Mi Amore

Chapter 45-Grayson

I wake to my alarm clock blaring in my ear, making me regret ever leaving Anastasia.I sit up and walk to my bathroom before turning on the shower.I strip all my clothes off before getting in the shower.I begin washing my body before rinsing my face.I turn off the shower and walk out the shower.I get my towel and dry my body before drying my body.I pick up my lotion and put some on my hands before thoroughly rubbing my face and body.I put water on my hands and put it in my hair to slick it back.

Once I'm done, I walk to my closet to pick some clothes out.I take out boxers,a black turtleneck,black loafers and my work suit.I wear all my clothes and spray some of my Doir Savage perfume all over my clothes.I walk back over to my bed and take my silver Rolex from the bedside.I walk to the cabinet beside the one for bedding and open the safe.I take out my gold Rolex and gently set the silver one in.I close and lock the safe before closing the cabinet as well.I slip on my watch and make my way to the dungeons.

I get there and see Esmelane sobbing on the floor."Oh,shut the fuck up"I say,feeling annoyed by that voice of hers."Baby!You're back"She says,jumping up."I'm not your fucking baby.Now you will sit down.Now.There is someone who wants to finish you off,so enjoy the last of your peace while it lasts."I say,leaving.I walk upstairs and to my garage.I get a key from the counter on the table in the corner and unlock the car.I walk over to my Audi Rs8 and get in.I get in the car,starting the car.I speed straight to the Mafia Mansion,ignoring all the speed limits.

Once I get there, I see absolutely no one there,I shrug it off and walk to my office.I walk to my desk and sit down.I find an envelope labeled 'Mr Da La Renta'.I open the letter and begin reading the invitation.

Hello!

It is with great happiness that we are announcing our annual Mafia Ball!

Please bring a plus one!The more the merrier!

Farewell!

Well, that was very jumpy for an invitation to the ball,nevertheless, I already have an idea of who to bring with me.I tuck the letter back in the envelope and put it in the drawer besides my gun.I close the drawer before I pull open the drawer beneath it and take out the inventory reports.I wear my glasses and get started with my work.

♤three hours later(10:00am)♤

I take off my glasses and glance at my watch before standing up.I walk out of my office over to Anastasias before I knock on the door."Enter,"I hear her voice say.I open the door and find the same two women on the chairs opposite Anastasias."Why, hello there, ladies.I was just coming to notify you all on a thing I have in my basement."I say."Is it Esmelane the ladro di uomini?"Anastasia asks."Unfortunately, it is her,"I say."Well, I don't want to touch that thing,so if you want,it's is there, but if not, I'll get one of my men to do-I'm in,"Annabelle cuts me."Same,"Alison says."Well, I guess I'm in too,"Anastasia says."Okay then.Call me when you're ready to go.Farewell,"I say,before walking out of the office softly shutting the door behind me.

I walk to my car and get in before starting the car.I drive to my favorite steakhouse to have a medium rare steak.

I arrive and park the car in the executives'  parking.I get out of the car and walk into the restaurant."Ah,you have come to visit us, Mr Da La Renta,"a voice says."Yes,I have once again, Cato,"I say,as the buff man comes out.I give him a handshake before he clicks at a waitress and waves her over."Get this gentlemen a medium rare steak and our finest whiskey,"he says."Otherwise, how's Amelia and your kids?"I ask."No,they're all good,but how did you know?"He asks."My girl told me about the kids and Amelia,"I say."Your girl is Anastasia?Amelia did mention that she got someone, "he says.I nod as he leads me to the VIP room, which is the back.

"Treat her well, bro.Shes a keeper for sure,"he says,putting his hand on my shoulder."Thanks, Cato,"I say,nodding with appreciation.I sit down at the table and pull out my wallet.I take out five hundred dollars and hand it to Cato."Here, Cato,"I say."Mr Grayson,I do not want any of your money.Keep it,don't worry about me or any of the costs here,"He says,shoving it back in my hand."I mean it,Cato.You never let me pay for anything,"I say,shoving the money back in his hand."I'll take it this time, Grayson,"he says,sighing."Finally,Cato.You're always rejecting my payments,"I say,the waitress coming in with my steak and whiskey.She places them in front of me before she leaves."Farewell, Mr Grayson,"he says,leaving me alone with the juicy steak in front of me.I eat the delicious steak and slowly sip my whiskey before standing up.

♤12:00 am♤

I wipe my mouth and hands on a cloth before I walk out of the restaurant.I get to my car and get in before speeding back to the Mafia Mansion.

I get there and park the car before walking back inside.I walk straight to Anastasias office and knock."Enter,"I hear Anastasias voice call.I enter and find them waiting for me."Let's go already,"Anna says."After you ladies then,"I say,moving aside.Annabelle and Alison make their way out before Anastasia pecks me on the cheek and follows them.I walk out behind them and lead them to my car.I open and close their doors after they get in and head to my side.I get in and start the car,before speeding to my house.

Once we get to my house, I park the car before opening their doors once more.We all walk into the house when I see Dimitri wailing in the dining room.He looks up at us with tears in his eyes and stands up."C-Chef,I need a little money, please."He sobs."Dimitri,I'm not giving you anything.It was your choice to join forces against me, so no.Now get out my house,"I say,feeling annoyed."What about you, gir-Dimitri, I have a gun in my pocket, and if you don't leave, there will be a bullet in your head"I cut him off.He leaves and I continue leading the ladies downstairs to the dungeons."There she is,in the first dungeon,"I say,pointing to it."I'll leave you guys to it,"I say, leaving.I walk up to my home office and continue with my work.

♤four hours later(16:00 pm)♤

I hear a knock bringing me back from deep concentration before my mind rushes back to the blood curdling scream I heard a few hours back."Enter,"I say.The ladies walk back in and sit on the couches."Are you ladies ready to go home?"I ask."Yeah,I'm pretty hungry, though,"Annabelle says."And what is it you would like to eat?"I ask."Steak from the steakhouse near the Mafia Mansion,"Anastasia says."Let's go then."I say,standing.I take my glasses and wear them before following them out.

We get downstairs and go outside to the car.I open and close their doors before walking to my side and getting in.I turn on the car and speed to the steakhouse.

Once we arrive, I park and open their doors once more.I walk them into the steakhouse before I take Anastasias hand.I take out my wallet and give her my black card."You know we have money, right?"She says,chuckling."Yeah,I know.I just have something to take care of,"I say.She pecks my cheek and walks in the busy restaurant.I walk back outside to my car and get in.I speed to the cemetery to tell Mama and Papa my most recent plan.

I arrive, and I walk to the neatly placed graves."Bonjour Mama et Papa.I want to propose to Anastasia Athena Romeo.She is the one and only woman I've ever needed,but now I have her, and I'm never letting her go.I'll bring her to you soon when I have already proposed to her.Merci"I say,leaving with a plan set in my mind.I walk back to my car and get in, speeding to the steakhouse.

Just as I park the car, the ladies come out of the restaurant wasted."Grayson,hey!"Anastasia slurs."Hey.lets get you all home."I say,taking them one-by-one into the car.Once I'm done helping them, I get into the car.I drive them at a decent pace so they don't get car sick or anything serious.

Once we arrive at their house and I walk
each one of them on the couch."Have you ladies eaten anything at all?"I ask."Yeah,we did, and here's your card.Thank you,"Anastasia says,handing me my card.I pocket the card,as Annabelle and Alison walk up to their rooms."Don't forget to lock your doors,"I say, walking towards the door."Oh and Grayson?"She says."Yes?"I say,looking back at her."I love you,"she says."I love you too,Pixie.Farewell love,"I say,walking out.I walk to my car and get in before speeding to my house.

I get there and walk up to my room.I walk to the bathroom and take off my clothes.I turn on the shower and wash my body.I turn off the water and get out,drying off.I wrap a towel around my waist and walk to my closet.I take out boxers,black joggers and a long sleeve t-shirt.I wear my clothes before walking to my bed.I get in bed and relax after a long day.
