The Mafia’s Heart’s Keeper

Chapter 7

Hazel POV

Groaning, I got out of the bed. I made my way to the bathroom and decided to take a shower. Today, Xavier intended time tell me about the plan. So I took a shower, brushed my teeth and wrapped a towel around my body. As I got out of the bathroom a voice spoke. 

"If you really wanted to seduce me you could have just asked. What was the need to do this?" I screamed in fright while Xavier stood there smirking like an i***t.

"What the f**k are you doing in my room?" He took a step forward.

"I came to say that breakfast is ready and quickly come downstairs."I nodded and he left closing the door on his way out. What the hell just happened? Xavier f*****g Knight just saw me in a towel. I really have to be careful next time.

"Urghh!" I screamed in annoyance and made my way to the closet and took out a pair of cotton shorts and a top. I tied my hair in a messy bun and applied a little bit of lipgloss on my lips. 

I went into the kitchen and saw Max talking to two guys. They immediately halted their conversation upon noticing my presence.

" Hi, you must be Hazel. I am Sam." The guy with brown hair introduced himself. He was kinda cute. 

"Hey yeah I am Hazel."Sam gave me a friendly smile while the other guy with dirty blonde hair continued to talk with Max and didn't even spare a glance.

"Well he is a bit rude. His name is Michael." Sam voiced out my thought.

"I heard that." He glared daggers at Sam.

"You were meant to."Sam smirked while I took out a bowl and poured some cereal along with milk. I made my way to sit on a stool while Sam and Michael continued to argue.

"Asshole." 

"Man whore." 

"Son of a b-"

"Enough." Xavier's deep husky voice boomed through the kitchen. He sat across me. They immediately stopped but glared at each other."Everyone meet me in the hall within 5 minutes.We have to discuss a lot of things." I nodded and placed my bowl in the sink and went to the hall. Max, Sam and Michael were already sitting on the couch. I went and sat beside Sam.

"So, when did come?"Sam questioned while staring at me.

"Just yesterday afternoon." He nodded and I took out phone skimming through i********:. Just then Xavier came and sat on one of the single couches. 

Xavier POV

I went to hall and noticed that everyone was here. Max and Michael were busy talking while Hazel played on her phone and Sam continued to stare at her. I felt a pang of jealousy when I saw Sam watching her and she didn't even notice it. What the f**k is wrong with me? I shook all my thoughts away and cleared my throat causing everyone to turn their heads in my direction. I went and sat on one of the couches. 

"We brought Hazel so that we could use her to frame Darren and take hold of the important folder. But it's not going to be easy and Hazel." She looked at me with her beautiful green eyes. "You have to be careful about what you do and Max here will be training you for a few days. So if anything happens you can protect yourself, ok?" She nodded her head and asked.

"But why do you need me to frame him ? And what's so important in that folder ?" I also didn't have the answer to her first question. Why did I pick her? Why did I want her to frame Darren when I saw her at the cafe and not any other girl? I thought about it for a moment and decided to tell her, 

"I am the mafia leader Xavier Knight " I said but was surprised to see that she didn't freak out but rather what she said astounded me." I know that." I continued to stare at her to see if she is lying or not but didn't find any clues.

"How?'

"The first day you told me your name from then on I knew that you were the mafia leader." She said in a bored tone."

"But you still came even after knowing that you might get into trouble." She nodded and I turned my attention to everyone and they all were surprised to see her react like that."So training starts at 2 go and get dressed." I informed and she got up making her way to her room.

"Man, she really is something." Sam exclaimed smirking.

"Can't you just stop thinking about s*x for a minute?" Michael questioned him and I rolled my eyes at their childish behavior and went to my office. I closed the door and sat on my leather chair. 

Hazel's reaction astounded me too. Why would she come even when she knew that I was dangerous? Maybe because of the money I offered her. Money can really make people do a lot of things. I smirked at the thought and  continued to work. But I like the way she is so comfortable in front of me and how she talks about everything mesmerises me. No I can't feel like this. I can't like her. It will only make me weak.
