MEETING

Elena's POV:

I stepped down from the car, glancing about at the mafias that had also arrived here. I felt a little bit uncomfortable because I knew the space was very vacant but the party still went on. I noticed other mafias walking into the building with their women, dressed professionally, like me and Derek as well. We both walked into the building and I noticed the performance taking place on the stage. I had no idea why he had called for this meeting. My eyes were on the stripper on stage who of course, had no problem with revealing everything under that tiny fabric of hers.

I followed Derek's lead, walking towards a space where all the mafias were together. I looked around and got a familiar glimpse of a lady. I didn't have enough time to confirm if she was the one because she was gone when I blinked. We both had our seats and watched live porn unfold before us. I looked around to see that clearly, Antonio wasn't there. I was curious about what this meeting could be about though. A man sat beside us, someone I knew absolutely nothing about. I adjusted my mask so I'd look unrecognisable because he seemed to be overly curious about my look. He glanced over and Derek, who I knew, had a displeased look on his face because this man was making me so damn uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, she does look so goddamn familiar." He stated. I'd seen this man's face before but never lived. He was probably part of the top mafias on the list. If it was figured that I was still alive, then I'd be dead within the twinkle of an eye.

"And who, might you be?" I questioned. Then I heard the audience clap, causing me to look up at the stage. There Antonio walked up. He seemed to have changed so much after the last time we met. Yes, he was handsome, devilishly handsome, I must add. He looked about the stage, with his mask on his face while holding a glass of champagne. He looked neat. That's the way I could put it. Everyone was fantastic, but he was different. His outfit was quite stunning, bringing out the masculinity of his body. His golden jet-black hair was gelled to perfection, and his beard was neatly shaven and shaped. He had a beautiful straight nose with perfectly shaped pink lips.

"Jonathan Gravestone, a known technician and founder of L-Tech." The man beside me introduced himself. I felt Derek's grip on me tighten because he hated me speaking with other men. If I wasn't careful, he could shoot this man right here. I squeezed his hand trying to calm him down.

"I think I've heard a lot about you and your inventions." He smiled as he nodded. Then he looked towards the stage. I knew he was about to mention Antonio.

He lowered his voice into a whisper as he leaned closer to me.

"He used to be my partner in crime, don't be deceived by his appearance." I chuckled. Antonio? Partner in crime? If I had never met the man in person I would have assumed he was telling the truth. But I knew how much of a sociopath Antonio was. He hated working with people. But I understood though, that everyone wanted something to brag about, about Antonio. So they'd lie even if they had to.

"And you are, darling?" I nearly cringed.

"I swear to god Jonathan, if you get another inch closer to my woman. You'll have your eyeballs rolling on the floor." Derek threatened. I looked at Jonathan...yeah he wouldn't want to test this man. Jonathan visibly gulped and sat back.

"I'm just trying to get to know her." He defended.

"Well, you can start by shutting the fuck up and minding your business." Derek retorted. My gaze went back to Antonio who had clearly been saying something while I wasn't even listening. I noticed the way his gaze kept shifting like he was searching for someone. Then it landed on mine. I froze where I was because his eyes lingered a little too long. He didn't stop his speech though. He was referring to every mafia and damn I must admit the nerve of this man. He wasn't even afraid to cuss on stage. It was both funny and bold because yeah, it made the guests laugh a little. His eyes were still on mine though but then I gasped when I felt fingers stroking my thigh.

"You both are so entrenched in each other's gaze. Or is it him who can't take his eyes off you? Well, I'm not about to let you go. Not today, not ever. How about I give him a show just to show him you're mine?" I had no complaints about that. He stuck a finger into me and fucked me underneath my dress. He didn't even care if anyone was watching us right now. But nobody seemed to be aware, not even Jonathan. My jaw dropped a little while my eyes dilated. And of course, Antonio knew my pleasured face. I couldn't see his angry face but I could tell that he was due to his white knuckles. I looked down because I was blushing out of embarrassment, I almost couldn't control myself. He stuck another finger inside me. I pressed my lips together as I looked up again. I was so close to climaxing. Then Derek leaned in and whispered.

"You know you could just let it out mia cara. Let me know how much I can make you feel good." He said.

"Derek," I whispered, staring at him with pleasure and when I looked up Antonio was no longer on the stage. I came on Derek's fingers. My sighs, getting more frequent. But he looked so innocent like he hadn't just done anything to me. Jonathan looked at me.

"Are you alright?" He asked and I was trying to get my senses back before I spoke.

"Yeah yeah sure, it's just...hot," I said and glared at Derek who gave me a nonchalant look. Now I had to go clean myself up. "I'll be right back."

"Be careful and don't forget." He placed something on my hand. "Tap the button when you need help." He stated, giving me a look not to forget. I walked into the corridor and went to the restroom before cleaning myself up. I walked out of the bathroom right after before stepping back into the corridor. I felt strong arms grasp mine and screamed as he turned me towards him. My eyes widened as I saw Antonio.

"For how long are you going to fucking pretend?" He shook me. "Are you sure the child inside of you is fucking his? Or this is just another one of your fucking tricks?"

"Let me go, Antonio!" I yelled and he froze. The silence that followed was deafening. He tilted his head slightly with perplexity.

"What did you just call me?"

My eyes widened as I realized I just gave myself away.
