Mistress

Sheila parked her bike by the roadside and killed the engine. She sighed loudly, she couldn't take the look of desperation Daxiane had, she wanted to blurt out the truth, she wanted to remove her mask but couldn't. Daxiane would be broken, she didn't want him to see her as a dangerous person but as his little miss Red, his innocent and pure Robin. She picked her code phone and dialed a number, they picked immediately.

"Sheila" they said over the phone

"Miguel...." Sheila said.

"Where are you? Are you fine?"

"No Miguel" she burst out crying

"Shh shh shh... it's okay? Is it Daxiane? Did he hurt you?"

"No... no.. not physically but... I'm dying of guilt" she sniffled "I just got back from a mission... Daxiane's mission, I saved him and this time, I spoke to him"

"What!!! You did what?" Miguel snapped

"I spoke with him" she repeated

"Do you want to jeopardize our mission? Are you crazy?" He was annoyed

"Miguel, I changed accent... he'll never find out I swear"

"Your love and obsession with this man will ruin you if you don't take this slowly Sheila."

"I promise you that my feelings will never get in the way of our mission"

"That's better. Now stop sulking and get drunk"

"I cannot get drunk but I can stop sulking" she giggled

"Has Daxiane touched you yet?" He asked

"Miguel that's personal don't you think so?" He arched a brow

"How's sex personal woman?" He sighed exasperatedly

"Bye brother" she hung before he had the chance to say anything. She started her bike and rode back to the mansion. She hid the bike in the bushes and sneaked back into the mansion. She showered and changed into Daxiane's shirt. Well he did say she should not wait for him. She decided to check on Alex, he was not asleep. He and Alexia were awake watching TV.

"Why are you guys not asleep? It's past the hour of one" she said and closed the door

"Is that dad's shirt?" Alexia gasped "where's dad?" She smiled cockily

"That was not the question dear" Sheila shook her head

"Mom come and sit with us, we're watching scared files" Alex smiled and tapped on the side of the bed for Sheila to sit

"Hmmm really? What's that?" She asked and went to sit

"Well a bunch of scary stuff" Alexia shrugged

"Head to bed you guys, your father will let he'll freeze if he sees that you children are still up?"

"Okay Mom" the children chorused

"That's good" she kissed them on their cheeks. She tucked them to bed and put off the TV. She then left their room and headed for hers. She locked the door and made for the bed when she heard a deep voice behind her, she flinched.

"Where were you?" ---She turned around and saw it was Daxiane, he sat on the couch. she rolled her eyes and let out frustrated sighs

"Why are you sneaking up on me like that?"

"This is my house and that's not an answer to my question"

"Well, I uhmmm went to check on the kids" she nodded. He got up from the couch and strode to where she was.

"Why are you wearing my shirt?" He arched a brow

"Uhmmm I like it" she replied which annoyed him. The guts of this woman! He thought

"You have your closet and I have mine... I guess you have nighties so why wear my shirt?"

"I have PJ's Daxiane, and it's kinda hot don't you think?" ---he looked at her face down to her long and smooth neck, his gaze were transfixed on her braless boobs and her perky nipples. He swallowed hard and looked away.

"You'll go shopping tomorrow with the kids.... after that we'll talk about the boarding school Alex will go to" he said and walked past her

"Boarding school?" She turned around "you're joking right?" She tried to keep calm

"Alex is my son Sheila, I get to decide the kind of school he'll attend. And my decision is that he'll attend a military boarding school, Alexia did so why can't he?" He said in knitted brows. Sheila couldn't believe the nerve of this man!

"You'll do no such thing Daxiane"

"Who would stop me?" He turned around "you? A weak minded person? You're not a strong person Sheila, and my Alex needs someone strong"

"Just because you lack parental love doesn't mean my son should. There are many ways to train a kid. You're punishing him, that's not training" she stook confident strides towards him and looked up at him

"Sheila, my decision is final. Jump in the lagoon if you want to counter my decision" he said and headed for his closet but stopped when she cussed at him

"Bastard! Heartless and ruthless bastard! That's why you're bitter, bitter and rotten to the core. You lack emotions and sympathy. I wonder how Lenóra coped with a beast like you. You'll rot in the deepest part of hell" she said in gritted teeth. He squinted his eyes and walked up to her, his dark eyes looked into her angry eyes.

"You're forbidden to talk about Lenóra! And about me going to hell.... oh my little Miss Red, I run hell" he smirked wickedly

"Please..." She broke down in tears "Please don't take Alex away from me... I can't live without him... I'm begging you. I'm sorry for being stubborn and disrespectful... Don't take it all out on my son I beg you" she put her two hands together and bent her head down, she sobbed bitterly. Her tears strangely, touch him.

"You really love Alex huh?" He asked

"Yes... with my life. I can die for him" she raised her head up, her face was already red and swollen, her eyes were already blotched from crying. She could not imagine being away from Alex

"Go to bed then" he said and turned around to leave when he felt small arms around his waist.

"Please Daxiane" she rested her forehead on his back.

"Sheila...." He tried to get her hands off him

"Please Xiane do this once for me" her tears soaked his shirt. He rolled his eyes and turned around to face her.

"I hate tears... wipe them" he arched a brow, she quickly wiped her tears with the back of her hands. He looked into her eyes down to her wet lips, he had the urge to kiss her like crazy. He leaned in to kiss her but he stopped midway, he scoffed and withdrew from her. Sheila really thought he was going to kiss her and finally take her but she was wrong. Daxiane was a proud man, he would never be the one to give in.

"I won't send him to a boarding school on one condition"

"Anything I swear I'll do it" she sniffled

"When he turns seven, I'll train him to be a mafia"

"Daxiane...." She gave him a look of desperation

"That's my condition Red! Take or leave girl"

"What if he doesn't want to be a mafia?" She went close to him.

"I didn't choose this life Sheila, but I couldn't change reality, destiny. A father's job is to protect his son they say. But what if the father died suddenly, how would the son learn to protect himself. I am a father Sheila, my job is to train my children to be strong because this world is cruel" he sighed loudly "I am not a cold person for no reason Red! Life turned me into the monster you think I am"

"Daxiane..." She whispered softly and slowly placed her hand on his face.

"Let me open your heart... let me in, I don't like it when you are rigid" she stroked his face. He removed her hand from his face and stepped away from her.

"I'm going to take a shower..." He said and headed to the bathroom. He got rid of his clothes and got under the hot shower. His mind went back to Zara, who is she? He thought. As he thought about the strange girl, his mind wandered off to Sheila. Why are their eyes alike? He thought... why do you seem so innocent Sheila? But something isn't right about you...

"God! How long will I hold it?" He scoff-laughed and stretched out his hands, he placed them on the cold tiles. "The way you look at me, you bite your lips and seduce me even without you knowing... God knows I want to do things with you.. to your body... fuck!" He grunted

"You'll be the one to beg Sheila!" He smiled mischievously.

***The next morning, the sun peeped through the drapes and shined its rays on Sheila's body. She grumbled and turned her face away. She fluttered her eyes open, she didn't see Daxiane next to her neither did she hear the sound of water running so she concluded that he had left for work. She got out of bed and went into the bathroom to do her morning rituals. She was washing her mouth when she heard a loud gun shot. Her eyes went wide. She fled to the terrace to see what was going on, she gasped in horror when she saw who held the gun

"ALEXIA! ALEXIA!" she screamed loudly but Alexia didn't hear because she had a pair of headphones over her head. Sheila quickly left the bedroom and headed for the training ground, she didn't even reply Luda and Sonia when they greeted her. She rushed to the training ground and went to pull the pistol gun from her.

"Mom!" Alex removed her headphone.

"Alexia, you'll get hurt! Get away from here" Sheila said and kept the gun. Alexia laughed loudly, she was almost out of breath.

"Mom! Chill out. It's fine! I have been training since I was nine. It's cool"

"And Daxiane..." She let out heaved breaths "Does your father know that you shoot?"

"Yes" Alexia said as a matter of fact.

"Goddamnit! Alexia where's your father?"

"In his study, why?"

"Nothing dear. What about Alex?"

"He's still asleep upstairs"

"Alright" she smiled briefly and marched to Daxiane's study. She let out heavy sighs and knocked once.

"Yes?" Daxiane's voice rang from inside

"It's Sheila" she said aloud

"I'm busy, come back later!" He said. Sheila hissed and opened the door widely, she came in and shut the door. Her breath got hitched to her throat when she saw him. He looked handsome in his ox blood Armani suit. He left his curls, he didn't braid it back as usual. He was seated behind his large mohogany. He was reading a book and going through papers.

"We need to talk" she said softly and swallowed hard. He closed the book and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"You're invading my privacy" he looked up at her. She still had his shirt on, her hair looked a mess and her chest heaved like she was running.

"Why is Alexia in the shooting arena? With a pistol?" She said and went towards the desk

"She's sixteen" he said in a durrh tone

"She held the gun like a skilled killer" she snapped "Alexia is supposed to be in her prime Daxiane Turéz"

"This is her prime" he sighed and pushed his chair back, he got up and went around his desk to where she stood.

"We talked about this Sheila... I'm not in the mood to argue with you" he said

"Why are you so stubborn Daxiane... you don't even care about what I'm trying to point out to you" she slammed her hand against her forehead.

"I can't do this with you Sheila..." He huffed and made to go back to his desk when a knock made him come to a halt.

"Who?" He said aloud

"It's Sonia sir, Miss Shanel is here. Should I usher her in?" --Sheila's blood boiled when he heard who came visiting.

"Take her to the living room, I'll join her soon" Daxiane said, Sonia left and went to usher Shanel into the living room.

"Your fucking mistress?" Sheila's nose flared, Daxiane grabbed her by the waist and pulled her close to his body. Her heart started beating loud and fast, she looked into his dilated orbs and down to his lips, her lips were parted slightly. He leaned in as if to kiss her but instead, his lips went to the nape of her long and smooth neck. She felt weak to the knees when she felt his hot lips on her weak spot. She let out stifled moans and groans.

"Oh goodness... I want to fuck you Sheila" he uttered hoarsely against her skin, he kissed her chin before crushing his lips on hers. He made her straddle him, he then took her to his desk....
