Chereads / Ruin of the Elites / Chapter 18 - EIGHTEEN

Chapter 18 - EIGHTEEN

The man didn't move at all, he was visibly sweating. I grin at him. Taking his phone I called Deo.

 

"Who?" He asked in a gruff voice.

 

"Jade. Find the location of this phone and find me." I said.

 

"What happened and whose phone is it?" He asked concerned.

 

"We got kidnapped. Things are under my control for now so come soon. I am not sure where we are."

 

"Alright, I will be there soon. Jade be safe." He said softly.

 

"I will be safe," I assured him.

 

Cutting off the call I focused on the man in front of me. I grabbed his hair and pressed the tip of the knife on his throat.

 

"Now tell me who ordered you to kidnap Seraphina?" I questioned.

 

"I don't know. I got money and I am doing my job."

 

"Who was it?"

 

"Someone from an assassin guild."

 

"Anything else you know?"

 

"Nothing I swear."

 

I pressed it again into his throat. He gulped.

 

"Your life is in my hands and believe me you aren't the first person I will kill." I threatened him.

 

"That's all I know. I was told that I would get further orders once I get the girl."

 

His phone rang making me stop. Picking it up I remove his blinds nodding at the phone.

 

"Hello." He said.

 

"Did you get the girl?" The person on the other side asked.

 

"Yes, sir. What will be the next step?"

 

"Send me your location, my men will pick her up and you will get your money."

 

The man cut off the call. Finally getting something important. Once I get rid of this people Seraphina will be safe. We heard the knock on the door.

 

"Boss, everything is alright?" His guard asked.

 

I opened the door letting the man in, before he realized what was going on I stabbed his neck locking the door behind me. Good job. I approached the leader again. Now how should I kill him?

 

"Tell me what kind of death you prefer?" I asked him with a smile. His face paled.

 

"Don't do this." He pleads.

 

"How about you tried to kidnap a girl and almost sleep with a minor?"

 

"I didn't even touch that kid." He protests.

 

"Nevermind. I want an answer."

 

Before he can say anything else the door of the room breaks causing me to flinch. I calm down instantly finding Deo's warm eyes. He took long strides towards me and pulled me into a hug. His arms tighten around me. A smile spread on my lips, I hugged him back. He pulled out checking me from head to toe.

 

"Are you hurt?" He asked.

 

"I am fine. Did you find Seraphina?"

 

"Yes, she is unharmed."

 

Deo pressed a kiss on my forehead and set his glare on the guy I tied. The man flinched under his gaze and his whole body started shaking.

 

"Did you touch her?" Deo asked him in a very low and dangerous tone.

 

"I am sorry. I didn't know she was your woman."

 

My eyes widen. His woman? Deo didn't correct him.

 

"Did you touch her?" Deo asked again.

 

"I am so sorry I didn't know."

 

Deo chuckled with no humor in his tone while pressing me to his side. I had never seen him this mad. I place my palm on his chest trying to calm him down which of course worked. He glanced down at me softly.

 

"Let's go. Seraphina must be shocked." I said.

 

"Alright." He said. Deo glanced back at his men and nodded. We walked out and I found cars waiting for us. Deo's man bows down with greetings. He opens the door for me. I informed him about the information I got, and he nodded assuring me that he taking care of it. climbing in I waited for Deo. Seraphina is in the back seat but she is asleep. With a sigh, I rested my head on the window. Deo came after a while. He drove us back home.

 

Seraphina is up. Getting out of the car she wrapped her arms around me squeezing me.

 

"I am so sorry. I got you in trouble." She said.

 

"It wasn't your fault princess don't think about it," I assure her.

 

She nods. Once we got back in Deo prepared a warm bath for both of us and started preparing dinner. Cleaning myself up I sat at the dining table waiting for Seraphina to show up. We didn't say anything and finished the dinner. Too tired I went back to bed. My eyes blankly stare out of the window. I felt the moments and the bed dip beside me. His warm hand massaged my head.

 

"Are you okay Jade?" Deo question.

 

"Deo, don't worry nothing bad happened I promise. I am just a bit tired with all these things going on." I said softly.

 

"How can I make it better for you?"

 

I glance up at him and a smile spreads on my lips.

 

"Hug me. A nice one." I said. Deo smiled preparing his arms for me.

 

I didn't think he would agree. Getting up I straddle him pressing my face on his wide shoulder. I can feel his cologne, he smells nice. My arms lazily rested on his waist. Deo shook my head while his other arm wrapped around my waist.

 

Realizing the position I bit my lips. Looks like my life with non existed boyfriend is hitting me. At least Deo didn't comment on it.

 

"I am sorry you have to deal with me," I told him.

 

"I am happy to do anything for you." He whispered.

 

"Anything?"

 

"Yes."

 

"You already proved it I don't even doubt it."

 

Silence fell over us. I dozed off in his arms. When I woke up I found myself tucked in the bed. Looks like Deo left. Still half asleep I got up heading straight towards the bathroom.

 

I heard the shower on but I was late to realize Deo was in the shower and I walked in. My gaze lands on Deo's back, his muscles flexing when he moves his arms. Water trailed down on his back and I tried not to look further down. Deo probably sensed it too and glanced back at me. I quickly turned around biting my lips.

 

"I am sorry Deo. I didn't know you were in the bathroom and I was half asleep." I rambled.

 

He didn't say anything and I heard him shuffling. Taking a deep breath I tried to run away and hide in embarrassment but Deo's hand wrapped around my waist stopping me midway.

 

"Deo?" I said softly.

 

"Turn around." He said huskily. I gulped remembering the view I got. His voice made me feel weird.

 

When I didn't move Deo turned me around pinning me on the door. I try hard not to stare at his chest. Unfortunately, he had wrapped a towel around his waist. He noticed my gaze and smirked.

 

"It was not my intention," I said.

 

"Sure, My goddess." He smiled at me.

 

"I am serious Deo."

 

"I didn't say you aren't."

 

"My love let's forget this incident. I am already embarrassed."

 

"Not that easily. You saw me naked." Deo teased.

 

"I saw nothing else then than back." I protest.

 

He chuckles letting go of my hands. He wrapped his arms around me squeezing me softly. His head rested on top of mine. Tall people. I rolled my eyes.

 

"I don't like seeing you getting in a dangerous situation. But I am glad you can handle things in your style." He praised me.

 

"Tell me I am a genius," I said.

 

"Yes. But you are still human so remember if you need someone then come to me please."

 

"Deo you are the first person I call in case of such situations."

 

I glanced at his chest for the last time and ran back to the room. Suddenly I am feeling hot but in a good way. My smile never left my lips. Deo Cam came dressed in his usual clothes. His smirk caught my attention. He is going to tease me forever.

 

I groan burying my face in the palm of my hands.

 

"It will be fair if I can see you too." Deo teased me again.

 

"Deo please," I grumble. The previous incident came to my mind making me feel hot again.

 

I sat in the bathtub for half an hour before deciding to go out. Seraphina was watching television so I made my way I the kitchen after making sure she was right. Deo is already waiting for me.

 

"Good morning love," I said taking a seat.

 

"Good morning again." He said making me glance up at him.

 

"Nah, don't start again."

 

"Why not? Seeing a Capo flustered is quite a thing."

 

I didn't miss his amusement. I stood up making Deo pause. I am not offended but if he thinks he can tease me nonstop, then he is wrong. I stepped near him our chest touching. Deo stiffened.

 

"Okay fine, then I liked it. You look pretty while naked." I said with a smile.

 

"Jade, I am sorry if I crossed the line," Deo said softly.

 

"It's fine. Maybe you should show me again." I winked at him. Deo stared at me with wide eyes. This is the first time I have seen him surprised. Instead of being flustered, he leaned down toward me our faces inches away.

 

"As you wish, Jade." He whispered. Oh my god. He is doing it again and he succeeds. Looking at his face he knows it too.

 

"Show what?" Janet questioned glancing at us.
