Innocent Love Of A Deadly Gangster

Soon the car stopped in front of the union apartments where Steve stayed in his penthouse. They stepped out of the car and moved to the private elevator straight to his penthouse.

Stepping inside the penthouse, Jessica could not help but gasp in surprise. She stared at her surroundings as Steve showed her around.

The first floor was luxurious and had a cosy feeling. It had a sitting area and a room in the corner that was most probably was a guest room. The kitchen was clean and tidy and had a beautiful dining area to eat in. Moving to the next floor was the master bedroom and his study room. The theme for the house was all in warm shades, which gave a warm and cosy feeling. But these were not decorated by the president but by the president's mother.

After he was satisfied with showing off, he asked, "so how is it? Are you fine to stay here with me for a few days?"

Jessica was a bit confused, 'were they not staying here until their marriage and them shifting to the Smith family main house.' She asked him, "Are we not here until our wedding? Or are we going to shift to your family mansion before the marriage?"

Steve was amused by her question and he smiled at her, "my dear, who said that we were going to shift to the Smith mansion after our wedding? A house is already prepared for us to stay in. And it is not just my family now it's our family. You are a part of my family." he stared at her. He could not help but chuckle seeing her 'oh.' expression. She was just too cute to resist. He raised his hand and pinched her cheek.

"ouch..." Jessica gasped as she rubbed her cheek he had just pinched she made a gloomy face and complained, "why do you need to pinch me? Do you know how much it hurts? What about the wedding house? Be clear. I do not understand a bit."

Jessica decided to play dumb. In fact, she already knew that the Smith family had prepared a wedding house for their son's fiancee, on the day when they had decided about their engagement.

She had investigated about the Smith family and to be specific about the president Steve way before when the engagement was not yet confirmed or publicised. And yes it was not only her but her best friends were also involved in this. And she was also somehow aware of the biggest secret Steve was hiding from all.

Seeing her sad face, Steve smiled at her, "don't think too much. You will get to know about it." After saying this, he took her in his arms and whispered, "let me hug you for a while." After a moment of silence Jessica asked him in a timid voice, "are you alright?" She could feel his heart race at her question and then it gradually relaxed as he said a 'yes.' But at that moment his heart was actually a mess.

He sat on the couch his eyes fixed on the woman who had busied herself in the ingredients and utensils. If he would say that he was not falling for this woman, it would be a lie. Since the time she had popped in his life, he had changed completely. His lifestyle, his way of thinking, his feelings, his relations and everything had changed. He himself was not able to believe that he the arrogant little jerk would woo a girl, not less fall for her. he was still reflecting on his thoughts when his phone rang.

He was stunned and almost jumped on his feet. He calmed his little heart as he glanced at his phone. It was none other than his bestie and partner in crime. He picked up the call and the very next second came his joyous voice, "hey I am back in the country. Why don't we meet up tomorrow? Don't forget to bring along sister-in-law for some chit-chat. And I wat a welcome gift to show your generosity. Ok. See you tomorrow at the usual place for afternoon tea and snacks. Till then bye-bye." And the very next second the call was cut. Steve smiled at the childish behaviour of his friend.

He again looked up to see the beautiful face of her. And his smile reached his ears. He looked at her for a while and then said, "Tomorrow keep your schedule free. I want to introduce you to someone." Jessica looked up and looked at his deep and mesmerizing eyes as she replied, "okay sir. I am available. And you can come and dive in as the food is ready."

Then did Steve realised that the food table was already set up and the sight of the meal bought loads of water in his mouth. He swiftly moved towards the table and started eating the food was really at the level of a world-class chef. He just took a bite and he could not help but praise it. Suddenly a thought struck his mind and he got up and walked to the living room. He took out the TV remote and played a cartoon series he was a personal fan of.

He then again moved to the kitchen and shifted all the food to the living room. Jessica curiously took in his moments. Seeing her staring at him without moving an inch he said, "please don't mind. I am addicted to cartoons. Hope you won't mind at all." He smiled at her and she too returned the smile before moving to the couch and sat next to him. It was a p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e that he remembered that she liked cartoons but it was a bit difficult to believe that he was the same.

Jessica was trying to figure this out while Steve smiled secretly as he thought, 'Another impossible task added to the 'little arrogant do not do' list by my wifey, watch cartoons.'
