I was making much-needed preparations to hop on the private jet and make my way towards Village Grove to have a conversation with Dalton Rialto face to face, well that is what I was telling my business associates at the office. Still, in reality, I was going there to put in a coffin and dig up a grave probably in the same spot where his late son, Dominic was buried at Herrington Cemetary. I didn't give a fuck about Dominic and his death was nothing but collateral damage to me. It took a lot of willpower for me not to punch a hole in the wall when Verena revealed to me that she was once in a romantic relationship with Dominic, but good thing ole dude is dead because he wasn't I probably would find him, and kill him for just having a piece of woman before I was able to.



I become quite obsessed with Verena, especially now I know tight and sweet her pussy is. She was mine, I would kill any man, who tried to harm or take as a threat. Verena had no idea Tirian and Arlo were stationed at her mother's house during the evening time. I was going to make sure my lady was safe. I didn't trust anyone in this city outside of the people within my organization.

"Bae, I know it's last minute I know you told me you were about to go out of town to meet with an investor, but I was hoping you could come over to have dinner with me and Mama before you leave". I read the text message as sat on one of the leather seats on my private jet. "Damn", I grunted with annoyance. There was no way I was going to tell Verena no, if I did, then she probably would probe me with questions I am not willing to answer.

"Why you over there you looking like you shitted in your draws bro", Arsenio says as he sits across me, with his long legs stretched out and his left arm braced against the armchair as he raises his eyebrows at him. "Verena just now asked me if I can over to the house to have dinner with her and her mama". Arsenio smiles, "Finally about to officially meet Ma Dukes. Her name is Adela Ashbourne, and she is fine as fuck".

I wave Arsenio not wanting to hear him talk that way about my woman's mother. "Man chills with all of that, Only met Adela at my baby's college graduation she nearly chewed my head off. I think she might know that I am a mafia leader". Arsenio nods as he rubs the side of his neatly trimmed goatee.

"Possibly, but maybe Adela just doesn't like your ass or you're not good enough to be with her baby girl". A smirk covers my face as quickly begin typing back to Verena. "I'll be there Cherie, just know after dinner, you going to be my dessert". I lick my lips and my dick gets hard thinking about slurping up Verena's wet pussy. "Okay Zaddy, see you soon". I place my phone back in my pocket as Arsenio has a smug expression covering his face.

"You are so fucking whipped". "Fuck you, when you find a good woman, you going to be crazy in love just like me". Arsenio shakes his head, "Hell no, I'll let you do all of that lovey-dovey shit, my boy. I'm fine being by myself".

I laugh Arsenio has sworn that he will never get in a relationship, but I think he hasn't found the right woman yet. Maybe one day he will. An hour later, I am standing outside of Adela's home with two Louis Vuitton medium-sized bags in my head and a bouquet. The door opens and a flowery, sweet scent greets me, I smile as Verena looks up at me.

"Hey babe,", she then glances down at the bags and flowers in my hand. "What is all of this", she asks before she walks forward and presses my hands around her waist, pecking her lips and then handing her a bouquet of roses, "I bought you and your mom, something nice".

Verena smiles widely, "You are going to spoil me Eryx, it seems like nearly every day you buy me something". Verena wasn't lying about me spending money on her, I made sure to stack her bank account with at least $10k each week. She had full access to any restaurant, bar, lounge, or club, and could go there without having to pay for anything.

I shut the door and hear, "I see you made an appearance, you know you are an hour late", I hear Adela say as she walks around the corner with her arms folded against her. "Mama please stop, you know it was last minute to tell Eryx about dinner, we already talked about this". Verena frowns at her mom, while Adela looks at the roses in my hand and the Louis Vuitton bag. "These are for you Ms. Adela, I wanted to get you something nice". I then hand the roses and bag to Adela as her frown diminishes from her face.

"Umm, thank you", Adela then smells the roses and opens up the bag, taking out the orange box, unboxing it discarding the box inside of the bag. Her eyes widen when she takes notice of the Alma BB bag. Verena squeals when she takes notices the Pochette Metis purse. "Oh my god, how did you know I wanted this. You are the best boyfriend ever". Verena wraps her arms around me. Verena and I hold each other for several minutes before I can hear Adela clearing her throat. "Okay, enough of all that, it's time to eat dinner".

Verena then takes hold of her and her mother's bags before running upstairs to place them in their bedrooms. I grab hold of their roses as I follow Adela further inside the house. We walked in silence until we reached the kitchen. My mouth water when I take notice of the various plates of food surrounding the kitchen island.

Salmon cakes, red beans and rice, seafood gumbo, crawfish ettoufee, fried catfish, boudin balls, and even beignets with powdered sugar. "This spread looks amazing Ms. Adela", I saw as I handed her both rose bouquets as she placed them in glass vases. "No need to thank me, this was all my daughter's doing". I am shocked my eyes widen as look at all of the food. "Verena made all of this". Adela nods as she leans against the kitchen counter near the stainless steel refrigerator and frowns at me.

"I do not like the fact my daughter is in a relationship with such a dangerous and violent man". I smirk at Adela's statement. " What makes you think I am dangerous and violent". Adela shifts her head to the side as if she studying me closely.

"Son, I am far from naive and gullible and have been around men who have a colorful background like yourself. The only person you running game on is my daughter". I place my hand against the counter, "No disrespect Ms. Adela, but what I do for work is not your business. I have the utmost respect for you because you are Verena's mother, but I won't allow anyone to belittle or try to diminish my character". Adela laughs and shakes her at me.

"Okay whatever, but I think you need to be aware that my daughter has quite a temper on her". I frown not liking where the direction of this conversation is going. "Verena does not have a temper and has never raised her voice to try to manipulate me in any way".

Adela crosses her arms in front of her. "You only been with my daughter for a hot minute and now you trying to tell me who you think she is. She has a vicious bite on her. I am warning you because if you do anything to piss her off, she won't back down. She fears no one". Just as I am about to respond Verena enters the kitchen and places her hands around my waist before kissing my cheek.

"Ready to eat babe", she rubs the side of my waist as place my arm around her shoulder. "Sure let's eat ladies". Adela frown at me the majority of the time during dinner which I didn't two fucks about. I know she was in her damn feelings because I told her to mind her business.

I wasn't going to explain to anybody the affairs I placed myself in. I care for Verena very much and didn't need to prove that to anyone. I could tell Adela wasn't used to Verena occupying her undivided attention as where outside of their home because she tried to gaslight me into believing that Verena was not who she painted herself out to me.

I've been around a shady group of women before and Verena doesn't even come close to the shiesty shit I have witnessed that some women will do. She was a good girl and I was going to make sure she stayed that way.

If she found out that I was a mafia leader I think it would crush her soul and might cause her to run away from me out of fear. The thought of losing her makes my skin crawl so I will do everything in my power to protect her, even from myself if I have to.



Adela is so noisy and messy from trying to get a rise out of Eryx, but it didn't work. I'm telling you this is only the beginning of her crazy antics.
