Jax Point of View

Chaos in my fucking club as soon as I walked in. I saw Reina at the bar smiling like a god damn psychopath.

She knew something.

'The Black Hunter was here.' one of my men said 'all the cameras were hacked and can't be unhacked. Angelo is trying.'

'Cover it up.' II ordered while my eyes were on her.

She knows something and I plan on finding out. 

I went from behind her and pushed at the centre of the bottom of her neck and she fell backwards.

I took her into my arms and took her to the back of the club. 

She would be out for 6-8 hours and when she does wake up, I will get my answers.

I left her at the back in a locked room in case she tried anything.

 I came back in the morning to check up on her and walked in.

Sloan was lying on the floor knocked out and so was Dolan. 

Where was she?

Rage flew by me but the most significant emotion was confusion.

How on earth did this woman beat up men who were twice her size? Where did she learn how to fight? How did she fight so well?

If I wasn't curious before I sure was now.

'Boss you called.' Angelo stated as he walked in.

'I want to know where Reina Romano will be today,' I demanded.

'.... Sure.' he hesitated.

Within the next hour, he came back and told me that she would be in her hotel.

She's probably trying to buy land since I cut the deal off with me.

Short tempered and stubborn.

I wanted to see her so I rounded up majority of my paperwork and headed over to the Romano hotel.

I walked in 'Where's the CEO's office?'

'On the 5th floor but first you need an appointment sir.' the receptionist in her mid-thirties said.

'No need.'

I walked up the stairs and barged into the office door.

She was sitting on a spiny chair in front of her office. It was grandly decorated with a couch and pictures across the wall.  could clearly tell why her hotel was voted the best international hotel company.

She was talking to a girl with purple hair undertones and blue eyes. 

'Ms. Romano. He came in with no appointment.' the receptionist said.

'it's alright Mrs. Larson.' she said with a gentle tone dismissing her.

She then snapped her eyes to her friend.

'Adelina leave.' she sternly commanded.

'As you please baby.' she retorted sarcastically.

She gestured for me to come and sit on the couch in front.

I had a good look at her. She was wearing a full black outfit which pulled out her creamy brown eyes. It was a black top and jeans with a black cardigan on top. She wore a matt black watch that fit the outfit perfectly.

'How did you do it?' I demanded coming forward to her.

'Do what.' she asked innocently.

She was playing dumb once again.

'Beat and bruise up my men.'

She blinked at me blankly.

'I don't get an answer then.' I scoffed.

'Nop' 

My eyes were burning the red in them. 

I am so close to snapping her neck in half.

'Who's the black hunter?'

'Why did you kidnap me?'

 'Do you know the black hunter?'

'Who knocked me out?'

'Why did he kill at my club?'

'Did your stalkerish obsession get a bit too high to control you needed to kidnap me?'

She's obnoxious more than I thought. 

'I do not have an obsession with you.' I stated coldly.

'Then why the questions?'

'I want my answers.'

'Curiosity killed the cat.' she snapped back at me.

'A cat has nine live, Nemesis.'

'That's my name now?'

Nemesis. That was the perfect name for her. She was the enemy not any sort of ally in any way.

'guess so.'

'Well, Narcissus you best get going since the Black Hunter has never is never and will never be any of your business.'

'So, you know him?' I growled leaning forward.

I took her chin and guided her to look into my eyes.

She was different. She never bowed down to me or any other man. I can't put my hand on it but she's not like anyone I have ever met. 

She scowled and threw my arms off her chin.

She pointed at the chair 'there is the door.'

'I'll leave now but trust me Nemesis I always have got my answers.' I whispered and walked up to the office door.

'Sure, will remember Narcissus.' she muttered.

Narcissus. Perfect, she had a fucking nickname for me as well.

She was looking for a deal so I asked Angelo to search for whatever client she would like to buy from.

'Boss she's having dinner with Malik Savan.' Angelo said.

Just then when I was doing paperwork, Sloan walked in.

'Please tell me you aren't following this girl.'

'She knows something and I want to know.' I calmly said.

'You can just let someone else deal with-’ he began.

'She beat you up and I want to deal with her personally.'

'Personally' he mimicked.

I glared at him 'just because you're my best friend does not mean I will hesitate to use you as my punching bag. Clear?'

'Crystal' he said wriggling his eyebrows.

Just as I walked out, 'Try not to fall in love.'

'Fuck off.'

He howled with laughter as I left.

I walked into the restaurant after a half hour drive.

I saw Nemesis and she looked beautiful no doubt. I could see a couple of men eyeing her up. She was talking to Malik. 

She was wearing a two-part top and skirt which came together with brown heels and a beige bag. She was no doubt stylish.

'Malik, long time no see friend.' I approached them and began a conversation with the man.

'This is Ms. Romano and Ms. Romano this is Jax Martinez.'

'We've met.' she commented in a melancholy tone.

'That's wonderful. Why don't you join us for dinner?' he asked me.

'I would love that.' I quickly relied before she could jump in to say something.

Time to bring hell to Nemesis' life.

We took our seats. I took mine with Nemesis by my side and Malik on the opposite facing us both. Clearly, she did not like the seating but she had to go along anyways. 

He started talking about the land length with the details directing all the information to her and she was carefully paying attention adding along with more question planning how she would use the move.

Malik called the waiter to order and while he did that I leaned into her ear.

'You use your initiative and you're intelligent. Sounds like you're the perfect to keep a secret like the Black Hunter.' I whispered.

She scowled.

'And for the lady?' the waiter asked clearly eye fucking her.

'I'll have spaghetti bolognese please.'

'Mmmhm. Any drinks?' He said while his eyes roamed onto the rest of her body.

'She'll have a scotch on rocks, won't you Nem?'

She clearly was frustrated with me but agreed in the end with a simple nod.

I was observant especially when she was around and clearly already knowing her favourites.

'So Jax how is business right now?'

'It's alright.' I began and continued on talking.

While Malik was talking, I could see Nemesis staring out of the window clearly bored out of her mind.

I slowly creeped my hands against her knees and she gulped.

I have an effect on her and damn I love that she reacted to my touch.

I went ahead and traced my fingers on her knee and made my way up, making circles. I wasn't making eye contact with her since I was listening to Malik but I hadn't forgotten her.
