The Mafia Don's Runaway Wife
Chapter 2 - The Songbird
In the heart of Mixmillan, a club called "The Songbird" was the place to be.
Located in the centre of the grand capital city of Miria, it was a prime location to party and have fun without worry.
While people normally go to clubs wearing their best clothes in the hopes of scoring a date, I was walking through the city barefoot and in my pajamas, with only a robe covering me.
You could be sure, I got some weird looks from the wrong kinds of people.
Stopping outside "The Songbird", the line wrapping around the building like a snake, the bouncer took one look at me before letting me in.
The outrage from the line was obvious.
Party Girl
Hey, this isn't a hotel!
I ignored her and walked inside, immediately surveying the club.
As bustling and busy as usual, I felt satisfied enough to walk up the stairs guarded by two men who immediately stepped out of my way, not daring to question my choice of attire.
I walked up the steps, my feet cold and hurt from walking on concrete bare, and I ended up sitting in a large red leather chair right in the centre of the empty area.
I sat there for two seconds before a door opened, and a man walked out to greet me.
Kai Blackburn
Ari, I wasn't-
He immediately stopped speaking once he noticed how I was dressed.
He also noticed the bulging pockets of my nightgown, which I slipped my hands into and removed not one but two handguns.
Aria Summers
It seems that I had unexpected company at my house...
Kai Blackburn
Are you hurt? Your feet...
I looked down and noticed that one of my heels was bleeding. I hadn't even noticed.
Kai got up and rushed towards his office before coming out with a basin of water, some disinfectant and some bandages.
Kai Blackburn
What happened?
I looked at him while he washed my feet and sighed, falling back onto the back of the seat, trying to withstand the sting.
Aria Summers
My father happened.
Aria Summers
From the brief conversation I picked up, it seems that he's sold me.
Kai Blackburn
Wait, sold you-
Kai Blackburn
Aria, that's illegal-
Aria Summers
The law is more society's guideline to the people that he seems to have sold me to.
Kai Blackburn
Aria... you should have moved out when you had the chance!
Kai Blackburn
We can get you living somewhere safe.
Kai Blackburn
Surely they'll leave you alone once you go into hiding for a bit.
Aria Summers
I don't know. For some reason, I feel like these people collect what they are given.
Aria Summers
Anyway, do you still have that change of clothes that I left here?
Aria Summers
Good... enough people have seen be in my sleepwear today.
Aria Summers
Also, extend tonight's closing hours to 8am.
Aria Summers
I want this place busy for as long as possible.
Aria Summers
When people start passing out, tell me?
After he bandaged my feet up, he looked up at me and frowned.
He stared at my injured feet, his eyes looking like they were about to tear up.
His fingers brushed down my legs, his expression filled with an intense stillness.
Kai Blackburn
I'll kill him for what he's done.
Before I met him, Kai was a hitman, and a very good one at that.
However, I didn't employ him here to have one on hand.
He looked up, observing my stern expression before sighing, leaning his head against my knees.
Kai Blackburn
Right... no killing anymore.
Kai Blackburn
I'm sorry, I just got so angry.
Kai Blackburn
I normally get used to dealing with blood, but for some reason, when it's yours, I-
Guard
Boss, someone is here to see you.
Kai's head lifted up and he got off of his knees to face one of our security detail.
Kai Blackburn
Right, my 4am appointment...
He turned back and looked at me, feeling guilty.
Kai Blackburn
Your outfit is in my office closet.
Kai Blackburn
Try not to walk on your feet...
Finally, time to get out of this and put on something a little more suitable...
