Even after six months, business for Mateo was going slow. After Aldo’s downfall, there was hurdle after hurdle for him. After the Xon club was rumored to be a front for criminal proceedings, fewer and fewer people showed up. Many of the big names canceled their membership. There were thousands of conspiracy theories going on about him and his club on the internet, which he doesn’t care about because the basis of all those theories is true. Mateo didn’t mind, but the fact that he was now looked at differently was bothersome. In the Mafia world, he was looked at as a traitor – which he was, and in the outer world, everyone saw him as a criminal, which he also is. A lot of news that has been circulating about him is true, but he can’t afford to have it out. Is he being investigated? He was, but the system is broken because a lot of people like him are a part of the system that is supposed to clean the society of people like Mateo. It was easy for him to rig the investigation and he did
Mateo was sitting comfortably on the couch. His arms were stretched over the couch while his one ankle was resting on his other knee. Instead of wearing his typical button-up shirt and pants, he was wearing a white sweater and beige pants. Instead of wearing his typical oxford shoes, he wore slippers. Instead of holding a gun or a knife, he was holding a bowl of popcorn that Faith made him hold. He didn’t bother to neatly style his hair, instead, his natural curls bounced over his head even on the slightest movement.“Do you really have to do this?” Mateo sighed as he watched Faith select a movie she wanted him to see.Faith frowned and looked at him. She was sitting beside him with her legs crossed under her. She was wearing one of Mateo’s hoodies because she didn’t feel comfortable in her own clothes, which Mateo didn’t understand, and he asked her about it, and she answered. “You will not understand it. It is a girl’s thing.” Mateo didn’t even ask her what she meant. He just nodded
“Mateo, I am tired.” Faith moaned as Mateo thrust into her one last time. He groaned and let go of himself before he pulled out of her. Faith was out of breath as she watched him panting. He pulled the condom off, tied a knot over the top of it, and threw it into the waste bin. Faith wiped the sweat from her chest and saw Mateo lying beside her. She smiled at him and put her head over his sweaty chest as he rubbed her bare back, “You should go take a shower.” She said to him before she closed her eyes. She was extremely tired – she didn’t think she could move. Mateo looked down at her and smiled. He kissed her damp hair, “Do you want me to give you a bath?” He asked. Faith sleepily chuckled. She didn’t open her eyes – she couldn’t. She didn’t have the energy to do so. “Do you even know how to draw a bath?” She lazily asked. Mateo chuckled and shrugged, “How hard could it be? It is just filling the tub with warm water, and adding some soap to it, right?” He replied. Faith slowly op
It is not like Piper couldn’t move. Kai wasn’t restricting her. He wasn’t pinning her against the wall. If she wanted, she couldn’t have pushed me away and just left, but there was something about what he said that made her freeze in that position. She slowly blinked as she looked into his eyes. She slowly gulped. Her cheeks warmed up because what he just said about her was true. She never gives in to anyone. Giving in embarrasses her, but it doesn’t feel the same with Kai. She is fine giving in to him, and if that can be identified as submissive, then yes. She is submissive to him. But there is another part of this reality. Just because she will eventually submit in the end, that doesn’t mean she doesn’t like to fight before. When it comes to giving in, Piper solely means sexually. She was still a fighter for every other reason – even to Kai. “You are right,” she whispered. She saw a hint of a smile on his face, “But…” She paused and watched him squint his eyes. She held his wrist
Faith looked at Ethan. His clothes were covered in blood, but it wasn’t his blood. It wasn’t Levi’s blood either. It was the blood of the shooter that came to kill Levi. Levi was shot, but the bullet pierced through his shoulder. His injury wasn’t fatal. He was in fact completely fine. Yes, he did lose blood and yes, he is in pain – but he will be okay. Mateo was in the room with Levi while Faith, Piper, and Ethan waited outside.Ethan was completely silent. His eyes were fixed on the floor. His face hardened. Faith couldn’t tell if he was in shock, distressed, scared, or just worried. He is an incredibly complicated man. It can be very hard to read him. She shared a glance with Piper, who was looking at Ethan as well. Faith heaved a sigh and decided to break the silence, “Ethan, maybe you should go and change your clothes. You can come back later. We are all here with Levi till then,” She said, but Ethan didn’t react – he didn’t even look at her.Faith looked at Piper. Both of them h
Ethan timorously walked into Levi’s room. He could hear Mateo and Faith muttering to each other, but he didn’t pay attention to them and closed the door behind him. Levi was lying on the bed. He wasn’t wearing a shirt and had the jeans from earlier on. There was a bandage wrapped around his right shoulder and his arm was secured by an arm sling. He slowly opened his eyes when he heard Ethan walking in. He lazily blinked and watched Ethan pause in the middle of the room. Levi’s eyes fell on Ethan’s bloody clothes. He scrunched his nose, “Why didn’t you change your clothes yet?” He asked him sternly. Levi’s eyes were droopy and his voice was slightly slurry, but the gravity in his voice was the same as before. Ethan gulped and looked down at his shirt, “Uh, yeah. I should go and change.” He muttered under his breath while pulling the hem of his shirt. He could tell that Levi was on pain medication, and probably on some muscle relaxant. Levi never sits so slackly. He is always so atten
Kai was sitting in the car in the backseat. The car was parked at the end of a very busy street. There were different shops, eateries, and small marts on both sides of the streets. It was a commercial area, so the buildings on both sides of the streets had offices in them. Maybe some of them were residential. It was hard to tell. The area he was currently in was not very opulent. It was very ordinary. The city is full of such streets. The cars that were parked on both sides of the street were very customary, and among those cars were Kai’s black Mercedes. The driver sat in the front with Kai’s bodyguard in the passenger seat, and Kai sat alone in the back. He could see pedestrians staring at his car. He didn’t mind them – they couldn’t see him. The windows were up and tinted. Kai was wearing a black three-piece suit. He was wearing a navy blue tie, black Oxford shoes, and matching black fabric gloves on his head. His eyes were covered with black shades and his mouth was covered with
“I am starving!” Piper exclaimed as she opened the paper bag. She looked at Kai to see him looking back at her. He still had his mask and glasses on. Piper couldn't help but chuckle, “At least take them off, Kai. Why are you wearing sunglasses in the car? Your windows are tinted.” She pointed out while taking her burger and fries out of the bag. She placed the empty bag on the floor of the car. Kai watched her every move. He watched as she unwrapped her burger and took a bite of the greasy and messy burger. She let out a delighted moan. Kai gulped at the sound and cleared his throat before he looked away from her as she softly chewed. He sighed, “I have a headache.” He muttered. Piper frowned, “Oh,” She spoke with her mouth full. Kai looked at her disapprovingly. She realized what she had done. She covered her mouth with her hand and swallowed the morsel in her mouth. “Sorry,” She politely apologized. She forgot Kai doesn’t like that. She realized that it must be hard for him to tol
