Jayden's POV

I have to speed up things. I can't believe my fucken father wants that bastard Hagel to start  working in the company just next week! And the idiot agreed.

Shit shit.
This isn't good, this isn't good at all. I'm shaking with anger and the witch is making it worse!
" Listen Mom, I'm not going to just sit back and act as Hagel's puppy! Dad can definitely let someone else tutor him. Why is it so necessary that it's me?!" I stiffened out, gritting my teeth.

If I accept to tutor him, he'll ask questions. Questions that will demand me showing him files on various dealings, which I most definitely cannot!. That would be like hunging myself.

Fuck. I didn't anticipate this this soon.
" Why can't you? He's your brother! And you know so much about the company already" my Mom  sneered, her Italian accent vivid.
" If I'm so good already, then why in fucks name are you making him work there!" I boom, frustrated
I know I need to calm the fuck down but I can't.
It's like my shit will blow up any moment from now.

They can't find out about the money, else I'm going to lose everything!.

" Don't cuss at me you silly boy. Son vostra Madre! " She yelled in Italian, gripping my jaws and digging her nails into them.
I'm more furious now, I pulled away and huffed.

" You know what, I'm not going to stand here and argue with you, it's pointless" I stepped back, turned and walked away, ignoring the perplexed looks from Bethany and Hazel.
" To prego, fai che siano scarpe! "  I heard the witch yell as I walked out.

I need to think! Alone in my car, I take off my coat, messed my hair as I tried to control my breathing.
" Goddddd!!!" I yell and hitting my wheel several times as I cussed, speeding away.

I made several calls to the banks offshore where I was keeping the money to make sure that the arrangements to change all the legal documents into another name and a different account was in place.

I ignored the call from Hakeem and gulped down the vodka.
Damn!. I shouldn't have agreed to give Hakeem the money. He fucken blackmailed me.
I promised that son of a bitch five freaking million dollars!.

I had no option. He wants to over-throw his father and take over the seat as the head Mafia. He came to me, threatened me , said that he'd sell me out to my dad about my drug dealings and the money I've been embezzling.
That's not all, that bastard said he'd spill the truth to Hazel and  then kill her if I refused to give him the money.

I can't lose everything!. I've worked so damn hard  for everything and now that I almost have it all, I can't lose.
" I can't!" I smash the glass, torpling  the leather chair over.
I wanted so bad to damage something, anything!.

I need to get Hazel to love me back. All of this is for her. I need her to accept me again. I plan for us to leave the country as soon as everything is  taken care of.
I'll have that perfect life.
Just her and me and Abel.
We'd be happy, so fucken happy!.
I can't lose, I need to get rid of Hagel. And that bastard Hakeem.

And even Bethany.... Well, I might spare her. I have no use for her now.
For now, I have to think about how to get Hagel out of the company and out of my life for good.
I will.

I surely will, soon.

Bethany's POV

One thing I hate the most  is to be left in the dark. Exactly what Jayden has been doing to me oflate. What the hell is he planning to do now?.
Hakeem told me it had something to do with my sister. But the bastard won't give me details.

Sitting in front of the dog now, I try my possible best not to rip his throat with the knife. Instead, I cut through the steak, fork it and take a bite.
" You and I would have been So happy Bethany. But you had to go and betray me. You know, I can't seem to forgive you for that." He says, sipping his wine.

I take a closer, deeper look at the man in front of me.
Hakeem Val Khan.
He's the type of man  women would kill for. Sharp firm jaws, straight nose, charming deep blue eyes, broad  shoulders and undoubtedly powerful muscles and an angelic face to top it all.... The icing on the cake.
Except that he was no Angel
A demon.

A bloody fucken demon.
I resisted the urge to throw up as I felt his cold hands on my thighs under the table, skirting up.
" Hakeem..." I try to say in a low but warning tone
" Ssh, sssh sssh honey. You agreed to be my mistress remember? We have a deal. And it's not like I never fucked you. You know I know well how to get you wild, soaked, begging to pleasure you"

He doesn't. ugh.

" You haven't fulfilled your part of  the deal yet" I grit out, pushing his hand off as I relaxed back into my chair.
The sound of his.... I must admit, sexy laugh had me watching him intensely.
" Oh. I will" he whispered.
" What are you going to do? How are you going to take her out of the picture without hurting her?" My tone is serious.

I know for a fact that whatever Jayden is planning has to do with Hazel. He wants her, craves her. I know how mad Jayden can be and now, he's at the peak of his insanity. He wouldn't think twice about leaving me in the fucken highway in a heartbeat for her.

I won't be left out. Not this time. I'll fight with everything I have. And I'll win.

Hazel, the perfect one!.
Why am I never enough?.
I can't let everything I've been working for just slip out through my fingers.
I can't.

" Well I have a plan. You don't need to know about it. Your sister would be fine. I give you my word. Just focus on pleasuring me, that's all you're good for".

Somebody hold me down. I feel like I'll leap over the table and stab him in the eye any moment from now. I badly wanted to.
I grit my teeth as I return my gaze back to the food.

" You love luxury huh?. That's why you choose that boy? Betrayed your sister by having an affair with her man. I can't understand women. I'm rich as well, handsome, and very soon I'll be at the very top, yet, you still left me. Fucken bitch."
I look at him from under my lashes and for a second, I detected.... Hurt?

Wait what?
Of course! How could I have missed this. Hakeem has feelings for me.
That's why he had acted so violently.
I need to use this to advantage , take it slow and smart.
He acted so closed off all the time I was with him and that's why I missed it. And plus, I was too focused on Jayden.

Now I'll use this bastard to get everything back to how it was.
Pretending wouldn't be a problem.
I mean come on, how hard would it be be to fool that nitwit, again.

Yeah, this should be fun.
I throw him a stiff smile and focused on my bloody steak.....
Oh yeah, this would be one helluva fun.

It would, I swear it.
