"So Cardinal is your...uncle?" she slipped on short jeans
I nodded.
"Come I've something to show you." I told her and she sat next to me
I opened a few files on the screen and she gasped.
"Is that Jennifer?" she asked
"Si." I answered "In six hours I found this much on her. Apparently she was adopted by Cardinal when she lost her family at eight in a fire. It was recorded that at birth she had a mental possession problem and as she grew when she wanted something or claimed it, it was hers no matter what."
"I don't get how she fits into this." Neveah looked confused
I opened another file.
"Cardinal took her in and has been taking advantage of her mental problem." I showed Neveah the adoption paper "Everyone thinks it was a nice act after she lost her family at eight in a fire but Uncle has been using her to get his possessions by her possessive nature."
"Oh no." she said "I always thought she was a bitch. Doesn't she have medication for that problem?"
"She does but Cardinal has been keeping it from her and Jennifer has no idea what she's doing." I looked at her "She's innocent. She's being used by Cardinal for his advantage and if he gets this mafia she's no longer any use to him."
"What's you mean?" Neveah raised an eyebrow
"He'd kill her after." I shook my head "I've lived with Cardinal for a while and when he's finish with any of his men and the task is done he kills them. He might do worst to Jenn then kill her. We've got to help her get over her obsession for Xavier and that would dismantle the whole scheme."
She nodded.
"How'd we stop them?" Neveah's brow creased "She's got beef with me, Geo and Jianan and Chrissy hates her guts now."
"We've got to get her medication somehow and make sure we don't blow our cover." I thought for a while "If only we could get in touch with Damanico. He's spent a lot of time with her and he'd know what to do."
"Leave that to me. Now let's eat." she stood up "I'm hungry."
"What are we eating?" I got up and followed her down the stairs
"Sandwiches?" she suggested
"Chicken ones." I grinned
"Fine. I'll be good and treat you today." she slapped my arm
"I'm always good Veah." I shrugged
"Liar." she stuck her tongue out at me as she bent over to the railing and called down to the cook
Sweet heaven. Her ass! I could just pull down her pants and fit inside her wet soft pussy and let her moan and.....
"Alessandro?" she was looking at me as she pulled down the front of her shirt awkwardly
I realized I was staring at her and I bit my lips.
"Forget snack time. Let's have fun." I pulled her back up the stairs and into my room before she could protest.
Her eyes lit up with amusement.
"If you're going to make me cheat on my man cut it out." she held out a finger at me fiercely
"Oh he won't know a thing unless you talk." I leaned in and kissed her and she smiled against my lips as she gave in.
Oh Neveah.
Xavier's POV
The rain was falling now and my mind went back to when Royalty stayed out in the rain in the garden and the night she was in my shirt. I closed the book I was reading and rolled off my bed. I went into my closet and searched through my shirts until I found the one she was wearing. I took it down and stared at it in my hands as the memories of her flowed back.
Where are you Royalty?
I sank down on the floor thinking about her. My heart was heavy for some reason and I was missing her. It was like I was forgetting something...something important.
Royalty....where are you baby.....why do I feel so lost without you?....come back baby girl.....Royalty.
Jennifer's POV
I walked into the room and looked around for Xavier. I was about to leave when I caught sight of a shadow coming from his closet and I walked across quietly. I looked in and found Xavier sitting on the ground turning one of his shirts over and over in his hand. He had a lost look on his face.
"Hey baby." I entered and he looked up
"Hey." he answered softly getting up "Looking for me?"
"Yeah." I nodded "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." he put a shirt back into his closet "Just remembering something that happened on a rainy day like this with someone."
"Is it alright if I ask who?" I softly inquired not wanting him to build a wall between us
"A girl." he answered flatly "A past girlfriend."
"Ok." I sensed he didn't want me to pry any further. "There's food downstairs, if you're hungry. It's still hot."
He nodded and brushed past me and out the door. I waited until his footsteps had died down and then took back out the shirt he was holding. Nothing seemed unfamiliar about it and I smelt it. It smelt of Xavier but there was another smell.....like spring. It suddenly hit me who he was referring to.
Royalty!
He was remembering her despite the fact that I was drugging him. I didn't understand that at the point that pure love had no boundaries no matter what and if I had known I would have changed my ways but I was more determined than ever to make Xavier mine and mine only. I took his shirt and left with it.
I've got to make him forget her. I've got to!
I fell onto his bed as we made out again for the fifth time that night. I was at Damanico's house late that night after Royalty went to sleep and we had dinner together. With him out all day with Royalty there's no time for dating so we do it in the night. We texted, called and saw each other secretly.
