Chapter 31: The Company

Marco Conti's POV

It's official. It's finally official. Alfred and Valentino Bianchi have sent us the letter stating that Anna was now a free woman, not related to the Femme Fatales and they also stated that it will be the end of that organization.

I was reading the mail when Anna emerged from the bathroom, wearing a yellow loose blouse and a black pencil skirt. I was awestruck by her clothes but her smile shines the most to me.

"good morning, cara," I said as I stood up before I gave her my mug of black coffee. She loved to share everything with me, well except for clothing because we need to look the part.

"Morning, honey," she said as she took the mug before kissing me on the lips. I was still holding the mail before she read it. She turned to me as she blinked a few times.

"Is this it? Is this real?" She asked. I laughed at her attitude but she was so adorable.

"yes, as you live and breath," I said before she settled the mug on the counter before jumping on my tall frame. I caught her by the waist as she attacked me by kissing me on the mouth.

"you're the best," she whispered as she looked at me with her big, blue eyes. I smirked at her before I kissed her lightly.

"you know I am," I replied. She smirked before she grinds on me.

"do you think we could—"

"no, unfortunately, I have bad news as well," I said as I set her down. She pouted before I laughed at her. I kissed her pout as I pulled her lower lips. She moaned.

"We have to go to the company as soon as possible," I said as I took another mail and handed it to her. She read it as she eyed me warily.

"what's this?" She asked.

"just read will you," I said as I was leaning against the counter. She was so focused on the read that she did not notice I was looking at her. Her eyes bulged before she turned to me. I was sipping on the coffee.

"you mean…you mean to tell me that—" she stammered. I just nodded at her before she took the mug and chugged the coffee. I chuckled at her.

"slow down. Or you gonna choke yourself," I said as I looked at her. She put the mug down after she finished before she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

"no time to waste, let's go get that bastard." She said before she went to the sofa and took her handbag. I was getting my suitcase as well as my wallet, keys, and phone. Anna went outside the door as I was locking the door before I pressed the button for the garage to open.

We went to the car as Anna went to her side, I opened the door for her before she took my hand and got in. She thanked me as I went to the driver seat and drove off from our home to the company.

"I'm nervous. Why is that? I usually thrilled to get the bad guy," she said as I was driving through the morning traffic. I looked at her briefly before I took her hand and I kissed the back of it.

"it will be fine. It's just we finally get what we want," I said as I rested our hands on my thigh as I was turning left and right to get to the basement of the company building. Anna was looking for something but that bastard was nowhere to be found.

"it's alright, Anna. You are stronger than this," I said as I held the door for her to get out. She thanked me and I was grateful for that. I went to put my hand on her lower back as we went to the elevator. I pushed the button and the elevator dinged before we got inside and I pressed floor 4.

"do you think I look okay? Am I presentable? Oh my gosh, I did think this through," she said before I pulled her by the waist and kissed her.

"no, you're fine. If anything, that bastard will be having serious problem his way," I said gloomily. Anna laughed before she pulled me closer and kissed me. We broke the kiss in time as we were standing in front of the members of the board as I greeted them.

"Gentlemen," I said as I pushed Anna to walk with me. They nodded before I went to the conference room as there were two people at the other end of the room, talking with each other.

"I was not the one that attacks her, she came to me first," that bastard dared to tell lie about Anna. I gripped my hand into a fist before I ushered Anna to take a seat. The other members of the board took their seats as well. Anna looked confused as to why I was at the head of the table.

"Mr. Andre, I believe you have something to say so that we might reconsider your resignation," I said as I looked at him. He was sweating I can tell as he was putting his handkerchief around the forehead before he cleared his throat.

"Mr. Conti, I'm afraid that Ms. Honchar was the one that advanced at me when she first saw me. She loved to get around with me and grinding herself—"

I shoot a glare at him as he was stammering to get the words together. I can sense that he was about to make another white lie but I think I know enough.

"cara, do you want to tell something about that story? Was it true that you were hanging around him during your interview?" I asked Anna as she looked at the old bastard with disgust.

"How could I want to be with him! I only respect him as an elder, nothing more than that. And considering that he was my boss makes him someone that I have my respect. But I guess my respect was disguised as something else by him. And for the record, I don't want your attention," she said as she was gripping her hands together. I smirked at the bastard and my wife's fury before I cleared my throat.

"members of the board, if you agree to continue the employment of Mr. Andre, please raise your hand," I said as my voice was booming across the room. People were looking at each other as I know they would not dare. They already see the evidence and no one dares to defend him.

the old bastard was looking around the room as he was shocked that no one dares to stand up for him. I smirked as that bastard looked at me. His eyes were furious but I guess no one will ever help him again.

"The board has spoken. I will need to resign from you as well as your title. I will not recommend you to be in this field again. So you might want started to look at another opportunity in the big company," I said as I was standing next to Anna, putting my hand on her shoulder.

"after all, I did for you, for all those years, this is my repayment!" He shouted as he was ready to get to me. Everyone was on alert but I know better.

"you should have not touched what's mine and you will face the consequences," I said in Italian in my low tone that could send a chill to anyone. Everyone was stunned before the bastard was breathing heavily. I dipped my head as the security escorted him out.

"thank you for the time to come to the meeting, gentlemen," I said as I addressed to the members of the board.

"I have a new motion to get past around," I said as I looked at every one of them. They nodded to urge me on.

"I have chosen my other partner in this company and that will be my wife, Anastasia Honchar. She will oversee the manufacturing of the drugs locally and abroad. If everyone agreed, say aye," I said and they all shouted aye. I smiled.

"thank you, you may leave now," I said before they all got up and shook hands with me as well as congratulate me with Anna.

"we'll see about that, but in the meantime, I will make sure that she belongs to me," I said in Italian. Most of the members were my people. I loved it when they agreed to be on this part of the journey to acquire the company.

as the last of them went out of the room, I turned Anna to look at me in the face. There was confusion, anger but most of them all, surprised by my skills.

"surprise?" I asked her. She blinked a few times before crossing her arms and scoffed as well as she rolled her eyes.

"no, but I guess I could never predict you, psycho," she said as she was trying to surpass her smile. I arched my eyebrow.

"psycho?" I asked her before she blushed.

"my beloved psycho," she mumbled but I caught the word. I smiled at her before I swooped her into my arms.

"that's right and you belong to this psycho," I said before I claimed her mouth. She smiled as the time stood still for two of us.
