Becoming A Mafia Boss

BOOK ONE: Chapter One

New York City, United States

Westlife Street 4:PM

Benson Woods, a young man in his late twenties felt dazed and iterant with his immediate acts.

He panted rushing up and down in his apartment not sure of what to do next.

His girlfriend, Rosemary Bernard had just fainted in their apartment and he wasn't sure why which made him bewildered.

"Rosemary! Rosemary!" He shouted her name scared at the fact that it could be critical with the way she had fainted.

He knew that Rosemary hit her head on the ground and he knew that it could have been more brutal.

He knew that if not for the rug that was laid on the floor of their sitting room, it would have been a fatal fall that would have coated her her life.

"Oh my goodness!" Benson fluttered his eye lashes in a state of despair and devastation.

At this point, he knew that there was only one single drastic option left out to do.

He knew that the nearest hospital was a little bit far from home.

He also knew that before he would have gotten there, the situation would have escalated.

Benson laid near her cogitating about what happened. He remembered how pale she looked when she had returned.

He despised the fact that he wasn't able to suspect that something was wrong.

"You are going to be okay, I promise," He said as he carried her in his arms and rushed outside of his apartment.

He was lucky to find a cab easily when he got out to the main road of Westlife street.

"Great View hospital," Benson said briskly, explaining exactly where he needed to go.

"The fee is Four dollars," The driver weighed him in contempt. "Alright," Benson agreed, as he placed Rosemary inside the passenger seat.

Benson himself, sat in the second driver's seat as he looked back at Rosemary who was still unconscious.

The cab finally arrived at Great View hospital and he rushed outside and opened the door to get Rosemary.

He saw that other patients were being attended to until a short nurse came towards him.

"What happened?" The nurse inquired leading a group of men that carried a stretcher.

"I don't know, she just fainted, despite the fact unexpectedly," Benson followed briskly as the men took her away.

The stretcher was driven inside the ward and the nurse was trying to calm Benson down.

"The doctor is going to attend to her, just be patient," The nurse said.

"Alright," Benson said after he had tried to follow Rosemary inside but couldn't...

Doctor Richard Shaw, the head doctor of Great View hospital was ready to attend to Rosemary in her ward.

He and other doctors under him had been attending to patients all day. The doctors had to divide their roles.

"So what happened to her?" Richard inquired from the same nurse that helped to bring Rosemary into the hospital.

"Her boyfriend claimed that she gained unexpectedly and he wishes to know why this was so," The nurse explained.

"Okay then," Richard examined Rosemary holding her hands and saw how pale her skin looked.

He finally discovered that she was bleeding at the back of her hands. "Hmm this is strange," he said.

Richard sighed as he got all his instruments to start the test in Rosemary...

Benson was still pacing around concerned about Rosemary when Richard walked up to him.

"Doctor, how is she?" Benson inquired curiously.

"She is finally conscious, but am so sorry to break the news that she has haemophilia," Richard said.

Richard was stunned, he knew it was a rare disease and knew it would be costly to initiate treatment.

"So how much is the fee?" Benson became more iterant with his desperate acts.

"It's a total sum of one million dollars," The doctor said facing Benson who was stunned...

When Benson went to see Rosemary in her ward, she wept bitterly blaming him.

"It was all your fault," Rosemary scowled at Benson when he entered the ward. "How dear?" Benson couldn't fathom the allegations that were being laid on him by Rosemary.

"You don't have the money for it does you? How would I be treated now?" Rosemary blurted out.

"Don't worry dear, let's be optimistic about this and hope for the better," Benson said as he exited the ward...

Benson sat in his sitting room and thought about what to do then finally decided to borrow a loan.

He knew that he needed to borrow a loan from two places and then headed for the bank nearby.

Has he entered Fastlane bank, he was told by the accountant that he needed to mortgage one of his properties.

"Am so sorry but that's the only way we can agree to give you the loan of the sum of four hundred dollars," He said.

"Alright then, I will be mortgaging my house," Benson said.

He knew that was the only property he had from his parents.

"Alright done," The accountant said and he had to sign some documents before he received the alert.

It was the remaining six hundred dollars and he knew about a popular mafia that was popular.

"I am looking for Mr Black," Benson said when he finally got to where he could reach the mafia gang.

Benson was halted by men in black suits and he knew immediately that he was dealing with a dangerous gang.

"What is the reason for seeing him?" A man in a black suit said smiling showing his teeth stained with tobacco.

"I need money for surgery, my girlfriend is dying and she needs the amount of six hundred dollars," Benson said.

"Hmm, no problem with that, Mr Black is very generous as long as you mortgage a property," The man said.

"Alright then, I will be mortgaging my house," Benson scowled in displeasure. "Hope you are with the documents?" The man inquired.

"Sure," Benson's said handing over the documents he had to sign.

"Done, send your digits," The man said. "Alright," Benson said as he received the alert when he sent his account number...

"Here, that's the sum," Benson said facing Richard after he had sent the total of one million dollars to the hospital.

"Alright then, we will start the treatment using desmopressin," Richard said.

Benson wasn't sure if he had heard of that but he just agreed. "Alright," Richard said as he exited the hospital...

Has he entered Complete Success Textile Company he knew he had to resign from his place of work?

"I am sorry about the circumstances," his boss Mr Simon Hargreaves said in his office.

Bernard had already submitted his resignation letter and was waiting to get approval.

"So, you are released," Simon said. "Thank you so much," Benson said as he head out to return to the hospital...

Two Months Later

Benson entered the Ward and was happy to see that Rosemary was ready to go home.

"Dear, you haven't told me how you got the money," Rosemary said.

"Ooh yes, it's my rich cousin, Jake," Benson lied.

"Ooh that's so good," Rosemary said as she followed him and they bother cited the hospital.

He was driven in the taxi cab with Rosemary by his side in the passenger seat he thought about everything.

He remembered the amount he had to spend and he thought of how he was going to pay it back.

"It feels so good to be back home," Rosemary said as she alighted the car when we got to the house.

"Yes," Benson said as he paid the driver and the taxi driver drive off.

"Oh, my," Rosemary said terrified when she saw the dangerously looking man standing at the entrance of the house.
