STAY WITH ME (BOOK II) COMPLETE

Chapter 18

GREYSON

I paced the foyer back and forth. "Grey, anymore pacing you're gonna put a hole in the floor." Julian, my cousin pat my back. I stopped walking, and looked at all of my men. "We have a rat in this house, and when I find out who this rat is, you're gonna wish you never crossed me!" Kim, Alaina, my sisters and Julian's sister Laila came walking down the stairs. I stared at my wife longingly. She laughed and it lifted the dark aura in the room. "We will do everything in our power to protect our Queen." Xavier, Julian's second in command stood and held his fist over his chest. Nima walked down the stairs quietly and went into the kitchen where the girls were.

"È il topo?" Everyone looked over at Nima. "I don't know," I looked back at Julian. "You know what to do." He nodded once and walked over to Nima. I paced back and forth again. "Greyson," I felt a small hand on my shoulder," I turned and saw my mom behind me. "Non mi fido di quella donna che ci circonda."  I looked down at her. "I'm handling it, we are handling it." I kissed the top of her head. Adam walked in the foyer, and nodded at me. "Located his 3rd in command and 2 loyal members." I nodded, and backed away towards Alaina. "I will be gone for a few hours, I want you to stay with the girls until I return." She furrowed her eyebrows. "What's a few hours?" She looked up at me. I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose.

"Please don't ask that, it could take a few hours, maybe a day or 2 I don't know." She stood from the table, and walked away up the stairs. Laila raised her eyebrow at me. "Stronzo. Can't you see she just wants you here with her? Put yourself in her shoes, she's almost 6 months pregnant Grey this is where she really needs you."

"She's married to a Mafia leader, THE Mafia leader at that." I walked away and up the stairs after Alaina. I tried opening the door but it was locked. "Alaina, open the door."

"Go away Greyson." I sighed, and heard her sniffle. "Cara mia, please open the door." I saw her shadow under the door. "Just go Greyson, go be the ruthless leader." I pulled out my silencer and shot the lock off the door. I kicked open the door, and looked at Alaina who had an angry look on her face. I stormed over to her and pulled her head back, making her look up at me fully.

"Ruthless huh? You haven't seen ruthless yet Alaina Vincenzo-Kennmore." She snatched away from me, and glared at me. "Just go Greyson! You know, if I didn't know any better, i'd say with these long trips of yours, you turned back into the old Greyson." She walked away from me, leaving me stunned. I followed after her. "We have never had this conversation before and we are not about to start now Alaina!" She has never said anything like this before. She stopped and turned around with tears in her eyes. "Look at me, I'm fat, I'm emotional, you don't like me this way! You're barely here!" She was full on crying now. I bit back a laugh. "Alaina, is this what this is about? Cara mia, you're carrying this Mafia's princesses. You are the light in our dark world, don't think I would EVER fuck that up for one night of pleasure." I full on laughed now. "Yes you will..." She touched my cheek and walked away. I ran my hand down my face and decided to leave it alone.

I walked back down the stairs and towards my men. "Let's get this over with." They all held a fist to their chest and filed out of the house. I walked out after them. I could feel my heart speed up. I looked back at our bedroom window and saw Alaina staring down at me. She moved away from the window, closing the curtain.

My heart clenched as I got in the car. The words that weren't spoken, but were there.

Return to me, I love you. And return to you I will my Queen.
