A Game of Deception

Chapter Six

Hi everyone! It's Dani again, and I know I've taken longer than planned to continue this story. Many apologies as work became extremely hectic. Anyway, let's get on to the chapter!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Get up" the arrogant asshole's voice broke through my mind. Not wanting to wake up I turn over and nestle further into the warmth of my blankets. Suddenly frigid air assaulted me as the blankets were ripped from my body. 

Opening my eyes I glared at Alexander "you're a real asshole you know that? " I grumbled sitting up. 

Walking towards the windows he pushed the curtains open and turned to me "I don't have time for your games today. The ball is later tonight and judging by the fact that you're locked up in my home and you steal things, I'm gonna guess you have nothing to wear. "

He really doesn't beat around the bush and while I respect that I also just wanted to punch him. 

"I don't want to arouse and suspicion in what we're going to do so, a style team will be here this afternoon to see to it that you're properly attired. In the mean time we need to go over a couple things. " turning out of the room "I'll be in my study." 

After using the bathroom and changing into a fresh set of clothes I made my way to the study I was locked in the night before. There I found Alexander stood over his desk, eyebrows furrowed, looking over what appeared to be blueprints of a house. 

"What is it exactly that I'm stealing back for you?" I said entering the room "You weren't exactly forthcoming with details." 

Reaching his desk I looked down and found myself staring at one of the most complex safes I have ever encountered. Not only was is underground and surrounded by motion detectors and fail-safes, I also saw that it required not 1 but 3 codes to open. Whistling my mind flew over the prints trying to figure out the best course of action. 

"6 months ago a family member of mine passed away. They left me a thumb drive that contains a list confidential codes and the Moussaieff red diamond. The largest red diamond in the world." leaning forward he dropped a picture of giant red diamond in front of me "Around  2 months ago I discovered that both the drive and the diamond were missing from my safe at the bank."

"How do you know it was your friend that stole it?" I questioned 

"Because he's always wanted it" his eyes bore into mine " and the PI I hired found traces of correspondence between him and another person detailing the theft." 

"But, why would he keep it in his home?" 

"Darrius Feld is a cocky man. He'd want to keep it close to him." Alexander calmly said "He isn't what you would call discreet. Doesn't come from old money, he thinks he's untouchable. But, he forgets who I am." 

A shiver ran down my spine. Who exactly is Alexander Axton?
