Chapter 14
Kiera Stevens’s POV ||
The entire ball went silent around me. I could already tell that Anastasia was smirking at me. Maybe, she had already seen through how fucked up our relationship was. A bowl of bucket water froze me as soon as his words fell out,
*Miss Stevens is very beautiful. It’s an honor to feel attracted by her.”
I blinked a few times in disbelief. He got with the answer just like that, confident, arrogant and creepy. It was something like he was already prepared for the tricky questions that those reporters made for him. Now, I was more convinced that he was the lead of the Mahas
Murmurs from those witty girls broke my attention from the TV. In a snap of the moment, their attitude began to change towards me. Their gazes told me that they were scared of me now.
Power..Money..That all could do to you..
“He is interested in you surely. Jk spoke shaking his head slightly with a smile. I just returned a stiff smile, unsure about how to react because I never wanted to be here because of him. I needed to settle this score with him as soon as we niet,
Anastasia slammed something on her dresser, catching our attention. Her assistant soon leant onto her to whisper confidently.
‘Don’t worry about that wench. MrJasper dates on you more, Anastasia,”
I rolled my eyes at their concerns. Whoever she fucked, it was never my business. I didn’t know after many years, why did she still care about me!
“Wow! Wow! Congratulations!“, jk came to me fi
first as soon as I climbed off the stage. According to their words,all the investors were limpressed with me. Although I wasn’t the show opener,they praised me more. I was grateful for the little achievement today alibough it was everything for Luca. At least, he didn’t disgrace me today.
We hugged shortly after going to the dressing room. I wanted to get out first before meeting Anastasia again because all she could do was spoil my mood. Picking up my staff as fast as possible, I headed straight for the exit. A voice halted my truck, my breathing faded as soon as I heard him,
– Fier…..
I turned and saw my long lost boyfriend, Jasper. Instead of calmness, I detected a sleeping storm behind his eyes today. He was probably here to pickup Anastasia. He took a step forward to speak calmly, his eyes looking around cautiously,
I heard that you are seeing Mr.Azrael De Luca?”
Oh Come out Not again! I was already exhausted with this topic!.
But I played cool in front of my ex who left me for my best friend. Crossing my arms over my chest, I replied firmly,
* ¦ think, it’s none of your business”
His jaw clenched slightly, replied after taking a slurp breath,
I am just concerned about you. Listen, Mr. Luca isn’t that simple. He comes from a difficult background. It’s better that you stay away from him”
Good lord! I know him better than you!
I scoffed back, getting on my heels again to walk for my car,
Thanks but I don’t care about your comment.”
I started walking to my car again until a black SUV was spotted nearby Laickily, Jasper didn’t chase me this time as Anastasia’s voter began to come from indoors. The poor guy didn’t dare to affect his image in front of Anastasia as always. The says from the headlight blocked my sight which happened to prevent my sight from the front. I heard Matteo’s voice, cold, humorless like his master,
khus, Luca wants to see you tonight”
My lips tightened in distress Good! Because I wanted to see him too. I wanted to tell him that
want pity fromn him and don t back with my

Chapter 14
|| AZRAEL DE LUCAS POV ||
“I am so honored. Luca. You have finally responded to me, Mr. Luke kept saying his words of gratitude. He had been waiting for weeks to seal the deal unul 1 approved him. Although he was no me for me, his son–in–law was a pretty handful
up my cigarette, let that old man beam in happiness for a while, Matteo went for her a few minutes ago. I needed to fuck her tonight. I knew That sounded crazy but all I could think of was her moans for an entire day. Perhaps, I didn’t fuck her. It was a valid reason behind everything. 1 could rip off her reputation today but I didn’t play with her enough.
“I want a small favor from you, Mr. Luke“, I spoke as I held the cigarette between my fingers, ashes dropping from it. He replied at once, nodding with a smile,
“Anything. Luca!”
smirked, thrashing the cigarette on the table slightly.
“Your daughter is married to the Mayor. One of my trucks has been grounded for carrying illegal weapons in the Northern State. I want you to give it a pass for me.
His eyes grew wide like bulbs, mouth parting in disbelief. He repeated in chorus, sweating hard,
Lillegal weapons you.”
I smiled smugly, slightly leaning forward to whisper calmly,
“yes and do it fast because I don’t plan to make your daughter a widow. It’s just a small task. Besides, I won’t be living here forever.
His expression told him that he was hesitating. His son–in–law was an arrogant brat who was full of justice,never doing anything illegal but I guess, he was going to break the rule for me. Because I was made to break the rules.
“Goodbye. Mr.Luke“. I got on my feet to leave, leaving the man in pure shock and bewilderment. He definitely caught my threat. I assumed that he was going to make his son–in–law this little change for me.
Taking another puff from my cigarette, I spoke to my other man, Jack next to me,
How is the matter going with that missing girl?”
Jack was more professional than Matteo. He never spoke more than it was needed. He replied. following me to my car closely,
It will take two more days to recover thuse footage, Luca,”
I hissed in annoyance. I hated technology sometimes because that didn’t work for money like people did. Jack was a smart man as he was younger than Matteo and was more familiar with the modern technology world. He gave me this idea that there were people in the world who could make things possible. Perhaps, they would be able to recover those deleted footage
Jack spoke again, getting on the front seat in a swift,
“By the way, Lura! Miss Stevens has seen
n someone today. Since you told us to keep a close eye on her, our men saw it from a distance.”
“Who
it, I spat, wondering. I trusted no one in this world. Even if she was just a part time Mistress, I needed to ensure that she was no threat to me. So I kept giving these words to observe her always in secret.
“Jasper Matthew McConaughey, Jack added, looking back at me,
I asked again, unaware about this man.
“What does he want from her?”
Jack replied after hesitating for a while,
“Well, he is the man that Miss had a relationship with previously. I assume that he
e is the sam
same man who fathered her child. He is no harm to us
Bring her to me NOW, I blurted, clenching my teeth hard. She was seeing my ex behind my back. What did she want from him! Maybe, she tog fasy on me. She might be someone’s else in the past but she is intine, Mine NOW!
