Chương 11: CHAPTER 10
"We appreciate you working with us, Mr. Lance." Zeke said.
"Of course. Though there is one problem." Said the man who sat in front of Zeke.
"What-" Zeke asked but stopped when he saw Danica coming out of the room.
"Who is this lady, Mr. Lee?" The men smirked as he looked Danica up and down making Zeke clench his jaw.
"Go back to your room." Zeke said looking at Danica coldly.
"I was just–"
"She has a pretty voice." The man spoke.
Danica looked at him scared. She moved her gaze to Zeke but quickly looked down when she found him glaring at her.
"I'm busy. Go to your room now." Zeke spoke the words more powerfully and slowly, making it clear for her to quickly run back to her room.
She turned around before taking quick steps back to their room. She bite her lip, locking the door and she sat beside their parrot, "I'll feed you later baby. Please wait.." She said caressing the parrot's head.
Playing with her parrot she smiled seeing how cutely it walks around but suddenly frowned when Zeke's face flashed in her mind. She could tell he was very angry with her. But he didn't tell her not to go out of the room. What could she even do? It's not like she knew he had someone in the house.
ZEKE POV
"We can wait for the deal once you come back, it's not a big problem."
Said the man in front of me nodded before getting up. I wish he'd go quick. He keeps looking at the direction where Danica came from.
"We can talk about the rest next time. See you then Mr. Lance." I spoke, shaking my hands with him.
"Sure." He answered, my men soon walked him out of the door.
I sighed before taking steps to our room so I could talk to Danica. She should have known there was someone in the house! I don't talk to myself!
I was about to open the door but I heard Danica's voice, "I made Dady Zeke angry and upset baby… He'll be so mad at me now. What do I do? I only wanted to get your food."
"Zeke! Zekee!" I heard the parrot speak.
That disrespectful little parrot! He never calls me respectfully and it would always call Danica as mommy.
"What it is baby. You should call Zeke by his name. Daddy Zeke?"
I smiled hearing her as she spoke in her sweet voice.
"Daddy Zeke!!"
"My baby parrot loves Daddy?" I heard Danica giggle as I sighed softly.
"Love mommy.." The parrot spoke again.
I shouldn't be ruining the moment but I need to talk to Danica. Should I just walk in? What am I doing? Of course I should walk in.
****
The door swing open. Zeke looked at Danica seriously. She tried speaking but was stopped when Zeke started speaking.
"Don't come out again when there other people at the house." He said, he just looked at her firmly.
"I won't. I'm sorry." Danica immediately answer.
Before going out Zeke nodded in response to her. He cursed at himself for not saying anything else but he didn't want to ruin it for her. She was happy for the first time in so long and he wanted her to stay that way.
He sighed before walking to his office room in the house. Taking a seat on the chair as he finally decided to open the file of Danica's parents. He wanted to know about them. Going through the file he found it just what he had expected it to be.
And he felt bad for Danica. Once again he wished he could tell this all to her, the urge inside him pushing him hard but he couldn't it to her. He sighed, putting the file away as he placed those in a drawer before locking it. Making sure Danica won't finds it out.
He rubbed his temples before taking out the file of Zach. Turning out for him to be his cousin wasn't something Zeke was finding possible to believe. But it was the truth.
His family blood was betraying him. Was he supposed to fight with him? Why did he do that? He could simply be with Zeke yet he chose to be with his enemy.
He growled, he looked up before burying his head in his hands letting out a deep breathe. He wanted to calm himself down but it was hard knowing there are enemies everywhere. Being a Mafia was too hard. Too hard that you have to risk your whole life. But how could he leave Danica behind knowing she has no one with her?
He sighed as he heard the door knocking. Maintaining a straight posture as he permitted the person to come in. His men walked inside and bowed down to him, "Sir, Zeke. The man who spying us name John is now sent out of the country with his family safely." He informed.
Zeke nodded his head.
"But Mr. Woodlei is looking for John, sir. He may find out soon that we have sent him away." His men added to informed him.
Zeke closed his eyes for a brief second before speaking.
"Make fake identities for him and his family without letting anyone know." Zeke command, looking at his men coldly.
"Yes, boss." He bowed before walking out of the room leaving Zeke alone in the room again.
Diving into working once again, Zeke tried to avoid his thoughts. He wasn't someone who gets scared but he needed to think about not only him now. He was a family man. He may not have kids but he had a wife to take care of.
Meanwhile, Danica walked to the kitchen before putting their parrot back in the cage. She started cooking dinner for them as thoughts wandered in her mind. Despite wanting to ignore the thoughts she could not help but to think about that men. She had seen him before.
She surely never wanted to face that men ever again but here he was. "Is Zeke working with him?'' She thought and she shivered, closing her eyes.
But she wanted to believe that Zeke wasn't the kind of person to work with him. That men isn't a very good person. And Danica knew it very well. She sighed as the dinner was ready. Hesitant to go to Zeke, she still gathered courage before walking to his office room. She lightly knocked on the door.
"Come inside." She heard a frustrated voice, she gulped before walking inside.
"Zeke…The dinner is ready, do you want to eat now?" Danica ask.
Zeke just looked at her coldly.
"Yes. I'll be there in a minute. You can go." He answered, his words clearly came out as he wanted her to go away.
She frowned, she walked outside and back to the kitchen and took a seat on the table, placing her palm under her chin while resting her elbow on the table. Despite being too thin, she still managed to look very beautiful. She went deep into thinking. She was unsure and scared. She didn't know whether to ask Zeke about that man or not.
She quickly got up as she saw Zeke coming toward the kitchen. Serving the meal she placed a plate on the table while Zeke took his seat.
He looked at her confusingly, she blinked her eyes innocently making clear his throat awkwardly.
"Aren't you eating?" He questioned, Danica she shook her head, "I'm not feeling–" She stopped speaking when she saw Zeke glaring at her badly.
He pulled her hand down and made her sit, she widen her eyes in surprise, "Eat." Zeke said coldly, he passed his plate to her and served another one for himself.
She gulped before taking the spoon to eat. She slowly started eating looking so small next to Zeke's figure. She slightly turned aside before hesitantly speaking. "Z-Zeke.."
Danica says his name while he normally continued to eat without looking at her.
"Hmmm?" He respond as he ate silently.
"Who was that men earlier–?" She's trying to ask faintly. Zeke stopped eating before closing his eyes making Danica to looked down in fear.
"I'm not trying to involve myself in your work. I-I just wanted to know if you're w-working with him or not." Danica quickly explained.
Zeke let out a deep sigh before continuing to eat but Danica could see her clenching his jaw. She knew he was angry. Zeke didn't respond to her, he just ignored her question making Danica to speak again.
" I think I h-have seen that man before–" she said.
Zeke shook his head to her.
