Broken by the Mafia

Chapter : 3. A day with him..

I couldn't be happier than this. Today I get to spend the whole day with my husband Jasper. But first I need to clear my today's schedule to have a peaceful day out. Thinking this, I quickly ate my breakfast and got ready to go to my office. Thankfully Jasper is also accompanying me to the company and as I got ready, I found him ready for business too. He is wearing a black suit with black trousers like always. I think he has some kind of possession over the color black, because that all he wears. Even all his cars are only in black. On the other hand, I like colorful things more. Specially red and blue. So today I got ready for my office, wearing a red business suit with Ol Skirt and blazers. This outfit is making me sexy yet professional.

“Nice… Maybe we should stay home for a bit more my sexy boss.” Jasper said as he pulled me into his chest by holding my waist.

“We will have enough time for that, if we finish our work fast and come back home. Come on, let's go.” I told him and gave him a peak on his cheek.

After that, we went out for our work on his car. Our company isn't far from the mansion as it only takes 15 minutes car ride. So we reached our destination really soon. As we both got out of our car, our workers started greeting us good mornings. I replied to them with smiling faces while Jasper just nod to them with a serious look. I don't know what happens to him when he's outside. In home, he behaves so nice with me. But once he's out of the house, he becomes a rude and mean guy. I know he's a millionaire and have a reputation to keep up, but having an ego about it is not the way. I really don't like this side of him.

“Sir, thank god you came here today. Ms. Geller is here about the rejection of his proposal. He's creating a huge fuss over it and I think it will be better if you talk to him about it.” My secretary came rushing to us and informed Jasper about the new trouble.

Mr, Geller is one of Jasper's partners in Colombia, and they had a fight over something a few days ago. That's why Jasper rejected all of their deals and want to close their partnership. Thankfully Jasper's here today, or else I would have to face that crazy guy.

“Oh god… Good luck with that. See you at lunchtime. Buy.” I told him as he sighed and went to meet his old friend.

“Looks like someone forgot his real boss while attending his CEO. Maybe I should fire him for this betrayal.” I said to my secretary as his face got pale in fear.

“I… I didn't mean that… I'm sorry madam… Good morning…” he started shuttering to make me reconsider.

“Relax Mike. I'm just kidding. I will never fire you. You're the best man I got.” I said, while laughing.

“You scared me for a moment there, madam. That was not funny.” He replied.

“Now I'm thinking that I should fire you. How many times did I ask you to call me Zoey, not madam or anything?” I said, showing a fake seriousness.

“You know I can't do that. If your husband finds out about, he would kill me immediately instead of firing from the job. I would save my life in place of my job. Thank you very much.” He said dramatically, making me laugh out loud.

“You're hilarious Mike. I really like your drama's.”

I laughed so much because of him that my eyes started tearing up and my stomach started hurting. Mike is a young guy around my age with glasses and geek looks. No matter how his looks are, he is the best in his job, as he knows how to handle the pressure and arrange everything perfectly. He was following me all the way till I entered my cabin. The cabin I have in this office, is amazing. This whole building is made out of mirror glass from outside. And from my cabin, I can clearly see the ocean, and it's mesmerizing waves. Every day when I come here, the first thing I do is stand in front of the glass, look at the ocean in front and take a deep breath before starting my work.

Today was one of those same day's as I enjoyed the view from my office once and went to sit on my desk. I not only do these company works, but I also prepare all the contacts Jasper needs to do in all his companies. It's way easier for him to catch-up with everything when he's home and his mind is clear. Besides, people tell me that I am excellent at doing business because whatever project I take in my hand, it always gets success.

As I sat at my chair, I noticed Mike entering my cabin with a heap of files in his hand and in the next moment he slammed all of it in front of me on the desk. I looked at it again and took a deep breath to calm my nerves. This is an everyday routine for me as I have to check all of these files. But the pressure today is more because I have to finish it before lunchtime if I want to go on a lunch date with my husband.

In just a moment, I was drowned in all the paperwork's and working in an inhuman like seed. Mike went to check on Jasper, if he needs something or not. About three hours later, he again came back with a cup of nice hot coffee, filling the room with the aroma of it. I have just completed half of my work and half of it still remains at my desk.

“Thank you, Mike. Where's Jasper?” I asked him to know how long it's going to take my husband to finish his meeting.

“He's still in that meeting. I'm not sure how long it's going to take, madam. They are still arguing.” He replied to me.

“I hope I can complete my work before he finishes up. I'm really looking forward to having this lunch with him.” I told him, as I took a sip of my coffee.

“Going on a date today? Have fun, madam.” He said with a smiling face.

“Thank you. You can go now. I'll finish it up soon and call you, okay.” I said to him, and he smiled at me before going out of the cabin.

Once Mike was gone, I went back to my work and drowned myself in all these papers. My coffee, from which I have just taken only one sip, sat on my desk, completely forgotten. But it wasn't much longer when someone stormed into my cabin, disturbing my work. It made me a little angry at that person because not only she just disturbed my work, but she also barged in my cabin without taking permission. I slammed my pen on the desk and stood up to shout out at that person when I noticed who this person is.

“You fu*king bi*ch. What do you think of yourself, huh..? You took everything from me already. Now you want to take my company too. I won't let you do that anymore. You're a fu*king witch and I will fu*king take all of your black magic out of you in a snap. I'll make you a wh*re again like you was always.”

The person who dared to insult me with these disgusting words is none other than Ms. Miller. Jasper's ex-wife. Yes. Jasper was once married before me. The reason for their breakup is none other than myself. After the accident, when I started to know Jasper more, I found out that Jasper was once married to Ms. Miller. And I was Jasper's secretary back then. But once he started falling in love with me, they got divorced and Jasper married me right after.

But all of these events seem unbelievable to me. Why would I have an affair with a married man? Why would I marry a man so much older than me? Why would I break a married couple just because I felt an attraction to a guy? It's not like I'm into old guys, or I have a greed of money. Then why did I marry Jasper? These all thoughts make my head burst in pain whenever I try to remember the reason behind all this…

“Ms. Miller. Calm down and tell me what problems did you have?” I asked her as calmly as possible.

“Go to hell with your calm. Why did you cancel the petition of a new branch I applied for?” She asked me angrily.

“I cancelled it because that wasn't necessary for our company. We already have three branches in your city, and they are running perfectly. We don't need to make another one because it will only give us a loss.” As I said that, she came rushing to me and throws all the papers of her hand into my face.

“F*ck with your thoughts. This my husband's company, and he will only decide what to do with my application. Who are you to step into our matter?” She said, making me more angry at her.

“I think you are forgetting who you are talking to. I'm Jasper Francisco's current wife, and you are his ex. He gave me the responsibility to take care of his business himself, and I will do my duty of thinking only good for our company. If you have any other problems, you can talk to him yourself.” As I said that, she became angrier and was about to slap me when I caught her arm in the midway.

“Don't test my patience or the results won't be good. Don't forget that I have hands too, and I know how to use them perfectly. Stay on your limits.” I said, throwing her arms back into its place.

“You fuc*ing sl*t. You dared to touch me with your dirty hands...” Saying this, she picked up the cup of my coffee and threw the hot liquid all over my face.

“Aaaa...” I screamed out loud as I felt the hot coffee burning the skin of my face.

Jasper entered my cabin right at that time and witnessed everything she did. Mike called for him as soon as he saw Ms. Miller, because he knows that her arrival only causes problems every time. Jasper and Mike both rushed near me while I was holding my face in pain.

“Grab some wet cloth right now…” he ordered Mike, and he immediately rushed to follow his orders.

“What the hell were you thinking, Karen? What's wrong with you?” He screamed at his ex-wife.

“It's her who started this. This Fuc*ing sl*t cancelled my petition purposely. She wants to take all my companies too, just like she took you from me. I already lost everything, and now she wants to take my company too. You know it's the only thing I'm living for after our s...” Jasper stopped her in the middle of her sentence.

“Stop Karen. Just stop. You don't have to remind me of anything because I remember everything clearly. I promised you that I will make everything equal when it's time and believe me, I'm trying my best. But this is not the way to show your emotions. You should have called me about it before barging in here and burning her to death. Zoey is really important to me, and you will know why, when the right time comes. So don't try to do these things to her. You can go now, and I will check everything with you later.”

I heard Jasper say these words to his ex-wife. Although I couldn't understand half of it, but it caught my attention when he said that I'm really important to him. Maybe this is his way to express his love for me in front of his ex-wife. Maybe he's trying to tell her that he loves me now, but indirectly. And I hope she understands it better for this last time.
