Chapter 4

The silhouette finally stepped out of the shadows and into the light, he got up from the couch and took steps close to the table before he leaned in and picked up the file.

He assessed the back before opening it and reading through, he scrunched his nose up and looked at Spade again.

"You're not actually going to go through with this are you"? He asked looking at Spade

Spade just put both his elbows on the table and rested his chin on his hands.

"This is crazy, Spade you're going to be married to her forever, she's going to be your wife" he stated still looking at the man in front of him, as if he was a toddler

"That is why I have you, I won't be married to her forever, you're gonna make sure of that" he muttered looking at the man holding the file

"Me? Excuse me but I won't be helping you kill some innocent girl two week after marriage" he said and Spade resisted the urge to roll his eyes at his childishness.

"You're not gonna help me kill anyone Matteo" he muttered making him sigh out and do the sign of the cross

"You are gonna help me draft a new contract, similar to this one but you'll add a few clause of mine" he added and Matteo just looked at him interrogatively

"And what are those clause"? He asked

"First of all, the marriage will only last for a year, after which I can file for a divorce if she doesn't bear me a child, a son specifically, and after the divorce she gets nothing from me, not even a penny" he explained and Matteo just gave him a look

"Are you sure about this? I mean even if you won't be married forever, one year is a long time to get to know someone, she might become someone you like" he said looking at Spade and Spade just gave him a pointed look

Spade knew something like that was impossible, him caring about someone else, especially someone like Greg's daughter, not likely to happen

He was sure of it

"Just do what I asked you to do" he muttered scratching his beard a bit "Greg that greedy fucker thinks he's gaining something from this marriage but he's wrong, he's fucking wrong, by the time I'm done with him, he wouldn't know what hit him" he muttered his eyes landing on Matteo

Matteo let out a huge breath watching his friend with a keen interest, Spade would never agree to it if anyone ever called Matteo his friend, but the blonde haired man knew that Spade cared enough for him to consider him his friend deep down, even though he has a fucked up way of showing it.

"Why do business with him if you're only going to fuck him over, and besides, it's the man you want at your mercy, why suffer his daughter for it"? He asked and Spade just shrugged

"Because She's his daughter, his offspring" he muttered, even he knew the excuse was not valid but when has he ever needed an excuse to do whatever he wanted

"Yeah but don't you think something's a little off about this whole contract thing, this guy has never met you before, only spoke to you on phone but he agreed to sell his daughter off to you, for all he knows you could have been a serial killer or even a disgusting old man, no offense" he finished making Spade to give him a hard glare on the last comment.

"I don't care about all that Matteo, that's his business, just do what I asked you to do, I'll need it by tomorrow" he muttered sitting back on the chair.

The blonde just nodded before closing the file.

"And also, Nathan Miller, I want you to get me everything you can find on him, along with the new contract tomorrow" he said, Matteo just scrunched his brows at the name

"Who is that? Is he a threat or something"? He asked watching Spade.

"Not yet, at least that's what I think, apparently he's Greg's son, that wasn't mentioned in any of the files we have on Greg, and I wanna know why" he muttered, his mind drifting to the man he saw in Greg's office

Matteo nodded before turning around and walking out of the office.

Spade's mind went back to the deal, Matteo was right, there was something off about how Greg was quick to give away his daughter to someone he barely knew, not just anyone but to someone as dangerous as himself.

But Spade could care less about all that.

If Greg wanted to even add his late wife to the deal, Spade would take it, if it meant he gets to get half of Greg's company and 50% profit from every business made by the company

But something was still tugging at his mind, one question was still brewing.

Why didn't he ever know that Greg had a son?

And that he ran all the legal businesses of his father.

Spade didn't see anything about him on the file he had drawn up about Greg, not even a single line about him.

And he'd been talking to Greg for over a month but he had never mentioned that he had a son.

Did he have an ulterior motive by hiding the fact that he infact had a son?

Why suddenly bring him out now?

There is something off about Greg accepting this deal and that son of his but Spade would figure it out.

And if Greg as much as cross him, then he'd kill him and his children

There was a knock on his door and he raised his head up, wondering who it was, he wasn't expecting anyone at the moment.

"Come in" he muttered watching the door, it opened and a lady walked in wearing nothing but a very short leather skirt and lacey pantyhose, her top barely covered her perky breasts and her whole stomach and belly button was exposed, she had a seductive smile on

"Teo told me you are in" she whispered looking at Spade, he just had a neutral look on, seemingly not interested in her, or maybe he was but you can never tell with Spade.

She walked towards him and around his desk before trailing her fingers up his exposed chest and stop at his beard, with her eyes and whole body screaming lust and desire

Spade just grabbed her wrist and took her hands off him

"I'm not in the mood for this Scarlett" he muttered before turning away from her, her facial expression fell but she wouldn't let his sour mood deter her.

She quickly put up another smile and moved closer to him grabbing his arm and teasing him.

"Uhm.... What happened? you don't seem bright" she muttered and he just grounded his teeth before pulling his arm away from her hold.

"Get to work Scarlett" he muttered dangerously low, she swallowed but didn't want to just give up, she was about to hold him again when he shot her a hard glare that made her recoil back and quickly walked out of the office almost stumbling down with her six inch heel.

He sighed out and ran his hands down his face, stopping at his beard.

He badly needed a shave but he was liking this new style of his.

His eyes drifted back to the door and he stopped working for a while.

Scarlett was someone he always went to for some kind of release whenever he was stressed out or exhausted or just in the mood.

But tonight he didn't really seem to be in the mood for any of that, especially knowing he'd be bound to some daddy's girl very soon.

And of course the young man he'd seen earlier that day too, had some how occupied his mind, even if he tried to do anything, he'd only be wasting his time and of course valuable work time from Scarlett's work hours at the club.

She was one of the strippers at his club.

He had a strictly no strings attached situationship with her, just sex and nothing more.

He didn't really have much work to do at the club tonight so he just packed away the papers on his desk and got up before walking out of the office.

Nathan stepped out of the shower with his hair dripping with water, his towel hanging low on his V line, he was drying his hair with a smaller towel as he walked towards his closet and took out a sweatpant.

He put it on hanging the towel on his closet door, he didn't bother putting on a shirt.

He walked towards his bed and sat on it, before pulling his laptop and putting it on his laps.

He tapped on the key board and opened the browser, he typed in a name and numerous pictures popped up showing him a few of what he wanted to see.

Giovanni 'Spade' DeVille

He was going through the contract drafted for the marriage and business partnership and there was nothing out of place, which only made him wonder why in the first place, Spade wanted to form not just an alliance but a family connection with his father.

Spade has everything he wants, he's successfully, very feared and respected by basically everyone, even the cops feared him, but yet he has agreed to be tied down in marriage with someone he barely knows, all for what?

Nate sighed out watching the screen of the laptop as pictures upon pictures kept popping up about the 29 year old man.

This man could have anyone he wanted and yet he chose Su.

Nate was no fool, he knows Spade's legal business was just a cover up for the shady things he was really involved with.

Nate might not be the most famous of people out there but he sure isn't dumb, he knows things, things even his father never thought he knew.

Things about Mafia and how it works.

And he didn't need a soothsayer to tell him that his father at some point in time had been involved with the mafia, especially when they were kids

Being a CEO, he hears things, especially about people like Spade.

It may have been whispers or probably rumors but he was sure he had heard on one or two occasions that Spade is the Don and leader to the Italian Mafia.

Not many people know him as Spade, especially in this part of the world, but the few who do, know who he really is behind the facade of a CEO.

And Nate knew his father was one of those people who knew the real identity of Spade, because he called him Spade in his office today, only to be corrected in a rather harsh way.

Not that he cared if Spade treated his dad with anything less that he did today.

But one question keeps running through his mind.

What is Spade's motive in doing business with them, helping his father with cash to settle his debt and marrying his daughter in exchange.

Spade sure does have an ulterior motive

Well let's read and see 😜😜
