chapter 23

Thanks for the tip MrssmurfitThroughout their journey back home, Laura didn't utter a thing, she still felt embarrassed she can't believe she had sex in the mall and the staff saw everything, this is embarrassing.Alex looked relaxed like he didn't care about what happened in the mall like it was not something new to him. When they got home she rushed upstairs forgetting her clothes in the car."Where is Dexter Shelly?" the lady pointed at Kimberly's room, Alex hummed and left. He heard Kimberly giggling and laughing and it made him happy.He entered the room and greeted his little princess who ran out of the room when she found out that Laura was back. Both he and Dexter went to the underground dungeon to meet the others who have gathered and are waiting for him."It is good you all are here already," he started "we all know tomorrow is the day every Mafia and Syndicate members come together, this is what I want from all of you. You have to have your guards up, no one without an invitation can enter even if that person is the president, your eyes pinned on everything and everyone who enters and leaves, and above all, watch Laura. We all know what happened to one of you when she tried escaping from the park, I don't mind killing all of you. Don't make it too obvious that you are following or keeping an eye on her, let her feel free" he instructed them.Dexter just shook his head when he heard the last instruction, this is going too far and he needs to talk to Alex about it."Questions?" He asked, seeing as no one had a question, he dismissed them."Alex, can we talk?" Alex turned to him giving him all of his attention"Making me follow that girl wherever she went when she was with her stepmother was understandable, buying her from a brothel with a lot of money is still understandable but killing our men for her sake and planning to take her to the gathering tomorrow is not. This is no longer a slave and master relationship Alex, this is different and I pray it stops because we don't want you to be distracted" Dexter said without fear. He is the only one who can talk to Alex without fear because they are best friends."There's nothing wrong with me taking her there tomorrow, and I killed that scum because he wasn't efficient and diligent enough" Alex defended, he sees nothing wrong with what he is doing."Let's see, since you will be taking her there tomorrow, let's do this. Leave her on her own and if any man talks to her who will examine your emotions, you get jealous, it is something else but if you don't then she is still your slave.""What are you getting at Dexter? That girl is nothing but a sex slave to me" Alex said, he took out a stick and lit it."Can't you see it, man? You love that girl and it is not good for business" Alex laughed hard that he almost choked on his cigar."You know the word love is not part of my world, I don't love" Dexter just shook his head, tap on Alex's shoulder two times, and left.When Alex entered his room, he had a little smile on his face when he saw Laura and Kimberly sleeping in each other's arms. He started to reason things, is what is Dexter saying true? Does he have feelings for this girl who is currently sleeping on his bed?He shook his head in denial but to prove to Dexter that he has no feelings for Laura, he agreed to Dexter's plan.The next day, Alex brought a make-up artist for Laura. They did her hair, and makeup and assisted her in wearing her dress.It is a black evening dress that flushes on the ground, it has a long split that stops at her mid-thigh, a dip neck showing enough cleavage, and long sleeves. The gown sticks to her like a second skin showing off her curves and edges.Her hair was curled shortening the length, she wore red shoes and a red purse. She looked ravishing, Alex couldn't stop looking at her when he saw her coming down the stairs, he had the urge to pin her to the bed and make sweet love to her."Wow Aunty Laura you look so beautiful tonight, I am sure my dad won't be able to take his eyes off of you," Kimberly said making her chuckle though she knows their relationship will never reach that level and she couldn't be happier."Shelly take care of my daughter andKimberly be good, don't give nannyShelly a hard time" the girl nodded herhead.Alex took Laura's hand together they went outside. Dexter had already gone to the venue with the others, they had to make sure everything was going great.Alex wore a black tuxedo, his hair was combed to the back. He looked handsome and responsible. He opened the door for Laura as a gentleman would but if only they knew he wasn't gentle in many traits.He entered the car and the driver kicked start. The ride to the venue was peaceful and quiet, Alex was busy with his phone while Laura just sat quietly enjoying her dress though it was too revealing...
