Page 47 of Owned By Frank

Frank’s POV.

Dante follows in my footsteps in a hurry. Surely he is as surprised as I am.

Damn you Jakob! Why the fuck do you show up at the wrong time?!

We both arrive at my office, I stop to catch my breath little by little. I leave my jacket in my room so I just fix my shirt and sleeves.

Dante looks at me doubtfully, the idea that this is not just a trap is not excluded since from Jakob Romani everything can be expected.

I open the door and he is there. He reloads his whole body on one of the armchairs while holding a glass of wine.

I enter at a slow pace, but Dante gets behind the unexpected guest, no surprise there. Dante and I have been friends since we were very young and after so much friendship he didn't hesitate to offer himself as a back guard, although being my friend is beneficial to him.

I take a seat at the head of the table and get ready to go to the point as soon as possible.

- Why the sudden visit? - I say it in a sarcastic way.

He takes a sip from his glass and looks at me with a smile.

- I've come for one thing only, Frank. I want to be your partner...

- My partner? You? And what fucking bug has gotten into you that you suddenly wish you were a partner of your worst enemy?

- Come on Frank you are not my worst enemy, yes... I admit I have tried to take you out a few times but...

- You're not on my level. - I mock with pride.

He just nods.

- In addition, Nathalie ...

- I hope you remember Jakob but I think I made things clear at the party with you and your crazy sister.

- Don't worry, this matter is already more than solved. I've already made things very clear to my dear sister. I made it clear to her that Frank Brandt already has an owner and is not up for discussion...

- Why do you suddenly want to be my partner Jakob?

- Before I tell you that, where is your dear fiancée?

My seriousness comes through, what the hell does this guy care about Grace?

- She's a little delicate right now, why do you ask? - I ask a curious question. More than curious, annoying.

- I just wanted to congratulate her, Nathalie really deserved that beating...

- I apologize for her... - I am serious.

- That doesn't matter anymore. Someone told me that a very particular person infiltrated your party and not only that of course, he is someone very well known to you. One of your worst enemies I understand.

- What the fuck do you mean? - I stand up.

- Nothing, my men were ambushed days ago. They stole my cargo and I only have one suspect, the same man who infiltrated your party, your worst enemy Frank...

- Basili...

He nods.

- You will understand that this guy is dangerous and it is not in your interest or mine to continue being enemies. That's why I want to be your partner...
