Infatuation Of Darkness - Chapter 277

Holding the menus she knocked on the door and heard a come in. She sighed, quickly took in a breath and then what inside confidently.

She saw the people inside. The don his wife, his brother and the second in command.

“Good evening everyone, welcome to Lexus. My name is Jessica and I will be a server for tonight would you like to get started with drinks?”

The wife, brother and the underboss stayed choir and she knew that the authority was in the hands of the boss. If she was someone else that might have had stared into his eyes but Jessica was a coward soul so she looked at the owner, his wife, instead.

“For drinks,” The Don’s smooth voice with an accent rolled off, “I want a whiskey straight, my wife would be having wine, one from her collection.” He then smirked for a second before saying, “What’s your poison?”

Her eyes widened at that. “S-sorry?” Did he just ask her?

“What is the drink you like?”

“A..a..shot.” She answered but then blurted out right after, “I also do martini.”

“A martini too then.”

“Whisky for me,” the brother answered.

The man, underboss, stared at her before answering, “Wine for me too. Leave the menu’s.” She did and ran out.

Why were they here and more importantly why had they called her specifically? Only the ones that were related to the family somehow were called to serve the men when they were discussing business so she could not understand what possible reason it was for her to be called in.

She punched in their orders and made their drinks then carried them inside only this time the guard standing outside knocked on the door for home.

She served them and then kept the Martini in the middle of the table not knowing what to do with it.

“Sit down darling,” The Donna spoke. Her voice equally smooth and had the authority in it just as the Don did. For Jessica, both of them were a power couple that should never mess with.

She did as told and took a seat in front of them. The nervousness was creeping in. Where are they going to kill her? She had heard about them and she had taken nothing from them.

“You’ve been going out with my man.” He looked into his eyes as he leaned to the table to get his drink, “Haven’t you?”

She nodded immediately almost frantically not given the man a chance to take any offence from her.

“Hmm,” he gulped his drink, his Adam’s apple bobbing with it. “I heard around that you’ve never been in a relationship before.”

Heard was just a term that he had replaced for ‘I had you researched’.

She nodded again. She hadn’t. The money she earned was barely enough for her.

“You must be aware of the fact that you cannot cross a made man, love. How is that I shall believe you that you would not cheat the man you going out with?” His is hardened and Jessica felled herself losing the grip that she had. She could barely think now.

“I w-won’t.” She stupidly said instead. “I really won’t.”

“That’s not reassuring enough.” The underboss shook his head. He shifted and reached for the papers next to him and handed them to her. “This will be. Open it up.”

She did. She took it and took out the papers inside of it only to gasp at the contents of it.

It was the pictures of her knees with her sister in different places. Which meant that they had been keeping an eye on them.

“I..don’t..don’t get it..” she looked at them with tearful eyes. Fear had gripped her hard. “Why ..”

The don kept his glass down which was empty. “I am not telling you not to go out with that man I am just warning you of the consequences of double-crossing us.” He pointed his finger at her, “Remember them.”

Her eyes glanced at the pictures and she nodded. A tear slipped down but she didn’t raise her hand to wipe it. “I do.”

“Good,” he nodded, “I ain’t telling you to break up with them that’s your decision I am just telling you not doublecross or cheat on him.”

“Why don’t you go back? Simone will take over for you.” Donna said this. Her voice was calming as compared to the dawn. She nodded and stood up on shaking legs doing just as they had told her to.

When she went back another bartender with Scott was standing there waiting for her which made her realise that the Don had a full proof plan of cornering her today.

She looked back and glanced at Adrian who wasn’t there. Maybe he wasn’t aware.

********

They are aware. Julia wondered what did the men think of themselves. How could you think that they could be the most invincible creatures in the world?

She had grown weaker and no will to live. She had woven her trap and now they just had to fall in it.

What was life when people would talk about her in their deaths?

She held the papers in her hand and walked to the bench where the man sat. She had noticed his routine and observes it daily. To be honest, he was a quite simple man who was divorced yet had no affair.

“Is this seat taken?” She pointed to the empty side of the bench and he shook his head.

“No ma’am, please have a seat.” She smiled back and sat down while minding her back. The joints had started to pain now but she had the will.

She sighed and glanced at her watch. It was just a minute left. She stood and walked away.

She moved past the block and turned around to peep by the wall to the man who was looking around in search of her as he had the papers in his hand.

In the end, after a futile search opened them and flipped the pages. She turned around and left.. The job was done.
