FREYAI alighted from the car in which Kate had drove me to the airport. Kate alighted from the car as well, and came to the back of the car where I was getting my suitcases. She reached for one of the suitcases, but I pulled it out of her reach. " I've got it, Mom," I gave her a warning look, knowing she would reach for it again. " Are you sure you can handle opening a branch over there all by yourself?" she asked for the umpteenth time. " At least take Jack with you, he's been with us for a long time. He will be quite helpful."I turn to Kate a frown on my face, and my arms folded across my chest. " You know, mom, at first, I thought you were just worried about me. But now..." I shake my head. " I'm beginning to think you just don't trust me at all," I accused. " Of course, I do, baby," she soothed. " I'm just worried. Things could get overwhelming."I place my hands on her shoulders. "Mom, I already have some people over there who would help in one thing or the other..." Mostly
FREYA" Ma'am, someone made a delivery to you," my personal assistance tells me as I walk into my office. I signal for her to wait a moment as I was on call. She nods, a big brown envelope in her hand. Once I was done with the call, I turn my attention to her, a smile on my face. " Yes, dear, what we're you saying?" I ask her. She drops the envelope on my table. " This was delivered this morning to you anonymously. The delivery man said its the information you paid for," she explains. My eyes widens. " Really?"She nods in reply and I reach for the brown envelope immediately. Finally. I was beginning to think that they couldn't get any information for me. The mafia are known for being very secretive, after all. They had all this businesses in place to cover their illegal acts. " Thank you, Sarah," I said in a dismissing tone. She got the message and left my voice. I tore the envelope open, and brought out the stuffs inside it. I scan one document after another, my eyes narrowing
FREYA I stood in front of my dresser's mirror, in the condon I had bought after a got here. Jiel came over once in while to stay with me, but since I started infiltrating the mafia world, I told her to stay away. I didn't want to drag into this, and also, she would only become a weakness, a way to get to me - which one of the reason I didn't want anyone from Texas, coming with me. I was walking into a war zone and in this war zone, they don't fight fair. It's a bloody dirty fight, one I'm determined to win. I stare at myself in the mirror, running my hands over the fabric of the gown I was wearing. I looked hot in this, if I would say so myself. The gown is mid thigh long, and had a plunging neckline. The sleeves are long, ending with funnel shaped cuffs that had some shiny stuffs on it. The gown clinged to my body like a second skin, showing off my curves. I had white heels on, with it's leg binding wrappping all around my shapely leg, up.to my calf. I twirl in front of the mirr
FREYA I had been all over Jaxton. I had enjoyed Jaxton's hands on me. I had even been contemplating dragging him off to a room and having a quickie with him. " Hey, are you okay?" His voice, laced with concern snapped me out of the trance I had fallen into. I came back to my senses only to realize that we were still only inches apart from each other, that my hand was still under his trousers and still gripping his dick. My hand moved reflexively, clenching a bit around his dick. He groaned, and I immediately withdrew my hand from under his waistband, moving away from him. This had been part of the plan; seducing Jaxton and making him crazy about me, but never giving him what he wants. I should actually be happy about this coincidence, but I just realized that It's going to be hard to keep from allowing him to fuck my brains out. Why was he so gentle, less domineering just now?He took a step forward, and I took one back. I frown when he stops. Why isn't he going for what he wan
FREYA" Where were you last night?" I asked, leveling a look on my driver through the side view mirror. His eyes meets mine, and skides away once again. I watch him.I frown. " Did you get drunk?" he looked like someone that was nursing a headache from drinking, just as I was. " I'm sorry, Freya, I was....""Did you take drugs for the headache?" I ask interrupting him. He shakes his head, wincing. " Stop at a drug store on your way to the office and buy one," I instructed, turning my attention to my tablet. On getting to the office, I alight from the car and told him he could have the rest of the day off. " Are you sure, Freya? I can..."I glare at him. " I said take the rest of the day off, I don't need you looking all groggy around me," I said firmly. " I won't be leaving the office until it's time to go home, and i'm pretty sure I won't die if I drive myself for a day, now would I?"He smiles, and I smile back. " Glad we understand each other. Now, off you go."I take my car key
The sound of the gunshot shattered the glass wall as well as the quietness of the suite, and I froze in terror, not knowing what to do. Where was the gun shots coming from? Who was firing the shots to start with?"Take cover!" I heard Zain order in a commanding voice. He hide behind a pillar in my sitting room, shielding himself from the gunshots. "Where the fuck is the shots coming from?" He hollered in frustration at his men, as the gunshots kept coming with no interlude. The stampede for safety and the shouts as Zain and his men communicated with each other snapped me out of my reverie. I hurled myself behind the couch closest to me, and then, I tried to peek from behind the couch to see where the shots were coming from. A ear piercing scream left my lips as a bullet wheezed pass me and imbibed itself on the wall behind me. I dodged back behind the couch, my heart going a thousand miles. "It's a sniper!" One of Zain's men shouted. " He's on the rooftop of the building opposite,
" Fine! We have a business contract."I froze to the ground where I was standing. I blink once, twice, still trying to wrap my head around the fact that instead of taking me with him by force - which he could have easily done by himself, talk more of when he has four able-bodied men with him - he had tried to negotiate instead. Slowly I turned to face him fully aware that my face carries my distrust of his words. I search his face with my eyes, wondering why exactly everything he does and say contradicts the Jaxton that I remember. "My men wouldn't be able to hold Zain back for long; I'm pretty sure they are on their way down right now," Jaxton said, walking towards me. " We need to move and now!"I raised an eyebrow at him, trying not to think of Zain making his way here. I guess the sniper Zain and his men are battling upstairs are Jaxton's men. "And why should I believe anything that you just said?" I crossed my arms over my chest.Before he could answer my question, the elevator
It's been a few minutes since Jaxton drove out of the garage of the hotel I'm staying at, or maybe an hour. He drove around the city for a long while, trying to make sure that he lost any tail. I could tell from the way he was weaving through the traffic and the communication between him and his men. I place my head against the window, watching the city pass by. At first when Jaxton had started his drive around the city, I had cursed, screamed - anything to get him to let me off. He had continued on, acting as if no one was in the car with him, talk more of a screaming banshee. That was literally what I turned into. I was calm now, though, more because I was tired of screaming than because I decided not to scream anymore. I watch as the remote trail turned once again into the bustling city center." Are we clear?" Jaxton asked. He had a covert earpiece on, with which he communicates with his men. They must have given him a reply, because he nods and soon we were diverting to the ri
