LOVE AND SEX (the mafia’s slutty wife)

CHAPTER TWENTY TWO

Serena woke up feeling like an asshole, she was going to apologize to Damon for last night if she could find him. Apparently he had gone out while she had been asleep, no doubt her father had been caught and an interrogation already underway.

He had touched her in ways she could only dream of being touched and he had been offended by her obvious thoughts about him.

I mean wasn’t he the one who asked that a contract of consensual BDSM sex is drawn up between the both of them so how dare he act so offended by her analysis of him, Serena thought.

The day was looking to be on of fruitless Ed’s and boredom and so she decided to stop by her mother’s, at least there she would not have to worry about Damon and how she was going to apologize to him and she could keep her mother company also. She had absolutely no plans to inform her of the things she had heard during Damon’s meeting, no need to rile the woman up when Damon could actually let her father go if he spoke the absolute truth.

Serena made her way out but stopped when she saw a man standing at attention by the door to their house.

“You scared me, who the fuck are you?” Serena askedC0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“Greetings ma’am, my name is Santos, personal bodyguard to your husband.”

“Hello Santos, good morning to you too. If you are my husband’s personal guard then what are you doing here, scaring everyone to death.”

“Your husband, my boss left me with strict instructions to escort and protect you till all this is over.”

“Protect me? From who?” Serena asked confused.

“It is not my place to give you the details, just know that he asked me to escort you anywhere you would like to go today.”

“Thank you Santos but I really do not think that that is absolutely necessary you see, I am going to my mother’s and I don’t need you scaring her with your presence.”

“I shall remain in the car if that is your concern but I am under strict orders not to allow you anywhere without my company. In order not to further waste you time, I assure you that this is non negotiable.”

“Damn you! And your boss, I don’t need this heat up my ass.” Serena groaned but did not complain as Santos followed behind her and to the car, he insisted on driving which Serena had no problems with.

“Tell me Santos, how long have you been here working for my husband?”

“Since I was a child, we grew up together. My father was his father’s driver and when he died, he took me in and I have been with them ever since.”

“Really? That is a mighty nice thing of him to do.”

Santos grunted to show he agreed and they lapsed into silence with Serena twirling her fingers and considering this new information. Damon had never told her much about himself or his childhood, not like they had been doing much talking with them being barely able to get their hands off each other.

“What kind of man is your boss, Santos.”

“I do not think that I am in the best position to answer such question, ma’am.”

“You can relax, it’s just both of us and you can call me Serena. Calling me ma’am makes me seem very old, don’t you think?”

“I’m afraid that is one line I cannot cross.”

“Tell me, what kind of man is your boss.”

“Ruthless” Santos said simply.

Serena started at the way he had said such word and then went silent.

Was that all? Ruthless?

“Ruthless?” Serena probed.

“Yes ma’am, Damon is like a dragon that not only uses fire to destroy everything in its part but also it’s body size.”

“So your boss is destructive? To both people and things alike, that is a very scary comparison.”

“I cannot explain it for you to understand and if you do not mind that we continue the rest of the trip in silence.”

Serena sat back and closed her eyes, her mind running wildly.

Ruthless and takes no prisoners ehh, Serena thought.

It took few minutes to get to her mother’s place and true to his words, Santos remained in the car as she watched her go in, he was at a point where he could see everything that went on in the house and also things that went in and out without being seen.

“Mother!” Serena yelled raising her hand to hit the doorbell before it opened up on its own.

“What are you doing here?” Her mother asked in surprise

“I came to check up, see how you are doing. Is there a visitor? I could go back.”

“No, come on in. It’s just your sister Eloise and her boyfriend Jakes.” Her mother said holding the door wide open.

Serena hesitated, she did not want to see Jakes after everything that transpired down to Damon kissing her in the mall and then warning him to stay away from her like she was a child but she was here already so there was absolutely nothing she could do about meeting him.

She stepped into the house, her eyes meeting his from across the room. All Serena was expecting to feel was betrayal and hurt from all those years of being together with her when all he wanted was her sister not this sole feeling, pity.

She pitied him, standing there and rubbing his sweaty palms all over his pants, Damon would never…

Had she just compared him to Damon? Serena thought horrified.

“Serena, I heard what happened with your father and I want to say that he will be found no doubt.”

” I am sure, my husband Damon is already on top of the whole matter and I trust he would do a good job. Where is Eloise?”

“She is sleeping at the moment, we hardly slept a wink yesterday because of the stress on your mother.”

“So worry about that, I wasn’t expecting you here.”

“Yes me neither but when Eloise asked that I come over and help with some things, I could hardly refuse.

“That is really nice of you, thank you” Serena said.

He smiled that big toothy smile she had always liked about him but right now all Serena could see was how much he looked like a duck sitting across from her.

“You look really good” he blurted and the blushed.

“Thank you, you aren’t looking entirely bad yourself.”

Liar liar, pants on fire, her mind sang, he was looking horrible.

“Thank you… I have always wanted to talk about us, Serena”

“What about us?” Serena asked

“You know how we ended things was far from okay.”

“Let me stop you right there, Jakes. How we ended things? I vividly remember you ending things and disappearing from the surface of the earth.”

“I had no choice, I was totally in a rocky place and did not know how to tell you about everything.”

“It doesn’t matter, I am married and you are together with my sister.”

“You can’t have me believe you love your husband. I know how much you have always loved me and we could do things on a low without your sister or your husband finding out.” He whispered conspiratorially.

Serena wanted to laugh, how had she managed to date such lowlife.

“I love my husband and if you ever speak of such atrocity again, I would inform him. Are we clear?”

“Yes”

“Good, now if you would excuse me.”

Serena walked away, her heart lighter.

She was in love with Damon.
