Chapter 4 Her boldness

Xavier stared at his men, from one person to another tapping his foot gently on the floor, ready to explode and flare up.

They all bowed their heads in guilt, it was just an important job to their boss yet, a small female overtook them.

As much as they tried, they couldn't get a grasp of her. They are shaken up by the Don's quietness, what if he decides to kill them for failing such a simple task?

All of a sudden, there was a loud bang on the wall followed by a deep growl. Xavier stepped closer to them, his knuckles red from punching the wall too hard.

They have always won, they have always succeeded in every of their missions, how can a mere woman take it from him after he had expected them to return with the briefcase?

"We are really sorry Don, the lady was pretty fast. She disappeared before we could find her, she is smart and very skilled. We..."

"Shut up the fúck up, smart?" He paused and gave them a short laugh

"Even if she is smart, she can't be smarter than the men I personally trained. We only wanted the briefcase and she went ahead and killed him, that man could have been useful to us" he cuts in taking a step from one person to another and staring furiously into their eyes.

"I do not care about whatever is going on in your mind, keep an eye on her. You must find the lady no matter how much time it takes or else, you all will he placed on detention for a month, do you understand?" He asked icily.

They all bowed at him without being able to say anything. It was all their fault, if they hadn't arrive a few minutes late, this could have been avoided.

They don't want to he detained, being detained by the Don isn't like that of the cell where they get to sleep, eat and do all the fun stuff they can while being held in detention.

Their Don's detention means no sleep, food and they will be locked up in a smelly room that could make their intestines turn. That is scary, it's more scarier than being actually punished.

"I asked you a question, do you understand?" He asked again.

"Yes Don" they all replied in unison as quickly as they can in order not to get Xavier more enraged.

Xavier matched back into the living room, his mother was still seated at the table he left her earlier to have a talk with his boys.

"Do not be hard on yourself son, I know you will get a deal more better than that. You are good and perfect, don't bother too much about what you've already lost" she advised.

Xavier could only nod his head in response, he was trying to control his anger especially in front of his Mum.

If he had known this was going to happen, he could have gone with them. How can they all be stupid?

The lady was just a mere woman, he wouldn't forgive her if he gets hold of her. He will make sure she kowtow to him and beg for his Mercy.

He will torture her with the worst punishments in the entire world, he will make sure she go through hell before dying.

Xavier abruptly stood up from the chair facing his mother.

"I will get going Mum, it's getting late" he said sweetly and kissed her cheek fondly despite the anger burning up in him.

He can take it out on anyone if they get on his nerves with the intention of annoying him more than he already is.

He couldn't kill those dimwits because they are his men but he won't hesitate to slice anyone's throat if he sees them as a threat to him.

Even if he can't do it himself, he will get people to do it for him.

"Yes son, that's right. I will come by tomorrow after overseeing some works here, I might travel to California for a little vacation but that will wait until your sister returns" she said while slightly nodding her head which Xavier did same.

His Mum has been his number one supporter, she do need a vacation for as long as she needs.

"Okay Mum, I will prepare for your accommodation if you choose not to stay at our penthouse over there and also the inform the pilots to get the jet ready" he said to her.

"Good, you should get going. The weather this night is a bit unfriendly"

"Yes Mum, see you tomorrow. Good night" he said and gave her a genuine smile before stepping out of the building with his mind clouded.

He couldn't stop thinking about the lady who took the briefcase away, she must really be good to pull that off.

After giving it some thought, getting rid of her after she's brought to him will be useless. Xavier is sure that she will be useful to him.

Instead of killing her, he will make her serve him for the rest of her life. He let out an evil laughter at his plan.

Xavier gets what her wants, this lady won't be an exception. She will be under his possession, that's a promise.

Soon, he got home. Parking his car in the garage, he gracefully stepped down from it and closed the door with a thud.

He opened the door and entered into the living room. Just like it has always been, it was very quiet which made him wonder if the maid is already asleep.

Just as the thought of her sleeping flashed on his mind, he heard quick footsteps approaching him from the stairs.

Xavier look up to see Micah coming down from the stairs in her pajamas. She has a warm smile on her face exactly like some hours ago.

He glanced at his wrist watch, it was past eleven, why is she still awake? He clearly told her not to wait for him.

"Welcome back Sir" she greeted politely, the smile not leaving her face. Xavier crease his forehead together, is she always happy?

What's so exciting in this world that keep her happy?

"What are you doing here? Why are you awake?" He asked ignoring her greetings.

"I thought I should wait for you in case you might need anything when you are back" Micah lied smoothly. She is glad her job was successful, it was more easier than she thought it would be.

She came back a few minutes ago, she was lucky enough to get here before her boss does.

She can't afford getting caught but isn't he a bit rude?

"Get lost, you should go and sleep instead of doing unimportant things, I do not want anything" Xavier replied coldly walking away.

Micah snorted, no one has ever been this rude to her. She imagine giving Xavier a punch, pouncing on him and twisting his arm. It will be fun watching him scream but to bad, she can't do any of that else, she will be busted if she tries that.

So she calmed her nerves. Because of his attitude, Micah wants to get her work here done in less than the three months she was given.

"I am sorry to say this but you are too arrogant Sir, I was only waiting for you because I thought we can at least get along since we are under the same roof" she snorted angrily.

His steps faltered, Xavier had to turn to look at the girl. Her sudden boldness surprised him.

"You want us to be friends? Is that what you are getting at? Have you forgotten who you are?" He asked glaring into her skull while clenching his jaw.

Micah folded her arms, she leaned on the stair frame and shrugged her shoulders.

"It doesn't necessarily mean we should become friends Sir, at least try not to be mean. It doesn't suit your personality" she fired, Xavier stared at her with a raised eyebrow.

Even those that isn't aware of his position as the Mafia King can't talk to him in this manner. What is she?

Xavier turned around, he took a few steps closer to her stopping an inch away from being intently close but close enough to get her heart racing suddenly.

He bent down to her level before placing his mouth on her ear, aerifying her with his steady breaths.

"Instead of trying to get along with me, I will rather have you warm my bed, what do you think?" He whispered nonchalantly.
