The Mafia Alpha’s Twisted Games

02: After

"How did the auction went?" Her mother asked as she picked up the call.

Janice chuckled, because she is sure that someone must have tipped her mother, for her to call her very early in the morning. "It was okay. I was able to get you Tiffany sapphire diamond jewelry." Janice bragged and she could hear the squeal of her mother on the other side of the phone.

"I have to go before your father shouts on me. Make sure to send me an image later, love you." With that, the line went silent and she kept the phone aside, pushing her hair back.

She stood up, wearing her palms slippers and headed to open the curtains. A good morning like this deserves a good brewed coffee.

She picked her bones cap, wearing it and headed towards the kitchen. The time was just after six in the morning, so she still have enough time to get ready for the day.

Since her parents are yet to return, she will have to go to the headquarters and see how the business is going and then, she will head to her office. Brewing the coffee in her favorite mug, her mind went back to yesterday when Lord Javier had stopped her.

It was the first she was seeing him but he seemed so much familiar to her. She is just not sure of where she had seen him and cracking her brain won't even help a bit. "You must be Mr. Carter's daughter, the one he always brags about." Lord Javier had joked and she laughed, just to be polite.

At that moment, all she had wanted was for her to be at home and on her bed, but here he is, stopping her for a chit chat. "I am flattered." She told him, not sure if it was okay.

"I had wanted the jewelry but seeing how high you bided it, I instantly knew that it belongs to you, congratulations by the way." He uttered, bringing his hands forward for a handshake.

She would have said no, but he is a f*****g mafia, he can get her killed and no one will ever have the idea, even if they do, they can't bring her back or fight for her justice, so she pushed her hand forward, feeling a shock as they shook hands.

It was a feeling that she couldn't comprehend and when their hand touched, she got that creep again. She does know him somewhere.

And she was told that she has a tattoo on her back, it has to do with the Alvaros but everyone was scared to tell her what it is about. Actually, her father made her undergo a skin surgery where the tattoo was covered.

The skin on it can be taken off and one day, she will surely take it off and see what everyone is hiding from her. The beeping sound of the coffee brewing machine got her attention and she checked to see her coffee was ready.

She took it, inhaling the freshly scent before adding a spoonful of sugar and began drinking. "Heaven." She mumbled when the liquid passed through her throat.

She went to the living room, turning on the television and picking her tablet that she had left there before going for the auction. She scrolled through her emails, checking those with important headings and when she refreshed the home page, she got anew mail.

It was from the Alvaro Holdings and they were inviting her for a party, a masked party. Attached to it was her invitation card and also number. "Seems like the family loves giving out numbers." She pointed out, seeing that everything about them is that way.

Soon, she was done with her coffee and the time has passed so she went straight to her bathroom and turned on the shower.

A light breakfast was made ready for her and was arranged on the dining table. She exited her room, clad in an office wear and a short skirt that stopped below her knee. "Good morning miss." The maids greeted and they both rushed to serve her.

"Thank you." She told them when they were done serving her. She then asked them to excuse her as usual.

While eating, she continued to scroll through her feed until she was done with the food and felt like she couldn't move anymore but that can't be possible because she needs to be at the office.

She doesn't want her father to blame her for anything really, even though he loves her and she is his favorite before her mother, he won't hesitate to punish her for making any mistake. She called back the maids, thanking them again for the food and then left for work.

The car was already prepared for her and a driver waited for her. When he saw exiting the house, he rushed, opening the car door for her. "Good morning, Miss Janice." He greeted closing it and turned to enter the car also.

He revved the black sleek 2021 teasla, driving off the compound. "Where to, Miss?" He asked because he was sure she would want to make a branch at somewhere.

"The headquarters." She informed, turning her attention to her phone once again. It is so addicting and she will be glad to say that she is addicted to the phone and also, the apps installed on it.

Especially i********:, there she used to see and read all the soap operas going on abroad. And that was because, in the house, they are not allowed to watch anything that has to do with abroad, except it has to be news or about business.

And she is so used to that, that she doesn't pick the remote control to watch abroad soap operas. But when she found out about i********:, she was more than happy and she opened a cat fish account where no one will ever know she is the one.

On i********:, Janice has almost a thousand followers. She knows some of them and maybe she might have heard the family names. But that never made her speak to them, for her safety.

—

Javier Alvaro Holdings.

In front of him was a file that has to do with the Carter's family. He doesn't why he has the feeling that something was off about their daughter. "Are you sure?" He asked his personal assistant who had out the file together.

"Yes, even the doctor confirmed that." The personal assistant affirmed.

In the file, it was written that Janice Nacole Carter is the blood daughter of Nacole Carter, but he never had an idea that they had a child.

He just one day, woke up and saw the news. He thought they said it, just to have the media off their backs but when he saw the way and how adamant Janice was to win that jewelry, just like her mother, he decided to make his research, which brought him here. "Okay then. I will find a way to come over it." He informed, closing the file and throwing it aside.

"How far is the party coming up?" Javier asked, taking a sip of his green tea.

His assistant shrugged his shoulders, taking a seat. "It is okay. And I heard that Mr. and Mrs. Carter are still away so I sent Janice the invitation email instead." The assistant whose name was Alex revealed.

"It is okay. I think it will be her first time attending our patties right?"

Alex nodded his head and was later dismissed by Javier, even though he had no intention of leaving. Javier and Alex are two people that are not related by blood but by friendship.

Alex happened to be a refugee from Ukraine and when he came to Italy, the first person he met was a little Javier and his father. The duo quickly bonded which made Javier said that he wasn't going to leave the playground without Alex.

Since his father, Mr. Alvaro had the power, he got the custody of Alex and made sure he grew together with Javier. Their only difference is that Alex doesn't use their family name. He goes with Alexander Calvin, a name that first came to his name when he was about to register his name.

"I will come back later and you better not think of sending me away." Alex repeated seeing Javier wasn't giving him the attention.

Javier still chose to ignore him and when he was tired of trying to get Javier's attention, he left making Javier heaved a sigh.

Now, all he wants to do is find out why he feels like he has an idea of who that Janice is really. And why does he feel like the Carter's are hiding something from him.

But he can't even get the information out of them just like that. It is not like Janice offended him or anything. "How about you trap them?" He heard a mind whispered and he began to think about it.

It is really a good plan but then again, he doesn't want to look stupid in front of those that respect him so much. So trapping her is not going to make it to the list.
