PENNY POV
The blond guy helps me sit up while I finish recovering my breath. I think he doesn't like me at all. It's not that, Oscar is something explosive. Oscar is the last of the Wolves, he is tall, with black hair, gray eyes like cold metal, his arms full of tattoos with the wolf on his neck. I tried to get some sleep after that, but I couldn't do it, because they must have gone to my apartment to find some kinship between Aleksandr and me given that I have registered my surname as my mother's last name, Melissa Stewart. Vladimir's never fit in my name because he never believed I was worthy of bearing his disgusting last name. It wasn't that I cared much either. I wanted to go to sleep before two of the guards entered the room and they took me to a tiny bathroom where they told me to shower. Claiming that the Wolves are waiting for me in the dining room They delivered a change of clothes, clothes that I recognized confirming my theory of who was in my apartment. They take me to the kitchen, and I take time to detail the mansion, it is gigantic. They took me to the dining room along the table with the three men on it, the dining room is surrounded by natural light through large windows along the same. Oscar is sitting at the head of the table, with Noah and Raymond next to him, so I decided to take a seat next to the blonde hair guy Noah, who generates the least fear in me among the three. A lady came to put food on the table for me, I thanked her for that but when her gaze rested on the others, she was terrified. We wanted to offer you a deal doll, Oscar exclaims. I move with my hand prompting him to continue while I devour my breakfast. My little attention to him seems to amuse Noah. You see doll, I want the head of Aleksandr and you know where to find him. I tense up and I stop eating, my eyes collide with the gray cold eyes. I don't know where he is, I said. But you can find him with the necessary resources Raymond exclaimed. No one knows him more than you Penny, Noah continues. And what do I get in return? I asked Do you think you're in a good condition to ask for something? Oscar snorts sarcastically. Well, the truth is, I think you are saying I know better than you, I said sarcastically. Well, I know how he thinks, how he moves, that's why I have been closer to finding him without even a single resource and you with all your power, if I decide to close my mouth, it will last months before you find him, assuming I will do it, I promise you the head of Aleksandr's in half the month Noah laughs, and Raymond looks back at Oscar who smiles, a smile that promises pain and suffering. Okay, doll the head of Aleksandr for your freedom. Done deal. I squeal happily and catch a glimpse of a smile on Oscar's face. After breakfast, they take me to their study, where they have information about Aleksandr on blackboards, the last places he visited, etc. Your turn doll, he said. I review the notes and data and I change them for the correct ones. Aleksandr has more properties, I know that you took away the orphanage, but he has some distributed in other cities with different names, most of them are in my Mother's Melissa, I explained. There are many others, many in Russia that are in the name of a certain Michael, I still haven't discovered who Is he nor what relationship he has with my father. What I discovered is that they are in the name of that guy because my father is prohibited from entering Russia. After all, they have issued an order to capture him. I update the data and fill in the formulas. Lia and I got one of his men to sell me information about his latest business in return for a few bills that I stole from Matthew, I got myself beat up for that but it was worth it. He will come to Germany with a new shipment of drugs and weapons this month. "What port?" Oscar asks. What is the name of the ship? Raymond asked again. If he has more properties here, we must manage his business that way, we need those locations and dismantle them, Noah said. The name of the port and the ship, I will reserve it. It's my pass to freedom, like this I will tell you until the time approaches the date. I smiled, making Oscar snort dissatisfied, but said nothing. I will give you the locations but I want another condition. Stop there blondy, You want freedom. Raymond said. I know I won't have it, come on, do you think am I so stupid? You won't give me freedom after I have helped you with your plans, live together in a month. Give you all his data, important information, you wouldn't let me go, you will kill me. You think I don't I know, but I want something first. what do you want? Oscar said. When you catch him, I want to be part of it, whatever you do to him, I want to be part because Aleksandr has a pending account with me, I'll let you kill him, but I just...I just want to give him back a little of the pain he gave me. Understanding crosses their mind as if a wall falls on each of them because they know that just like them, she was another victim plagued by Aleksandr although they don't know what it is. what he has done to her. When you finish with Aleksandr if you want to kill me, just make it quick, I'm good with that. When the time comes and that idiot is in our hand, you will be there in his agony doll, Oscar said slowly approaching me, like a madman. My blue eyes connect with his gray eyes, which promise me an endless number of things that I cannot achieve. Raymond came behind and turned me forcefully making me hit his hard chest, and turned my head in such a way as to look Noah in the eyes, who slowly approached us and whispered in my ear. Noah will be the one to kill you doll and she smiles as if it were nothing.PENNY POVOkay, this had been a bad idea, what the fuck was I thinking?I'm in the gym in the mansion because I had already given the location of his first property to the Blacks and they had decided that if they wanted to catch Aleksandr I should be up to par with them.Get up barbie! he yells.Philip is the one they just assigned as my bodyguard and teacher, he told me to get up while I'm still lying on the ground.Philip is not giving me any respect, I feel the metallic taste of blood in my mouth and my body needs sleep to add more effort when exercising With the blows I have received, I have accustomed to pain, but I have passed more on the ground than standing in this stupid training.I snort annoyed as I sit up slowly, the mass of my muscles weakening, Philip smiles at me mockingly when he attacks me again, getting impacted with my body and sending me to the ground, laughing at my unfortunate spectacles, doesn't he understand that I'm a beginner?"At this rate when the bullets w
PENNY POV I followed them closely, trying not to let them notice me much for any bullet that might be directed at me because of that, I ended up hitting him with my forehead and although Philip had taken care of my butt, I didn't trust him completely.I didn't know what to expect when I walked in, there were bodies on the floor, blood that splattered to the walls, and remains of brain cells.Raymond dismembered a body as if it was nothing, his body covered in blood and blood dripping from the hand, and marked everything Oscar ordered.The men painted an Ace all over the wall with the blood of the bodies that Raymond dismembered and they waited for their bosses to approach the wall.The brothers' brand LA WOLF.Each of the brothers carried a black wolf representing tattoos, the same as the one they tattooed on their neck, but their hands were stained with blood they used to write their brand, ACE.Each one signed with a different one although I had not yet deciphered which was it, if
PENNY POVAs we were going back to the mansion Oscar didn't say anything about what happened in the warehouse office, as soon as we arrived, I went to my room and listened as Raymond carried his new toy to the basement.I tried to get some sleep at first but I couldn't later I fell into a deep sleep.Dreaming about the memory of me and my mom on the chain beam while my father's men desecrated her body in such a way that they wanted to force me to look."Someday you'll be like her, girl stupid""Your mother is dead, she will never come for you, monster"The image of my bloody mother on the floor with a hole in her forehead, her blood staining my little hands while I shook her hard trying to wake her up."You're just like me, Penny."A monster," my father said.A scream of horror escapes my mouth and some hands shake me hard.They managed to wake me up, but I screamed in horror and I turned away.Blondy Take it easy! No, no, no, he will come for me, he comes for me, I sob, picking up m
PENNY POV I was down here when he screamed, he explained, you can stay here if that's what you want, maybe it will make you feel better seeing that he will receive some of the pain that he caused your mother.I analyze his words, is it ok for me to know that he wants me to stay and see how he suffers? see how he returns all the pain he caused my mom.But I don't care, no one will know what happened to him, he is all alone, the poor idiot but I dig in the hands of the wolves, no one will know that he was on his deathbed.I nod and a faint smile settles on my face, Raymond frozen a little after looking at me then he walks to the table where he puts all his instruments on one side of the table without prior notice, then places his hands on my waist and sits me down on the table.which makes me remain at the same height as his face, given that the table is quite high and my weight is not heavy, It seems to be no problem for me."He smiles slightly when he notices that I have been charmed
NOAH POVI play with a glass of whiskey in my hands, Oscar does the same next to me while we keep our gaze fixed on the stairs, waiting for the blondy that goes up with Raymond.I hope she comes out crying, or Raymond has to drag her down but what appears leaves me static.Penny and Raymond come down the stairs both laughing about something with Raymond's hands full of blood.Oscar and I were shocked by the scene in front of us, and I preferred to skip how amazing the blondy looked with her body covered in blood.looking at the awkward moment in the room, She excuses herself by saying that she is going to take a bath and sneaks over to Philip who guides her to her room.We motion for him to take a sit, we should think about putting her somewhere else in the mansion.You know she is not one hundred percent prisoner after everything.What the hell happened down there? Oscar questions.I thought she would come... different...I added.Yes, shaking or crying, not laughing like she was rid
NOAH POV The building is tall and gloomy in gray, so high that the sun can not sneak between them, leaving desolate cold alleys. Quite a few cars are found parked in the lobby all equally luxurious. There are quite a few people in the streets although my men are in charge of covering us and opening our doors passed. When I got out of the car, I turned and opened the door for the blondy, I offered her my hand and she took it immediately. What is this place? she questions me. My casino. I guide her to the largest building, the men behind us saying that there is no danger and alerts to any attack, but I still I still stay alert. Upon entering, the security guards welcomed us to the place, and they lowered their heads after looking at me, and we crossed the large metal doors. The music sounds explode, and people dressed in the most expensive clothes, playing different poker games. They turn their faces towards us, but when they recognize my face they turn away instantly. We wa
PENNY POV It's not good! it's not good at all and I shouldn't feel so comfortable with his touch, he is a murderer, he is my executioner, this is bad.Stay here Penny, he said.Or what? I asked.If you want me to teach you how to play,it's my condition, he said.I snort, but I stay in the same place, which makes his damn smile turn into mocking.Three men in suits sit at the same table, Noah's men surround the table with their backs straight and firm, Noah doesn't even flinch, he maintains his relaxed posture In the chair, his hand rests on his leg while he drums his finger on the table, his eyes look at each man evaluating them, analyzing each body expression.He makes a sign with his hand and the Dealer distributes the cards.He incorporates his body and looks at his letters.Two kings.The players review their cards and Noah speaks angrily.Look at their faces blondy, it doesn't matter the cards you have, no matter what that others have, their expression speaks for itself, he ex
OSCAR POVThe next morning, I find myself sitting at the dining table with my cup of coffee, while we wait for the blondy. Raymond and Noah fight over which of them two generates more money in the deadly cage.Penny enters the dining followed by Philip, he nods his head when he sees us and leaves. The blonde is wearing a pretty short and a simple white shirt, her feet are stained with black.I guess that she hasn't taken the clothes off since she came back from the casino.My eyes run over her body, and her legs until landing on her blue color eyes, Penny takes a seat in one of the chairs and quickly the cook puts her breakfast in front of her.We wanted to talk to you doll, I exclaimed.Her blue eyes collide with mine and she gives me a sign that she is listening, so I continue.The boys and I talked about it and we want to give you a chance here, with us.She tilts her face confused.We think that you can fit in here and you need power on your part to work.You have managed to ada
When the guy aiming at me moves slightly towards Aleksandr, my finger pulls the trigger of the gun, which shoots him in the forehead with perfect aim, placing the bullet between his eyebrows. Everything happens in slow motion, the impact of my gun resounds loudly, the man's head is thrown back by the impact of the bullet while blood splatters my hands and Philip throws himself at Aleksandr, knocking him down before he can shoot me, the gun is fired and the bullet barely hits the wall behind me when Yulia pulls my body and moves me away from the line of fire. Aleksandr struggles with Philip on the ground, and the gun is fired twice more before reacting and aiming at one of Aleksandr's legs, finally knocking him away from Philip. Fucking son of a bitch! — I growl as I run towards him and kick his face, throwing him to the ground. Yulia runs towards Philip while pressing her hands on his chest, which begins to bleed, and the brunette doesn't open his eyes anymore. Philip, come on,
PENNY POV My father's men keep firing in our direction; it's getting harder and harder to counter their fire, and we're almost out of ammunition. I only have three bullets, Yulia laments. I only have two — I huff, frustrated. The floor at my feet rumbles loudly as I'm thrown to the ground, a ringing sounds in my ears as I try to find my hearing, my eyes fail to fully focus, and a hand wraps around my neck, lifting me forcefully off the ground. There has been an explosion. Aleksandr's face begins to become clearer in my vision and his screams begin to echo in my ears. He shakes me hard, cutting off my air with his hand wrapped around my neck. You ruined everything, you took everything from me! he complains in Russian. I didn't do anything! I have nothing anymore because of you — he growls, furious; out of the corner of my eye, I see two of his men standing in front of the stairs, just as Yulia begins to slowly sit up, trying not to alert anyone — I should have killed you as
We need to get to Penny now! Raymond growls, changing the clip on his gun. I only have two clips left, I only have, Noah complains. I only have two chargers, damn it. If we cut the power, we could benefit from it. We know the building perfectly when we studied it as an option for the wedding, Raymond thinks. But nothing assures us that they didn't study the building before planning the attack, Noah refutes. It's unlikely; no one knew Penny would be here until this morning; this attack wasn't thoroughly planned — Raymond refutes. But we wouldn't just be leaving them in the dark; we don't know where Penny or Yulia is; we'd be leaving them in the dark too, and that's a double-edged sword — I refute. We don't know where Philip is, if he's not with Penny, we'd be leaving her totally exposed without power. The barrage of bullets gets closer and closer, and more of my men fall. "We don't have much time!" Raymond complains, returning the bullets. "Cut the power, it's the best op
WOLVES POV Anger bubbles in my stomach when the call comes into my phone about the current situation—they're attacking the venue Penny went to visit this morning, a hall she's still in at this moment. I give orders on my phone, just like my brothers, while I accelerate the car to get to the blondy as quickly as possible. I didn't even take my bulletproof vest, I only grabbed the nearest weapons and magazines, my mind completely focused on the purpose of getting the blondy out of there, having her safe in my arms. Fuck, I curse. Noah argues with Michael on the phone, Saying Russia is on the other side of Spain, closing an important negotiation. Helplessness seeps into his voice, given that he can't come on time; it would take a couple of hours by plane, and it's not possible. His tone is pure anger when he knows his girlfriend and sister are being attacked right now, but Noah promises to get the blondy out of that room safe and sound, along with Yulia. The car's tires squeal
You look divine! Aunty Kristen wastes no time getting up from her seat and wrapping me in her arms — Oh my God, my kids are going to die when they see you, you look incredible, Penny. Tears blur my eyes when I look in the mirror; I do look amazing; this is the dress, it is. You look beautiful, Penny, Scarlet approaches, letting me hold little Cameron while she wraps me in her arms. Yulia also wraps her arms around me, smiling at how spectacular my dress is, and Vittoria raises her wine glass in my direction while smiling at me in approval. I want you to try on your dress, everything has to be perfect. Yulia nods at my words as she heads into the fitting room to try on her dress. After all, she'll be my bridesmaid, and her dress will match the decor of the room. A little nostalgia settles in my body, I wish Lia were here. I never imagined getting married, however, if one day I did, I always imagined Lia by my side. Thanks to the money and power my fiances wields in Spain, ever
PENNY POV I was walking through one of the rooms the wedding planner was showing me while I was looking at the venue, but I wasn't quite convinced. She was a fussy bride, I'd discovered. Most weddings were in light tones, and that was fine, but it wasn't what I wanted for myself, this hall full of light colors wasn't meeting my expectations. Yulia walked beside me with a mocking smile on her face; she knew I wasn't liking the hall at all. Yulia had become a good friend in recent weeks, It had been three weeks since Arabella's death. These last three weeks, I have gone out with the Russians on several occasions. When her brothers met with mine and my fiance's, she was the one I ended up hanging out with. She had become my friend, as well as my sister-in-law, and her relationship with Michael seemed to be going spectacularly. My brother was truly infatuated with the youngest of the Ivanovs, and she seemed to be on the same wavelength. Finally, the Pakhan and the
Noah and Raymond aim at Arabella, and I see several red dots glowing on her body, in the sight of all my snipers. "With me," I order, starting to walk toward the ship, escorted by all of my fiancee's men. My heels echo on the wooden floorboards; Arabella's eyes meet mine, a look filled with hatred and contempt when I reach my three men; they have lowered their weapons, not necessarily with all the snipers; they surround me automatically. "You treacherous bitch," I mock as I stare at her. "Do you know what a terrible mother you are? Attacking your child is despicable." Fuck you, she growls at me, holding his arm with his other hand as the blood continues to flow. I hate bitches like you, who take advantage of their children, that boy will be much better off without you — I approach her. You remind me so much of my father; I guess I'll take some of that frustration out on you; after all, you are similar trash. I turn to look at the Colombian drug lord, who clutches the child in
PENNY POV I paced back and forth as my phone was on the coffee table in the living room, its screen lit up with three red dots glowing in the center. The location of the brothers. They weren't moving, two hours and a little more had passed, and they still hadn't moved from that damned spot where I knew Manolo and Arabella were. If you keep walking in circles, you'll make a hole in the ground, — my brother mocked. He was sitting at the back of the room, casually sipping a glass of whiskey. Yulia was sitting on his lap, running her hands through Michael's short blond hair, messing it up, but he didn't seem to care at all. They looked cute together, but I still couldn't concentrate. They're not moving from there, I complained. I've seen that. They've been there for a long time. The time frame they gave us was three hours, Michael commented that we must wait for that time to pass and then act. There's only a quarter of an hour left, I complained again. Yes, but until that d
Manolo is waiting in one of his warehouses, we plan to arrive unexpectedly. He's hoping to meet up with Raymond alone for the arrival of new merchandise. What he doesn't know is that the three of us will be going with one goal in mind: to get out of there with Arabella. It's an easy mission, we plead with the Colombian's good judgment and his principles regarding treason so that he will hand over his beloved wife to us. Each of us wears a small tracker embedded in our wrist, connected and sending signals via satellite to the blondy's cell phone. She will stay at the mansion with her brother, Yulia Ivanova, and Philip, followed by my best men. Just the three of us will be heading to the mission with the rest of our men. There was no need to ask the other families for help, with the only promise being that Arabella's head would be hanging from the top of some building early tomorrow. We set off for one of Barcelona's docks, our only option is to finally stop Arabella, who woul
