Mafia’s possession:Chapter 40
She was in the kitchen, getting dinner ready. Since she was not given a preferred dish to prepare, she decided to make something different.
Aside from the fact that she worked in Dynasty Club, she was a wonderful cook. After thinking for some time, she decided to make Spaghetti Carbonara. The air was filled with the delicious aroma of the food. She became lost in her own activity of trying to get dinner ready. After preparing it, she served it in different dishes for Alexander and the guests.
The food was richly presented with pasta, eggs, beacon sauce and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
Jacqueline moved back to admire her cooking and she gave off a smile of satisfaction before she took the dishes to the dining table.
Everything was carefully laid out and ready,she was so busy arranging the table that she did not hear Alexander's footsteps.
"Seems dinner is ready. Smells good," he looked at the table.
Jacqueline turned when she heard the sound of his voice. She was surprised to see him and hear his compliment. "Thanks," she replied.
He came close to the table and opened a particular dish. His lips curled up in a smile. "Pasta, it's been a long time since I ate it." He covered the dish back. Then continued. "You can go to your room, that would be all for today."
She nodded and made to leave when suddenly, the door burst open and two scary looking men dressed in black suit, walked in. The were huge and their unsmiling faces made them look dangerous.
"Boss," one of them said and bowed to Alexander.
She quickly left them and took the stairs leading to her room. On second thought, she decided to eavesdrop on their conversation, so she tiptoed to a corner and hid behind a door in a room close to the dining room. Watching them and paying attention to every detail being said.
Alexander sat on a chair and crossed his legs, his eyes had a cold hardened look. His men stood few meters away, waiting for him to speak. After what seemed like ages, Alexander cleared his throat and spoke. "Why are you here?," he asked.
One of them stepped forward. "It's about Vicente. We went to his house as instructed to get the money he owes you. To our surprise, we found out that he fled the country last night."
Alexander's face twisted in rage, his eyes were like burning coals. "You let that fool escape!," he thundered.
"N..No boss. We did as instructed. And we found his house empty. Words from the street had it that he fled last night."
"I want you to dig deep and get every information about him.I don't know how you intend doing it, but I want thst idiot found and brought to me alive. No one runs away with my money. If you don't find him, you'll lose your lives. Get out!"
Jacqueline watched from behind the door, seeing these hefty men scurry out of his sight like frightened mouse. She was speechless. He said something about killing those men if they don't find the man whose owes him money.
Was he really capable of killing someone? Jacqueline felt like smacking her head for being stupid. Of course he runs a powerful mafia group and would soon take over completely. People like him would stop at nothing to crush anyone in his path.
She shuddered at the thoughts forming in her head. And she wondered what he would actually do to her once he found out about her secret mission in his mansion. She hoped she will be long gone before he discovers the truth.
Alexander turned towards the door where she stood behind and her heart skipped a beat. He took slow steps towards the door. She became scared. He would definitely see her.
Her eyes darted around the room to see if she could hide somewhere. But there was no where to hide.
What is she going to do? She started breathing hard as adrenaline coursed through her veins. He twisted the handle to open the door. Suddenly, his phone rang, stopping him.
He turned around, his back facing the door as he answered the phone. Jacqueline breathed in relief as she waited for an opportunity to leave the room.
"Yes, you're almost here. Great. I am expecting you," he said as he spoke with the caller.
He moved away from the door to the dining room. Quickly, Jacqueline slipped away from the room and tiptoed to the stairs praying silently that he wouldn't notice. When she got into her room, she opened the door and dashed inside before locking the door.
She brought out her phone to send a text to Chain.
I don't know how useful this will be. Alexander sent his men after someone oweing him money. The man's name is Vicente.
She dropped her phone down and fell on her bed. It was indeed a very busy day for her. She needed to shower to wash the dried sweat off her. But she was so exhausted to even stand.
She decided to rest for a while before going to bath, but her eyes became heavy as she struggled to keep them open. Finally, she gave in and sleep took over her.
In her sleep, she heard voices. Jacqueline thought it was a dream but when it became unbearable, her eyes flew up and looked at the white ceiling for a brief moment.
Her vision became clear and the voices grew louder. She bolted up from her bed. And listened attentively.It seems it was an argument. She recall him telling her about receiving some guests. She shaked her head. Did his guests do something bad?
She couldn't make out what they were arguing about. Out of curiosity, she opened her door gently. Trying not to make a sound. The door was slightly open as she followed the direction of the sound she heard.
It was coming from the living room. She instinctively drew closer. Hiding behind a curtain, she saw an old man who looked exactly like Alexander. He was tall and he had an intimidating presence that reeks of arrogance just like Alexander.
"Father, I have told you countless times that I do not want to take over the the mafia group for now. And you can't force me to act against my wish," he spat.
Jacqueline's eyes widened in surprise. So that's his father.
His father drew closer to him in anger. "You'll do as I wish, your twin brother Alessandro died because of his stubbornness. Don't allow the same fate to befall you."
