"Wait, what did you just say about Venessa?"
"You know for a mafia king, you sure know little about your friend!"
"I thought he hated woman.."
"What, after his wife, he decided to turn rogue and f**k anything and anyone that he could get hold of!"
"Well, his wife did screw him over at the end of the day!" I said taking a clean shot of tequila.
"Yeah well he was hanging out with you, the famous mafia king wasn't he?"
"Oh, so now I am to blame for his s**t?"
"No maybe half of it tho, so tell me what did he do to you that is so bad?"
"f****d me over and I would just like to make sure that there is not going to be a second time!"
"Mickey screwed me over and I have not decided to have his head yet?"
"Well he did not steal from you nor sold you out to the cops did he?" I said feeling the anger rising from the inside of what that bastard had done to me.
"So you're going to make him pay?"
"Something like that sweetheart, now tell me why would he be so interested in whom am I dating?" I asked rather curious of her words a few minutes ago.
"He has an obsession with me, now I don't know why yet.."
"Yet?"
"I just need a moment with him before you take him if we find the bastard anyway!" she said finishing her drink that she had. Her eyes looked right into mine and for some odd reason, I knew that this girl was hiding something from me and if my guts were right it was not just from me, but others as well.
Natalia was going to be the end of me if she decides to stay longer in town, which I will make sure of. I need her in my life she is the only woman that I have ever met that made my demons feel alive leaving me to feel alive more than ever.
"Let's get out of this place, I need to show you something!"
"What is it a present?"
"Maybe!"
Natalia p.o.v
He looked into my eyes and for a moment I felt at home like no one could take me away from him. I just hoped that after this he would let me go. I took his hand that was being held out to me and I could feel the sparks shoot through my entire body. The feel of excitement had hit me deep almost causing me to leave a moan. I took my hand out of his hand only to be pulled back right into his hand once again.
"Remember that they're watching us love!" he whispered into my ear sending even more heatwaves down my body. I really hated the way he made me feel. We walked out of the place heading straight for his car. Once I got in I felt relieved since I was no longer so close to him anymore. He got into the car driving off to a huge ass of an estate. I really was hoping that this would not be his house, but like always life shows me the middle f*****g finger. He stopped at the big gates that let us enter not long before we were greeted by a huge mansion. I only came back to earth when my door went open.
"You look surprised love!" he said as he opened the door for me.
"It is..."
"Breathtaking?"
"Yes!" I said keeping my eyes on the most beautiful view that I have ever seen before. So this is where the mafia king sleeps! Finally, his headquarters is revealed.
"Not as breathtaking as you love, come I need to show you something!" he said taking my hand leading me into his mansion. The inside looked just as pretty as the outside of the mansion. There were long white halls with silver chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. I was lost in the art that was on the ceiling, it reminded me of those old movies of the roman times or angels that will be painted on the ceilings, yet in this case, it was the greek gods that were painted on the ceiling.
"Welcome back Mr Haunt!" I heard a friendly voice say from behind us. I turned around to be greeted by his personal butler.
"Hi Hendry, can you please cancel all of my appointments for today!" he said with a demanding voice leaving the butler to agree to his words.
"Of course sir!" he said before I got pulled into a direction that led us into a huge office with bookshelves from left to right.
"Lover reading much?" I said sarcastically since there were books in every bloody shelf.
"Maybe, but I did not bring you here so that we can talk about my books did I?" he said taking a seat behind his big ass desk with a smirk
"Well, then why the f**k am I here Haunt?" I asked irritated by his voice. I took a seat on one of the chairs in front of his desk meeting his entire burning eyes.
"To show you this!" he said handing me a folder of Logan. I could feel how my stomach was busy turning just by hearing his name.
I opened the folder and saw photos of him with a few reports as well, but there was one that grabbed my attention the moment I saw it. It was a photo of my father and Logan..
"That was taken years ago Natalia, but I need to know one thing.."
"If the Death Crows will take his side if a war breaks out!" I said standing up walking toward the window that was huge and looking out on a perfect landscape.
"Your smart, so why lie?"
"I want him dead as much as you want him dead Jace!"
"Still that does not answer my question love!"
"You should ask that question to my father since he is the president of Death Crows!" I said about to turn around when I heard his footsteps coming closer to me.
"I should, but I know leadership when I see it!"
"What the hell are you talking about?"I asked with a raised voice.
"The Crows will follow your move before they will go against you dear!" he said taking a step closer to me. He was so close to me that I could smell his heavenly scent.
"You're an asshole if you think for one second that I will turn against my own father!"
"That is not what I was implementing love!"
"Oh then please tell me what the f**k is your point here?" I said only to be pushed back up against the window. His hands were on my hips stopping me from going anywhere. He leaned in to whisper into my ears.
"You should really watch your tone with me love!"
"Oh, what will you, kill me?" I asked, hoping that it would strike a nerve only to feel his body closer to mine.
"No one gets to kill you love!" he said before his lips crashed onto mine leaving me to give in to him. The urge was there more than it was before. He pulled away when he heard a knock that came from the office door. He gave me a smirk and said that we will continue this conversation later like he really was hoping that I was going to talk to him later! The butler came in only to announce that Jace had some visitors.
"Who is here Hendry?" he said seeing how tensed up he got from the moment the butler walked through the door.
"It is your parents, Mr Haunt!" he said before he bowed his head.
"f**k, I had forgotten!"
"That is my cue, if you would excuse me I have to leave!" I said, moving as fast as I could pass Jace and the butler, only to be met by two people. This must have been his parents that were standing right in front of me. Just f*****g great! We must have been standing there for a few seconds just staring at each other before I decided to open my mouth.
"Mr and Mrs Haunt what a lovely surprise to meet the both of you, but if you would excuse me, I have to attend to some business!" I said with a smile on my face until I felt a presence next to me.
"Would you like to join us for dinner dear?" his mother asked with a sweet tone, making me feel bad for saying no, but I had no choice. Never in my life was I going to have dinner with Jace's parents! The idea is just f*****g insane!
"I am sure that that business can wait for another hour or two?" Jace said with a corky smirk, leaving me to glare at him before I looked back to his parents.
"Unfortunately, I must.." I was about to finish my sentence when Jace's father interrupted me.
"There is a storm coming. Why not stay until it has passed?"
"Dinner sounds nice!" I said with a smile before I looked back to Jace knowing that this was going to be one hell of a dinner!
