The Mafia And The Princess Of Wands

The Pearls

Max POV

I couldn't move, my whole body hurt like it was pierced through my skin and bones. Breath tight. I felt a terrible cold, I wanted someone to give me a blanket but to just open my mouth I couldn't.

My gaze was shaded, I only saw a girl crying for me. Who her? Why is she crying?

I slowly closed my heavy eyes. I feel so sleepy.

Not long after I fell asleep, I felt a tremendous warmth, all my pain disappeared, and my breathing returned to normal. Am I dead? There can't be a heaven for me, can there?

I woke up and blinked my eyes slowly. I let myself hear a crying voice.

"Hiks..hiks.."

"Max don't die. Why the hell from the past until now you are not smart? What are you stopping bullets for? Max's! Get up and live Max!"

That's the sound of crying I hear. Now my slashed heart hears her cry. I opened my eyes again and tried to look towards the source of the sound. I fumbled around me, and I found a round object.

I raised my hand, but it felt heavy to move.

I went back to the source of the voice and I saw the girl I've been looking for, "Pearl girl..." I reached her face with my hand. I'm trying so hard I can raise this fucking hand.

The girl sat down and seemed to not believe her vision, "Max! You up! You're alive! Max, oh Max. You're so stupid anyway? Or were you born stupid? Could have hit the bullet. But thank goodness you didn't die Max!" Numbly noise.

With all my might I sat down, the girl helped me to lean on. I don't know what's going on but blood is everywhere. Who killed who is this?

"Are you okay, Max?" Ask the Pearl Girl.

I tried to straighten my body and look at her face clearly.

"I'm fine. But what the hell is going on here? And why are you here?" I asked him. Then I looked around me, and,

"Why are there so many pearls? Is that yours?" I asked again.

The girl had not yet answered Eleanor in a hurry, "Max! Ka.. have you realized? Ambulance just came." Said panicked.

Just as I was Eleanor looked around and realized the presence of the girl and the pearls around us.

With a violent face, Eleanor pointed to the pearl girl, "She! He cried and his tears turned into pearls! He must be a mermaid!" Shouted Eleanor hysterically.

"You're crazy Eleanor. I don't know what's going on here but I think it's going to shock you enough." Sahutku.

Eleanor shook her head, her wild gaze constantly pointing towards the pearl girl, "I'm not crazy Max! Indeed the tears of the woman can turn into pearls!" The drill.

I shook my head, "There are no mermaids here or anywhere else Eleanor." I try to be patient.

Eleanor then rushed away and in an instant came back with a large bucket full of water in both hands, "I'll prove that the woman is a mermaid." Said.

I stopped him, but..

Byurs!

My clothes were all wet and some water hit the pearl girl.

Eleanor looked at the two legs of the girl, "We'll see if her legs will turn into fish tails!" Eleanor grinned.

I think Eleanor was watching too many obscure soap operas and a lot of commercials, I shook my head but on the other hand I was wondering if this pearl really came from the girl's tears.

I looked at the girl with curiosity but the girl remained relaxed and looked at us intently.

Five minutes of no change until almost ten minutes nothing changed from the girl.

"Eleanor's enough!" I said, "look, she's not a mermaid!" I'm a fool to believe such an absurd thing.

"Luca, get him into the isolation room in the corner!" My orders are to Luca, one of my men.

The girl rebelled so sweetly, "Let go of me! Max, let me go!" The drill.

I raised my left hand to stop, "I still want to talk to you longer. You're the one who fed yourself to the tiger enclosure so enjoy." Whisper me to the girl.

The girl looked at me sharply and did not stop calling my name and asked to be let go.

After the furor, I heard a man calling a familiar-sounding name in my ear.

"Lea! Leah! Release Lea! I know he's here. Leah!"

I walked forward to see who was making a fuss ahead.

"Open the door!" My orders to the doorman.

"Good sir." Answer them and with lightning the door is opened. I saw an old man coming towards me and then he bowed his body in front of me.

"I'm sorry for my stupidity, sir, but I want Lea released. He's not guilty. He just stood up for me, sir." Said the man.

"What's your name?" I asked him.

"Tom, my name is Tom." The old man was respectful.

"Who were you calling?" I asked him again.

"Lea, sir. Lea was my employee at an ice cream shop nearby." The answer.

"Why is Leah here?" Ask again.

The old man named Tom recounted why the pearl girl had arrived at my house.

"But sir, he's just defending me." The old man still insisted on asking me to free Lea.

"Go or you can choose your punishment, get shot on the spot or I'll chop off your head? Vote for! I'll give you ten seconds to think." Threatened him.

"Ten,"

"Nine,"

"Eight,"

"Seven,"

"alright. I'm leaving!" The old man said in the end.

After the old man left I went back inside to see Lea. But how surprised I was because Nelson had found the girl first. Nelson held the girl's hands up with his own.

"Nelson! What are you doing here?" I snapped at him while releasing Nelson's grip on both hands of the pearl girl.

"I? Playing with your new toy." Nelson answered with a big smile.

"Nobody can resist my charm, but your little girl is not interested in you. She said, I'm not interested in you, go! Ahahaha! He's ruling me out, Max." Said Nelson mimicking the voice of the pearl girl.

"Go! Go!" I shook my hand to get Nelson out of there.

Nelson chuckled, "Because you're the first to find it I'll let you try it first don't forget to leave it for me, hehehe." Said.

After Nelson left I talked to the girl, "So, who are you?" My toot.

But the girl didn't answer me, "Are you still having nightmares at night? Do you often wake up in the middle of the night? How are you?" Ask the girl.

I smiled, "Your name is L? That name is no stranger to me. Have we met before? Or have we ever been close enough?" I asked him and again Leah did not answer me.

"Are you forgetting that easily? Dig your memory further and you will find me. Or do I still have a place in your memory?" Ask Lea again.

I nodded, this girl is so cute. Unlike Eleanor who always follows where I go. I admire him.

Before long, Nelson and Eleanor entered our room.

With the spirit of Eleanor slapped Lea's cheek,

Plaque!

"Cry the crybaby!" He said, then as soon as Eleanor was about to slap him again, I held Eleanor's hand quickly.

"What the fuck are you Eleanor?" I asked in annoyance to him.

"I wanted to make her cry so Nelson wouldn't accuse me of being a liar.

I looked at Nelson! This crazy idea must have come from Nelson.

Nelson shrugged his shoulders, "I was just wondering if he could pull out a pearl." Said greedy.

"Let me Eleanor." Nelson said again.

I held him down, "Nelson, he can't pull out a pearl!!" Tukasku.

"We'll see. Tie him!" His orders and Nelson's men moved to tie Lea's hands and feet.

"Nelson, let him go! Don't be crazy, Nelson!" I kept preventing Nelson from going crazy, but Nelson's strength was holding me back.

Bugh!

"Ughh! Uhuk! Uhuk!" A raw bogem from Nelson landed on my cheek.

Bugh!

Nelson hit me back. I stood up and replied to her crushing blow, "Do you want a jerk?!" My solute.

Bugh!

Nelson staggered. With great difficulty he stood up and walked towards Leah,

Crews!

Nelson tore Lea's shirt from top to bottom. Lea shouted hysterically.

I ran up to Lea and covered her body with the suit I was wearing. And then I threw my fist back at Nelson.

Bugh!

"Stop Nelson!" Tukasku.

Pleteks

Pleteks

Pleteks

And like magic, the pearl grains just fell down. Nelson and I looked at Lea at the same time. Sure enough Lea's tears turned into pearls.

Nelson picked up the pearl and looked at Lea with a hungry look.
