Kitten

Chapter 48: Warnings

Liam

"Where the fuck is Sadie going?".

"Perhaps boss hadn't been getting any pussy and finished that quick".

All the men around the table laughed like maniacs, but I knew that wasn't the case. I knew exactly why he didn't kill Lily and her family. The bastard was too easy to read. All this time he convinced me that he was using her, but anyone with eyes could see that he'd fallen hopelessly in love with her.

He'd never admit it, but that was the reason. He was weak and he knew that's what love does to you. A man in the mafia does not do love, but Alexander had given way to weakness and let Lily destroy everything he'd been working for. She had to go.

He had them all on their knees. All he had to do was lift the gun and pull the trigger, but he didn't.

"He hasn't slept with her" I muttered out coldly whilst gulping down the golden liquid of my 5th drink.

"How do you know?".

"Because he's still hung up on that bitch".

All the men looked round at one another with confused expressions.

"We all wanted to see them dead, right? So why didn't he kill them?".

All the men fell silent and now their eyes were dead set on mine.

"Because he's madly in love with Lily. He wanted revenge, but didn't want to hurt her or her family. He's let them walk free without getting justice for what James did. But don't you worry gentlemen, I've taken some actions of my own without Alexander's permission and knowledge".

"What have you done this time Liam?".

I held up my empty glass towards a young looking girl and nodded towards the bar eagerly wanting another drink.

"For some time now I've been making, deals. I have a man in Russia who is willing to pay a lot of money for Lily Richardson".

"How much we talking?".

"£3,000,000".

All the men around me sputtered on their drinks as I revealed the astounding figure that had been offered to me around 1 hour ago.

"Who an earth would pay that much for a pathetic girl?" Ryan butted in staring at me in disbelief.

"His words were that she was a very beautiful girl that would be very popular with his clients. She'd make him a ton of money".

Ryan shrugged in understanding and raised his glass up with a smirk on his face.

"Why haven't you done it yet? I'd ship that slut off to Russia this instant".

The men let out obnoxious laughs as the strippers came over with more expensive bottles of alcohol.

"Because I have a line-up of potential men interested. I'm waiting to see how high I can go. But for now I want eyes and ears on her. I want to know every detail, where she goes, who she sees and what's new with her life. I have no doubt in my mind that Alexander will try to reach out to her. I want you to report any detail, big or small it doesn't matter. Fingers crossed she'll be shipped off before Alexander has a chance to run back to his kitten".

Alexander

A bright light tore through the darkness and my eyes fluttered open meeting the strange pattern that had always been on the ceiling at my flat in France.

"W-What?"

"What?" I yelled out as I jumped up out of bed and stared around at the familiar room.
