CHAPTER 27

|Rutherford's Coffee shop, Downtown| 9:17am|:

The door bell jingled as a customer walked in.

I turned around on my seat to see who it was.

It was Black Ace and Anna.Earlier, I received a message from him, concerning a new business deal. I hate meeting at public places with him because although he is dressed in formal clothings, he still looked like a gangster with the tattoos erected on his neck and left cheek.

"Mr Jake..."

Anna sat beside me while Black Ace sat acRyan the table and in front of me.

"Anna,

as always, you look breathtaking." I flattered.She rolled her eyes.

"Boss,

you only flatter me when you are impatient, so I won't waste your time."

I stirred the coffee slowly with a teaspoon.

"Before Blake says anything, I got to know that the money to be released to the casino is a whopping amount of $500,000,000 and to be honest with you Boss, that's a lot of jackpot."

I smiled inwardly.That old geezer has been banking all these years. No wonder he doesn't bother about losing a lot of cash.

"That's a lotta money, Jake."

Blake said.

"Yeah..." I glanced at him,"... an awful lot of money. The old guys definitely has it going for him. He sure is investing..."

I picked up the mug,

"... that's good to know. Good money is very difficult to make but easier to steal." I smiled, sipping the coffee."We taking everything, right?" Anna asked.I dropped the mug on the table when I was done, tapping my fingers on the table.

"Rachel have already given out the password to me.

Of course, we taking everything. Were you thinking that I would leave some?..."

I chuckled,

"... Anna, you don't want me to upgrade your salary, right?"She gave me puppy eyes.

"No boss, that's not it. I want you to upgrade my salary.

I am grateful, the $100,000 is good cash, but I want an upgrade."

Blake laughed."Women ain't that contented these days, fam. Give 'em a 100bucks,they ain't appreciating nothin'.

$100,000?! Some PAs don't earn that much.

Jake's too nice though. I ain't giving no PA such an amount for a meager job."

"That's why you're damn broke, Blake. Those gold chains doesn't fit your broke ass, you know."

Blake glared at her. "Watch yo mouth, bitch!"

She scoffed.

"Or what? You don't have the guts to touch me. And if you try, Imma put a bullet in your head." She teased.

Blake was tensed up with rage. Anna and her sharp tongue, the both of them don't get along in the gang.

"If you two don't knock it off, I might consider putting you out and you know what that means."

They both went mute, glaring at each other.

"Sorry boss."

They both said."Blake, What about the business deal you messaged me about?""An old cargo dealer from the Philippines needs drugs worth $50m.

He got a bay, so it's easier to ship it."

I sighed."Handle it like you used to. Wire $20m to me when you seal the deal.

You know what to do with the rest of the money."

He nodded.

"By 11am today, Rachel will be attending the meeting with us. She is now a member and would be of help to us along the line.

What I need from you, is that you both should be on your best behavior.

She's very sensitive and a good body language reader. I don't want her feeling uncomfortable, Got it?"

"That's no big ish, Jake. If she is one of us, then she's family."

Blake said.

"Yeah, I am cool with that. What's that her surname again? Blake. Boss, She's is literally your archenemy's daughter.

It's none of my concern really, but..."

"I have handled this problem and she's willing to help me with the plan.

If you are not comfortable with it, why don't you resign? Or, should I fire you?"

She was dumbfounded, she looked away from me. "I'm sorry, Boss. I was just being paranoid."I got up from the chair I sat on,"Few hours from now, we will all be meeting at the usual place. Get prepared, see you both later." I said, turning around to leave.

••••🍀RACHEL🍀'Hey baby girl, come over to the industrial estate downtown. Block 57,garage number 10.

Be there before the clock strucks 11:00. See you there. Dress decently.' I stared at my phone, Jake just sent this message to me. I had already woken up and the time was 10:22am.

I groaned, burying my head in the pillow.

I feel tired and faint. The whole thing zapped all the energy I had and it was as if my body was rebooting after a short recharge.I got up, turning off the music. Why can't this guy just leave me the fuck alone?.

I frowned, moving out of the bed.I should get ready, I don't have much time.....

I drove off in my black Mercedes, humming to the song blasting from the stereo.

I am definitely late, Well... I don't care.

He has to bear with it, I agreed to help him and according to him, I am the key.

Wearing a bright yellow colored strapless and sleeveless short gown that clutched my bosom, showing off my substantial cleavage that spoke of my endowment.

My rich curly hair was styled in a half pleat on the side, while it was let loose, making a bold statement.

Black bondage boots graced my feet and I felt pleased, smiling to myself as I thought of what to expect of Jake's reaction.

He told me to dress decently, this is decent enough, after all, I want to annoy him.

I got to the place, staring at the rear mirror. I pouted my lips, admiring the bright red lipstick. Contented and smiling, I moved out to see a big, burly, black guy standing in front the garage door.

I remembered him from the last time.

The bald guy that dragged in Eddy to be murdered by Jake.

He gave me a skeptical stare.

"Miss Rachel?"

"Yes?"

I saw the way his eyes traveled down and then rested on my boobs.

I wasn't wearing any bra,though I am D-cup sized, my boobs were robust, firm and full.

He moved his eyes back up to my face.

"Come in please. We are all waiting for you. I am Black Ace."He brought out his hand, offering it to me for a handshake.

We shook hands with a smile on our faces.

He took me in. I made catwalks into the place. Cars were packed in here but it was very big, like that of a warehouse.

Jake was sitting on a broad table, wearing a brown T-shirt and beige colored khakis.

On his feet was a pair of classic sneakers and his hair combed backwards and into a bun.

He was discussing with some guys that were flanked around him and they were laughing.

They were all drinking liquor from their tumblers while Anna was busy munching her bowl of rotini.

"She's here, Jake."

Black Ace announced.Jake quickly glanced at where we stood. When he saw me, he jolted. I smiled inside me.I wasn't expecting him to be surprised at what I wore.I bravely walked to where he sat, he dropped the tumbler he was holding on the table.

"Rachel?"

I stood in front of him."Hello Jake, sorry I am late. I got your message really late and had to began preparing."

Jake's eyes raked my body and then he frowned.

"It's okay..."

he moved down from the table,"... can I have a word with you in private?"

"Why?" I asked, pretending to be confused.He grabbed my arm, dragging me along as he stormed out of the place.

We got to the back of the garage, before I could say anything, he turned around and slammed my shoulders to the nearest wall, and I winced in pain.

Looking up into Jake's face who was now glaring at me, I gulped.

"What the FUCK are you wearing?!"

He snapped.

"Clothes? Obviously, I am wearing clothes!"

I snapped back.He tightened his grip on my shoulders.

"You call this... clothes?. You are dressed like a whore, Rachel!"

"Don't you like it? Cause I didn't think you would be complaining." I said, frowning at him.

He left my shoulders."I told you to dress decently, What impression do you want the boys to have about you?

And Jesus! You ain't even wearing any bra. Don't you know you are big breasted?..."

he smacked his forehead with her hand, closing his eyes.

He opened it slowly, staring at me,

"... you are not like this, Rachel. You are a decent girl with a good character.

You don't have to wear such things.

I know I don't have the right to tell you what to do..."

he leaned forward, flattening his hands on the wall,

"... but I won't let you do this with this body of yours.

It is mine and only I should be able to lust after it."

I blinked."Are you lusting after it now?"

He smiled. "Yes..." he took off his shirt,"... and I can't do anything about it. Wear this..." he offered it to me.I took it from him, pulling it on. He smelled so good and his strong scent immediately masked mine.

"I'm sorry, Jake..."

I looked up to face him and he was watching me.

I stared at his naked torso, my eyes taking in his broad chest, going down to his well chiseled six pac abs.

"... aren't you going to wear any clothes?".

"I have a spare in the car, thankfully"My eyes trailed down, resting on his zipper.

I quickly took my eyes off it.

"Alright, let's head inside."

"Wait..." he said. I glanced at him. He brought his head closer, quickly giving me a short wet kiss. With his tongue, he licked off the lipstick completely from my lips.

I stood, unable to utter a word.

He smirked, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

"Now that's better. Let's head inside."

I felt compelled by just that singular action. First, I thought he was just a ruthless gangster, an alpha to his gang of cold brutes. He is actually sweet and caring, a badass hottie too.

But I know, everything is just an act. I am anything lesser than an object to him.

I sighed, following him in.My eyes staring at his thick, Well chiseled back muscles.

There is no denying that I can't do anything about the situation I am in right now, but one thing is certain, Jake has a weak spot. Every alpha male does, I just have to be observant enough to find out this dominating alpha male weak spot, before I can finally take him down. This, I swear.
