The Shark Mafia Boss

Chapter 23 - Panic Room

Olivia POV

I walk towards Raphael standing between the gun and Tammy and Raphael puts his gun away.

“What the fuck are you doing standing in front of a gun?”

“Let her go” – I ask him

“GO” – Raphael shouts not taking his eyes off of me

I see the girl running away with tears, I feel bad for her, I know she tried to deceive me, but she doesn’t

deserve death for it.

“Kiss me” – I say to him trying to calm him down.

Raphael kisses me and I throw him onto the bed and straddle him. I can feel his cock growing

underneath me.

“You will be the death of me” – he says pulling me closer to him

“And you will be the death of me” – I say back letting my hands play with his messy hair.

A few days went by and all I did was sleep, have amazing and endless sex, and read. Raphael got me

a new phone as he broke my old one. He got me an iPhone 11 and it’s linked to his account, he didn’t

lie to me, he told me he needed to know at all times where I was. I know it is a bit creepy but I find it

endearing.

I haven’t heard from Lucas and I started to feel like I was going to lose my job. As Sunday night arrived

and we were having dinner outside near the pool I ask Raphael if I could go back to work, he tensed.

“Why do you want to go back?”

“Because it is my life, and I actually enjoy my job” – I say

“I’ll get you a job at my company”

“Raph, please, I like my job, and I am safe inside NYU”

“Olivia, I don’t trust Lucas” – he lets out

“Do you trust me?” - I ask and automatically I regret asking, I don’t want to know if he doesn’t trust me.

“I do, but there are some dangerous people around, I need you to be safe”

“Okay, so let’s negotiate” – I say

“No”

“Raphael, be reasonable, I’ll have Michael with me, I will always have my phone on and with me, I will

answer the phone whenever you call, but I need to go back to work, I have my student loan to pay”

“I will pay for it” – he says and I choke

“No you will not, I need to do it, please Raphael, I know you are not telling me something, something

big, and I know you care about me, so please let me go back to my life, I feel like a prisoner with sexual

benefits” – I let out

“Fine, but you will move in with me” – he says

“I can’t come back here every day, it’s too far away”

“Into my penthouse” – he says and I smile

“Fine, only until you find it safe for me to go back to my house”

“You’re not going back, ever, I’ll have Michael and Joseph pick up all your stuff and take it to the

penthouse”

“I want to pack my own stuff, I don’t feel comfortable with them packing my stuff”

“Why do you have to be so stubborn?”

“Why do you have to be a control freak?” – I say standing up and storming off into the bedroom and

locking the door behind me.

He is driving me crazy, he is overprotective and now I can’t even pack my own shit? He’s not even my

boyfriend, every time I brought it up he says “I don’t do relationships”, I curse and kick the chair letting

out a cry when my toes hurt.

I pace inside the bedroom and I decide to have a bath and try to calm down. I walk into the bathroom

and turn on the water on the bathtub, and throw some bath salt inside and a bath bomb. I turned the

light off after lightening some candles and grabbing a glass of wine from the private bar we had inside

the bathroom.

I grabbed my phone and turned my Spotify on with some Ed Sheeran playing softly and I undress

myself getting inside the tub. I took a sip of the wine.

I allow my body to relax and I start to drift into sleep, I wake up with a big bang, it frightened me to my

core, I get up and wrap my body on the bathrobe and walk outside the bathroom to notice all the lights

were off and there were gunshots everywhere.

I run into the dressing room as was the only room without any windows and only the door, I fell on the

floor on my ass and hugged my legs against my chest. My mind was flying. I was worried about

Raphael if he was hurt.

I don’t know where this strength came from but I got up and got dressed in the first things I saw, a pair

of skinny jeans and a button-up red shirt. I looked around for a gun, he had to have a gun here

somewhere.

I started opening all the doors and drawers until I found one gun inside his socks drawer. I grabbed it

and pointed it at the door, if someone walked in to hurt me I would shoot, I never used a gun before

and it scared me.

From behind me, I heard a door opened and it confused me as I was inside the dressing room and

there was only one door. Looking behind me I see one set of the shelf’s moving as a door and

Michael’s face showing up.

I started to hyperventilate and he walks towards me grabbing the gun and taking it from my hands

“Hey, Hey, look at me”

I lift my eyes towards his and he smiles gently

“I need you to come with me” – he says and I nod

He grabs a pair of Converse All start trainers and throw them at me “Put the shoes on” – he says and I

do it fast.

I walk towards him and he guides e through the tunnel behind that hidden door that closed behind me.

We walked down a set of stairs and it was dark.

“Get in” – he says pointing at a door

“This is a panic room, I need you to stay inside and only come out when you hear Raphael”

I nod but then fear takes over – “Can we have like a secret word? Because what if they force Raphael

to come and open the door?”

“Okay, we will say the name of your favorite animal, does Raphael know?”

“Yes” – I reply

“Good, now get in and set the code you want”

“How?” – I ask shaking

“The code is 0405, press it twice after * and then it will ask you for a new code and I need you to put a

6 digit code”

I nod my head and Michael gives me the gun back – “there are food and water for 5 days in here,

there's a bed and a tv and cameras from the house, you will be able to see what is happening all

around, the only place without cameras is Raphael’s room and outside of the panic room” –he says and

I nod.

I look at the screens and Michael closes the door leaving me alone inside.

I press the code 0405* and then it asked me again and I pressed 0405* and decided to change the

code to 135791*

When I finished I sat down looking at the screens of the man shooting everywhere and I couldn’t find

Raphael.

My hands were shaking and my eyes got blurry, my heart was racing.

I kept looking at the screens looking for Michael and Raphael and I couldn’t see them. In the meantime,

some of the cameras stopped working and I blinked confused.

It felt like hours and the shooting stopped and I saw Raphael’s men checking every room for survivors

and injured men, no sign of Raphael.

My heart was racing and I wanted to get out but I couldn’t. Not until Raphael came to me

I felt myself slide down against the wall and hug my legs, I was crying. I felt my chest tight. And without

a doubt, I heard someone knocking at the door. I stayed quiet.

“Olivia, Open the door” – I heard Raphael

“Raphael?” – I asked, there were no cameras so I didn’t know if he was alone.

“Shark” – He said and I got up and pressed my fingers on the numbers to open the door.

When the door opened I saw a bloody Raphael. His clothes were covered in blood and he looked Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

hyped.

I gave one step back looking at him, his blue eyes were dark and he looked worried.

“Are you hurt?” – he says walking in and touching me, making me turn so he could see me properly.

I shake my head and he hugs me.

“I was worried” – I said

“I know baby, I am sorry” – he said

“Who? Why?”

“I will explain all of it later, now I need to get you out of here” – he said and I nod my head in

agreement. I hold on to his hand while he leads me out of the place the panic room was, we exit

through a bookshelf in his office.

He keeps walking grabbing my hand and takes me to a car. I sit inside and he slides next to me.

I hug him not carrying about the blood he had all over him, I need to feel him close. He hugs me back

and pulls me to sit on his lap. I straddle him and he kisses me in despair. I feel it, he is scared and he

needs me as much as I need him.
