The gambling man : Exo mafia fanfiction

Chapter 1 : The man from no where.

"Your father's business, his skills, his reputation, they dragged you into this ". A voice called out through the darkness, an unknown hand itching forward, stroking her cheek briefly before shifting away suddenly. She found herself unable to move, her legs locked in place refusing to budge. Mia swallowed the forming lump in her barren throat.

"Who are you"? She asked bravely despite her trembling form, a chuckle erupted through the darkness. She glanced around rapidly, her heart pounding as she attempted to locate the deep voice that rumbled through the darkness. Suddenly a purple fluorescent light snapped on from above, basking the pure white room in a pale, violet hue. She blinked quickly, attempting to adjust her eyes to the dramatic change. Her eyes pulled forward, revealing the man who kept laughing at her. Taunting her.

His hair was black, messy in a way that looked intentional, pushed back to frame his face. His skin: seemingly glowing and smooth, with dark haunting eyes trained intently on her. He had strong set of high cheekbones and  full shaped lips. The man walked forward stopping in front of her, his tall form towering over her. He leaned down slightly, as if to intimidate her.

"I am your downfall."

The brunette jolted awake suddenly, the voice of the nameless man echoed through her ears like a mantra. Shakily Mia raised a hand to her forehead, wiping away the cold sweat that covered her brow. Slapping her hands down into her duvet with an exasperated sigh. Mia glanced to her right side eyeing the alarm clock that stood on top of her nightstand.

The digital green numbers glowed faintly, indicating that it was as 6:20am. It was earlier than she would typically wake up. But Mia knew she would have no comfort in resting after the dream that just played through her mind.

Throwing her suffocating blankets off her body the brunette stood up, and slowly began to get ready for her 8:00 am lecture.

The young girl tiredly trudged down the busy early morning sidewalk, following her typical route. Her steps were uneven, plagued by her own grogginess. Mia silently ate a granola bar attempting to gather some energy as she approached her best friend's house, quickly scarfing it down as she arrived at the front door.

Mia hopped up onto the porch and rang the doorbell accordingly, she waited a few short seconds for the door to open revealing her friend Seon. The tall and slender woman stood at about 5'7. Pale skin, straight eyebrows and dark ruby red lips. Mia smiled to her friend warmly, which was instantly returned by Seon as she closed the door behind her. Her beautiful friend, her longest friend too. Mia and her father moved around quite frequently, as a result none of her friendships seemed to last. Distance made communication nearly impossible, especially at a younger age. As everyone grew, they seemed to forget about the girl.

"Ready"? Mia asked earning a firm nod from Seon as the two silently walked down the concrete steps onto the empty sidewalk. Her friend began to fill the silence chatting about her morning, and how she switched from coffee to tea because she was attempting a caffeine cleanse. The brunette listened inattentively, her mind still lingering on the dream. His cold words echoed through her mind, and Mia kept pondering on the notion, how could one single man become her downfall?
