Frank took his time to savour her lips. Closing his eyes, he enjoyed feeling her soft skin against his. The scent of his lavender shampoo when mixed with her perfume smelt too good to him. He loved every second of holding her in his arms.
Never in his life had he thought that he would feel like this towards anyone. All the women he had slept with in the past were trash. They were nothing when compared to the precious treasure he was holding in his arms. He did feel her go stiff in his arms, yet he couldn't help it. She was like a drug to him. Her fragrance, her taste, her softness….. everything.
He needed more of it. More of her. More…..
Jennifer was completely rigid in his arms. Her eyes were wide. This wasn't the first time that she had gotten this close to him. However, t
Days passed by, quite normal for the Gothams. Meanwhile, the Parkers were infuriated that their men lost. Agitated, Oswald had demanded that they plan another attack that would guarantee that the girl he desired would be brought to him.Jennifer on the other hand completed her painting and was eagerly waiting for Frank to come back. She had now gotten used to him and his organisation and with time, the wound on her skull had healed completely.She had taken a shower and changed her clothes to be prepared for Frank to return after she perfected her drawing. She was excited. He had seen the painting before, however, revealing the final result was always exhilarating.She glanced at the wall clock from time to time. The clock had struck seven in the evening an
"Why don't you take Jennifer with you to meet our stakeholders?" Frank's father suggested, breaking the silence at the dinner table. Jennifer almost choked on her food. Yet, she managed to compose herself soon enough. Frank's eye darted from her to his father. Though his face showed no expression, he was feeling anxious about taking her to meet his allies. He knew Jennifer didn't approve of his lifestyle, and that was the only reason why he hesitated to flirt with her. "If she is to be the next Mafia Queen, she must meet them. I believe her wound has healed by now," his father added. The older man had his eyes fixed on his son and Jennifer, carefully examining any changes in their response. Jennifer gulped and looked at Frank, with a frantic heart. He glanced at her
Jennifer held him for as long as he wanted. She offered him the best support she possibly could, and they spent the night talking and sharing stories about their lives. Finally, Jennifer wanted to know a bit about his allies, so that when she goes to meet them, she could be prepared and would know what to expect.However, by the time the clock struck two in the morning, Jennifer was too sleepy. So sleepy that she could no longer keep her eyelids open. She wanted to stay awake and be there for Frank, yet she was just too tired.I'll rest against his arm….just for a little while…She thought and rested her head against his arm and slowly her eyes closed shut.Frank, who was enlightening her about his stak
Jennifer hopped off the car and ran inside the mansion while Frank climbed off casually."Boss," Mike called."Is she really your girlfriend now?" He inquired. Frank smirked."No," his answer was abrupt."But she sure doesn't seem like a prisoner to me anymore," Mike made sure he studied Frank's expression, however, it held nothing except the smirk his lips were curved into."Well, she is not an enemy anymore, she is my friend," chuckling, he replied and quickly walked away before he asked any more questions. He was not ready to be questioned on the matter by anyone. Not yet at least.Shaking his head in amusement, Mike chuckled as he dr
"The new shipment will soon arrive. When should we transfer the goods to the shed, boss?"One of his men who had requested to meet them asked Frank. He and his father were in the meeting room. Todd too was with them. Over three weeks had passed since the day they were attacked outside the Central Hotel, yet still, his father had not left. He had told Frank that he didn't want to leave since they were being occasionally attacked. He had carefully kept little investigations unknown to his son and nephew. Since Mr Gotham didn't leave, Todd also wanted to stay back.Frank didn't like the presence of his cousin. Yet he didn't say anything against him since he knew that his father wouldn't approve of it."Tonight. I'll be there by midnight," Frank told him. His father no
"I'm ready to go," Jennifer announced as she applied the last bit of make-up on her face. She was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans and a black top with flared sleeves which Frank thought looked great on her. She hadn't put on much make-up, just a simple black eyeliner and some red lipstick that touched up her natural grace. Her hair was pulled up in a high ponytail, exposing her slender neck.They were now prepared to meet the new affiliates and Frank couldn't help but admire how much her confidence had grown over the past few weeks. He still remembered how timid she was during the first meeting, yet now her confidence had grown tenfold.He watched her as she smiled at him confidently. She was no longer anxious to meet his men. She knew exactly how to put them in their place and they too gave her the respect she deserved
Jennifer was close to tears as they rushed to their Doc's place. Though Frank winced in pain at first, he soon got used to it. It was as though nothing had happened to him. However, his bloody pants proved that nothing was normal.Surprised at his calm state, Jennifer gaped at him. Frowning, she searched his face."Doesn't it hurt?" She asked, making Frank chuckle in response. Smirking, he glanced at her. He saw how concerned and surprised she looked at the same time."It burns," he told her and his response only added to her unrest."Then how can you be so relaxed?" She expressed her confusion.Amused by her reaction, Frank snickered."This isn't that bad. The doc will remove the bullet and put in some stitches. If the wound doesn't get infected, it won't take that long to heal," he told her.Grimacing, she leaned back in the seat. Her eyes darted to his wo
"Are you sure you wouldn't need help, boss?" Mike asked for the third time as he helped Frank up the stairs so that he could rest in his room. Jennifer was silently following them. They had returned to their mansion after his wound was stitched."Yeah, I'm sure," he confirmed as he entered the room with Jennifer right behind him.Smirking, Mike glanced at Jennifer and then at Frank."Okay...if you say so, boss. Maybe your girlfriend will help you around," Mike's eyes twinkled mischievously as he teased him.Frank pursed his lips and rolled his eyes, however didn't say anything. Still smirking, Mike turned towards Jennifer and bowed his head a little."Ma'am," he paid his respects to her a
Jennifer admired her reflection in the mirror. A little smile was constant on her lips. She had never thought that her special day would turn out to be like this. When she grew up, she had hoped that her father would be there for her on this day. That he would walk her down the aisle, holding her hand. Yet, that was far from reality. Her father had proved himself to be nothing but a halfwit.Her wedding gown was nothing short of a masterpiece. The top was embroidered using beads and sequins. The lacy flared skirt gave the gown an elegant look. Although her neckline revealed enough of her cleavage, she was certain that no one would dare look there. No one except the man of her dreams. A long slit on the side revealed her smooth legs. She smirked as she traced the Glock that was strapped to her thigh. Carrying it with her at all times was now a norm for her.
Todd just died? But she didn't pull the trigger...then who did? Gulping, Jennifer studied the lifeless body that lay in front of her.The sight of Todd's motionless body made her gag. Todd was lying on his back, with his eyes wide open, and his face suddenly drained of colour. No signs of life were in him. It was a quick kill. She noticed that the blood was pooling underneath his head but the wound wasn't visible. Which could mean that he was shot on the back of his head.She looked around frantically and spotted Frank at the stairs. However, he wasn't holding a gun. He too was staring bewildered.Just then, Frank's father stepped forward from behind."I told you, Todd was mine to kill," he said."Dad?" Frank was shocked to see his father."I heard what Mike told you. So I followed you upstairs. Didn't you realise that I was following you?" He smirked.Frank shrugged. "I guess
Great! She heard everything!" Todd mumbled squinting at the screen. When they checked the footage, they saw Jennifer and a tall, well-built man, listening to every word they uttered."Everything is ruined! Again! And because of that damned woman!" Todd grumbled, sneering in frustration."She keeps ruining everything for me! She is such a nuisance. I should have gotten rid of her first when I had the chance!" Todd gritted his teeth."What now?" Oswald frowned as he glanced at his father."We don't waste time. We must attack now! Tonight! We must attack at once!" He stated and stood up from his seat."Quick! Call the men! Get ready to fight. We are going to finish them off and leave this place for good!" He decreed."Leaving?" Oswald frowned."Yes. Leaving. We will move to Italy and that's where we will settle down. I am done living in the states. But I'm not going to leave without teaching them
Jennifer sat in the car, with a racing heart. She was excited and anxious at the same time. She was going back home after a long time. She wondered what her nanna would say.Would she be excited to see her? Would she hug her like she always does? An involuntary smile curved her lips as she thought about her reunion with the woman she loved and respected as a mother. She knew she most probably would have to explain a lot. But one thing was certain. Her nanna would be happy to see her happy.Sighing, she glanced outside. She was as excited as a little child who was seeing the passing city lights for the first time. Life had taken an unexpected turn for her. When she was first taken as a prisoner, she had never thought that she would fall for the ruthless Don, who showed no mercy.She chuckled. Who kn
Todd went to meet Oswald. He didn't know what else to do. He couldn't possibly go anywhere that they could get their hands on. His life was, without a doubt, in danger. His uncle wouldn't spare him.He knew what would happen. They would detect the presence of cyanide and then look for him. When they don't find him, they will check the CCTV footage. What he sees on the footage will take things from bad to worse. Todd was certain that his uncle would kill him as soon as he saw him. He could no longer hide in any place he knew. His uncle would know each of his hideouts and most probably, send his men everywhere to catch him."What happened?" Frowning, Oswald asked as soon as he reached the bar Todd had asked him to go urgently. The place wasn't very popular and was located a good distance away from Frank's mansion. Todd had gone the
Frank's father sneered from time to time, his eyes glued to the screen. They were in the security room, going through the security footage of the mansion. They couldn't find Todd in the mansion. The security guards at the main gate at that time had seen him leave in his car so Frank and the others had opted to check the security footage."That insolent jerk!" Frank's father growled when he saw Todd emptying the contents of a small bottle into the bottle of wine he had taken from the kitchen cabinet. Everything happened as Jennifer had told them. Barton took the bottle from him and went to do what he was asked to. Jennifer and Frank along with Mike and other men who Frank and his father trusted the most were with them.They saw how he advanced at Jennifer and held her tight, but she managed to escape after kicking him in the crotch.
"Barton, my good man, I need a little help from you. Take this bottle. And serve Frank. Miss Jennifer had bought this for him and forgotten this bottle here in the kitchen. As you know this is his favourite brand of liquor." Todd handed the bottle to the worker. "Remember, serve this especially to my cousin." Jennifer couldn't believe what she was hearing. She hadn't bought a bottle of liquor for Frank. She couldn't understand what Todd was talking about. After the revealing of her painting, she had gone to the kitchen to look for Ron as she wanted to ask him to serve the food he had prepared. However, she couldn't find Ron. Instead, she found Barton, the worker who was supposed to be in charge of the drinks for the nig
Todd dashed up the stairs and ran towards his room. His heart frantically beat in his chest. Lentils of sweat dripped down his sideburns. He didn't know Frank was listening to his conversation. He had been extremely careful about his connection with Oswald yet it was ruined with just a phone call.He growled as he picked up a vase on the side table and threw it on the floor. The pieces of ceramics scattered on the marbles with a loud crash. Sneering angrily, he stormed towards the balcony in the room.He didn't bother about the little ceramic pieces that crushed underneath his shoes as he walked over them. He walked towards the railing and grasped the cold metal of the railing with all his might."Damn him!" He grumbled under his breath. Seething in anger, he reached out for the pack of cigarettes in his pocket. After lighting up one of them, he blew a few puffs of smoke into the atmosphere, hoping that it would calm
Days passed since Mike was told to keep an eye on Todd. He made sure that Todd didn't leave the mansion without his knowledge. He kept watching his every move discreetly. When he didn't notice anything absurd, he started to listen to his phone calls too. However, he saw nothing to be concerned about."What is the news on Todd? Did you find anything I should worry about?" Frank asked Mike on their way to the shed.Shaking his head, "no, boss. Nothing. He doesn't leave the house much. And if he leaves, it usually will be for work in the shed."Mike's reply wasn't satisfactory. Frank was certain that something was odd. They couldn't have known to attack them at that particular restaurant that night unless they were continuously spying on them or unless Todd had informed them about their whereabouts.Frank narrowed his eyes as he recalled how the masked attacker had groped her that night. He wa
