Mafia Lord's Librarian: A Satire of Love at First Sight

Keira Hawkins thought that the new library patron, Nate, was disgusted by the birthmark decorating her face. But then, he asked to go on a date with her during their next meeting. The innocence of love at the first sight turned dangerously annoying when Nate refused to leave her side. Thankfully, with a mean slap to the face, done rightly in public by her mighty right hand, had rendered Nate to cease his nonsensical doings. And yet... One unsuspecting morning, she woke up on the most comfortable bed, in an unfamiliar room, cradled in the arms of a gorgeous man she crowned as the most annoying patron of the week. "You're the one who came to me," whispered Nathaniel Wolfe – the mafia lord who reigns over the east side of the country. It wouldn't be easy to shake him off. Moreover when she found a locked door in the library basement - the entrance to where some lost treasures were hidden in the maze, or so Nate said. Intrigued, Keira joined Nate on his quest to find the lost treasures before another mafia family find it first.

Like A Dog

Casey Neumann might be a good poker game master – though he couldn't spot that Keira was counting cards – and a decent presidential candidate. Again, she wasn't sure about that part, but he was a well-mannered gentleman.

But currently, he was nothing more than an old man who smiled awkwardly at the direct, sharp stare of one Rick Leinster.

Nate's father.

"Do you think I need your help?" Rick had asked him that.

Neumann fumbled with his words, starting to get nervous.

For a man who asked to be introduced to Nate's father, he was extremely timid in front of the man. Such a waste. Even so, she wouldn't fault him, as it might be a normal reaction if faced with the most influential, wealthy person in the entire state.

"Ah, that's not what I meant, Mr. Leinster. Perhaps I could use a better word."

Rick didn't respond right away. He scrutinized the wanna-be president with keen eyes. "Why don't you take a seat?"
