His Mafia Queen

Chapter 23

"What are you guys talking about?" I asked them, never showing them any reaction to what I just heard.

How the hell could they talk normally about disposing of a body just like that? And how come he kidnapped a man? is no one looking for that missing man? My head started to hurt thinking what have I got myself into?

I couldn't do anything right now. He lied to my face and I was not going to let it go. I will make him tell the truth on his own. Until then, I have to pretend that I didn't hear a thing they spoke.

I need to come up with a plan and try to confront him. As far as I know him, he is hiding the truth and doesn't want me knowing his dark secrets. And that if I leave him, he is going to find me. I need to find a solution.

God, how am I ever going to do that? I need to keep my friends safe. I need to keep Abby safe. That's my priority. I can't let him know that I am close to discovering his secrets already. He might show his true colours. What if he locks me away and I won't be able to meet my friends.

So I put on my game face. For now, I was going to act like I haven't heard them speak and let go off what I heard. I will be normal. I need some time to think and take any actions carefully. Wouldn't want to set him off.

"Don't tell me he was reprimanding you for yesterday!" I scowled at Caiden.

"No, why did you have to remind him? He actually forgot about that and you had to open your big mouth" Cam scolded me.

"Hey, I don't have a big mouth. You do, you idiot" I retorted back at him.

"Shut it. You couldn't keep your mouth close and now I am in trouble"

"Idiot, you need to shut up now. You're the one who's blabbering and not me"

We bickered back and forth while Caiden just stood there gaping at us, basically laughing at us.

"And you mister, stop laughing or you don't get to kiss me"

"You wouldn't" he argued.

"Try me" I raised my eyebrows, waiting for him to challenge me on this.

"Okay, I will stop laughing. Since we are on the topic, why don't you both talk to me about what happened yesterday?" he asked, more like demanded.

"Nope. I am not talking to you about that. And neither will he. Cam, don't you have someplace to be?" I asked him.

He just mouthed 'thank you'.

"And what are you trying to do? I thought you let it go. But here I see you grilling him with your questions? Too bad, if you keep pestering him about yesterday, I am sorry to say that you won't be getting any kisses" I threatened him.

"I think that even you're in no position to threaten me. Because, I was going to question you too" he replied, pulling me to him by my waist.

His arms circling my hips, holding me in place.

"But you said you'll let it go" I pouted.

He simply pecked my lips.

"Fine, I will not asking anything" he complied.

"Good" I pulled away from him.

"I am going to shower. I need to get ready. I am late already. How about this? You also go and get ready. We can have our breakfast on the way to office" I suggested.

"Sounds good" he replied and tried to kiss me, but I moved away.

"Get going dear" I winked at him and soon strolled into the bathroom, taking a huge breath thanking God that somehow I got away from him.

How am I going to keep avoiding him? He might suspect something is wrong. I sat down on the floor, my back to the door. I sighed.

The only time I got into a relationship, it had to be complicated.

"I really don't understand why you have to put on makeup. You are naturally beautiful" Caiden commented as he stood beside the vanity table in his room.

"It's not about making us look more beautiful. It's about gaining more confidence" I replied.

"Whatever. I can never understand women and their actions" he grumbled in response.

"You have other women in your life?" I squeaked out.

"What? Are you jealous?" he teased me.

"No" I replied, unsure of my answer.

"You sure about that?" he asked provokingly.

"Yes!" I snapped at him.

"Don't be angry kitten" he chuckled.

"Why are you laughing at me?" I scowled.

"It's fun to get you all roused up" he exclaimed.

"You were making fun of me?" I shrieked.

He simply laughed at me, making me gobsmacked.  His face looked so adorable. Man, I could look at him forever.

'Did you forget that he is a dangerous man'  my mind voiced out its concern.

'No' I retorted back.

"I am sorry. I was simply testing you if you would be jealous" he agreed.

"How dare you?" I asked him with my voice trembling at the end, making it feel like I would cry now.

"Shit, I am sorry" his voice faltered.

"I didn't know that it would offend you" he stammered, afraid I might breakdown any moment.

I was enjoying this, torturing him emotionally. Ha! I win.

I sniffed in response.

"Okay, I am sorry. I will do anything you say without any questions, but please don't cry. I don't think I can handle that" he pleaded.

"Really?"

"Yes, definitely" he agreed.

"Good. Now that is clear, you need to take me to McDonald's. I've been craving burger for a week" I spoke in my normal voice, reeling back.

"Wait. Does that mean you tricked me?" he uttered in disbelief.

"And you fell for that. Payback is a bitch" I boasted in happiness.

"You are such a good actress" he gave a remark.

"I know right. I could win the Oscar" I stated.

"How did I fall for that?" he muttered to himself.

"Don't know and don't care" I waved him.

I got ready. I wore a sundress, with light makeup and very minimum accessories. I grabbed my phone from the nightstand and waited for him to get hold of himself.

"You ready? I am starving" I complained.

"Let's go" he took my hand in his and pulled me out the room. We walked hand in hand to the foyer and on to the elevator which led us straight t the parking lot.

We settled in his car. Today he opted his XUV instead of his regular sports car. I was thankful for that. I was in no mood for speeding away.

While he drove us to the nearby Mcdonald's I worried about what happened in the morning. I need to come up with a proper plan. It needs to foolproof that he himself should confess to what he did. So that he wouldn't get an opportunity to get out of or change the story, blame someone else.
