Stolen love

Chapter 8

Katherine

I arrived at James' mansion. I could not believe my eyes. I've never seen a mansion as big as this one. It almost looks like a palace. It had two huge fountains in the front yard and there were big stairs leading to the main entrance. It is absolutely stunning. It honestly makes me even more nervous to go in there. Women often don't get taken very seriously in the mafia, so I have to be confident and prove myself. Let us not talk about the fact that this isn't just anybody that I'm having a meeting with, It's the leader of the biggest mafia in the whole world. Rumours say that he killed his own father. "Come on girl put your badass pants on and go get this supply" I said to myself. Great, now I'm also talking to myself. 

     I walk up the massive stairs to the entrance. Two guards stopped me and asked me for my name and what I was doing here. I heard one of them call someone - James I think - and ask if I was expected. "Wait here, someone is coming to bring you to Mr. Castillo" the guard hissed. 

A few minutes later this extremally handsome young man walks up to me. He can't be older than 22, has brown mid-length hair that falls just above his eyes, light blue eyes and his neck is covered with tattoos. Is this James? 

     "You must be Katherine Pérez, I'm Alex, James' right hand. If you could please follow me to James' office" the young man said. Well I guess that answers my question. I do as he asks and follow him. 

Alex knocks on a door at the end of a very long hallway. A few seconds later someone opens the door. Oh... this is James. You could literally see my mouth drop to the floor. Let me tell you, I did not expect this. I thought James would be some old man with wrinkles and a long beard or something. But he's the complete opposite. He looks 23 - maybe - , has brown-black hair and the most intense, breathtakingly light green eyes that I've ever seen in my whole life. He has full pinkish lips, and his skin is flawless. He's wearing a tight black suit that fits him perfectly. There was something captivating about him. He radiates self-confidence. 

     "Are you going to come in or are you just going to stand there?". His low voice woke me up from my hypnotization. Oh god, he clearly saw that I was staring at him. Good start Katherine. I nod and follow him inside. He takes place behind his desk and I take a seat at the chair in front of him. 

"I understand your fiancé will be joining us soon?". "Yes, he's in another meeting now so that's why he sent me" I answer. "I did not ask for a fucking excuse, I don't like being kept waiting" he hissed at me. What an ass. I hope he can't read minds. "Well, I'm here aren't I? So you were not being kept waiting" I decide to answer with confidence in my voice. He looks at me with a slightly shocked face. I think it's because he isn't used to people defending themselves against him. 

"So you are  Sebastian Castillo's daughter. I heard a lot about you", he says with a low - kind of seductive - voice. "Yeah, that's me, what did you hear?" I ask, nervous about his answer. "That you are the hottest girl in the mafia and that every guy dreams of fucking you" he answers with no hesitation in his voice or emotion on his face. I did not expect that to be his answer. Do I consider it a compliment? I don't know, but he didn't have to say it like that. "Has anyone tried to smack some sense in into you? Since when is it okey to talk to a woman like that" I dared to say. 

     Before I knew it my back was straight against the wall. He pushed me and is now standing in front of me with a gun pointed under my chin. "You talk to me like that again and your fucking dead, understand?" he says with his lips just an inch away from mine. "Right before or after I stab you to death?" I say with a smirk on my face. He didn't realize that I had my knife against his stomach. He clenched his jaw and puts his gun back in his pocket, without moving his body or face away from mine. I do the same and slide my knife back into place. He leans forward, still pushing me against the wall. His whole body pushed against mine. I could feel his hot breath against my skin. "So, are the rumours true?" I whisper. "Yes", his eyes were now looking at my lips almost as if he's about to kiss me. I felt like my whole body was on fire. My breathing was heavy and I could feel my pulse throb in every inch of my body. 

A knock on the door startled me. James backed away and walked to the door. It's Alex, he announced that Fernandez arrived. 

So this is our first introduction of James :) What do we think about him ...
