Mafia Desire novel (Ava and Andrew) novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26
"Travis, please calm down." I said, pressing my hand against his chest and attempting to push him away from Andrew.

"I did nothing to her, but I would gladly cut off your arm for touching what belongs to me." Andrew returned the growl.

I was becoming enraged; I could defend myself, and I wasn't a piece of property Andrew could own.

"For God's sake, Andrew, I am not your piece of FUCKING PROPERTY." I screamed at Andrew while standing in front of Travis, facing him.

"Ava, step back." Andrew said, reaching into his waistband and revealing his gun. "Andrew, don't you fucking dare, I'm not moving in with you if you touch Travis." I said.

Andrew drew his hand from his waistband and turned away from Travis to look at me. "Are you going to live with me?" He inquired, perplexed.

"On two conditions: don't touch Travis and you'll hire him." I explained that I knew Travis needed a job, and that this way I could keep Travis out of trouble while also giving him a way to take down his cousin.

"Hire him? I'm not going to hire him." He spat, returning his gaze to Travis.

"Shortness, I'm not working for Andrew." Travis stated.

"Both of you, shut the fuck up. Andrew, you're going to hire Travis, and Travis is going to take the job so you can kill your cousin." I yelled, giving them both death stares.

Andrew looked Travis up and down and nodded; Travis looked at me and then back at Andrew, saying, "Okay fine."

"And me and you are going to have a long ass conversation when we get to your house," I said to Andrew.

Andrew and Travis followed me as I began walking to my apartment building.

Travis' gaze was drawn to me as Andrew placed his hand on the back of my shoulder. "Don't," I hissed back at Andrew as I grabbed his hand and shoved it into his chest.

I was furious with both Travis and Andrew, but especially with Andrew for continuing to treat me as if I were a piece of property. A large black SUV was parked in front of my apartment building.

The driver came out and opened the door, and Andrew motioned for me to get in. I waved goodbye to Travis and climbed into the car, with Andrew close behind.

I was still irritated with Andrew, so I sat in the back seat and stared out the window as the tall buildings of New York transformed into mansions.

We arrived at Andrew's house about 15 minutes later; it was enormous. There was a 7-foot gate in front of the house with four guards standing guard outside; once we got through the gate, I had a better view of his house. As the driver parked in the four-car garage on the side of the house, I caught a glimpse of the backyard. There was no denying that his house outdid his mother's.

I got out of the car and followed Andrew into his house once it was parked in the garage. In the other room, I noticed three other men dressed all in black. They all stood up and began walking towards Andrew and me when they noticed us. Andrew approached them after noticing them.

"Who is that, boss?" the first man said.

"She's damn hot," said the second man.

"Can I have a piece of her when you're finished with her?" the third man winked at me.

I was disgusted by them all; who did they think they were? I had to remind the male species for the fourth time today that I wasn't a piece of meat.

"Talk to me like that again, asshole, and I'll dislocate your head from your neck." I sneered at him.

"Oh, feisty, I like them like that." He stated.

God, I absolutely detest men.

"If you speak to her like that again, I'll put a bullet between your eyes." Before I could say anything else, Andrew interrupted.

I rolled my eyes at him because he knew I could defend myself and didn't need anyone else to stand up for me.

"Ava, she'll show you to your room." Andrew motioned to a lady who appeared to be a maid.

"Like hell she is, we aren't done talking about the fucking stunt you pulled."

"Ava, we'll talk later, but I have some business to attend to first." Andrew motioned to the three men standing a few feet away.

"All right," I said.
