[M] Strictly Business (1/1)
Trigger- this chapter contains dramatic violence. Please read at your discretion. ■Kris's POV■ This wasn't a trip of pleasure. This was business. Pure and Simple! my father's Empire was expanding, new shipment arrives in Montreal and he couldn't make it to the exchange so I was going in his place, this was where I was supposed to be, on the front lines. Not messing around in the front business ,being in charge was my calling. Before now I was bored. I was becoming soft, she starting to get under my skin. I thought about her more than I should've. The exchange was at 6PM tonight at the west Montreal gates. 60 million US dollars would be handed over from the Lim family, one of our oldest partners in exchange fora mare 1000 dollars from our sideWe had four hours to kill so I decided to treat Nora to an hour of shopping. Lord knows she needed clothing, who knew toys were so expensive.
Nora bounced around happily like an excited puppy when our stewardess announced we had arrived at the international Montreal airport. I never seen her smile so genuinely, I was almost jealous. She never smiled that way for me.The moment we stepped out of the jet, Nora says she wants to go home but I remind her business comes first. Her face fell a little bit but she agreed and slipped her hand in mine. I felt bad, I had no intention on letting her go home. She was mine.I booked us a presidential suite at a local 5star luxury hotel. We only had time to drop off our belongings, we had a appointment to keep with the hair dresser. I had asked the stylist to straighten her hair. Don't get me wrong I love her curly brown hair but today was serious. The less unrecognizable she was the better. I on the other hand was in great need of a haircut, this blonde shit would do me bo good. No one was going to take me seriously with this hair. it didn't take long for my hair to get cut short and dyed back to its original color. Nora was still being waited on. Impatient I rush to her side of the salon, throwing aside the black curtain that separated us. She had just slid out of the chair, taking off the cape from her shoulders. When she saw me she smiled happily at me. Her once light brown hair was now shiny black and hung at her shoulders. My mouth went dry. She looked so..sexy.
"How do I look?" She asked.
Not wanting to say anything stupid I take her hat from her hands and put it back on her head. Messing up her hair. "You look nice" I tell her; but she looked disappointed. There was no way I was telling her looked sexy. She'll think I've gone mad.
killing time was hard how's your shopping and lunch we ran into things to do, we had an hour left. Nora sat boredly on the couch flipping through the latest fashion magazine. I felt a little bad I was sure she was anxious and excited to be in her home country after all these years, she probably wants to go home. But I can't let her do that...at least not yet. I can't explain why but the idea of her going home, even for a few hours made me a little angry I look back up at Nora was still reading her magazine, I wish to look less.. ungrateful.
"Nora! " I call her to bring her attention to me. Curious and even annoyed she looks up at me "Want to go some where?" I ask her. A smile, soft and small graces her face as she says yes. A brief pang in my heart blind sides me as I watch excitement and delight fill her eyes for a moment. Wow. I try to cover my awkward staring by sneering at her and leaving the room.
What the hell is my problem, she's not that pretty.we ended up taking a walk in a small park near our hotel, her hand in mine as we strolled in silence.I started to regret bringing her along with me. I couldn't concentrate properly on my job. nothing good could come from this. Just when I started thinking negatively an idea popped into my mind, I had to send her back, tonight! she'll probably hate me for this but safety and my impending job is all i cared about.
I take her to a gelato cafe on our way back, I break the news to Nora. As expected she's not happy, she yells and practically slaps me, but it didn't matter. My father was counting me and the drop was in a half hour. I couldn't screw this up, this was my chance to prove myself.Back in our hotel, my driver calls me down. This was it. Attempting to calm myself I down my drink and exhale. "Show time" I mutter to myself.I recheck my black leather gun holster strapped to the side of my chest, making sure it was tight enough to be discreetly concealed and was accessible. You never know who loyal and who's your real enemy.
"Bye Nora" I shout as I prepare to leave out. Just I begin to step out into the hall way I hear the door of our room open. "Take me with you" she says.
"I can't. Stay" I comand.
"I'm not you goddamn dog kris! Take me with you" she emerges from the room. I didn't have time for this. I tell her no again and slam the door shut.Now wasn't the time for fights. This was business. The rain had been harsh on the drive to bayside gate. I arrived on time, just to be careful my bodyguard and I sat and watched as a black limousine and a red sports car pulled up into the empty parking lot.
So much for being discreet.Without even warning my bodyguard I step out the car, anxious to get this over and done. Walking right into a barrel of a gun. "Step back" a voices with a thick Cantonese accent says in English. "Hands on your head". I hear a safety being clicked off, from the corner of my eye I see another gun pointed at me. 'Are you armed?" A new voice asks me. I nod, the voice tells me to disarm myself and I do. "Tell your guard to give me the money and I'll let you go".
Slowly I knock on the car door signaling my bodyguard to come out. He appears and studies the situation. Unaware of what he was doing I hear "Ah ah, hand over the noney and the kid won't get hurt". I hear something skid against the concrete. The guns vanish and I allowed to stand up. "You, On a count to 10 to get in your car and get the fuck out of here." Spotting my gun I grab for it and walk away.1...2...3...4...5...6...7..
feeling humiliated I feel my jaw clench up...8..9 before I could understand or even think about it. I turn and pull the trigger twice. "10" I Finnish his counting. He and his accomplice lay bleeding out on the wet concrete. Fuck! Shit! I killed them. What the fuck did I just do. I knew once my father found out I would be fucked. Tearing at my hair I rock in the back seat. "Driver take me to the hotel Now. We can't stay here. We leave at 4 am! Jet ready at 3." I babble uncontrollably. But no one dares to tell me no, not after what just went down. I needed Nora and I needed her NOW! I waste no time rushing into the hotel, instead of waiting for the elevator I run up the 15 flights of stairs. I kick open the door of our room and rush to her. "Nora!' I shout. "Nora! "
panicking I get louder, until I see her stepping out of the bathroom, wrapped in a black towel. I immediately wrap my arms around her waist pulling her as close as I could to my body. "What's wrong? " She asks. Ignoring her I tip her chin up and kiss her damp lips. "Nora" my voice chocked when I released her. I sit back on our messy bed, hands pulling at my newly dyed black hair. "Are you okay?" She asks. I ignore her, I replay what I've done. "FUCKkK!" I fall back pulling her on top of me. "Nora. ..I killed them" I finally confess. Shocked she moves to my side. "You What? " she shouts. No words could describe her expression. "I don't know why I did. They were letting me go. I could of died" I babble again. She says nothing, she just listens as I tell her everything that happened in that parking lot. "Kris" she whispers.
I look over at her to see her hovering over me; undoing her towel. "What are you-" she shushes me and says "No more talking".She climbs on top of me, kissing my neck, and unbuttons my shirt. I gasp and moan as she works on me. Maybe it was the shock of my crime or just her being supportive made everything feel intense and other worldly. When she brought me to point of no return I felt a rush of new found ecstasy. "Fuck, Nora that was amazing" I panted as she rolled of me. She smiles and kisses my sweaty forehead but says nothing. "I love you" I say without thinking. Her eyes widen, I smirk and pull her closer. "Nora" I whispered as I began to drift off to sleep.If I knew that I'd wake up the next day alone I would've said more. ◇◆◆◆◆◆◇ Authors note- I wanted to try something different, try some action and go into how deep Kris was in. I hope you liked it; Nora will continue to narrate the story. Give me some feed back in the comments. More love and happy Monday.☆★☆
