Disobeying orders.

Ezekiel Miles, a ruthless billionaire and underground mafia lord, feared by everyone in the world of business was currently sitted among a group of men inside a private club. 

"You're really getting married to that girl?" Luke was astonished. Ezekiel would usually do one night stands, and anything related to settling with one woman was something out of his dictionary. So, hearing this juicy piece of news from Ezekiel himself made him surprise. 

"Benefits" Ezekiel simply said, taking a sip of his drink. 

"Oh, scratch that. We all know it isn't because of that. You hate that girl" Oliver stated calmly. Unlike Luke, he was taking this much more cool. 

"So...?"

"Isn't it too much? You already had your revenge on her that year. Can't you just let it go?"

Ezekiel glared at Luke and he quickly went quiet. How could he let it go when she... Okay maybe not she exactly but her mother was the cause of his father's death. Her mother was the cause of his misery. Everything he had to go through was because of her mother. Since her mother was dead, it was only natural she pays for her mother's sins right?

"Maybe it isn't the revenge he can't let go of, but her" Oliver chuckled, he was the only one who did not fear Ezekiel so he was able to say that even after receiving his cold glare that made his hairs stand on edge. 

"What? I'm not wrong" Oliver shrugged "The moment she came back, you quickly proposed marriage. If this is not love, I don't see what else it is"

Ezekiel knew Oliver was just trying to mess with him so he ignored him and silently finished his drink. It was already late at night, he knew she was in his house now, maybe on his bed, waiting for him. The image found it's way into his head and his lips twitched.

"So what's the deal? What are you planning to do to her now that you're 'finally' married" Luke stressed the 'finally' in his sentence with a sarcastic look. 

"None of your business" Ezekiel's reply made Luke's face turn sour. 

"Seriously, you're not going to tell us?"

"Aish... You're really dumb" Oliver gave Luke a disdainful look. Why ask what he already knew? Isn't it obvious Ezekiel was going to make the girl's life difficult? Ahh, poor girl. He just pitied her for being the daughter of that ruthless woman. Now she had to suffer under Ezekiel's clutches for a crime she knew nothing about. 

"She seems a bit different?" Ezekiel suddenly said, not quite sure but he could tell something changed within her. 

"Different? How? Do you perhaps find her more beautiful? Or sexy? Is her figure more enticing?" A grin plastered on Luke's face, he immediately went into gossip mode but as usual Ezekiel just ignored him.

 "Oh, come on, just tell me already. I-i really want to know" 

"Me too, just tell us. What changed about her?" Oliver added and they both fixed their gaze on Ezekiel waiting for him to confess. 

Ezekiel scoffed, he shook his head and suddenly stood up, taking his jacket with him. 

"Where are you going? We're not done yet" 

"I have a wife now" As usual, he didn't finish his sentence and left them to complete it with their weird imaginations. Ezekiel smiled slyly at them and Luke dramatically clutched his chest as he watched him go. 

Did he... Did he just indirectly called them single dogs? Luke couldn't stomach it. Just yesterday, they were still a group of bachelors but today... sigh. 

He turned to Oliver and gave him a look then quickly finished up his drink, took his jacket and he too, disappeared. 

Ezekiel arrived at his house and headed straight to his bedroom, he smirked when he opened the door expecting to see her there. Just like he had pictured.

He had specifically instructed the maids to keep her things in his room and lock all of the other rooms so she had no chance to escape. 

Well, what was he planning? Something naughty. They were husband and wife now and so he could do anything. Truth be told, he missed those times when he was pretending to be in love with her. She gave him everything including her body. The sex was good, really good that he missed it. The way her body would easily react to his every action, the way her soft moans sounded in his ears and how it felt inside her wet c*nt.

Ezekiel pushed open the door, a frown immediately forming on his face when he found no one. None of her things were in there too. He came back out and called for a maid. 

"Where is my wife?" 

The maid shivered under his cold gaze. She lowered her head not able to utter a word. He had asked them to make sure all of the other rooms were locked and his wife had no access to any of them except his bedroom but who knew... who knew his wife was a crazy woman. She poisoned all of them and told them they'll all die in thirty minutes if they don't provide the keys and take the antidote. She sounded serious and the sudden sting they felt in their intestines made them realize she was hell, not joking. No one even knew how she spreaded the poison to them. They just started to feel really weak and a stinging pain inside their stomach.

They had no other option than to look for those keys and present it to her, letting her chose whichever she wanted and saving their lives. Well, it was better to be killed by the boss for disobeying his orders than killed ruthlessly by a poison from the scary woman. Yes, she was scary, really scary that none of them wanted to cross paths with her ever again. 

"She did all of those?" Ezekiel eyed the woman suspiciously after she finished narrating everything that happened. 

He found it unbelievable. 

"Which room?" He asked and the woman quickly told him.
