Mobster (BWWM)

Chapter 35

Kelly.

This was why I seldom drink whenever I go out to clubs and parties. Here I was, naked in the arms of a man that I barely knew anything about with a splitting headache. I couldn't believe that I had a one-night stand with a man that I had a gut feeling about.

Everything in my head told me to run and get as far away from this man as I possibly could. I slipped out of his arms and went to put on my clothes which were thrown all over the room. I looked the large room up and down. The things here looked quite expensive.

I took up my phone to call Tori to see if she was okay but damn my battery died.

I needed to get the hell out of this place. I shook Edward's arm, trying to wake him.

"What's the matter, pretty woman?" He asked with his eyes still closed.

"I need to get home. My battery died so I can't call a cab. Call one for me." I told him with a hint of build-up anger in my voice.

"Relax, Kelly." He said, sarcastically. "Why are you in such a rush to leave? I had a great time last night." He got up off the bed and whispered close to my shoulders.

I stepped away from him. "Well, I didn't." I snapped at him. "I need to get home, Edward, and I need to know what happened to my friend. I can't call her now because my battery died."

"Fine, I'll get you home but first, I need your help." He stated flatly.

"My help? What do you need my help with?" I asked out of curiosity.

"You see, Kelly, Marco stole something from me and I want you to help me get it back." He said as he stood before me butt naked.

I shook my head at him. "No, Edward, I can't help you with that. Find someone else. By the way, how did you know that I knew Marco."

"I was told that you used to sleep with him. I was also told that you're his only weakness." He was now speaking in a very low tone.

"Who told you that?" I inquired.

"I was told a lot of things, Kelly. I have my ways of getting information and I never disclose my sources." Was his reply.

"So, you knew all along who I was."

"Sort of." He responded, nonchalantly.

"Please call the cab. I need to get out of here." I told him, sternly.

I walked away from him and that's when I felt him grab my arm and grumbled at me. "Kelly, what's the code to the safe? Marco has more than a hundred million bucks inside that safe and I need to get my fucking hands on it. That shit belongs to me."

I tried to pull away from him but I couldn't.

"Let go of me, Edward. I don't know the code for any safe. I don't even know what safe you're talking about."

"I don't believe that for a minute, Kelly. You fucking know." He muttered to me.

"Please believe me I don't know. Just let me leave, please." I had a very bad feeling about this man and I wanted to get far away from him.

"You might as well help me, Kelly, because I'm not giving up." He spat at me.

"Edward, I don't know what battle you and Marco are fighting and I don't want to get involved."

"You're already involved, Kelly. Who do you think those men who tried to kill us at the club were?"

"I don't know," I answered, softly.

"They were Marco's men and they thought that you and I are working together." His long fingers dug into my skin.

"What!" I shrieked at him. "That's not true. I don't even know anything about you."
