We walk towards Sydney's office until I find a woman with a black hair but with some curly brown highlights towards the end kissing a blonde haired man.
They hear us approach and stop then look towards us.
The Italian bitch Amelia and her husband Larry I think.
All I know he's Isabella's best friend but rarely has anything to do with the Mafia.
I look behind me to see Jayden looking at them as I can imagine what he's thinking.
'They are also part of the mafia?'. It's not like we come with a label on our foreheads that say 'hey, I'm part of the mafia kill me'.
We all have the same tattoo on either our shoulder blades or biceps. Mine is on my shoulder blade.
I pass them but the Italian stops me. "Why is he here? You can't bring outsiders and you know that." She says and I scoff.
"Hi. I'm Jayden. I'm helping Jada." Jayden says standing in front of them and I roll my eyes.
"I'm Amelia and this is my husband Harry." She says as Harry kisses the back of her hand. I roll my eyes again.
"Jayden, we're not here for introductions move on or go home." I say and turn towards Sydney's office.
I knock as I hear a baby crying inside. I twist the handle and get in to find Sydney Kings cooing at a two year old baby as the other two kids are no where to be seen.
He places a finger on his lips gesturing for me not make a sound as he walks towards the room singing a lullaby.
That's America's mafia king people!
Jayden gets in a minute later and walks towards me.
"That couple is so cool and seem to be into some kink." I pretend not to listen to what he says because I don't care.
We sit in silence as Sydney sings for about five minutes before he stops and emerges a minute later but stops when he sees Jayden then raises an eyebrow towards me.
"He's my assistant." I say and hear Jayden scoff but says nothing.
"Sorry I have the kids today. Isabella and her mother travelled to florida for her uncle's wedding preparations."
He says and I just nod until I remember the uncle he's talking about.
"The PI? Jason Styles?" I ask and he nods.
"I know him. He worked for my mother to find Linda a year ago together with this dude, Anthony." Jayden says beside me and Sydney nods with a small smile.
"Yeah. In fact it's their wedding." He says as he opens a folder before turning to Jayden and gestures for me to follow him.
"Why did you bring him here? Again?" He asks immediately we step away.
"He's helping me. It was his nephew after all and he wants revenge." I answer.
"Do you know what you're doing? Getting him involved? Does he know about what we do here?"
He asks and I nod cautiously. He lets out a breath. "You know what this means for him right? And for you? He'll be under your care until we can trust him.
You can't go around telling people about us and you know that Candice." He says his voice calm.
"I understand boss. He's the first and last and trust me, I'll watch over him until you say so." I say sincerely.
"He'll have to sign the contract. And I can't let you go. You broke a law and you must be punished Candice Martins." He says his voice serious.
"I'm ready boss. I'll accept your punishment." I say looking down in submission. I already knew this would happen.
We walk back to where Jayden is and I sit on my previous chair. Next to Jayden and Sydney sits in his looking coldly at Jayden.
"You know about us." He states making Jayden look at him with wide eyes. "I'm not sure if you know the consequences to that but one thing I can tell you is that with that piece of information, your life just changed.
Tomorrow morning you'll come back here at exactly ten a.m and sign some papers ensuring your silence.
No one should know about us through you because we will know if anything of the sort happens."
Sydney says looking into his eyes and I can see Jayden trying to seem strong. Unshaken and I inwardly smile.
Sydney Kings is one of the coldest men I know when he wants to. No, scratch that. Sydney Kings is the coldest and most feared man I know when he wants to.
I mean, look at him when he's with Isabella or his three babies. He seems the sweetest and most lovable man. To me, he's friendly just as he's to Isa's friend La... Harry.
Seeing Jayden not cower makes me so proud of him. The look Sydney has now, scares me too but I know it's not projected to me... yet. I did tell Jayden about us after all.
"Your calls, emails and whereabouts will be managed from now on by Jada. You'll write down your information here. Real information." He says handing a sheet of paper to Jayden.
Jayden takes it and reads it then asks for a pen. He's not even shaking or scared? He looks at me for about two seconds before writing the needed information down then hands it to Sydney Kings minutes later.
"Good. You're now under Candice's care until I decide you are trustworthy enough." He says placing the paper in a cabinet. "Don't forget going against us is putting yourself and your family in danger." He says.
"I understand Mr Kings." Jayden says in a strong voice making my boss nod his head.
"Now about your case Candice." Sydney says opening another folder.
"We've found the spiders' hangout." He announces and I glance at Jayden. Is that what he wanted to tell me? The information he had? "Its below 'The Ultimate Club' but you need to have their trust in order to go with them.
The best way is seduction and I'm positive you're familiar with that."
He says handing me the folder. "Renna and Mia will go with you and maybe some two men to accompany you." He says.
Renna and Mia are twins who always do missions together.
Last time I saw them was when we had to pretend to be catholic sisters to save Isabella and her mother from the Italians and Sydney's brother, Liam.
They were great so I won't mind working with them.
"Linda DJs there sometimes. On the weekends." Jayden says and I smile. Sydney picks up his phone and calls someone but disconnects the call minutes later.
"Mia and Renna have a shipment to take care of as from next week till the end of the month and I can only trust them with that." He says tapping his pen.
"I know someone but I'll have to talk to her. She's cut out for this." He says and I nod. Jayden and I get up and walk out of Sydney's office minutes later.
"It's almost eleven p.m." Jayden states but I don't say anything. "I never knew this was so... intense." He says and I glance at him for a second.
"You wanted to know. Guess curiosity really did kill the cat." I say.
"Yeah. But now I want more. I'm curious to know why they call you different names or why you seem like this cold badass but at the same time you have this soft spot for kids." He says looking into my eyes and I smirk.
"Eager to know about me Mr Williams?" I ask teasingly but I'm serious. "Sorry. But I can't tell you anything about me."
I say my voice low as I stand infront of him. Chest to chest. He snakes an arm around my waist bringing me closer and bends to my ear.
"Then I'll find out by myself.
One thing at time until I'll figure your mysterious sexy ass out." He promises tracing his lips from my ear to my cheeks and stops to my lips.
I take out my tongue wetting my lips doing the same to his in the process. A loud horn breaks our trance and we both look at an amused Sydney Kings.
"I have kids on board."
He says with a smirk then speeds away. Jayden pulls away his hand and I move back.
"Can I crash with you?" Jayden asks his husky voice gone and I look at him my eyebrow up.
"I had an argument with mother and I told her that I'll move out and I didn't have time to search for a place." He says scratching the back of his head. "Home isn't home anymore." He adds.
"How long then?" I ask and he shrugs.
"How about until when I find a place?" He asks. My apartment has a spare room that I had planned to make Ryan's.
"Fine. I'm you're guardian after all." I say and he smirks as I climb on my bike.
