Gauarded hearts

Chapter 10

Rosen

I really tried not to eavesdrop. I told myself to respect Jasmine's privacy when she went to talk to her brother. But I usually can't respect people's privacy, it's for her safety. I know there is more to the story than what Jasmine told Jake. When I shot her with the drug. It broke my heart, then when she fought. It was like she has done that her whole life, she didn't even break a sweat that's how skilled she was. My team has been hunting James down ever since she was a kid. He's a slimy bastard. Jasmine has as well it seems. One thing I can't seem to grasp is how Jasmine has been able to hide this whole time, the only person who has been able to see her every move is Jake. She's been a very successful ghost for the past 10 years. It's actually impressive.

"Rosen, since you are now Jasmine's bodyguard, you will be required to bring her to the warehouse once a week. On Sundays. Jasmine, you must clear your Sundays for the foreseeable future. Also the times 3 am-6 am for training. Jasmine you are going to be eased into finances for the Mafia, also there will be runs you will have to be apart of. Also, there will be a news outlet you will have to join announcing your new role as the Italian Mafia Princess. With this title, your life will forever be in danger. But you will be protected. If it all goes well no one will think about harming you. Sense the Russian mafia, and Mexican Mafia are in our corner. If we have to go to war then we will. Rosen will show you everywhere we run and own. We own most of new york, Mane. and a few other states. We protect women and children with our life. We are cleaning up the states from trafficking. We are good guys."

A few hours later.

Jasmine is in my car, jamming out to the music coming out of her headphones. We just left the warehouse. She was filled into her new roles, she didn't seem to mind them. She has a wedding in 3 hours. The drive home is 2 hours, so she shall be on time. It is Sunday, but since we are ahead of schedule her father said they will start Sundays next week. She will have to go to the main base next week. Jake and June are going back to Oregon later today. And Ann is meeting us at the house with the guys.

"Rosen," Jasmine asks I look over and shes stares out the window.

"Yes?"

"Jeff and Eric are getting married on Tuesday, in Oregon.  I will be going.  I took that day off work months ago." She says not looking at me.

"I think we can make that work. We will have to ask your father just to be sure."

"I am an adult Rosen, I don't ask for permission. I will tell him I'm going. Plus I need a vacation." She says giving me a stern look.

"Ok, I will let him know. Are we flying or driving?"

"I have a private jet, once we get there I have a house, where we will stay. Also, I hope you know how to ride a bike because that is what I will be riding once we get there," she says. I do know how to ride a bike, I have a few myself, but I don't ride them often. I would rather ride my car.

"You have a home in Oregon?"

"Yes, for as many trips I made out there I thought it would be easier for me to build a home in the states I visit. Hawaii, Mane, New York, Russia, and Florida. I have 7 homes. But the last two are somewhere private. I go to them when I need to get away." She says looking out the passing trees.

"7 homes, that's impressive, and you built them all yourself, in the 10 years since I've seen you, you became a badass, multi-millionaire, homeowner of 7 homes, and a Mafia princess."

"Well, technically um... I'm a multi-billionaire. But don't tell anyone. I became a Millionaire at 5. multi-millionaire at the age of 10.  Billionaire at 20. And multi-billionaire at 24. Let's just say I have so much money I'm almost richer than dad. But you can't tell anyone that. Because I don't think my own brother knows that. And I tell him almost everything. Well, he probably does know, he always knows." She said the last sentence under her breath. I don't reply because I'm so shocked. I know her brother knows almost everything about her, she told him most of the truth today. I know she is hiding things from him. But once she opens up more she will tell him. I myself am a multi-billionaire, her father is the richest man in the world, and someone else is in second place, anonymously too, I have a suspicion it is Jasmine. She doesn't flail her money around showing off her wealth, yes she has built many homes. But she never brags about it. She has worked hard to where she has gotten to. She worked hard for her finances.

I stole and killed my way to the top, I fought unfairly to get on top, and I did not work hard. My first kill was when I was 12, and my next kill was two days later, My father made me kill almost every day after that until I turned 17. Then he shipped me off to an abandoned island for a training camp where they beat, torched, and forced themselves onto me. At 20 I killed each and every one of those fuckers and moved to Mane, got in contact with Jake, and  Marcos. Got them together and created a Secret Security System aka S.S.S. Starting out in a warehouse, I got to work on protecting the innocent, a year later we were blooming, and we were the best security team. We protected the president, the presidents daughter, and almost every famous person. We have taken down most of the trafficking ring. Jake is my right-hand man, and Marcos is the eyes and ears. I am the boss. Marcos the Mute is the most deadly, he hasn't spoken a word ever since I've known him. We don't know what made him not speak. I've known him sense he was 5, found him outside our compound Me and Jake took him under our wing. He can talk, but he won't, he doesn't sign, or use any form of communication. We can tell when he wants to speak, he speaks through body language. I look to my right and see Jasmine has fallen asleep I take off my jacket and place it on her body, we have an hour left of the drive and she needs her sleep.

I am still lost in thought when I see a black van speed up to the passenger window. Opens the window and starts shooting.

"JASMINE STAY DOWN!" I pull out my ak47 and start shooting at the driver, a van pulls to my side and starts shooting at me this time.

"SHIT,  we are boxed in Jasmine, someone really wants you dead, " I continue to shoot.

"OVER my dead body they do!" she pulls out her gun that I didn't even know she had it's a grey and turquoise with vines on the handle and a barrel. A fucking Cabot gun. The proper name is "The blue scorpion Cabot1911" it's rare. Costs about 4 mills. She pulls the trigger and nails the guy to her left straight in the head, then she aims for my window and shoots, hitting him between the eyes. She slumps back with the gun in her hand and opens her door and leans out and shoots through the windshield of the driver behind us killing him on the spot, then she leans forward and shoots the driver ahead of us and hits him in the head.

"I'd suggest you move so we don't get run over." She says pulling herself into the car and bucking herself reloading her gun and checking the surrounding, Satisfied with herself she slumps back and pulls the Jacket over her body, and closes her eyes. My mouth is open in shock.

"You just... 4 shots, and you didn't miss." Jasmine just laughs.

"Oh that, that's a normal Monday for me Rosen, now I know why people want me dead. But I'm a trained sniper." She pulls out her phone and calls someone.

"Matteo, 4 shooters on Highway 99 south, 4 black SUVs black out license plates, all dead, you know what to do." She says, pauses, and adds

"Thanks, you're the best." then she hangs up. And leans back to her seat and closes her eyes.

"You got a clean up crew to," I said with a laugh.

"Yep, been with me sense day one. Now let me sleep, I'm tired" She said laying back and closing her eyes.

Mabey she does know alot more than I let on. She shot and killed them with not as much as a flinch. A perfect shot to, be better than me. She knows her way around a knife, a gun. I wonder what else shes good at. She said this is a usual Monday, and that's crazy, I'm going to have to contact her previous bodyguard. To fill in the blanks. Because clearly, he was by her side. My cel phone rings.

"Jake, what's up."

"Don't whats up with me, I heard gun shots on the highway, is Jasmine ok." He said shuffling papers.

"Yes, she killed 'em all, now she's asleep we are almost home."

"She killed 'em all?" Jake asks

"Perfect shot to"

"Damn, ok so y'all are ok."

"Yep, I'll call you later once we get home."

"Good."

"Send us a new car, this one was hit. And we need new plates so we don't get any more trouble." I say

"Got it, it will be in an abandoned warehouse 5 miles north."
