Chapter 8 - chapter 8

Power

That was my life ambition. I wanted to rule the Montgomery mafia. I wanted to rule over everything .

There was a hole in my heart that needed filling and I had just told myself to shut the world out and do what I wanted .

After my father died I knew that I wanted to make the old man proud . Just because he didn't get a boy as an heir did not mean that his legacy was to be in vain . I promised my self that I was gonna be strong and be the best version of myself.

That meant I had to seclude my self from the rest of the world and try to find my way in the underworld.

When I was unmarried,since me and Jaden were best friends, we use to hang out all the time with his friends who were considered mine too .

Jaden had a sweet personality and it was not hard for him to make friends but me . I never knew why I did not have friends . Kids in my class respected me while they gossiped about me on my back and it didn't bother at all .

"She has the worst attitude ever and her eyes are so cold…she scares me", I'd hear the weaklings say . That's what weak people say . They always find excuses for their failures and downfalls. I never disliked anybody but it took quite a lot to make me smile.

In the midst of my growth I never really cared about what my father did . I knew they were criminals. As big packages would come to our house. Ricardo was the face of the cooperation while my father the one who was the muscles and Luh was the psycho who had to be used as the face.

As much as he was also a Montgomery he was not the boss instead Ricardo was .

I guess my father was ambitious for big things but power was not one of the things he desired .

And after he died I took it upon myself to do things differently . When I realized that people always targeted me to kidnap if they wanted to get to my family . I strengthened myself to become stronger . As much as I was still home studying the courses were to just keep me occupied.

Web was not my thing but I still went to the classes out of boredom. I was already good at all these things since I taught myself how to code,hack. Most of the time I spent was on training. Checking orders and controlling relations with the route's keepers since I was in charge of trading art, specifically paintings, while Ricardo was busy with weapons. As much as I was controlling trades and gates I wanted more but for my protection I was kept at home while Luh was on the field .

. I did not like going to war as I was going to lose my man not because I was a coward.

While Jaden florished in the eyes of the public managing this very hotel I was in . I felt my heart toughens as I was hated by society due to my misconduct. What made me sick was that society loves people who were wrong doers , people who actually trafficked people and stole human organs . While I was just art shipping and selling it on the dark web

Jaden did everything legal and I'm not saying otherwise but I wished he could help me at times as he was my supposedly husband who was my friend . My best friend.

Knock !!knock !!

That was the knock that broke me off from.my entangled web of thought. I woke up from my bed that I was lying in like a dead person faced up. After taking a bath earlier I changed into a bath robe.

I was still at Montgomery dynasty . As I requested a room and I got this one that was on the top floor . Apparently it was a a room that was very often used by Jaden .

It was a big spacious place and Ricardo was sleeping in the other room . After the receptionist said there was only one first class left, we took it since most rooms were booked because he kept looking at me. The receptionist must've had wrong ideas about our relationship. Especially since we were both Montgomerys

I made my way looking at this extravagant place. The living room had a glass wall that made me very uncomfortable. I could see all the lightning dancing in the clouds and the sounds were making the horror scream inside of me.

I walked fast as I heard the rain starting the the thurnder intensifying. I pass throught the longe and went to the door. There she was the lady that was here to deliver my food. I didn't really pay attention to anything else but she was smiling .

For some reason earlier my eye caught her while she was in the middle of a heated argument with one of the rich people who came to the hotel . The rich lady who was dressing in fancy clothes topped that off with an expensive cashmere coat . In the midst of her rage because the waiter brought steak with 105⁰ while she wanted a steak with 110⁰. How absurd to top it off. She drenched the waiter in red wine .

This was funny because people thought staff at our establishments were poor but in truth they earned good wages for having to deal with people like them . I guess that's why Jaden was the angel.

Since the lady was at fault and harassing the staff I just gave her a glare and she left. I guess she must have known that Ricardo was the owner and I was sitting next to him .

Many people knew that Ricardo was never biased . The man was a killer . So he could not go around killing everyone because he felt like it. So in most of the things he did he had to be fair.

Let alone everything that happened earlier she was here a few minutes later still smiling like the rest of the day.

"Mrs Montgomery here you supper please enjoy. "she said smiling . Here were those eyes again that had sparks on them that looked like gunfire at night

I wanted that maybe if I smiled more often Jaden would love me and try looking at me. Maybe I would not have fantasies about Ricardo…
