Chapter 11
Did you just roll your eyes ?
Alex's POV
"Father, what are you doing here?" I asked walking towards him for a hug after almost shitting myself.
"Oh, you know just hiding some bodies in the basement" He said. See where I get my twisted sense of humour from...?
"But father you shouldn't be here, the security isn't tops here today" I said pulling away praying to god he won't give me a lecture now about how stupid what I'm doing is.
"And why is that?" He asked looking at me curiously.
"The Black Snakes leader is coming here, and I didn't want him to get suspicious so we went for less security, we invited more business people and less mafia organizations" I said
"Wait, Alessandro was serious about your plan?" He asked dropping the smile from earlier.
"Yeah, I guess"
"Alex-" He said sounding worried but I cut him off knowing that he'll try to talk me out of this.
"Hey, you were the one who told me that good leaders would sacrifice anything for their people, and that's what I'm doing" I said as he sighed.
"But you be careful bambino, okay? I don't expect little from Christian Black's son" He warned me.
"You know, I was gonna get killed before you said that" I said sarcastically. He gave me a look and I changed the topic quickly. "So, what do you think of this place?"
"Looking good, too much for my own taste but I like it"
I gave Cami a look thinking about the lights she had on before and we both burst out laughing.
"You girls are still as strange as I left you, I guess somethings never really change." He said taking a champagne from the trey beside us.
"Have we got any Jack Daniels?" I asked Camila.
"Yeah in the basement" She replied, "I'll get them to bring a few to the kitchen" She said walking away.
"Still following your old man’s habits?" Father asked laughing
"What can I say, tough century" I replied chuckling.
"We have got around 45 minutes left, wanna head to my office and discuss some stuff?" I asked
"You read my mind, I want updates on the plan and everything that has been going on" He said as we started walking.
I truly am my father’s daughter..
I was pretty sure that he knew that I was trying to get close to the Black Snake leader, for another reason than just taking the gang down.
But he didn't say anything.
Which I appreciated 'cause if he knew this has something with mother to do, he would stop me even if it's the last thing he would do.
The only thing father fears is losing someone else, and the only people left he cares about are me and Alessandro.
He didn't even want me to take over at first.
It's not that usual for the girls to lead but he couldn't really say no when I had outdone my brother in pretty much every aspect. But every time we tried solving mothers case he would tell us to drop it and not let us continue.
With that we sat for around half an hour in my office and discussed the business. He told me that I should give the Swedes a chance, so I decided to fly to Sweden later this week and discuss everything there and later on update him.
"We should head out, guests are coming soon" I said when everything important had been brought up.
So we got out and welcomed everyone who had already arrived.
That's when I saw him walk through the door, with Enzo beside him.
Damn he looked good..
He had a mate black tux that fit him perfectly and a white dress up shirt that wrapped around his body so you could see his muscles outlines under.
Show off much ? Next to him was Enzo who also cleaned up pretty good. But he didn't stand a chance against Elijah.
We reached the location Alex sent me and it was a good-looking mansion in a pretty fancy area.
We walked inside after checking with security and that's when I was speechless. In front of me stood the most beautiful girl. I saw Alex head towards me and damn she looked hot as hell. She had a short dark dress on that showed her long legs and delicious curves.
snap out of it Elijah.
"Hey" She said with a smile as she approached us. "Glad you could make it" she added.
"Hey, Yeah me too. Happy birthday " I said handing her a box. I had my assistant pick out a diamond necklace and earrings for her.
"Oh, you didn't have to" She said opening the box "It's beautiful" She said at last hugging me and giving me a simple kiss on the cheek making Enzo's eyes almost pop out of their place.
"Not as beautiful as you, mia bella" I said looking at her. She got quiet and blushed before she gave the box to the maid behind her to put them in her room.
"Let me introduce you to my family" She said.
"Father, there is someone I want you to meet" She said walking towards a group of men leading us there...
Wait did she just say father?!
Fucking Angelo Salvatore was here! I looked at Enzo who also was as shocked as me and gave him a look that I'm pretty sure said what the f**k.
"Elijah this is my father, Angelo Salvatore, Father, this is Elijah Black, my friend" She said.
It got awkward pretty quick, so I stretched out my hand to the front willing to shake his hand, and he took it after a second.
Damn that could have been awkward.
But it's kind of suspicious.
It's almost as if he could see through me and knew who I was.
But no that's impossible, no one does. So he might just be really intense and overprotective over his daughter, I mean damn he has every right to.
"And Alessandro, my twin brother" She said. He however looked as if he was ready to kill me. Now I wonder if she even knows s**t about the mafia or if she really is as innocent as she seems.
After a bit of small talk we decided to go grab a drink. We stood there for a while talking. She was truly lovely. I find it hard to believe that she can be involved in such a criminal life.
That she could kill an ant, let alone someone.
I had a chance to f**k stuff up for her now, so I took that opportunity.
"So, I thought you were a Jonas" I asked suspiciously as she took a sip of her drink.
"See, you should never trust someone with a fake Id in the club who just had three Jack Daniels" She said in a low voice coming closer to me.
Damn she played good. If she even is playing. She is either trained for this s**t or truly innocent? What if she really isn't involved and I'm just wasting my time with the enemies daughter.
"Right you weren't even 21" I laughed "So you are a Salvatore then?" I asked "Business?"
"Yeah" She smiled. "And you are the owner of Black Industries, right?" She fired back.
"a few casinos and clubs over the states & the companies" I replied "Enough business talk"
"Well, what do you wanna talk about?" She asked.
I smirked placing her cup down and whispering in her ear "You" She looked kind of surprised which is good, if she truly is the enemy then the plan is working. She took a breath to steady herself and spoke.
"It's time for dinner, don't you think?" She took a champagne and walked towards Alessandro and her father, they talked for a second and they headed towards the huge stairs in the room.
Was I that scary that she almost ran away or..?
When the three of them were standing on top, her father tabbed a silver knife a few times on a champagne glass making the room quite down a bit.
"I would like to say a few words" Angelo, her father said. When all the eyes were focused on him and his family, he spoke again.
"Today, we are here to celebrate the successful & beautiful children I'm glad to call my own. My daughter, Alexandra Salvatore and my son, Alessandro Salvatore's birthday. These young adults have been leading The Salvatore business for years now, and I think we all know how good of a job they are doing. They have been the best children and family I could ask for. I don't wanna talk much but I want to tell them that I'm proud of them and how far they have come. We are all proud of them. Their mother would be too. So let's all raise our glasses to the Salvatore's siblings. To Alexandra and Alessandro. Cheers"
Everyone in the room raised their classes & took a sip, Not long after Alexandra was now in the front probably wanting to say a word too.
"Ladies, gentlemen, Alessandro" She spoke as everyone laughed.
"I want to thank you all for coming out here today. It's amazing being able to be here tonight with all of you. I want to thank everyone who has been with us since the beginning of the rode. My family, my friends, and my team. None of this life would be without you. I want to thank my father for always believing in us and being there for us when we most needed him. I want to thank Alessandro for being the best brother I could ask for and trusting me when I ask him to. Lastly thank you all for taking a part in our lives. Have a great evening" She said at last as everyone clapped, and her brother stepped forward for his word.
When everyone had sipped on their drink Angelo spoke again "Also please join us for a dinner with the family he said holding his glass towards the door the maids just opened. It was another giant room with tables and waitresses ready to serve food.
When everyone started heading inside I decided to wait for Alex. I saw her small talking to the guests and that's when a dude came out of nowhere and hugged her and kissed her on the cheek, It was the same guy from that night at the club. There was another guy beside him, but as soon as he saw me he turned around & almost ran away. I couldn't see is face but I sure as hell wanted to go and punch his friend, but I controlled myself. She noticed me starring so she tightened her hug and whispered something to him. That's when I decided to head towards them.
"Hope I'm not interrupting the moment here" I said that's when they both pulled away from each other and smiled. Am I being paranoid or is this weird?
"No, not at all. I was just wishing her a happy birthday" He said giving me a smile before walking away.

Alex's POV
After fathers sweet speech I waited for everyone to head inside, a lot of them small talked and wished me & brother a happy birthday on the way in. Mike made a quick appearance to listen to the speech & hugged us both before he went back to taking his low-profile position, and then Antonio came outta of nowhere and pulled me in for a hug. He kissed me on the cheek and that's when I noticed Elijah staring at us.
I could have sworn that he was on his way to punch Antonio and because I'm the b***h I am, I told Antonio to stay when he pulled away from the hug
"Why" He whispered back.
"You'll see" I replied trying to hold myself from laughing.
Not a second after Elijah was already standing beside us and spoke
"Hope I'm not interrupting the moment here" He said while me and Antonio pulled away from each other.
Antonio understood why now and gave me a kind of pissed of smile while I tried holding back my laughter.
"No, not at all. I was just wishing her a happy birthday" Antonio smiled at Elijah and walked away as I smirked.
Was someone already being overprotective? s**t this is easier than I thought.
"Shall we?" Elijah said while holding out his hand for me to take.
"Of course" I smiled taking his hand and walking towards the room.
We sat and food was served. Of course I would rather have burger, fries, and a milkshake, but fancy ass salmon & steaks had to do for now.
"So, you don't talk a lot about yourself" I said to Elijah sitting beside me.
"Well, we haven't really had time to do a lot of talking" He let out a little laugh.
I rolled my eyes at him taking a sip of my wine.
"Did you just roll your eyes at me" He said whispering in a low husky voice that made my stomach flip.
"I think I just did.. what are you gonna do about it?" I asked playfully as he chuckled.
"You shouldn't" He said
"What will you do about it?" I asked again dangerously.
"Do you really wanna know?" He said
That's when one of the businessmen sitting in front of us spoke.
"So Alex, do you ever consider expanding and adding to the Salvatore Industries?" The man who's name I don't remember asked.
As soon as I opened my mouth to speak I felt a hand on my knee, I quickly looked at Elijah and as he smirked pretending to listen to the conversation. "Honestly, I'm-"
I felt his warm fingers go higher and higher up until they were around the edge of my panties. After a second of him playing with the sides he started stroking slowly with the panties being the only hinder from him touching me directly.
I could barely speak anymore so I thought pretending to cough sounded like a good idea
"um sorry, I don't really know-.. I-I well we already have the casinos and um... hotels. So I don't really know if there is much... left to add" I sighed trying to speak properly.
Can someone please get this guy outta here?! Imagine me moaning in front of my family and all the guests. I would literally kill him..
I could tell that Elijah was really enjoying this so I thought I would give him a taste from his own medicine. I put the drink down from my hand and placed it on the table. I slowly took my hand and placed it on Elijah's thigh. I slowly started moving it upwards and asked.
"Do you Elijah?" I asked him, while playing with his belt.
He looked really surprised so I thought I should take the opportunity to make this even. I very slowly moved my hand further down and moved my fingers up and down slowly stroking him. I went faster and faster. I could feel him starting to harden a bit and that's when I slowed down, "I don't.. know...May- maybe" He replied looking as if he would kill me while clearing his throat.
"Two can play this game" I said in a low voice looking at him with a smirk on my face & removing his hand from my thigh.
You wanna play dirty, Black?
Careful 'cause two can play..
