HIS ASSASIN

Twenty Seven

ALEXIA-

I wondered where Damian had gone and why he was being so secretive about all that was happening.

I decided to brush the matter to the side while I let myself finally calm down.

Today had been a series of very difficult events and the only thing I wanted to do was sleep. But I wanted to see him as well, I could never put him to rest in my mind no matter how hard I tried.

ALEXIA-

"Hey baby." I woke up to the sound of Damian's voice in my ear. After I had gotten ready for bed I passed out immediately from exhaustion. "Hey."

"How are you?" He asked as he looked down on me. "I'm okay, are you okay?"

"I'm good as long as you are." I didn't know what to say to him, I wanted so badly to bring up what my brother had told me yesterday but I couldn't. If it was the case that he was speaking g with the Russians then I wasn't safe, and I didn't want him to know that I knew that. If it wasn't true then nothing should come up on the phone and all should be good. "What the fuck happened yesterday, Carlson wasn't meant to be there." I was still irritated by being caught so off guard.

"I didn't expect him to go, he isn't the type to attend those events and he usually makes Killian go for him." Well there was nothing I could do about that then.

"Is Carlson dead?" I know that he got shot but there were ambulances by the time he had been injured, he could have easily gotten help.

Taking a deep breath he spoke, "I don't know, we haven't heard anything but I hope the fucker is."

"So do I." It would make things a lot easier.

"We have Noah's birthday to go to today, it starts at 4pm so we have some time." I almost asked who that was before I remembered that Markus and Eliza had a child together. But damn, after what happened at dinner I wasn't even sure if she wanted me to go, I'd never spiked to the kid in my life so she had more than enough reason to stop me from going.

But I wasn't sure if he knew about the argument and I didn't want to cause any unnecessary drama, I had already handled it and didn't need to stir up the pot any further. "Are you sure she wants me to go, I don't really know the kid."

"Yeah, even if she didn't she doesn't really have a choice. As much as it's a kid's party they have very important parents, parents who would question why my wife wasn't there." Well I guess there was no avoiding it. I would show up and I guess what happened after that was up to anyone. "I need one of your accounts to move more stuff from the Irish, they're in turmoil right now."

"I'll give you the details." I didn't mind giving him the account, it was bound to happen and after yesterday we needed a big clean up. I had a lot more money in many other forms aside from those accounts. "Later, for now, how about you bend over for me." He spoke lowly into the nape of my neck, "Hm, how about you get on your knees for me?" He laughed at my resistance and spoke seductively to me once more. "Why so scared to submit baby, be brave."

"I am brave, just when I'm on top." He chuckled once again. "You'll submit to me baby."

"I will?"

"Mhm, you have to trust me."

"I do trust you, I just like control."
