Stalked by the mafia boss novel Chapter 6

The hours Daniella had to wait were the most tiring and elongated hours she had had to wait in her life.

She sat in the waiting room as she was tired of pacing around, her head bent over and shoulders slumped, tears streaming down her cheeks.

She was sober now, the shock of the incidence had gotten rid of the liquor.

She couldn't stop crying, thoughts of any possible terrible outcome of the situation ran through her mind.

What if she dies?

She raised her head and wiped her tears, chiding herself for being a cry baby, she going to live, she assured herself.

"Daniella." She glanced towards the direction of the voice and saw her mother approaching. She threw herself into the woman's arms and started sobbing all over again.

"Mom." She sniffed, "I am so scared."

"It's okay baby." She consoled her rubbing her palms over her back, "it's okay."

Immediately Daniella set eyes on the police officer, she had sudden distaste for him.He was a big man, annoyingly big, he sniffed too often as if he had a running nose and she wondered if his pot belly wasn't too heavy for him to carry. She thought he looked like those police officers who only sat behind a desk all day stuffing doughnuts in their mouths and downing excessive coffee.

The police officer sniffed again and coughed this time."Do you know if she made friends with any shifty people or made some enemies?" He asked Daniella rubbing a finger underneath his nose for the umpteenth time, that action was beginning to piss her off.

"No, she didn't, Korina isn't that kind of person." He nodded and jotted down a few words on his note pad.

"So if she didn't, maybe she got shot by mistake or it's a stray bullet." He looked up and continuously tapped his pen on his chin as if in deep thought.

"Well, it's your job to find out!" She said almost raising her voice, get out of here already.

"Okay, don't worry we would get to the bottom of this, I would be taking my leave now, take care."He adjusted his belted pants and gave her fatherly pat.

What the heck? she rolled her eyes and turned to leave, Good grief.

" uhmm...one more thing."Daniella heard the police officer say and whipped around, "yes?"

"The woman at the counter talking to the nurse over there." He said pointing towards the direction, "You said she's your mother, how?you are whi..."

"I am adopted." She replied cutting him off, he only nodded and turned to leave.

"He was so annoying." Daniella told her mother after feeding her details of what happened at the club and with the policeman, "He even asked how come you were my mother, like how's that any of his concern?"

"He's just doing his job dear, never mind him, we have korina to worry about."

"I do hope she's okay."

"She will be." Daniella's mum said reaching out and holding her hand giving it light strokes as she offered silent prayers in her mind.

Korina was awake the next evening, she opened her eyes to see she was on a hospital bed with a drip connected to her hand.
