SHE IS MY WOMAN

Angela took her bath after getting into her room and decided to go for a walk around the compound.

She had her hands in the pocket of her shorts as she enjoyed the beautiful greenery around. She looked down at what she was wearing, and then she made a mental note to ask Christian to take her out for shopping to get new clothes for her.

She stopped walking after realizing the direction of her thoughts. "Wait, why did I have such thoughts? I'm supposed to be thinking of how I'll ask him to help me find a job. Angela, what are you thinking?" She asked herself as she hit her head slightly.

"Okay, new girl. Why are you hurting yourself?" Angela heard a voice behind her. She turned back to see who it was, and she saw Elizabeth, one of the mistresses of Christian.

She smiled "Nothing, a very random thought just came to my head. Don't mind me". She waited for Elizabeth to get to her, and then they both continued the walk.

They walked in silence for a while, and then Elizabeth turned to Angela "It's tough around here, right?" She asked and Angela nodded "Yeah. Well, I'm still trying my best to get accustomed to everything around. I know it's hard having someone new, but I think we'll all be able to get along."

Elizabeth shook her head "Angela, the women in the house think of you as more than a mistress to Christian, and that means more, don't try to get along with everyone in the house, it'll only be used against you. Especially Charlotte, stay away from her. And Bianca as well, maybe even Tilda" She rolled her eyes "A pregnant lady will always be the biggest threat."

Angela squinted her eyes at what Elizabeth said "What? Pregnant? Tilda is pregnant?" She asked, surprised and Elizabeth nodded "Just so you know, I was not eavesdropping or anything. I was just... Randomly passing by, you know" She looked at Angela with her side eye and caught her staring suspiciously.

"So you just randomly found yourself on the fourth floor where Christian's room was?" Angela asked her. Elizabeth became quiet for a while, and then she rolled her eyes "Okay, I was actually following Tilda, because I felt something was up with the way she kept smiling. Later on, godfather Christian went into his room and I heard the whole conversation of him telling her to kill the child and all of that. But guess what, Tilda never aborted it. She probably hates you right now, because she will have all her emotions heightened up and trust me_" Elizabeth placed her hand on Angela's shoulder "_Tilda's biggest emotion is anger. You'll just have to be a good judge of character to know who to roll with." She patted Angela on the back.

The moment Angela had with Tilda came to her mind, and she realized that was why Tilda had asked her that question.

 She turned to Elizabeth and smiled "Thank you for this" She thanked her and Elizabeth nodded smiling back "You are welcome. You just seem like a really nice person and I would not want you to get into their catfight" She said.

 Angela suddenly remembered what Elizabeth said earlier on "Why did you say I was more than a mistress to Christian?" She asked and Elizabeth scoffed.

 "Honestly, you should be happy about that. If you were a mistress, during the week you arrived, a ball would have being arranged for you to let everyone know that you are Christian's mistress. Everyone who is involved in this dirty business will be invited so that every single person will know. That means if you are caught seen with another man, both of you would die in the harshest way possible. The Dons don't share their women with anyone" she said.

 "But you, he has not held a ball, and he treats you very well. Ever since I came here, which was like two years ago, I have never seen Christian's lips go upwards, never. But after you came, it started happening frequently, but only with you though" She started to smile cheekily "And I find it so romantic" She commented.

 Angela laughed "Maybe you are seeing wrong. Are you busy now? I would love it if you could take me on a tour around this whole…. Space" shey began to walk a little farther from Elizabeth "I have been bored".

 Elizabeth muttered to herself as she followed Angela "I think I'm very sure of what I saw."

 Christian was in a meeting with a few other leaders who dealt in the same business with him. They were referred to as Dons.

 Their businesses involved in human trafficking, child labor, sex trafficking, slave trade and many more. They all made use of legal businesses to cover up their tracks. So to everyone, they were legitimate business men, but behind the scenes, they were Dons.

 Christian sat at the head of the table, while the rest sat all around the table. He had inherited this position from the previous godfather, Don Alfod.

 Don Alfod was a man who ruled over territories. He was the king of the jungle, the lord of the rings. Just the mention of his name could make anyone tremble and look back to make sure they were not being held at gunpoint. Don Alfod was really the man who could cause a person to dig his own grave with his hands just to get away from him.

 But the person they feared the most was the one who was able to kill Don Alfod.

 "I believe there is a reasonable explanation for this... Meeting" Christian said to all of them. His voice was deep, dark, cold and void of any emotion. His face was indifferent, like he was giving off the feeling that he did not want to be there.

 One of the dons whose name was Finn replied to Christian "Well, it has being a long time since we all came together to have a talk, so we decided on doing just that" He replied smiling at Christian. It was all fake.

 Christian looked at him "I do not believe we all gathered here just because we have not gathered for a long time. What is this about?" He asked again in his authoritative voice and another don, Gianni decided to spill the tea.

 "We have seen the new... Woman in your household. We all understand that she was not from any of us, so was it that you made a deal with another person outside the group?" He asked.

 The whole place was quiet, and then, Christian chuckled in a dark voice. It made chills run through the spines of the men seated. They suddenly understood why Don Alfod called him his son; there was absolutely no difference between them.

 "Were you spying on me? You all are very cute, you know" Christian's voice came out soft and deep. They all knew they had crossed the line from there.

 "So tell me, what is it that you want to know from that information you got?" He asked Gianni directly, and the man visibly gulped. "We just want to know when a ball will be arranged for her. You need to mark down your woman for everyone to know" He said in a less dominating voice.

 Christian bowed his head before bringing it back up. They all saw the Alfod in Christian because of that. "Like you said, she is my woman, and I make the decisions concerning my woman. Don't you ever dare spy on anything concerning me, especially MY woman" He said to all of them in an extremely dark voice, and then he stood up and left.

 Gianni looked to Finn "This was all your idea. Now you have us on his bad side" He complained as he got up from his seat angrily "I will not be happy with you if that crazed bastard comes after me" He threatened the other don.

 They were all withering in fear when a particular don scoffed "You all are dumb." "Jasper, I don't think it is very nice to speak to us that way" Finn said to him in an annoyed voice.

 "I have my reasons. How can you all not see that he loves the woman. Has he ever behaved like that for anyone?" He asked and everyone slowly thought about it and nodded their head, but Gianni disagreed "It cannot be. He is too dark for that"

 "That was the same thing we thought of Don Alfod, but he was a love sick moron as well" Finn reminded them and the whole place went dead silent. Even after the man was dead, he was still feared.

"Jasper, be careful of how you speak of the dead. The word 'ghost' has a reason for existing" Finn's frail voice spoke out, but Jasper scoffed.

 "We get the woman, we get Christian. Simple" Jasper said and smirked.
