Chapter 39 : the ballroom pt.3

4th pov: mystery men

Hey, readers, I know you reading this wondering who I am but, you know who I am yeah I got a real feeling you know who I am. I'm the man about to mess up your perfect little family you love reading about so much.

If you wondering hey this must be the neighbor Zara meet then I'll say you're smart.. but not smart as me I'm always head, which means you must keep up. Just because you know about me doesn't mean I'm going to tell you who I am all the way.. no there's no fun in that and I love fun.

I know you must be curious as to where I might be? Well I'm at the same ballroom event, this is going to be a night to remember. As the severs hand me a drink of the wine I pretend to look at a beautiful canvas but I was watching the beautiful Zara and Sevin.

I wanted everything Roman had and I was going to do everything in my power to destroy what made him happy, you may ask yourself ,what does this sick fucker have in mind... I'll tell you... Who I'm kidding didn't I just tell you I love mind games if you wanna survive this book you're going to need to beat me at that.

"These portraits tell the story of love as a drug... it's beautiful right," Roman says as he stands next to me looking at the beautiful Art canvas. This man didn't even know I was the one responsible for the crazy shit his family is going through.

"Yeah, that's beautiful but I'm looking at a different portrait right now that tells me a different story," I say using the hand I had a wine glass in to point to Zara, who was now surrounded by Sofiane and his men as he meets them.

I see Roman side-eye me as he clenched his jaw I can tell he wanted to say something but didn't, why was this man not saying anything.

Roman clenched his fits as he take a deep breath as puts his hands in his pocket. As we watched Damien approach Sofiane and his men leave.

"And for the portrait love is a drug so is family, never know when you might relapse trying to save someone who doesn't need saving or your love, the thing we do for the people we love," I say looking at Roman as he looks at his family he nods in response.

As he zones out looking at his family taking this moment to leave and hide with the rest of the crowd. I don't know how you readers root for a man like that he was a monster who took people's families away but when I do it it's a problem or I'm the bad guy. Everyone is a hero in their own story but some survive longer to be turned into a villain for other people's stories. Was it because Roman was tall or good-looking or because he had money, what made y'all root for someone who can... I was about to spill so much for you guys but you don't deserve it.

Pov: Zara Nizerimana

While in the bathroom we hear a knock Damien is overprotective he hides me behind him. It was Roman who walked in and for a second I felt safe again my night and shining armor was here and everything felt better.

"You guy know this is the lady's room right," I say to Roman and Damien as they proceed to lock the bathroom door.

"Rob just taxed me he got the product back home.. he's not coming back.. he think he should stay at the house and keep watch over the girls," Roman say picking up the different guns that was in the duffel bag.

"How's everything moving?" Roman ask Damien as he takes my hand.

"With out Rob we're now one men down but we can hold our own weight" Damien say taking of his black dress shirt he was wearing a black short sleeve under . He puts his dress shirt in the duffel bag and he takes out a bullet prof vest, he enter the stall to change his pants. While Roman look through the duffel bag, they all was really focus on whatever they was about to fuck up tonight.

Damien comes out wearing the same black sweatpants with pockets as Sevin, wearing all black as his gold cross necklace sits on the top of his black shirt. Reveals his tattoos on both sleeves of his arms and hands. Roman start passing him a gas mask, and bullets, and Damien starts to place them in his pocket he takes a gun holster and places it on his shoulder putting two guns inside as he takes two more in his hands. Roman opens the vent for Damien as he closes it after he enters.

"I'm sorry baby I know I said I won't leave your side and that's what I been doing all night," Roman said kissing my neck as he hug me.

"It's okay, your siblings been very overprotective and sharing, are they scary, yes but I feel safe with them so you are off the hook, plus I am the one that told you I didn't want to meet anyone," I say as we were still hugging. I look up to him as we make eye contact and smile. I feel something between my inner thighs as he hugged me again.

"Why are you always hard?" I ask Roman as we both look down.

"Because you sexy as fuck," he said as he shrugged his shoulders. I pull him to meet my height as I kiss his cheek and whip the lipstick off.

"Come one it's time for the dance," Roman said holding my hand as he walks out of the lady's room.

There I was in the middle of the balloon with the men of my dreams about to waltz dance.

"May I have this dance Ms.Nizerimana?" Roman asks reaching for my hands and I place them in his large hands. He walks us over to the center of the ballroom all eyes on us. Roman was was confident in public.

He places his hand on the back of my shoulder and I place one of mine and top of his shoulder while both our other hand hold each other's, he firmly but softly push my body closer to his as we move I move up front while he moves back while moving side to sides.

"You look so handsome, I just want you to know there's no place I feel safe than right here in your arms," I say making eye contact as he shyly thanks me as his cheeks turn red. He spins me around three times as the last spine place my back to his front as he leans down to place his head at the crook of my neck.

"I'm glad you feel safe, that all I want for you and the girls to always be safe," he says whispering in my ear as I turn my head to rest on his head as we move side to side. As his hands rest together on my stomach I place my hands on top of his as I take in his scent never wanting to leave, trust me I wasn't going to, it going to take me being in prison for me to leave this man, and I wouldn't to go to prison either.

"What the fuck is he doing, shit...shit," Roman says speaking to himself. I start to look around to see what he was looking at but I was confused. I started asking him "what" three times as he push my question to the side.

"Roman, what is it tell me now?" I demanded him to tell me I feel my body get chills... Roman was angry his face was intimidating and scary, he looks down at me noticing I was getting scared as he hold my arm.

"Fuck Sofiane must be on to us for stealing our drugs back...he just had his right-hand man lock the doors meaning... everyone in here is about to die."

Roman starts talking in his earpiece in Italian communicating with his sibling on the other end.

"Shit...Zara I need you to listen closely okay, when I tell you to run take your heels off and run to the bathroom where there's an extra tear gas mask in there, Sevin has your six... she's one of the best snipers she going to make sure you run to the bathroom... just stay in the bathroom... climb to the vent and if you keep going your going to see an office with a brown rug enter that room and use the window to leave, one of the house guards is going to pick you up from there...please don't get hurt," Roman said looking concern.

Roman crazy-ass walk me slowly away from the center of the room as he rips the end of my dress in the corner. He reaches in his pocket to grab the small remote but before that, we hear a small bomb go off only causing a small shake nothing big, and it wasn't Romans because he hasn't pressed the bottom yet.

"Fuck shit about to star... hurry and take off your heals," Roman say rushing to help me remove my heals.
