Chapter 44

JASPER

Max and I spent the day organizing and bringing in extra security, with assistance from Luka and a reliable contact in Miami.

The Russians were ruthless and well-known for their unethical and savage ways. Underestimating their threats would be foolish, but it wasn’t necessary to completely disrupt our lives, yet.

The Petrov brothers were not directly connected to the Russian Mafia-like their father, but rumors suggested that after his death, they took over his empire. Their reckless actions during the transition caused a rift with numerous allies.

Four o’clock came quicker than I realized.

“Alright asshole unless you are skipping Christian’s engagement party, I think we both should get going, he will kill you if you’re late.” I teased as I started to shut down my computer.

“Me? yeah right. my uncle Jasper is all I’ve heard for weeks now.” Max snorted back. I’m not sure I’m even worthy of an invitation thanks to your aristocratic ass.”

“Oh Max, don’t let my wealth and generosity make you feel insignificant. We both know it’s not the money that makes me the better man.” I said teasingly

“It’s my large and fucking incredible…”

“Ugh, don’t you say it you arrogant asshole.” Max snapped with a look of disdain.

“What? I was going to say smile, where was your brain?” I flashed him a smirk and turned off my desk lamp before I walked towards the door briefcase in hand.

I managed to change into the extra tuxedo I stored at my office. and stop at the florist to buy a bouquet of roses for Harper. Usually, Hector handles these things for me, but he was occupied with other tasks today. I had some time to spare before he arrived to pick me up.

I hated going to the florist, at least this one. It’s the best one in my area and right near the office. The owner is an older woman who probably was quite attractive when she was younger, but time hasn’t been too kind to her. She is very friendly, almost too friendly, the few times I had the pleasure of dealing with her I left her store feeling like she had undressed me with her eyes and violated me in ways no man should ever be especially by an elderly woman.

Twenty minutes and two dozen red roses later Hector arrived. I slid into the back seat of my SUV, and we drove towards the penthouse to pick up Harper.

My stomach was in knots. I was so fucking nervous. I felt like a teenage boy, going on his first date with a hot girl.

What the hell is wrong with me?

I’ve never let a woman get my nerves twisted like this especially since I’ve made my fortune, as arrogant as that may sound, money changes perspective. Except for Harper, extravagant and costly things only bother her.

I frowned at the roses as the realization hit me. I need to reevaluate my process when it comes to impressing her. My sumptuous act won’t work with her, she’s too genuine, too humble. That’s the best Fucking part about her.
