Mafia Psycho

At Knight's Palace

Rosaline's  P.O.V.

Today is the grand day of my life. Why? Because today I am going to get married to my "My Prince Charming".

Let me introduce myself. My name is Rosaline Browns and I am 21 years old. My boyfriend is none other than Xavier Knight, my childhood crush. Xavier is two years older than me. He is a billionaire and the most lucrative and renowned business tycoon of America.

Xavier proposed me last year. And guess what? Isn't it obvious? I happily accepted it. Who wouldn't accept if their childhood crush asked them to get married? Funny isn't it?

I've been in love with him when I didn't even know the meaning of love. I don't care if he is rich or not. For me love means Xavier. He also told me that I am the only girl in his life and he loves me from the depth of his heart.

Right now there are a bunch of makeup artists who are dolling me up. After getting ready, I finally checked myself in the mirror.

"Ma'am you look gorgeous", one of the stylists complimented me. I blushed at her comment. I took a last look at myself and was about to exit the room when all of a sudden my phone rang.

I checked the caller ID only to see my best friend Nick calling me. Nick is a secret agent working for U.S. Intelligence Agency.

Nobody knew his secret except me.

"You all go. I'll be there in a few minutes", I said to the girls. They nodded and left the room. I immediately picked up the call.

"Hey Nick wh-"

"Just open the window, Rosie".

I flinched after hearing his harsh tone. I immediately hurried towards the window and opened it. Nick then jumped into my room.

"Hey! Spiderman. Good to see you", I chuckled.

"I have no time for this bullshit, okay? Just take this", he spoke gruffly as he handed over me a file.

"What's this?” I asked him as I was completely bewildered by his behavior.

"Just see", he spoke in a stern tone. I don't know but all of a sudden my heart started beating faster. I was feeling so scared.

He then opened the front page of the file. My heart dropped in my stomach. All the blood got drained off my face. My hands started trembling in fear.

"It was a picture of Xavier with WANTED written under it in bold"

I immediately shot my head up with tears streaming down my face.

"What's this?" I asked Nick in a shaky voice. He then held my shoulders tightly and spoke while staring in my eyes guiltily. "I know I shouldn't have done this. But there is no option left to save you now." I looked at him confused although my heart was thundering wildly in my chest.

"What are you talking about?" I started panicking. Nick then took a heavy sigh and finally dropped the bomb.

"Rosie, Xavier Knight is a Mafia", I became stunned by his reply.

"He is not any fucking businessman, Rosie. He is the boss of the world's most dangerous and fearsome gang "THE BLACK SWAN". He lied to you. Xavier is madly obsessed with you, Rosaline. He is a dangerous lunatic who will do anything to have you. You as well as your parents are in a great danger. You need to run away from him now", Nick explained on one go while I kept crying and shaking my head in denial. I was not able to believe the bitter truth.

"NO... he won't d-", I couldn't complete my sentence when suddenly Nick clasped my mouth with his palms making me shut.

"Don't yell Rosie. I am just trying to protect you. If you scream they'll kill me", Nick rasped. My eyes widened.

'What the hell is going on?'

"But why? And why tell me now?" I whimpered. He sighed and removed his palm from my mouth.

"Rosie, I have been dying to tell you this since so many years but Xavier always kept an eye on me and forbade me to even meet you. You don't know, he had even tried to kill me many times but somehow I was able to escape from this beast's claws. You quickly need to leave, Rosie. We don't have much time". He tried to grab my hand but I pulled it away as I was still in a shock.

"No Nick!!I love him and he loves me too. He would never-

"DO YOU WANT YOUR PARENTS TO DIE?", Nick whisper yelled making me gasp in shock.

"Rosie, I can't explain you in detail now. You need to leave with me and don't worry about Uncle and Aunty, I will escort them secretly. Then you all need to rush to the airport and leave America quickly. I had already planned everything." Nick again tried to drag me but I didn't budge as I was still in a daze. He looked at me back.

"Please Rosaline, I beg you", he pleaded with teary eyes.

My mind became blank. I couldn't comprehend anything. He then held my hand and dragged me towards the window forcibly but before we both could leave all of a sudden a gunshot echoed in the room making me jump in fear. Nick fell down on the floor. I couldn't process what just happened now? Blood started oozing from his head.

"NICK!" I screamed as I saw his body covered in a pool of blood. I immediately bent down but a strong grip on my right hand pulled me back harshly. I turned around only to see a furious Xavier glaring me ferociously with a...

"GUN IN HIS HAND"

The reality hit me like a lightning bolt.

‘So Xavier is really a mafia’

"WHAT DID YOU DO?", I yelled angrily and freed myself from his death hold. I took few steps back as I glared him with red teary-eyes. Xavier cocked his left brow, his face was darkened with rage.

"What.did.I.do?" he growled menacingly. He walked closer to me with threatening steps, his eyes never leaving mine.

"What.were.you.trying.to.do.babe?"

He snarled with gritted teeth. My heart shattered into pieces. So all this was a lie. He kept me in dark for years. The castle of our love was built on a dark lie. I loved him, I trusted him and this is what I got in return.
