CROWNED BY THE MAFIA Chapter 1

A person was sitting on a chair like a king in his office and his men were standing around a man who was bleeding while sitting on his knees on floor

The man's pleas fell on deaf ears. The person watched him impassively, his face carved from stone as the man blubbered and begged for mercy. The luxurious office, with its leather furnishings and dark wood panels, felt suddenly too small for the terror that filled it.

Arnav Singh Rathore (ML)

"Maine kaha tha na, Rajesh... mere saath dhokha mat karna." ***said in gentle and soft tone which made it more terrifying*** (I told you, Rajesh... don't betray me.)

"Sir, please... meri galti thi. Main dobara aisa nahi karunga." Rajesh's voice shook, sweat beading on his forehead despite the cool air conditioning. (Sir, please... it was my mistake. I won't do it again.)

Arnav Singh Rathore (ML)

didn't say anything but leaned on the chair without looking away from Rajesh and raised his hand slightly***

The bodyguard standing behind Rajesh understood immediately. A quick, clean movement, and it was over. Rajesh slumped forward, eyes wide with shock, a thin line of red appearing across his throat.

Arnav Singh Rathore (ML)

Take care of him ❄️❄️🥶

Suddenly his phone rang and he picked it up

Arnav Singh Rathore (ML)

Hello ❄️❄️🥶

Vikram Malhotra (ML's bff)

Kahan hai tu? Engagement party start ho gayi hai. Mere sabse important din pe late hoga kya? (Where are you? The engagement party has started. Will you be late on my most important day?)

Arnav Singh Rathore (ML)

I'm in a business meeting. I'll reach in fifteen minutes. ❄️❄️🥶

Vikram Malhotra (ML's bff)

Be quick *cuts the call*

After sometime

The hotel where Vikram's engagement ceremony was being held gleamed with lights and decorations. Security guards straightened up when they saw Arnav's vehicle approach, immediately recognizing the man everyone respected and feared.

"Welcome, sir," they murmured, opening doors and clearing paths.

Vikram spotted him immediately and bounded over, a wide smile on his face.

Vikram Malhotra (ML's bff)

Finally! Main toh soch raha tha ki tu aayega hi nahi. (Finally! I was thinking you wouldn't come at all.)

Arnav Singh Rathore (ML)

congrats *a bit soft*

Vikram Malhotra (ML's bff)

Just that? Not even a smile from your side? *** laughed***

Vikram Malhotra (ML's bff)

Used to his friend's reserved nature***

Arnav Singh Rathore (ML)

Where is your bride to be?

Vikram Malhotra (ML's bff)

she is there, with her friends ***Pointed toward a group of women in the corner***

Arnav Singh Rathore (ML)

was about to look there but suddenly the phone rang***

Arnav Singh Rathore (ML)

I need to take this ***steps away to find a quieter corner***

On the other side of the ballroom, Aanya Sharma was enjoying the lavish buffet, piling her plate with appetizers.

"Aanya khane ke alawa kuchh aur bhi dekh le" (Aanya, see something other than food too.) .

Aanya Sharma (FL)

Kyon? Shaadi mein khaane ke liye hi toh aate hain log 😁 (Why? People come to weddings only for the food.)
