My five husbands by Loren rivera (classic novels for teens TXT) 📗

Eva: Yes. Let's go. I am tired and I really need a bath. 

              We got in the limo. We dropped Christiana off at the guy's mansion and reached the mansion.  Everyone went on their separate ways to their respective rooms. I was also hella tired. Walking was also very difficult but I managed to do it. I wanted to take a long warm bath. Guess, I have to wait for some more time. Granny was sitting on the chair reading scrolling through her phone when she saw me come in. 

Norelei: So you girls enjoyed yourselves? 

Nora: Yeah very much. I am very tired. I need a long relaxing bath. 

Noralei: Wait, young lady, why aren't you wearing clothes from last night? 

Nora: Oh,  my dress was ruined. And eva provided me with some clothes from the club. 

           She looked me up and down in a scrutinizing manner.

Noralei: You are not  telling me the whole truth. 

           Fuck, does it appear on my face when I lie? How does everyone know when I am lying? Damn, these mafia brains. 

Noralei: But I will let it slide. You go take a bath and meet me afterwards in the backyard. 

            I quickly went inside the bathroom. Thank god, she didn't question me more. I filled the bath with water and put some bath bombs inside. I got rid of the clothes and went inside the tub. And let the water soothe my body. The water helped me relax and soothed my sore muscles. 

            After bathing,  I out on some makeup and changed into a blue romper dress. I put my hair in a ponytail. 

            I got out and went to the backyard. There granny was standing along with uncle Elijah. He gave me a warm smile when he saw me come in. 

Nora: Good morning, uncle.

Elijah: Good morning dear. 

Noralei: So princess, I wanted to speak to you about something important. 

Nora: Okay. What is it granny?

            She signalled something to uncle elijah and he handed over some files to her. Wait, where did that file come from? 

Noralei: Here. 

            She handed over the files to me and I opened amd read them. What!!! 

Nora: I cannot accept this. 

Elijah: It belongs to you, dear. 

Noralei: And its your legacy. 

            In the paper, it was written that the Russian mafia is under my control. That now I was the Godmother ( lady mafia boss) of the russian mafia. And all the properties and wealth connected to it was now mine. 

Nora: Wait, but I thought that the Russian mafia no longer exists. 

Noralei: It does exist. In the absence of any leader, the mafia was lead by the capo bastone means Elijah. And a mafia without a leader is almost non existent. Elijah handled the legal and illegal business on the low radar. But with you being the next in line, you become the boss. 

Nora: But what if you never knew about my existence? 

Elijah: Then after my death, the mafia would have disorientated. 

Nora: So uncle, why can't you only rule the mafia. 

Elijah: Because I am not related to you by blood. The underground has many rules. And all I could ever be was the underboss.  

Noralei: And an underboss does not have many powers. 

Nora: But the underground won't accept me just like they didn't accept Alexandra de sante. 

Elijah: The world has modernised and people have become more open minded. And all that matters is for the Russians to accept you and they don't care about your marital status. 

Noralei: We don't want to force you into this mafia life. You can do anything you want. You could claim the rights with your husbands or you could give up the rights and the mafia disorients for once and for all. It's all up to you.

Nora: Okay, I understand the situation. But I have to talk to ny husbands before making a decision. 

Elijah: We have taken care of that. They said whatever you decide they will support you. Daniel even said that he would rule for you. 

Noralei: Alas! Every king's place is beside her queen. 

            This is all too much. As if me being a mafia princess wasn't enough. Them ruling the kingdom was fine by me. But, how can a naive girl like me hold the fate of whole russia. Am I capable of all this? Do I deserve to be a queen? 

Noralei: Princess, I know what you are thinking? Are you capable and do you deserve this? Believe me its in your blood to rule. And if you make a mistake, we are here to help you. 

Elijah: Niko would have wanted for you to rule. 

           Dad would have wanted me to own my legacy. To carry on the family business and name. 

Nora: I have made my decision. 

           Noralei and elijah took a deep breath for what they were gonna hear next. 

Nora: I accept. I take on my family legacy and vow to do good in their name. I take an oath that I will never hurt an innocent in the name of mafia. Avoid hurting women or children. Follow the rules made by the underground. I am now the russian mafia queen. 

           Elijah goes down on his knees and bows his head and noralei bows down her head. 

Elijah: Moya koreleva(My queen). моя жизнь теперь принадлежит тебе.  все, что я делаю сейчас, будет в вашу пользу.  Я клянусь поставить твою жизнь выше моей. (My life now belongs to you. All I do now will be in your favour. I vow to put your life before mine). 

            I was confused as to what uncle Elijah was saying. I didn't understand why he would say his life is now mine. 

Noralei: Elijah being the pod bossom( under boss) meaning the right hand man has to always protect the king and queen with his life. Whatever you say is like a law for him. We are law breakers however we also have some rules. 

Nora: Ohh, uncle elijah you don't have to do that. Your life and mine hold the same meaning.  

Elijah: It's my duty, princess. And however you are niko's daughter, meaning I am your godfather. So, I would always put your life about mine because you are a daughter to me. And one more thing,  now the whole mafia is your family.
