EPISODE EIGHTEEN
STEFANO.
She’s so fucking hot. My dick twitched in my pants the moment I saw her. She gets me aroused without even trying hard. Hazel became more uncomfortable around me tonight. She feels insecure about the dress which looks good on her. I took a few glances at her through the front mirror of the car but she wasn’t looking up.
I never knew Hazel was so beautiful. She’s always on baggy dresses
Complimenting her now will feel so weird to me, I never showed any liking for her, why should I do it now because she was wearing a better dress?
I really don’t know what to do.
After a long drive, I got to the venue of the ball, I hope those dicks won’t behave funnily around her.
I opened the car door for her. The camera light almost blinded her eyes.
She rested her head on my chest shyly as I helped her down.
“I’m nervous.”She mumbled, moving her hands up to my chest.
Fuck. What’s she doing to me?
“I’m with you. Eyes on me only. Hazel. You won’t get nervous if you do that.”
HAZEL.
He moved his hand slowly to my waist and pressed it softly.
I nodded slowly feeling better, I locked my hands with him as the camera was more focused on me.
Luca is present already, Labrinth waves at me from the stairs.
“Hey princess.”He greets discreetly, pushing the press away from me.
“Focus on your date, you bastard.”
“Don’t worry, she’s fine without me.”He chuckles winking at Labrinth who only glares at him.
“Keep your fucking cameras down or reduce the lights.”He curse the stubborn press guy trying to get close to me.
“Let’s go.”Stefano urged me and led me to the hall.
The hall was filled with lots of dignitaries already, Celebrities, Business personnels, successful entrepreneurs and others.
Most of the men stopped dancing with their guests, They all rushed to our direction, Grinning from ear to ear.
“This will get messy from now on. They are looking for his favor.”Labrinth whispers beside me, grabbing my other hand.
“I should go with Labrinth.”I mutter, referring to Stefano whose hand is still wrapped around mine.
“No.”
“You should be more friendly with them. They will help you in your business.”I urge.
“I don’t need their help.”He deadpans.
“Stefano.”A short middle aged man greets beaming at us.
I bow slightly to him as he shook hands with Stefano.”Is she your date?”He asked, stretching his hand to mine hoping I could collect it but I didn’t.
“She’s my wife.”He corrects by grabbing my both hands and placing them on his shoulder.
“We will talk later.”The man excused himself immediately.
We started dancing to the ball music. He turns me around as the music reaches its climax. He smiled satisfactorily the moment I settled myself in his arms.
“You take ball classes?”He asked, pressing my waist to his lower body.
Our body moves in rhythm due to the position.”I teach people.”
“Hmmm.”He hums.
Luca wandered clumsily to where we are.
Stefano tilted his head to Luca’s direction.
His eyes glinted in anger immediately. Christ. How does his mood darken so fast?
“Really?”
“I don’t know he will be coming here. He sent a message to me already.”
I drop my hands off his shoulders immediately.
“I need to attend to something, Go to the bar and take any drink you want.”He patted my arms quickly and left with Luca.
“He never says sorry.”I huff.
I looked around for Labrinth but she wasn’t in sight. I got extremely shy as the tatted men bore their eyes lustfully on my body.
Labrinth came to my rescue, She pats my back apologetically.
“Sorry, I had to attend to one of our business partners.”She apologized, addressing her dress.
I noticed a noticeable tattoo on her neck which I hadn’t seen earlier.
“You just drew it?”I ask. She was confused for a moment, Her facial expression softened as she touched her neck.
“No. It has been there before.”
“It looks familiar.”
“Stefano has it.”
“Really?”
“Marcos too.”
“Wow.”
“And Luca. Everyone.”She chuckled.
I demand for a non alcoholic drink, Labrinth opt in for it even though she prefers alcohol but she needs to monitor me until Stefano comes back.
“It tastes bland.”She huffs, dropping the champagne cup.
Shortly, A guy came to join us. He’s probably in his mid thirties. He looks older than Stefano, He’s covered with tattoos.
His chest was flared open and he looked dangerous. Labrinth bowed to him slowly, They exchanged greetings but he was focused on another thing. Me.
“Hi Carissima”He greets me in his rich Italian accent.
“Hello.”I answer simply.
His features scare me more as he smiles.
“My name is Baron. Labrinth surely knows me. I’m a good friend of your husband.”
He introduced properly, and I greeted him more warmly.
Labrinth isn’t enjoying his presence. “Hope you’re enjoying the ball?”
“Yes.”
“I’m sure you’re not. How will you enjoy a ball with Labrinth? She’s boring.”He huffed.
“Show your fucking manners.”She hiss in anger.
“Care for a dance?”He asked, stretching his hands to me.
I stare at him awkwardly, I don’t wanna dance with him. But I don’t want him to get mad at him. He’s Stefano’s business partner too just like he introduced.
“scusa nessuna possibilità”Labrinth yank his hands off but he wasn’t having it.(Sorry, no chance in Italian)
“Sure. I will.”I say. The atmosphere was getting more tense. Few guests were already turning to our direction. Baron was still keeping his smile steadily.
“Do you want to get someone killed?”Labrinth questions angrily.
“It’s just a dance. Stefano will be here soon.”I mutter at him.
Baron led me to the dance floor with his hands resting comfortably on my waist. I hate his touch. I hate his smile. I’m regretting my actions already but I don’t want Stefano to be in any of his business partners’ bad books because of me.
STEFANO.
“Who knows there will be a place as shitty as this?”Luca scoff slipping himself in between the Russian fucks smoking their night away.
Some of them were even doing drugs. Shit. They don’t even fear the fucking cops again.
“Where the fuck is he?”I groan as we bent our heads so we can enter the stuffy corner which is actually a room.
I scoff the moment I saw a naked woman on
Evan’s body.
“My daughter looks so fucking hot tonight. Have you been fucking her?”He teases pushing the chic off his laps.
He zipped up his disgusting dick back into his jeans and stood up immediately.
“What the hell are you doing here?”I ask simply.
“Common. You don’t talk to your father-in-law like that.”
“You’re not and I will never acknowledge you as one.”
“Why?”
“Because you’re nothing but a fucker. Your daughter probably thought that she has a caring father because you were angry about me owning her. No, Evans. Because of your fucking bruised ego, you didn’t even appreciate her.”
“She’s none of my business. I don’t give a damn about it.”
“questo è pazzesco”Luca curse under his breath utterly disappointed in Hazel’s father.
Her innocent daughter doesn’t even know anything about her father.
“Your wife and son never had the chance to live a good life. Why are you putting on an act with them?”
“My wife fucking knows the job I do.”
“And the shitty life you live too?”
“You killed Chad. Your mother’s blood brother. How are you different from me?”
“He’s such a nuisance.”I huff.
“Give me my drugs or Hazel will go down for it.”
“Your daughter?”I ask utterly surprised.
“I don’t fucking care. I need to get my drug ring back. I don’t give a damn about any family.”He scoff puffing out smoke.
He straddles the girl’s breasts as he talk nonchalantly.
“The drugs are mine. Not even Ricardo can dare show up and ask for it.”
“I paid for my sins. I did all you told me to do.”He yelled.
“You’re not getting any drugs back. I mustn’t see you around Hazel. Or else, you’re gone for it.”
“You won’t even notice. You can’t tell her what I do because she will find out who you truly are.”
“I will deal with it myself.”
Luca couldn’t tolerate his annoying takes anymore, He dragged me out of the room angrily.
“Hazel wasn’t aware?”
“You fucking know that.”I mutter walking down the stairs.
“She’s so unlucky to have a father like her. Shit, the thought of it keeps me mad.”
“I feel like pulling the fucker’s hair.”
“Well. Seems you will have another unlucky one to vent your anger on tonight.”
I turn to him sharply, confused as hell.”What are you talking about?”
He tilted his head to the dance floor. My eyes scan through the room. I saw Hazel dancing with a man on the dance floor, not a normal man but Baron. That bastard. My eyes burned in anger as he roamed his dirty hand on her bare back.
“Well. Not a bad idea.”I snapped off my suit. I threw it in Luca’s direction and stormed angrily to the dance floor.
