Heir to the Throne

Chapter 13 "Ballgame"

As I sit at the cafe waiting for Kira to arrive. I can't help, but relive last night. The memory of underboss and I kissing keeps replaying in my mind since I awoke this morning. Our kiss was so gentle and pure in the oddest way. I expected for him to kiss me urgently wanting to get under my clothes as quick as possible, but it wasn't like that at all. After our first kiss underboss broke the kiss softly giving us both a break to gasp for air. I thought after that kiss we were going to call it a night no longer daring to share that passionate kiss again. However, that was not the case.

If I had to count the amount of times we kissed I wouldn't know what to tell you. I completely lost count as crazy as that sounds. Underboss is a talented kisser each kiss of his made me crave him even more. We kissed all night from the strip club to the backseat of the Uber driver's car to the front of his home until we got inside. I thought last night was going to be the night I was going to be pushed into sleeping with him, but it wasn't. After having our intense make out session underboss excuses himself sending us both to bed, which honestly left me a bit sadden. It's as if I wanted more, which is quite shocking for me

"Amoret," Kira's voice breaks away my thoughts as I smile embracing her presence. Hugging her tight I'm glad to see her reminding me a bit of home from what I have back in Russia.

"I miss you," I truthfully say pulling back from the hug seeing those beautiful forest green eyes of hers.

"Me too," she smiles as we both take a seat.

"You seem different," Kira says as she warily observes me.

"How?," I respond furrowing my brows in confusion.

"You have this glow in your eyes. Whatever it is keep it," she winks. I lightly chuckle not really having a clue to the glow she claims I have. I haven't done anything different.

"Anyways, we have to make this quick before Mr. Underboss awakes," I steer the subject wanting to get this meeting out of the way as soon as possible. I took advantage on meeting Kira for a quick coffee since underboss sent his men away last night. After this opportunity I'm sure I won't have another due to being watched.

"Of course, well Atalia seems to be a college drop out. Spoiled rich принцесса of a single parent mommy. There's no connection between her and the Castillos. She's just a booty call from what my sources have mentioned," Kira informs me. Typical of Atalia in a way I had a feeling by the way she carries herself. I'm surprised that underboss would go for someone like that though. He seems like the type to be interested in a women with brains, but I guess I was wrong.

"I beat that princess ass last night," I say looking at Kira the both us staring at one another before bursting into laughter.

"Let me guess she's definitely a problem when it comes to you and the underboss?," Kira giggles

"She's completely obsessed with him. I can only hope after last night she backs off, so I can have less distractions," I say.

"Well you know it only takes one call to permanently get rid of that distraction," Kira winks finding this very amusing.

"I don't want to be like my father," I truthfully say shutting down such an idea. Kira and I are different, which I feel balances our friendship quite perfectly. Kira is a complete mobster queen that doesn't think twice about terminating anyone that's a threat or in her way. Unlike me I believe in power for good and administering differently.

"You don't have to do a thing that's why you got me," Kira grins.

"Kira, you know exactly what I mean," I sternly say.

"Fine, I know... any who, is it true? Is Castillo Junior жарко?," Kira eyes sparkle with curiosity. I smile only giving away the answer immediately.

"He's hot," I admittedly say feeling my cheeks redden. This is the first time since I met him that I say it out loud.

"Please tell me you slept with him already?," Kira amusingly says.

"No, may I remind you I'm still a virgin. However, last night we made out all night," I giggle covering my face with my hands not wanting to show how cheesy I look at this moment.

"Woah Amoret you've definitely been keeping busy and loosening up," Kira teases.

"Anyways, what's been going on back home?," I steer the subject wanting to get straight to what I really came here for.

Kira takes in a deep breathe before responding, "Romanov is getting inpatient with your lack of progress . As for Graudyn he's stealing arms from one of Castillo's warehouses as we speak."

"He's what? This is not going to help me out in gaining underboss's trust," I angrily say.

"You know what Graudyn advises your father goes. If I were you I would operate differently."

"Exactly how differently?," I raise a brow needing advise. Underboss isn't an easy man to work with. If I want things to start sailing already I need to make my own plan since the original plan seems to not be working with my lack of progress.

"Tell him exactly your circumstances, but not the deal. This is how you're going to play him into trusting you by telling him the truth. Same goal just different ballgame," Kira confidently explains. I take a moment to grasp everything. Kira is right telling underboss the truth will open a chance for trust because the Castillos will consider me as an informant rather than an enemy.

"You're a fucking genius," I say loving this new plan that is much more easier to play. Kira nods in agreement. Seeing the time on the cafe's wall I realize I must leave before ruining my chances of even being able to put this play into affect.

"I have to go," I hurriedly utter.

"No matter what happens Amoret. Remember you must deliver or else you know the consequence," Kira reminds me.

"I know no need for that," I respond saying my goodbyes to her as I leave.

Rushing through the front door placing underboss's keys on the counter quietly. I make my way to his bedroom ready to set this new plan into affect. For some reason, I feel the urge to spill it, which wouldn't be the right thing to do in all cases, but in this case I get exactly that while still operating the plan. Knocking lightly on the door I wait for a response I never receive. I then turn the doorknob slowly opening the door. Once the door is wide open I see no sign of the underboss until I hear the shower only confirming that he's taking a shower.

I decide to let myself in taking advantage to observe his bedroom. His walls consist of gray as his furniture consists of white marble. Who would of known Mr. underboss is luxurious with a hint of modern. On his nightstands I see a family picture and on the other a picture with Israel at a strip club. This causes me to let out a chuckle due to the naked women in the background.

"What are you doing in here?," underboss utters catching me by surprise.

"I'm ready to talk," I nervously say not knowing how he'll react after I tell him the truth. He creases his dark brows a bit confused, yet surprised at the same time.

"About?," he asks as he approaches me. I take a moment to inhale some air exhaling it ready to have this talk just like Kira suggested. I have no clue what will happen after this and how he's going to take all of this. This ballgame can be a success or a total fail, but either way I'm looking at a deadline, so it's worth a try.

"The truth about this arranged marriage."
