BELLA GREENE PART 2

"I'm going to have Sheine Oldman investigate it. He's the investigator I've commissioned in your assault case."

"Who is that girl?"

"She's the Greene family, one of the major daughters of the family, one of their central clans in New York, one of the major forces of the vampire clan in the American. They had a considerable business, though not the size of the Ostrander clan. Our clan is the largest power holder in the economy than any other clan, and our clan also has the largest member." Alexander explained.

"Alex, are you just related to the main daughter of the family?"

Alex is quiet. I know he doesn't want to answer. But I need to know as his fiancée. I also need to prepare myself.

"These questions are not to intimidate your personal life, but I need to know for your political interests and my safety. Would you please not question my question? Yes, I am jealous. But it wasn't out of jealousy. I'm just trying to make sense of the situation I'm in."

I folded my arms and sat back on the chair, waiting for an explanation.

"All right, you're right. I only have a partner from the main family, daughter. Our world is hard, and it can be said there is probably the crown prince of the whole clan. If I were related to an ordinary woman, that woman wouldn't survive because of the bullying of other women, but if she were the daughter of a strong primary family, no one would dare bother her. In our world, as long as you haven't been bound to blood promises, you're free to relate to anyone, except for women who are already bound or couples who are already bound. If it violates then, the betrayed can invoke the right of murder on the promise already made. My relationship with those women is almost like a political relationship. Although sometimes there are some women too obsessed with me and hope that one moment I will tie blood pledges with them. But I never made any promises with any of them."

"How much, Alex?" The hardest part I've had to accept.

"Are you sure you want to hear this? And are you sure you don't bring this up as a personal issue if you know it?" Alexander leaned his body at me.

"I feel I need the list to stand guard with my bodyguards later. It's a risk I have to deal with because I'm mortal. They'll try to attack me like last night. If I can't open the vortex or I can't see protective magic, I'll be in grave danger." I'm talking reality shaded in my mind.

"You're right. I put you in grave danger. Do you think you want to back off?"

"No, it's my job to accept the risk. I accept my duty. But I also want to minimize the threats I receive and include knowing anyone who might be a threat to me."

Alexander fell silent with my answer. Maybe to him, I sound too political.

"Well, if you want to know, there are 187 vampire clans. I've been in contact with 30 main daughters among them. Including Bella Greene and Julia Delacroix, you've met. You'll receive the list. Your bodyguards Odette and Odelia, are people I trust. They were also my bodyguards and the main army of Ostrander fighters. You can trust them as I entrust you with them."

"With the announcement of this engagement, was there a decrease in political influence on the position of the Ostrander?" I continued my question.

"If you mean an influence on our powers, then I would say no. The power of the Ostrander clan is far above all the other clans, and my engagement announcement does not mean the decline of our political control. My relationship with one of the clan's main daughters was a kind of claim that the clan was acknowledged by Ostrander, not the other way around, and I kept all those relationships intact without any ties or treaties. But the attempted attack on the main family members of the Ostrander could mean the death penalty for those involved, or Lord Valerie could order exclusion and a scramble of family assets if all involved were the main families."

So I might say a queen of influence. Wouldn't the game be a little fun if you had some control?

"Wow," My eyes rounded to hear Alexander's explanation.

"Goes being your partner give those women a special advantage?" I'm curious.

"Advantage? Maybe the material and ease of business with the Ostrander clan because I'm the head of the family business. Or they might feel like they have their prestige could be my lover. Hahaha"

I wouldn't say I like the laugh. It's worth him knowing the price of all the gemstones. He rightly often sent gifts to the ladies of his harem.

I was silent. Thirty people! Shit! That much is it. I came face to face with the clan prince and his nearly three dozen female harems. And those women are not indiscriminate, the main princesses of the clan. And they want a confession like me, and I'm the source of their jealousy.

"Let's just watch it, or do you want to walk around and shop something at Champ Elysèes?" He mentions the location of the high-end fashion street in Paris. I remember there was an Alexander penthouse that Julia Delacroix once mentioned. No, of course, I have no desire to see Penthouse until any time.

"We just watch."

"Your feelings are not good today. Do you want to go home? If a break can help you. Have you taken your meds?" He paid the bills while paying attention to my expressions. My wound did throb a little, and I forgot to bring the medicine I had to take.

"I forgot to bring it."

"I'm going to have Odelia go home and take it. Where did you put it?" He typed a message on his cell phone.

"I guess it was put down by the waitress next to the dresser in my room."

Alex proceeded to type the message. He's now attention to me.

"All right, later Odelia will catch up with us."

He took my hand out of the restaurant to the parking lot. And get in our car. Alexander quickly rigged my belted seat because my arm hurt to reach back. He suddenly stopped in front of me, and his face came closer, and his lips searched for my lips. Locked me in.

"Alexa, we rarely get these two. Can we enjoy today without bringing anyone else between us?" He spoke in whispers. You're the one who always brings someone else, Alex, not me. I said nothing. There's no point in talking about it. I have to hold out until the war is over to take the next step.

"All right, let's just go." I smiled awkwardly. I pushed his body back into his chair. He's caving, not pushing this time. Maybe this time, he still feels guilty about last night.
