Chapter 12
Alexander stared at the mafias who bowed to him with a bored expression. He had expected them to rebel a little longer, he was in the mood to shed blood after all. He raised his elegant fingers, signifying for them to rise.
Romano walked up to Alexander and he glared at him but Alexander responded with an innocent smirk like he didn't know why Romano was glaring at him.
Alexander dismissed the mafias and the soldiers from the room, leaving Alexander alone with Romano.
"Explain" Romano said as he glared at him.
"I made a bet with Steel, he lost" Alexander said simply even when the process was far more complicated than that. Steel was stupid, stupid enough to think he could go unpunished for double-crossing him. Taking over the Albania empire was just the thriller, he would make sure Steel and the rest of his mafias pay hard for what they did to him.
"What's the point of even asking?" Romano scoffed. "Finish up so we can get the hell out of this country" Romano said and he walked away, leaving Alexander there.
Alexander chuckled, he couldn't wait to leave Albania either, not when he had a fascinating little toy waiting for him.
Rome, 10pm………..
Jacqueline rolled back and forth in the bed, she had difficulty sleeping because she had been forced to sleep throughout the day thanks to her fake illness.
She groaned in frustration and she got down from the bed, she hoped Alexander never came back from his trip. Penelope had told her Alexander went on trips and sometimes he doesn't return back home, even after months had passed.
Jacqueline wondered if he had gone on that type of trip that would make him not return for years. If that happened then Chain would get tired of waiting and then she would be set free. But judging from how things hadn't been going her way for the past few weeks, she doubted if her imaginations would become reality.
She took her phone and she began playing games with it to while away time. She hoped the mobile games would make her fall asleep but it didn't and she eventually got bored with it. She logged in her Instagram account but it was useless also, the only person she talked to was Ariel and she wasn't online.
Jacqueline sighed in frustration and she placed her phone under her pillow. She laid motionlessly on her bed as she kept thinking about different things. An hour passed, but yet, she couldn't fall asleep.
Jacqueline got up from the bed and her body swayed a bit when she did. She took off her clothes and she got into the bathroom to take a bath.
She turned on the shower and she stood under it as the cold water helped relax her nerves. She stared at her reflection and her eyes hardened when she saw her reflection.
Her long black hair cascaded down her body, her eyes fell on the tattoo on her shoulder. A small Chain was tattooed on her shoulder, indicating she belonged to Chain.
Each time she tried to get over the trauma she had experienced in her initial days at the club, the tattoo always reminded her of it. She hadn't wanted to get the tattoo but she had been pinned down by Chain's men and Chain had personally drawn the tattoo on her shoulder.
Jacqueline turned off the faucet and her eyes glistened with unshed tears. She wrapped her towel around her body and she walked out of the bathroom.
Her eyes almost fell out of their sockets when she saw Alexander standing in her room, he leaned on the wall with a stick of weed between his pale pink lips.
Jacqueline took a step backwards and she almost lost her footings but she quickly regained her stance. She tightened her grip around the towel as she stared at him. The towel was short, way too short and it stopped at her mid thigh. Water continued to drip down her body and felt like a little helpless animal under his scrutinizing gaze.
"What…what are you doing here?" Jacqueline asked nervously. How did he get in without her knowledge? What was he doing in her room so late at night?
"I heard you were sick, what kind of boss would I be if I didn't spare some time to check up on my personal maid" he said and Jacqueline was smart enough to tell he was being sarcastic, had he found out she had been faking?
Her cheeks turned red when she remembered the incident that took place in the pool. She had been careful enough to not leave her room, just so she wouldn't meet with another misfortune but now, Alexander had personally come to meet her.
"Thanks for checking up on me, I would like to wear my clothes and then get some sleep" Jacqueline said in the most polite tone she could think of.
She couldn't pinpoint it but there was something off about him, his aura was more daunting than usual and his coldness gave her goosebumps.
His cold metallic eyes made eye contact with hers and Jacqueline got scared, making her involuntarily take a step backwards.
"Don't" Alexander's voice resounded in her ear, as his dominating presence filled her senses. "Don't run," he said as he took a step forward.
However, it was like Jacqueline's legs had a mind of their own and she took another step backwards making Alexander smirk sinisterly.
"If you run…" he drawled as he continued approaching her and Jacqueline kept moving backwards. She gasped when her back made contact with the wall, there was nowhere else to run to.
Alexander got closer to her and he placed both his hands at the side of her head, trapping her between himself and the wall.
"I'll catch you and when I do, I'll make sure I have you till there's nothing left of you" he said coldly and Jacqueline felt her heart skip as he invaded her senses.
