The Gangster And The Hacker

Chapter 54

Jasper's PoV

"We have hid enough in this place. Now it's time to go back home and get things back in order." Everyone agreed at Riley's words.

"Let's recall all the things we know."

"We know that Theo... Jenna, they are doing all the planning and plotting together to take over the position Jasper is supposed to take." Ben starts. Mark shows the proof that Venere has collected which indicates that they are in fact the traitors.

Mark nudged me with a smirk and asked, "What will be the next, regarding Jenna and Theo I mean."

"I have been thinking but I couldn't plan anything concrete and fool-proof. If you have any ideas, be my guest."

"We have to ambush them at the penthouse. As soon as possible so that they won't have a chance to even counter attack...." Riley replies, but I started to drift away, towards the thoughts of my passionate night with Venere, even if it ended at a bitter note.

The passion we had during the sex is burned into my soul. I thought she would slap or punch me for even suggesting that but when she agreed, I felt like the biggest weight was lifted off my chest. But I was so damn much jealous knowing that Venere and Vale were with each other that I sent Mark after them. I'm still getting itchy just at the thought that Venere and Xavier spending time with each other but now is not the time to think of that.

Mark was spying on them at that lake thanks to the ring that Venere was wearing. When he arrived at their location, they were just sitting there, looking towards the lake with their back facing towards Mark. Soon they were having a conversation or fight but Mark couldn't decode.

The only thing from that entire conversation that he was able to hear was something along the lines of '-excuse me if I lost the ability to think'. Mark couldn't hear anything before that or after that. But then Mark had stepped onto a branch and they left from the place hearing that sound.

On top of that, I couldn't read that report. I heard the sound of the engine ar the front gate because of which I went out and saw them all close. It made me so mad, I just hoisted her on my shoulder and didn't look back, even when he commented something like, 'use protection', because I didn't want to murder someone Venere is close to and fuck up. I just showed him my middle finger after which he laughed like he saw something really funny.

"Do you really think they are going to just stay there just like that? Huh, you all really are thinking like a bunch of teenagers. Either way, good luck then." Hearing Venere's voice, I turned around to see her climbing down the stairs in some shorts and my shirt. Her eyes met mine and slowly came closer and closer until we were right in front of each other.

But before I could do or say anything, I felt a punch on my back. And I knew who had the fucking audacity to punch me and still get away with it, either Venere or Mark. And since she was right in front of me, the only answer that would be correct was Mark.

"Mark..." I glared at him.

"You were fucking staring at her, idiot."

Turning around I saw that she was heading towards the kitchen and she was nowhere near me.

He gave me a look which said, 'see I saved you from making a fool out of yourself'

Fuck, what is wrong with me? This woman is messing with my mind. She was nowhere near me yet I thought she was right in front of me? Hallucinations? What would be next, butterflies in my stomach?

Preferisco lasciare che Ben mi irriti. At least some of Ben's antiques make me chuckle once in a while.

"Can she just for once think everything would be in our favor? Just one fucking time?" Riley folded her palms into fists, probably to prevent herself from actually go in there and prendi a pugni le luci del giorno viventi da lei.
