Semua Bab THE BILLIONAIRE'S OBSESSION: From player to Father : Bab 51 - Bab 60

~~KNOX~~I stood in the elevator as it went up to my office. The building had been here when my grandfather first came on board. But we weren't here just because we had made it big. No, my grandfather had made a deal with Mr. Ashford's father, and so we used the logistics company as a front while being second in command.Laundering money through the up-and-coming company didn't make us rich, but we wanted to look more legal than the other side of the family. So when I ascended to the COO position, and Maddox became CEO, we implemented more of an international shipment with boats. We had doubled the income in a year and made sure to keep gaining clients.My father had been in line to be the head of the Italian mafia but had turned it down when he met my mother. So his younger brother took it. I didn't mind. I didn't want to be heir to something that would probably get me killed one day. Hell, it probably still would. Since I was still part of the family.After stepping out of the eleva

~~SERA~~I lay in bed after what was probably the most god-awful sex I'd had in months. My new boyfriend lay beside me, snoring. Tonight was our first night together, and it was definitely going to be the last.Sighing, I got up from the bed in the hotel room and made my way to the bathroom. Thinking about Knox couldn't even make me come. I couldn't remember when I actually started thinking about him. But I believe it was before I started college, because of our weekly dinner with the family and him being there. I had noticed him in his jeans and tight-fitting shirt with his muscles on display.It wasn't like I hadn't been around him most of my life. Not like he would even look my way, being my brother's best friend and coworker. Not to mention that I was nine years younger than him. He always treated me like a sister, and why wouldn't he? It was me who was becoming infatuated with him. It didn't help when he play-flirted with me either.Besides, Knox Vittorio could have any woman he

SERAKnox was the last person I'd have thought would be in Las Vegas. Kyle had wanted to get away after my brother's wedding, and I was all for it. That was before he thought it would be a good idea to bring another woman into the mix. I knew most men wanted that, but I didn't know her and I wasn't about to put my health in danger.I told him that I was leaving, which made him mad. Kyle had grabbed my arm and started to drag me over to the bathrooms. If I hadn't been wearing these damn heels, I would have been able to get free.Knox had given me his key card and told me to go up and stay there until he got back. I should have told him that I was going to go home, but he had a serious tone in his voice that made me stay. Kyle had left while Knox was standing with me, so I didn't worry that he would follow me.When I got to the room, I realized that Knox had booked the largest suite in the hotel. The place was huge, but I was used to things like this. Walking around the suite I found th

~~KNOX~~I stood at the corner, watching the older man get out of the limo and head into one of the gentlemen's clubs that he had been frequenting since I found him. My uncle wasn't lying when he said the man was old, but I didn't expect him to be this elderly.What else I couldn't understand was why he didn't at least have a bastard child from the many women that he had been with. I had done my research, and he had been one of the top playboys in our world. Along with being the most gruesome. He didn't get his nickname for just sitting around. This man once tortured someone to within an inch of his life and had him treated before doing it all over again.Jasper the Blade wasn't a man to mess around and even if he was older now. I still wasn't going to go in half-cocked. He was the head of the LA mafia, and I knew that even if his men weren't like him, they could still be very deadly.Part of me thought I had seen this man before when he was younger, but I hadn't known about Jasper un

~~KNOX~~Maddox was distracted by his wife. I had noticed that when he would sit at his desk and pretend to be signing things. Today was one of those days and he was carrying his Glock. I had been carrying mine for a while, too, ever since I noticed some punk hanging around the garage entrance.My phone pinged on my desk, bringing my attention to my watch, and I grinned.I want you.I want you too, but you know we can't get caught.I know, but you're always working. :(The phone on my desk rang, and I picked it up."Vittorio.""Knox, I'm taking the rest of the day off. You're in charge," Maddox replied. I was silent for a moment before I glanced back at my phone."Okay, you know I got you, man." My mind went to the text messages from his sister, and I couldn't help but think about a rendezvous with her here. It was a risk to bring her here, but fuck, she was right, and I needed her just as bad.
