His Mafia Queen

Chapter 24

It's been a week since I heard Caiden and Cameron talk casually about disposing of the body. A week of hatching plans of how to get him to confess. A week of me missing Caiden. A week of getting time for myself without him hovering around me all the time.

Surprisingly, since the morning I got to know his secret, I haven't seen Caiden as he had to travel to Italy for some work. So he claims. But I'm damn sure it has got to do with his mafia work.

Yes, you heard me right. I found out that he is in Mafia. He is the Russian Mafia boss and he took over after his father's death. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who didn't know about him. I randomly slipped his name in the conversation with Abby and she reprimanded me for even getting involved with him. She said he was dangerous and it was difficult to get out once you are in. She just knows that I work in his company and that we are acquaintances. I am really afraid of her reaction when she knows that I'm his girlfriend.

How do I tell her that it's probably too late? I mean being his girlfriend means that I'm more than involved. Well except in the business.

I am looking forward to meeting him again. Sitting in my office, anticipating his arrival is pure torture. I mean, a part of me misses his presence, but the rational part of me is convinced that this is the time I can dig into him more. I'm in a dilemma.

I need to talk to someone whom I can trust and I am sure will help me out. I really can't involve Abby. I would never put her in any danger. I've promised myself that. 

I have to come up with a plan and fast!

There was a knock on my door suddenly, making me sit up straight. 

"Come in" I hollered.

The door opened and in came Clara, Cameron's assistant.

"Hey there," I greeted her.

"Hi, Amelia" she greeted me back.

"Come sit" I invited her.

"No, it's okay. I need to go. I just came to let you know that Boss called and told me to tell you that he needs you to look after the client who is coming in today. He just wants you to meet and have a talk with them, find out what they are offering. Also, he needs you to present it when he comes back. He will decide according to that" she explained.

"Me? Why would he want me to do it? I mean there are people who are far more experienced than me. And I haven't had the chance to meet up with people, especially regarding the business. I have done as per the requirements provided to me. I don't know if I can do this. Actually, I'm going to call him" I voiced out.

"Hey, chill. You will do well. It's just like how you have done. But here you'll be meeting the client instead of your colleagues. Usually, you sit with your colleagues to decide the marketing strategy, and make a presentation to your boss for your ad to be published, right?" she asked trying to make it all easy.

"Yes" I whispered softly, nervousness evident on my face.

"It's exactly the same here. You talk with your clients, find out what they are looking for. Make a presentation based on their needs and your ideas of how to publish it to make it a success" she said as if it was the easiest thing to do.

"I can't say no. Can I?" I asked.

"No way!" she exclaimed.

"Chop, chop. Get to work now. They will be here in an hour. So prepare your notes and be ready to rock this" she said before giving me a peck on my cheek and leaving my room.

"Great!"

Caiden's P. O. V

"Did you find him?" I screamed into the phone.

I can literally feel the person at the other end break a sweat at my tone. That's the effect I have on people. Truth to be told, I'm kind of loving the fear of people. It makes me feel like a powerful person.

I can see Cam give me a smug look at my behavior. I mean no one knows me better than him. And he is not bad on that part though. 

"Stop smirking" I order him, but low enough that only he can hear me.

He simply raised his hands up in surrender.

I am in a hotel getting ready to go to the club. Tonight is a gentlemen's night where I and all of my mafia associates will be meeting. It's not just business since we are all like a family.

"Do you need a date?" Cam asked as soon as I disconnected the call threatening the man who was now hunting the idiot who betrayed me.

"No!" I replied.

"Why not?" he asked knowingly.

"You know why!" I grunted out in response.

"No I don't" he argued.

He is getting on my nerves.

"Am I getting on your nerves?" he had the courage to taunt me.

"Only you Cameron!" I gritted my teeth in response.

"If it was someone else, they would have been six feet under by now" I threatened him.

"I know" he smirked at me.

I simply threw the hairbrush at him, hitting him square on his face.

"Ouch. What was that for?" he groaned in pain.

"Shut your mouth" I ordered.

He mimicked zipping his mouth with his fingers.

I soon got ready ignoring Cam's actions. 

"Hey, will you be telling her about what you do?" Cam asked out of the blue.

"Maybe" I cut my reply short.

"What if she doesn't accept you?" Cam probed again.

"I don't know. I'll try to break it to her slowly. I mean, slowly I'll give her clues, show her a part of our lives and what we do so that it doesn't come out as a shock to her. But either way, she has to accept it at the end" I stated.

"You think this is easy right?" Cam chuckled at me.

"I don't know. I am not sure that I will be telling her anything at all." I voiced out my thoughts.

"Don't you think she is the one?" he implored me.

"I don't think so. I know it" I declared.

I don't think I will be able to let her go. She is mine from the moment I laid my eyes on her and she is going to stay with me forever. 

"You can't force her to accept you after she knows the real you" he argued.

"I know that I can't but you know me. If I want something I'll make a way for it. And that's the reason why I am going to make her fall in love with me so that she won't think of leaving me no matter what" I smirked.

I know what I have to do. I have to make sure she is crazy for me just as I am for her. And I will make sure that happens. Because she is MINE. 

I will make her mine, by hook or by crook!

"Actually an idea just popped into my mind. You are right, I can't force her directly, but I know what will" I implied.
