Thirty two: Man of surprises
He pulled up at a luxury clothing store. The one he had taken me to when we had been preparing for the party. The store's name 'YASMINE' which was written with purple coloured led light shone brightly in the dim evening.
"Here?" I asked him, turning to look at him.He undid his seat belt. "Too many questions. Just follow me. Here's just the beginning." He replied getting out of the car while I got out also.We walked into the store and the woman's bright smile welcomed us once more."You're finally here Saint. I thought we wouldn't make it." She said running over to hug him then smiled at me. "Welcome my dear."I smiled at her, "Thank you.""Sorry Aunty, we didn't come any sooner, I'll pay you for the extra hours." He told her and my eyebrows furrowed in confusion again.Aunty? Extra hours? What did that mean?She smiled even brighter, "You know I don't care about that. But if you're giving it to me, why shRelated chapters

We sat across from each other and I turned around once more to look around the empty restaurant and back at him. "You mean you reserved the whole place?" I asked him finally. He looked amused as he watched me. "Yeah."I looked around again. "Why?" "You're with me. Thought it would make you comfortable. And also I don't want to put you in danger again." He replied. He was doing all this for me? "You don't do it normally?" I asked to confirm if he was. "Why wouldn't I?" He replied with a slightly raised eyebrow. "I don't like eating or shopping in crowded places either." Of course, he wasn't doing it for me. What was I thinking? This was his normal life and I was the one who wasn't used to it. "You did that at your aunt's boutique too?" I asked finally realizing why the place was empty the two times I'd been there. He nodded nonchalantly. This man left me speechless.His sharp jawline attractively came to view as he turned to signal the waiter that we were ready to order. One

We got to the house finally and the car came to a halt. I was in a better mood than I was before we left and I had Saint to thank for that. I glanced at him as he made to open the door and held his arm stopping him. He turned to look at me. "Uhmm... I just wanted to thank you. I actually feel much better than I did the past few days. He gave me a quick smile," It's good then if you loved today" I replied. He turned to go out again when I stopped him for a second time." One last thing." I told him, contemplating if it was right to actually say what I had in mind. "Yeah?" He said looking at me as he waited for me to talk. "Marcel called." I found myself blurting out immediately. "Earlier today."I watched him waiting for a response from him or a reaction or to ask me what he said or where he was hiding. Instead, he nodded. "I see." And with that, he got out of the car and came over to open the door to where I sat. As I got out, he ordered the men to take the shopping bags inside
Mafia's Little Pearl Thirty five: Blood?
Saint's Pov "The vacation home?" CJ asked me, looking at me with surprise plastered all over his face. "Yeah. That should be the safest place." I replied, feeling the Martini burn down my throat as I gulped it down. "Saint, have you forgotten already what happened the last time? You've not been there since then." He said, an expression of worry taking over his surprised face. Forgotten? How could I? How could I forget such? I could never. The sick feeling I got from then had never left me so how could I forget? "I haven't," I replied in a flat tone." The vacation home seems to be the safest place as of now. And come whatever may, that would be the last place they would think of."CJ shook his head. "I don't know about this Saint.""Look, get lots of the guys to be in this. Get more guys out of the training hut and take them with you. Tell the jockey to be more careful with Tequila's location this time around." I instructed further. "He says he got multiple locations from him the
Mafia's Little Pearl Thirty six: Feel any pain?
Jade's pov. "I slipped," I replied looking into his eyes as his horrified expression stared back at me. I sat on the floor, the slight pain I felt in the lower part of my waist making it a bit hard to get up. "Did you get hurt? You're covered in blood!" He said hastily scanning my body while checking for the injury quickly. "You've lost a lot. Where're you bleeding from? Did you hit your head?!" "Saint," I said gently holding up my coloured palms to his face. "It's hair dye."I saw his knitted brows loosen up slowly. "Hair dye?" He asked observing the splatters on the sink, mirror and my towel again. I nodded. "Yeah," I replied pointing to my hair. "The colour was starting to fade away."His eyes shifted to my hair as if he was still trying to process the whole thing that had happened. I looked around the bathroom and indeed it seemed like a crime scene. The first portion of dye I had planned to use had fallen off my hand by accident and spilt all over the place. Then I made a nex
Mafia's Little Pearl Thirty seven: Vacation
I woke up to someone's arm holding me closely to their body, while soft deep breaths followed. I could also feel the person's third leg digging into my lower back. Saint. Of course, it was Saint. Last night had been crazy and I could not quite remember how we managed to sleep off together. I was glad he hadn't left me behind with just his lingering scent or else I would have been losing my mind this morning once more. This was the second time I was waking up next to him and I peeked by the side to see his hair falling loosely on his face. I lay still, trying to play sleep, his phone started ringing out loud. He groaned but didn't wake up or change positions and I reached out to his hair to move it out of his face, admiring the stone-cold expression he had as he slept. He hissed and the next thing I saw was him getting up. "Don't fucking touch me, Jade. The fuck." He snapped as he stood up and at the same time, his phone started ringing again. I stared at him, dragging my legs t

I noticed everything about him instantly. He wore a pair of black combat trousers, and a black polo and had a black jacket hanging on his shoulders loosely. I noticed his exposed full-sleeved tattoo on his arm as he waved. He had his hair in a mullet, had multiple piercings on each ear, an eyebrow piercing and a lip piercing as well which glistened under the light. He looked a lot like CJ but like a punk version of him. Saint shook hands with him smiling, "Alessandro. How've you been man?" He asked The guy apparently called Alessandro removed the lollipop he had in his mouth and shrugged. "Same as always yunno. Counting how many holes I can make with a gun per year."Saint laughed a little at that. Alessandro's eyes fell on me and he looked back at Saint, "Who's the chick?" He asked winking at Saint. "She's Jade. And she's off limits." He warned grabbing my hands all of a sudden. I tried to set myself free from his grip but it only made him tighten it. Alessandro laughed, "Ok
Mafia's Little Pearl Thirty nine: At the beach
The beach breeze blew the air to my face making me shut my eyes a little. I should have brought a pair of glasses. I mean who went to beaches without one? We had arrived at the beach, apparently where Saint said we were supposed to be and I was glad I had worn a comfortable dress. Saint had suggested a hat to go with it and reluctantly, I took one with me. I stretched my legs out as I sat on the deck chair watching the scenery in front of me. The beach was not crowdy today and the view in front was a nice one. I sat beside Saint whom I noticed kept on stealing glances at me. He hadn't brought up the matter from the previous day or why he was acting up but he looked less angry and more relaxed. And I was not going to speak about it if he wasn't going to. Saint's men stood beside and behind us while Alessandro stood far in front, his hands in his pockets as he stared into the space. I finished my drink, put off my hat and then stood up. "Going to get a refill," I informed Saint who
Mafia's Little Pearl Forty: Call out my name
I changed into a bikini and a light cover-up kimono after a quick bath then made my way downstairs towards the swimming pool,After we had left the beach, we had eaten out at a fancy restaurant with Saint booking out the whole restaurant as usual, leaving it empty. "This is what happens when you have a billionaire boyfriend." Alessandro had commented as he escorted me to my room and I had rolled my eyes at him reminding him that I wasn't dating Saint. Saint had told me he had business to take care of and then he had headed out again. I wasn't sleepy yet and the swimming pool outside had caught my eye from the first day so I decided to enjoy the night atmosphere for a while. I got to the pool which shimmered under the well-lit arena and I saw Alessandro making his way out of it. "Saint's woman is here I see." He said grabbing his shirt from one of the chairs there and opening up a lollipop. His wet fully tatted chest glistened from the light reflection and he slicked his hair bac
