Fractured hearts

Starts with a lie

I sensed her hesitation when I asked her to move in and it makes me wonder if she's actually hiding anything, yes I may have tracked her phone when she went out as I wanted to know who she was meeting and who the text was from but her location turned off when she got to her apartment and when I hacked into the street cameras her car was parked there, forty five minutes later her location come back on and I am not stupid I know she turned her phone off and on. I watch from the living room as tara comes in and out the rooms looking for something, I know she has a shift in a hour and I plan on dropping her off before going to see a old friend about something. I know I shouldn't be this jealous or a walking red flag but when I you run a mafia you have to make sure everyone your close is safe and with Tara being my wife I need to make sure she's ok, or betraying the mafia as I have to protect those also.

"You okay" I ask tara when she comes in the room once again looking for something, she has that face that she's thinking about something, I have already figured her facial expression out like when I asked her to move in and when she said 'sure' she started overthinking everything and I know I shouldn't have left her too it but I know she needed to be sure. Tara looks up at me and gives me a smile, I smile back.

"I was looking for my watch, have you seen it?" I look at tara before picking up her watch thats on the coffee table that she places there earlier when she was sat with me. Tara walks over and takes her watch before giving me a kiss and walking back into our bedroom to finish getting ready. When I asked her to move in I also wanted to tell her to quit her job but I knew she would have hated that as I would have also hated it. I am still trying to learn everything I can from tara however she's only giving me little snippets of information.

Tara walks out the bedroom looking absolutely beautiful in her uniform and I just want to take her back to the bed and f**k her hard and rough but I know she has to get to work or she be late. grabbing my phone and car keys I get ready to go with tara following be behind. I have already looked into the restaurant tara works out making sure everything is too my liking and fortunately it is, Tara has a decent job and boss. The drive to work doesn't take long but tara is on the closing and I don't know if I am that happy about her working late but tara has told me nothing bad happens and I take her word for it. Driving to the curb tara jumps out after giving me a kiss and I watch her go before driving to a old friend office needing his services.

Pulling up to his building I walk straight to his elevator not signing in and pressing the button for the top floor, I don't care if he's busy he will make time for an old friend which I know. When the elevator comes to a stop I see his personal assistant sitting here on her computer she's a little pretty thing and I understand why he's obsessed with her, she has those lips but my little runner is the only women for me. His assistant looks up before buzzing me In knowing who I am, she gives me a smile and I give her a head nod. The door opens and my old friend Oakley is sitting behind his desk with a smile

"Holden king, what do I owe the pleasure" Oakley says pointing towards a seat and I see him press a button making sure the office is soundproof and that no one can get in. Oakley owns a private security firm and loves his privacy more than myself, we have been friends a while and he's someone I can trust with my life so I bite my lower lip wondering if I should come out and say it. This isn't just about my privacy anymore but Tara's who I need to make sure is protected.

"This visit is business, I need one of your best for someone" I say being vague for now and Oakley gives me a look before sitting up, I have come to his for business before but never for him to track and follow someone before as my own men can normally handle it but I need Oakley man to follow her, I don't need my men talking about a wife I have that they don't know about.

"This someone, is she someone special?" he pokes trying to get the information from me and I look at him wondering what he's getting at, I have been known not to settle for years and for the past six months I haven't been spotted with anyone so I see how he can come out and say it.

"My wife" I say and watching his facial expression change dramatically as he coughs on his own spit, he looks at me with a raised eyebrow as no one is aware I am married, I have got used to saying that, I am a married man and I like it. I pull my phone out and show him a photo of her I got from a camera, he looks at the photo before looking back at me with a nod

"She a beauty you did well buddy, I am guessing you like to keep that you are married under wrap which shouldn't be a problem. I got the perfect person for the job" Oakley says passing along the file to me to review knowing I want the best for my wife. I read over the file before passing it back needing to go over what I need from him.

"This is simply follow and report, I need eyes on my wife. When she's at my penthouse she's safe but she works at a restaurant where I cant protect her" Oakley nods and puts the file on his laptop before standing up, I give him a handshake knowing we have a deal.

I know its wrong for me to get someone to spy on her life and report back to me but I need to make sure she's protected and the only way for that is for someone to follow her, I know she's hiding her past from me also. The man doing the job starts tomorrow and I can be more relax knowing someone is watching her, when she's in the penthouse she is free to do anything without being watch but when she's in the restaurant I need to make sure no one gets too close to whats mine, I don't share.

Part me knows I wouldn't have given tara a divorce if she asked for one, she is part of me and I don't intend letting her go, death due us part. Even if I did grant her a divorce I know she never be free from me as I am a mafia boss which comes with so many enemies that wouldn't care if weren't together, they still see her as a target for information and I wouldn't let that happen. I may not know much about my wife but I know she's a good person, just with some trust issue and with a past that she wants to remain hidden and I cant blame her for that considering I haven't told her much about me either.
