Chapter 419: +Chapter 419+

Lake meant his words because right after lunch, they were dropping Rosie off at Mafia King Asher’s place.

The secretary shot them both a betrayed look as they dropped her off in front of the gates, Lake giving her a sheepish smile. "We’ll come pick you up in time for ice cream."

"Or not," Davian mumbled under his breath.

A smaller gate to the side was opened for Rosie to come in, her boss and Mafia King driving off and leaving her behind.

Rosie just sighed and went into the mansion, she had only been here once before but she still remembered how to get to the kitchen. The door opened just as she got to it, revealing the last person she expected to bump into.

"Jael?"

The Beta gave her a once-over and stepped back, "Good thing you’re here..."

"W-What?" Rosie stumbled over her words.

"Caspian sent all of the kitchen staff on a lunch break so he could sneakily cook and Patty accidentally deleted the reports I asked for." Jael said as he pulled her into the kitchen before she could make her escape.

He didn’t mention that he was the reason why she had messed up the mansion’s reports. "I’d love to handle things here but the boss is on a bit of a short leash today so I’ve got to head out."

Rosie couldn’t believe her ears, she was sent here to relax but was instead saddled with work. "I’m not doing all that for free," She said dryly, crossing her arms.

"We’ll negotiate payment later," Jael said, immediately leaving after making sure that Rosie wouldn’t be leaving.

Rosie had a faint smile on her face as she watched him leave, she didn’t realize how good she had it with her Mafia King and his mate. Jael seemed like he was babysitting a house full of toddlers, poor him.

She let her arms drop to her side and looked around, the huge kitchen was completely empty but she could hear tinkering coming from the store. She decided that she would deal with Caspian later, Patty was the easier of the two to deal with.

So she walked over to the study and opened the door slowly, her eyes searching for the mansion’s accountant. "Hey Pat-"

Patty let out an ear-splitting scream, the laptop in her hands falling to the ground with a loud crash.

It was so unexpected that Rosie was frozen, staring at Patty with wide blinking eyes.

"I’m sorry, I thought you were Jael." Patty apologized, dropping down to inspect the ruined laptop with a sad expression on her face.

Rosie narrowed her eyes, did Jael know this would happen? Good thing they hadn’t negotiated payment yet. "He left, and he asked me to help you figure out the reports..." She gestured vaguely at the laptop that couldn’t be salvaged.

Caspian showed up then with an armful of cabbages, "What was that? Patty are you alr- oh! Hi Rosie!"

Rosie wasn’t sure she wanted to find out what Caspian planned to do with the cabbages. She took a deep breath, next time she would sit quietly and not cause any trouble so that she didn’t have to be sent here again.

Rosie somehow managed to get everything straightened out. The cooking staff returned soon and Katya was able to quickly dissuade Caspian from cooking so the three of them left the mansion together.

More than getting Patty a new laptop, the contents from the old one also needed to be extracted. It was done in no time, and by the time they got back to the mansion, it was already sundown.

Lake and Davian came to pick her up shortly after that, and Rosie had never been more elated to see them. She got comfortable in the car outside the gates with Davian in the driver’s seat while Lake went off to chat with his friend.

"How was your hangout?" Davian asked good-naturedly, he was in a good mood now that he was able to spend the entire afternoon with his mate.

Rosie had a pitiful expression on, "Please don’t make me come here again, Jael made me cover for him."

Davian stifled laughter, "It sounds like you had fun."

Rosie was about to dispute that but Lake showed up at that point with a bright smile. "Let’s go get ice cream!"

Rosie sat back, she was the only one in the back seat this time and she didn’t mind, a soft smile on her face.

Angelo sat stiffly on the bed, his mood black. There was nothing to keep him company except bondage items, there wasn’t even a window or clock to help him keep track of the time.

He had left his phone in the truck before taking the delivery up to Mafia King Nikolai, maybe he could ask for it. Because he was slowly being driven insane in this padded prison.

The door opened without warning, making him flinch. He saw the white smoke before the scent got to him, Mafia King Nikolai lurking in the doorway.

"Come with me."

Angelo would have rebelled in any other situation but he really wanted to get out of this room, so he hopped to his feet and walked right over.

The men patrolling the hallway of the first room he had been kept in were all gone.

"Get dressed, we’re leaving in fifteen." Nikolai said to him before turning to leave.

Angelo didn’t think that Mafia King Nikolai would actually take him to a function. Why would he go through the trouble? That would only give Angelo more chances to escape... Or maybe the Alpha already knew that he wouldn’t dare to leave.

Angelo stepped into the room, it was already dark out, more time had passed in the ’safe room’ than he thought. There was an outfit laid out on the bed, and although it was the last thing he wanted to do, he put the outfit on.

He was too afraid that the Mafia King would put him back in the safe room if he refused to play along. The outfit was harmless much to his relief, it was just a simple dress shirt and slacks.

He tied up his hair in a simple knot behind his head to keep it out of the way, the mirror in the room calling to him. Angelo walked over and covered it up with a towel while he waited for Mafia King Nikolai to return.

The Mafia King was right on time, Angelo slowly trudging out of the room when his hulking silhouette showed up in the doorway.

Nikolai didn’t move when he approached him, the Alpha studying him with an unlit cigar between his fingers. "Take your hair down."

Angelo glared up at him but he reached behind his neck to do as he was told, pale green eyes blazing.

Nikolai was pleased, "I didn’t expect the safe room to be so effective."

Angelo gritted his teeth, it was taking a lot out of him not to lunge at the aggravating Mafia King in front of him.

Satisfied now, Mafia King Nikolai walked off, leading the way. Angelo insistently pushed his hair out of his eyes, beyond upset. For the first time, he was genuinely tempted to hack it all off just to spite Nikolai.

When they got to the stairs, Angelo paused, catching Nikolai’s attention. "I’m taking the elevator." He announced stubbornly, already turning around.

He barely took a step before he felt fingers in his hair, "Either walk with me or get dragged down, your choice."

Angelo was hit with the weird urge to bite down on Mafia King Nikolai’s arm and not let go until there was blood on his teeth. "I’ll walk," He said stiffly, the hold on his hair was firm but it didn’t hurt but he knew that the Mafia King would keep to his words.

When they got to the lobby, Angelo’s legs were throbbing something fierce. He was fit but twelve flights of stairs would do that to anyone, he couldn’t believe that Mafia King Nikolai went up and down those stairs every single day.

If he didn’t use elevators then why did he choose to have his house at the top of a skyscraper?

Angelo’s mood had worsened by the time they got to the lobby which was saying a lot considering that he was already in a shit mood.

They drew attention as soon as they stepped into the lobby, and Angelo couldn’t tell if it was because of his hair or the Mafia King’s presence, maybe both.

He got into the backseat of the car they had walked to when Nikolai gestured for him to, and he wondered for just how long the Mafia King planned to keep this up.

Angelo had no choice but to play along, if he was lucky, when the Mafia King got bored, he would fulfill his wish and kill him.

Nikolai got in the backseat with the assassin, in a very good mood. The angrier Angelo got, the more amused he was. The Beta usually had a flat expression and emotionless eyes but anger brought life into his eyes and color to his pale face.
