Nex’s POV
“How much did we lose ?”, I quietly asked as my men lined up in front of me.
“Ten million dollars worth of cargo, Nex”, my Beta, Cade answered. “But we managed to secure all our men and valuable goods in time”, he added.
“And what about Zero ? Did you get him ?”, I asked darkly.
That name always made me clench my fists and blood to boil.
That single man had cost me millions within a year and I would go insane if I don’t get to know who that living ghost of a person is.
“No. He was too smart for us. He never came to the warehouse while we were on the watch”, Cade answered nervously.
“I want you to takeover the business in Vancouver, Cade. We will make up for the lost money from there”, I strategized.
“I am sorry, Nex. I didn’t realize that the trap was of such a huge scale”, Cade murmured woefully.
I stood up and strode towards Cade’s broken figure.
“It’s ok, Cade”, I hugged him and he stared up in shock.
“The men are here, Nex”, Cade muttered in shock trying to push himself away from me.
“I don’t mind, Cade. Everyone should know this mafia is not just a business but a family also and the loss of a few million dollars is nothing compared to the loss of even a single family member”, I announced out loud and all the men instantly saluted me including the injured and shot a bullet each to mark their respect.
“You are the best, Nex. I still feel very guilty. I promise to bring back the Vancouver deal to you”, Cade swore.
“Don’t take unnecessary pressure, Cade. You did a fine job of evacuating our men and goods in time. So you should be proud of yourself. In any case we just lost the money but Zero didn’t gain anything either”, I pacified my best friend.
“If I were in an any other mafia, I am sure that the Don of that cartel would have shot me through the head by now”, Cade commented making me chuckle. “You are different, Nex but nonetheless scary too”, Cade joked and I thumped his back hard in fake annoyance.
“Bastard”, I cursed and he laughed.
“Your Dad’s”, he smart mouthed back.
“Take the day off, men. It was a really nerve wrecking time for you all. I want everyone to be fresh and fit for tomorrow’s plan. We will capture Zero this time”, I said and everyone nodded in agreement.
“Jake must be coming any time soon”, Cade murmured while looking at his Rolex.
“Alice must be leaving for home too. I have to make dinner”, I replied as I walked towards my Buggati.
“You are totally a whipped husband, aren’t you ?”, Cade teased. “Imagine the greatest Mafia Don of North America is a hopeless slave of love”, he taunted.
“Says the finest assassin of the continent who won’t even dare to point back a finger at his own husband”, I teased back.
“You are terrible, Nex”, Cade growled.
“That’s what Jake said”, I winked and got a few cuss words in return before I shot off back home.

“Hey honey”, Alice pecked my lips as she walked in home a little after midnight.
“Your boss is a good man but I still feel like killing him”, I complained.
Alice giggled and replied, “And why is that my dear ?”, she questioned and wrapped her arms around my neck and we swayed our bodies together in a slow dance.
“He gets to spend more time with you than me”, I pouted and she didn’t waste time in capturing my lips with hers.
“Stop being so adorable, baby”, she chuckled. “I wouldn’t be able to make it past the living room otherwise”, she winked and bit her lower lip while swaying her perfect ass to our bedroom.
“A rough day calls for a rough night ?”, I whistled as I followed her to our room like her loyal dog and a set of c**k twitching giggles followed suit.
Grrrrr. Cade was so f*****g right.
I am truly a slave of love.
Can’t help it though.
I love my soulmate too much.
