Chapter 2

"You want me to do what !?"

"I want you to lure Darren Smith and get an important thing of mine from him. Think about it, you will get one million dollars and I will have my job done. After the deal is done, we won't see each other again. So what do you think?" He swiftly explained his plans leaving me in a conflict.

I thought about it and agreed, I will get my money and his work will also be done. What's the worst that could happen?

You could die.

At least I'll die doing something good.

"Okay, I will do it. But after its done we will never see each other again. Deal?" I enquired and he looked impressed.

"Great! Then pack your bags, you will come and stay with us for a few months." He stood up from the couch he was sitting on in my drawing room.

"Are you crazy?" I yelled. Why the hell am I going to stay with him? He is completely insane.

"Why? What happened? Oh , don't worry we don't bite." With that he was about to leave, when a thought rushed to me.

"Wait, what is your name?" I asked eagerly.

"Xavier knight." With that, he left slamming the door shut on the way.

XAVIER FREAKING KNIGHT. The most dangerous mafia leader.

Now, I really regret my decision.

I was on the verge of declining this offer when an incident occurred to me. A dead corpse was found in an alley last month with its throat slit open. The murderer was supposedly Xavier Knight. I do not want to die like that. With regret in my heart, I started to pack my things like clothes, toiletries, make up and shoes. I tried to pack things as less as possible and only the important ones.

Just as I finished packing the doorbell rang. I opened it and there stood the guy who came in the morning with Xavier.

"Hi, come in." I politely invited him but he didn't bother to acknowledge my politeness. I shrugged my shoulders and brought my suitcase from my room upstairs. He did not even bother to help me. Rude. I huffed as I reached the end of the stairs and closed the door behind me with my keys.

"So, what's your name?" I asked only to receive a one word answer.

"Max." He replied with no emotions in his eyes. Must be a mafia thing, I thought to myself.

"You ready to go ?"

"Yup." Just then I noticed a black Ferrari standing on the road behind him. How rich are they?

"We are going in that?" I exasperated. Who sends a Ferrari to pick up a broke girl?

Xavier Knight.

"Yeah." He walked to the other side of the car and unlocked it. I got into the car just as he put the key on ignition and the car roared to life. I guess I don't regret my decision that much but let's see where destiny takes us. Hopefully not to hell.

We reached the house. Nope, mansion. The mansion was a three story house. It was huge and had a long driveway at the front and the grass was neatly trimmed. Max took out my suitcase from the back and began to lead the way. At least he had that much decency. There were two Guards at the entry of the house. The inside was more beautiful and spacious than the outside. There was huge hall and to my right it led to where I think would be the kitchen. There were stairs that led to bedrooms I guess. Overall, it was amazing.

"Done looking at the house?" Max asked boringly and I blushed nodding my head. He led me up the stairs to a room in which I would be staying. The room had a king sized bed, a walk in closet and balcony. It had white walls and you could see a beautiful view from the balcony.

"This is your room.You will staying in here if you need anything then ask me, okay?" He clarified. Just when he was about to close the door.

"Hey, where is Xavier?" I blurted randomly without any thought. Before he could answer another voice replied.

"Missing me already?" There leaning against the door frame stood the mafia King, Xavier Knight looking devilishly handsome. He was wearing black jeans with a white tee and had a stupid smirk on his face that I so badly wanted to wipe out. He's hair was wet and neatly tousled. I wanted to run my fingers through them. He looked very edible.

Edible? What's gotten into me? Snap out of it Hazel.

I realised that I was staring at him for too long and he was smirking knowing that I was ogling at him. I cleared my throat.

"No, I was just casually asking him.By the way, I have an important question."

"Shoot." He dug his hands into his pocket. I watched as his biceps muscles flexed following his movement.

"Why did you choose me ?"This question has been bugging me for a Long time.

"You don't have to know about it just do as much as you are told to do." Snapping at me, he turned away slamming the door shut in the process leaving me stunned at the sudden change in his behavior.

This guy is bipolar.

I decided to take a shower and wore a pair of jeans with a cute pink t-shirt and went downstairs. It was 5 in the afternoon. Since, I did not eat anything before. I decided to go to the kitchen to find something to eat. A delicious smell hit my nostrils as I went near the kitchen and there stood Xavier near the stove shirtless in all his glory. His muscles were flexing as he moved and I could definitely eat him up now. He was messing with my hormones badly.

Noticing my presence he turned and smirked.

"Like what you see babe?" I blushed at his nickname and he just grinned. Suddenly, my stomach growled and i sat at stool near the counter.

"What are you cooking?" He didn't answer but took two bowls and served one for me and the other for himself. I noticed that it was spaghetti with meatballs. My mouth watered at the sight and I dug in. The corner of his lips lifted a bit as he took notice of my state.

"What? A girl needs food. I am hungry." I exclaimed and continued to eat.

"So, what do we need to do about this Darren?" I asked him stuffing my mouth with spaghetti.

"We will talk about this tomorrow. You had a Long day. Go and get some rest."I nodded and cleaned my dishes and went to my room. I changed into my pyjamay and laid on the bed. The bed was soft and comfortable unlike the one I had back home. Just as my head hit the pillow, I fell into a dreamless sleep.
