Chapter Sixty two
My parents think she is sleeping over at my house, they entrusted me with her and I trusted her by bringing here. I can’t believe the whole time she was trying to play me, maybe she got kidnapped or worse. Oh god.
“Would you stop it please?”
“Stop what?”
“Stop panicking, over exaggerating things. She’s fine; she is probably boning someone in one of the rooms right now”
“How could you say that?” I ask amazed at this man’s audacity
“She wanted to bone me princess but I refused in honor of our friendship with Cyrus. Although I did kiss the hell out of her and maybe…”
“Nonono…I don’t want to hear it. Just stop” I say putting my hands on my ears and covering them. I don’t want to know what Valentina and Alex did even though he said they didn’t actually have sex
We are silent as I take a seat and decide this is the time to stay put and wait for the news of her abduction. Did she really propose to this Alex guy? Unbelievable.
“You don’t like me very much” Alex says into the quite room looking at me
“I don’t hate you either. I just wanted you to leave Valentina alone, you’re wild and risky and I didn’t like your influence on Valentina one single bit. I knew something would happen and this happens”
“It’s not my fault you know. I didn’t lose a five year old in a candy store, she is a grown ass woman just like you and she went to the toilet. I went with her and waited outside no one kidnapped her or the women would be screaming murder by now, but.”
“But?” I ask with a raised eyebrow which earns me a smirk
“She could have sneaked past me while I was working my charm on a set of twins I met outside the bathroom door. I admit I was a bit distracted there for a minute. Can you imagine? twins?”
“I don’t think I can relate”
“Cyrus would. Then he catches himself seeing the change on me and continues “he would before he was happily married or whatever. A changed man that one.” he says winking at me and I frown not believing a word from his mouth.
We are silent again until he move to pour himself a drink which earns a scolding from me, he smiles when he notices raising the glass to me before he drinks up
“I like you; you’re not what i imagined princess. Why haven’t we hang out before? I am sure you would have liked me under different circumstances”
“I am sorry to disagree with you and maybe we never hang out before because I am married your BFF” I say mockingly the last part
“The woman Cyrus described was so boring and meek but you are pure fire”
“Cyrus talks about me?” I ask unable to help myself. My pride makes me wish I could take it back but I didn’t think Cyrus even remembered I existed until I was in his direct eye sight.
“Talks about you? I have been hearing about Bella before I even knew how to get a woman off” he says proudly shaking his head. I have no clue why he is shaking his head
“Does everything have to involve sex with you?”
“No. like this conversation now, I am not sexual proposing anything”
“I can’t believe Cyrus used to talk about me” I say to myself but with the amused smile Alex gives me, I think he heard it too.
“You guys grew up together right? It has to be hard to not talk about the girl who is a permanent fixture in your family, always there twenty four seven giving you puppy eyes, just begging for your attention. I would have fucked you by the time you were sixteen.” He says finishing his drink in a huge gulp
“Do you have to be so crude?”
“Just telling it as it is” Alex answers with his hands up.
I sigh and just then the door opens and Cyrus walks in, He watches us first and then looks at me. I can sense that its bad news
“Please don’t tell me she is dead. Was she kidnapped?” I say following Cyrus and attacking him with questions
“What? No! Why would you think that what have you been telling her?” Cyrus says to me then immediately diverts his attention to his friend
“Your wife exaggerates shit too much, I told her to relax. You know I am the chill man” Alex answers back while he gets himself comfortable on his seat. I roll my eyes at his dramatic show to look cool
“Can you just tell me please?” I ask him holding his hand to divert his attention back to me. He looks at my hands in his, sighs and then looks at me as he says
“Well the good news is that your little scheming cousin is alive”
“So there’s bad news?” I ask
“The bad news is that she is in a private booth with the Russians” he finishes
“The Russians? I don’t understand, I thought this was your club. Just go and get her out” I say to him as I let his hand go and hug myself because I know there is something more to it.
“Its Alex Lenkov and he is testing the foundation of our peaceful agreement. That’s what you have to understand” he says as he brushes his hair with his fingers
“Alex that little fucker. I hate I have to share my name with him, his always trying to start up shit” Alex contributes
“Don’t I know it?” Cyrus says as he inhales and then looks at me regretfully and a bit reluctantly “he wants to see you so he can let your cousin go” I am both surprised and confused by this
“Why does he need to see me? If she is there against her will, he should just let her go and not make demands” I tell him, after the wedding I am really not looking forward to meeting Alex Lenkov again.
“He says if you do not show up he is going to leave with her and kill her since we would be the ones who broke our contract. He doesn’t care if this leads to war”
