Chapter 7- Dealing with Daddy?!

He nodded as he turned back his hand rubbing his little chubby cheeks." Well good night." I excused myself walking towards the door imagining a beautiful hot shower when his voice stopped my stride.

" Wait for me outside. I need to speak with you.." He commanded as I didn't even dare look back at him as I simply walked out. Ugh, I stood by the door my legs shaking. What could he want from me? I rubbed my eyes wanting to claw them out so I didn't have to see his face.

I just wanted to sleep.

But what did he want to say to me?

I waited for what seemed forever. Just waited for Colton to take his precious sweet time. The only reason I wasn't viably pissed because he was doing it for Milo. However another part of me was pissed because I had barely slept in the last twenty four hours of being held hostage although I was here at will but I didn't really have a choice. On the other side I heard shuffling as he opened the door looking down at me.

" Follow me." He ordered closing the door walking away as I wanted to straggle him but reluctantly followed.

What the hell could he want? Was he going to compliment me or berate me? Probably the latter.

I followed closely behind as we enter his office. Previously mentioned and visited by Thomas who was no where insight. I stepped looked at the ample room. It was complete bare,except for the desk, and decoration and computer on it. The style was minimalist yet gave an air of sophistication. The lights were off, however the moonlight that pierced through helped differentiate the moving shadow. I stood away from him waiting until he began talking.

" Come closer, I'm not going to bite you." Colton looked at me as if it were obvious. Oh really no I thought you could just put a freak bullet in my head was nothing. I marched forward meeting him as he signaled for me to seat down, which I did.

Walking behind the desk, and opening a drawer. He flipped noncaringly a bundle of paper in front of me, I perked my brow. What dis? " I've made corrections to the contract just like you ask."

I blinked the corrections? Ohhh, right I did asked him for a few corrections. Ha, totally forgot! " Ok. Thank you, I'll just read it now." I answered as I leaned forward to touch the contract as he slammed his hand down on it. What? Didn't he want me to sign the contract? What's the big idea now? Another round of Russian roulette?

I gazed up looking at his firm baby blues that the moon just loved. His face almost emotionless as the furrowed brows gave something away. He shook his head, " No need, just sign it, and go to sleep." He suggested as actually cared for me.

" Wait, I have to read it first." I mentioned just like any normal person would. Ha, like if I were stupid enough to sign without reading the clauses.

" Why, just sign it, everything is there." He denied me my right of reviewing the contract. He sighed shifted weight of his leg onto the desk. Damn he was still sexy when he did that. But no matter what godly sexiness I was not giving him to temptation.

I crossed my arms glaring up at him, " Look, Colton I not going to sign something I can't read." I said honesty.

He exasperatedly sighed pinching the bridge of his nose. Oh I'm sorry am I bothering you? I thought as he spoke, " Look I don't have time for your bullshit. Just hurry up and sign it."

I scoffed, doesn't have time for my bullshit, yet who was the one who asked who for help. " Nor do I have time for yours." I insisted as he flickered his eyes opened with the intent of death, most likely as he wanted to straggle me.

" Do you not trust me?" He said with softness yet arrogance.

Excuse me? Trust. Trust you? Trust the man who just a few hours ago tried to kill me. And then turned me into his baby momma. Trust. Oh no mama. No lord, not today. OOO, he was getting on my nerves. Trust, him. A mafia leader. Ha. I am laughing. That is the number one rule in mafia land don't ever trust. I snorted involuntarily as he squinted, " Colton, did you just seriously ask me if I trusted you? You fucking kidnapped me, and asked me if I trust you.Are you crazy?" I inquired as his eyes widened,I don't think anyone has ever called his ass crazy. Oh well.

He opened his mouth and closed it again. As if for a moment for the first time in his life he was shocked. He stood up pacing back and forward muttered words like a mad man. You know it's just one of those things that I do to people.

Silence lingered the air as I yawned tapping my mouth to faintly cover it, my eyes wondered to the big windows uncovered through which the moonlight peeked in. Except you didn't just see the silvery thing in the sky but everything. The entire court yard, the small decks of the bedrooms, and the roof. No wonder he had choose this room to be his office he could see if their was an intruder. But that meant the intruder could see him, too. Suddenly a shadow moved. I blinked narrow my sight on it. There was definitely someone.

"Kaira." He called my name but I didn't respond. What the hell was that man doing on the roof? Was he suppose to be here? Wouldn't Colton had told someone about this? " Kaira." He repeated as I lifted my finger watching the man lie down on the roof pulling out something. I squinted trying to push my human capabilities of sight when a red line appeared through the air. " Kaira. Look at me." Colton yelled as my eyes set on him when the red dot appeared on his white shirt.

Shit, he had exposed himself. That fucking sniper.

" Duck." I replied as he gave me a scowl.

" This isn't the time to play fucking games! Just sign the contract, Kaira!" He said agitated as I looked at the sniper pulled the trigger as my instincts kicked my blood and body accustomed to what was coming next.

" Duck!" I repeated as I flashed over my hands extending meeting his body as I pushed Colton against the wall as the glass came crashing in. He automatically brought his hand to the back of my head pushing my head into his body as the next series of bullets came in. The sounds of crack of a whip pierced the air as the familiar noise accelerated the adrenaline in my blood.

Since my head was so close to his chest I could feel the warmness of his body. Just like early when his lips were on mine. Expecting something frozen, it was pleasantly nice. As well I could heard the beat of his heart, it quickened my every single passing second. Wow, he actually had one. It was still working.

For some reason because of that my breathing increased as the following moments nothing seemed to happen. I perked my head up peeking at Colton who still held onto me tightly as he had his lips pressed together. Up close, he didn't seem ugly nor a scary beast rather he was quiet beautiful. A strange word to use to describe him or any mafioso. But there was something so truly attractive. The lines that creased along his forehead, his dangling raven outplace hair, accompanied by his even plucked eyebrows, his straight nose with that perfect chiseled clenched jaw. Finally he tilting his chin down, " Are you okay?" He asked a voice fulled with concerned. I nodded. And finally those ocean eyes met mine. So enchanting. So mystifying yet so cold could be so warm. Luckily Milo had taken after him in that department.

Milo

Milo

Milo.

Wait a minute? My mind swirled.

My eyes widened as I pushed off him breaking free of his arms. He raised his brows looking at me said why? " Milo, I have to get Milo." I explained as his eyes widened wider showing even the white part of his eyes as I left him. Chasing down the hall as I twisted opened the knob seeing Milo laying safely asleep as the motherly urge went over to put him in my arms as he groaned.

Opening only one eye, " Mommy?" He mumbled as he rubbed his eye.

" Yeah, baby. It's okay. Just keep sleeping, okay." I said calmly not wanting to alert him to the situation as he nodded off back to sleep. My heart relaxed at least he was okay.

I turned around walking back into the hall as Colton stood anxiously waiting to see if his baby boy was harmed. " He's okay. They didn't do a thing to him." I responded as he breathed a sigh of relief as he closed his eyes reopening an icy blood bathing ready stare. His fist clenched so hard he began to bleed, and the cord in his neck protruded. This wasn't the same Colton from before. No. No. The air felt dense. Almost unbreathable. Damn. The dragon inside him had just awoken.

Damn it, part of me was enthralled.

Were the hell was he when I was a mafia? Back then this man and I, we would have destroy the city. Finally an equal. Dreams die hard huh?

His voice snapped me out of my proverbial thoughts, " Kaira, go downstairs with Milo." He commanded but not expecting me to obey yet out of worry.

" What about you?" I protested.

" Don't worry, I'll follow behind." He added as I something in my gut told me he would as I simply walked downstairs.

By the time I arrived all the men had arrived some wide awake while others still half- asleep. All murmuring wondering what had just happened. Their eyes widened when I entered as I carried their precious little Master.

However only one familiar face approached me, " Kaira what happened? Are the boss and little boss alright?" Robertson voiced everyone's thoughts.

I looked back at Milo to make sure he was asleep because I did not want him hearing this. Thankfully he was as I set my sight on Robertson, " Someone just tried to kill Colton." I replied as the room went in uproar. I place a finger over my mouth as they remember Milo was asleep as they calmed down.

However I understood their cry. How dare someone come here and attempt to do such a thing to their Boss? It might have it a first time for them, Colton lead all business outside keeping his house a safe haven for Milo. But something seemed to slipped.

Honestly, they sure have prepared better I have countless times have been assassinated in my own home. Why did they take more precautions? Especially with a baby in the home. I felt my anger rise in my veins, the readiness to kill someone was close though the only thing that soothe me was the boy I was holding in my arms.

" Look, I don't know why. I just know it happened." I added as they stood flabbergasted.

Behind me entered Colton. I turned around as everyone sighted their gaze on him.

"Boss, are you-" Robertson began as Colton put his hand up suggesting he was alright, but the gun in his hand told otherwise.

Then another man came rushing in as all heads turned to him. He was bald that was the thing I distinctively remembered as he spoke loud and clear, " Boss! We got the guy! We're holding him down!"

I could see the vein in his neck pulsate. Just the news of the guy being so stupidly caught just sent him over the edge. He ran his free hand through his hair, " Alright. All of you follow me. Robertson stay with Kaira and Milo." He directed as he turned his back.

He turned one last time to me," Kaira, please take care of Milo." Colton said once again with a voice of empathy as I nodded. He turned around placing the gun in his rear of his pants. I knew exactly what he was about to do.

But who would do this? Why, here? Why, now?

I just hope the person knows the hell there in now.

I honestly did not know what to do for this scene. Then I listened to some music and this popped into my mind. And to be honest it couldn't have been more perfect. It will nicely show the progression of the relationship between the male and female lead. Let's not forget baby Milo!!!!!!!
