Mafia's Property [Editing]

xxxvi.

AZALEA'S POV :

Those footsteps became louder as it came close. Alright, it can be someone else but that's not what it is, this person is really close to me. What the hell I'm supposed to do? Ok, it's not time to panic.

Maybe I should try my naruto run. No no, bad idea. I generally keep self defense objects in my pocket.

I took out my tactile knife as it came closer and closer. When it just stood behind me and placed it's hand on my shoulder, I turned around, attacking him before he held my hand.

Oh!!

"Jax!!! " I exclaimed.

This is Jax Oliver. He's our neighbor. He's 27 and works in a law firm. Quite overconfident type of person, But nice to talk with... Sometimes. You can call him a playboy as girls throw themselves at him because of his looks. I personally don't like him. He just has looks, no brain.

"Woww!!! Chill, it's me, Jax." he said releasing his grip on my wrist.

"Oh Jax, you scared me. I'm sorry, I thought it was some kind of creep. " I said as he replied smiling,

"Oh No, it's not your fault. By the way, where are you going all alone. It's not quite safe. I noticed you from my car and came to ask if you need some help. "

I glanced at my phone and replied,

"Actually, I came here for some work and now I'm going back. My cab will be here in some time."

"You don't have to wait for the cab. I'll drive you back. Let's go." he said.

"It's okay, I'll.... " I said as he spoke before I could complete,

"I insist."

I think it's fine as the way back to the apartment is not that long. I agreed as he led me to his car. He opened the door for me and then got in. I'm not keeping my knife in for sure.

As he was driving, I kept looking at my phone. To be honest, I don't like to be near him. He's nice and all that but I don't find him interesting as all he does is flirt with me.

"So, how are you now?" he said glancing at me.

"Quite good." I replied, not willing to talk any further.

"You'll make such an amazing mother. If I was your husband, I would never do something like that. He must be a real jerk." He said.

"No, he's not." I disagreed with him and started looking out.

He cannot say whatever he wants about him. It makes my blood boil whenever anyone talks like this or disrespects him, don't ask me why. I thought he won't speak after this but he said clearing his throat.

"Uh..... Well have you thought about children's custody? I mean what if he decided to go to court for it? "

A sudden wave of fear ran through my nerves. Custody!!!! What if he really tried? I can't let this happen. I can't. All I have with me are my babies, if he takes them away, I can't live.

I froze at my position as he spoke again,

"Um... Well, Azalea, if you need any help with this case, you can let me know. I have a friend, he'll deal with it."

I wasn't in condition of answering anything. This strength to live again that I have collected, I can't let it break like this. I'll have to do something, as soon as possible.

Throughout the ride, I stayed silent, thinking about a way out of this. There must be something that I can do, he can't just come out of nowhere and take the custody.
