“That was our Human Resources person calling to say Alena Pasnov has applied for the design consultant job at Indio Designs. She has an interview tomorrow.”
“Perfect timing. I was hoping she would see the ad. It was a long shot, but she’s taken the bait.”
“Hook, line, and sinker.”
“Make sure she’s hired and starts immediately.”
“Yes, sir,” Gio says as he leaves to pass on my instructions.
Knowing Alena is out at a club in the middle of the night has my blood boiling with jealousy. Unable to sit still, I start pacing back and forth, hoping it will help me focus. I need to put a stop to these extracurricular activities. Just thinking about her with another man makes me angry. She won’t have time for anything else if I can keep her busy at her new job.
I rub a hand over the ten o’clock shadow on my jaw. I have an idea.
Alena will join the team I have in place at Indio. She will be working alongside Sophia, a woman I used to fuck until she made the mistake of thinking our casual sex was going to lead to something more permanent and exclusive. She was wrong, of course, and I’ve been ghosting her. When Sophia finds out I’m engaged to Alena, her claws will come out, and she will make Alena’s life a living hell as retribution for me taking her out of the marriage equation.
Alena won’t know what hit her.
Gio returns to tell me it’s done.
“Great. Sophia has been nagging me to give her more staff to help redecorate the hotel. This will shut her up.”
“Are you sure you want Sophia around Alena? What if something happens? You know how she gets when she’s pissed off.”
“That can be said for just about every woman,” I chuckle. Someone used Wu to fuck me over my first week as the don. That won’t happen again. “I can control Sophia if she gets out of hand.”
Satisfied my plan is in motion, I return to the leather chair and light a cigar. We need to discuss the marriage contract.
“Alena will be pissed when she figures everything out. She won’t like being a pawn in my game. The contract needs to stipulate the marriage has to be consummated and Alena needs to be pregnant within a year. I need an heir.”
“She’s not gonna be happy about being told what to do. Her father has spoiled her by allowing excessive freedom.”
“It wasn’t intentional. He’s just an old prick, too busy working to pay attention to his daughter. He has no clue what he’s been given, but he’ll learn when I take her. I will make sure she has enough guards to fight off an army if necessary.”
Mandating a shared marital bed in the contract will make it difficult for her to resist me. I can’t wait to fill her with my cum. My cock twitches just thinking about it.
Fuck.
Now I have to see her. Why wait? I’m the don. I can fuck who I want—when I want.
I order Gio to get the car.
“We’re going to the club.”
“That’s not a good idea. You have a plan, a perfect plan. Why risk screwing it up?”
“You don’t get a vote.” I’m quick to remind him. Gio is my best friend, but we have clear boundaries. I rely on his wisdom, and he helps me run an empire, but tonight, I’m a man first, a don second.
“Fine, but I’m going with you to run interference if needed. That place is crawling with every mafia family in the city. We don’t know who will come for you next.”
“Fine, get your gun.”
Gio nods, then calls for the car to be brought up. Within minutes, we’re in the G-wagon. I sit in the back, and Gio sits up front with the driver. It’s a painstakingly long ride to get from Long Island to Manhattan.
Alena loves the limelight—that much is obvious. She lives in a condo overlooking Central Park. If I know anything about New Yorkers, they’d rather give up sex than give up life in the city. If I take Alena away from this lifestyle, she may become restless and resentful.
“Have the penthouse floor of the Central Park hotel prepared for me.”
“Are you planning to live there?”
