5- Meeting with the devil
1127 Words
Cameron Douglas was Ismael's biggest nemesis when he was still breathing. It wasn't just Ismael every other mafia hated him, he was the underdog of the mafia world. A pure devil, at the mention of his name men trembled, children cried and many locked their doors.
No one knew his origins, just like Alexander he was an illegitimate child raised in secret. One night he suddenly appeared out of nowhere and challenged his father the previous ruler of the serpents to a fight. The old man lost his life to Cameron's dagger that night, no one saw it coming or dared to raise a questioning finger. In the mafia the winner takes it all, the weak has no place as leader.
Cameron had a paper that needed Ismael's stamp, a hefty amount of his goods were stuck at the border and Ismael was the only one who held the password to that area. He had spent months trying to coax the old man into giving his approval promising him many returns once the goods were cleared but Ismael did not budge.
Everyone knew that Cameron was a brute and one dared not do business with him. Initially he had planned to get things done the rough way but luckily for him Ismael and his entire family passed away in a plane crash and his successor was some wimpy looking kid.
He almost could not believe his eyes when his men presented him with the pictures of the new captain that had the mafia world in an uproar. As if on cue he got engaged to the Bellaforce's only daughter obviously to seek protection confirming Cameron's thoughts that this Alexander was indeed a coward and getting him to sign the papers wouldn't take much effort just a little smack and it'll be over.
Immediately he headed for the mael ship eager to meet captain Alexander.
Alexander did not budge when informed of Cameron's presence in the mansion she knew he had unfinished business with Ismael, once in a while he would pull up and make a mess, leave only to return few weeks later.
There was something he desired from Ismael and in the mafia world no one was crazy enough to sign a deal with the devil.
But Alexander knew, if she wanted to wreck this ship down to dust she needed to let the intruder in and Cameron Douglas was a mighty opponent, even Rosalie couldn't measure up to him.
So she came to a conclusion to use him as a tool for her revenge.
"Captain Alexander." Cameron's smooth voice greeted as she approached him.
He was seated on a chair in a black suit and tie. An enormous amount of gel forced his midnight black hair to sleep, his brows were neatly trimmed and everything he had on from head to toe screamed designer.
The man oozed class and money but also danger.
"Cameron Douglas." Alexander repeated his name in the same unsettling manner he had called hers.
He smirked, "first of all I would like to offer my condolence. Losing your entire family in a night must be hard."
The insincerity in his tone was evident.
Alexander strolled over to the chair ahead and slumped on it. "Trust me I'm the happiest person on the planet right now."
"Really?" Cameron beamed.
"Well since you're in a good mood how about you do me a favor.."
"You see I have some papers that requires your daddy's stamp, old man wouldn't sign it but he's dead now so.."
"Where are the papers?" Alexander asked.
He blinked back shocked at her reaction but handed it over anyways.
Flipping the drawer beneath her open she brought out a black box, uncovered it and without hesitation stamped the seal on the white paper without even reading the contents.
"Here you go." She handed him the paper with a smile.
Cameron was beyond shocked, he did not expect her to give in so easily. Although a bit feminine the man did not appear like a coward, there was something sinister behind his smile that bothered Cameron a great deal it felt like he was walking into a trap.
He threw a punch out of the blue and Alexander skillfully ducked having seen it coming. Tyrants don't like it when something falls on their lap easily or someone submits to them willingly, if she wanted to use him she had to earn his respect first.
She landed a blow on his cheek and he took a step back amused.
"Not bad." He wiped the blood off his mouth.
He launched another attack and this time Alexander could not escape his hold, with his hands on her waist he tumbled her to the floor.
Cameron did not know what it was but he could tell Alexander was hiding something and unless he uncovered the truth right here and now he wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.
"Tell me boy, what are you hiding?" He managed to pin Alexander to the ground while she struggled to free herself.
"And don't say nothing because I know there's something."
"Was signing the papers not enough?" She said with heavy breaths, "What else do you want?"
He was crushing her with his weight in a very unholy position that sent electric jolts down her spine but Alexander dared not say a word.
"Seems like you have everything planned out, why don't you fill me in? I hate being left in the dark you know."
"Fine," she said in a fake surrender.
"Get off me and I'll tell you."
He eyed her a bit skeptical wondering whether or not to believe her.
"I've got nothing to lose anyway." He released his hold on her rising to his feet, "It's not like you can beat me in a fight."
A sudden punch threw him off balance and he staggered a few steps back.
"I dare you to say it again." Alexander stood tall with a proud smirk.
Cameron's vision was clouded with rage as he advanced towards her in heavy steps, "you are so going to regret that."
He charged towards her at full speed and just as she was about to escape she missed a step and tripped. Instinctively she held on to his collar in a bid to save herself pulling him along with her to the ground.
They both fell with Cameron crushing her with his weight once more. A look of disbelief was plastered all over his face and Alexander couldn't understand why. It wasn't until she felt a light squeeze on her boobs did it dawn on her.
The cat was finally out of the bag.
"Wait," Cameron broke the silence with absolute terror written on his face.
"You're a woman?"
