Mafia darling

CHAPTER EIGHT

i was standing amidst of the most elite people in russia and someof the ladies were just looking at me like i was like an outsider , indeed i was but there stares were too intimidating 

i just shaked the uneasiness away and tried to smile and talk with people who were approaching me and asking who i am 

a middle aged man with a beautiful woman in his arms travelled to me and alexander with a genuine smile on their face 

" so you are the gorgeous isabel and daughter of the italian mafia " i just smiled at my introduction given by them " by the way my name is Ronald and this is my wife Lisa" i shaked hands with them and said hello

" i heared you and alexander were getting engaged " sensing my uneasiness alexander stepped in the conversation and said " we are really looking forward to that day but i guess it is not anytime sooner due to some prior arrangements " 

" we would really love to attend your engagement and your marriage , you two look great together " me and alex smiled at them and they just took off 

i turned to alex and asked " why didn't you tell them that we weren't getting engaged " " it's beacause he is one of the board members of the company me and my dad own and he was the one to suggest me to marry me off to you "   

"this thing is really messed up" and just like that night ended very quickly and the second i knew i was in my bed thinking about all of the things that has ever happened with me lately

 just as i was about to sleep i heared a knock on the door and i heared alex's voice " may i come in " i got off the bed and said" yes " he came inside " i just wanted to talk about tomorrow " 

" what is  it" i asked " we are escorting you to your home tomorrow " just as i hear him say those words i squealed and jumped happily

 but as i was jumping my foot slipped on the persian rug and i was about to fall i closed my eyes to feel the impact of the fall but nothing came up

 instead i felt two strong arms wrapped around me as i opened my eyes his face was just inches away from me

 and he was staring at me with like i was his prey and he was the hunter i could hear his heart beating rapidly and mine was beating very very rapidly too the air between us was so thick that it could get cut with a knife

 i stared at his lips and at that moment everything seem to fade away and he crashed his lips on mine with so much force and i kissed him back with equal force

 at once he was kissing my lips and the other time he was kissing my neck and other parts of the body later i couldn't even guess for the time we were kissing 

and i don't recall how we came on my bed later that night we slept in each other's arms 

the other day i woke up with a great hangover and realized what happened last night 

i just smiled i do not regret it a bit i loved it but i am also happy because i am going home today 

i showered and changed into a white top with a brown skirt topped with a brown leather jacket i guess who ever set this closet has a real good sense of fashion

 i went downstairs and a maid came up to me and said " mr. Volkov is waiting for you in the dining room " is said okay to her and went off to the dining room

 yesterday alex gave the brief tour of the house so i know where dining hall is just a few minutes  

 later i was sitting it front of alex we both had breakfast quietly in a comfortable silence and after finishing off the breakfast maid took the plate from the table ,

 breaking the silence alex said " so, you are going home " i smiled " yes and i am very happy about that , no offense i really enjoyed the time with you "

 " well i guess i am gonna miss you i was starting to think that we started bonding like friends ? " he said the last sentence with a question mark not wanting to push

 " yeah i can think of you  as a friend " he lit up and smiled enormously " so great you will have to call me everyday" " ok and none of us will cut the connection " deal" "deal"

just as we were getting outside the house gunshots were fired and alex pulled me into him and pushed me to the back of the car

 just as he was with me i saw blood coming out of alex's arm and found out he has been shot " oh my god alex you have been shot"
