BELLA.
"What the…?"
I was too stunned and thought my brother was just joking but he looked dead into my eyes and repeated, "Not lying. It's true!"
He then proceeded to unbutton his shirt and I immediately turned my face away, "Why are you unbuttoning your shirt? Do you even have any shame!"
"Shut up," he scolded me and grabbed my face, turning my face towards him forcefully he directed, "Look here and know I'm not lying."
My eyes widened in shock when I saw the angel tattoo on Oliver's chest, the majestic wings of the angel spread through his chest while in between the name 'ANASTASIA' was written in black ink.
I leaned in close to get a clear glimpse of it and fuck, I felt my bones chill. I did not just see the legendary tattoo of Anastasia Hawkins.
Nobody is deserted from that name, everyone in the underworld knows who the fuck Anastasia of Hawkins is. She had heard about Anastasia from her father, an emerging mobster in the underworld. Who rose through the frame and became famous among other mafia groups within a few years of its establishment. People found out later that Anastasia was not any Mafia group's name but the codename of the Boss.
It was a single man group which later expanded and their group was called Hawkins. Very dangerous and haunting. No one in their right mind tried to mess with them as they don't believe in fair fight, the snipers and assassins of Hawkins were sneaky bastards who are obsessed with victories. They can go down the path of cheating and schemes to get that fucking victories.
Even strong groups like DarZ dared not to mess with them. And the power of Hawkins spread all over the Black City, that the judicial system of the city had to invite their Boss, Anastasia as their new judge. The funny thing was that Anastasia always wore black pants and a loose robe which showed his chest.
And a black mask on his face, nobody saw his face and he appeared very rarely in the council meeting of Black City's mafias. People only know him through the attractive yet terrifying tattoo on his chest. Images of it were published in newspapers, and many young women drooled over his tattoo.
"So you're telling me that you are the Boss of Hawkins? The legendary Anastasia, judge of the Black City?"
"Yes, right," Olivier said proudly, which left me speechless. I kept processing through my thoughts, if I was dreaming or hearing things. Because ain't no way I'm believing in this shit.
However I believed it when I arrived at the headquarters of Hawkins. Everyone, including the soldiers of Hawkins greeted their boss, my brother in respect and cast me a very curious glance.
"Boss, did you bring Miss Bella ?" Upon entering the headquarters, butler Vincent asked.
My eyebrows flung up," Vincent? You too knew about my brother's identity?" I quickly asked. "You should have told me beforehand. Now I feel like I don't know my brother enough!"
"Is there anything else you are hiding from me?" I asked, looking at Olivier. "I don't want you to become like Dad, who kept many things secret from me. I don't want to stay in darkness."
"Bella, my lovely sister," Olivier said as he cupped my face. "This was the last secret I kept hidden from you. Now there's nothing to know about me."
I still kept staring at me with serious eyes and murmured, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Uhmm," he hesitated and scratched his hair in a funny way. "There's still one thing you don't know but it's not important!"
I pushed him back and shouted, "What?"
"It's just Boss who abducted Nancy Mandarin and locked her in the basement jail," Vincent replied. He couldn't see me fighting with Olivier.
Guess what, my anger faded away when I heard my brother had abducted that bitch. A sly grin played on my lips as I hugged my brother, "You did a good job. Please don't let her die peacefully! She tried to destroy my face and raised her hands on me."
"Worry not," he said as he patted my head, "she's not dying yet. In fact I have decided to make her every second of life miserable. She will beg for death but I'll not give her."
My smile widened, I looked into my brother's eyes and giggled, "Your sound so sinister. We do inherit the genes of our parents, however dad's genes are very prominently visible!"
"Damn, you are hitting it right," he laughed and I thought the mood had lightened up.
So I dropped the bomb. I wished I had waited a little longer and not rushed it. He dragged me upstairs without even listening to my words and shoved me inside the large bedroom, he coldly thundered,"I will not allow your marriage with that bastard! His parents will never accept you, not after knowing that I'm still alive."
"And?" I folded my arms and glanced at Olivier with my body leaning against the wall. "Can you stop Caspar? Brother, he will come for me even if you hide me in the depths of the ocean!"
Olivier smirked at my words and getting close he whispered, "And don't you want him to fight with me to get you? Don't you want to see who's stronger?"
Oh my god! My brother saw through my thoughts. Still insisting, I confronted, "Wrong! Why would I want that!"
"Because it's thrilling. You have always done that, correct me if I'm wrong. Measuring the strength of the man you will spend the rest of your life with is a normal thing," my brother was chill with my thoughts. "I, too, want to see how good of a man Caspar Mcadam is, that you are crazy about him. If I lose to him, I'll approve of your relationship with him and give my blessings."
"So you were never against my relationship with Caspar?" I asked.
"Of course not. He's the only man who's worthy of an opponent of mine. And you both love each other so how can I possibly force you to leave him?"
What the? I think I'm talking to an angel, I joined my hands and knelt down. Chanting prayers to God that I thought never knew. I was worrying about nothing.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Shh, I'm thanking God. Do not disturb me."
I finished my few seconds of prayer and then smiled at confused Olivier, "So why have you brought me here? Do you know I can't marry him because he has a one-year marriage contract with Nancy!"
"Oh don't worry about that. I have sorted it out, Nancy will be declared dead tomorrow and the contract will end on its own."
"Well," I sighed, listening to my brother. "Don't you think you're going too far with it? I know we both are unhinged but it's getting out of our hands."
Olivier slapped his forehead and sarcastically commented, "So you want to wait for the whole year? What if your loyal Caspar takes pity on another helpless girl and gets into a contract marriage?"
"He's not like that!"
"Damn, I can't even lie peacefully to you without getting caught," he shakes his head. "Alright fine, I'll try to convince that woman to sign the divorce papers."
"Very good. Now leave, and take care of my daughter. I'm tired and want to sleep."
"Lazy woman doesn't even want to meet her daughter," Olivier mocked me as he walked out of the door. Before leaving he turned back and grinned, "Do you want to date some men? There are many good-looking guys in Hawkins headquarters!"
"Get out of my sight," I shouted, showing him my middle fingers.
"Woah, I was just suggesting LoL. You don't have to show your fucking loyalty for Caspar."
"Fuck you," I cursed and slammed the door close.
Walking towards the bed, I collapsed and groaned in boredom. Throwing my legs in the air, I rolled to my sides and sighed continuously.
And I didn't remember when I fell asleep. When I opened my eyes I was greeted by the darkness and I wondered how long I have been sleeping like this. Before I could get up, I felt like someone was hugging me from behind.
My body froze, I forgot to breathe for a second until I heard Caspar's unmistakable deep voice feathering on my ears and my back.
"I missed you. I love you, Bella."
I wanted to reply to his words but I decided to remain quiet and see what else he says or does. However right now, in my mind I was thinking about how the hell he found my location. Was it through my phone's GPS? Might be.
And as I indulge myself in deep overthinking, he slides his hand up into my top and unhooks my bra. He whispers near my right ear, "What are you thinking about so deep?"
"What the…?" I gasped in shock, never thinking he was aware of me being awake. I felt so seen and embarrassed, that I proceeded to get up when he pulled me back and pinned me on the bed.
Getting on top of me,he murmurs, "Are you thinking about how I know your location?"
"Well it's easy," he began, "your phone has a GPS tracker installed by me during your stay in my headquarters. However I don't know why you are in Hawkins headquarters nor do I care where your brother is right now."
"Then what do you care about?" I asked, raising my left eyebrow in doubt.
"I care about you," he started kissing my neck and shoulders. "I'm so starved for you. I'll bother about your brother tomorrow, tonight I want to fuck you to embrace our new beginning."
