Chapter 4- The Unexpected truth

Lesley's Pov:

Kris glared at me daggered and for the first time, I felt frightened

"Who are you? What are you?" He asked demanding answers

"I beg your pardon?" I swallowed my pride instantly

"Let me make it clear to you"

Unexpectedly, he brought out his gun and pointed it straight at my forehead attempting to shoot my brains out

"I don't know who you are to give me those demands, but remember who you are talking to" He threatened

He looked pretty serious and I knew there were no crossing boundaries with this dude. Only for the sake of my daughter, I had to convince him I was no threat

"All I'm trying to say, sir, Is leaving your daughter here without someone to watch over her while we are gone is like a jackpot to our enemies. Your safety and hers are my priority, So I can't let any of you take the risk. Shoot me if you may, You know I'm right and no one will protect you as I will." I stood confidently while the Urge of fear that I must have misspoken or something

He gave me another Dirty glare and smirked

"Brave of you to say, I admire your confident Lesley and you are right." He drops the gun

Just then, one of his guards {ETHAN} ran in with an extremely worried look on his face.

"BOSS!" He looked down at the dead body and back up at me then at Kris

"Is that Nate?" He whispered

"Yeah, It was all done by my bodyguard." He shook his head and turns around facing Rita's direction who was still fast asleep

"Clean up the Body Ethan and what brings you here un alarmed" His voice thickened

"I just wanted to make sure you were okay sir. I saw your missed calls" Ethan says

"Why are you just showing up now? If you knew any better, Someone tried to poison me" He picks up the champagne and Alcohol from the table and handed it to him as Ethan sniffed the surface

"This is mixed with Delutant oil" I uttered

"How can you tell," Ethan asked

"Because I know delutant oil when I smell one. I didn't come here to work for you guys to know the odds" I crossed my hands pouting my cheeks

"I see"

Ethan gave me triggering glares and it was no surprise why. I needed to keep a low profile.

"Is something the matter Commander?" I glared back

"No, not a problem" he cuts short

"We have to check the prevalence Camera just to be sure" Ethan adds still keeping his eyes on me

"Are you suspecting me by any chance Commander?" I spoke up

"Not sure, but if I am gonna be honest, Yes" He pointed out

I already knew that Ethan, or shall I say Commander Ethan never liked me since the day I joined the Mafia. So it was no surprise that he was blaming me for such an act. After all, he was the durk that set my house on fire and locked me in it years back.

"I'm not surprised, Commander. But if I'm gonna be real with you, These Bottles were served to the boss right before I came. Remember?" I glared at him staring into his brown eyes as he stared back with a frown.

"Right" He replied and turned his attention to Kris who looked confused and left out

"Razou, the guys and I will begin to search the Mansion. The bandit might not be too far across the gate, so you may relax Sir. I will let you know as soon as we catch him or her" He said firmly

"Good, you are dismissed" Kris ordered.

As soon as he left, Kris yawned and took off his robe exposing his broad shoulder and his perfectly built body

"It's 3 in the morning. I'm not supposed to be up this late," He massages his head.

"Are you okay sir?" I asked

"Just a little headache." He sighs

"Oh and by the way! Tomorrow is your training! You'd be joining the guys on the battlefield if that's okay with you" He says with a beaming smile on his face

Why is he smiling at me like that? So creepy!

"Um, not a problem sir. Goodnight" I cut the conversation short and was about to leave when I was stopped by his cold voice

"Where do you think you're going, Lesley?"

I turned in his direction putting on a confused look on my face

"Excuse me?"

"Remember, you're my bodyguard. So you aren't meant to leave me at all" He points out

"Does this include the toilet?" I raised an eye brown

"Ye- No!" he stammers

"What I mean is, since you're my bodyguard, you're supposed to make me feel safe and comfortable, at least until I know the coast is clear" He announced while tucking himself close to Rita.

"Sit" He signalled his head to the chair next to him as I rolled my eyes regretting my decision in signing up as his bodyguard.

I did as I was told and I could hear him snoring within seconds. He dozed off fast!

I looked over in his direction and couldn't stop staring. He looked extremely handsome when he was asleep. I got to notice his features I never paid attention to years back. His long eyelashes, small peach lips, deep black hair, and snow-white glass skin.

As soon as I knew it, I dozed off as well.

3 hours later

I woke up hearing loud noises coming from outside the room.

I instantly looked in Rita and Kris's direction and let out a sigh of relief.

"Good morning" I whispered and got up while following the noises coming from outside the room

Right when I walked out, I caught Ethan laying on the door while rolling his pocket knife around his finger and smirking wildly.

"Did I wake you?" Ethan says and brushes his hair back with his hands.

"Not at all. I don't sleep" I lied

"Then why did it take you so long to answer? I've been hoping you'd come out 15 minutes earlier" he smirks but I just put on a tough face and he seemed to have noticed it

"Let's talk" He went straight to the point.

Minutes Later, we were walking down the hallway silently

"We both know I don't like you Lesley" he breaks the silence

"Yeah, I figured" I scoffed

"I'm not gonna say I blame you for not trusting me. That's what the first relationship with someone new is like. You just have to know more about me and the tale I persuade" I said convincingly but I was replied with total silence

"You know what?" He smirked

"That word, that sentence, this isn't the first time I've heard it" His smile immediately turned to a light chuckle

"Right, Emily?"
