Dirty Business

Chapter 2

Walking over to my table i can feel my body trembling with anger, George Handsin was a complete asshole that I couldn't f*****g wait to end. My father wasn't ill he was f*****g dead, and that arse had something to do with it.  I know he did the way he reacted to just thinking my father was just ill ,was all telling. He'd been at a masquerade ball when someone had slipped him a slow acting poison, that had killed him while he slept that night ,and no one there that night had enough of a reason or should I say enough balls to off a mob boss other than that piece of s**t. " Elliott i want his every move watched over the next few days now he thinks my father is still alive he will try to find out if its the truth ,he will start digging " Elliott my right hand nods and speaks quietly through his earpiece setting up my new orders . getting things into place. When my mother had woke up to find my father dead she had called me in hysterics, I couldn't console her she lived for my father.

 That night I'd dropped everything gotten on a plane and returned home,  as the head of the mafia. before I'd boarded the plane I'd given orders to lock the compound down ,no one was aloud in bar our own doctor to perform the postmortem it could have been natural causes. But when your the head of the mafia you treat everything as fowl play, until proven other wise and we was hundred percent correct in our suspicion this time. Mother had told me George had been sniffing around my father all that night at the masquerade ball, I began looking through the correspondence and checking out our contacts to find George had asked us to do him a hit a month earlier. My plan formulated from there we would keep my fathers passing under wraps, we had a private funeral that was kept secret and we would fish out his killer by making them think they had failed. they would either try again or they would be fearful and do something stupid that would trip them up eventually. Taking my seat I look around the room and see people looking my way some with intrigue others with disgust and some women with open interest.

 Rich folk didn't mind socialising with the mafia aslong we did the dirty work when there hands couldn't or we splashed our dirty money at there fancy charity balls. it made them in ways feel alive to be that close to danger. My eyes find there way back to the table George and his family where at, taking in each and everyone of the especially Jessica. I'd seen pictures of her in the files I'd been given , when I'd asked for everything we could find on George.  But her beauty had struck me then, but in the flesh she was a goddess a walking breathing ray of light .

 A waiter appears at our table carrying the expensive dinners i paid for, but I carn't pull my eyes away shes studying her plate taking the occasional bite she looks bored and sad. I glance to her mother and see where she gets her looks from, i study her movements and notice how fake they all seem. Eventually Jessica pulls her head up and plasters on a smile as she answers a question someone at her table asked her, then she goes back to looking at her plate. Asif sensing my stare she finally glances in my direction her whole body becomes tense then she quickly looks away and gains her composure glancing at her father. Something dosen't sit right with how she acts and moves everything seems an act pre planned and practiced. 

Looking away I pretend to  concentrate on the conversation my men are having and look at all the plates with uneaten food on the table,  we wasn't taking any chances even though we turned up surprisingly whoever it was that killed my father could have already slipped something in our food or drinks. so we was to touch neither . When I look back up George is looking at our table he looks at all the untouched plates then glances up and sees me looking right back with a raised brow, he smirks in my direction then looks away. " Did you see that Elliott" I smile while talking to him so if anyone looks in it looks like a polite converse between us,  but inside I was seething. 

He nods his head in confirmation that he had. We sit for another hour discussing mundane topics until dinner is over then we make our way over in to the crowd to mingle. No matter who I'm talking to I keep my eye on George and to my dismay his daughter too, something keeps pulling me back to her and I don't like it .just like I didnt like how her father seems to be introducing her to alot of young men who then seem to drool all over her, or place their hands on her it was all innocent touches but it was still  f*****g me off. It seemed her father was networking her showing her around, when the band kicks back in he places her hand in a man's hand , he places his hand around her waist and escorts her to the dancefloor .I look back at her father to see a triumphant smile on his face. 

Then it clicks he had just placed her with the son of one of the most powerful men in the banks , he was pimping his daughter off for a connection. The tall guy holds her close placing his hand at the bottom of her back, hes grinning down at her but its her face im studying disinterest she's being polite .she keeps looking up at him and gives him a small smile and answers back when he speaks to her, but that's about it  . The song finishes and he leads her off the dance floor placing a kiss on her hand . Turning my attention away I talk to a group of gentleman that has just come up and introduced themselves ,ones the CEO of the local tech support company a CEO of a marketing company then I loose interest as a  flash of green catches my eye .i look back and shes being led back to the dance floor by another man. 

This one's more handsy and its pissing me off ,he glides his hands up and and down her sides then one to her ass . I turn back to the group of gentleman and make my apologies that I will come back and converse with them in a short while,  something requires my attention. I make my way through the crowd not caring who I pass or ignore and storm onto the dance floor, Jessica see's me first her eyes bulging wide as she see's my target is her, it wouldn't be hard to decipher im looking straight at them. Her expression must alarm him someone was behind him ,because he spins around as soon as he see's its me a nervous look passes over his face .

 " Sorry to cut in so rudely but I'm pressed for time and wondered if I could take this dance with the beautiful lady". I see his eyes dart to the edge of the dance floor Jessica's does the same ,fear etched on that beautiful face. Stepping forward I take her hand not waiting for his reply ,if he wasn't willing to grow some balls and stand up for his right to be near the lady he isn't the one for her .if she was mine no man would ever get near but me. I pull her close and start to sway to the music her eyes are still frantically darting at her father so I look at him also, his body is wound tight hes smiling but there's a tick under his eye that gives off hes pissed. 

Leaning down I whisper in her ear " Dont worry sweetheart he won't make a scene here " I whisper so only she can hear ,she looks up at me shock on her face " Its not here I'm worried about " she whispers back. My back straightens as I look down at her " What do you mean by that Jessica " theres a snarl in my voice that shocks her . " Nothing he will just be displeased is all" looking at her trying to gauge the truth i decide to let it go and have her surveillanced, if I found out he hit her aswell his death was going to become a whole lot more painful than it already was  if we find proof he was the one to poison my farther he was better off killing himself. I smile down at her trying to lighten the mood " So tell me Jess how are you enjoying your evening " she looks down shyly then looks back up a smile on her face " Its as borning as every other event i have to attend ". 

I actually laugh out loud at her response, causing a few heads to turn our way " would that have been your reply with one of the other gentleman you have just danced with " her cheeks flame red she looks away embarrassed before she quietly answers no. Placing my finger under her chin I fetch her head back up until she's looking me in the eyes " Dont hide from me Jessica your eyes are too pretty for that and you can always be honest with me". She nods her head and bites her lip causing me to groan " please don't bite your lip sweetheart ". Her mouth opens and closes the beautiful blush creeping back up her cheeks. Just as I'm about to ask a really personal question I hear someone clearing there throat, I turn to see her dad. In a sickly polite voice he holds his hand out " could I please cut in for a father daughter dance". Smirking I step back from Jessica and pass her hand over to her father " Thankyou for the dance Jessica it was a pleasure and Thankyou for a wonderful night George it was" looking back at Jess i say the word " beautiful". 

She looks down to hide her reaction, i turn and walk back to my men Elliott is looking at me oddly I wave him off calling Joseph forward another one of my guards. " I'm leaving stay behind and blend keep an eye on her tonight,  I want in house surveillanced" he looks shocked but nods knowing it would be madness to question me. I turn to Elliot " We are leaving " he nods his head and talks on his earpiece, i set off walking out and take a look back at the dance floor as I pass Jessica is looking in the opposite direction from her father with tears in her eyes. 

while her father looks to be talking to her hes smiling ,but her emotions are all over her face I turn away and storm out before I go all caveman and sling her over my shoulder and take her away. I don't understand my reaction to her at all now wasn't the time to get turned inside out over a girl ,i'd done what I came to do to stir the pot and see who boils . That night as I had a random girl knelt on her knees infront of me sucking me whole, I feel unsatisfied I had to close my eyes and picture bright blue eyes and brown hair with a shy smile to get off and blow my load. f**k !!
