CHAPTER TWO

ADRIAN’S POV

I didn’t know what it was but something attracted me to her. Maybe it was because I hadn’t been with a woman in a long time and was just horny.

But I saw beautiful women every day. What about her was different? The tight dress around her thighs and the way she walked, she didn’t even show an ounce of fear while talking to me. She was one of the only women who dared to look me in the eye.

I told the manager to get someone to bring another drink for us. I thought he would call the same girl who served us the other time so I didn’t bother to specify who. Another girl came to the table. She seemed less confident than the other one.

“What can I get for you, sirs?” She asked, looking at the ground. She couldn’t even look us in the face?

I turned to the manager. “Get me the girl who served us before. I don’t like this one.” I sneered.

She was taken aback by my words.

“Get Isabella to come and take their order.” He turned to her and said.

“Yes, sir.” She scrambled away.

Isabella. Sounds nice.

After about two or three minutes, she walked up the stairs and came to meet us.

“What else would you like me to get for you?” She asked softly.

“Don Perigon, make sure it’s chilled,” I replied, my eyes fixed on her.

“Okay.” She walked away.

“Don’t even think about it,” Seb muttered under his breath.

“Think about what?” I asked, feigning ignorance even if I knew damn well what he was talking about.

“Whatever you think about that girl. We’re here on official business, not to fool around.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Be careful.” He warned.

Isabella came back up a few minutes later with a tray in hand. The drink bottle sat in a bucket of ice. She walked slowly and set the tray on the table. She didn't wait for instructions and started pouring out the drink for us.

She poured out for Sebastian first and then started pouring for me. She was leaning towards me a bit and I could see the curves of her boobs a bit more.

“Careful, Isabella.” I cleared my throat.

I didn’t mean to startle her but it seemed I did because she lost focus and spilled the drink on my white shirt.

“Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry.” She brought out a napkin from the side of her dress and tried to clean up the spill.

She was even more startled when the manager yelled her name.

“I told you you had only one more chance and you were done.” He yelled.

“I'm so sorry. I didn’t mean to spill the drink. It was an accident.”

“You are fired. Leave right away.” He pushed her.

“I'm so sorry. It was an accident. You can’t fire me. How am I going to pay my mother's hospital bills and my rent?” She begged.

“You should have thought about that before getting distracted.” He called a bouncer to escort her out. She didn’t want to leave so he basically carried her out while she thrashed around in his arms.

I sat quietly watching it all unfold. The manager ran to my side. “I'm so sorry, sir.” He bowed. “That will never happen again.”

“Let’s go,” I said to Seb. “Send the bill over,” I told the manager.

We walked out of the club and headed straight to the house. We had work to do but I couldn’t go with a stained shirt. I changed and immediately got back in the car.

We drove to the warehouse. I got down and walked to the door. When I got inside, the men there greeted me. I walked to where the man was tied up. He had already been dealt with enough by my men.

He laughed when he saw me. “Took you long enough.” He spat.

I held his face. “Who are you working with?” I asked.

“No one. I work for me and me alone.” He laughed.

“Don't test me.”

“You can’t believe it right? You can seem to fathom that someone as small as me would be able to cause all this trouble.” He smirked. “Face it, Adrian. You're no longer the boss. There's someone new in town.”

I slapped him across the face. His words angered me. “Kill him. Kill them all.” I yelled. “I don’t want to see any more traces of him. Burn their little hideout down.”

“Yes sir,” Matthew said.

I and Seb walked out of the building. I wasn’t even planning to make things so long. I knew I wasn’t getting any information from him. It was a waste of time to delay things.

“Find me that girl from the club,” I said to Romeo.

“Yes, sir.” He nodded.

“Adrian,” Seb called.

“Save it.” I needed something to relieve my stress. I knew damn well I wasn’t going to get it elsewhere.

After about an hour or two, they traced the girl and we went to her house. It didn’t take long. I was absolutely disgusted by her living conditions. I could see why she begged not to be fired.

I went into the small building alone. I knocked on the door and after a few seconds, it opened.

She was surprised to see me on the other end of the door.

“What, what are you doing here?” She stuttered.

I walked into the small apartment and took my time to look around. It was a tiny space but at least it was clean. I was intrigued and kept going around and touching stuff.

“I'm going to make this really short,” I said.

“What? How did you find out where I live? Where are you even here? She asked.

“Have sex with me,” I stated flatly.

“What?” She was stunned.

I walked closer to her. “You obviously need money.” I looked around. “And I need someone to satisfy me tonight. How much do you need? Any amount, I’ll pay.”

“You want to pay me to have sex with you?” She asked.

I nodded and before I knew it, I felt a hard slap across my face.

When I finally registered what was happening I shoved him really hard. Before he had the chance to say anything, I doubled down and slapped him across his cheek.“Isabella.” He held his face.“What the heck is wrong with you? Why would you do that?”“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.” He apologized. “You just kissed me and you’re sorry? What in the world possessed you to do that?”“I really didn't mean to. It was an honest mistake.”“Get out. I was willing to hear you out but this just threw me off.”“Sorry.” He didn’t fight with me about it anymore. He left the room rubbing his cheek.
