"I do not love you and I don't want you anywhere near me. You are merely a business deal that will make me and my mafia more powerful" Vincenzo scorns as he roughly grips my chin so I c...
Since you took your love away I go out every night and sleep all day Since you took your love away — — — Jaxon's pov: One of the strippers twirls around the pole, the limited clothing showcasing her body. I catch her eyes as she turns upside down.
She was gorgeous but she didn't compare to Lexi. I wish that she wasn't so selfless and would run away with me.
I had loved her since I was 10 and giving her up was horrible especially to Vincenzo who had no respect for women and was known for having a new girl every night.
The way she stares at Vincenzo when they're together tears me apart. Her eyes filled with lust and desire for him when she barely even knew him. She had never looked at me like that.
He didn't love her the way I do. If he hurts a single hair on her precious head I would murder him.
She was my best friend and I would do anything for her. She was perfect in every way and she doesn't even know it.
Her smile could bright up the whole room and cheer everyone up. The way her brown eyes sparkled with excitement when she saw chocolate cake and her laugh drew everyone in.
Everyone who lays their eyes on her fall for her. The effect she has on everyone is extraordinarily and she is completely oblivious which makes her even better.
I down the glass of whiskey and look around the room. Ryder had opened this club a few years ago and it was a success.
He was very strict on his rules about the girls and made sure they were all protected. I had helped run a workshop when it opened on what to do if someone tries to go further then they're allowed.
Nico is sat in the corner booth with a dancer sitting on his lap. I knew that they both had a crush on one another but he didn't want to bring her into this world.
When he came into the club she would abandon whoever she was with and immediately sit on his lap.
Sat next to him was Vincenzo and his second hand, Angelo Catalona. I don't know what Vincenzo was doing here if I had Alexa as my fiancé I wouldn't leave her side.
As if he senses I'm staring, Vincenzo smirks at me and waves me over. Not having much choice know he knows I'm here, I stride across the room and sit beside Nico who was completely ignoring everyone but Hayley.
"Jaxon I didn't know you were here, we were just talking about Alexa. She's going dressing shopping tomorrow for a wedding dress. I am looking forward to our wedding night maybe you could give me some tips on what she's like in bed" he says in a mocking manner, lowering his voice on the last sentence so Nico didn't hear him.
He must know about mine and Lexi's relationship otherwise he wouldn't be doing this.
"I know she messaged me about it this afternoon. She was asking what sort of dress would be best" I respond confidently, ignoring the end of the sentence. Not giving him the satisfaction of getting to me.
"Hmmm that's odd she was with me this afternoon and I don't remember her messaging you" he hums and I just smile smugly.
"Oh she messaged me and she didn't mention you at all. In fact I better go as I'm going to visit her for a movie night" I lie as I grab my coat and walk out.
Happiness coursing through me as I watch Vincenzo's grip on his glass tighten and him gesture over one of the dancers.
I open the door and jump into my car before driving to the Castillo mansion. — — — Alexandria pov:
The knock came quietly first from outside and then there was silence. I pull my duvet around my body and walk over to my window.
Jax is sat beaming at me from behind the glass. I quickly unlatch the window and usher him inside.
"Hey what are you doing here? Babbo's next door" I hiss as I sort out the duvet and lay back down.
"Your my best friend and I saw this great movie so I thought that we could watch it" he smiles, lying beside me before reaching over me to grab the Xbox remote.
"What if someone finds out that you're here?I'm getting married in less then a week Jax" I sigh as I pull my lacy camisole down slightly so it covered my stomach.
"Vincenzo already knows I'm here. I told him when I saw him at the strip club and he didn't say anything about it. However, he was about to spend sometime with a dancer" He shrugs after he puts on the film.
The new information shocks me as he told me he had a business meeting tonight after that dickhead left me hot and flustered outside my house. My face heats up as I think about the limo ride. I never felt like that before about anyone and it confuses me.
"Hey are you ok?" Jax queries as he looks at my crimson face. I quickly nod and look up at the TV screen where a group of teenagers stood in a circle.
"So that's why your here... Jax I don't need your pity when I signed up for the marriage I knew about his reputation with women. I just hope he's careful and doesn't let on he's sleeping around. "
"Its not alright, Lexi, you deserve someone who will be loyal and sacrifice everything to make sure your safe and happy. You deserve the world and not a fiancé who is a complete jackass" he argues and I just roll my eyes.
"Lets just watch the movie" I whisper in defeat as I rest my head on his chest. He gently kisses the top of my head after whispering a small apology which I pretend I didn't hear. — — —
