Monday

---

I wanted to forget. The weekend. Kelvin had one thing Andy will never have and that's the love of my family. We have been together since High-school and since than things just went down hill. Andy was just glaring at Kelvin making weird noises. His hands were in fists, five times i have to keep him from killing Kelvin with a butter knife. "Miss. Jones, is everything alright?" Jackson asked.

Snapping out of my zone i gave a nod pushing myself up from my chair. "Uh yeah," gazing at the clock i sighed heavily. "I have a meeting. Please make sure the paper goes to the printer. Sign off will you."

"Really?" his eyes grew wide, excitement spreading across his face.

"You are just signing the paper off not raping it." Shrugging on my jacket i threw the keys to him. "Make sure to put in the correct password." He gave a nod as i walked out of my office. "Cancel all my meetings, will handle it tomorrow."

"Miss. Jones, Kelvin John called he-"

Slowly turning around i shook my head slowly. "Don't." I warned. "Block his number and tell security to-"

"But Miss. Jones the man is the man is the New-York times' lawyer." Clara said uncertain.

"Well still block his number. He can see Cellar not me. I am not he only senior partner. Don't call me, don't text me. Even if someone is dying." I snapped irritably. "I am late."

I walked up the stairs of the shadow walkers slowly putting on my chain as i knocked with my foot. Crap thing won't budge. The door opened seeing Jake with a smile. "let me." I nod as a thank you as he came around helping with the chain. "You must be nervous."

"What for?" I asked confused as he turned back to me waiving me in the mansion.

"The trail." He said with a laugh walking into the great hall. Huh? What trail? I am so confused its not even funny. I sighed heavily removing my jacket throwing it on the stair case. Straightening my button up red shirt i walked in. Everyone stood up and lowered their head. Andy not so much. He just gave me a wink. "You may be seated." I announced walking to me 'Game of thrones' seat. "Juliet." I said softly.

She came into the room holding a glass of water in one hand and a notebook and pen in another. "Hey Max, how was your weekend?"

Everyone glared at her before i could respond. "Good Juliet. Yours?" She gave a nod and walked out. "Stop looking at her like she said that Satan has risen." Picking up the glass i sipped on my cold water before opening the book. "Lets get this thing going. I have a date with my boyfriend." Ashely shot me a evil glare. "You got something to say to me Mr. Purdy?"

"No black widow." He whispered giving me a tight smile.

"Good."

Alex stood up flipping his hair once again. "Counsel call Master Quinn." There a man walked in with a black suit. Andy stood up clicking his fingers waiving at some of the sub's. they hurried to him moving his chair next to mine. "State your name and submissive's name."

Andrew placed his hand on my leg caressing it softly as i just narrowed my eyes at the man standing at the end. "Kellin Quinn, Submissive called lady Jane. Name Jane Baldwin."

"Mr. Black." Alex nodded and turned to me, "Black widow you may take the floor." To dance?

"Please get Mr. Quinn a chair." I mumbled. As quick as a speed racer someone gave him a chair. "Thank you Nadia." I grumbled. She gave a nod and walked out.

"You know every sub?" Andrew asked with his brow arched.

"Yes. don't you?" He shook his head making me roll my eyes. "Mr. Quinn what have you been charged with, did you beat your submissive- if so you know what that does mean,"

"No Black widow." He breathed. "I did something worse." He lowered his head shaking it."

"Kellin please look at me while you talk, you are not having a conversation with the table you are with me. Ignore the counsel and just talk to me, if they interjects i will be sure to cut their tongue off with razor wire, if not slap them,"

Everyone gaped at me with mouths opened. "You make me so hard." Andy whispered making me smile softly. "Please Mr. Quinn." He waved to Kellin.

Kellins seemed tongue tied. He was sweating heavily under my presence. "If you don't care to talk will one of you be his mouth, cause it seemed i have cut off his." Jake stood up.

"Permission to speak Black widow?"

"Granted." I nodded flipping the book opened grabbing my pen starting to draw a cat and a dog sitting in a tree.

"Master Quinn here disobeyed rule 22, submissive must not take control over the dominant in any situation."

"I wanted to spice things up Black Widow. Please don't disband me."

Looking up from my cat and dog drawing i sighed heavily. "How long have you and your submissive been together."

"For five years now,"

I leaned into Andy with a pout. "Two years." Andrew whispered i gave a nod leaning back in my chair.

"Overruled."i said with a tight smile, Kellins face visibly relaxes.

"What!" Most of the counsel yelled in disbelief.

"I am not done." I whispered. "The rule stated that more than seven years with one submissive you can consider role playing where one sub can take control. But you have too consult with us." Licking my lips i breathed heavily. "Who wants Jane?" I asked softly.

All eyes me confused. "I?" Alex said with a goofy smile.

"Very well." I nodded. "Kellin Quinn you are disband from the mansion for five months, in that amount of time you are willing to go seek a submissive if not you are contract is up and if this happen again i will be forced to teach you a lesson and take you to the dungeon myself. Please leave."

"Wow," Christian breathed with a nod of approval. "I am glad you are taking notes Black Widow."

"Oh no." I shook my head flipping the book opened. "I was bored." I said in unison. Everybody's face fell instantly. "Any stuff i should know?"

"No everything is in order." Alex said with a nod.

"Good. Well..." i chuckled softly. "Get out before i vomit."

They all pushed them self up walking out the room. "You did good for the first trail. Some will panic."

"I am not anyone Andrew." I turned to him grabbing his hand circling my thumb on his palm. "I am so so tired of this weekend."

"He will not hurt you. Maxine you are co-owner of the worlds elite club. You have people who have power. "

"Master Black, you have a phone call." The petite girl said with her head lowered. "I am sorry to disturb Black Widow."

"Its alright girl's name i don't know." I turned to Andrew as he gave me a wet kiss. "Go."

Just than Jake walked back in clapping his hand softly. "You are a natural dominant. Anyway the reason why i am here." He hand me a red envelope. "This came in the mail this morning."

The Shadow Walker's logo was on it. I sighed heavily ripping it open. "I don't understand."

"The five families are coming together Max."

"What the hell does that mean?"

"It means..." he drifted off biting his lips. "The five families are the pillars. They are coming here. Meaning its hell on earth. They never come here. They are located in LA, Seattle and Rome. Guessing they are changing pace."

"Okay." I nodded. "English please. Like i am dumb."

"Meaning they are coming here to either extend the club or disband it. It all depends if you can impressed them."

"Okay who is the five families?" I asked.

"Mine." He blushed. "Andrews, Jeremy's, Christians and Ashley."

I huffed and groaned. "Jake please get me all the rule books, contracts and submissive and Dominants, and more importantly. i think its time to see for myself how the dungeon looks."
