Chapter 29:Mafia’s possession
She was done for. This will be the ultimate end for her. Jacqueline's heart kept beating fast like a school drum. As she stood in utmost.confusion.
"C-Chain," she stuttered as she tried to control her raging heartbeat.
Chain stood a few feet from where she stood as he glared at her. "Jayz," he said in a low, dangerous tone. His eyes took in her appearance. She looked astonishingly beautiful but he was not here to admire her beauty. Maybe his visit will remind her of her purpose here.
She was supposed to report back to him with detailed information of Alexander's activities but what had she done? Give him crumbs of information! Which made him mad with anger.
Alexander approached them and stood next to Jacqueline. His tall frame was domineering even Chain could not help but cower at his presence. He snaked his arm around her tiny waist, bringing her closer to him. He couldn't help but notice her discomfort, maybe she was shy.
"Chain, I must say it's quite a surprise seeing you here. To what do I owe this visit," Alexander said. His grey eyes were focused on Chain who seemed intimidated by Alexander's presence.
He managed a smile. "I flew in days ago to see a friend. Then I remembered you live within this vicinity, so I decided to drop by and say hello."
"That's thoughtful of you Chain.It's been months since I last saw you," Alexander said in his baritone voice.
Jacqueline sighed in relief. She was alarmed and panic-stricken when she saw Chain. Maybe he had come to expose her mission in Alexander's mansion. Which was odd. Because it will lead to their untimely death.
That was a close one. Though a part of her was not satisfied with the answer Chain gave.
She knew Alexander was an esteemed client who patronised the Dynasty club. But it seems Chain has a close relationship with Alexander. Which she never knew existed.
Alexander casted his grey orbs on her. With a charming smile, he whispered into her ear, "Go get ready for the event. I will see you soon." He removed his hands from her waist.
She nodded and spun on her heels, quickly leaving them behind. Before her emotions would betray her. She was scared to her wits when she saw Chain but now felt relieved that it was just a visit and nothing more.
Deep down, she knew there was more to Chain's visit. And a sudden wave of restlessness struck her. The moment she neared the door leading to the large room, she calmed her raging nerves then exhaled before twisting the handle and the door opened.
"There you are," Penelope smiled, looking at her delightfully. "Come, you need to get ready on time. Alexander does not condone lateness."
"Fine, I am ready now."
Jacqueline sighed as she sat on a chair and the hair stylist began to style her long black hair into elegance. Her make up was exquisitely done which added to her beauty. At the moment she couldn't see her face. With the way Penelope's eyes shone with admiration, she was convinced that the hair stylists and makeup artists had done a perfect job.
They finally settled on a gown which she quickly changed into.
It was a strapless gown which hugged her beautiful shape nicely. The plunging neckline exposed a part of her cleavage. When Jacqueline turned to the mirror, her lips parted in surprise as the words stuck in her throat.
What she saw was an image of elegance and beauty. She could barely recognize herself because the hair stylists and makeup artists had out done themselves by producing a perfect depiction of herself.
"This looks beautiful," Jacqueline admitted, blinking her eyes in surprise. She could tell that what she had on was outrageously expensive and of the best quality. The stylists stood back, admiring her beauty
Penelope was gushing all over her. "Look at you Jacqueline, aren't you the most beautiful of them all."
Jacqueline laughed lightly, her eyes sparkling in delight. "Thanks for the compliment."
"You're welcome. Something is missing," Penelope said.
Jacqueline's eyesight dimmed as she looked at Penelope in confusion. "Missing?, what could that be?," she asked.
"I will be right back," Penelope left the room in hurried steps. And Jacqueline was lost in confusion. The stylists brought out a pair of high heels and Jacqueline wore them.
Her appearance gave a graceful poise which complimented her beautiful look.
Penelope returned with a gift box. "Take this, it's from Alexander," she handed it to Jacqueline who was stunned.
She collected it. And quickly unwrapped the gift box and when she opened it, her eyes grew huge like a saucepan over what lay in the box. It was expensive jewellery.
The stylists craned their necks for a better view while Penelope smiled sweetly at Jacqueline.
She couldn't contain her surprise. Penelope brought out the sparkling diamond-studded necklace and gently placed it on her neck, and clasped it. The earrings were adorned with tiny diamond-studded caps, adding a touch of sophistication.
"This is too much," Jacqueline felt like crying.
"Nothing is too much for you. Alexander wants you to have them," Penelope replied. "Don't keep him waiting."
Jacqueline smiled and gave Penelope a hug. "Thanks granny."
Hugging her affectionately. "Hmmm, I shouldn't be the one you'll thank. It's all Alexander's idea. Now go be with him."
Jacqueline chuckled. "Alright, see you later." Then she left the room. Carefully climbing the stairs, she made her way to meet him.
"Yes, get the shipment ready," Alexander was having a phone conversation with his back turned towards her.
"Mr. Vladimir," Jacqueline called softly. He stood alone, Chain was nowhere in sight.
His back stiffened when he heard his name, then he turned swiftly. He was mesmerised by her gorgeousness. "I'll call you back," then he ended the call.
"You look ravishingly beautiful," Alexander said as he drew closer to Jacqueline.
"Thank you for the gift," she muttered.
Then the expression on his face changed into a cold look. Which got Jacqueline worried. "Mr. Vladimir, is there a problem?"
He strolled away from her, shoving his hands in his pocket. "I know why you're here."
