Audrey pov
At age twenty one and fresh out of college I have to take over my mom and Dads company after they passed not too long ago on an airplane crash
The only ones I had left was my nanny Angela and my best friend Jennie who was nanny Angela's child and I love them both but it was devastating to know I will never be able to talk to my dad and my mom ever again .
My dad had a law firm that was stocked with paying clients , a good amount of which were in the mafia making it easier to build affluence since one of the only things crime bosses never lacked was lawsuits ,money ,drugs and whores to satisfy their sexual desires at any given time
As much as my dad was involved with crime bosses I never liked them or their spoiled and snobby children
The company was to be given to me as the only child ,but honestly I did not want to enter into such an industry .
I would much rather handle my moms company since it was related to fashion and I love fashion, either way I would not want any of their efforts to go to total waste .
So I recently decided to host a ball for moms business to find new investors.
Jennie walked in to my room stuffing her face with food as usual
"'what you doing" Jennie asked
"'working "'
' let's go for the party '
' what party'
' the one I have been talking about all week '
' I can't I have a ball to plan'
"saying you can go for a party because you are planning another party is crazy and your going because I need a wingman ".
...At the party ....
Jennie is currently dancing with a stranger in an attempt to make her new crush jealous which I highly doubt will work, tired of everyone and everything I decided to go to the toilet .
I splashed water on my face and remained in the toilet wandering to myself why I was so unlucky with everything .
I couldn't help but miss moms terrible cooking and Dads jokes about her cooking,how they would tease each other and their shameless public display of affection.
I wish I could wake up from this terrible dream but it's my reality . The more I struggle to console myself the more I felt myself get weak and sobed

I walk down to my dungeon where my prisoners are kept.
"Are you not going to Walk out or do you like it here" I said while thinking of how to inflict more pain than I already have to his battered and bruised up body.
"I ca can't walk "' he stuttered while trying to stand up from the floor only to fall back .
"Who exactly are you to her'
"we are her uncles" '
Before I could ask more questions Blake walked in with news and from the smile I guess his torment has been rescheduled.
He handed me a file and I learned that her name was Audrey, she is turning 21 this year and that she was holding a ball which I would of course be attending invitation or not.
I guess it's time to go shopping. I said while trying to hide my excitement from Blake who seemed to be amused.
,
After getting ready for the event I took a look brief at the mirror and was pleased with what I saw but before stepping out I noticed I had received a call from the woman who gave birth to me and as usual I declined
I walked into the ballroom to see a lot fashion inclined Business men and women chatting and exchanging pleasantries those who knew who I was kept quiet as evident fear began to surface through their facial expressions regardless, I made my way to my table and there she was across my table.
She had on a black dress which clung to her body and accentuated every curve on her body with a slit which ran through her legs . Her pale skin and her hair which she had let down seemed to make her look irresistably charming
"'Audrey " I called out and approached her while my eyes roamed her body with an undeniable burning desire for her .
I wondered at the back of my mind why my phobia was not acting up . I would usually get itchy but there was no signs of an itch
"'how do you know my name" she asked looking like she was trying to figure out if we had met before or something
"'well the invitation I received had your name on it sweetheart" I lied knowing that she may not want to be around me if I started with "' hi my name is Jackson Rodriguez ,I am the head of the mafia and your uncles tried to hire me to kill you few days ago"'
This was the first time I had lied about my identity because I sincerely enjoyed being feared by people .
"'so you are into fashion"' she asked while assessing me with her eyes.
"'um not really , but I am into you" I replied honestly this time .
My response seemed to have an effect on her as her cheeks turned red and she bit her lower lip nervously
"well I need investors not suitors"' she said looking at me with those mystifying pitch black eyes.
" well why can't I be both " I said making sure to maintain eye contact
" I am not looking for a suitor right now but thanks"
"if you change your mind , call me sweet heart"
I handed her my business card and ordered Blake to get the car ready as there was no need to stay
...Blake's pov....
After a long day of taking orders from Jackson .
Finally ,I arrive home from the ball and I am exhausted only to be greeted by a half naked lady on my bed, usually I would be excited but I am to stressed for this right now.
"'welcome my love"
Camila what are you still doing here I thought it was clear that it was a one night stand,have I not paid you ?
' well baby I thought you might need me again this night '
Why did I have to sleep with the same stripper who got rejected by Jackson at this moment I really questioned my sanity.
' no I do not need you now please leave and never return here' .
" listen I Know you do not love me but I need the money 'Camilla suddenly as tears stung her eyes
what was I suppose to do I thought to myself
'I will give you more money just don't return here again'
'deal'she said with glee
I wrote a checque for her and sent her off
