chapter 15 Cullen's POV

Cullen's POV

3 hours ago....

I wanted to rip off his head

How dare he? After everything I've done for his mafia!

And he can't even grant me this one tiny little favor!

I stormed back into my room and started beating the shit out of the furniture. The walls already held humongous holes from my last encounters with the Don. I really thought we were getting somewhere and for that asshole to just laugh in my face.

I banged the chair and started plumbing into it with all the leftover rage.

" Honey! You're scaring me! Taryn yelled at me from the bathroom and rushed to my side. She grabbed me by the chest trying to soothe me but I striked her to the floor.

I had to contain myself from hammering into her as well. It wouldn't look good to the press if she came out with bruises. Not after the last time.

I kicked her out of my way and she fearfully ran back into the bathroom. After hearing the soft click I knew she locked herself in there.

My fist went through the computer screen as I slowly tried to accommodate my rage.

I looked around the room, it looked nothing like what it did before I came along. I really needed to get private maid soon.

My office looked as if a robber went batshit crazy on all the meaningless Possessions that were held inside. The computer looked unrecognized and the remains of the desk scattered around like they had suffered a major fall. I flipped over the chair that didn't give in so easily to my fists and tried to calm down.

I took three doses of my medicine and thankfully that did the trick. I closed my eyes and massaged my forehead as I thought about my next move.

" Daddy! " Naeva ran into my office, completely ignoring the state of it.

" Did it work? Am I getting married? " She squealed excitedly, not even sparing a glance at the disaster I call an office. It wasn't her fault. She was used to it.

" I'm working on it sweetie ".i said hoping not to upset her. It didn't work. Her smile morphed into one of annoyance and anger.

" What do you mean ' working on it'? "She shouted, " YOU SAID THAT HE WAS ABOUT TO ACCEPT! "

" I know I did, princess, but that fucker was treating it as a joke! He practically laughed at me when I suggested ".

" A JOKE? Dad! What did you say to him!

He loves me! We're in love! You just had to ruin everything! All you had to do was tell Alister.

I was interested in marrying him! WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HIM THAT MADE HIM CHANGE HIS MIND! " she slammed her fist onto the already damaged desk.

Naeva always had anger issues. She unmistakably got them from me, which I was very proud of. She was the only thing in the world that I loved, but god help me if she says one more word. One day, I won't be able to help myself.

"Look sweetie, I'm sure he loves you, I am, but maybe he's just scared of how much he want to be with you". I try to explain, but I know the words coming out of my mouth are bullshit.

There was absolutely no way Alister had even a smidge of feelings towards Naeva, much to her naiveness. When I suggested marriage to him, I thought he would either accept for the sake of our alliance or get really angry. I however, did not expect him to look at me like I was the scum of the earth and start practically nothing to him. Maybe I wasn't as powerful as him but I still did my proposal. That bastard!

Obviously our alliance meant absolutely nothing to him. Maybe I wasn't as powerful as him but I still did my share for his stupid mafia and country!

When I had Naeva, I thought I could easily marry her off to him based on her looks but he only used her for sex and then left her. As a father, that should have crossed me but I still needed them to get married, I would have my flesh and blood in Alister's inner circle.

The people he trust.

Who knows what I could do with that sort of information?

His stupid inner circle doesn't use their power. They could easily sell out the information of the most feared Mafia Don in the world. I guarantee that I would earn them some big money.

Idiots, all of them.

Thankfully, I'm not that dumb. Alister is just a few minutes away from kicking me out, I know it. So I had to find my own way to support myself.

The Siberian mafia.

The second most powerful mafia.

As soon as I heard from my spies that they were planning an attack, I knew I had to jump straight on that train.

" You're right, daddy. He just needs time to realize he can't stay away from me. I don't know why I was overreacting. Thanks daddy. " She smiled widely at me before leaving the office.

I pushed my head towards the ruined desk when I felt a vibration next to my hand.

I picked up the burner phone only to see an unknown number.

Right on time.

I grinned as I picked up,

" Adyan, I was wondering when you'd call. I ju"

"Let's cut the bullshit. We gave 8 hours. Times up".

" Wait Adyan you have to understand that was not enough time "

"Are you saying you can't help us? The man on the other call chuckled, " Well I guess that meant we will cbe seeing you very soon, then".

"No wait! I just need more time!"

" Goodbye then ".

" No! No wait! I can tell you something! The Don! He -He has a secret lover" I split out of my ass.

The other man stayed quiet while my heart was thonging unstopably at what I had just said.

It was heat of the moment, and now all I could do was hope he believes me.

" Why the fuck would we care about who the Don is fucking? "

" It's not that! H- he loves her! You wanted to know his weakness, right? You found one".

There was a slight pause on the other end and I heard two men talking in a language that was foreign to my ears.

" Very well, then".the man finally replied and with that a smug tone said his final words, " Perhaps you may be useful after all".

I was scared they would ask me more about this unknown mistress, but the call cut there.

I was so fucked.

If there was one thing I knew about the Don, is that he could never love anyone.

I lit the burner phone on fire and yanked it out of the window. The last thing I need is for the Don to find out about this.

I just want to be rich and powerful, is that too much to ask? Why did this have to be so complicated.

Well at least now I have time.

There must be a solution.

The phone rang again I almost fell off my seat in worry that the man was calling for more details.

I let out a sign of relief as it was only the housekeeper.

" What? "I spit out angrily.

" You filled a request for a private maid, sir? "

I let out a sign of annoyance before answering, "Yes I did. Have you found her? "
