Savage Crown II

9. Nine

I was on my way to the airport with my family to secure a connection out in the UK for our businesses when word was received that the Don Fernando was in critical condition. I chose to stay behind and go give my well wishing to the Lombardi Family. Driving straight from the aiport back towards the Lombardi's,  I could see a glimpse of the Leon's estate from my left side. The Lombardi and Leon's were practically neighbors with only huge plots of land and roads separating them. The Leon house towered over peaking above the brick walls and heavy black metal gate. As I was at the red light, a convoy of blacked out escalades drove across the street towards the Lombardi estate headed from the Leon's. Meaning they were also on their way towards their house.

Then just as I was about to turn right onto the street a convertible red Lamborghini cut me off. The driver was busy laughing and smiling not even noticing they were about to hit me. My mind quickly assumed it was Leonardo De Leon driving another one of his many sports cars only to realize that unless Leonardo had grew long hair and a gorgeous body then I wasn't seeing properly.

With a quick glance at them as they drove right in front of me I got a better view of who was driving Leonardo's car. My mind and heart not communicating well as I saw it was her... Natalia.

I stopped at that red light for a while trying to regain my thoughts and control my actions. As I circled around the block trying to clear my mind, my suspicions were confirmed only when Saint Lombardi was driving to the Leon's estate and quickly turned on his high beams as I approached the car. As if he was hiding something. My gut told me it had to be her here to see Fernando. Saint was trying to play off the defensive stance as we talked in front of our cars, ready to act if needed. A hostile stance I hadn't seen in him but could easily pick up on as he tried to hide it behind the fake awkward smile.

The next day's charity event happening in the night was ran by a subsidary company that we owned. Since it was clean revenue my pressence wasn't required and had left it up to my assistant to take control of and manage it but I knew Saint would be in attendance in place of Fernando it was the perfect opportunity to approach him and get him to tell me the truth by any means necessary. I had expected him to come alone. Instead he came accompanied with his arms locked on a beauty I had been searching for. A burning sense of jelousy and rage took a hold of me seeing Natalia looking flawless as ever in a tight red dress. The first time seeing her in four years and in the hands of another man. Her body was fuller now, her hips wider and curvier, and her breasts more heavy and rounder. She sported a shy smile on her face, one I hadn't seen before on her. She was always so confident so well calculated and deadly. I watched her from afar as her confidence in being in the crowd grew. Men were looking at her from afar wishing it was them her arms were locked onto.

Watching her from a distance for most of the night, my rage and jelousy only grew more as Saint placed his coat on her, using that sly calculated opportunity to wrap his arm around her waist, making sure it was clear to everyone she was here with him alone tonight. A claim letting everyone else know she was his and no one else could approach her. I could see her getting more tired as the night went on until she broke away from Saint and wondered the halls in search of something.

I followed her from a distance making sure she was safe. My body fighting the urge to run after her. She went to the bathroom only to not return to the party. She walked out onto the balcony that over looked the botanical gardens. Her skin glowed under the moon light as she stared at the garden below her in admiration. I couldn't keep away any longer and approached her.
