Catherine Ashton

Jacob told me that Ian, Tatiana, Nate, Joan along with Lucas and Crystal will be going to Trillium Park this evening and he asked me if I want to join him. I told him of course and he will pick me up in 5 minutes. He told me to wear sports attire because we're going to a jog and a pingpong game.

Jacob will change into his sports attire as soon as he got here and I will wait in the car.

"Hey.. I'm here." Jacob said and I got out from my room, ran downstairs quickly. I saw Jacob parking his car and I walked out.

"Hey, how's the meeting?" I asked.

"It was great, here.." He threw me the car key and he walked inside. I got into the car and started it. As I'm waiting for him, I decided to just go into my social media account to check what's going on with the world. Suddenly Jacob got inside and I put down my phone to put on my seatbelt.

"Ready?"

"Yeah, sure." I answered and he put on his seatbelt before start driving.

"Let's go." He said and he drove out the mansion.

"Jacob, tomorrow.. I'm going to have a cake tasting, you wanna come?" I asked him.

"Okay, what time is it?"

"Around 11, do you have any work?"

"No, I don't have work tomorrow. I can go there with you." He said and I smiled. I'm glad that he's trying to be apart to prepare the wedding. I mean he went to pick the wedding dress with me and now he will come to the cake tasting, I'm excited.

"After the jog, we're going to have dinner together. Will you be okay with that? it's their last night in Toronto before going back to New York."

"Sure, why not?"

"Great."

"So.. how did you meet them? I forgot to ask you that." I asked curiously because they seemed so close to each other. When I worked as his secretary, I never know who his friends are. He always hangs out with them randomly and I never know who the hell he's meeting up with. He can meet up with a chick or maybe a friend.

"That's going to be deep.. Well, me, Ian and Lucas were actually mafias." He said and my eyes widen. I turned to him disbelief.

"What? So.. you killed people?" I started to freak out.

"Yes and no."

"What do you mean yes and no?" I asked.

"Don't worry, we're not anymore. That's why I have 2 names, it's to cover up things." He said and I looked out the window nervously.

"So.. uhmm.. are you.. going to kill me?" I asked and he laughed.

"Why would I kill you? I'm not a mafia anymore. Lucas and Ian too, we're out of it now. Are you that scared?" He asked still laughing, I smacked his arm.

"Of course! I'm sitting beside a damn mafia.. you can kill me in a flick."

"I'm not that kind of person, Catherine. You don't need to be scared at us because we're not mafia anymore. If they still a mafia, do you think Crystal will marry Lucas? Her dad will kill him before he can even marry her." I mean it make sense, Crystal isba Lemiere after all. Who doesn't know Lemiere?

"Chill." He said laughing at me.

"You scared the shit out of me." I hissed.

"Don't worry, I never kill people with my own hands. I commanded other people to do it for me." He said and I just shook my head still not believing what's going on. We arrived in Trillium Park because it's not that far from his mansion.

He parked his car and we got out from the car heading towards the park. He called Nate to ask where he is and Jacob lead me to the location. I was a little bit scared about the fact that he's a mafia that's why I made a little distant between me and him.

"You're being dramatic, Catherine." He said as he stopped walking waiting for me.

"What?" I asked him pretending not to know.

"I'm not going to kill you, if you're wondering." He hissed coldly and I pouted. I walked beside him and he took my hand holding it.

"Relax." He said and I tried to relax. I saw his friends talking to each other while stretching their bodies.

"Hey." Jacob said and they all greeted me.

"Hi, you must be Catherine, I'm Joan." Joan introduced herself and I smiled.

"Nice to meet you Joan." I said and she gave me a brief hug.

"Are you a fan of jogging?" Joan asked.

"Not really.."

"Jacob kinda said that, I mean he predicted that you're not a jogging type of girl so we jogged around earlier and we decided to walk with you." Crystal said and I smiled.

"Thankyou and sorry." I said.

"It's fine, we can talked as we stroll around the park." Joan said.

"Let the boys jog." Tatiana said and Jacob already gathered with the boys.

"Babe, we're going to jog a few laps. I'll see you at the pingpong table place." Lucas said and Crystal nodded. They all ran together and we, girls, started walking.

"How's the wedding planning going now?" Tatiana asked.

"Well.. it's going okay, we're going for a cake tasting tomorrow." I said.

"That's so exciting.. I hope everything will go well." Crystal said.

"Nate told me that you're going to get married in less than a month, how are you coping that?" Joan asked.

"Well.. The elders helped us a lot since it was their idea to have the wedding quickly." I said.

"I see.. well I bet you'll do great." Crystal said and I skiled to her.

"Thanks.. but uhm.. I have something to ask you guys." I said looking at Crystal and Tatiana.

"Ask away." Tatiana said.

"Uhmm your husbands are mafias?" I asked in a careful tone.

"They were one but not anymore." Crystal answered.

"Ohh.. so Jacob was one too with them?"

"I heard that Jacob quit more early than them, he was so young at that time but he got out of it with the help of his grandpa. Lucas and Ian just quit 3 years ago so you don't need to worry about it." Crystal answered and I felt more.. calm knowing that he quited the mafia world long time ago.

"The three of them still have some connections but don't you worry, they're not going to attack or mess with us. They're on the same circle." Tatiana added.

"So.. Ian and Lucas isn't their real name?"

"No, Ian's secret name is Deandre Romeo. Just like Jacob and Kyle but Lucas went for his real name all the time." Tatiana answered.

"Oh okay.." I said nodding.

"Don't worry, they're not bad people. They never intentionally go do mafia, they were kidnapped and taken at some point." Joan said as she patted my shoulder.

"Oh okay.."
