My eyes meet Ivy's piercing green ones when she drops a plate full of cake on the table in front of me, my head turning and I see Akira stab the chocolate cake with a fork.

"Eat" they both demand at the same time, I roll my eyes as Ivy sits down beside me and is slapping her dress to calm it done, how Akira runs her hands through her hair as she sits on the other side of me

I send Ivy a weird look when she's fanning herself with her hands, sitting beside me instead of being with her guests and Ares.

"I'm not hungry," I murmur, crossing my arms over my chest, rubbing my forearms with my palms when a cool breeze runs through the air. I'm genuinely not hungry, but that doesn't change the fact I haven't eaten all day.

It's almost midnight, most of the guests have left and it's just the closer family and friends left.

Mason had to leave because a player on his team got injured so he's filling in, and D is dropping him off to the jet.

Akira sighs as she leans back against her chair, "can you at least have some?" she asks nicely and I raise an eyebrow at her friendly tone. She narrows her eyes the slightest bit telling me my feisty bestie is still hidden in there.

When Ivy sends me a 'please' look I let out a deep breath before reaching forward and grabbing the metal fork in my fingers, lightly getting some cake on the fork before bringing it towards my lips.

My eyes find Seb's back as he talks to some random old man, Regina or whatever her name was is standing beside the old man. Ares and Athena had to invite them because of their alliance, but she makes me want to take this very fork and stab her tits until I drain them of the plastic.

My hand grips the fork tighter as I bring it towards my mouth, I watch as her eyes slowly run down Seb's body as he seems to be completely oblivious, talking to the old man in front of him.

I tone out the conversation Akira and Ivy are having about her honeymoon, I roughly pull the fork out of my mouth as I watch Regina undress my man with her eyes, how the hell is he so damn unaware of her eye fucking him?

That or he just doesn't give a shit.

Another gust of cold air hits me and I feel goosebumps rise on my skin, my eyes narrow a bit when she bites down on her bottom lip, her eyes following every action Seb takes. Even when he twists his wrist to look at the time from his watch.

I swear to fucking god...

I drop my fork to the plate and the 'clink' sound causes the conversation between the two to stop, they both look at me with a raised eyebrow. Or well Ivy tries but fails to raise only one eyebrow.

"I have to pee" I almost grit out, Ivy rolls her eyes and waves me away before continuing her conversation with Akira.

I stand up off my chair before pushing some hair off my shoulder and grabbing my phone, I send one last glare to Reggie or whatever her name was before turning the other way and walking towards the bathrooms.

I open my phone and look at my missed notifications, seeing John messaging me my plane ticket which is set for 4 in the evening tomorrow. I don't want to go, but I have no other choice because of the meeting.

I have to get all my sponsors and partners back, when the whole scandal with Hunter and Rachel happened 95% of my partners and deals were cancelled and now Rachel and her team were told to be there along with my team so we can tell everyone it was a lie.

A sick lie she told to the world.

Sighing before pushing open the door to the bathroom and walking in, the sounds of my heels against the tiles echo in the room as I walk in front of a mirror.

I put my phone on the white counter in front of me before running my hands through my hair and fluffing it, trying to volumize it but when it falls like before I sign out of annoyance.

I try over again and like before it doesn't work so I bend down and let it all fall in front of my face before roughly running my hands through it, and then I push my head back up quickly.

Smiling when it's beautifully done, I fix it a bit with my hands as I look around the bathroom.

The door swings open and my eyes snap to the person who walks in, resisting the urge to roll my eyes when mine meet with a pair of dark green ones, Regina gives me a smile faker than her Louis Vuitton.

I don't return the gesture, instead I act like she's not beside me and look at myself in the mirror before fixing my dress.

I can feel her eyes on me as she stands there, quickly grabbing my phone when I was about to leave but she steps in front of the door. I can look down at her 5'1 frame, "did you need something?" I ask and just then notice the annoyance in my voice.

She grins, "you're Abby, right?" she asks and I take a step back when her horrible perfume starts to register, nodding slowly thinking of what she could possibly want from me.

Dominico was right, she smells worse than a raccoon after diggin' through trash...

"I'm Paula," she puts her hand forward for me to shake, the grin plastered onto her face with every movement she makes.

My eyes run down her body slowly to see the black bodycon dress she has on, fake louis that make my face almost scrunch up.

When I don't take her hand she clears her throat causing my eyes to snap back to her's, she knows I hate her so why take the effort to make her believe otherwise?

She crosses her arms over her chest and I can't help but let my eyes dip for a second, damn-stay focused bitch.

Right...

"My dad is talking to Seb about an arrangement between us" she almost spits out at me, dropping her act and I raise an eyebrow. When a girl is a bitch on the inside she's not even attractive, like before I thought she was hot as hell but now she looks like she used expired makeup and called it a 'look'.

Why is she calling him Seb? Did he let her call him that?

"Okay?" I question, I don't want or need to know who Seb has as partners in his mafia.

Paula almost laughs in my face before talking again, "I meant a marriage between us for an alliance between our mafias, but you wouldn't know how that works. Would you?" she looks at me in disgust and I freeze.

What the fuck

I picture Seb with her and my jaw clenches as I hold onto my phone tighter, trying to move past her but she only blocks my path. I won't assume anything before I speak to him, I'm not running like last time.

"Move" I snap but she only smirks at my expression.

Looking me up and down in disgust as if I'm some bitch someone picked off the streets, I'm a self made millionaire. "He's going to be mine soon, someone who knows this world-his world," she pauses with a scoff.

"Not some common whore like you, do you even know how to shoot a gun?" she asks, her tone going higher and higher threatening to burst my eardrums.

My hand fists at my side when she calls me a 'common whore', then again she'd know much about that wouldn't she?

I feel my heart drop at her next words, "he's considering the alliance" she licks her lips and takes a step closer to me. "I'll treat him better, I'll make him forget you even existed" she adds in a small whisper.

My eyes meet her's and she smiles at me, "don't worry, you'll find someone for you." She taps my shoulder as if she's actually my friend, and she actually cares about me and my love life.

There's no way he's considering it, is he?

He seemed fine when he was talking to her and her father, was he actually thinking about leaving me for her?

My heart beats ten times faster as I don't give her another second of my time, I push her out of the way before rushing out of the door.

Imagining her standing beside my Seb at some alter makes me sick, no, no he wouldn't do that. Would he?

No, he'd never leave yo-but she said he was considering the alliance or whatever the hell it was. That means he was considering leaving me.

I walk out of the hallway before looking around, when my eyes land on Seb talking to Ares and Dominico I stride towards him. I am not fucking letting him leave me.

My teeth clatter slightly from the cold wind rushing past me as I walk in the opposite direction of it, when I start approaching them Dominico is the first to see me.

I grab Seb's wrist and grin fakely at the other two guys. They look at me with a confused look, "he needs to piss" is the only explanation I give them as I turn around and start dragging Seb the opposite direction from the bathrooms.

"I do?"

I look back with a glare as I drag him out of the entrance of the hotel and towards some alley at the back of the place, "shut up"

It only gets colder when we step out into the back alleyway and I tighten my grip on his hand as I pull him past the trash cans.

Walking a bit further so that no one can see us or find us before turning around and pushing him against some random wall.

I lean forward and slam my lips on his before he could talk, even with my heels I'm on my toes to kiss him. His words were mumbled by my lips as he leaned back into the wall and spreads his legs to pull me between them.

My hands sliding up to his cheeks and I cup his face, pulling him closer as I kiss him with too much urgency. His lips moving against mine as rushed and roughly as mine are against his sends a current down my body.

His hands sliding down my waist until they're on my hips and he's tugging me closer, thankfully he doesn't question my actions, he just kisses me back.

He wouldn't leave me.

Our kiss shoots straight to my chest, I can hear my heartbeat in my fucking ears. His hands slide up to my cheeks and he forces me to drop mine to his chest as he forcefully tilts my face to the side the slightest bit.

There's some dip in my stomach, the one you get when you're on a roller coaster and you go down the first drop, when you experience something fucking amazing.

His hands can't stop running over my body, tightly, I feel one of his hands grab my ass cheek and pull me closer to him, I can't help but moan into his mouth and grip his shirt in my hands.

My eyes would have rolled to the back of my head if they weren't closed when he sucked hard on my bottom lip.

Both of us ignoring how messed up my lipstick is getting by our kisses.

"Fuck," he moans under his breath as we parts for only a second before his lips are on mine again, I feel his erection against my lower stomach and I lean into his warm body.

Slipping my hands under his blazer as I hug my arms around him, my eyebrows furrow as I try taking control of our kiss.

He loves control, he fucking craves it and when I nip at his bottom lip he groans before his hand slips off my ass.

I gasp when my lips are teared apart from his when he grabs my hair and wraps it around his fist, "be a fucking good girl" he demands before slamming his lips on mine again.

I curse myself when I whimper and push my thighs together, I fucking love it when he bosses me around.

My hands slip down his back and I feel his muscles tense under my touch as he kisses me roughly.

The second I pull apart for air he tightens his grip on my hair and pulls me right back, the sharp inhale of air I got seems like nothing when he kisses me with everything.

He grinds his hips into mine and I gasp against his mouth, every time our lips part he slams them back together, I can barely catch my breath as Seb kisses me like he can't-or how he doesn't know how to stop.

I grip the collar of his shirt to pull myself away from him, even when we're both breathing and panting harshly he disapproves and tries pulling me back. But before he could I talk, "say you'd never leave me"

I don't let the new insecurity of him being with someone from his world that Paula put in me show, I don't want to lose him again, I can't do this shit without him, not again.

There's not a single ounce of hesitation in his voice as he answers, "nunca, Ximena" he almost laughs as if my demand was the stupidest thing ever.

[Never]

I look up at him before pulling him closer, "I mean it, tell me you're never leaving me" I glare at him to be serious.

His lips have my smeared red lipstick on them and I can only imagine mine to be the same, "I wouldn't leave you, never in a million lifetimes" his eyebrows furrow slightly from how much I needed to hear those words.

I don't give him any sort of explanation before wrapping my arms around him and kissing him like my life depends on it.

My hand slides into his soft hair as I gently kiss him, relief flooding my body as his words repeat in my head. I knew she was lying.

He pulls apart and I sigh when he rests his forehead against mine, my eyes remain shut as he brings his hands up and cradles my cheeks comfortingly. "You okay, mi vida?"

Playful Seb is replaced with a protective and concerned Seb as he asks me that question, I only nod as I play with his hair lightly.

"Did someone say something to you?" he asks again, his tone turning the tiniest bit harder and I shake my head.

Taking a deep breath before opening my eyes and looking at him with a smile I hope he doesn't know is fake, "i'm fine, just missed you" I tell the half truth.

He scans my face and his eyes stop at my left cheek, "then where's your pretty dimple?" he asks.

He looks at me and kisses my forehead, "if someone said or did anything to you, I need you to tell me" he whispers and hugs me to his chest,

My eyes flutter shut when the side of my face rests against his chest, his hand against the back of my head and the other arm around my shoulders.

"I'll kill them for you" he says as if it would want to make me tell him, I snort and shake my head.

Wrapping my arms around my psychotic amant, "Paula was playing mind games with me" I tell him as I nuzzle my face into his chest trying to run from the cold.

I can feel his chest rise and drop from the sigh of annoyance he lets out, "she brought up the alliance, didn't she?" he asks and I freeze.

Pulling back a bit when he pushes off his blazer, "I rejected it, I told them I have a girl" he says and I smile, wrapping my arms around him again.

But he lightly pulls me back as he slides his blazer onto my shoulder, he nods for me to put my arms through and I do. His hands run around the top and push my hair out of the jacket before he kisses my temple.

"That if they proposed the alliance once more I'd break the current one we have" he says like he didn't just threaten a mafia war to break through.

When I don't speak he looks down at me, his annoyed and cold face disappearing into a small smile when our eyes meet.

"I'm all yours Abby, only yours."
