Losing Innocence -- Chapter 5

Pairing: Mob!Tom x Reader

Summary: It was astounding how much you didn't know about your best friend, and how much her past could affect your future.

Warning: Language

A/N: oh my god, Idk why this chapter was so hard for me to write, but I had to rewrite it like five times. So I'm sorry for the wait. I'm also sorry if this chapter is a bit confusing.

-------

Tom took a sip of his drink, feeling the whiskey burn down his throat. It was late, 12pm to be exact, and Tom was stressed. So, he did the only thing he usually did when he was stressed.

He went to one of the many strip clubs he owned, drank, and picked up some willing stripper for the night.

Tom placed the glass down with a loud clunk as he continued to watch the strippers dance.

Harrison, who sat across from Tom, cleared his throat, catching his attention. "I know this is how you usually handle these kind of situations, but don't you think you should be focusing on finding Belle's father right now?"

"What do you think I've been doing all day, mate?" He scoffed. "I swear I'm losing my mind over this. I just needed a break."

Harrison rolled his eyes, "Fine. What did you find out then?" He asked taking a sip from his own drink.

"That William Taylor's been busy." Harrison raised and eyebrow, waiting for Tom to continue. "His numbers have tripled in the last five years and he's making more money than he ever has."

"Why haven't we heard about this. A mob like Taylor's gaining all this power doesn't seem like something we'd miss."

"Yeah, I was confused about that too, so I read into the files a bit more. Found out all they did was clean up their act." Tom said clearly frustrated.

"Really? They've always been sloppy though."

"I know, but they've gotten better at covering their traces and getting rid of anyone that stood in their way." Tom said as a certain blonde caught his eye in the dim lights of the club.

Haz sighed. "Well that's fuckin' great. What're you gonna do with Belle now?" He asked the question he had been wondering about all day.

"I'm gonna kill William Taylor and Belle can do whatever the fuck she wants to after." Tom said looking back at Harrison.

Harrison scoffed, "Kill him? That could take months- years even. Especially now that we have no way of tracing them."

"I'll figure something out." Tom muttered. "It'll be hard though. We don't know where they are but now that Belle is gone they sure as hell can figure out where she is."

"Well, that's bloody fantastic. But why kill him, you could just set Belle up in another city."

"And you saw how great that turned out." He said sarcastically. "Killing him will be the easiest way. Alex Jacobs is dead, he basically ran the mob more than Taylor does. So by killing Taylor the entire mob will fall apart and Belle can live the normal life she's always wanted."

"I suppose that makes sense. His men aren't very smart. With Jacobs already dead and when we kill Taylor the rest of his men will probably find themselves in jail within 24 hours." Harrison said while Tom finished his drink.

The young blonde woman that worked in the club approached their table. "Can I get you another drink, Mr.Holland?" She said, smiling flirtily at him.

Tom smirked, "Yes, thank you darling."

The woman giggled at the nickname, taking his glass and leaving the table.

Harrison rolled his eyes as Tom's eyes trailed after her. "Y'know it wouldn't be a bad idea if you finally decided to settle down."

Tom snapped his attention back to his friend. "I don't need to settle down."

Haz scoffed, "What? Are you just going to continue sleeping with strippers the rest of your life? You're 26 Tom, plus maybe if you found someone you wouldn't be so bitter."

Tom narrowed his eyes at Harrison. "I don't need to find anyone, and I'm not bitter."

"Oh please. Ever since your family-"

"I dare you to finish that fucking sentence." Tom spit out venomously.

Harrison cleared his throat, "Fine... Then what about Belle?"

"What about her?"

"You seem to care a lot about her and she's a nice girl."

"Belle is nothing more than a friend that I owe. Now drop the subject." He said sternly.

Harrison sighed, taking a sip from his glass. "Alright, I'll drop it... How's her friend , (Y/N), I think?"

"Quiet. Thankfully she hasn't left her room all day and I've been having the maids check on her. She isn't eating though."

The waitress had come back with Tom's drink. Another flirty smile on her pink lips. "There you go Mr. Holland." She said placing the drink in front of him. "Anything else I can do for you?"

Tom smirked again, "Maybe there is. What time does your shift end, darling?"

The blonde woman's cheeks lit up, "It ends at one. Would you like to escort me out?"

"Yes I would, sweetheart."

The woman giggled again. "Alright, I'll see you then." The woman walked away.

Tom turned his attention back to Harrison again. Haz shook his head at Tom before returning to the conversation, "If the girl isn't eating, it could become a problem in the future."

Tom took a drink of whiskey, "Whatever, It's her fucking funeral."

Haz furrowed his eyebrows, "You really couldn't care less if she dropped dead."

"Honestly, I couldn't. She's a liability... plus she cries too much."

Harrison scoffed, "Of course she's crying. She's a normal girl, I think she should be allowed to be upset."

"And that's my point. She's a normal girl, so she doesn't know how this business works and that could get us killed if she somehow finds a way to contact anyone outside of the mansion."

"You know showing a little hospitality never hurt, maybe she'll calm down and you won't have to worry about her screwing us over. Plus if Belle likes her, I'm sure you could learn to get along with her."

Tom raised the glass to his lips again, "It's not my job to learn to get along with people." He took a sip, "If I don't like someone I have them killed."

Harrison rolled his eyes, "Whatever, I'm getting out if here. I figure you're gonna wait up for that girl."

"Yeah, you can leave, see if you can find any more of Taylor's contacts.'

Harrison nodded before leaving Tom by himself.

It was a bad habit, coming to a strip club almost every night to get shitfaced and get laid. He knew that. Harrison knew that. Hell, even his men knew that. But the momentary relief he got from his job made it feel worth it.

He hated his job but he'd never leave. No, at this point it was apart of him. He killed, he tortured, he threatened lives all for money, and there was no way out now. He was a criminal.

Your words the previous night struck a cord within him. You had called them all criminals. Tom knew it was true but when you're in this business others don't go around calling themselves criminals.

He was a monster and any relief he could get, he would take.

So now as the clock struck 1, he stood up out of his seat to find the blonde he didn't even know the name of, so he could keep forgetting.

Spotting the blonde, he walked up behind her and spoke in her ear, "Hello, love."

The woman turned around, smiling seductively, and leaned into him "Hello, I just finished up, ready to go?"

"Of course, darling."

The car ride back to his mansion was filled with heavy breaths and soft moans. The driver all to familiar with this scene was thankful that there was a privacy barrier separating him from the sinful things his boss did in the back.

Making it back to the mansion, Tom stumbled in tipsy, with the blonde woman kissing his neck. The front door slammed shut and he locked it.

Tom's eyes closed for a second, until the woman stopped. He opened his eyes to see her looking down a hallway.

"Is someone else here?" She asked.

He looked down the same hallway, seeing a light coming from... his office. There were light shuffling sounds putting Tom on edge. His hand instantly went to his gun

"Darling, go upstairs, turn left, my bedroom is at the last one at the end of the hallway."

The blonde nodded before going upstairs.

Tom pulled his gun out and quietly walked down the hallway. Many things were running through his head, if it was Taylor's men he'd be utterly screwed. Tom cocked the gun approaching the large mahogany doors.

He pushed the door open and raised his gun.
