Knight in shining armour more like Mafia on tailored suit

Chapter 5

XAVIER'S P.O.V

Walking along the dark corridor where the paint from the walls were chipping and the doors were made of steel I reached the end of the hall were the number 101 was imprinted on the door as I motioned one of the guards to open the heaving door. Care fully watching his every move as he unlocked the door with a special key he swung the door open reveling a dark room with a chair in the middle that had a dark haired guy hand cuffed to it and blinded by the piece of black fabric tied around his head covering his eyes. I entered turning the light on that was above the mans head as I waited for Antonio to arrive to beginning our 'work'.

The door was once again opened with Antonio standing there with his shirt untucked from his dress pants and his tie undone laying around his neck with messy sex hair. It was clear that he was in the middle of sex while I had informed him about catching one of the many people that have wronged us and disappeared, but I knew our 'work' was more important than getting it on with some random woman that he had brought home to please himself. You see Antonio and I we aren't players but we do every once and a while bring some random girl to please ourselves and after all we are grown men with needs but unlike him I'm not waiting for that perfect woman as I believe that all women are after my wealth as it has been proven time and time again. Enough of that lets get back on topic.

He gave me a slight nod and quickly fixed his tie then turned to face me again waiting for what I would say and how I wanted this man dealt with.

"I will give you the pleasure of 'dealing' with this man but if possible find out any useful info about anything that might help the mission." I watched as an evil smirk made it's way on his face before I left the dimly light room.

As I was a few feet away I heard the screams of agony coming from the room I just left bringing a smirk to my face remembering my fathers first words to me before training me to take his place.

"Always remember this son, no man shall go unpunished for messing with 'The Kings'."

Once I had left the basement I went straight to my fathers office to talk about my current mission that involves the Tigers like what sort of name is that, but don't be fooled they are sick bastards and they always seem to want to mess with us. Key point is that it never works out. Snapping out of my thoughts I stand in front of my fathers office doors knocking and waiting to hear his voice.

"Come in" His voice sounds irritated. That can't be good.

Upon entering the room I see his normally clean desk with papers every were and his tie lose around his neck with the top two buttons undone, running his fingers ruffly through his black hair desheviling it further. He looks up at me from his computer screen and begins to talk.

"I found out what they are trying to do to us." He states, his voice strained but he quickly regains composer and speaks again.

"They are trying to find out your and your mothers identities, so you better find the little fucker that is at hiding your school" He states furious, and I should know because this man never swears unless people mess with the family.

"Yes father" Quickly leaving the room I go to my own office.

Reaching my desk at the other end of the room I plop down on my leather seat and run my fingers through my once neat hair. Trying to think back to whom in my high school could be working with the Tigers but instead my thoughts go back to Diana. At first I thought it was her but you can clearly see she tries to avoid me which they wouldn't do. Key word 'try', yeah it's pretty funny watching her get pissed off by me following her around especially when Antonio and I decided to sit with her and Elana. Also if I didn't know any better I think Antonio has a thing for Elana as normally he would just flirt with girls and bed them then leave and during this process he will never be nice or help a girl but with Elana it's let me hold your books, let me help you with this. I can tell he likes her because we Night's and Dante's treat our women like queens when we find the right one. Realising my mistake I quickly scold myself for thinking about that while I should be looking for the idiot who is trying to ruin our mafia.

Taking off my suit jacket I roll up my sleeves to just under my tie, then take out my laptop trying to find more information about Diana as she seems suspicious considering I can't find out anything about her other than what she told the school. It's been irritating not knowing anything about her and Antonio seems to be having the same issue with Elana but it's easier with her. The only way Diana would be able to hide from the mafia was if she was an assassin but one from the mysterious League but their a myth so that's out of the question. An hour rolls by and I still don't have anything so I decide to go to the gym to let off some steam. I inform my mother about where I am going so that she doesn't get worried before leaving to the public gym as I didn't want to use my own gym.

While working out I decide to take off my top so that it doesn't reek of sweat later but as I do so I can see all the girls eyes travel to my eight pack which for some reason just irritates me further until I notice her. There she was, Diana in the darkest corner of the room in the bet up old boxing ring wearing a black hoodie with black leggings and her usual combat boots by herself. Doing the only reasonable thing I pick up my top and fling it over my shoulder then walk over to her, and once I reach there I finally speak resting on the ring.

"Didn't know you could fight and nice to see your hair up princess." Her head flicks over to my way before she comes over.

Bringing her phone out of the pocket of her hoodie typing something on it before she turned it to face me. "You can call me anything but that god forsaken word" It read.

"Okay cupcake."

She typed on her phone again. "Better. . . but still shit". I just chuckled in response.

"Can I spar with you cupcake?" While she nodded I stepped into the ring but noticed she was looking behind me trying not to laugh.

"What?" She just pointed behind me and I turned around to see girls glaring at her as if she took what's theirs before I joined in laughing with her.

Once we stopped laughing we started sparing and damn was she good, but I could tell she was going slightly easy on me as she was hardly sweating. When we stopped for a rest we were both breathing slightly heavy and were sweating but I think it was because she wore a hoodie in summer. Opening a water bottle she took a sip before handing it to me so I quickly gulped back half of it as I was thirsty.

"You know we just shared an indirect kiss." She just rolled her eyes before giving me a look that said. "Are you five?"

Just when I was about to respond her phone went off. I watched as she went on her phone and read the message and her eyes went wide and her face merged into one of complete anger. Quickly responding she sent the message before typing again and faced the phone toward me.

"I have to go and pick up Elana. Sorry for the last minute timing."

"It's alright cupcake go get your friend, but see you at school." Smiling she mouthed sorry at me before picking up her black bag while I just sat their stunned.

She just smiled at me and this time it reached her eyes. . .

I won't be updating daily but I will update as much as possible throughout the passing weeks also this story will start to get progressively more interesting with the following chapters. I also won't be doing a lot of Xavier's point of view as it is just to add more to Diana's story and if he seems to be a bit soft don't worry you will find that he really isn't unless to those who mean some thing to him.

Also nice to know that Diana is constantly on Xavier's mind.
