Rapacious Lover

Chapter 21:

[Unedited]

(Gigi)

"Thank you for the date." I said as we walked out the restaurant. "I had a nice time."

He rolled his eyes. "You forced me." He replied in a clipped tone.

"I didn't force you..." I drawled. "I just gave you an ultimatum and you chose a date, that was all your free will." I argued back weakly, knowing I was wrong.

I may or not have said he could date me or I'll tell my brothers he tried to touch me inappropriately. To which he obviously picked the first one since he knows what my brothers are capable of. I know that it was wrong to do but my feeling were so deep for him, but sadly he doesn't feel the same.

He scoffed but didnt say anything further. We continued to walk to the car park in a comfortable silence. My face scrunched up in confusion as I saw my noticeable large black and gold Range Rover still parked in the same spot and position I left it.

I unhooked my hand from Draven and went to walk to my car. I was halted when he grabbed onto my wrist and tugged me. "My car is over there." He directed, pulling me in the opposite direction of mine.

I turned back to look at him and tried to pull away from him, but there was no avail. "Yeah, but mine is over there." I pointed to the large vehicle at the far end of the parking lot.

He raised an eyebrow. "But you said your friend took yours."

I nodded, still trying to get out his tighten grip. "She did but it's still here." I said in distant a manor, not really paying attention to him. Panic began to rise rapidly into my heart. Maybe she felt to sick too drive so she's lying in the back seat.... but she would have called me. What if she passed out. The thoughts accelerated inside my head as they replayed the worst outcome of Kayani absence. My breaths came out in short gasps and I felt like I would black out at any given moment.

I twisted my hand away from him and began to run towards the car. Again his stopped me by grabbing hold of my waist pulled me towards him. "Attends calme-toi, ma bella." He coaxed softly. (Calm down my beauty). He turned me around and softly pressed his lips against mine making me melt into his embrace, before tracing my jawline with his lips until his got to my ears. "Look behind my shoulder, you'll see three men in black and two we men in a red and gold dress." I got snapped out the the haze and did what I was told.

I couldn't hold back the smile that slowly widen on my face, but I had to focus on Kayani. I was shocked that he could get me under control so easily especially since it was Kayani life is involved.

"I see them." I said. There was two welcome and men that seemed to be on a double date. They were walking slowly in our direction trying to act unsuspicious, however they were massively failing as their eyes stuck to us and followed in movement we made.

"They've been following us since we exited the restaurant." He added, rubbing my lower back gently.

I nodded. "I noticed." I admitted nonchalantly. I watched as the walked past me and went to the car opposite mine. If they were spies they were doing a very bad jog

He stepped back with his hands still on my shoulders. "Why didn't you say anything?" He questioned.

I shrugged. "Didn't think they were anything to worry about. Judging by how they look and the tattoo, they're ex marine just joined the mafia they are easy targets to kill."

"Let's go to you car then." He suggested, dropping his hand from my shoulder to holding my hand. I nodded and walked to my car with him, the two couples got on our heels. My panic sky rocketed when I saw my keys next to the wheel. My body began to shake as my thought turned to the worst. "Gigi what's wrong?" Draven asked worriedly.
