Chapter 18: Jealous
He bellowed a deep chuckle, as if I said something funny. I didn't know who he was but what I did know was this guy was trouble. Well trouble or troubled. Either way I didn't need anymore problems in my life. I turned around as he placed his arm around my waist, spinning me around as I met his chest.
" I can see what Colton see in you." He entailed almost if he was revealing a secret. " I mean you look much like her but you're different. Still, he doesn't mind I'm willing to share." He cockily grinned as I shoved him off.
" Like, hell. I'm not his or yours. I don't belong to anyone." I hissed as he slid his hands in his pockets attempting to seem all calm, collected. Fucking bastard. And I thought I couldn't find anyone more to hate more than Colton. I guess the world, life can prove you wrong. This motherfucker. This one right here, I despised. And I just met him.
" Oh, but you're wrong now that you're apart of the Dragon Clan, your belong to Colton. Colton owns you like a little puppet." He taunted in a cold voice as he was talking about an object, and not a living being. Well for all I knew he was probably dead on the inside.
I shook my head, I didn't want to waste my time on this piece of human anyone. " Colton and I will discuss what we have to discuss. That is none of your business." I offhandedly commented.
" So Kaira, how long have you known Colton to earn his favor?" He curiously asked.
Earn his favor. Bitch, I almost fucking died. That's how and I saved his life after that. I deserve a damn triumph, medal of honor, not favor. " Ask Colton." I remarked, I didn't own this get an answers. If he wanted them go to the big boss himself.
" You're like Cassie, but she was much sweeter." He mentioned her again. Cassandra? So this guy knew Cassandra. He must be close to Colton then. Everyone in the dragon clan seemed to know expect for myself. Maybe, just maybe if I sticked around entertaining this fool I could finally get some answers. Some answers on who was Cassandra? And what had happened to her? Where was she? How did she fall in love with Colton? And why did she leave her son? Unless she was forced to.
" Cassie?" I asked dumbly.
He tilted his chin up like he was so happy he knew something I didn't, " Yes, Cassie. Cassandra, Colton's wife." He affirmed as I final had one suspicion confirmed. But I needed to know more? Like a thirsty person in the middle of the dessert, parched for water. I was in need of this information.
" Where is she?" The words slipped out my mouth.
He clicked his tongue over and over like a parent retorting a child, " Answer my question first. Then my dear, we can start talking?" He negotiated as he held me in a corner. When put in a situation where your hands are tied, as a mafioso you have one thing left to do.
Act dumb.
Acting dumb was the only way to stay alive and get information was by doing exactly that. So putting on my innocent dumb face as I softened my facial muscles, " I met Colton not to long ago." I answered meekly.
His rough demeanor unwavering, " Good. I'll guess I'll keep my word. Cassie.... Cassandra... Where is she? Where is she, huh? She is everywhere and nowhere." He pondered off playing a riddle. I rolled my eyes as his nonsense of a response.
" That's not an actually answer." I whined purposely, slightly pouting.
" If you want more information, I'm glad to give it to you." He offered as I knew there was a but coming. " But everything has a price. What are you willing to give?"
Of course. Everyone always wanted something. Nothing was giving for free or out of their kindness of their hearts. I always had to work my ass off for everything. I didn't have to do this, but my curiosity seemed to get the best of me. I should really work on that or I might end up dead. " What would you want?" I inquired sedulously.
" What are you willing to give?" He repeated coming closer barely maintain space between our face. Trying to make me flutter or blush, but I felt nothing inside. Opening my mouth to say anything immediately I was met with someone's chest. A familiar chest.The warm ocean breeze scent that lingered in my mind. I blinked, what?
" Stay the hell, away from her Alexandro." Colton warned, his voice as dangerous as death. So this guy name is was Alexandro, good too know. And why was Colton so mad, if they were close?
" Good to see you brother." Alexandro greeted as my eyes widened. Excuse me, there were brothers. I whipped my head to scan them both. Oh my god! I noticed it before, but how didn't I make the connection. But brothers! Damn, I could see it now.
Two brothers in love with the same girl. However the girl chooses Colton and Alexandro is out for blood.Revenge and Heart broken, engraved in him. Wanting to steal whomever is close to Colton.
Colton digged his hands into my waist, pulling me closer, " I wish I could say the same. Now what were you doing with her?" He said with regret. And ouch, you're hurting me, Colton!
" Oh brother, you always so serious now at days. Is that why you have her? To release some stress." He joked disrespected as Colton clenched his jaw. And seriously do I look like a sex worker. Why does everyone think I'm doing it with Colton?!
" Watch your match, Alexandro!" He hissed, I could feel him tremble from rage, " She is my mistress. You will treat her with the respect she deserves."
He was defending me? I mean wow. Thank you for deserving my honor, Colton. Wait a minute did he just say I was his mistress?! No! Not like that! Don't say that! I went to open my mouth as the brother spoke.
" I am. Now will you mine sharing her. I'm mean I can't promise giving her back but-" Before he could finish the sentence Colton fist met his face, as I gasped. I mean seeing Colton worked up was a bit attractive, all that testosterone and manly representation just hit the spot sometimes.
I shook my head, I shouldn't be thinking of those things now. As I turned my attention back to the situation.
" Get the hell out!" He spat as he turned around and grabbed my wrist. " And you come with me."
He run off with me, leaving his brother in the dust as I attempted to keep up with his long strides. My short legs were never good for running,but I tried. I began huffing and puffing attempting to run with him. As my dress began pulling up as I tried to shim it down but he wouldn't give me the time of day. " Colton, slow down. I can't keep up." I complained my heels digging into my lower shins. " Stop." I commanded as he pushed me against the wall, pinning my arms to the side of my face. Leaning in as our lips were inches apart. But this time unlike Alexandro I felt something in my stomach fluttering. I gulped as my eyes refocused on his gaze. Staring me down like a prey. I didn't want him to see me as weak, but I couldn't bring myself to unleash at full power. "
" What the hell were you doing with him?" He whispered dangerously low into my ear. I furrowed my brow. What was the problem? I mean it was him that approached me not the other way around! Besides, I couldn't stand if I was irresistible. No but seriously how was this my fault?
I shrugged my shoulder, " Nothing much." I nonchalantly replied as he held my hand tighter.
" Don't give me that bullshit, Kaira. What were you doing with him?"
" Like I said nothing. What makes you think I did something? Why couldn't he be the one doing something to me?" I retorted as he closed his mouth for a moment seeming having nothing to say.But his eyes didn't turn away, yes do that. Blaming the woman for everything when men also carry the damn responsibility.
" You mean to tell me that you did absolutely nothing?" He doubted my innocence as I scoffed.
"What kind of woman do you think I am?" I snapped no matter what people could taunt me for being a killer, a bitch, ruthless, everything else but a loose woman. But even then why would it matter. "Besides, why would you care? It's not like your my husband or boyfriend. Or what are you jealous?" I perked the question as he lowered his gaze, backing away.
Why was he backing away? It was just a teasing question.
" Just don't go near him again." He gave his last warning as he met my gaze once more and left.
