Drakes POV
“But guess what, Rosalie…
I was glad you left…
And on that note, I need you gone before I get back from work with my wife. And this time, if you dare to steal from me again, I’m going to fucking maim you.” I warned her sternly.
She is beginning to get on my nerves, and I don’t like it. I’m trying so hard to control my anger, I don’t want Mia to know me that way, I can’t let her see my other side, at least not yet. Of course, I would come clean with her, I can’t possibly lie to her forever, can I?
I would tell her everything, but not like this, and not in front of whore, not in front of Rosalie. She is lying, I can tell she is lying. She has a trick up her sleeves, but I won’t wait around to find out what she is planning. I pushed the button under my table, calling in the security guards outside the house.
“Make sure she leaves this house before I get back home. She is a fucking thief, so make sure she doesn’t steal a pin from my house.” I instructed them fiercely, making her gasp in shock as I called her a thief in front of everyone. I ignore her angry glare and the stares from everyone around the dining table.
“Are you done with breakfast, my love,” I asked Mia, smiling widely at her.
“Yeah, babe,” she responded sweetly, trying to sound cool to me. I could tell that she is upset, I know she has a lot of questions to ask me, especially about the things she just heard about me from Rosalie. She is upset because I didn’t tell her the truth about me, Or maybe she is pissed off at me because I wasn’t paying attention to her while I was tackling Rosie.
Whatever the case may be, she didn’t let it get to her, she went along with our plans and she acted all cool and nice as I led her toward the door. I could feel Roselie’s burning gaze on our backs as we both walked hand in hand, leaving her gawking after us.
“I’m not leaving Drake, and you can’t make me.
I won’t go!
I won’t!
I won’t!” She called out to us as we neared the door.
“You have my orders, guys. You can drag her out of her if she refuses to cooperate with you guys.” I admonished them before stepping out with Mia. But just before I shut the door, she called out to me, saying something that caught my attention immediately…
“I have the purple flash drive,” she let out smugly, smirking evilly at me. I thought she was bluffing, so I ignored her and shut the door, leaving her with my guards who stood hovering around her. I led Mia to my black Rolls Royce, and I opened the door for her, letting her step into the car. I turned around to the other side of the car, and I got in as well before ordering the driver to take us straight to the office.
“What was that all about, what was she talking about?
She said you have demons within you, why would she think that you are living a fake life with me?
Is there something you are not telling me, is there something I need to know about you?” Mia asked rapidly, bombarding me with numerous questions. I knew this was going to happen, I was actually expecting her to ask me questions about the things Rosalie said. But it’s just too soon to be asking so many questions, besides her questions ate too many, where the fuck do I start from?
Besides, this topic is very sensitive to me, I can’t share these secrets with her until I’m sure that she tried completely. I don’t want to talk about it now, I’m just not ready to share my toughest secrets with her, she won’t be able to handle it rightly, she may see me as a monster, and she may flare up and react most unimaginably. I need time to come up with a perfect moment to share my story with her. But until then, she needs to learn to just trust me and be patient with me.
“I’m not ready to have this talk with you yet. Could you please give me more time?” I pleaded. She only rolled her eyes and looked the other way, ignoring me. I would have tried to appease her with some sweet words, but I got distracted by the chimes of my phone. It was a message from an unknown number so I clicked it open immediately, and that was when I saw something that should never be seen in public. It was a file from my purple flash drive, a file that should never be seen by the government or any other mob boss.
This could be my downfall…
“Turn the car around,” I called out to the driver immediately.
“Is everything okay, sir?” the driver asked.
“Yea, Drake, is everything okay?
We are so close to the office, why are we turning around?
Did something happen?” Mia asked me as well, looking so disturbed and sounding suspicious and curious.
“Everything is fine, Mia. I just have to take care of something very important. We’ll head back to the office in a bit, or you can go ahead first if you don’t want to turn back with me.” I offered.
“Oh, Really Drake, Really?
You want to go back to her, don’t you?
You were only pretending to hate her all along, you just wanted to get me out of the way so you can have the whole house to yourself. Well, I’m out now. So you can go ahead and screw her as much as you like.
Screw you, Drake!
Screw You!” she yelled furiously, picking up her bags from the car.
“Pull over!” she called out to the driver.
“Stop the damn car!” she added furiously when the driver did not listen to her the first time. She got out immediately the car pulled over, she got out and banged the door so hard that the whole car shook violently. I watched her hail a cab, and I watched the cab drive off towards the office, with her sitting on the passenger side of the car.
I could have stopped her…
I should have stopped her…
But I didn’t. I let her leave on purpose, I don’t want her to witness what is about to happen. I tried to warn, Rosalie.
I really tried!
“Let’s go,” I ordered the driver when her cab drove out of sight. He turned the car around and took me back home. I could see two guards standing next to her while the maids brought out her luggage. She has a smug smile on her face as she watched my car driving through the driveway. She thinks she is smart, she has no idea what she has just done. She is the reason why Mia and I have been fighting since last night. Mia thinks the worst of me and it’s all her fucking fault. She is certainly going to pay for this!
“Drake!
Wait, we can talk about it, I’m not here to cause trouble for you, I’m here because I need you.
Drake!
Please Stop!
Don’t come any closer!
Please stop!” She pleaded hysterically as I strode towards her, looking so furious. I was too pissed to listen to anything she has to say, I walked up to her and landed two slaps on her face. She fell on her butt, yelling in pain and rubbing her cheeks to stop the pain. I know it is wrong to hit a woman, but I just couldn’t hold back. She fucking pushed me, she is a fucking snake, a deadly viper!
I can’t believe that I was ever in love with this girl, how did I fail to notice all this, how could I let a snake into my backyard, what the hell was I thinking?
“Where is it!
Who sent you?
Who did you give it to, What the fuck are you doing here?” I yelled in her face, wrapping my hands around her neck and backing her against a wall.
“I’m one step away from snapping your neck, Rosalie. I suggest you start talking right now before I hand you over to my boys. I would treat you like the traitor that you are.
Where is my flash drive, and who asked you to get it?
Do you know what I have in that flash, who have you shown it to, where is it?” I asked continuously. She couldn’t say a word to me, she was struggling to pry my hands away from her neck, and she kept struggling to breathe, but I didn’t let her go, I let her struggle for a while, making her beg for mercy. When I finally threw her to the floor, she coughed and gasped for breath.
“You bastard!
I could have sold it to the highest bidder when I had the chance. I know the contents of that stupid flash, Drake. I know what your enemies would pay me just to have that flash drive. But I never sold it because I love you. I love you, Drake, I need you.” She confessed. I know she is lying, I’ve learned never to believe her words, I can see through those fake tears on her face, there is no way she would keep that flash because of one stupid love. She is still lying, but I will get the truth out of her.
“Get me that flash drive!” I ordered my guards firmly, sitting down on the chair in front of her, watching everything that is going on in front of me. They pounced on her and strapped her to a chair, getting her ready to be tortured. They are my boys, this is how they operate. They don’t show mercy to anyone, they have just one answer to every riddle. Torture is their answer to every question. She kept screaming and trashing around, trying to break free. But she doesn’t stand a chance against the two guards that held her firmly while the other guards tied her to the chair.
While they strapped her to the chair, the maids went through her things, searching for my flash drive. She sat there and watched as they scanned her things, searching for them. She still wasn’t scared of anything, she has a smug smile on her face, looking so unfazed. It’s easy to tell that she has the upper hand in this game, she knows something that I don’t know. She has all the cards and she is calling the shots, she has it all planned out already, and I don’t know how to get her to talk. She seems to be enjoying my discomfort, and she smiled at me as I looked at her fixedly, trying to figure out her end game.
They found her laptop and iPod. I took her laptop from one of the maids and I placed it on my lap and turned it on. Luckily, she hasn’t changed her password. I saw her reaction when I unlocked her laptop. The color drained from her face and her eyes went as wide as saucers. I guess she never thought that I would still remember her passwords, she never knew I could access the information on her laptop. She thought she has me all figured out, I guess she is still underrating me, she has no idea what I am capable of.
“That’s my personal stuff, Drake!
You can’t go through my laptop, you can’t do that!
Stop it, you asshole!
I’ll kill you for this!
I’ll fucking kill you!” She yelled hysterically like a fucking lunatic.
“Boss, we found it, sir!
We found the purple flash drive!” the guards called out to me, making me look up from her laptop. She groaned angrily, kicking at the chair, struggling to break free from the bonds holding her down.
“Check it!
Make sure everything is in there!” I instructed firmly. I was captivated by the information she has on her laptop, I just can’t believe that she has all this stuff on her laptop. If I didn’t know better, I would say that she is an undercover cop.
Wait,
Is she a cop?
I mean, it’s only a cop that has the right to possess so much information about people, right?
I have no idea how she was able to get all this information about these guys, it feels like she has incriminating information that could destroy every mob boss that I ever know. If I have this information, I could destroy the operations of my enemies, with this information, I won’t have anyone to contend with me.
“What have you gotten yourself into?”
