The Mafia & The Billionaire

Alex’s POV

Serene has started to feel comfortable with me physically. Our little make-out in our bedroom was proof, and if I had not stopped, we would have gone all the way. But I had to slow down because I knew that what I was experiencing was new to her. I found her in the garden, and I decided to ask her about what had happened to her hearing. She was really smart and had a lot of resources.

We began eating as soon as our food arrived, and gosh, she looked seductive while she was eating. She sat in an Indian seat, wearing a t-shirt and shorts, holding a burger in her right hand and fries in her left. She was licking the cheese powder that remained on her fingers, a gesture that made me want to become her fingers.

“So, when are your parents going to visit here?” she asked before she took a bite of her burger.

“I don’t know yet; Mom just told me that she wanted to meet you already,” I replied, and she nodded her head. “Are you not feeling worried?” I asked.

“No, why would I?” she asked in response.

“Normally, daughters-in-law feel scared, if not intimidated, by their mothers-in-law.”

“I see. I don’t feel anything, though. I am not excited either.”

“I might feel nervous when I meet your grandparents,” I told her, and she looked at me, confused. “I just thought that you grew up with them, so you’re very close to them, and they love you so much. They are protective of you and wouldn’t want to put you in any harm, hurt, or pain.” I continued.

“That’s odd,” she said, and now I am the one who is confused. “They put me in so much pain and gave me stress the whole time. I think I had to tell them that,” she added, and then I laughed. Her grandparents loved her so much because of the way she said that; her eyes were sparkling, which meant that she loved them so much as well.

“You’re like a child; did you know that?” I asked,

“Yes, I like to act like a child. That’s what they let me do from time to time. I can act childishly in front of Enzo and Patt as well, but not with the others. I wanted to show them that I am tough, although I take care of everyone like family,” she replied.

“Now, how many boyfriends did you have before we got married?” I know that she has never been intimate with any man, but I still want to hear that from her.

“None,” she replied, and I smiled internally. “Though I asked someone to give me a child,” she continued, which widened my eyes. I never thought that she was that bold as to ask someone for that.

“He didn’t want to?”

“He wanted to, but something happened, so grandma called me when we were there, you know. So it never happened anymore, and I left him and never showed my face to him anymore.”

“Why do you want a child?”

“Not me. My grandparents wanted to have great-grandchildren, so I was planning on giving them that. I thought that they were old and might die, so I wanted to make them happy,” she replied casually.

“Is it that simple for you? “Didn’t you like the man you asked to give you a child?”

“He is the kindest person I have ever known,” she replied, and that puzzled me. “Enough now; why don’t you spend your money and look into me instead?” she asked.

“Why would I waste my money if I could get the answers straight from you?” I asked in return, continued eating, and saw her shake her head. “Are you not going to ask me about my previous women?”

“No, Patt already told me.”

“You really had me investigated?”

“That’s what I asked Patt to do, but he said that there’s no need to dig deeper when it comes to that department because your affairs are an open book.”

“And what can you say about that?”

“You must have learned from those affairs how to tease women, the way you were doing to me.” She’s really straightforward.

“And did my teasing affect you?” I still asked, and I saw her face turn red again.

“Do you have to ask?” I know that I don’t need to, but I want to flirt with her, so I should insist.

“Yes, because I want to know,” I replied, which made her eyes roll.

“If you are done eating, bring all of this to the kitchen,” she said, and she got up. I guess it was the only thing she could do to avoid me. I got up and prepared to follow her, but she stopped abruptly and repeated her words.

“Get those up and bring them to the kitchen,” she said again, pointing to the food tray that was now empty. I sighed and decided to do as she said. I guess she’s the kind of person who doesn’t rely on maids.

***

A week after our little make-out, we managed to do it again from time to time while we were together. Just like earlier, before I went to work, we shared a more passionate and intimate kiss than we’d ever done. I had her pinned to our bedroom door when I lifted her without breaking our kiss. Her legs were wrapped around my waist, and my length was so hard that it wanted to unzip my pants on its own.

I pressed myself even more, and she grinds herself to me. My hands had been too playful, and I couldn’t stop them from roaming around. I ended up inside her pajamas and found her so wet for me. The man that she asked to give her a child came to mind, and I started thinking about how far they’d go before her grandma called her.

With that thought, I tried to pleasure her with my finger as we continued our torrid kiss, which stopped for a while but got back together after we caught our breath. Her moan in my mouth every time I brushed her clit with my finger was so sexy. Until I made her cum and screamed my name into my mouth,

“How do you like that, honey?” I asked, grinning after. She was breathing heavily, as was I, and I never thought that I would be able to make a woman cum with just my finger. I saw how satisfied she was. I was so delighted as I saw how red her face was out of embarrassment. She didn’t respond to my question and instead turned away from me, saying,

“I gotta clean up.” I was all smiles and nodding.

My hand was on the doorknob, ready to open the door, but she stopped me. “Are you not going to wash your hands first?” she asked.

“Hell no!” I replied, which made her eyes widen. Then I raised my hand and showed her my finger that had worked on her a while ago, then licked it.

“Alex!!!” she exclaimed and went to the bathroom as I laughed and left for work.

I was on the moon the whole time I worked, thinking about how shy she was. I wonder if she will get over it and if she will be able to talk to me. “Sir, Cliff is here,” Von said over the intercom.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“Let him in,” I replied.

“Sir,” he greeted me, and I motioned for him to sit in front of me. He handed me an envelope, so I took it and looked at what was inside. It was a copy of the will that Serene’s mother left.

“So the reason for Lorenzo’s hesitation to marry Daisy was because of the company as well,” I spoke, and he nodded. “How did he know about this?” I asked. Lorenzo wouldn’t be able to know about the will because Serene had to get married first before the attorney could read it in front of them.

“He had paid someone who worked for the attorney that was holding the will.” Cliff replied, “But he was already fired because the attorney found out about it.”

“Serene’s mother was a smartass,” I said,

“She knew about Lorenzo’s infidelity, and I don’t think he was also Madam’s biological father.” He said, and I looked at him, “Ms. Portico loved someone else.” His addition piqued my curiosity, so I allowed him to continue. “Madam’s mother never used Lorenzo’s name. She was known as a Portico in the business world,” he continued, and I nodded.

“Ms. Portico had an affair with a rich businessman who died before they got married. The businessman loves Ms. Portico so much that he transferred all his assets to her even before they scheduled their marriage. The night that Ms. Portico ends up in a room with Lorenzo, which causes them to get married, was planned by Lorenzo himself.”

“What did Lorenzo do for a living before they got married?” I asked. I think Von handed me a report about that, but I just ignored it because I only wanted to know about my wife at that time.

“He’s nothing. His family disowned him due to his foolish decision to make a deal with a fraudster, which resulted in significant financial losses. His father had to go to jail for that in his stead. He was already in a relationship with Daisy at that time and already had Mavie. He wanted to marry her, but Daisy insisted on him marrying a rich woman so they wouldn’t have to suffer poverty,” he answered. If he were not Serene’s father, then I guess she would have been very happy because she didn’t need to hold back her anger towards him anymore.

“I guess Lorenzo knew that Madam was not his, either.”

“How did Lorenzo manage to keep the company steady if he was such an idiot?” I asked,

“Ms. Portico had her people working there,” he replied.

“Her people?”

“Her people are in their organization. The Portico Region was named after their family. When a communist party attempted to govern the region, the Portico family and their people assisted the government in combating and capturing the communists. And the Portico region became what it is today.”

“And what is the Portico Region today?” I asked,

“It is called the “shark” now. You know, silent but deadly.” He replied, “Many thought that it was in the countryside and that people who lived there were ignorant and poor. But that’s not all true. The region is the wealthiest now, and I know that you knew that, sir,” he added, and I nodded. That was the reason I went there a few months ago.

“When will the attorney call for a meeting to read the will? I asked.

“When everything is settled with Madam, and I think that is going to be soon,” he replied,

“Thank you; your report is good. I will get to know my wife more by that.” I said, and he got up from his seat. “Continue your investigation, especially the reason for Ms. Portico’s death,” I said before he left.

I believe that some, if not all, of the information Cliff shared with me has now reached Serene. I just hope that she will ask me for help so I can be by her side in all her battles. Then my phone rang.

“Mom..”

“I am not going to wait anymore. Visit us with your wife this weekend,” she said and hung up. I guess my old woman is getting pissed and curious at the same time. I guess it was time for Serene to meet her in-laws too, and we both know that it was inevitable.
