Aiden fumed in anger, his eyes were on the corpse which laid on the floor, the man had dared to place a tracking chip inside him car. Aiden opened the door of the car, he had easily seen the tracker, pulled it out he dropped in on the floor and crushed it with his shoes.
Running his hand through his thick black hair he cursed silently, he pulled his phone from his pocket and dialed a number. “Hey boss”, The person said from the receiver in a calm voice. “Carlos, send the boys to come clean up this mess. It seems Rodrigo have decided to play dirty. He sent one of his men to place a fucking chip in my car”. Aiden said between his teeth. “That bloody idiot, we will look into the it. And I’m sending the boys now”. Carlos said, as sounds of keyboard was heard from his background “Good”. Aiden pulled the phone away from his ear and ended the call. With a sigh, he pulled the door open to enter his car. He started the engine and zoomed off. It was 1:45pm, and Alexander had a meeting which had started fifteen minutes ago but he decided to make his fellow business partners wait for him, not because he had important anything to do but because he wanted to get on their nerves. He pulled up his hand to check his watch. Wonderful it was time to go, he said to himself as he headed to where the meeting was held. It was one of his expensive clubs in the city. Wearing his designer Armani suit, and Louis Vuitton shoes he strode into the club heading to the secret room where the meeting was going to be held. Because it was afternoon the club wasn’t filled up. The door opened and he entered the room. Two other men were in the room with angry expressions on their faces. “Tiger, it’s so nice to finally see you”. One of the men said, flashing a fake smile. “I wouldn’t say the same Pablo, let’s make this fast. I have no time to waste”. Alexander said with a bored expression. The smile on the man’s face fell slowly as he clutched his jaws tightly. “Very well then, Where is the drive tiger?”. The man said now with a serious voice. “What drive?” Alexander asked but got a death glare from the other man, “oh that’s drive...I have no idea, you should be the one to tell me. Besides it was one of your boys who misplaced it, so tell me Pablo where is the drive?” Alexander said resting his back on the chair. “It hasn’t been found and you know that no one would dare steal from me except you,So cut the bullshit and tell me where is it?” His voice thickened, his eyes daring Aiden not to play games with him “My my.. so impatient, no one is playing games here, and I don’t have the drive. I don’t even have an idea where it is”. Alexander smiled at the man, “For fuck sakes tiger, I’m sure I don’t need to remind you of what will happen if that drive gets to the wrong hands, we will be doomed for sure, all our workings are in that drive., we...” Pablo said in utter frustration “..You not we”. Alexander corrected, “I have ways of clearing myself from the mess Pablo but you are already socked in the mess so deeply. So don’t you dare threaten me with that.” He added, his smile still on his face. Pablo just stared at the man in front of him, he knew it was almost impossible to threaten this man or even make him move a muscle, but he had to find away because the clock was ticking and the longer the drive stayed outside the quicker it was for him to get caught, and that was the last time he wanted right now, not after his cartel was just recovering from her lost. “Very well Tiger, for the sake of old times help me. I will repay your kindness double”. “Hmmmm” Alexander breathed, his fingers tapping on his wine glass, “What sort of kindness are we talking about here?” “I’m willing to give up 20% share of my properties to you if you would help me retrieve the drive, in the next seven days”. The man said as he rubbed his palms together. “20? That’s so cheap, you know I am a wealthy man , so give me a better offer man?” Alexander said Pablo swallowed the lump in his throat, what the hell was this man aiming at, hopefully he won’t ask for something ridiculous. “What do you want tiger?” “50 percent and your full loyalty and submission to me and my cartel”. Alexander smiled as he watched the man’s eyes widened in shock. “What....?? That is absurd, how can you ask for that much?...” Pablo said as he struggled to find words to speak. “Do you have a problem speaking now Pablo?, and I think it’s fair enough. That is if you are still interested in my services”. Alexander smile widened watching the man in dismay, how he enjoyed playing with people. “I..”, “Then I shall take my leave”. Alexander pulled his jacket to sit properly as he prepared to stand up from where he was sitting. “Wait...sit down tiger, let’s make a deal”. Alexander smiled inwardly hearing the man words. “Okay Pablo”. He rested his back on the chair. “I will do as you say tiger but you will have to bring me the drive within the next seven days. Unless, I will find Martha.” Pablo said proudly. Alexander’s jaw tightened for a split second at the mention of her name before he replaced it with a warm smile. “For a man in need, you really have some guts threatening me. Anyways, you will get the drive within the next seven days”. Alexander said as he stood up to leave, placing the glass cup on the table he moved to the door, “Don’t betray me tiger”. He heard Pablo said but he could care less about him, “I have important things to do, Marco. See Mr Pablo and his friend out of here”. Alexander said to his bouncer as he walked out of the room.Ariana opened her eyes to see her surroundings covered in smoke, she kept hearing a buzzing sound in her ears. A dry cough that escaped her lips as she slowly stood up to her feet. “Come on lets go, can you walk?” She heard someone say from behind her. She turned to look as who it was “Let’s go, the car is waiting for us”. Alexander said placing his hand around her waist before lifting her up. Three men dressed in all black rushed towards them, from the way they behaved Ariana could tell they were working for Alexander. “Don’t worry, I will carry her, so check my car” He said and headed towards the car, he placed her gently on the back seat of the car and sat beside her. “Are you both good?” Carlos asked turning his head to look at them at the back seat. “Yes we are good, she’s still in shock she will be good” Alexander said looking at Ariana who was resting her head on his shoulder. “Alright, I will be taking us to the penthouse it’s the closed to this place”. Ca
A/N: This chapter is supposed to come before chapter 24 which was honeymoon, I made a mistake while uploading, ****** Ariana felt her heart drop to her stomach, her eyes couldn’t believe what it was seeing at this moment. This had be some kind of joke or something, she opened her mouth to talk but no words formed from her mouth. The man in front of her just stared at her, he had no emotions on his face. “We are gathered here today to witness the joining of this wonderful man and woman”. The priest said with a smile, “please bring the rings here”,the priest added, a little girl came to their side with a small pillow in her hand where the rings laid. “Alexander Savage, do you take Ariana Smith as your lawful wedded wife, promise to hold and to love, in sickness and in health till death do you part”. The priest asked looking at him. Alexander’s eyes were on her when picked the ring from the pillow, pulled her hand forward and slipped the ring into her fourth finger. “I do”. H
Ariana was very much confused, she had never seen Alexander look so alert before he always had this calm demeanor and now he was like a totally different person. “We don’t have much time, walk fast Ariana”. He said without looking at her as he hold onto her hand tightly. When they finally got to the car, he entered the car and shut the door lock, pulling the seat belt over him he started the engine of the car. “Use the belt”. He said again without looking at her. She immediately did as she was told and watched him in silence, she had a million and one questions running in her head but she decided to just let him be for the moment because it clearly did look like a time for questions and answers. “Carl, I want you to track a car for me RV-441, do it now I will tell you everything when I get her to a safe place”. He said as he placed his earbuds into his ears. Ariana opened her mouth to speak but she stopped herself and just stared at him, she was beyond surprised how
Ariana’s breath hitched after hearing those words leave his mouth, this man was just unbelievable they were talking about something serious and here he was talking about...oh lord she to herself, she would have slapped her face with her hand but she couldn’t because this man was holding her arms. “Get off from me”. She said between her teeth. “No I won’t, you have to promise me that you would never such a thing like that again”. Alexander said. Ariana almost laughed at this man, so he was jealous she said to herself. “Why would I do that Alex? Besides you can do as you please I won’t be stopping you, I swear”. She smirked at him. He just stared at her still holding her hands in place. “You are going to be punished Ariana, you are being a very naughty girl right now”. He said so calmly. “Get off my Alex before I make you”. She grinned at him. Amusement flashed in his eyes, “Oh really? Then do it, make me Ariana” He smirked at her, he wondered what she would do to
When she was done with her work, she found the driver waiting for her and she entered the car with a sigh, she had a good day even if she was still bored at work, she was probably going to have a more boring day at home. She came out the car and walked into the house, she asked about Alexander from one of the security men and she was told he had gone out to do something. After taking a refreshing shower, she walked out of the restroom and changed into a loose shirt and black shorts. she quickly blow dried her hair and walked out of the room. Her eyes nearly went wide like saucers when she saw Alexander walk down the stairs of the other wing of the house with a woman by his side, the woman wore a short revealing black dress and had heavy makeup on her face. Ariana felt her heart squeeze in pain and for some reasons she felt jealousy flow through her. What was this man doing with that woman and who was she? She asked herself. She walked forward to them to make sure
Her neck had a love bite that was big and dark and it was a big spot. A frown popped up on her forehead and she narrowed her eyes, grabbing her powder from her bag and began to apply the power on her neck. Slowly covering the hickey on her neck, she pulled her hair to cover the spot on her neck. The silence in the room was so awkward she didn’t know what to say, “I will go get you coffee”. Lora said and walked out of the office. Thankfully Arianna was able to release the breath she didn’t know she was holding. She cursed at Alexander again for doing something as shameful as that, just then her phone rang and it was here mother who was calling . “Hey mum, how are you doing”. Ariana asked in a soft voice. “I’m good sweetheart, how are you doing?” She answered from the recover. “I am good Mum, how’s is father doing? How is everything there? How is the business going over there?” Ariana asked. “Everything is fine sweetheart we are all doing well and the business is going
