Chapter 6

*****Jax POV*****

"What about the boy?" Seth questions as the three of us sit in my office bored.

"Just keep him here until I figure out what I want to do with him." I shrug, not caring much for the boy who works in the cafe.

He was a potential witness to the shit we have on this phone so for the time being he was going nowhere!

"When did he say he would call you again?" Nico questions next, fixing his blonde hair in the wall mirror.

"Fifteen minutes ago!" I grumble back, hating that we were stuck waiting around on this stupid ass call. I just wanted it over with!

"The girl seems harmless really... we can't kill her... plus she's pretty hot!" Nico adds next, seeming satisfied with his appearance as he approaches the desk and slumps into one of the chairs.

"The dude can also make great fucking cakes... so I vote to keep him around too!" Nico adds another comment, as I lock eyes with Seth who also looks irritated.

"I don't plan on killing any of them any time soon! I'm going to use the bitch... I even checked and they don't have families or any baggage either... she's perfect for the job, and if he keeps her happy then so be it." I read over the last of my contract that lay on my desk, before deciding to rip the page into quarters.

Stupid fucking piece of paper...

On that note, the office phone begins to ring, earning an agitated eye roll from me as I answer it.

"You said two! It's nearly half past!" I rage, hearing a deep chuckle on the other end.

"Now son... let's calm down shall we... we have a wedding to plan!" My father states, the amusement clear in his tone as he speaks.

"No actually we don't, that's why I wanted to chat. I'm not marrying that bitch. I've already married another woman." I smirk in my chair, watching both Seth and Nico's brows knit together in confusion since I hadn't told them about my plan yet either.

The phone falls silent, as I allow for him to drink in the statement... the fucking pig that he is.

"YOU DID WHAT?!" I hear my father finally roar down the phone as I move the object back from my ear.

This prick created this whole mess in the first place!

"Yeah I married someone else... and she's quite the looker actually! I'm sure Eden and her family will find another suitor elsewhere... maybe someone age appropriate!" I trail off, enjoying having the upper hand for the first time in months.

"You cannot fucking do that! We have already arranged it with her father and I signed the fucking paperwork! This will only cause a fucking war Jaxon do you hear me?! Put a damn bullet in the girl you just married and stick to our fucking plan!" He rages back at me, with his sweat practically spilling through the phone.

"I have the strongest fucking empire in the states! Why would I let you bunch of fucks pressure me into marrying an old fucking hag?! I haven't signed fucking shit either so that sounds like you've fucked that one up for yourself not me!" I begin to lose my temper, remembering the whole intervention they had held only months ago to coheres me into marrying Eden for business purposes!

Eden was forty-two, married twice, known to be a fucking slut, and was the mafia princess of the Kings. Her father was Bruce King, once upon a time was the man on top of the country - especially New York - but that was all in the past.

He knew now that he needed me more than I needed him.

"Bruce is not a man to fuck over Jaxon!" My father warns, earning a scoff from me.

"Bruce is a fucking nobody! I can name five other organisations I would hesitate to piss off before considering Bruce! His daughter is a fucking whore and you expect me to tap that?! What about my future kids too huh? I can't continue my family name because the bitch is probably facing menopause! You can break the news to the Kings, that I'm already married." I state clearly, before slamming the phone down on the receiver.

I close my eyes briefly, allowing my chest to rise and fall with rage. I didn't care if it caused a war, I ain't sticking my cock anywhere near that dirty bitch! I could have any woman in the country and they expect me, at the age of 26, to wife a woman whose been mounted more times than a regular cyclists bike!

Eden was the opposite of who I imagined myself with when I decided to settle down. Not to mention that she speaks to me like Im a damn child (which I may as well be in this case) fucking creep that she is, begging her father to call and arrange a proposal after meeting me once at a party!

Why me?! Out of all of the upper class men she's fucked, why is she choosing to bother me?!

"Well congratulations bro..." Nico breaks the awkward silence, not knowing what to say about the conversation they had overheard.

"He ain't actually married yet you idiot!" Seth groans, as Nico looks between us not understanding fully what was going on.

"But you'll need to be... and soon..." Seth adds, as I lock eyes with him and nod.

"Thus bringing me to the girl I currently have locked down the hall..." I state, as Nicos eyes widen at the realisation of my plan.

"You're going to marry her? It might be too soon though no? You did also kidnap her... I mean I doubt she will say yes?" Nico laughs out, stating the fucking obvious.

"Well Nico... she won't have a fucking choice now will she?!" I stand from my office chair, as the two watch me - crumpling up the remains of mine and Edens marriage contract before throwing it in the trash.

"Are you doing a full wedding or?" Seth questions, as I shrug.

I didn't know the first thing about weddings and I didn't care. All I needed was to show her off as mine and for every rich man's daughter to back the fuck off!

"She wont actually be my wife. I'll just use her to cover my back. I can still do what I want and shit." I shrug, as they both nod in understanding.

"So what's the next steps? Your father will no doubt be flying here to knock some sense into you..." Nico adds, as I grin at the thought.

I fucking dare him to try it. Maybe that shit worked when I was a kid but I'll beat the old man into his death bed if he tries that shit on me again!

"I plan to go to Italy, marry her away from the chaos, and return in time to show her off at the Russo party, everybody important will be there and then everybody will know to back the fuck off after that!" I explain, nodding in approval with my own plan.

"When we leaving?" Seth asks simply, knowing I will be dragging them with me.

"Tonight." I flash a wicked grin, before heading towards the door.

Better go tell the hostages...
