Flaming Hearts.

Chapter seventeen

Antonio's POV

I have been starring at the freaking watch for two hours now as the morning sun light beams from my home office windows I sway from left to right in my rotating chair slowly twirling a pen with my fingers. I was anxiously waiting to see her today she said she'll be here today after visiting her mother to the hospital but she's taking so long as I sat quietly my phone buzzed and Marco's name popped up I sighed as I reached my phone and answered it immediately

" Yes! I answered

" Capo! We just received the shipment the men are unloading ready for supplying" he chimed

" Good,make sure every of our distributor gets their delivery"

" Sure! You come in the club today?

" I will later though, Any info on the man I asked you to find?

" Not yet but I hired the best men their on it, I also used my friend in the police department to give me some information they have on him, so it won't be long now before we get him"! He assured

" Good! Okay then see you later" I hanged up.

My eyes glanced at the watch again as I instantly stood up and walked out the office, quickly took the stairs down heading to
the door. As I pulled the door open a small figure crushed on my chest my eyes looked down at the innocent black eyes starring up at me I fought hard for a smirk to form on my lips as I pressed it on a thin line

" Am sorry, for-" she immediately stepped back

" It's okay, I thought you won't be coming today"?

" Why would you think that, I told you yesterday I would"!

" I know it's just it was running late so thought you changed your mind" I went back inside

" I know, am sorry it's just the subway was so full today" she replied with a polite voice

My eyes raked her body as she removed her coat and hang it together with her bag her black jeans exposed her curves perfectly I folded my hands as I licked my lips just starring at her is getting me hard already. She turned immediately and our eyes locked together I realized how nervously she smiled before she made her to the kitchen and immediately tied an apron around her small waist

" Are you hungry, What should I prepare for you?

"Gamberoni and bread with guava juice" I ordered

" Sure!

" How's your mother? I watched as her face fall and sadness took over

" Still unconscious the doctor there still observing her but her vitals are Okey" she breathed

" Well St Anne is one of the best hospitals in NY so she's in great hands"

"Yea, the  hospital bill though won't be pretty" she mumbled slowly

" Pardon! I asked her

" Nothing, I'll get your food ready! She smiled and walked further into the kitchen

I stood there for a minute realising that she's worried about the hospital bill . I got into my office and immediately took my phone and call Valerio

" Yea Capo ! He's exciting voice came in

" Listen I want you to pay a hospital bill at St Anne hospital a one month payment to a patient named Monica Johnson" I ordered

" Okeyyy, but why? He retorted

" Just do it Valerio! I hanged up just as I wanted to start working I heard a familiar voice downstairs .

I went downstairs finding Ivana standing in the living room with Maryjane

" Ivana what are you doing here? I walked up to her with a stern voice

" Daniel asked me to bring you something" she replied while her eyes threw daggers at Maryjane

" Since when do you that?

" Since today! Who's your lady friend? Her daring voice asked as she finally turned to look at me

" Maryjane is my personal chef! I told her with my voice filled with anger

"Oh! Well let's go talk in your office" she moved passed me

" You can just hand it to me right here, am sure you have other matters to attend"

" I do! But we can't talk business with the maid around? She smiled while looking at Maryjane who was busy in the kitchen but I was sure she heard it.

I sighed as I stormed up stairs with her on my tale. I shut the door as soon as we got in I grabbed both her arms and pulled her close to me

" What the hell was that! I roared at her face

" What the hell was what? She smiled

" Do you ever insult any of my employees again, do you understand me!

" Oh! Please what your being sentimental because I called your little chef a maid"! She broke free from my grip

" She's not a maid!

" She cooks and cleans Antonio! She is a fucking maid"

" Don't-

"Wait a minute I see what's happening here, your being so over protective of her because your fucking her!? She accused

" Does it bothers Ivana you? I stepped closer to her

" No! Because I know you can never get a woman who can take care of you like the I did " her hands slowly caressed my jawline down to my chest and slowly as she made her way to my member I caught her hand and yanked it off

" Well bad news for you, I don't care about you anymore, I don't think of you more so I don't love you !

I watched as her eyes grew darker and her lips pressed in a thin line " You' ll come back crawling to me Antonio" she whispered

" Give me the documents and get out of my house! I roared

She threw the the documents on the table as a knock came in

"Come in! I answered. Maryjane got in with a tray with food as she slowly placed it on the table

" Should I bring you anything Miss Ivana! She politely asked

" Ivana is just on her way out Maryjane no need"! I retorted

" I'll be seeing you soon Antonio! She said as her eyes glanced at Maryjane before she stormed off.

I turned at her as I moved close to where she was standing

" Don't mind her stupid comments she's a brat!

"It's okay" she chuckled softly
" Actually I was wondering if I could go home earlier so I could pass by the hospital "

" Yes sure, I can drop you off on my way to the office"

"No, am okay I'll take the cab"

" It's not a problem to me, I'll go get ready "

" But I -

I got out before she could say no I quickly dressed up then walked back to the office and grabbed my phone then went downstairs not to find her not around. I walked out and found Tyler at the lobby waiting for me

" Have you seen Maryjane?

" Yes Capo, she's outside waiting for you!

I made my way outside as the fresh air filled my lungs I adjusted my long black silk coat as me made our way to the parking lot area as I finally saw her back I smiled at the thought that she did not leave but my feet halted at the realization that she was talking to someone, a light skin man my jaw clenched at the sight of the two talking " who the fuck is that"! I mumbled.
