7 Chapter 8

~Victoria's POV

I walk over to where everyone is and take a seat on the same sofa as Xavior. I'm waiting for Xavior to answer. Jessica speaks up. "So? Who is she? Because according to the tabs, you have been in a relationship with her for months?"

I sit there in shock as I look at my best friend for knowing all of this information.

Xavior speaks up to everyone "The whole situation with Amber was business only, our fathers thought that it would be best for our company if we merged two powerful names together. There was never love, just lust for power, but I was never interested in it because my heart belonged to someone else"

He turns his head towards me at the last sentence and winks, I look down to hid my smile, but I'm sure everyone saw it.

My mom gets up and speaks "I'm going to lie down, Xavior please stay over for dinner, I'd love to get to know you more" she smiles

My mom leaves the room and Jessica speaks up again, but this time, it's directed at me. "You know Victoria, this man" she says pointing to Xavior. "I don't think that you want to be fooling around with him, he sends off dangerous vibes and I'm pretty sure you feel it to."

"I know, I believe that his family belongs to mafias" Xavior's head shoots up to me. "How'd you know?" he asks me. I look up at him. "My father's journals."

Both Jessica and Xavior looks at me with interest as they lean in as if I'm about to tell a huge secret.

All eyes are focused on me as they wait for me to explain what I had just said. "Four years ago, I was looking through my father's things, just to remind me that he was still with me. I found a book when I was searching through the boxes."

"I read through it and saw your family as well as many others names in the book. It explained how mafias worked, what your family did and who was the next "heir to the throne". There where a few pages torn out of the book, but the only names I remembered are the Clark's and the Knights. "

I look to Xavior and see that he's deep in thought. I look to Jessica and see that she is shocked. " I didn't tell anyone about the book because I was scared that someone might try and hurt me for it, the whole shooting five years ago was apparently caused by the knights, I never told a soul about it until today. I wanted to forget about it so I buried the book and I can't remember where it is. "

Xavior speaks up after a couple of seconds " I just don't understand how your father had the capability to contain such information. What did your father do for a living? "

I try to remember what he did but I couldn't." I don't know exactly what he did because he never spoke about his job, all I know is that he said it was very boring and that it would put me to sleep if he ever had to speak about his work."

I say in all honesty, Jessica speaks up. "All of this is just fucked up, Victoria, you really don't wanna get mixed up in all this business."

Xavior looks angrily at Jess. "What's that supposed to mean? You don't think I can protect her?" I see his nose flare up in anger, he's gritting his teeth so hard it's almost painful to watch.

I see Jessica shrink in fear. I move closer to Xavior and put my hand on his arm to help calm him down. He calms down immediately after. I feel so much power in the moment.

I look at him and tell him it's alright. He speaks up again in a calm manner but I can tell that he's still angry. "You are going to move in with me and that's final." he states standing up.

I look at him in disbelief, I stand up to, but I have to look up since he's incredibly tall. "You cannot force me to move in with you! I barely even know you!" I say shocked.

"Jessica leave" he says without looking at her. She looks between us in conflict, probably thinking if she should leave or not. I reassure her that I'll be fine and that she can go. She leaves the living room, and now Xavior and I are having a stare off.

"Don't make me repeat myself." he says moving closer. I move back to create some distance, he's angry at my movements and grabs me.

He holds me close to his body, I gasp at the sudden action. "I will give you three days to move in with me, and if you don't." he leans in to my ear. " I'll bend you over my lap and spank you until you do. Do you understand me?" he asks dangerously low.

My heart is racing at what he just told me. I look up to his face and almost drown in his eyes. I break contact when his phone begins to ring. He let's go of me and picks up the phone

"What do you want." I hear another man's voice on the phone, but I can't understand what he is saying. "I'm on my way" he ends the call and puts the phone back in his pocket.

"There's a situation back at home that I need to take care off. I'll see you in three days, tell your mother you're moving in with me and tell her I apologize that I will not make it for dinner."

Before I can say anything, he walks out the living room to the front door.

He turns around and looks at me. He seems to be having an internal battle with himself. In a flash his right in front of me, before I could process what is happening, he grabs my face and kisses me.

I'm shocked at first, but I move my lips with his, I forget about our fight a few seconds ago. His lips are so soft and it meshes so well with mine. He takes my lower lip in his mouth and sucks on it, I moan in his mouth. When I hear my moan I break the kiss.

I look down and feel a blush makes its way onto my face. I hear him chuckle, it's so deep and rich. He grabs my face and pecks me one more time then leaves.

I stand on the same spot for a couple of minutes. Jessica returns to the living room and demands what happened after she left.

I inform her on everything, except the part where he man handled me. She's shocked at the fact that I'm being forced to move in with a dangerous stranger. "You cannot move in with him, what will happen if you get caught up in his business and get hurt?"

Her voice drips with concern and I can't help but worry for my own safety. But If I refuse, I'd have to deal with Xavior's fury and I wasn't strong enough to handle it. I look down at my hands and let out a long sigh.

I speak up after a few minutes. "You cannot tell my mother about any of this. I don't want her caught up in this." Jessica looks at me with understanding. We both begin to prepare dinner, but my mind is focused on how I'm going to tell my mom that I'm forced to move with someone potentially dangerous to our lives.

*Later that night*

"Mom! Dinner's ready!" I yell from the kitchen. I hear her make her way to the kitchen. I see her looking around the room. "Where's Xavior?" She asks looking around the room again.

"Xavior had to leave, there was a situation at work that he needed to attend to." I tell my mother, she looks at me with understanding.

We all sit around the table and eat the dinner Jess and I prepared. I'm the first to speak. "Mom?" I grab her attention, she looks up at me. "Yes sweetheart?" she places her fork down and turns her body to me.

"What did dad do for a living" by now, Jessica stopped eating so that she could pay attention. My mother looks at me and folds her hands on the table. "Your father was a personal assistant at a company, why?"

I sigh in relief that my father wasn't part of the mafia, but it still didn't explain how he got such information. "I just wondered." I say and continue to eat my dinner. My mother continues then Jessica.

"How long are you staying mom?" I ask her she looks up again at me. "I'm leaving Sunday, I can't stay here forever." she laughed to herself and we join her.

Jessica speaks up. " Victoria, remember Jason? The guy I have been seeing for months?" I look at her with confusion because as far as I know, she's single. She gives me a 'play along' look.

" Yeah? What about him?" I ask unsure of what she's trying to do. By now my mom has also turned her attention away from the food to listen to Jessica.

"Well he asked if he could move in with me since our relationship was getting pretty serious. But I'm not ready to share a bed with him and since our apartment only has two bedrooms... I was wondering if you could move out?" my eyes widen at her words

"But where would I live? I'm not working so how will I afford a home?" my mother looks between me and Jessica. My mother speaks up for the first time since our conversation

"Why don't you move in with Xavior?"
