CHAPTER 08

POV. Alexander

"Viktor, where the hell were you? "I want to know, without anger in the middle. I'm just worried that one of my men won't have enough courage to tell the truth.

I called him a while ago, and he told me that he was in Red Square. Since he had tied up the loose end, I saw no reason for him to wander over there.

The robust man's eyes go to the ceiling, I know that it is a woman, a reason that puts anyone in danger if everything revolves around a female who can ruin our plans.

"With Mariola," he admits.

It leaves me surprised.

The Ferretis are our opponents, they have properties in this country, I know firsthand that they will be in Russia for a while. What I don't like is that they have intentions of taking over territory that belongs to us.

Curse.

"The Ferreti daughter? "I question, not being able to believe that she is dating a minor, the firstborn of the enemy. She didn't expect anything less from you, do you know that girl can be a snitch? Don't get into trouble with those people, Volkov.

"It won't happen, and it's also out of interest.

"What kind of interests? "I'm curious, sitting down again, I clasp my hands on the desk, looking at him attentively.

"I'm sure she knows Elmo Ferreti's dirty secrets. We both know that she has done nothing to be in that position. Lord, I will find truths that can serve us.

It sounds tempting, I meditate a little and nod.

"Are you going to infiltrate? "I find out. He rubs his chin, she's thinking about it. I shouldn't ask him, if I need him to do it I just give the order, but Volkov has never broken the rules and I have respect for him. That's why he has the privilege of choosing. They don't know your identity, Viktor.

"Can work. I have told Mariola that I am dedicated to gardening. Maybe I'll find a job there.

"It's a great idea, but be careful, they are worse than the Frattini.

"But not as strong as the Russian mafia," he boasts cheekily.

I nod with a victorious smile.

"Changing the subject, have you seen Amber?

My brother's mother doesn't visit the house as much as she used to, my father says she goes out with her friends. I don't buy the story that someone like her goes to a gathering, to tea or to any squeamish shit. That woman is calculating, she manipulates her husband at her whim. I don't know how my father's eyes don't open the fuck up.

"Amber, regarding her, there is something I must tell you.

I feared. She gave an exasperated sigh. There is always material around her. I just hope it's not worse than an arrest for driving too fast, even a drunken one that almost exposed her to being murdered. Although I don't know what could be worse than the last one.

"Forward

"Aleksander, I saw the lady leaving Elmo's mansion. Is there an explanation for that?

"No, of course there isn't. How often?

"Three times, Mariola told me that her father and Mrs. Colleman are dating.

"This is important. If my father finds out that that whore is cheating on him, he's going to kill her.

"And if Elmo finds out that his lover is the enemy's wife, then he will be the one to end her life," he adds, it's a compelling reason.

"I know. For now, don't say anything, and call Nikon, I need advice regarding some business. "I explain.

"Immediately, with permission, sir.

I rub my temple, it frustrates me to have to find out about this. I won't leave anything out, she'll have to explain to me what the hell she's doing. So I think Dominic might be aware of this. He supports everything his mother does, silly or not. She dialed her phone number.

After two failed attempts, on the third he helps me.

"Can't you answer your cell phone when I need to? "I question overwhelmed.

"Alek, I'm doing homework. What do you want, little brother?

"What I want is for you to put your fucking pants on once and for all, but now I want to talk to you about another matter.

"Tell me.

"Do you know if your mother is dating anyone?

"No, I don't know anything," he says roughly.

"You better be telling the truth," I threaten.

A snort emanates from the other end of the line.

"Two nights ago he told me that he was going to Alexa's house, his friend, but he came back that same night drunk. It is a mystery who brought her to the entrance of the apartment.

"Dominic, let me know if you know anything else.

"With a condition.

"Do not you dare.

Who does this insolent man think he is? He has no right to come and set rules and impediments for me. There is no doubt that he does not understand the concept of Leader, I am powerful and his elder brother. He can't deny me anything.

"I was just going to ask you for money, I need it.

"You can ask our father.

"He won't give me anything, you know. In any case, the fate of those thousands will demand of me, then I will achieve nothing.

"For the record, if I give you the money, it does not mean that I am accepting conditions. You'll have to do something for me. You accept it or leave it.

"Well, it's a deal. What should I do?

"Follow Elena, take a taxi and follow her to her destination. Then you send me the address. That's all. As soon as you do your part, I will do mine.

"Why are you entrusting me with this? "You have your men," she complains.

"My men have no time to waste on trifles.

"Made. Now I leave you, I must continue studying.

I huff ending the call.

Nikon plays, waiting for my permission to enter. Once he enters, he sits down when I gesture with my chin.

"Boss, he asked to see me.

"That's right, I need to talk about this Monday's delivery. Give me the forecast, Nikon.

He advises me to talk for about half an hour. Which coincides with my decision. We say goodbye, I make a couple of pending calls, especially the international call. My lawyer and detective in the United States has been keeping a close eye on Grizela. He gives me good news, the redhead has ended the pregnancy.

Among so many bitter flavors, this is comforting. That problem is now over.

It's time to go see Luna. I need to get rid of this stress as soon as possible. She headed me to her room, on the third floor of the mansion. The whole way I do nothing but recreate the scene in my head. Amber has relived what happened with Elena. She doesn't deserve to even be called mom. As soon as I entered the bedroom I saw her in the fetal position on the bed. She knows I'm there, but she doesn't turn to me. My nose breathes her fear, that magnifies my fury, the dominion that exists, that I manage. I take off her pants, she shakes off her, her crying is an incentive, an invitation to possess her. I won't reject it.

I approach her and lean down, removing the thick hair that invades the side of her face. I discover her heavy breathing. It makes me want to grab her neck and squeeze it, the desire to kill her goes away, I have no idea why, it just happens. I don't think about it, I assume that carnal need is the cause.

"I know you don't sleep, and if that were the case, I don't care. "Look at me, Luna," I demand.

He growls, obeying me, flashing annoyance.

"Are you going to rape me again? "I'm not fit, look at my back, it hurts a lot," she recalls, upset.

That rational side that suddenly surrounds me knows that it is right. And since when have I cared if it feels good or not?

"Come on, Luna...

It does not move. He seems to process each word with a slowness that makes me impatient. When she performs and is naked for me, I make her touch me. She appears hesitant.

"I don't want to do it." Her eyes are filled with tears.

Exciting.

"Oh come on, Lunita...

He denies, although his hand goes towards the target. He slaps her hard, he moans from her hit. Her disobedience turns me on, I grab a handful of her hair and make her look at me. She sobs uncontrollably, she trembles, she cannot stop. How I hate feminine whining, while at the same time she turns me on more.

"Let's make things easy, Luna. It's that or I'll spank you. It would be a shame if I had to mark your pretty face "I smile imagining that. Her face is a poem, she denies and wipes her eyes.

"No, Alexander. Just give me a second...

"Not a single damn second! "I flatly reject her, she jumps in fear.

"Fine," he stammers, gasping for air.

Little by little she gets closer, her inexperience shows.

The image deserves a screenshot, and I don't have my cell phone within reach. It would have been a perfect photo, a gift for the Millers.
