The Mafia & The Billionaire

Alex

“It was worth the wait, honey,” I told Serene after our fourth round. I never thought I would feel this satisfied with her, yet I still can’t get enough of her. After I saw her and we got married, I never had any woman. I wanted to be faithful to her because I liked her and wanted her to do the same. Another thing is I had a feeling that she would eventually leave me. Because I didn’t want that to happen, I had to be a good and loyal husband to her.

“And you want me to believe that?” she asked, making me chuckle.

“Is it unbelievable?”

“Men are men, Alex.”

“Don’t compare me to those men you knew. I have class.” I replied, laughing.

“Class my ass,” she said,

“Can I just fuck your ass?” I replied, teasing. Her eyes widened, making her look adorable. Yes, for me, she’s cute. I pulled her closer to me and hugged her tight. “Honey,” I called her,

“What is it?” she asked.

“I am the happiest; thank you for giving me what every man wants for their wife.” I said, “Don’t get me wrong, as long as the man loves the woman, it doesn’t matter whether she is a virgin or not. But being the first man to my wife, I feel secure. Because you already gave me something I know no other man could ever get from you again.”

“Aren’t you ashamed that I am not the first woman you kissed and fuck?” She looked up and stared at me.

“With regret, but I can’t do anything about it.”

“If you want a virgin wife, you should have stayed a virgin as well.”

“I am not saying I want a virgin wife; anyone is okay as long as I like her and I can live with her,” I answered, but she just rolled her eyes at me. “This topic is not something to argue. People are different, and just like I said, being the first man in your life made me the happiest man on earth.”

“Are you telling me that you like me?”

“Isn’t it obvious?” I asked. Can’t she see it, or is she just dense?

“Sleep now, Alex. I’m tired,” she replied and closed her eyes. I shook my head in disbelief. I know she’s strong, but can’t she openly show me her soft side? I am her husband, so she should trust me. Wait, is she still thinking about what Lorenzo did to her mother?

“Honey,” I said,

“What is it, Alex..” she replied lazily, making me smile. Her voice sounds sexy to me, but I need to assure her.

“I am not Lorenzo, and I swear that I am going to be loyal to you and will be there for you no matter what.” She opened her eyes and looked at me intently. I met her gaze because I was true to myself when I said that. I was sincere, and I wanted her to feel that.

“Tell me that again when you already know me inside and out.” Then she closed her eyes, and I didn’t bother her anymore. What we had earlier and what I told her is enough for now to make her feel that my intention is pure. I hugged her, and I was thankful that she had let me. I slept with a smile on my face.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

The next day, I decided to go on a date with her. Since I had already announced our relationship and she was ready to introduce me to his father, being seen in public together was no big deal. We were supposed to go back home, but I think it would be better if we stayed another night here.

“Why do we need to go out?” she asked while we went to the elevator. She had been asking me about it, and I kept on answering that I wanted to spend quality time with her. Instead of answering her again, I grabbed her hand and intertwined our fingers. The elevator door opened, so we got in.

I hired a designated driver in the hotel and rented the car so we could go around the city easily. I wanted to avoid the hassle of commuting from one place to another.

We roamed around for the whole afternoon, finding places to dine and enjoy ourselves. We watched a movie and then went to a restaurant to grab a bite.

Deniro City is the Resort, Hotel, and Casino capital of the Crunich Republic. So, it’s the perfect place to go for anyone who wants to spend their money and gambling.

The hotel we are staying in doesn’t have casinos. It was the kind of hotel where formal gatherings happen, like last night’s awarding.

I brought Serene to La Vida at night. It’s the largest hotel, resort, and casino establishment in Deniro City. It has 20 branches in the country and over 127 branches worldwide. My friend owned it, but I had a share, making me familiar with the staff. But they were instructed to act like they don’t if necessary.

“Don’t tell me we’re going to play,” Serene said as we entered the casino.

“Mr. McGregor, we have a private table available for you,” said the receptionist. A private table means no one is allowed to join unless I allow it. Since I’m with my wife, of course, there should only be me and her.

“Thank you,” I replied, smiling, and followed the woman leading us while I still held my wife’s hand, who had nothing to say.

“What games do you like to play?” I asked my beautiful wife.

“I don’t play. If you want, you can do so. But you have to stay me out of it,” she replied. I creased my forehead after hearing that. For someone as tough as her, I didn’t want to believe she didn’t play.

“I play, but I’m not in the mood. Although I know those games, I wouldn’t say I like gambling either. That’s how most poor people lose what little they have.” She replied, making me chuckle. Seeing her strong and independent nature, I never imagined her having this concern with others. I am not thinking the worst about her, but she was compassionate enough to consider those who don’t concern her.

“Come on, honey. Just play with me.” I insisted, and she sighed. I smiled internally, thinking she would agree. She looked at the dealer and nodded.

“Since I agree, what’s going to happen next?” she asked as the dealer gave us our cards.

“If you win, I will let you do anything you want to my body later.” She furrowed her brows, so I laughed.

“And when you win?” she asked, glaring at me. She must have already known my answer.

“I will do anything I want with your body, just to be fair.” She creased her forehead, shaking her head.

“Both are your wins. Nothing is beneficial for me.”

“Then what do you want?” I asked,

“If I win, you’ll help me with the company.”

“I thought Patt”

“Yeah, he’s going to be there. But he’s just starting his corporate career, and he needs all the help he can get,” she said, cutting me off with my words while we continued playing. Her eyes were on her cards.

“And you think of me?” I asked, and she nodded.

“Even if you’re a pervert, I still think you’re a good businessman. The award you received last night will vouch for you, as will Patt and Enzo.”

“Patt and Enzo?”

“For some reason, those two admire you.”

“And you can’t see their reason?”

“No matter where I look at you, I only see a perverted man.” She answered, raising a brow. I laugh because of the way she sees me. Although I am not saying that I am not what she thought, I can say that I am not exactly like that. I am only acting like this with her and no one else.

We continued playing, and I could tell that she was really good having her stoic face, so I couldn’t tell what her cards were by only looking at her face. Even her body and eye movements are steady, giving me a hard time reading her.

I’ve got a full house, but I wonder why I hesitated. She’s leading our score by a point, and if I lose now, I don’t think I can hold my face high. Then she put down her card and covered it with her hand before looking at me. “Are you just going to look at me?” she asked.

All this time, she was talking to me about Serendipity and how perverted I was. This is the first time that she has asked me something about what I do. Is she trying to distract me? I want her to smirk at me so I would know she’s confident, but she still appears stoic. Damn, my wife is so good.

“All in,” I said, although there’s no money involved in our game. I didn’t break our gaze, and I caught her eyelids moving. What was that about?

“Let’s go home after this game,” she said instead.

“Okay,” I replied. Now I’m sure about my win. Then she showed me her cards. My eyes widened in disbelief. How could she be so lucky? It’s a fucking four-of-a-kind, A.
