Jace p.o.v
I was surprised by Natalia's reaction to a family dinner, yet I really thought that she was going to come up with a story, but she kind of has a small heart. I went back into my office with my father not far behind me while the ladies were in the living room getting themselves cozy up.
"Storm coming up father?"
"Hey I have never seen an actual girl in your house at your townhouse yes, but not her son!"
"So what you took it as an opportunity to get to know her?"
"Maybe, now please enlightened me by telling me who she is?"
"Her name is Natalia and she is the daughter of Brice!" I said throwing us a whiskey knowing that he might flip about this part, so before he does freak out I can at least give him a whiskey to calm him down.
"Brice has a daughter?" my father replied even more surprised than I thought.
"Yes, did you not know?"
"Well in all of these years that I have known Brice he kept his life very secretive from the rest of the world especially from us the mafia!"
"Why?" I asked without thinking seeing to how my father's face changed into curiosity.
"Mafia has rules just like bikers, but I mean let's face it a biker girl son can easily be manipulated!"
"Is that what you think father?"
"Yes, don't you?"
"Well any woman can manipulate a man, I mean look at my mother!" I said seeing a huge smile on my father's face. I have seen true love through my mother and father, but I can never know that type of love not with my life. I know that she is going to leave once we find Logan, but the only question I ask myself is would I be disappointed in the fact of not seeing her anymore?
I looked down into my whiskey glass drinking the last sip before my father could see my feelings.
"Listen, Alexis met someone and she would like us to meet him.."
"Biker?"
"No!"
"Mafia?" I asked to hope for a negative answer and once I heard him say no again I felt relieved of the fact that my little sister will not be dating a d**k like me!
"Marine!" my father said making me look up to him. He looked just as speechless as I did.
"Well, that is something you don't get every day!"
"Jace!"
"I know father, but do we really need to go down this path again?"
"He won't fish Jace, he just came from Afghanistan and he is madly in love with her!"
"I will just keep a close eye on him!" I said taking his glass from him placing it on the table before we headed out to the living room. As my father and I came down the hall I heard my mother laugh as well as an innocent laugh. That is not Alexis, is it? As we came by the living room I saw who that laughed belonged to no other than Natalia. She could barely talk from the laugh that she had kept in until she saw me making her smile drop to the floor.
"Are you boys done?"
"Yes, my love Jace let's get the ladies some wine!" my father said leaving the room without asking Natalia if she would like some wine? Why the hell do I even care about what she loves?
"Sweet or dry?" I asked Natalia seeing a smile creeping up to her face "Sweet please!" she said before I left to help my father.
Natalia p.o.v
I watched as Jace left the room with his jeans and a black shirt that was tight around his body. f**k he killed me slowly and painfully with his looks. His tattoos were more visible than before making me forget about his mother in the room until she called my name like the second time...
"Natalia are you alright?"
"I am sorry, what were you busy saying?" I said with a fainted smile feeling so silly for what had just happened.
"Forget about that darling, I see the way that you're looking at my son.."
"Mrs. Haunt.."
"He is a good man darling, I know he has a reputation, but he just needs the right person in his life!"
"My honest opinion Mrs. Haunt, I think he needs a miracle!" I said without thinking.
"You might be that miracle darling!" she said with a bloody smile on her face. I tried to open my mouth to defend myself, yet I could not since the men were back into the room now handing our drinks to us.
"So Natalia, how has your father been doing?"
"Fine, he just gets older day by day!" I said nervously with a smile hoping that he would just back off.
"So is it just you?"
"Uh yes!" I said feeling very anxious until I felt Jace's presence next to me.
"She fights like her father I will have to add that as well.." I heard Jace say before his butler came to us to announce that the food is ready. I have never been so thankful to the butler in my life. We were taken to the dining room where the table was already prepared and awaiting us. I took a seat next to Jace across from his mother and father feeling a bit more relaxed than before.
"So it must be hard for your father now?"
"Excuse me?"
"Well, who will take his place in the future if he does not have a son?"
"Surly his daughter can take it or am I wrong darling?" his mother spoke before I could even say a single word thanking her silently.
"Bikers has different rules don't they?" he asked again with a raised brow.
"They are not that different from us father, the only thing that might differ is that they are a family where we believe it is better to live a secretive life!" Jace said then gave me a wink. Now I know why you should never have dinner with the f*****g Haunt's!
"How did the two of you meet Mrs. Haunt?" I asked trying to avoid another question from his father.
"Well, my dear I was his previous wife's sister and I hated my husband ever since I got married to him, but in time I fell head over heels for him.."
"The same here, she was the only woman who can smile even in time of death and I can not imagine waking up a morning without her in my life!"
"amor verdadero!" I said looking at the two love birds that were smiling at each other like crazy kids.
"You speak Spanish dear?" his mother asked me making me laugh at the question.
"Yes, my family is very strict on home language, especially my mother!"
"So you're a Spanish girl, I never knew Brice could speak Spanish at all!!"
"You should see him in poker, it's almost like Spanish come alive!"I said leaving everyone to laugh out loud. I felt a little bit better after that since Mr Haunt never asked any questions again which was perfect for me. After dinner, his mother and father wanted to leave and go home, but due to the weather, Jace had asked them to stay.
"You can stay in the cottage!"
Jace p.o.v
"I think our son has a point baby, now how about we call it a night?" my father said with a smile leaving my mother to greet Natalia while my father looked at me with different eyes.
"Good night Mrs. Haunt, it was really nice to meet you, and thank you for the dinner!" she said with a soft voice.
"Night mother, please note that the cottage is a few meters away so you can have fun!"
"Oh stop it Jace!" my mother said before I heard a phone ringing only to see who it was made me mad as hell. Natalia looked at her phone then back at us saying her goodnight then walked out of the room. I could not help but feel anger all over my body just for the plain fact that she was busy speaking to John in the next room.
"Emily baby, why don't you go to the car so long I just have to mention something to our son!"
"Fine, but don't take too long!" my mother said before she kissed my forehead and left the room.
"You know a wise man told me once something that I did not understand, but with time I learned the true meaning of it!"
"And what is that father?" I asked placing my hands in my pockets to listen more closely to him.
"That you will either die or you will lose everything for that woman!" his words came out more cold than I would expect but that is not my father no!
"Where is this coming from father?"
"I am not stupid son, I can see the way that you are looking at her, and don't get me started on the anger you had when her phone went crazy!" he said with a smile on his face almost like he knows my feelings.
"So there are two choices son, choose wisely!" he said before he left my house. I knew what he meant with every word that he had spoken off, but she was different? I walked closer to the room that she was in hearing her soft sarcastic voice.
"f**k you!" she said before she hunged up the call.
"Well, I see that you and my mother have a lot in common!" I said leaning against the wall.
"She is nice, listen thank you for the dinner it was lovely, but I need to get going!" she said standing up walking towards me.
"I am not taking you home nor are you taking a cab, there is a storm out there and it is not safe. I had already asked Hendry to prepare the spare bedroom!"
"Sir I had prepared the spare bedroom as requested!" the butler said leaving me stunned at what had just taken place.
"Hendry, do you mind showing me where the wine is?" I asked walking past both of them.
"Uh.."
"It is fine Hendry I got this!" I said following her to where ever she was heading.
"If you turn right then you will get the kitchen!" I said walking past her towards the kitchen.
"Bragging much!" she said as she walked into the kitchen with a serious face. I took out some wine glasses throwing us some wine while she stood next to me. I handed her the glass with a smirk.
"So your parents seem nice, so where did an ass like you get out?"
"An ass?" I said with a smirk leaving her to glare at me.
"You are a bastard you know that, for making me stay here and play house with you!"
"Would you prefer John rather?" I said with a demanding voice leaving her to cuss me even more. I grabbed her by her tight ass placing her on the kitchen counter.
"f**k you, baby, I did that a while ago and if I remember correctly you screamed of the pleasure didn't you?"
