We moved backwards a bit and my back hit the inside of the pool's deck. I still had my arms around his neck as he grabbed both my thighs and raised them upwards and beside him to hug his waist. He supported me by holding me up with his hands under my ass. It was the first time I was holding him this way and it made me a little too excited. "Am I finally allowed to touch you?" I asked, opening my eyes to look into his. "Sweetheart, you're doing so already aren't you?" He asked back. I smiled at that and at the pet name he had called me. I couldn't lie I loved whenever he called me pet names, it made me feel like I meant something to him, even though I knew I probably did not but it still gave me a little sense of hope. "I can't fucking get enough of you." He moaned as he pulled me to himself and started planting kisses on my neck, chest and breast. "Me neither."I ran my hand through his hair gently as I found his mouth kissing him once more, feeling the soft texture of his hair.
Good morning sweetheart." I heard Saint whisper in my ear making me tussle and smile in my sleep. To my surprise, he hugged me from behind, and my back was pressed against his chest. He nuzzled up to me, pulling me in tightly and making me feel his third buddy pushing into my lower back once again. I opened my eyes and turned to look at him. "You're up before me today," I said. He wasn't angry as the last time and didn't look like he was in a hurry to leave either. It was my first time as well. Everything he was doing from the previous night was a first. He smiled at me. "I wanted to see how you look when you sleep." He replied as I looked away, smiling shyly in order to hide how red my face was about to get. "Bet I looked like a mess," I said, fixing my hair. He turned my face for me to look at him, then shook his head. "You looked cute, couldn't stop staring.""Oh please." I laughed turning away shyly again. Why was he doing this to me?My eyes lingered around his exposed tat
That voice. She sounded familiar. A bit too familiar. I looked over at Saint to see him clenching his jaw. "That bitch!" He spat out eyeing the hallway. "You know who they are?" Alessandro asked as he pointed his gun towards the hallway. Saint nodded. "It's one of the Fontanas." He replied. "Lauretta Fontana."Alessandro's eyes widened at that and he looked at me, then back at Saint. "Does she know about it?" He asked, nodding his head in my direction. "Where're you, my love?!!" I heard the woman whom Saint had just referred to as Lauretta say in a sing-song manner. But most importantly, what was it that I needed to know?I saw Saint shake his head slightly, "No she doesn't."I heard a gunshot making me jerk up in fright and immediately she appeared in front of us. "There you are!!" She exclaimed smiling wildly from ear to ear as she posed at a distance, balancing the gun she carried on her shoulder. Her clothes had a colourful bold print design, she wore a hat and a pair of
Saint's pov"Saint you're hurting my hand," Came Jade's voice as we waited in front of the bungalow we had arrived at. I looked down to see how tightly I was grasping her hand making me quickly release it. I saw her rub the area I had been previously holding and look away. Her fingers still trembled in as much as she tried to look calm and I could see her biting her lower lips tightly. I ran a hand across my face and took out a cigarette throwing it in my mouth and lighting it up immediately. How did we have a surprise attack? That was fucking messed up. I took out my phone to ring CJ immediately, walked off from where we stood and went towards the calm seashore which lay in front of us. The cool sea breeze crept into my shirt as I puffed out some smoke as if trying to exhale every anger I had inside of me as I waited for him to pick up. "What the fuck is going on CJ?" I asked him immediately he picked up the phone. There was a pause on his end before he spoke up, "We're stil
Jade's Pov. "You just have to trust me, Jade." Were Saint's last words as he cupped my face in his hands, peering into my eyes. I looked at Alessandro and the old man who were reloading guns and cleaning them one after the other at the dining table, and then back at Saint. They already came up with a plan and all I had to do was stay safe in one of the old man's friend's house while they killed off whoever was coming to attack that night. "Can't I help in any way?" I asked looking back at him. "No. You being safe is enough help." He replied. * *Saint's Pov. Now we waited for them to show up. The evening had come and I sat on a chair in the living room, the old man and Alessandro were each in their own hiding positions. Jade was in a safe place, at one of the old man's friend's house and I couldn't wait to end Greco and fly back home. Immediately, my phone rang and I took it out to see it was CJ calling. Throwing a cigarette into my mouth, I slid the green icon answering it.
Jade's povI shook in fright as his hands tightened around my neck while we walked down. I heard Saint call my name and looked up to see him walking towards Me, Alessandro following behind. The house where I stayed was supposed to have been safe. But the whole area had gotten raided and they hadn't stopped until they found me. I was even more surprised when I saw the crazy woman, Lauretta walk into the house and shoot the man who was keeping an eye on me. I wondered how she stood before me, alive and uninjured after Saint had shot at her and I'd seen her drop to the ground. The tears had streamed down as she instructed one of her guys to take me and I just wanted to die at that moment. How did my life go from being a regular bartender to finding myself in these situations? I heard Lauretta laugh in a low tone once she saw Saint. "Your little boyfriend is here." She teased. As Saint made to come towards me, a group of men suddenly appeared from all angles, all facing him and poi
We were inside the old man's house. The shooting had ended, Lauretta had driven off in her car after shooting Saint and her army of men were all dead. I had seen my uncle's lifeless body and not even an ounce of sadness had hit me. There weren't any mixed feelings like the first time I had thought he was dead and hated me or not, I was glad he was finally dead. I sat beside where Saint lay, still unconscious and watched as the old man dressed his wounds while I helped out in whatever way that I could. My eyes were sore from crying and my throat was already as dry as it could be. I felt extremely guilty for putting Saint in this position and hated that I had to see him this way. Alessandro's condition also was far worse than Saint's but the old man had said he was going to be fine as well. I could only take his word for it but I was thankful that he hadn't died. "You should get me some more water and a fresh towel." The old man said and I hurriedly stood up going to dispose of the
I tried so hard to hide the smile which crept up my lips after he had kissed my forehead. I followed him behind as we went to the living room and saw Alessandro already up as well. He was there with the old man and CJ. Alessandro smiled widely immediately after he saw us. "Gennaro! You didn't miss me a lot did you?!" He asked Saint, pulling out a lollipop from his mouth. CJ smacked his head from behind. "Stop acting like you're twelve man." He told him. Alessandro frowned at him rubbing the back of his head. "I just came back from the dead. You should be nicer.""Wish you remained there," Saint replied to him making him roll his eyes while the old man and I chuckled. I was glad as well to see him alive and his usual self. "You're up, Mr Guerra." The old man said as he walked to Saint, handing him a shirt to put on. "I appreciate you treating my wounds," Saint told him. The old man smiled. "Your missis did a lot more." He said passing the credit to me. "No... no, I didn't," I r
Jade's pov. "At this point, I could get a rash from you being all over me, yunno." I groaned and Saint nuzzled into me burying his face in my neck. We were naked under the sheets after we'd gone two rounds that late morning and it didn't look like he was letting me go any moment. I felt his smile beneath me and I couldn't help but smile along. He was a clingy man, surprisingly, something I hadn't noticed before and in as much as I complained, I loved it and wished he'd never stop. "All I'm saying is you going to Betty's house can wait a few days. I want you in my arms today." He mumbled like a child. "You said this last week. And the week before. Even yesterday.""One more day won't hurt, would it? Sweetheart?" He asked and then looked at me smiling. He had cut his hair a bit shorter than it used to be so he didn't go around with his man bun any longer because according to him, he had said he wanted to try new things just like I did and if possible, he would dye his hair also. Hi
Jade's pov. Marcel explained to Saint about what had happened and how he had to pretend to work with Matrix in order to kill him. He promised he had never given out any of his information and if at all anything, he had helped save me at the party through Suzy and had called me to warn me the night I thought Suzy died. He said he had come too late and since he was sure that he (Saint) was going to save me, he had saved Suzy. "And the business and route you thrashed?" Saint asked again. I saw he was really trying to understand him because of me and not finish him to the ground. Because the normal Saint would have made Marcel a goner long ago and skipped the whole conversation. I just stood watching the whole thing with my arms together while Saint's men cleared the bodies on the floor. Marcel shook his head. "That wasn't me. That was on Gab. I couldn't put him out to you because we used to be close before you killed him."Saint took a deep breath narrowing his eyes at him. "Gab was
Jade's pov "Starting with him," Matrix said pointing his gun at Marcel. "And later on, her. Why don't we finish what we started years ago huh?" He asked and smirked darkly. "Would it not be nice to die in the same place your family did? At least that's what I considered before coming here."This man was fucking crazy for bringing up Saint's family. I wanted to strangle him slowly. I hated him. "We?" Saint asked leaning forward, calmer than I expected. And from the time when he had acted this calmly after seeing Serena dead, I knew he was plotting something ruthless already. "You started this mess, Mariano. And I'm going to finish it for you. As for him-" He paused and I saw his eyes go to Marcel who stood beside me, watching also. "I wanted him dead already."I stiffened at his words as I saw him raise a gun to Marcel. Matrix smiled at the gesture and I became scared already. He was going to kill Marcel just as he had told CJ he would anytime he found him. He looked at me for a bri
Saint's pov. It was night already as we reached the Villa, I made sure each of my men was positioned in groups at each strategic area. We made sure to surround the house because there was no escaping for him today. No matter how many his men were, we were going to outnumber him. The fight was already looking over before it even started. This whole thing had started from his greed. He was younger than my father but older than me. The Guerra family was known to have the largest cartel in the whole of New York and my father had always done well maintaining it. Mariano's family came close to us but could never really measure, we were always better off, stronger, more power, more money and more connections. Head of the Mariano family used to be loyal to my father before he passed away and barely two years later, Matrix had become greedy for the power, plotted with the Fontana family and some others who were ready to be traitors and had started his little game of wiping off the whole Guer
Jade's povI lowered my head, pulling my knees to my chest and when the posture seemed painful and impossible because of the hurt, I decided to spread out my legs and lean against the wall. "You've been here since then?" I asked quietly watching her sit up as well. There was silence after my question. I saw her take a deep breath and nod. "Yes." She muttered. "After I texted you that I couldn't meet you, I got taken. You wouldn't know because you didn't bother to text or call me." She accused throwing her face away. I was too hurt and in a lot of pain to start getting angry and trying to pass my point across on why I didn't call her or what I was also going through with Saint. I could have also accused her of not checking up on me as well but I didn't want to, so I let it be. "When did Marcel get taken?" I asked her, switching the topic from being about her. She shook her head, "I can't say exactly. I just saw him randomly after I passed out once from Matrix punching the shit out
Jade's pov"You're lying!" I shouted at Matrix. "My mum isn't dead. She's in China right now. You're a fucking liar." The bitterness at the back of my throat increased and my stomach twisted badly making me want to throw up. He laughed. He fucking laughed at me. Then took a sip of his drink and crossed his legs." Is that what old man Greco told you?" He asked, his eyes filled with amusement. "She never made it to the airport, L'amante di Saint. Your mother died in her car. The only thing she succeeded in was keeping you two safe."He said it so casually that I hated him to the core. Here I was hating my mother for abandoning and running off all these years while my uncle abused me, not knowing she was trying to keep is safe and this demon sitting right in front of me ended up killing her after Dad. My eyes pricked with tears as I watched him, my heart beating against my chest like it would explode. In the past more than twelve hours, my heart had felt more pain than it had ever don
Jade's pov At this rate, I should seriously start getting awards for every time I get kidnapped, or become unconscious or land in the hands of some people - or the same people- that want me dead. My head hurt a lot as I blinked twice, not opening my eyes yet. I felt my wrists tied together and my legs too tied together at my ankle. I was glad at least they didn't blindfold me. I remembered seeing Lauretta on Saint's thigh and running out, then was grabbed by CJ and finally at the red traffic stop, a car had run into us. And I still didn't believe Marcel was dead. Just like that. I grunted, opening my eyes lightly and letting my vision adjust to the light and surrounding. When I finally adjusted, I sat up and a girl lying beside me and tied just the same way I was, caught my attention. She moved a little and her face came into view which made a gasp to escape from my mouth as I saw who it was. "Suzy?" I said and she opened her eyes to look at me, shaking her head. Her mouth was ta
Saint's pov We were already halfway to Matrix's hideout since it was a two-hour ride when I looked at Alessandro like he had just said the most atrocious thing ever. "What do you mean CJ is unreachable?" I asked him, ringing CJ's line from my phone. He had texted me immediately after he found Jade and I had since been waiting for his call to tell me they were safe somewhere, maybe at the house, at any of the hotels I owned or just any place he could think of. But no call came in and my racy thoughts and the unsettling feeling I got made me uneasy with every second that passed by. And I had instructed Alessandro to call him. The same unsettling feeling I got the night of Aunt's death. His phone was switched off and I immediately rang Jade's line but got the same thing at her end. Something had to be wrong. And I hoped Matrix hadn't gotten a hold of them. Or even if he had, I hoped they were at the same location as he was, which was the exact place we were going to. I hated mysel
Saint's PovThe tears I saw in her eyes as she looked at me in hatred made me risk yanking Lauretta off my thighs and not caring if I ended up dying from the cut on my neck. But the risk was a deadly one because I wouldn't survive if I dared. Lauretta was undeniably good with knives. Her only positive trait if I may add. I heard Lauretta giggle and grind herself a little more as she turned and locked eyes with Jade. She was making sure Jade thought we were doing whatever it looked like we were doing. I took that opportunity of her distraction to stretch my hands to the gun and grab it lightly, feeling her hand a bit loose on my neck. But that still didn't stop the pain that was springing out from there which made me know the knife had cut me a little. Jade turned around and hurried out, banging the door behind her just as I corked the gun in my hand, putting it to Lauretta's head. I called out her name, determined to end Lauretta and run after her immediately. Lauretta turned to
