Chapter 3:

  The first word Alexander Thunder had learnt to say was 'kill'. His father had been a great hunter of humans and he had taught him to do the exact same. The man had killed for fun.

When Jacob Thunder was sixteen, he had fallen in love with a beautiful blonde from London, the daughter of a senator and they eloped and got married in Texas, Jacob had a good eye.

Jacob Thunder had watched the love of his life being raped and killed at eighteen and each time he had retold the story to his son or anyone who had an ear to listen, he would always say he had felt himself lose all sense of humanity, something in him had been destroyed and broken that day and it wasn't just his heart.

He had swore right then and there to get so much wealth and power so he could seek revenge on those men for taking away what he loved most and he did but his thirst for blood had been too high to quench. He couldn't stop killing.

Some people found themselves addicted to alcohol, others chocolates, others were even addicted to drugs but Jacob Thunder was addicted to killing. He never fell in love again but that didn't stop him from sleeping with every woman who came his way, he was a good looking lad and he clearly knew it.

Jacob had taught Alexander to use a gun when he was only eight years old, and more weapons as he grew. He made his only son, Alexander Thunder a killing machine and that machine had killed him. Alexander Thunder killed Jacob Thunder. Why? Well because he needed to take his place as mafia god and business tycoon. Plus, he had nothing better to do that day.

Simply said, he was bored and he killed his father to kill time.

Alexander took over his father's assets at seventeen and has tripled it since then. The young mafia king wouldn't describe himself as bitter, he just had a lot against the man who constantly belittled him and made his mother's life shit.

Alexander watched his father push his mother to the brick of suicide and when she had killed herself, when Alexander was only ten Jacob had only said, she deserved it and well since he believed so much in people getting what they deserve, Alexander assumes his father had seen his own death coming for there was nothing he deserved more than death.

Money isn't an issue for Alexander, he has spent seventeen years of his life making billions and taking as many lives. It wasn't as exciting as books and movies made it, Alexander is bored. He is tired of making money, tired of taking lives, he is most tired of living.

He had had excitement once, it had gotten to his head so much he was ready to quit the mafia and give everything up. 

Young lad of twenty, Alexander met a beautiful brunette at college. Mafia king and college student, he most definitely made things work.

The girl was enchanting and a pure vixen. She oozed pure sex and she was pure sexuality. He got boners just staring at her. It had been easy for him to get her then, though he had thought it was because he oozed beauty and confidence too, what he didn't know was it was easy for every guy to get her, including old wrinkly lecturers.

They dated for four years, it was on the day of their college graduation, the memory stuck to Alexander's head that a tape. He had planned a romantic getaway in his private jet to France were he had planned to tell her everything about his job and quit if she wanted him to, just so he could give her a ring and make her his wife.

Alexander Thunder wanted Ashley Gomez to become Ashley Thunder.

Things didn't go as planned as he found the bitch's mouth wrapped around the Economics lecturer's dick in her dorm room on the day of her college graduation.

It had happened so fast, one moment he was smiling with a bouquet of red roses, the other he had the lifeless body of the Economics lecturer laying at his feet, his chest heaving dramatically.

He didn't hurt her. He had loved her too much to. She came multiple times to beg, professing something she knew nothing about, in fact she still hasn't stopped coming and it infuriated Alexander to no end.

The bitch doesn't know exactly what Alexander could do to her if she doesn't behave.

Alexander remembers the day he had wanted to propose to Ashley like it was just yesterday, though it was twelve years ago and he hadn't remembered being full of myself but he most definitely wasn't anxious.

Its exactly 8:00pm when Alexander arrived at the door step of Bella Rains, they had planned to meet up by eight and Alexander is always on time.

  The mafia king could feel his heart threatening to burst out of his ribcage and he didn't know why, its not like he was proposing, when he was he didn't feel so anxious, though deep down he knows the reason is because the two women are completely different. The former was a walking sex and this one is an angel.

  Taking in an exaggerated breath before knocking softly, Alexander sighs and takes a little step back standing not as close to the door. It doesn't take up to a minute before the door is pulled open, almost pulling it out of its hinges.

Familiar bright blue eyes eyes Alexander from top to bottom and a wide grin crawls on to Chloe's red lips.

"Damn girl! You were right, he is a Greek god"

"What the fuck? Shut up Chloe"

Alexander can't see her from where he stood but he could sense the anxiousness in her voice and he was relieved to know he was not the only anxious one.

Chloe giggles before pulling the door wide open to invite him in, he nods and walks in cautiously. Turns back to Chloe and hands her a box of chocolates.

Chloe squeals,

"Omg omg Summer he got me Hershey's. Thank you they are my favourite"

He nods impassively. While the blonde rushes towards where he assumes is the kitchen shoving chocolates down her throat.

Alexander had made thorough researches and he found out to get Bella you had to win over Chloe and he didn't mind. He hadn't dated in twelve years and he isn't known as the good guy but he is a total gentleman unlike his father.

Heels clicking pulls his attention towards the kitchen entrance were the most beautiful woman he has ever seen emerges from with a sweet smile. From her dark hair pulled into a messy ponytail to her beautiful tiny red dress, she looks utterly gorgeous.

"Woah"

Bella blushes, looking away slightly,

"You look absolutely gorgeous Flower"

Bella grins,

"Thank you. You don't look too bad yourself"

He smiles,

"Shall we?"

She takes his open arm,

"I like your smile"

Bella says kindly, Alexander's smile wipes off and he goes rigid. She stood shocked at the sudden mood change.

"Have fun guys, do what I wouldn't do and more"

Chloe screams excitedly making Bella jump slightly, then turn to glare at her friend

"Are you freaking insane?"

Chloe smiles sheepishly,

"Sorry"

Bella huffs and turns back to Alexander who watches the exchange with curiosity,

"I am sorry about that Xander. Shall we go now?"

*****

Alexander helps his date into his black sports car and slides in beside her and with a slight nod at the driver the car is revved to life.

"Hey Xander I am sorry if I offended you with what I said earlier"

Alexander's body runs cold, he coughs awkwardly,

"You didn't say anything wrong. I just felt you were teasing"

She frowns.

"Of course not! I meant it. I am sorry if I sounded mocking though"

He stares at her for a few seconds in adoration.

"You are so innocent"

She laughs softly.

"I wish I were"

He shrugs nonchalantly,

"To me you are and that's very enough for me"

She just gives him a sweet smile.

"So where are we going tonight Xander?"

She turns to him slightly, he shakes his head

"Not telling"

"Don't be cliché. Come on tell me"

He shakes his head again,

"No flower its a surprise"

She huffs dramatically and folds her arms in feign anger,

"Alright fine"

Alexander stared at her full pouted lips in awe,

"We are almost there flower"

"Oh whatever. If you are kidnapping me I know karate and jujitsu"

"Oh really? I know how to use all the weapons you can think of doll and I am a pro street fighter"

She huffs loudly,

"Oh please, are you in a gang or something?"

He shrugs, and rigidly leans back unto the cool seat of the car.

"Are we almost there?"

"No"

"And now?"

"no"

"how about now?"

"You asked a few seconds ago Bella, no"

"Are we there now?"

He sighs frustratedly, running his hand through his dark brown locks.

"When we get there Bella you will know."

She nods and settles in,

"I am just so anxious, I don't like surprises. Is it a restaurant? Aquarium? The beach? Give me a clue"

"Restaurant"

Her shoulders drop in disappointment,

"Oh"

He panics,

"What? You didn't want to go to a restaurant?"

She shrugs,

"No no its fine I don't mind"

"Flower the restaurant isn't the surprise, its what's in it"

She looks up at him with big brown eyes,

"Are you going to propose?"

He was taken aback, then he chuckles.

"No of course not. Don't be silly"

She sighs in relief,

"I am glad you don't sound too disappointed"

She laughs,

"Oh shut up, its too early to even think about that"

He nods.

"I agree."

"Sir we are here"

Alexander grins at Bella wiggling his brows and she throws her head back in a laugh,

"You are an idiot"

*****

"Well the restaurant is expensive, I'd have never dined here but why is it empty? Don't tell me..."

Alexander shrugs with his left arm, his right arm wrapped loosely around Bella's petite waist as they walk led by the waiter to their table,

"I reserved it for us"

"Shit! The whole place? Alexander!! A table is freakishly expensive and hard to get. Chloe has always wanted to come here"

She shakes her head,

"That's too much for a first date"

"I own the place Flower"

"Oh well that changes everything."

"Your table"

Everything is normal, the whole restaurant has a standoffish feeling to it. Almost dark and intense. Alexander pulls out a chair for Bella and takes a sit of his own.

"Its nice here"

Bella says giddily looking around in search of something, Alexander laughs,

"You want to know what your surprise is, don't you?"

She nods eagerly,

"Yes please"

"Well Bella..."

Alexander takes a stand,

"There is someone here that would like to meet you"

Bella squeals quietly in excitement and Alexander smiled in joy at putting a smile on her perfect face.

"Who? Who? Whoooo?"

Alexander looks behind Bella and she quickly turns towards the direction he is looking at. A woman walks towards them with a small smile, her blonde hair pulled in a high ponytail and her glasses sat on her nose. Bella's brows furrow before her brown eyes widen and she jumps off her chair.

"Jesus! Jesus Christ! Is that? Omg!"

Alexander wraps his arms around her to keep her from falling over, she looks up at him with glossy eyes

"How did you know?"

"I asked around"

"Hello Bella rains"

The older woman says with a grin,

"Oh my God hi Mrs Rowling"

J.K Rowling grins at her,

"Its a pleasure to meet you. Omg I love your books"

Bella could hardly breath as she spoke. Rowling hands the young woman a small bag, Bella opens it and gasps loudly, attempting to hand the bag back to her

"No, this is too much"

Alexander holds her arms,

"Flower I got them for you and I got them all signed by her"

"I think I am gonna pass out"

Alexander and the older woman shares glances with a suppressed smile.

"I'd advice you don't, this isn't then end of the evening"

"Its a pleasure to meet you Mrs Rowling, so much pleasure"

Rowling laughs,

"It wouldn't have been possible without your boyfriend. Such a sweetheart"

Bella looks up at Alexander with a watery smile

"Thank you"

She gives him a slight kiss on the cheek. Alexander is so excited she didn't dispute the boyfriend part the woman had said.

"Anytime Flower"
