Yearning For The Badboy Mafia's Love: Chapters 1–5

CALISTA RAYMONDS

"Don't you think Martin is a little much hotter than his twin?"

"I don't know, not like I even care," I said and take out some cash, then pay the pumpkin man.

Emma walks to me, holding my arms tight.

"I still wish you can consider Martin, like, I know I'm your best friend but I wish he had ask me out. Are you even with your right sense when you turn him down? He is every lady's dream!" Emma kept on talking and talking.

I stopped walking and turn to look at Emma, she immediately went mute and pouts.

"What? I'm just jealous!" She whined.

"Quit acting 16, Should I call him and tell him you like him?"

Emma looked at me and sighed, then shakes her head sideways like a baby who just got yelled at.

"Good, So? the movie is almost starting, let's go and see it".

The movie already started when Emma and me walk in, so we had to walk quietly and we were not able to get to the front seat roll. The Movie was to last for an hour.

Emma and me walked out of the Movie house giggling and laughing at our jokes.

Emma and me have been friends for years, and the good thing is, that we live next to each other. Emma recently lost her father, so it's just her mother and her little sister, and me. My family and hers have the perfect timing and I am mostly seen with Emma.

After seeing the movies, we bought some Ice creams and start heading home, we decide to trek instead of taking a cab. It's just a twelve minutes walk.

" Did Mary show up at work today?" I ask Emma as she licks her ice cream and hummed.

"No why?" Emma replies.

"Nothing... You know, she's kind of owning me, and am out of cash " I sigh and put my hands in my pocket.

"She hasn't shown up at work for a couple of days now, I think when next she does, she'd come with her " I quit" letter, yunno?" Emma said grinning.

"She'd better pay me off before quitting. Am planning to stop working at the club though. Goodness, am so tired, but my mother will kick my butts if she even hears me say that" I sigh.

I work at one of the popular clubhouses in Russia and am surprised at how long I have lasted in the club.

Maybe because my manager is my father's best friend so he has to endure. I am actually the clumsiest and hardly last for long at a job, but it's been two months and I'm still working at the clubhouse.

"You better not have the thought. There's no more place for you to work here in Russia." Emma said laughing.

"Not Like I care, I mean, why do we have to work? hmm? All this bitches that come to the club and have us attend to them, are they any better than us?" I hissed.

"They are not the same as us. They have monies bow to their feet and we have to serve them for us to get our own money. every rich family started from somewhere, come on! we are almost home and it's getting dark already. "

"I just wish I don't have to go to work tomorrow and just sit at home celebrating my birthday. Gosh! it's not easy to be twenty, yunno?." I giggled.

"I'm excited for you. I'd come over tomorrow morning to be the first to wish you" Emma smiles.

"Nah! My mother will always beat you on that"

"I bet"

Minutes later, I opened the front door of our apartment after waving at Emma and then walked in. My father is sitting on the double couch reading a magazine and Mum is in the kitchen making dinner.

"Good evening daddy" I greeted and walk over to peck his cheeks.

"Welcome angel. How was work?"

"Urgh! I hate it" I told him and walk over to the kitchen. I sat on the counter and took some fried plantain from mom's bowl.

"You should have at least wash your hands, Angel." Mum cautions.

"I only took three. besides, am not hungry, just that I can't resist the smell of your delicacy" I said and mom smiled. She walks over to me and hugs me.

"I hope Omar was nice to you at work today? "

"Even if he's nice Mummy you know I hate to work so I don't think I'd ever appreciated him being nice. besides if he isn't nice to me, he'd better be looking out for another worker "

My mother laughs and goes back to dishing out the family food.

"Am so surprised and happy about how long you've lasted at the club. I have something special for your birthday tomorrow". She announces.

" A*! I know you'll always have a thing for me. I can't wait"

"I know, your dad had a long day. help me serve him dinner"

"Sure". I carried the already dished-out food and placed it on a tray, then carried it and walk over to where dad is sitting. I dropped it on the trouble and told him dinner is ready.

" I'll get you your favorite drink from the fridge" I smiled.

"Thank you, angel".

I walked to the fridge to get the drink while Mum dishes out my food and hers.

__

Dinner was over and I cleared the table room, it was always night so I kissed my parents goodnight and walk to my room. I locked the door and led back on the bed.. staring at the ceiling, I couldn't hid the excitement and smiles on my face.

I'm going to be clocking 20 tomorrow and I don't know why, but I felt that turning 20 will be so special for me.

I can't wait to see the gift my mother have for me. Smiling like someone in love, the only thoughts on my mind is the special day tomorrow will be, but I felt it with mix feelings like something bad will happen or have happen, I wave the thoughts away, tomorrow is for me and I don't have to think negatively.

Chase Draven Gotti walk into the family house with two of his guards thrilling behind him,

His two brothers Waylen Gotti and Rowan Gotti was already sitting down awaiting him.

"Chase, I called for you to be here at 8:15 and not put your own time. Waylen and Rowan arrived here five minutes ago and we have to wait for you?" Their father John Gotti said Strictly.

"I'm only fifteen minutes late, do you seriously have to make it a big deal? I have some business to handle so I don't always have to be there once you call" Chase replies.

"Don't talk to father like that, Chase". Rowan, the last son says.

" Oh yeah! now I have a baby to tell me what the shit to say and do? are you fucking me now? Don't puke your damn nose in my business or I will fuck you up!" Chase warns.

"Get your shit together Chase and sit your butt on that chair! Tell your damn men to leave my building" John said standing up already boiling in anger.

Chase sigh then waved at his Men and they immediately bow and left the warehouse. Chase went ahead to sit down and look over at Waylen , the first son.

There was silence for a couple of seconds until John Gotti cleared his throat.

"I called because I wish to announce that Rowan here, is ready to join the family business, He will be getting the Omertà once he had been introduced and know everything he needs to know,which you two, as his senior will have to guide him through" John Gotti announces.

"Damnit, Father! Rowan just turned 21! are you being serious? I got my Omertà at 25 even when I learnt the family business at 18" Waylen says.

"You are the first son and that's different! You need to put your shit together, everyone won't have to be like your pathetic ass, it takes time for every First son of a Mafia family to get his omertà, didn't you know that too?" Chase says.

Waylen, without hesitation, stood up from his chair and punch Chase in the face without blinking.

"You get your ass off my business!" He warns.

Chase smirks and rubs his hand on his chin, adjoining the punch on his face.

"Waylen! You don't dare hit anyone in my face, that's disrespectful and for that, I don't want you see you around this particular family house for the next 5 days, I don't want to see you around got that?."

"Fuck me, Father! Do you want me to sit down and watch him say shits? Whatever that happened is what everyone has gotten over with, if he can't get over the shit he better fuck off!"

"Waylen, get the hell out of my presence! you should know you are the first son and they all look up to you" John Gotti warns.

"Point of correction, I don't look up to nobody father. I'll leave first" Chase said and stood up.

"I didn't ask you to leave yet,"John Gotti said but Chase didn't pay attention to him.

He walked past Waylen and stops, then smirk.

"You watch your dirty ass, brother" Chase smiled and walked out of the warehouse.

Once he have step out, his guards walked up to him making sure he was okay. Chase enters his car and the chauffeur drives out of the compound followed by the convoy.

Back in the family house, John Gotti glared at Waylen who just stood there, Rowan sat down and just look at them.

"What you do that for?" John Gotti ask his first son, Waylen.

"Am out of here" Waylen said and walk out, leaving Rowan and their father, John Gotti.

John Gotti sigh and fell back on the chair.

"Are you okay father?" Rowan asks and walk over to hold his hand.

"Am fine, I just need your two brothers to get their shit together, there's no way they'll handle the Omertà for long if they continue like this" He tells Rowan.

"It will be okay, they are grown-ups and knows how to handle themselves. I'll visit Chase's house tomorrow."

"Come on, there's something I want to show you," John Gotti said and stood up, as he and Rowan walks to the basement.

CALISTA RAYMONDS

I was awoken by the voices I was hearing from the sitting room.

Stretching my hand , I reached for the cloth, it's just 5:45 in the morning.

My parents ain't the type that wakes up so early and even have to go to the extent of making their voices loud.

I have also not seen them in an argument so I couldn't guess where the voices was coming from.

Then I smiled when I remember what day it is, They must've been preparing me gifts that they forget to lower their voice, I smiled and assumed how disappointed Emma will be when she finds out my parents beat her to wishing me a happy birthday.

I took out my phone from under the pillow and unlocked it, I was about to check my messages when I heard a voice that sounds different from that of my parents and I can bet I have never heard the voice in my entire life.

Standing up and picking up my phone , i put on my flip flop then walked out of my room.

I tiptoed out of the room and walked to the sitting room, but there, I saw a man that was standing looking at my parents.

My father seems to be trying to keep things calm and my mum... Her expression is unreadable.

I don't wanna assume any bad thoughts so I decide to stand by the sitting room door for a couple of minutes and see the surprise they are planning .

From there i can hear and see what's going on but I noticed something.

When the man standing before my parents took off his sunglasses, I recognized him almost immediately.

He is Chase!

The second son of Mr John Gotti and a Mafia Boss. How can't I recognize him?

Updates about him and his family is always the top in the news feed though I hardly pay attention to details about them but I'll always recognize them.

I felt Chase to be proud and arrogant through the updates the media always share and so, I wasn't his fan but many girls are always praising him.

He have two brothers Waylen Gotti, who's the eldest and Rowan Gotti who's the youngest son and then Olivia, the only daughter but lives with her mother in America.

I felt frozen and my heart sank as I thought of every possible reason that have to make the member of the Gotti's family visit my parents and seeing how they discuss, it isn't their first time meeting.

Drown in my own thoughts I couldn't hear anything they were saying as I don't understand why my heart started beating faster than usual.

CALISTA RAYMONDS

"We just need more time and we'll sort things out. I need to talk to her." My father's words draw me out of my world.

"You know I can do whatever I want with you now and no one will say a damn about it. You agreed everything will be set once she turns 20, and you could have brought her to me yourself and I won't have to come here". Chase's voice came up next.

" I'm sorry Chase. But Calista didn't know anything about this and she'll hate us so much, please give us more time" My mum pleaded.

"What are they talking about?" I ask myself, confused as I couldn't seem to point a finger at what exactly they're talking about.

But I know that no matter what reason it is, seeing the most feared boy from Russia in my family house, I know it's no good.

"Don't fuck with me! I gave you five damn years and you still want me to give you time? The moment you stole from me is the moment you signed my wrath... And you have to pay with what your greatly cherish, I didn't take her back then because she's not up to age,but I am here now... As I promised you five years ago. She's no longer your possession, consider her something you Sold to stay alive"

"Please Chase, just this one last time. we are trying our best".

" Well, your best is not enough, and I am not leaving without her. don't make me say this again".

"Dad? What is he talking about?" I asked, walking fully into the sitting room.

I couldn't stand it any longer when I saw my mother's eyes water, If there's anything I hate, it is seeing my mother in tears.

"What are you doing here Calista! You should be asleep"

"You don't have to hide it from her. She's 20, she needs to know that she has to pay for the sins her father committed" Chase smirks.

"I have been standing at that door for that last eighteen minutes,

Mum, Dad. What did he mean by I have to pay for the sins you committed? is there anything going on here I need to know!?" I almost yell.

"Just a second please, " My mum said to Chase who was just sitting down looking at us.

"Calista, come over here". Mum drag me with her , leaving dad and the Chase guy in the sitting room.

" Why are you dragging me, Mother. Just stop and tell me what I need to know!?"

"Calista, You should be in bed still now, it's too early. Why are you up this early? C'mon, today is your birthday and you don't deserve to stress yourself, go up to you and we will come meet you later? I told you I have a surprise for you don't I?"

"A surprise? You mean, having Mr. John Gotti's second son in our house and talking about "sins committed" is the surprise! what the fuck mother?"

"Stop swearing Angel! please just head back to your room, I promise you, Your daddy and me will come up to explain this to you, I promise."

"No mother. No more plays, I deserve to know the truth mother, you can't hide it much longer and you know that, so why don't you go ahead and tell me what he's talking about and why he's here?"

"Calista!! Do not disobey me, head back to your room this instant!" She said and I could see how much she force herself to not yell at me.

I looked at my Mum and saw how tired and broken she is, I didn't want to stress her although Chase's statement was ringing in my head. I nodded and head back to the sitting room so I can walk back to my room. I was about to walk past when I heard my Dad...

"Chase,I was the one that stole from you not my family, please keep my daughter out of it and I'll pay the price"

"Remember five years ago? I asked you how you wish to pay for your sins, you said "Spare my life and take what's precious to me but not my life" so you see? You have to pay with what's precious to you" Chase said smirking.

"Father...." I call out, making him shake because he wasn't expecting my presence.

I was already in tears as I didn't want to believe what I just heard, today is my 20th birthday and my mother had promised me a special gift and I had woke up feeling so happy and new, only to get my day ruined in just a couple of minutes. I wanted to believe that what I just heard is a lie, a prank, but seeing My parents' expressions and the sadness in their eyes, I nearly lost balance thanks to the wall next to me.

With the tears rushing down my eyes, I stared at my father... betrayed.

"What is he talking about father, What did you stole from him?"

"Listen, Angel, Why not just go to your room and we'll talk this out later?"

"You know you're not helping matters! Don't make me stay here for more than I intended okay? Am already tired of being nice! Oh hell, you're not the only fucking person that can't tell their daughter the truth" Chase yell standing up.

I saw my father's leg shake and he was visibly trembling. My mom covered her face and cried.

"I don't care who the fuck you are! I won't let you talk to my parents like that!" I yell at him, I am angry at my parents but I won't have their respect on the floor while I'm here.

He smirked and turned to look at my father, His face has a different expression now and I swear he looks like a killer right now, I don't care if he's a Mafia or what, he lacks manners and that's the fact.

"Am sorry, Am sorry!" My father trembled and fall to the floor in an attempt to plead with him.

"Oh, Jesus Christ! Seriously father... What stupid sin! Hold on a minute..... Dad? You and Mum didn't give me ...out to pay for your mistake ,like he said. Did you?" I asked, shaking.

"Well... Now she gets it. Am waiting in my car" Chase said strictly and walked out of the house.

Leaving I and my parents whose faces already tells me a lot. But maybe, am just dreaming and need to wake up.

CALISTA RAYMONDS

"Why do you have to do that , Father? At fifteen I can start working if you guys have told me about the situation, You know how cruel the family is and you didn't think about how am going to feel " I confronted my parents after they told me about the debt stuff.

"We are sorry Angel. We were so blinded back then and all we could think of is not to lose you to the child service" Mother said almost crying.

"That doesn't have to make you a thief! If there's any family you shouldn't miss with, it's Gotti's"

There were silence...

"Father,you know he's going to come today right? please don't lie to me"

"Uhm... I wasn't sure if he's gonna come but the moment I heard a knock on the door while I was still in bed, I knew it was him."

"Then,why didn't you tell me?"

"Angel, we were scared you are gonna be angry with us and hate us forever for it, we thought we can get away from it and not involve you in it anymore".

" Hate you? why should I hate you? Yes,am pretty upset but not with what you guys did, Am upset that I have to hear about this from another person" I sighed and pulled them into a hug.

For the very first time in twenty years of my life, I see tears from my father's eyes as he cry like a baby.

"Am really sorry Angel".

" It's okay father. How long do I have to live with him? " I asked breaking from the hug.

"I don't know... a year or two. I promise you Calista, everything is going to be okay and you'll come back to us. You have to do this because you love us, if you don't then he's going to kill your mother and I. Chase is not someone to mess with"

I nodded and was about to say something when one of Chase's men came into the sitting room.

"Oh God!" My mother gasp and face palmed herself crying.

The guard dragged me up from where I was sitting, by now, I was already in tears.

This is the worst birthday ever. Waking up and realizing you've to go away from your family and live with someone you know little or nothing about with. I couldn't even kiss my parents good bye or tell them how much I love them.

The guard dragged me to a black range rover and push me in, shutting the door.

The glass was tainted and so when the car came to life, I couldn't see any one from outside.

The car stop once we were some couple of step away from my neighborhood. A man came into the range rover I was in and blind flooded me, then tied my hand behind me. I heard him shut the door and soon,the car began rolling.

_______

From the apartment window, Emma saw Calista enter one of the five cars packed outside their apartment and soon after, the car drove off.

She turned to look at her Mother who was standing next to her also watching the scene. She shakes her head negatively and sat down.

Her mother had woke up to go make breakfast when she noticed the cars parked outside Calista's apartment and she had drawn Emma's attention to it.

"Any apartment the Gotti's visits, its always a bad news to the family". Her Mother said from where she sat.

" Why did they take Calista with them, Mother? Does it mean I can't see my best friend again? She just turned twenty and today should be one of her best days in life."

"Come here Emma". Mum waved at her and she went to her and cried.

" Calista is too precious to deserve that, What mistake could her family had committed against the Gotti's?" Emma asked no one in particular.

"I don't know , Emma. listen, I know Calista is like an older sister to you and it's and will be pretty hard for you to wake up every morning without seeing her again...."

"Don't say that Mother. Calista is going to come back, She'll escape and she's going to come back for me".

Her Mum chuckle and rub her hair. " The truth is bitter Emma".

"This is Gotti's family we are talking about. If Calista was chosen by Waylen or Rowan, the first and last son, there are chances that she is going to return if she serves them well. But this is Chase, the most cold hearted among the three brothers, no one he claims have ever returned."

___

Rowan walked into Waylen's apartment and meet him working on his laptop, His expression changed once he sees Rowan at the door.

Rowan heard him tell his guard to tell him off, but he was already in.

"Are you being serious Waylen? I came to visit you and you told your man not to let me in?" Rowan cautioned him , sitting down on the double couch in his room.

"What do you want?" He asked without looking at him.

"Father sent me to you" Rowan replied.

Waylen stop for a while and look up to him, then sighed. He stood up and walked over to his bathroom, Rowan didn't bother him, he let him have his peace.

Minutes later, he walked back in.

"Why?" He said, looking at him.

"C'Mon Waylen. Why are doing this?, Am your kid brother and you seriously don't have to be treating me like am just a piece of shit. Where is the love we both shared? You took...."

"Shut the fuck up and tell me what you're here for dick!" He yelled grabbing Rowan's collar.

Rowan stare deep into his eyes but he was so angered.

"I wonder where all this hatred comes from. Go on, hit me! punch me I dare you!" Rowan yelled back at him.

Waylen raised his hand up in an attempt to hit him but he stopped half way, his hand was shaking already and that's a sign that he was already too angered. He let go of Rowan's collar and sigh.

"I need a smoke" He muttered.

Rowan watch him walk away from him and walk to his side desk, he pick up the pack of Cigarette and took out a stick, he lights it and puff out the smoke.

"Have you heard from Olivia and Mum? " Rowan asked him and walk back to sit down.

"No, why?"

"Father is worried about Olivia, she haven't call in for two days now."

"Are you fuckin me? It's just two days and not forever, does Dad really have to create a big deal out of everything. If he misses her , he can go get her in America '. He said and stared out of the window.

" That's not why am here though. Dad said the Russians are shipping some drugs to the new warehouse, he wants me to go with you this time" Rowan said and he just turned to him and scoff.

"How old are you again? 13? Goodness me, you suck!"

CALISTA RAYMONDS

I opened my eyes feeling so tired, weak and wore out. I felt empty like someone who got injected, on maybe I was injected.

I remember feeling a little pain on my arm seconds after I was blindfolded and then I didn't remember what happens next. Opening my eyes, I meet two other girls in the room with me and they were both staring at me like they've just seen a ghost.

"What?" I opened my mouth to talk to them but no word came out. I could only look at them nervously.

"Sorry if we made you uncomfortable, My name is Sophia and that's Isabella" The first girl , Sophia, introduces and won't stop smiling.

She's blonde and has a black eye ball, she wasn't that much of a pretty but she smiles a lot. The other girl, Isabella, has a black shoulder length hair with bun, and she's actually somehow, prettier than Sophia.

I nodded at Sophia's introduction.

"You should rest, we'll show you round the building once you've some energy, There's no more work to do for today. So we'll just show you around and you can start tomorrow" Isabella said and sat up from the bed.

There are three beds in the room and still enough space for more bed, the room is pretty wide and comfortable. it is painted blue.

"Actually, I don't think I need any more rest. How did you end up here?" I asked curiously.

"The same way you ended up here" Sophia snapped, getting up from the bed too, she walked to the last bed which was close to the wall, she opened the cupboard next to the bed and bring out a can of water.

"Paying for a debt?" I asked raising my eyebrow. I tried to get off from the bed but I couldn't move my body.

"You too? Haha!" Isabella said and laughed but when her eyes meet with Sophia, she immediately went mute and fake coughed.

"See? Sophia told you to rest. The drug still have an effect on you, Am sure it'll expire soon. So, get some rest and we'll show you around " Isabella said and immediately went to the other bed at the far end and climbed on it.

I looked at Sophia as she avoided making eye contact with me. Without being told, I know that I'm not the only victim here, I have to find out whatever my parents didn't tell me and I need to escape from here as soon as possible.

"Don't even think about that" I heard Sophia said. I look up to her.

"Hh?"

"We heard you, Don't even dream of escaping let alone, making an attempt, if you wish to live a little longer". She smiled at me and laid back on the bed, backing me.

Sophia and Isabella laid me outside the room after I have gotten some rest. Sophia is the most jovial and they both told me they've been here for three years but that was the only thing they said as it seems they have limit for whatever they are to say.

"There are some group of three girls you should avoid. We all here have our groups, the room you find yourself in, the people inside is your group. This three girls are the rudest especially Amelia, don't worry I'll show you when they come around". Sophia said.

" Give them six feet if you sight them, They've made my stay here horrible " Isabella said.

"Okay".

Sophia took my hand and laid me downstairs why Isabella walks behind us.

" It's our turn to serve Chase when he gets home tonight, so we should better hurry to the kitchen. " Isabella said, reminding Sophia.

"I know. Calista, we are going to reach you how to serve Chase. You are not allowed to make any mistake, and you're to put on a mask when serving him , Don't talk when he's taking no matter the kind of insult he gives you" Isabella said.

"I heard he's the most cold hearted and heartless among his other brothers" I said and Sophia immediately covered my mouth with her palms making me stop walking.

"Sheee! seriously Calista, don't let even a bug hear what you just said or you're gone." Sophia said and I nodded.

"So, this is the dining... You're are going to accompany us while serving him, I wonder why they haven't brought in your wears. Anyways, Chase always have his meal at 7:30, before 7:30 you should already be done with everything, you're not allowed to be a minute late in whatever. And,it's always our turn to serve him every four days. Just stay on a close watch and with time you'll learn everything. I can't show you round the house, it's not allowed, We can only tell you what you need to know about serving Chase, every other thing , you've to learn it and find your way by yourself " Sophia finally ended the long summon.

"Really, why is it so?" I asked.

"I don't know, because it's the rule. Come on, let's head to the kitchen" Sophia said and grab my hand as we heads to the kitchen.

"Uhm... Sophia! Amelia and her girls are still in the kitchen? shouldn't we wait for them to get out yet? Am tired to get scold and bullied again" Isabella whined.

"They bullies you?" I raised my brow.

"They bullies everyone, they are like the queens here while as they are just as miserable as us" Sophia sighs.

"Why do you let them bully you then?"

"Calista, it's not as easy as it looks. This three can get away with anything. We don't even dare complain to the boss, No one complains in this house. You just live like a slave that was given a little privilege" Isabella said.

With those words and the sadness in their voice, I began to miss Emma so much and wish she's with me.

Emma and me are the bully ourselves back then in school, we don't bully the weak, instead we bully those who tries to bully the weak.

So seeing Isabella and Sophia's niceness to me despite just meeting me, I was ready to defend them from Amelia and her clues.
