Escaping from the captive of her terrible boyfriend, Jane presumed she could start afresh. Be happy and forget about the past. Little did she know that escaping from her boyfriend would lead to the beginning of disaster. She was the price to pay for her father's debts, but instead she was auctioned to a Mafia. Alexander, the ruthless Mafia Lord, always played his cards right. Killing two birds with one stone. 80 million dollars was worth risking to acquire the club and the unexpected lot. But what if innocent Jane wasn't just an auctioned item but also the price for a debt owned to the Mafia Lord.

Pria bernama Jean itu tak mengatakan apapun. Dia sibuk menatap layar laptopnya dalam diam. Toh dia juga bingung harus menjawab apa. Sebab ini, bukan pertama kalinya Sang istri ijin untuk pulang terlambat. Bahkan, dia tak ingat ini permohonannya yang ke berapa. Elisha yang sibuk mengoleskan Skin Care Routinenya langsung menengok ke arah sang suami yang duduk bersandar di kepala ranjang. Diamnya pria 30 tahun itu tentu saja membuatnya resah. "Mas!" Ia menatap pria itu, "Kok kamu diem aja? Kamu ngasih ijin kan?" tanya perempuan dengan gaun tidur berbahan satin itu sedikit penekanan. Jean hanya mendengus. "Terus aku harus jawab apa? Ngelarang juga mustahil kan? Toh kamu nggak akan pernah nurut." Jawaban ketus suaminya membuat Elisha jengah. Jika sudah seperti ini pasti ujung-ujungnya hanyalah pertengkaran saja. "Ya gimana pun juga, aku kan butuh restu kamu Mas. Biar aku kerjanya nggak kepikiran. Gitu lho." Elisha merapikan tutup skincare miliknya dan berjalan mendekati Jean Sang suami. "Kan aku kerja juga demi keluarga kita." Jean masih memfokuskan kedua matanya ke arah monitor. Pura-pura tidak melihat gerakan istrinya. Kata-kata Elisha seolah mengingatkan dirinya dengan kebodohannya beberapa bulan yang lalu. Saat ia meminta istrinya itu untuk bekerja, membantu perekonomian keluarga mereka. Dan sekarang, ia seperti dapat karma. Sebab karir istrinya bisa melejit begitu cepat, lengkap dengan gaji yang cukup besar. Sementara ia? Hanyalah penulis lepas yang entah kapan bukunya bisa meledak di pasaran. Ironis bukan? "Iya-iya. Makasih buat kerja keras kamu," balas Jean tak ikhlas. "Ayo dong Mas! Jangan gini..." Ia naik ke atas ranjang. Lalu memeluk pinggul suaminya. "Kita kan harus—" "Iya, Sayang. Iya! Aku dukung semua pekerjaan kamu kok." Jean memilih untuk mengalah. Dan itu terjadi untuk kesekian kalinya. Dia sedang tidak dalam mood untuk berdebat dengan wanita yang sudah hampir 8 tahun ini ia nikahi. "Makasih ya Mas. Aku cinta banget ama kamu," ucap Elisha penuh syukur. Tidak lupa ia memberikan kecupan singkat di pipi Sang suami sebagai ungkapan terima kasih. "Ya udah, sekarang kamu tidur aja!" "Kamu?" "Aku mau nerusin deadline dulu." Elisha menganggukkan kepalanya dan mulai menata diri untuk tidur. Sedangkan suaminya kembali melanjutkan pekerjaannya. Menikmati malam yang dingin dengan saling memunggungi satu sama lain. * "Mas. Hari ini pembantu baru kita bakal datang." "Oh ya? Jam berapa?" Sambil menikmati sarapan paginya, Jean bertanya pada sang istri yang tengah menyuapi anaknya. "Aku nggak tau jam berapa. Soalnya penyalur cuma bilang gitu aja." Perempuan yang tampak rapi itu juga tidak lupa menyantap sarapan untuk dirinya sendiri. "Oke." "Nanti tolong interview yang bener ya Mas. Jelasin apa-apa aja aturan di rumah ini," pesan Elisha. "Iya." "Trus, hari ini jangan lupa jemput Qila ya Mas. Dia pulang jam dua soalnya." "Iya-iya. Aku udah paham kok." Jean mulai sedikit jengah. Elisha yang kini sibuk menyiapkan bekal untuk anaknya sambil repot memakan sarapannya sendiri memberikan senyum kecil ke arah suaminya. Meskipun paginya cukup sibuk dan merepotkan, namun perempuan 28 tahun itu tidak sekalipun mengeluh. "Sayang—" Ia mendekati Qila. Anak tunggalnya yang masih berusia 7 tahun. "Ini bekal kamu yah. Jangan lupa dihabisin." "Iya Mama." "Terus, pas di sekolah jangan nakal ya! Dengerin kata Papa sama Bu Guru. Dan—" Perempuan dengan setelan blouse dan rok sepan selutut. "Udah dong El, anak kamu juga udah pasti paham." Elisha melihat ke arah suaminya. "Kan aku cuma mastiin aja, Mas. Ya kan Qila?" Perempuan itu mengusap rambut anaknya. Yang dibalas cengiran lebar oleh sang anak. "Ya udah Ya, Mama berangkat dulu." Perempuan bertubuh ramping itu memeluk anaknya. Memberikan kecupan singkat di kening, pipi, dan bibir anak semata wayangnya sebelum berangkat. "Mas, aku kerja dulu ya." Elisha juga tidak lupa memberikan kecupan di dahi suaminya sambil pamit untuk berangkat. Hal yang wajib dia lakukan sebelum pergi ke kantor. Jean hanya menhanggukk kepalanya. Ia hanya menerima ciuman istrinya tanpa mau memberikan balasan untuk Elisha. Entahlah, dia sedang tidak mood untuk itu. Dia malah menghela nafas berat saat perempuan itu pergi dari pandangannya. Beginilah pagi yang harus ia lalui. Melihat keribetan Elisha, dan petuah-petuahnya untuk sang anak. "Papa, ayo berangkat!" Pria tampan dengan rahang tegas, hidung mancung, dan body atletis itu melihat ke arah sang anak dan tersenyum. "Oke. Ayo kita let's go!" Ia menutup laptopnya dan menurunkan anaknya dari kursi makan yang memang dibuat agak sedikit tinggi. Membantu Qila memakai tas dan menggandeng anaknya untuk ke depan. Menuju tempat mobil mereka terparkir. Itulah kegiatan Jean setiap pagi. Mengantar anaknya ke sekolah, bertegur sapa dengan guru yang ada di depan, atau saling melemparkan senyum saat ada wali murid yang dia kenal, sebelum kembali ke rumah. Padahal seharusnya ini jadi tugas Elisha. Tapi sayang, semua itu kini dia yang ambil alih karena istrinya sibuk bekerja. "Seandainya aku nggak kena PHK, mana mungkin aku ngelakuin hal kayak gini." Sudah berulang kali Jean menggumamkan hal yang sama. Ia cukup jenuh menjadi pekerja lepas seperti ini. Membuatnya seperti tak punya harga diri. Apalagi saat melihat tatapan aneh orang-orang padanya. Makin membuatnya merasa tak berguna. Tapi mau bagaimana lagi, mencari pekerjaan di tengah krisis seperti ini juga bukanlah hal yang mudah. Jadi dia harus tetap menjalani semua ini dengan lapang dada. * BRAAK! Sekitar 30 menit, ia kembali tiba di rumah. Dan pria tampan itu langsung ke dapur untuk mencuci piring bekas keluarganya sarapan tadi. "Ck. Bisa-bisanya aku malah ngelakuin semua kerjaan perempuan! Nyuci piring, nyapu, ngepel! Aaargghh!!" Jean terlihat emosi. Ingin sekali membanting piring di tangannya. "Ini kan tugas perempuan, tugas pembantu! Nggak seharusnya aku ngelakuin hal kayak gini!" "Lagian si Elisha itu, katanya mau ada pembantu yang kerja di sini! Tapi mana? Sampai sekarang belum datang juga!" Meskipun sambil marah-marah, Jean tetap melakukan semua pekerjaannya. Sampai, selang dua jam kemudian, terdengar bunyi bel yang dipencet beberapa kali. "Siapa itu? Apa— si pembantu yang dateng?" tanya Jean pada dirinya sendiri. "Bagus deh kalau beneran pembantu yang dateng, jadi aku nggak perlu capek-cepak lagi." Dengan sedikit berlari, pria tampan berkulit eksotis itu menuju ke arah depan. Bersiap membukakan pintu untuk tamunya. "Permisi Pak, selamat siang." Saat pintu rumahnya terbuka, ia malah dikejutkan oleh...JANE'S POVMy eyes shut close as the warm water from the shower hit my skin. I take my time in the bathroom to bathe and escape reality. Unfortunately, I can't run and hide for too long. As much as I want to stay in here for as long as I can, I step out of the bathroom to get dressed. My eyes narrow at the piece of paper held down by a box on the table. I didn't remove the box and just read the note right there on the table. 'Get dressed. We are leaving in 30 minutes.'My brows furrow and my lips squeeze into a frown. I take the note and tear it before moving over to my clothes to get dressed into shorts and a tank top. So demanding. So commanding. No detail but an authoritative note demanding my obedience. Bullshit.Two days since I confronted him. Two days since I visited Clara and he's yet to say a word to me. He's nothing but a heartless being who doesn't care how I feel even after I swallowed my pride and approached him about it.I would be mad to dress up and follow him wher
JANE'S POVThe car door open for me to get in just as I get to it. I sit quietly at the back seat as the driver starts the car. Beside me was the guard I frequently see with Alex. After a long time of paying attention to just Alex and not the man beside him, I now take proper look at him.His small eyes and chubby cheeks which looked like they needed some fat burn, along with his arms. His bald head which shone under the sun and his brown skin which radiated in the light. He was too good looking and fleshy to be a guard and even with his chubby physique he still looked like he could take a well body built enemy of Alex, down."You're a lot of headache to my boss." "He deserves it." I don't deny the fact that I did stress Alex alot but then, I stopped, right? I accepted my fate, I accepted my attraction towards him and look where it got me. Deflowered and Disregarded. "You could always run if you're tired."I pause to give him a side eye before turning my head to fully look at him.
ALEXANDER'S POV I hit my hand on my desk in frustration, anger...You name it. I was filled with so many emotions. The ones I knew of and the ones I didn't. "To my office, now." I roar into the phone speaker and slam it on the desk. "How could you be so fucking careles!" I spark the moment Seth walks into the office."Boss I...""It's all over the news. The old man's son. How did it happen?!" I tried containing my anger but it was impossible. "You told me you had buried him." My voice was low but full of anger. "I did. Sorry boss, I really don't know how this happened.""Sory isn't going to solve anything. You told me you had buried him where he could never be found, so how did his body end up being found at the shore of Prospect lake?""I wasn't lieing whe...""Did he float under the sand!" I hit my hand of the desk again, not caring about the pain or any occurrence of injury. "I buried him immediately. I and Simon had done a successful job.""Successful?" My brows crease at the u
JANE'S POVI quickly shower and lay on my bed for a while, staring at the ceiling. I somehow didn't feel the need to leave the room today. For the first time since I got here, I'll be comfortable being locked up in my room. I can't help but feel embarrassed and awkward whenever I think of that night. His actions that night after what we had done was enough reason for me to regret. I knew I would regret it anyway, but I didn't know it would come so soon.Maybe I was new to it. Sex and everything but what I wasn't new to was reading actions. I wasn't dumb I knew when actions were wrong and vibes were off, because a certain someone like Collins had given me enough of it.Maybe his actions could also be because I came when he told me not to yet?Damn. He's complicated and I feel embarrassed everytime I think of it. A knock on my door makes me snap my head to the door, thinking it was Alex. The door opened to Eva and I huffed in disappointment. Stupid of me to think Alex would knock to
JANE'S POVI really don't know what I was thinking when I stood up to him in such a flirtatious manner but I don't regret any of it.His hands were rough and rugged just like his voice, as he cupped my thighs, moving his hands up and down them as we kissed.I take my hands off his neck and drop them on the singlet hand of my gown. In one swift move, I take them off my shoulders, making my gown drop to the floor. "Fuck." He cursed as he stares at my bare breast. The one he had never seen but barely almost touched. My heart raced as my eyes watched him. Without thinking twice, I take his hands and place them on my hips, signaling him to continue from where he had stopped. He squeezed on it before running his hands up my sides to my breast. "Beautiful." He cupped it before lowering his lips to meet with my nipple. I moan at the contact of his hot lips. He sucked on it, squeezing hard on my other breast. His tongue danced on my nipple before sucking on it again.My hands meet with his
ALEXANDER'S POVI pull the end of Eva's apron calling for her attention. "Eva. Eva." She cleaned her hands and squat to my level, brushing my cheek as she smiled warmly at me. "What do you want from Eva this time around, Alex?" "I had done it, Eva. I was the one who stole dad's gun." "Oh, poor thing. Why did you lie then?""I was scared. Now Ethan is in so much trouble because of me.""Tell daddy then. You're his favourite, you know. He wouldn't get mad at you.""No he would. He scolded me the other time cause I had taken the speed game to play with Ethan without his permission.""Well, this is more serious than that." She brushed my shoulders. I felt bad but didn't cry. My guilt was all that brought me to confess to Eva but I would never to my dad. "Hmm. What's the solution to this?" She asked, acting like she is thinking, whereas she knew the answer. She wanted me to tell my dad the truth to save Ethan but I didn't want that."I want to see Ethan." I tell her."Well, that's too r
