《Deceptive Love》30

"So, you're telling me that the Russians are after you?", my father asked after i explained the whole situation to him and my brother. Thankfully, Irina left saying she has to go shopping.
"Yes." I sighed, "They know who i am, they know i am poison."
"Mr Carrington," Enzo spoke earning my dad's attention who gave him a curt nod, gesturing him to talk, "I think it would be safer if Jade stays with me for the time being considering my mafia is the biggest and more powerful." He suggested as i raised a questioning eyebrow at him before scoffing. "And you're suppose to what? Protect me?"
Enzo decided to ignore my question, "The Russians are not stupid. They will not attack my mafia, they'll lose. But you on the other hand, they have a chance to win. They know Jade is your daughter, she's a liability."
Blake started rubbing his temple and sighed tiredly. "Why did you have to get into so much trouble, little sis?" He shook his head with a chuckle before turning to dad, "Lorenzo is right though. There is no doubt we will lose if the Russians attack us. They will surely use Jade against us."
My dad thought for a while before letting out a heavy sigh. "As much as i hate to admit it, you're right."
My eyes widened as i look between my dad, Blake and Enzo. I quickly shook my head, "I can protect myself." I stated with an eye roll.
Enzo scoffed before saying, "Of course you can protect yourself, i never said you can't but—", He started, "Being in my house which is guarded by at least a hundred guards is safer and besides, stop acting like you hate it." He winked at me before coming closer and whispered, "Think of all those alone times we'll get to spend together."
I glared at him as i felt my father and brother burning holes into my head with their stares. How could he say something like that infront of my family? I knew they heard him, he whispered it loud enough.
Enzo smirked at me as i continued to glare at him. "I know you fancy me." He mouthed to me. I shook my head before mouthing back "In your dreams." He was trying to hold back a smile but was obviously, failing.

"So," Blake cleared his throat, pointing to me and Enzo, "Are you two like.... Together?"
"What?" I scoffed, "No."
"Not yet." Enzo murmured under his breath like he always does when he says 'Not yet.'
"Did you say something?" Dad asked, his gaze now fixed on Enzo who immediately shook his head, "Nope."
He nodded before turning his gaze on me "Anyways, Jade," i looked at him, urging him to continue, "Go pack your stuffs. You'll leave with Enzo."
Knowing it was the right and safest thing to do at the moment, not to mention i would start an argument i would not win if i refuse, i just nodded and made my way to my room to start packing my clothes and necessities.
I was standing infront of my weapons, thinking whether i should bring them when someone said, "You don't have to bring them. I have a room full of weapons."
I turned to look at the culprit who was leaning against the door with his arms crossed. Enzo smirked at me as he entered my room. "Are you done?"
"Yup, why don't you make yourself useful and carry the suitcase downstairs?", I gestured to my suitcase on the bed with an innocent smile on my face.
"That's what im here for," he smirked before making his way to my bed, grabbing my suitcase, "Well come on, don't just stand there. Let's go."
I rolled my eyes and followed him downstairs where i was met with my dad along with Blake who brought me into a hug. "Take care of yourself."
"Take care of yourselves too." I smiled at them before turning to Blake, "Im so sorry for having to leave you alone with the witch, Irina."
He groaned and said "I forgot about that one." I chuckled before saying, "No but seriously, call me if there's any sort of problem."
"Will do," Blake smiled at me and turned to Lorenzo, "And you, you better take care of my sister."
"Of course, i will." He winked at me as Blake looked at us weirdly but decided not to say anything. We waved my dad and brother goodbye and went inside his car.

"Where did Nick, Hunter, Liam and Seth go?", I questioned looking at the empty backseat with a raised eyebrow.
"They had to go deal with something back at the main house. They had someone bring a different car for them."
"Does your parents know im coming?", I asked as he started driving. "Yup."
"They won't mind, right?", I asked.
"Nah," he shook his head and looked at me, "My dad was the one who suggested that it is safer for you to come live with us until the Russians are taken care of." I smiled at him and the thought of how his family cares about me— someone they only met a few weeks ago.
After that, no other words were exchanged. We arrived at his house within a few minutes.
He carried my suitcase inside, i told him i would do it but he said he did not want me to tire myself.
Im kidding. That did not happen. But he did carry my suitcase inside only to leave it infront of the door for a woman in a maid uniform to come and take it. She smiled at me and said, "I will take this to your room. Lorenzo said he will show you your room himself after you have dinner with him."
"I could have told her that myself, Im literally right here, Crystal." Enzo shook his head with a chuckle as the woman whose name is Crystal just smiled at him. "Go have dinner." Enzo nodded and gestured me to follow him in the kitchen where the delicious scent of food was coming from. I didn't eat anything since lunch at school today, i can eat anything right now. Anything.
"Here," Enzo passed me a plate filled with Mac and Cheese. My fucking favourite. "Thank you."
We both sat and eat in silence until my phone started ringing. Not bothering to look at the caller Id, i just answered. "Hello?"
"Oh my—", A familiar voice breathed out, "Finally you answered your phone."
"Nick, to what do i owe this phone call?" I asked, Enzo's gaze was fixed on me.
"Is Lorenzo with you?"
"Yes," i looked at Enzo who raised an eyebrow, "Why?"
"Put me on speaker."
"You're on speaker, talk." I said as i placed my phone on the table.
"Hey, Enzo." You did not have to see Nick right now to know that he was smirking when he said that.
"What do you want?" Enzo groaned
"You know, while you were too busy fucking my new best friend, Jade, Your bestfriend, which is obviously, Me, Found some interesting things about our Russian friends."
"We were not fucking." I rolled my eyes as Enzo just smirked before mouthing, "Not yet" to me, making me roll my eyes again.
"Would you, if it's not too much to ask of you, please get your asses to the main house as soon as you can?"
"We'll be there in some minutes." Enzo said receiving an 'Okay' from Nick before he ended the phone call. Once we were done eating, i washed both of our plates despite Enzo telling me Crystal will do it.
"Come, i will show you your room." I nodded, following him upstairs and stopped when he stopped infront of room.
"Go on." He gestured to the door. I opened it and god, was it beautiful. It was bigger than my room in my house but not that im complaining. It was perfect with it's own bathroom.
"Do you like it?" He asked, entering the room and closed the door behind him.
"Yes, i like it." I raised an eyebrow at the closed door, "Why did you close the door?"
He smirked, taking a step closer to me which made me take a step back. This process repeated itself until my back hit the wall. He placed his arms on the either side of me, stared at my lips then turned his gaze back to my eyes. "You have no idea how long i wanted to do this." He said huskily before slamming his lips on mine.
