Done with the school Janet took me to her house to meet her dad. I was greeted by her mom who welcomed me with a hug and kisses. I smiled. I head directly to Cassius Regulus, Janet's dad. He welcomed me with his usual warm smile. I used to hang out here back then but now it's difficult due to all the war going on.
"Hello, Jade. Visit us often, I miss your stays here." He said.
"Grandpa had gotten overprotective due to the situation during past years. It's hard to leave the house." I replied honestly.
"He cares too much for you. But I think you can take care of yourself."
"Thanks, uncle. Today I came here for business."
He looks amused and interested. He nods telling me to go on. I think he already knows about the recent development. Janet must have told him.
"I planned to get us strong enough so we can stand against Elite families. I need your support." I said.
"What I can do for you?"
"Ally with me, I will make you strong again. No one will be harming you in the future."
"Do you have a plan?"
"Yes, I already took care of people destroying the territory. Allying with you is the next step."
He shook his head. There is a doubt clouding his vision. I will get rid of it.
"I have nothing to offer. Regulus is already ruined." He said.
"No uncle. You have enough things to offer. First is your loyalty and second is the help you can provide." I try to pursue him.
He signed. He looked out lost in his thoughts. His eyebrow furrowed and his fingers tapping the table. I waited for him. Maybe I should explain the plan I made maybe it will pursue him. Out of all the people, he is the only one who will try to understand me.
"We are already on the edge of destruction so why not try our best I promise you results will be positive," I said trying for one last time. He glances back at me.
"Alright, let's work together."
I sighed out in relief. We shook our hands and signed a contract for us. After giving me one of the documents he smiled at me losing his leader composers.
"I need you to contact the capos you trust and the one whose territory is ruined. Pursue them. And take Janet with you I had explained to her the things that need to be done."
"Alright, I will do as you say."
"Then uncle goodbye I have to handle the rest of the things."
"Good luck. I will be waiting to see your results."
I left his office. Janet is already waiting for me. With a grin, she wrapped her arms around my shoulder and we walked out.
"Did it work?" She asked.
"Yes, you will be going with him for work. All you need to do is to make a contract with them that benefits both families and get them to ally with us. Report me everything." I explained to her.
"I will be able to do it but what if they don't agree?"
I smirked at her and whispered.
"Then we will use force. Either way, I will be completing the task."
"You are boss babe. Don't worry I will try my best and the result will be in our favor."
"I expect nothing less. Then I will see you tomorrow."
"Bye."
With a wave, I walked out taking the bus. Getting back at the territory I got a text from Deo telling me to meet him at the given location. We exchanged numbers last night which I am grateful to do. I head towards the location.
After a few minutes, I reached a mini cafe. I found Deo sitting outside alone with two drinks in his hands. I approached him. This is the first time I have seen him in the day. We only met at the night. He is gorgeous and my type. Focus on Jade slaughter.
"Hello, Love." I greeted him.
"Hi, I got a drink for you. I hope you like it." He said handing me one.
"You know it's my favorite." surprise.
"Good, I didn't know what to get for you."
"So any news? You called me out of the blue." I asked.
He rested his face on his arm. I try to focus on his face rather than his muscles. I sure had seen muscular men but this man is different. He seems like a man for whom women fall for him at first sight. Does he have a girlfriend?
"Just wanted to hang out with you," Deo muttered under his breath.
"Is that so? You didn't look like the type of guy who hangs out with friends." I pointed out my observation. He tilts his head.
"You are not wrong. I wanted to ask you if the only reason you want to do this thing is to prove yourself or if there is something more to the story."
Is he smart or he can read me like a book? There is one more but never mind.
"My grandpa arranged a marriage for me so instead I asked him to give me some time to prove myself. Honestly, I hate mafia men, they aren't trustworthy and brainless and psychotic. They don't respect women and they are scum, I would rather die than marry them." I confessed.
Deo's expression didn't change. His face was blank but he understood my point I guess. There is no judgment on his face.
"You do have a valid reason. You will look good as a leader rather than someone's wife," said Deo.
"That's my boy. I think we will be the best friends."
He leaned forward on the table while staring at my eyes. A soft smile on his lips made me lost in him. He felt like mine. I grin at him.
"I like that idea," Deo whispered. Thank god.
"By the way since we are here, I want you to get rid of enemies from Regulus territory. I will send you the location as soon as possible."
"Alright, give me a week, it will be done."
"Thanks."
After finishing our drinks we took a lazy stroll around the area checking the perimeters. I don't know what to think of my new friend, time will tell.
