Doted On By The Mafia Boss novel Chapter 45

Time flew past and the two weren't kids anymore, one was seventeen while the other was twelve already. Many things changed, the way they looked and the way they were addressed in society but what didn't change was the way they treated each other.

Six years later in the same school premises, a guy went crashing against the wall while his classmate stood dumbstruck, too afraid to do or say anything. The boy who was sent crashing went numb with pain as he shot a fearful glance at the one who did this to him... Ryan, in the school uniform but without his jacket stood there correcting a black band in his hands. Even though his face was calm and collected one could easily see the anger dancing on his face, he grabbed the latter's collar and pulled him up in the air. With his handsome face just a few inches away from his Ryan spoke out, "You must have some guts to flirt with the woman I love."

The students who were witnessing the fight heard what Ryan just said and started to chatter amongst themselves, the most popular opinion being that she was his bottom line and it has been challenged by this new transfer student, now nobody could save him.

Ryan fist his hands before throwing another punch at his face, he sat down on him and went on bashing him until...

"Ryan, this is your final- final warning! If you go around beating up people again I will have to take severe actions!" The principal said sternly looking at the two boys, while one had only dirtied his shirt the other had a wound on his forehead which was secured with bandages.

Ryan simply unheard the principal's warning and went on nodding before the head finally let him go. After the two students left there was a newly joined Asian teacher who walked in. He asked, "Sir, I have seen this fellow frequenting to your office for the bully and beating up kids. Why do you always let him go with a warning without taking any action?"

"Are you crazy?" The principal worked up before hushing him down, "You are new here, right, that's why you don't know. His father is a famous mob, they work as drug dealers and paid assassins. They are really dangerous people and the goon who just left the office is the future boss of that clan! IRS not healthy to offend them..."

After the two boys came out Ryan gave him a last warning, "There are many girls on the campus and I don't care who you fool around with but... She is mine and thus, stay away from her." The latter was too afraid to say something and ran away nodding; Ryan walked up to the end of the corridor and reached the stairs when he saw a familiar figure sitting there. His anger melted down and affection started to cloud his face, feeling a presence behind her Catherine slowly turned her head to meet her eyes with Ryan's.

"Ryan! You came back?" She stood up and dusted off her skirt smiling at him. She had grown up so much and looked no more like a five-year-old yet had Ryan still madly in love with her. He grunted before descending down the stairs and started walking away with her. She asked, "Did the principal say anything?"

"Nope! He just gave me a final warning."

"Hihi... The 37th final warning!" The girl giggled joyfully and seeing her smile the boy lost even his leftover wrath. No matter how terrible he was for the outer world he had a passionate and calm side too, sadly it was exclusive only for her.

The couple walked down the stairs, Catherine kept on stealing glances at him but didn't say a thing. Her minute actions failed to escape from his watchful faze as he said, "If you have anything you can say."

"No no! I don't have anything to say... I- I just... Why did you fight with him?" Catherine finally asked what was going on inside her. Ryan knew already it was what she wanted to ask, he replied casually, "He offended me so I had to show his place."

"Oh...." The girl slipped into her thoughts but was interrupted when Ryan asked back, "Why? You know him?" The girl nodded and replied, "Yes, Ryan. He was the only one who called me pretty and asked for a coffee date yesterday."

Ryan acted astonished as if he knew nothing about it, he commented, "Is that so? I didn't know..." After a pause, he asked again, "What did you answer him?"

The girl smiled proudly, "Obviously I turned him down, I don't like him." She added casually, "What a coincidence, right, Ryan. He ended up having a history with both of us!"

"What do you mean?" Ryan stopped in his tracks and tilted his head towards her. The girl, who only reached up to his waist commented, "He asked me out yesterday and ended up getting trashed by you today. This is so hilarious!" Ryan agreed to it as if he knew nothing about what she was saying before the two went away to their separate classes.

Back at the villa when Ryan finally came back home the first person to come meet him was Jack who wasn't attending classes because of the bad cold which had hit him. He was already informed about the scene Ryan caused at school and had come to discuss the same. When he interrogated that why he picked up a fight with him Ryan casually said that he offended him by flirting with his woman and asking her out.

"Your woman?" Jack raised an eyebrow before sitting down next to him, "When did she become your woman?" Ryan changed his clothes and asked, "Did you have a memory loss? I am in love with her since she was five, it's been eight years already."

"So, will that make her yours?" Jack questioned seriously. Ryan sat down on the bed and asked calmly, "What are you saying?"
