Devil's vow

Chapter 15: Dilemma

Tartarus

American Mafia

U.S.A

The royal blue falcon shining like liquid silver was imparched as an insignia on a letter delivered to the

Tartarus- headquarters of American mafia.

In this age of technology and advancement it was an element of surprise for them, that who was so old-

school and laid back to give a piece of paper which could definitely be traced back.

Either the person was brave or a definite fool to do that.

After testifying it through more than twenty security posts, finally it was in the hands of the American

Mafia Commander- Julian Romanov.

Twirling the letter in his hands his eyes landed on the seal- the falcon and his posture became rigid.

Turning towards his right-a gigantic tech screen was covering the entire wall.

Opening the letter, he could make out four words written on a fully blank paper otherwise making his

stone cold heart to beat erratically.

'THE FEAST HAS BEGUN.'

He set his office screen to connect to the various subquarters of his army residing throughout the

continent, connecting to the various mafia leaders.

"Keep your soilders ready, Ajax Waylon has reached Russia."

Alaina's pov

"Hey! Ace, thank god! you are finally here, where are Ryan and Tyler? I thought you won't show up."

my eyebrows furrowed in confusion when he handed me a wooden basket.

Currently I was leaning against the main gate of the mansion opening it to let him in.

He stepped aside and passed me making a beeline to couch. "Boy! where are you going?"

He put his hand up after sprawling on the couch telling to stop my interrogation."Let me breath woman,

those are strawberries and the Ryan and Tyler have some important work so they are at their

respective homes." I didn't knew about their homes so I made a mental note to ask him later.

"Where is your family?" He asked observing that nobody was home.

"They all are out for a business party and me- I am grounded" I told him whining and pouting.

"We have it all for ourselves Ace, what do you suggest" I asked as an after thought gaining some

seriousness.

"Whole mansion to ourselves....it can be so much fun Alaina, tell me if I am wrong" he walked swiftly,

coming in front of me, his body towering mine but instead of stopping, his steps didn't halted for a

second ,backing me off, towards the wall. "A-Ace" I breathed out .

"Also Laina...." his finger traced the strand of hair on my bare shoulder. His voice had gotten all rich

and masculine- so sexily breathless. "...bad girls get punished." My back hit the wall with a soft thud,

my eyes widening while my breathing became rapid.

His body engulfed mine, just an inch of distance- orange and cinnamon, his smell was the same which

had drowned me into a ditzy feeling each night, I was hallucinating surely, Ace couldn't be that green

eyed angel or....could he be?

"se eu pudesse, eu te mostraria seu lugar menina ..... no meu colo e no meu coração. Você é um bebê

tão demônio ...... absolutamente pecador.....porra linda"

(if i could, i would have shown you your place little girl.....on my lap and in my heart. You are such a

devil baby...... absolutely sinning...fucking beautiful.)

I closed my eyes to that, it sounded almost primal, wild even. His finger which was tracing my skin

stopped abruptly.

He backed away suddenly disrupting my insane thoughts.

"Come on what are you thinking, let's watch movies...... if you don't mind please lead the way" he

maintained a huge distance, turning his body away from me. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

God! What had just happened?

............................................

This boy! I swear to lord he was keen to make me lose my damn mind. I wanted to watch a science

fiction or a romantic movie, Disney would be good too. No but right now we were watching 'The

Exorcist'.

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't afraid or anything- "Ahhhhh.....ACEE" I screeched, when a terrifying

scene appeared on the screen, ok I was afraid of it, it will gave me nightmares.

Strong arms wrapped around me, engulfing me in their warmth. I heard the click of the television and

the screen went black.

"You could have told me you didn't liked it Alaina "I just nodded my head, moving out of his hold. I didn't

want to admit but I liked it there, his arms providing me security. I shook my head, get a grip Laina.

"It's getting late, I should probably go." his words made me fiddle my fingers, I don't want to be alone

but I was too proud to ask him to stay.

"Ok! Let me help you out." and with that I walked him to the front door.

"Is there anything you want?" he asked me, maybe he sensed my discomfort.

"I will be fine." I said in an assuring tone and bit my lip.

He nodded and turned around.

.......................................

Ajax watched as she nervously closed the door. He shouldn't stay, he must remember she didn't need

him, that beautiful angel was a warrior, more than capable to look after herself.

He sighed, he could be the 'ruthless him' another time, but right now his legs moved on their own

accord knocking the door again.

"Oh! did you forget something." he saw a flicker of hope inside her eyes.

"It's very late, can I stay tonight." she nodded leading him inside, towards the room beside her.

"Can I please take the couch in your room bebê?" ( Babygirl)

"You can take the bed, the couch is very small, it would be extremely uncomfortable..... I insist Ace." he

smiled in thankfulness.

*********************

He saw her as the time passed, sleeping peacefully on the couch, her creamy skin glowing like that of

a falling star. Her legs were curled in fetus position.

She was uncomfortable. That thought didn't suited him, a tug in his stone heart, what was this little

vixen doing to him?

He stood in front of the couch scooping her in his arms close to his chest with utmost delicacy, so she

didn't wakeup.

Walking to the bed he laid her carefully, wrapping her in a soft fur comforter while he took the other side

maintaining a respectful distance but she had other thoughts.

She curled up to him ,her head resting on his chest while practically her whole body laid atop of him.

Her hands wrapped around his neck, lips releasing a single incoherent sentence but he heard it "I

thought you wouldn't come."
