(COMPLETE) The Bastard and The King

Chapter 1

The music was blaring in my ears as I walked with my freshly made coffee through the crowd trying not to spill it.

As I reached the top of the stairs that lead to my office I looked down at the club where I could see everything and everyone. My mind trailed back to when I first got this club from my father for my 21st birthday.
Not something that every kid gets but I was happy and excited. I could see the potential the space had.

But everything came at a cost in this family.
“Ma’am” said Baba my bodyguard while opening the office door for me to enter away from the music and the eyes.

“Thanx Baba” I said while I walked in and he closed the door behind me.

(Baba)

Many people were scared of Baba due to his built and authority voice and also the way that he would shoot your ass before thinking twice. This is why he was my bodyguard. It was also the only person that my dad would trust around me. Baba was also very attractive. Not my slice of pie but he had the girls fall at his feet. Let’s just say he had a different girl with him each night. I didn’t like it but it was his choice. He isn’t stupid and knows the consequences that come with this decision.

I didn’t interfere in his life and he protected mine. That was all that we needed to know.
A few hours went by where I did the paperwork and worked out salaries when there came to knocks at my office door.
“Yes” I said preoccupied with the paperwork.
“Ma’am” Baba said trying to get my attention. I looked up and he had an irritated look on his face. “He’s here again” he said. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath knowing exactly who he was talking about.

“Let him in” I said opening my eyes again. A few minutes passed and the door opened without a knock.
“Well good evening there Ann Marie” came that voice that I did not want to hear. This evening was good until he showed up.

I took a deep breath and look up at the man who was the most irritating person on this planet. “Alexander. What can I do for you tonight?” I said with sarcasm lacing my voice.

(Alexander Stone)

He flopped down on the leather couch that I had in my office and gave me a big ass grin. “Oh you know what I want from you Ann Marie”
I looked at him and then back down to my paperwork. “No” I said with authority. It’s been 6 months that he has been trying to get ownership of half of this club and it’s been 6 months where I said no. Every Friday evening he would come here and ask me. When I said no he would go downstairs, get extremely drunk and grab a girl to one of the private rooms at the back. He would also be the last to leave the club because he would be so drunk that I have to kick him out in order for us to close. 

He let out a light chuckle and stood up from the couch making his way over to my desk. He planted his ass right next to me on the desk. “I will grow on you” he said. I stood up to get away from him “I prefer cancer “I said while putting away the file I was busy with and taking a new one.

He stood up and walked to the door. “Blonde, brunette or red head tonight?” I questioned more as a joke of his player ways.
He turned around with his hand still on the door and smiled at me. “You look beautiful tonight Ann Marie. “ He opened the door and left.

Throught the night Baba updated me on Alexander’s activities. Surprisingly he didn’t take a girl to the back tonight. He only had a few drinks and left. I wonder what is going on. He had a routine with me every Friday night for the past 6 months , he wouldn’t change that if something isn’t going on
.
I put that in the back of my mind because it was 3 am and it was time for us to lock up and go home. We usually close at around 1 am but due to it being Friday night it was busy. I was tired and my feet hurt, in fact everything hurt. Sitting in a chair the whole day and night wasn’t healthy and had it’s toll on my body sometimes.

I put on my coat, gathered my things and made my way out the club with Baba in front of me. Baba helped me inside the car at the back and we made our way to my house.

When we arrived home, Baba parked the car in the garage. I waited for him to lock up before we made our way into the house.
As part of being my bodyguard Baba has to live with me inside the house in case of any attacks. He had his own room with a bathroom. I went to the fridge to get out the food Mara made earlier and heated it up. When it was done I grabbed a fork and sat on the kitchen counter.

A few minutes later Baba came into the kitchen and took a bottle of water from the fridge and made me a cup of coffee. He was now changed into a plain white t shirt and black sweats.
“No girl tonight?” I asked.
“She’s on her way” came his voice softly like he was ashamed about me knowing of his one night stands. He turned around and put my coffee next to me. He stood in front of me against the counter.
“I find it very strange that Alexander wasn’t on his usual track tonight” he said. So I wasn’t the only one who saw the change.

“You saw that too huh?” I finished my food and jumped off the counter putting my dishes in the sink. “It makes me worry a bit” I said taking my coffee and walking towards my room when the bell rang at the front door.

I stopped and smiled at Baba “Your girl is here” I said making love eyes.
He laughed at me and went to open the door. Before the girl could see me I closed my bedroom door.

I quickly chugged down my coffee and made my way to the bathroom.
After my shower I dried my hair and got into bed knowing that in exactly hours I needed to be up and at work once again.
