Sold To The Mafia Don Chapter 8 ~ Jace

I never kissed anyone. I wondered if she was taken aback by that. But then it did not matter. She would get used to it.

When I asked my mother to teach how her to be my wife, I did not expect her to send Mira to combat training. She did not need any of that. All she needed was to sit pretty and be a trophy wife. Make my als, satisfy my sexual desires and maybe have my heirs in future. She would help plan and host my parties. Everything a perfect wife would do. I did not need a woman who had to protect herself. I could do all of that. It was my responsibility.

My phone rang just then, I had to leave again. I thought the work day had ended but there was a slight ergency that needed , according to Tomas. Pulling out a drawer, I picked up one of my pistols and put it in my back pocket.

I was out the door before Mira could finish dressing up. We’d finish what we started later.

My guards were on alert as soon as I walked out. I got into my car and sped off to one of the warehouses where I was needed - the abandoned one. Yes, it was torture ti.

It was dangerous to want to be enemy and whoever that fly was would figure it out. I would typically have let my boys handle it but this one piqued my interest in the sa way Mira’s case did. I was curious.

It was a spy from a small rival mafia group. I needed to see who their spy was. Lowkey, I was fascinated by how much courage they had, knowing I could erase their existence in the snap of a finger.

The drive was over and hour long. The place was on the other side of town and there was quite a bit of traffic.

I got there and stord in.

"Where is he?"

"Don," Tomas said, handing my cigar. "It’s a she."

I paused and stared at him.

"They sent a woman?" I asked again just to be sure.

"Precisely," he nodded.

I almost let out a laugh. I was that amused. It was no surprise she was caught on ti.

She was tied down and on her knees and was wet. The leather outfit she wore clung to her skin and her curls were wet. When the blindfold was removed and my eyes looked into hers, I saw very seductive eyes. She got on her feet after I told them to loosen her and the curves I saw were massive. This was definitely intentional.

"What’s your na?" I asked.

She was quiet.

"Answer the question," I maintained calmly.

"Tia," She responded.

"Who sent you?"

"I cannot disclose that to you."

"I see you’re begging for death. We already know where you are from. You can’t play gas." I spat out gruffly.

"If you knew, you would not be asking that."

I took out my gun and aid it at her leg. She was testing and I hated it. The only person allowed to do that was my woman and even she had not tried that yet.

"I’ll shoot you now and have your body incinerated. Dare ." I said in a deathly tone. I saw a shift in her posture and knew I got her there.

"Alonzo sent ,"

"Alonzo?"

I laughed humorlessly. That puny rat sent a woman to try and seduce ?

I’d pretend I have taken his bait.

"Keep her here. She’s one of us now." I announced to everyone in the room. "I’d let you know where to assign her."

I got on my feet and walked out of there.

"She’s hot. I’m surprised you didn’t make a move," Tomas said as we walked to my car.

"I just got married. It’s way too early to show my true colors to my wife." I replied him with a chuckle.

"Falling in love so soon?" He teased.

"There’s no such thing as love in our world my brother. There’s duty, power and great pleasure."

"Hmm. If you say so,"

He sounded like he did not believe but I did not care. I had no business falling for any woman. I was going to do all the duties as a husband - provide, protect and of course give leg shaking orgasms. Asides that, there was nothing more to do.

"I want Tia to work closely with . I need to keep a close eye on her."

"Don’t tell you want to fuck your wife and mistress under the sa roof?"

"Who said anything about that?" I asked with raised brow.

"I see the look in your eye Jace. I know you."

I chuckled. "Nothing wrong with a threeso, don’t you think?"

He laughed. " I have nothing to say to you."

Leaving that place, I found out for my ’day job’ assistant that I had a eting with the board of the construction company I inherited from my father. As the CEO, I had to be there and knowing how these people could be, I was sure the eting was going to take a lot of ti.

I stopped the car and switched places with Tomas. He was the only one I trusted to drive . I needed to switch up my outfit. Taking off the leather jacket and black shirt underneath, I picked up my drycleaned crisp white shirt and put it on as well as the slacks. I wore them and tucked my shirt into my pants. Then I picked up my cologne and sprayed so. After that I was good to go. I fit the part of the CEO well enough.

I kept my gun in the pigeon hole of my vehicle. Tomas was going to follow in as security.

The rest of my guards were allowed to go back ho as we did not want to attract any attention.

We went into the building through the underground parking lot with the private elevator. I buttoned my shirt up to look more professional, I looked at Tomas and he nodded in approval. I looked sharp.

"Good day gentlen." I said as I walked into the conference room.

We exchanged pleasantries and the eting started properly.

I sat the head of the table.

Mr Ellis was the first to speak up. "The business is really thriving Mr Romano," he started off.

I nodded knowing there was a but.

"But..."

There it was. I fought back a smirk.

"The numbers are skyrocketing and not exactly adding up according to the auditors. So of the shipnt in warehouse three raised so internal flags. It’s nothing serious we are just concerned."

I could sll their suspicion from a mile away. They were too afraid to accuse outrightly of doing so shady stuff behind the scenes.

"Mr Ellis, the shipnt was rerouted under a different contract and it will be sorted out soonest." I said blankly.

There was still so murmuring.

"Does anyone have sothing to say?" I asked, letting my voice thunder over the murmurs.

"There are so speculations about the genuineness of your wealth Mr Romano and we’re afraid it could taint us too." Evan, a young and dumb board mber spoke up.

My glare at him was so hard, I saw his hands shake as he took a gulp of water.

"Speculations are for tabloids Evan, we deal in facts here."

I picked up my glass of water and took a slow slip as they watched closely.

"Now, unless you or anyone else in this table has evidence that Navarro Infrastructure is operating outside the law... I suggest we keep our discussions focused on construction."

My eyes locked with Evan before I continued. "I’d hate for your na to end up next to mine in those speculative stories."

I watched him swallow understanding my threat.

"eting adjourned," I said to dismiss them as I walked out of the conference room.

That would teach them not to ss with .
