The Poisoned Soul of a Don's Wife

He Kissed Me

Aeko's POV

I put the note down then open the box. A pair of navy Stilettos greeted me. I may not be a fan of heels but these looked beautiful. I put them on and my look was complete. I head out to the kitchen just to get a glass of water only to be greeted by a hug from Austin.

Me: When did you get here?

Austin: Not so long ago. Little girl you look gorgeous, you ready?

Me: Yes I'm ready

Austin: Good let's go, Alex is waiting for us down stairs

He opens the door and I walk out first. He follws then locks the door.

Me: Where did you get an extra key?

Austin: It was in the room I'm sleeping in

Me: So he's really not coming back

Austin: I'm sorry little girl but don't be sad, I'm here aren't I?

Me: Let's go, we don't want to be late

Austin: As you wish

We then exit the building and Alex was parked right in front. Austin opens the door and I get in first then him.

Me: So where are we going?

Austin: You'll see

Me: Can't you at least tell me where? I want to know so bad

Austin: You so adorable but no

Me: I'm not adorable, only babies are adorable

Austin: Well you are my baby

Me: Not that easily I ain't

Austin: Let's do one thing, I'll get whatever you want

Me: Whatever I want?

Austin: Whatever you want

Me: I'm going to hold you to it

Alex: We've arrived Sir

Austin: Thank you Alex, come little girl

He holds onto my hand then opens the door and pulls me out. I fix my dress then look around. This was one of the most beautiful houses I had ever seen. But wait, why are we at a house?

Me: Why are we here?

Austin: A friend of mine is getting married and this is his engagement party

Me: What?! Why didn't you tell me this earlier?!

Austin: I know you wouldn't have agreed to coming. Let's go so I can introduce you to everyone

We walk inside and there were so many rich people around me. Austin greeted a few while I just smiled. I didn't know anyone so I didn't know what to say. The house was really big, a double storey. Austin walks me up the stairs, at the top there's a left and right turn, also there's a door in the middle. We walk straight towards that door and Austin opens it. Inside there was a couple cuddling together, they looked so cute together.

Austin: Michael

Michael: Austin you made it. And who's the lovely lady?

Austin: This is Aeko Ryan, my girl

Michael: She really must be, first time you introducing me to one of your girls

Austin: She's not one of, she's the only one

Girl: Well it's a pleasure to meet you Ms Ryan, I'm Jay Martin, soon to be Mrs Cole

Me: So this is the couple we celebrating, congratulations

Michael: Thank you, so when are you guys getting married?

Me: We not even dating

Jay: Trust me you are

Michael: If you here with him then you are

Me: Just like that?

Jay: Just like that, hell how do you think I ended up here

Michael: It's not like you don't love me anyways

Austin: I told you

Me: How do you survive with someone so annoying?

Michael: You so cute. We should head downstairs guys, we can't miss our own party

Austin: But there's parents downstairs

Michael: Exactly, you can thank Missy right here

Jay: Come Aeko let's go before these two kill me

Me: Can we kill that one? Then maybe I'll be able to sleep peacefully tonight

Jay: You guys are adorable

Me: Y'ull don't see what I see, that man is far from being adorable

Michael: If you don't marry her I'll kill you

Me: Does that still count if he proposes and I say no?

Jay: You won't, trust me

Me: You just had to run me over didn't you?

Austin: I didn't run you over

Jay: He ran you over?!

Austin: You have a party to host

Michael: This conversation isn't over

Austin: I'm going home early tonight

Me: And you mean your home right?

Austin: You so cute

We leave the room and head downstairs. Jay introduces me to some of her friends and I could tell they didn't like me. Some just gave me fake smiles and some gave rude comments but I'm not going to entertain them. Besides I have better things to worry about. I check the time and it's already ten o'clock. I look around and I can't see Austin.

Me: Jay have you seen Austin?

Jay: He must be with Michael somewhere

Me: I'll go look for them

Jay: No, no, no I'll call Michael

She then takes out her phone and calls up Michael

Jay: Aeko's looking for Austin, where are you guys?

Michael:....

Jay: Okay thanks baby

She then drops the call.

Jay: They coming

Me: Okay thanks, I'll go wait by the bar

I walk over to the bar and take a seat. The bartender offers me a drink but I've never been a fan of alcohol. I politely decline and rather ask for a cup of water.

Austin: I heard you were looking for me

Me: Where have you been? It's past ten and I have school tomorrow

Austin: I'm sorry I had something to take care of. Let's go home

I get up and we go say our goodbyes to Michael and Jay. We leave the house and Austin calls up Alex to pick us up. After a few minutes he arrives and we head on home. We reach my apartment and I felt flushed. I take of my shoes then head to my room to get undressed. I head to the bathroom and run the shower. I head back to my room to get a hair band.

Austin: Scarlet, nice

Me: What the hell Austin?!! Can't I get my privacy?

Austin: I just wanted to say goodnight, I didn't think I'd find you like, this

Me: Can you stop gawking at me

Austin: It's not my fault you look so good

Me: Get out, I want to take my shower

He goes into the bathroom and turns off the shower.

Austin: No you don't

Me: What do you want

Austin: Can I show you what I want?

Me: Depends what it is, can you hand me a towel?

Austin: No you look perfect like this

Me: Austin what do you want?

He comes close and just looks at me head to toe. I start getting nervous and just look down. He uses his hand to lift my face and makes me look at him. After a few seconds of eye contact he kisses me but I'm left so numb that I don't even respond.

This was my first kiss. It's my first kiss and instead of responding I'm busying thinking about the fact that it's actually happening. Wait, why is it even happening? I barely know this guy but here I am with him, kissing. Well actually he's the one kissing me. Why hasn't he stopped? Does he expect me to kiss him back? But I don't know how to!!! Oh my gosh I don't know how it kiss!!! Someone kill me now. What if I try and I bite him?! Okay, I'm just going to stop this now. I lightly push him away from me and there is so much awkwardness between us.

Austin: I'm sorry, I don't know why I did that. I'll leave, goodnight little girl

Me: Wait...

He then stops and turns around. Why the hell did I say that. What the hell am I going to say to him? {oh hey Austin, yeah I pushed you away because I cant kiss} stupid, I'm just looking at him and him me. I take a deep breathe and release it slowly.

Me: I've never.... I've never... Well see thing is.... I kinda like... Okay, I've never kissed someone before

Austin: What?

Me: Well yeah

Austin: You serious?

Me: Well the only kiss I've ever gotten was from my cousin and he....

Austin: He what?

Me: Well..

Austin: What did he do?!!

Me: He... Umm... He r***d me

Austin: What's his name?

Me: What?

Austin: What's his damn name?!!

Me: Jason, Jason Peterson

Austin: Take your shower then go to sleep. I have to go

Me: Where are you going?

Austin: Don't worry about it, goodnight little girl

He then gives me a kiss on the cheek and leaves. Austin being so calm made him so scary. His eyes screamed death and the tone in his voice was so low and dangerous. I've never been intimidated by Austin but right now I am. I stare blankly at the door till eventually the cold creeps in. I head to the bathroom and finally take my shower. I finish, dry up, lotion, get dressed then finally go to sleep.

Jayden's POV

We were all in Aeko's new training room that we're setting up. It was around eleven so we still wide awake, although Ethan is still mad about the whole Aeko being in hospital thing. I don't blame him, hell I'm as pissed off as he is but I know my sister, she's strong. If Austin wasn't the Don's Son, he'd be dead by now.

Muzi: We have a call

Me: From who?

Muzi: Austin

Ethan: Answer it and put him on loud speaker

Muzi then answers the call and puts Austin on loud speaker.

Austin: Hello boys

Me: To what do we owe this pleasure?

Austin: I need you to do me a favor

Ethan: Name it

Austin: I want you to bring the man who r***d my woman to my house

Muzi: What? Wait, who's your woman?

Austin: Aeko Ryan, I assume you must know her since she is your cousin Jayden. Now I want you to bring your brother to me before I get him myself, clear?

Me: Yes Sir

Austin: And Ethan you may want to call her, for her best friend you really are selfish

Ethan: Yes Sir, I'll call her

Austin: One more thing, next time s**t like this happens and you don't deal with it, I'll deal with you. Are we clear?

Us: Yes Sir

Muzi: But how did you know about Jason?

Austin: She told me

Me: Why would she tell you?

Austin: Just bring Jason over in 2 hours, I'm not gonna wait a minute longer than that

Us: Yes Sir

Austin: Jayden I have a package for you, I'll give it to you when you give me Jason

Me: Yes, I'll bring him over with Ethan

Austin: I don't care how you do it just get it done

And just like that he drops the call.

Muzi: Someone's not happy

Ethan: You think he actually likes her?

Me: Whatever it is, it better be good

Muzi: When are you getting Jason?

Ethan: Right now

Me: What?

Ethan: You heard the man, we only got 2 hours and not a minute more

Me: Oh and this has nothing to do with your own agenda?

Ethan: We have bigger things to worry about right now

Muzi: He's right, we should get a move on guys

Me: What do you think he's gonna do?

Muzi: I don't even wanna know, that kid scares me

Ethan: He scares you? Axe guy and everything

Muzi: You don't know that kid, something about him is dark. The Don is nothing compared to him

Me: Couldn't have said this earlier?!

Muzi: You wanted something to break Aeko, well now you've got it

Ethan: Wait, maybe he does actually care for her. Let's just go, we have a job to do

Me: This won't even take an hour, we just taking Jason

Muzi: What about your dad?

Ethan: Why don't we take him as well, let Austin deal with him?

Me: Yeah that way we could get rid of both of them. Wish we could take my mom too

Muzi: Old lady that annoying?

Me: She killed her own brother for money

Ethan: And why is she still alive?

Me: I'm going to use her during Aeko's training

Ethan: As what exactly?

Me: Target practice

Muzi: What makes you think Aeko's going to shoot her?

Me: She just needs to sing and the rest will happen naturally

Muzi: How you going to get her to do that?

Me: I'm going to need your help with that

Ethan: You want a truth syrum?

Muzi: How'd you guess?

Ethan: Wasn't hard. It is the easiest thing to do, I mean she'll sing like a lullaby

Me: So can you hook me up?

Muzi: Of course, anything for my baby sister. I just hope she doesn't hate people completely

Ethan: She will maybe, depends on how everything happens

Me: If she's broken then she's broken. How it happens is what we can't control

Muzi: Let's get those two so you guys can drop them off at Austin's place

Me: I thought he lived in Cape Town?

Ethan: Nope, he lives right here so he can keep an eye on Justin

Me: Why?

Muzi: They cousins

Ethan&I: What?!
