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

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

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.

    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.

Immediately she did that, Xander pushed her away. “What are you doing here Samantha?.” Xander asked her as I put some distance between them. “I came to see you, only for them to announce that you are married to this bitch here. Tell me, is this true?.” She pouted at Xander. “That bitch is my wife! And the next time you dare insult her, I won’t hesitate to put a bullet between your heads! Are you clear?”. Xander glared at her. I didn’t expect that from him. “Good! Now off you go!.” Xander turned to look at me. “Hi…” he started to say but I didn’t wait for him to finish his sentence. I walked out of his presence and started heading back to the house. I honestly don’t have strength for this.

In other words, she looks like a wife Material. I need her by my side to convince my Asian clients that I am a responsible man. By my findings, most Asians will not work with a single man and so I need to stay married for a very long time.” I explained to Stacy. “Are you sure that is the only reason why you are keeping her here?.” St

It’s the popular La Visa restaurant. It is the most popular restaurant here in New York. They serve food from about fifty different countries of the world. I heard that a plate of food here cost more than a thousand dollars. My friends and I always wish to come here. It is on our bucket list. I can’t believe I am standing before the restaurant. The doorman prostrated to us as we passed. The whole restaurant is empty. “Good evening Mr and Mrs Cage, the dinner is upstairs”. A lady wearing a waitress uniform directed us to the stairs. “Why is the restaurant empty?”.

    Ashley’s POV Early the next morning at five o'clock as usual, Stacy came and woke me up. “Good morning Ashley” Stacy happily greeted. I wonder why she is always happy as early as this. So I concluded that she must be a morning person. “What’s good about the morning?.” I grumble. “Well for the fact that you're alive, you can talk, you can walk, you can use all parts of your body. That enough is good about the morning!.” Stacy dropped her motivational quote. I rolled my eyes at her. We entered the gym and I scanned the machines. Since she is in a good mood today, I pray that she doesn’t make me try all the machines. “Let’s warm up, we are doing the push up and Dive today!.” Stacy said and I looked at her to make sure I heard it right. “Pardon?” I asked. “We are doing only today except you want to do me?.” Stacy asked. “What no!

    Xander and I eat our food in silence before we move to the club. Xander immediately led us upstairs where the VIP was. Rick and some men were gisting and drinking while a lot of half naked girls strippers danced around them. “Go into the inner room, I will just have a meeting with my men!”. Xander ordered as he push me into the inner room. The place is more quiet and private than the outer part. I sat with my hand folded not knowing what to do. After a while, I looked through the glass separating the two sides and saw Xander comfortably seated with a stripper sitting on his lap. It seems as if she is giving him a lap dance. The Nerves of him! He kept me here doing nothing while he was having fun. I angrily walked to the fridge and took a drink for myself. Perks of being in the VIP. I picked a glass from the shelf and poured myself a drink and immediately took it all at once. I nearly threw up because of how bitter the drink tasted and it burned in my mouth. “Drinking now are we?”
