Candice, the new girl

THOMAS

I am happy that tom finds out about Emily, now anything can make us apart. Princess, I am coming for you, but I won't be lenient with you this time.

I will give you the taste that what it is like to be betrayed by the one you love the most.

I take out my phone from the pocket and called Thomas. He picked up my call in two rings

"yes, boss," he said over the call

"where are you and give me the address of where you have seen Emily," I said to him, and he text me the address

"meet me there, I am coming to take my Emily," I said to him and cut the call. I reached the address as soon as possible.

I am driving like a madman because soon I am going to meet the love of my life after 3 years. This has been a long and painful journey, but being in the mafia, I cannot care my pain with anyone.

I need to have a facade of a strong man,, but I need the love of only one woman and that is my Emily. I reached the destined address and get out of the car.

I find Thomas getting out of his car, too. I look at the small house in front of me, and I glared at tom that he took so much time to find out about Emily. Tom advanced his steps towards me and bowed his head in front of me.

"Boss, this is the house" he said to me

"are you sure that this is the house because trust me that if this is the mistake, then I am not going to spare you," I said to him and walk towards the house.

I knock at the door patiently and soon the door is opened by the middle age woman. She is looking at me with scared eyes and I love to see the fear in people's eyes for me.

"how can I help you sir" she asked me politely even though she was scared even at the sight of me?

"Where is Emily? Call her," I said to her without any expression on my face. I am getting impatient and this lady is looking at me. I am done with being civilized, so I take out my gun and point at her head.

"call her" I said to her and enter inside the house and sit on the sofa. Soon a man of middle age comes too, and he is scared to look at the gun in my hand.

"call Emily before I kill each one here," I said to him, and he gulped

"call her because my boss is not a patient man," tom said, and I hear the footsteps coming in my direction.I turned around to see, and my eyes filled with anger

"WHAT THE FUCK" I said loudly and get up from the sofa and grab the collar of tom

"she is not my Emily and you are so dead now," I said to him and put my gun on his head

"boss, she shares the same features as your girl, so I thought that you will be happy for her. I searched everywhere for your girl, but she is nowhere to be found, so I find the similar looking girl" he said to me and look at the girl who has certain features of my Emily.

She has same black hair and the outline of her lips are same. Her height is also the same as Emily, and she is looking at me with curious brown eyes,, but she is not my Emily and my heart didn't flutter looking at her.

"SHE IS NOT MY EMILY AND WHO GAVE YOU THE IDEA THAT I WANT THE SUBSTITUTE FOR HER," I screamed at him, and he pleaded me with her eyes

"give me more time and I promise I will find her but until then, look at this girl, she can entertain you until we find your girl," he suggested to me

"what is going on here" I heard the voice of the girl who has slight same features as Emily. Her voice is innocent, like Emily and my grip on to collar loses.

"boss, have mercy on me please. I won't disappoint you this time" he said to me, but I am looking at the sacred figure in front of me

"only one last time," I said to Thomas with my intimidating eyes

"leave before I decided to kill you," I said to him, and he run for his life from the house

"you are coming with me," I said to that girl, and she is looking at me with her doe eyes

"she is my daughter and I will die but won't allow her to come with you," the middle age man said and look at him with a bored expression because I will always get what I want. I look at him for the last time before firing the bullet on his right leg.

Both the ladies of the house screamed, and I have no time for the family drama

"what is your name" I asked the girl, and she looked at me with her quivering lips

"I am Candice," she said in her honey voice and I made my mind that she is perfect to entertain me until Emily comes back to my life

"sweetheart you are coming with me and don't you dare to argue with me because by now you must have understood that I am not a normal man and if you come with me, I promise that no harm will be done to your parents," I said to her grabbing her chin, and she is looking at me with doe eye.

Her father is lying on the floor screaming in pain and her mother is helping her husband and her daughter is looking at everything innocently

"be a good girl and follow me," I said to her, and she nodded her head like a lamp who will be sacrificed

"your daughter is saved with me don't worry, and soon the doctor will arrive at your doorstep to treat your husband and I think you are smart enough not to share this thing with anyone else," I threatened the middle age woman with a straight face.

I turned around to leave, holding the hand of Candice. I make her seat in the car and her cry of whimper is irritating me.

"calm down woman, I am not doing anything with you," I said to her and start the car

"then why you want me to come with you," she asked me in her soft voice

"what is your age," I asked her

"I am 23 years," she said in a meek voice. Emily must be 23 by now

"so Candice, listen to me very carefully, my intentions are not at all wrong towards you, but I want you to come with me because your face resembles the woman that I love, so calm down. I assure you that my intentions are not ill," I said to her and drive towards my penthouse because I can't take her home.

"so Candice, what you do for living" I asked her, and she looked at me with shocked expression

"I work in fashion industry" she said to me and I look at her appearance. Her dressing sense is okay and not so interesting.

"okay but from now on, you don't have to work because your future is secure, and you will stay in my penthouse with me," I said to her, and she is playing with her finger in nervousness

"when will I go home" she asked me in slow voice

"that I will decide, and you have to obey each and every command for me if you want the safety of your parents," I said to her in final tone and after that, she didn't ask any question from me.

I reach my penthouse and dropped her inside under the surveillance of my maid,, and then I left for my home. I never felt this betrayed in my life. I searched every corner for Emily,, but I didn't mind her. I am the fucking mafia and still, I can't have the woman that I love the most.

I turn my car and drive towards Emily's parent's home because I want some answers from them. I reached there within half an hour and knocked at their door. This place is so tacky that it affects my reputation to even come here.

The house is very small, if it is not for Emily, then not in my life. I will enter this place. Soon the door is opened by the little sister of Emily.

"hey sweet little Alice" I said to her with smile, and she gulped in fear. I shake my head. I am a mafia, but I have certain rules. I don't harm children.

"call your parents love" I said to her and enter the house

"mom and dad" Alice shouted for her parents who came out of the room hearing their daughter sound.

"hello beautiful couple" I said to them in mocking couple who were in old and dirt clothes that screamed that their financial condition is not good, and I am happy to see them like this because they dared to double-cross me.

"Emily is dead, then why are you bothering us" her father said, trying to control his anger, but he knows better than showing anger at me.

"Alice, you go inside and lock the door and no matter what happens don't come out of your room," I said to her, and she run towards her room

"let's have a chat," I said and sit on their pathetic excuse of sofa and they both sit in front of me with the scared expression on their face
