Alita jerked, she felt a stinging pain on her neck as her body began to weaken. She cried more, blinking rapidly to keep her eyes open but it kept drawing close, pulling her to sleep.
“Sleep baby” Lu cuddled her, kissed her forehead, and removed hair away from her face “You will be fine” he cooed.
Slowly like his voice sound like a lullaby, she relax in his strong arms and shut her stormy green eyes.
Lu couldn’t get himself to think or move, he just held her firm and rock her gently, it basically looks like she is his big baby and he wants to put her to sleep.
“She will be fine,” Jordan said, he placed his palm on Lu’s shoulder and squeeze it “I won’t do anything to harm her, she will just be out in a couple of hours but will be fine”
Lu sigh, he took Alita in his arms and carried her to his bed. His towel threatened to fall off but he didn’t respond, he placed her comfortably on the bed and kissed her slightly parted lips.
“Where did you get the teaser from?”
Jordan flinched a little, he wasn’t expecting Lu to ask at all for it was a teaser. He picked up his bag and walked to him.
“Every mission you take me you never forget to give me a gun or something to defend myself” He opened the bag “because I would refuse to use them, you gave me the teaser the last time and promised to kill my mother if I die”
Lu scoffed, he wasn’t in a good mood for he would have laughed his tongue out after Jordan’s explanation. It happened that Jordan had hacked into Lu’s account and stole a huge amount of money to pay for his mother’s operations. Long story short, he got apprehended, didn’t have money to pay so he have to work for it.
“I found out about the person in your office” Jordan whispered, he studied Lu’s worried eyes and smiled “Its Luca”
Lu chuckled, he crooked his brows and stared intensively at Jordan. He ignored the fact that he still had only his towel around his waist and Jordan’s eyes had refused to leave his V line. He tilted his head to stare more at the young boy’s distracted face and raised his brows.
“Don’t tell me you are gay!” Lu intoned “Jordan!?” He snapped his fingers across Jordan’s face.
The young boy smiled, he quickly looked away as his gaze homes on Alita’s body, he resumed his serious stare then cleared his throat awkwardly.
“Are you bisexual?” Lu suggested and the boy blushed “Fuck me!” He exclaimed.
He dashed to his chest and grabbed a long jacket, he felt better for the boy and himself as the blazer covered his body. He walked back to Jordan who still had his funny blush and smile on his face.
“Sorry sir, I can’t help it” Jordan folded his arms, he waited for Lu to maybe yell at him but nothing “Okay!”
He brought out his phone, went through it, and turned the screen to Lu.
“That’s Luca,” he said and Lu nodded in agreement “The problem we still have is that he doesn’t have the tattoo sir”
Lu’s forehead formed wrinkles, he hand the phone back to Jordan and walked away. His hands were behind him as he walked around the room in deep thought.
“Are you trying to say you still haven’t the real video?” Lu said, he took his seat on the couch and stretched his leg “You can’t be right”
“I don’t understand you, sir,” Jordan asked confused.
He did want he was asked to do what then is his boss talking about. He cleaned his palms on his trousers nervously as he search for the right words to use. Initially, he doesn’t look focused, his gaze still finds a way to stare at Alita once again while his mind kept analyzing what had happened the previous night.
He couldn’t help but watch his boss and his pet makes love last night, the way she screamed and called his names made him hard. The sight of Lu’s dick from the camera made him want to have it in his mouth and suck it hard. He couldn’t believe the two people he had a crush on had sex together and all he could do was watch.
“Jordan?” Lu called “Are you okay?” He asked.
Jordan swallowed, he stared at Lu for a while totally speechless, he couldn’t afford to tell his boss he was thinking about how he felt and is currently feeling when he saw them make love last night. He couldn’t tell him that he had jerked his dick hard till he cum just because he saw them doing what he had always wanted from them.
He quickly placed his hands on his stomach and grinned.
“Just a little stomach upset,” he said “Can you please repeat what you had said”
Lu sigh, he sat up from the chair and began to move his leg, it was obvious he wasn’t comfortable.
“How sure are you that Luca is the snitch?” He asked “We both saw the tattoo in the last video”
Jordan placed his finger on his lips and pretend to think fast.
“What is if I act like an informant ” he suggested “I can pretend to be on his side and get to know what he knows”
The look on Lu’s face was priceless, his jaw dropped as he wondered how the boy had stayed alive till this date.
“You are 20 Jordan” he stated.
“In the next two months,” Jordan corrected “I will be twenty in the next two months”
“That’s the point” Lu stood up and walked to Him “You have just you sick mother and if you don’t want to see her cry over you from heaven, moving with him would be a bad idea”
“I know” Jordan replied “He sat on the bed next to Alita and moved when Lu glared at him ” I already thought about it,” he said “I am 99% sure that he is the one that’s why I thought about you asking him”
“That’s not an option, I had known Luca for years now and he won’t do anything as such” Lu said.
There was silence as Lu thought about what to do. Obviously, he can’t just go ahead to kill one of his most trusted men. Even when he felt like shooting his brain out, he remembered Alita’a case and wondered what would happen to Vito, Luca’s son.
He hasn’t finished taking care of Bone’s daughter and he had to send them to foster care, ordering that he needs to know the people adopting them before they go. The last thing he wants for these kids is to bring them into the mafia line.
But if the tattoo is really not in Luca’s hand, who would have been the second person. He remembered how they used his face and body to fake the first video and his heart dropped into his stomach.
“Alita knows the person with the tattoo,” Jordan said “I am not saying she is a snitch but when I watched video footage from your last attack, I noticed she was trying to tell Rocco about the person with the tattoo”
He brought out his phone from his pocket and placed a video on it, it was when Alita, Rocco, and Ugo were walking to a room a week ago. It was the white party, where Lu meet his ex-wife.
His gaze tightened as he watched Alita tug Rocco’s shirt, they could barely hear what she was saying and he had to put his face closer to the phone. Still yet, he couldn’t get it, he stared at Ugo’s wrist but didn’t get anything.
“There is nothing here” Lu blurted out in disappointment.
“That’s because it’s not the original video,” Jordan said “I can’t have access to check directly into their CCTV and you know what it would be like if you do”
Lu’s shoulders dropped, he rubbed his neck and stared at Alita in surprise, he didn’t want to imagine she was working with Rocco or had known he killed her dad and was planning to bring him down together.
“If Alita was working with Rocco,” Jordan said as if he could see Lu thought from his face “He wouldn’t have raped her till she pass out”
They locked their gaze for a while not knowing what to say.
Lu wouldn’t want Jordan to know he truly loves Alita and he doesn’t appreciate that the young boy had to watch her be raped. Had he even watched he had sex with her or was it just that video he saw because he was asked to check into it.
Mere looking at him, he felt he wasn’t supposed to let Jordan know everything he need to do because the boy act like a suspect too. With a straight face, clueless of whatever was in his troubled mind, he stood up and walked to the bathroom.
“Put her in the room next to mine” he ordered “That’s the only one without a camera”
