Xander’s POV When I woke up the next day, I went downstairs and found Rick sitting in the lounge room. “Tell all the men to gather in the dining hall!.” I instructed him. I went to the kitchen and made my coffee before I headed to the dining hall. I found all the men sitting and waiting for me. “Greetings to all of you!.” “Greetings Don.’” All the men echoed. “I have two pieces of news to share with all of you today. The first one is that we have finally found the mole that sold information about our shipment to the klan's Mafia!.” I said and looked at their faces. I am good at studying people so I wanted to be sure that Yaks was working alone. None of them looked scared or guilty so we are good to go for now. “It’s Yaks!.” I said and I saw the look of shock on their faces. I am very sure they didn’t expect him to do something like that. I didn’t expect him to. Yaks was born into the mafia just like Rick and I and so he was supposed to understand that the mafia don’t tolerate bet
“Good morning Mrs Cage, your husband asked me to accompany you to the mall!.”. The man said. I feel very awkward being referred to as “Mrs”. “Ashley !”. I said and I saw the confused look on his face. “Call me Ashley!.” I stated. He nodded and we went out of the house. Strangely, the house is empty just like yesterday night. In front of the house is the latest Rolls Royce Phantom car. He opened the back seat for me and I entered before he entered the driver’s seat. I look around the interior of the car. I don’t know much about cars but I am sure that this car cost a fortune. “What is your name?”. I asked him after five minutes of driving. “Jo!”. He replied. “Jo? No offense but what sort of name is that?.” I wonder why someone should name their child Jo. “It’s the short form of Joseph!.” He answered. Wow, like Joseph from the Bible. With all his muscular body and tattoos, he surely doesn't look like Joseph. “ I understand why you use the short form Jo. You look more like a Jo and
Ashley’s POV “Denver Drive us to the Amir’s Club. I am going to return this bitch and get back my money. !”. Xander instructed his driver and my heart stopped beating. What does he mean he wants to return to me. That can’t be good. I am very sure that it will end up badly on my own part. I don’t know why I was foolish enough to run to the policeman. Now look at the result. The poor man got killed because of me. I have a guess that Xander belongs to a mafia organization or something related to that. But I didn’t think that he would have the balls to shoot a police officer in the open. “Please! I am sorry, don’t take me back there!.” I pleaded with Xander who refused to even acknowledge my presence. I kept on crying until we arrived at the familiar building. “Get out!”. Xander yelled at me but I shook my head. “Don’t try me! Get out or I will pull you out myself!.” “No please! I am sorry, I will do anything but don’t take me back there!.” I cried as I pleaded with him. I have a fee
Xander’s POV I left her room and went to the gym. I felt the need to punch something. I have never felt so much emotion at once in my entire life like I am feeling right now. God she has already been here for a day and she is driving me crazy already. I punched the punching bag hard. “Well judging from the way you are punching the bag. It only means that she is alive.”. Jo said as he moved deeper into the gym. “Not for long. I felt like strangling her to death!.” I stopped punching the bag and took off my shirt that was already covered in sweat. “It’s nice to see you walk up on a girl!.” Jo smirked at me. “That’s funny coming from the one who got tricked by a teenager!.” I jest at him and he blushed embarrassed. “What are you going here anyway?.” I asked him. “I want to head to the club and I saw the lights here! I knew it had to be you! So are you coming to the club or are you good?.” Jo asked me. “Let me go and freshen up so that we can go!.” I told Jo and headed upstairs. Ju
I woke up from sleep feeling refreshed. The massage oil coupled up with the soft bed had cured my back and neck ache. I placed my leg on the ground and tried to see if it was still in pain but it had completely healed up. I went out of my room and headed downstairs in search of food. I have only eaten once in the last twenty four hours so I am more than famished. I went downstairs before I stopped. I don’t know the kitchen and this is too big for me to roam about in search of the kitchen. “Hey!.” I waved at a man standing close to the front door. He stopped walking and turned to look at me. I hurried and went to his side. “Good morning, I am looking for the kitchen?.” I asked him. “Who are you? Why are you walking around the house? Didn’t the person who brought you here inform you that you are supposed to leave early in the morning before the boss sees you?.” The man rudely said. I don’t even understand a thing about what he meant. “Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean. I think
Xander’s POV When I woke up from sleep, I went to check on Ashley so that I could inform her about the dinner party that is being held tonight in honor of our wedding. she isn’t in so I guess she must be downstairs eating her breakfast. I headed straight for the kitchen and was surprised that I didn’t find her there. “Did you see a ginger-haired lady?.” I asked my cook Mary and her daughter Rose. I am not sure they know Ashley by name so I decided to describe her features to them. “Are you referring to your wife sir?.” Mary asked me. Of course they would have heard about her by now. After all, the walls have ears. “Yes, her. Did you see her this morning?.” I asked. “Yes she had breakfast with sir Jo and left not long ago!.” Mary explained. I clench my fist when I heard that she was with Jo. I don’t like how they are getting close. I made a mental note to remember to tell him to stay the hell away from my wife. “How long since she left.?” I asked. “Like fifteen minutes ago!.” I f
Ashley’s POV At exactly four o clock, Rose came knocking at my door. Right now, both of us are in my closet looking for the perfect dress for me to wear. We both ended up deciding on a black long dress. Rose is doing my makeup now. “How long have you been working for the mafia?” I curiously asked her. “ Well I was born into it. But my family has been working for the mafia since Xander’s grandpa is the don!.” Rose explained. “How 's life here? Don’t you sometimes wish that you aren’t in this kind of life?.” “Well sometimes, but most of the time I am happy here. I know that with time, you will be glad to be here also. The don is a very nice man! You aren’t going to get issues from him!” Rose defended. “All done! Take a look at yourself!.” Rose excitedly said. I stood and looked at the mirror, I was actually impressed with the makeup. It wasn’t heavy but it made my face look matured. No one will believe I am actually a teenager with this kind of makeup. “Thank you! I must comment,
Xander’s POV “So Mr Xander, how is your wife?.” Mr Hu’s secretary asked me. I frown at him. I don’t know what he is getting at. “She Is fine. Is there a problem?.” I asked. “Not at all, I just wanted to remind you of the dinner on Sunday night.” He smirked at me. What exactly is his problem? It’s not as if I have any business with him. “Well of course, I haven’t forgotten about it. In Fact, my wife and I are looking forward to it!”. I force myself to smile for the sake of Mr Hu. Heck if not because this contract is important to me, I would have been here. “Very well then, the contract shall be handed over to you on Sunday evening at the party!.” Mr Hu stated. The meeting still went on for another twenty minutes. After the meeting, I decided to head home before I received a call from Rick. I guess my guest was waiting for me then. I decided to call Ashley and inform her that I will be late. But then I remembered that she doesn’t have a phone. I made a mental note to get her one t
