
