His Deceitful Queen

Chapter 3

Dominic's POV

As soon as the wheels touched down in New York I was filled with a new hope. Hope of getting my revenge on her. She would never see me coming. I grabbed my bag and got the hell off the plane and went and hailed a taxi. I had it take me straight to my apartment. It wasn't a huge place, not like back home but it was a comfortable two bed, two bath.

I unlocked the door and went inside. It smelled dusty and unused, which it was. I hadn't been here in almost two years. I had a cleaner come every few months but since I was in prison I didn't have anyone coming. I went around and turned on every light and started wiping things down. I hated messes.

After cleaning for a bit, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and turned it back on. It instantly went off with messages and missed calls. I ignored all of them and ordered some food to be delivered and then sent an email to the cleaning company I used and asked them to start coming by, starting tomorrow.

I sent a message to the man who had been watching Amaya for me. He was quick to respond.

"She is currently at her second job. Should be leaving in a few hours." he sent back.

"Good. What time does she start work in the morning?"

"Eight am. I will send you the address." he replied back, and I locked my phone and smiled to myself. When the morning rolled around she was going to learn that I was out and that I was her worst nightmare.

I went to bed after changing the sheets, but I didn't sleep all night. I lay in bed thinking of all the different things I wanted to do. The first was to let her know that I was watching her.

I got out of bed early and grabbed some clothes that I had in the closet here and left my apartment. I didn't have a car here but that would be something I needed. I needed to be able to sit on the street and watch her. Traffic here was a b***h, but it would be worth it.

I took a taxi and had them drop me a block from her office. I had scouted the area online and found they had a coffee shop across the street. I also knew that she visited it from time to time so I had to be careful going in there but I knew she was already at work so I should be safe today.

I ordered a large black coffee and went and sat down at the seat by the front window. I could see her sitting at the desk typing away on her computer. She would greet people as they came in and she would laugh and joke with them. Her face would light up when she laughed. God I missed her, but I couldn't let my stupid feelings get in the way of this. As mad at her as I was, I still loved her and that just makes me hate her more. I didn't want that and sure as s**t didn't ask for it, but I fell hard, and she betrayed me in the worst way possible.

After several hours of watching her, I pulled my phone out and put my first thing in motion. Her favorite flowers were pink roses, so I ordered six pink roses to be delivered immediately with a note that read "little" on it. She didn't know it, but she was now my little mouse because she ran like a scared little mouse.

"Excuse me sir, but if you are going to continue to sit here then I'm going to need you to order something else. We are busy and we have customers needing tables." said a little waitress who had to be a teenager and by the scared look on her face she was nominated to come over here and tell me this. I pulled my wallet out and pulled out two one-hundred-dollar bills and held them up.

"Here is a hundred that will pay for whoever is in line for coffee, so I'm a paying customer and a tip of a hundred and we will just pretend that you don't see me here today at all and not bother me again."

"Yes, sir," she said, snatching them out of my hand and running off. I chuckled to myself. That was way too easy. You could buy anybody with money, this is a lesson I learned all too well.

I watched as the flower delivery showed up. They walked to the front office, and she took the flowers and when she saw that it was for her Alex, her new name, her face lit up. I knew she thought it was from her boyfriend or whatever he was. They didn't go out and he didn't stay at her place, but I knew they hooked up. Maybe it was more of a friends with benefits thing but he would be gone soon enough.

Her face turned from happiness to confusion. She had no clue what it meant or who it was from. She quickly put her card back in the envelope and shoved it into her purse. People commented on them, pointing them out and several co-workers asked her about them as well. I wish I knew what she was saying to them, but she still had that smile on her face.

I grabbed a taxi and had them take me to the nearest car dealer. I needed something that didn't stand out. Also, something with a back seat that would be easy for me to put her in. I walked around the used lot looking at car after car. They didn't have my usual taste but that wouldn't work anyways because it would stand out and I don't want that.

"Hello, can I help you with something?" One of the salesmen came up to me.

"I need a car. Something that blends in but still has some get up and go to it." I told him.

"Take a look at this Honda Civic over here. It's got low miles, and it will get up and go. It's also fully loaded, every option you could ever want." he said trying really hard to make the sale.

I slid into the driver's seat, and it was not what I was used to but would work for this.

"How much is it?" I asked after we test drove it.

"For you I could do twenty grand." he said thinking he had me suckered.

"Fifteen and I pay cash."

"Sold," he said without a second thought.

I went and signed all the paperwork and ran my card and took off going straight back to my apartment. When I pulled into the parking garage it definitely didn't fit in with the cars in here. They were all million-dollar cars or more. I parked in the back and went up to my apartment. When I got there it had been cleaned and smelled fresh today. The fridge was also stocked with the groceries I had bought.

I made some food real fast and sat down pulling my phone out while I ate. Again, I had messages from all three of my brothers and my sister. They were worried but right now I just needed time alone. I needed to put my plan in place. After eating I left and went to the electronics store and bought all the cameras that I needed. Then I drove to her apartment and waited for her to leave. I had to wait a good two hours, but she finally left.

I let her get a half a block ahead of me and got out of my car and followed her all the way to the subway. I snapped a few pictures of her for later. Once I saw she was on the subway I turned back and went back to my car. I called my guy Jake and told him to meet me at her apartment. I hadn't met him yet, but I had been paying him a pretty penny for the past year now.

When I got to my car, I grabbed my backpack out and headed up to her apartment. I didn't have to worry about a damn thing here. She lived in a bad part of town, and no one would question anything here. I grabbed the lock pick kit and got to work on her door. She had three locks, and they were all easy to pick, not very safe but again what was she asking for living in this area.

I shut the door behind me and walked through her tiny ass apartment. She had an old ratty futon pushed up against a wall and a nightstand beside it and no other furniture. The walls were bare of anything. I opened the drawer on the nightstand and the only thing in there was a picture of us. She had snapped it on her phone one night. We were lying in bed naked. Her head was on my chest and the blankets pulled up enough so that it didn't show anything inappropriate.

I heard the door open and saw a man walk in.

"Jake," I asked.

"Sure am. You must be Dominic."

"Yes. Thanks for meeting me."

"What are we doing?"

"I need cameras set up in her apartment, also I wanted to meet the guy that I've been paying for the past year." I told him and handed him a camera. I had more than I needed because I wasn't sure how big her place was, so I would for sure have access to every inch.

"Can I ask what she did? I mean for you to go to the extent that you have. I mean you have paid enough money that I haven't had to do anything else."

"She betrayed me in the worst way possible."

"Cheating?" he questioned and now I was getting annoyed with his questions.

"No," I snapped at him and he got the point that I wanted him to shut up.

We finished setting everything up and I checked it on my phone, and it provided a feed right to the app.

"Thanks for everything. Right now, I don't need anything else but if I do, I will give you a call."

"Sounds great. Again, thanks for the job." he said and walked out of her apartment.

I finished looking around when I opened her fridge. There was a half package of hamburger meat and a few other things and that was it. I don't understand where all of her money was going. I couldn't find anything in her financials and the amount of money she was making with both jobs would be enough to provide more than this for her.

I left her apartment and made sure that I locked her locks back up and made my way back to my car. I never saw a single person here which was odd, but it was also late. Getting into my car I drove straight to the strip club. It took me a good thirty minutes due to traffic around here.

I got out and went inside. The lights were low, and it reeked of booze. There were girls on stage dancing. I knew she had a single show that started in ten minutes. They had a schedule online and Lex was always the headliner. I knew why because the girl was sexy as f**k, and I know how well she dances. She did it for me multiple times.

I grabbed a whiskey and went to the table in the back. I sat back here watching the stage and sipping my drink. The lights went out and the music died down.

"Gentlemen, please help me welcome a crowd favorite to the stage, and remember if you like her, tip her. LEX," he then yelled out and a spotlight turned on and she was pushed up against the pole, with her legs spread, her head back and her t**s pushed out.
