Mafia’s possession:chapter 26

Jacqueline waited for Alexander's return but days turned to weeks and eventually, a month passed without her having even a glimpse of him. To think she had been earnestly praying for this to happen and now that it had, she didn't feel as happy as she thought she would. If only she didn't feel so guilty, then maybe she would have been enjoying the opportunity to the fullest.

Jacqueline peered through the window, staring at the parking lot, just like she had been doing for the past one month. The moon shone brightly in the sky and the cold wind blew the baby hair on her face.

Jacqueline sighed, ever since the day Romano had told her to seduce Alexander, she hadn't set her eyes on him because he had left the mansion that same day. It was just her and granny Penelope and also the rest of the other servants that were in the mansion.

Was Alexander really mad at her? She was sure he was. She guessed he might be too angry to come home because he probably didn't want to see her face. Jacqueline pressed her temples in exhaustion. She had asked Penelope if she could visit her family now that Alexander wasn't home but she had said it would be wise to wait for Alexander to return home first.

Although Alexander wasn't present at the mansion, Penelope had made sure she was paid her salary for the month. She was paid four hundred thousand dollars and she had sent most of the money to Ariel for Jennie's treatment. Jacqueline continued to stand by the window as she hoped Alexander would return that night but he never did and she retired to bed in disappointment.

The next day, Jacqueline spent her time in the library. Her black silk hair was packed in a neat ponytail and her eyes skimmed through the books with fascination. She loved reading and working in Dynasty club had made her lack enough time to read. She felt a bit free now, even though Chain still had his hand wrapped around her neck.

She placed the book back on the rack after she was done with it and she walked to the far end of the library. She saw a piano set, sitting lonely at the far end and she quickly walked towards it, with pure fascination.

She sat on the chair, in front of the piano and her fingers ran through the keys, if only she knew how to play. She had always been fascinated by the piano and she wished to learn it but her mother couldn't afford a tutor for her and she had buried her dreams of learning it. She pressed the keys at random and she tried getting comfortable with them.
She spent more time in the library and eventually, she wore herself out.


She went back to her room and she had her bath. She wore her nightwear which was a light button up shirt and black shorts. Her hair fell freely and she headed for the dinning.

Granny Penelope had invited her for dinner and although she had denied the invitation multiple times, Penelope insisted. Jacqueline found it more than strange to eat at the dining hall because she was only a maid in the mansion and not Alexander's guest.

Jacqueline sighed and she sat next to Penelope in the dinning. They both ate in silence at first but then Penelope brought up random topics for them to discuss.

"Have you heard from Alexander? Do you know when he'll be coming back?" Jacqueline asked and Penelope shook her head.

"My dear, you have to stop carrying that guilt in your chest. I'm sure Alexander must have forgotten all about the incident. I heard from Romano that he's spending some time at his friend's place in Verona. You're new here which is why you aren't used to Alexander going on such long trips, there was a time when he took a trip for a whole year.

"A whole year?" Jacqueline gasped and she felt her heart sink. She had to wait for a whole year to see Alexander again? Aside from the fact that Chain was going to dispose of her because she didn't have a role to play anymore, she …she didn't feel right. She dropped her cutlery on the table as she no longer had an appetite.

"Don't tell me you've developed feelings for him" Penelope said and she gave her a mischievous look.

"No granny," Jacqueline replied sadly. "It's just…complicated " She huffed.

Although she remained at the dining table with Penelope, she didn't eat the food on her plate anymore as she had lost her appetite. Penelope finished her meal and Jacqueline got up from the table, she decided to escort Penelope to her room.

Jacqueline's eyes widened as Penelope led her to another side of the mansion and they both entered an elevator. It turned out that Penelope's room was also at the second floor along with Alexander's room but hers was at the far end.

"Goodnight granny" Jacqueline said and she pecked the elderly lady's cheek.

Penelope smiled at the cute action of hers, "Honestly, if you hadn't been here, I would have been feeling lonely but your company is quite cheerful" Penelope said.

"Thanks granny," Jacqueline giggled.

"Do me a favor and clean Alexander's room. That brat doesn't like when people enter his room when goes for his trips but I'm sure it might be dusty by now" Penelope said and Jacqueline nodded gingerly. She turned to leave and she missed the mischievous smirk that slowly appeared on granny Penelope's lips.

Jacqueline decided to find her way through the hallways, she was sure Alexander's room was nearby. After a few minutes of walking, she found his room and she entered inside.

Jacqueline's eyes took in the room which was as neat as ever, there was not even a speck of dust on the furniture. Jacqueline's eyes fell on the bed and she recollected the memory of how Alexander had made her lay on the bed with him.

Her feet involuntarily moved toward the bed and she stared at the king sized bed, she..missed him. After double-checking everything, she turned to leave when she was sure the room was thoroughly clean.

As she walked, she missed her footings and she fell, twisting her ankles. Jacqueline sat on the floor and she whimpered in pain, she could barely move her left leg. Her eyes became red as the pain increased with time. What was worse was that she couldn't call for help as everyone must be in bed .

Jacqueline bit her lips hard to stop herself from screaming and she heard the sound of calculated footsteps approaching her. Her eyes snapped open as she had thought it was granny Penelope but her eyes became wide as saucers when she saw him standing in front of her.

He crouched down to her level and he stared at her with a cold expression on his handsome face.

Jacqueline momentarily ignored the pain that threatened to eat her whole as she stared into his gray eyes.
"Alexander" She blurted without thinking.
