Nora P.O.V

Pushing myself up from the cold, hard floor under their unrelenting gazes, I forced a casual shrug, dusting off my clothes as if I had simply tripped on my way in. My mind raced for an exit strategy, but I kept my expression neutral, my lips curving into an easy, nonchalant smile.

“Ahh, I think I lost my way,” I said, tilting my head as if the situation wasn’t as dire as it clearly was. With an exaggerated motion, I pointed to the solid concrete wall behind me. “I was actually going that way.” I added a small, sheepish chuckle, hoping to sell the illusion. “I think I need to go. You must be busy dealing with some business.”

Without waiting for a response, I turned on my heel, aiming for the nearest exit only to be stopped in my tracks. A solid, immovable force slammed into me, knocking me back slightly. My hands instinctively came up to steady myself, but as I looked up, I realized that what I had hit wasn’t a wall. It was one of Robert’s men, a massive figure who loomed

  • Agent 64   Chapter -13: My peace is going to live short

    Nora P.O.V. It was late at night , laying on my bed. My mind drifted in an old memory. ‘I was seven years old again, back in the foster home. Small and vulnerable, I was surrounded by the older kids who took sadistic pleasure in tormenting me. Their faces twisted with cruel delight, and their eyes gleamed with malice. I was there walking and talking punching bag. “Look who we have here,” one of them sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. “The little princess thinks she can hide from us.” I was hiding in the old storage room in fear. I was extremely scared of those kids. A strong hand grabbed the nape of my neck, yanking me forward with a jolt of pain. My heart raced as panic surged through me, and I tried to pull away, but another pair of hands gripped my wrists, wrenching them painfully behind my back. I was immobilised, helpless in their grip. “Please,” I whimpered, my voice barely a whisper. “Please, let me go.” “Shut up!” a boy barked, shoving my head toward a larg

  • Agent 64   Chapter -14: Same old story of hell

    Nora P.O.V The room was thick with tension as I approached the conference door, my badge in hand. I swiped it across the scanner, and the door clicked open. I stepped in, the usual hum of the fluorescent lights casting an unwelcoming glow over the sterile conference room. Inside, my seniors were already seated, their faces as cold and sharp as the steel chairs they occupied. Lee stood beside the glass table, his expression a strange blend of worry and frustration. No one greeted me; there was no need. This is going to be the same old story of hell. I slid into a chair near the end of the table, placing my bag beside me, my expression neutral. The silence stretched as I waited, steadying myself for the scolding that was inevitably coming my way. Agent Thompson, the oldest and most formidable of the group, finally broke the silence. “What were you thinking?” His voice was a low, harsh growl, cutting through the quiet with the precision of a blade. I knew better than to answer immediat

    Nora P.O.V As soon as I left the conference room, I made my way to the main office to upload the final report into the database. I began to type without noticing how much time had passed. I had hardly eaten before coming here.Just as I was finishing up, the landline on my desk rang, interrupting the quiet hum of the computer. I picked up the receiver, pressing it between my ear and shoulder while continuing to type. After a few clicks I opened another file on the computer to go through the details of a particular case.When I reached the part I was looking for I closed the file and resumed writing again . “This is Detective Stevenson,” I answered, glancing at the clock on the corner of my computer as I spoke. For a moment, there was only silence on the other end. I frowned, repeating, “Hello?” with more insistence, my tone sharpening. Finally, a voice came through, shaky and hesitant. “There... there is a dead... body. I found a... a dead body... buried in the soil. Only... only the

    Lily P.O.V I stepped out of the college building, the weight of my backpack shifting slightly on my shoulder as I walked alongside Emily, my best friend. The sun hung low in the sky, casting golden hues across the sprawling campus. A soft breeze rustled through the trees, carrying with it the distant laughter of students eager to start their weekend. The air was thick with excitement, groups of students eagerly discussing their plans for the Friday night party in the next town, their voices animated with anticipation. Unlike them, I had no such plans. My night was already set: a cozy date with my couch, a bowl of popcorn, and a lineup of crime documentaries. If my brothers even suspected that I was sneaking off to one of these wild college parties, they wouldn’t just lecture me ,they would probably lock me in a tower like some medieval princess. And the worst part? They would find a way to do it. Emily let out a dramatic sigh, rolling her eyes as she nudged me playfully. “I still d

    Nora P.O.V “Doctor Stephen has called you in the lab”. My intercom buzzed with the voice of a new intern from the lab, making me stop typing. I pinched the bridge of my nose and got up. I could feel my headache coming back because of the lack of sleep. From the last two days we have found two other bodies, murdered in similar ways just like the first murder only the locations were different. Their faces were beyond destroyed to be recognised . We have not identified the bodies yet, have gone through the list of people that have gone missing in the last three days but did not come across one description similar to the dead bodies . After turning off my laptop I grabbed my phone and left the floor to go to the other part of the office . I called Lee on the way. “Meet me on the sixth floor”. “I am coming.” I disconnected and headed towards the elevator. I pressed the top button and waited for the elevator to come. A few minutes later the elevator pinged and the doors opened. I nodded

  • Agent 64   Chapter -18: The mission went wrong

    Nora P.O.V The midnight moon beat down relentlessly on the docks, casting sharp shadows across the rusting cargo containers and the cold, grey water of the harbor. The salty tang of the sea mixed with the faint, lingering scent of fish and diesel, creating an atmosphere that was both oppressive and charged with tension. I sat in the driver’s seat of the unmarked car, fingers tapping rhythmically against the steering wheel as my eyes scanned the area, taking in every movement, every suspicious figure lingering near the shipping crates. The steady ticking of the clock on the dashboard only seemed to stretch out the uncertainty of what was about to unfold, each second a reminder that we were teetering on the edge of a long-awaited breakthrough or another failure. Beside me, Lee remained still, his gaze sharp behind the dark lenses of his aviator glasses. His posture was tense, his muscles coiled with restrained energy. In the backseat, two other members of our team silently checked th

  • Agent 64   Chapter-19: The search

    Nora P.O.V We parked outside a small, nondescript restaurant, nestled quietly in one of the city’s more secluded neighbourhoods. Its faded exterior and plain sign made it blend seamlessly into the background. The buildings near the diner looked like they were going to fall any minute. They were hardly holding up. This place is a dump. This was where Rob worked before he vanished. “Is this the place?” Lee asked, his gaze lingering on the modest building as he scanned its exterior with his usual alertness. “Yeah, this is it,” I confirmed, shutting off the engine. Together, we stepped out of the car, the cool evening air brushing against us as the sun dipped lower, casting long shadows across the narrow street. We made our way to the entrance, and I took a moment to mentally prepare for what we might learn inside. The interior was dimly lit, filled with the quiet ambiance of a restaurant that had not been touched by time, and had seen many tough days. A handful of patrons were scatter

  • Agent 64   Chapter-20: The Apartment

    Nora P.O.V We pulled up to a weathered apartment building on the bad side of town. The streets were cracked, littered with broken bottles and crumpled paper bags, and the walls of the nearby buildings were covered in fading graffiti. The people here looked rough, wearing old clothes and eyeing us with suspicion as we parked the car. A group of men huddled around a broken fire hydrant, speaking in hushed voices, watching us as we walked past. The stairs creaked beneath our feet as we ascended to the fourth floor. The walls were stained with grime and covered in old posters and faded gang tags. Paint was peeling off in large flakes, revealing the mould underneath. The air was thick with humidity and the smell of sweat, smoke, and something else I didn’t want to think about. “This place is a dump,” Lee muttered, glancing around at this shady area of the city. “Yeah,” I agreed, keeping my voice low. “Let’s just get this over with.” When we finally reached the fourth floor, we sto

  • Agent 64   Epilogue

    Robert P.O.VThree Years LaterA cold wind swept through the empty cemetery, ruffling my hair as I knelt down, placing two bouquets on the weathered tombstones before me. The scent of fresh lilies and roses mixed with the crisp autumn air, a stark contrast to the lingering memories buried beneath the soil.I exhaled slowly, my breath visible in the chilly air. It was hard to believe three years had passed since I left Chicago, the mafia, and everything tied to the DiFronzo name. My father’s greed had destroyed too many lives, and when he died, the name died with him. Aldo's reign ended that day too along with the rest of them.The DiFronzo mafia was no more.Now, I was going with the name Liam James, a man free from the blood-soaked legacy of my past. My siblings, Nora, Cyber, and I had erased every trace of our existence, changing our identities and building a new life in Los Angeles. No more hiding from enemies. No more looking over our shoulders. For the first time, we were truly f

  • Agent 64   Chapter-100:The End

    Nora P.O.VThe ship was a floating palace. The main deck, where the ceremony was set, was transformed into an elegant wedding venue. Rows of white chairs with gold trimmings faced a raised platform, where an altar stood beneath an arch of white roses and ivy. Fairy lights twinkled above like scattered stars, woven through the railings and draped along the ceiling. Round tables lined the sides, covered in pristine white tablecloths, adorned with golden candelabras and delicate glassware. The sea breeze carried the scent of fresh flowers, mixing with the salty air.A large dance floor stretched across the center, polished to a shine, reflecting the glow of the chandeliers hanging from the ship’s canopy. The bar area was stocked with premium liquor, arranged like jewels on mirrored shelves. Every detail screamed luxury, meant to impress the high-status guests that filled the space.But beneath the opulence, danger lurked.I moved through the crowd, blending in my black and white uniform.

  • Agent 64   Chapter-99:The Operation

    Nora P.O.V "This is the final phase of our operation," Director Hastings began. "We have spent months tracking down the real mastermind behind the murders, the illegal trades, and the setup against the DiFronzo family. They wanted law enforcement to take down the DiFronzos for them, and when that did not work, they set their sights on wiping out the family themselves on a damn cruise ship, no less." A murmur passed through the room. Everyone had read the mission files, but nothing is going to make this operation easier. A mass execution at a wedding, orchestrated with such precision, was ruthless even by mafia standards. "The plan remains the same," Hastings continued. "We infiltrate as wedding staff. There will be real employees working alongside us, and some of the guests will be innocent. We do not move until they do. The last thing we need is to blow our cover too soon. Many of the men working under the DiFronzo name actually report to our target. We cannot afford a misstep.”

  • Agent 64   Chapter-98:The truth got out.

    Nora P.O.V My feet barely touched the ground as I hurried up the grand staircase, taking two steps at a time. My flight had landed just thirty minutes ago, and I hadn’t even stopped to catch my breath. There was no time. I needed to tell Robert what Aldo was planning. The moment the taxi dropped me off outside the DiFronzo mansion, I rushed to the door, rapping my knuckles against it sharply. The maid who answered looked at me in confusion, likely startled by my urgency. "Where’s Robert?" I demanded. She hesitated for only a second before responding, “Sir is in his office.” I did not wait for anything else. Turning on my heels, I strode down the corridor, my pulse hammering against my ribs. The heavy doors of Robert’s office loomed ahead, and without a second thought, I twisted the handle and barged in. "Robert, Aldo is—" My words died on my tongue as I took in the scene before me. Robert sat behind his massive desk, his fingers laced together as he leaned slightly forward, hi

    Nora P.O.V I unzipped my suitcase and pulled out the outfit I had chosen for tonight was a fitted black top, dark pants, and a baseball cap. I am probably going to undress but it is the least of my worries. It was a night for business. I needed to stay unnoticed, to slip in and out without drawing attention. Lifting the small black bag from my suitcase, I ran my fingers over its surface. Inside, the blue diamonds rested like a fortune in my grasp. It feels like yesterday when I stole them from under DiFronzo's nose . Just in few months a lot has changed. I can not believe that just in a short span of time I am able to fall in love and break my heart. The family that I wanted to bring down, I began to protect them but a lot of growing had also happened on my part . They did not deserve my hate for my uncle's death when they were not even involved other than Robert Sr. I hate that bastard . If everything goes as planned, by the end of the night, they would be sold, and I would walk a

  • Agent 64   Chapter-96:The Store

    Nora P.O.V It had been almost a week since Robert’s engagement, and in that time, we barely acknowledged each other. We kept our distance, stayed professional, and avoided unnecessary conversations. The house felt off like something was out of place, yet no one dared to question it. Stella had almost moved into the DiFronzo mansion, flaunting her presence in a way that made my stomach turn. Meanwhile, Robert practically buried himself in work, meeting with no one unless absolutely necessary. Nothing made sense anymore. Now, in his office at DiFronzo Enterprises, I stood behind his chair as he spoke with an accountant, discussing the expenditure of a recent project. Out of all the businesses under the DiFronzo name, this was one of their legal ones, a clean investment. Robert listened with a detached expression, signing papers without looking up. The accountant left after the meeting, carrying the finalized reports. As soon as the door clicked shut, Robert turned toward me. “Patri

    Nora P.O.V I ran my fingers down the fabric of my dress, smoothing out the silk as I gazed at my reflection in the full-length mirror. The black and red gown hugged my figure perfectly, the intricate floral lace carving delicate patterns over the sheer black overlay, while the royal red silk underneath added a touch of richness. The detachable black skirt trailed behind me like a shadow, enhancing my every step with an air of mystery. My dark waves cascaded over my shoulders, shining under the dim glow of the vanity lights like a river kissed by moonlight. I had returned to the DiFronzo estate this morning after completing the case, though formalities had dragged the process out longer than expected. I hadn’t spoken to Robert properly since I left a few days ago. Our last interaction had been brief, filled with unspoken words and unreadable expressions. Lily had barely given me a moment to settle in before dragging me off for dress shopping, her excitement contagious despite my exh

  • Agent 64   Chapter-94: Rescue

    Nora P.O.V The room was steeped in darkness, the kind that felt suffocating, pressing in from all sides. The only source of illumination was a weak, flickering bulb hanging from the ceiling, its light barely reaching the corners of the space. The bulb swung slightly, creaking on its loose fixture, casting long, shifting shadows over the stacks of cardboard boxes piled against the walls. The air inside was thick with dust and the stale scent of sweat and old wood. Each breath I took felt heavy, tainted by something metallic smell. The distant echoes of gunfire and chaos outside barely reached this place, but even with all of that, nothing in this room disturbed me more than the sight before me. Layson’s arms and legs were tightly restrained with thick ropes, the fibers biting into his skin. His face was a mess of bruises, his right eye swollen, his lip split open, and a deep gash above his brow left a jagged streak of blood trailing down the side of his face. The blood had begun to d

  • Agent 64   Chapter-93:The Warehouse Raid

    Nora P.O.V The warehouse loomed ahead, its steel exterior bathed in the pale glow of the distant streetlights. A thick, eerie silence blanketed the area, broken only by the occasional rustle of the wind against the stacked shipping containers. The air was tense, charged with the weight of the mission ahead. Inside, Layson and his son were being held captive by the Cutlers, and there was no telling what condition they were in. Our van was parked a few yards away, tucked into the shadows, where Cyber and his team monitored the interior movements. The dim glow of their screens illuminated their faces, their fingers flying over keyboards as they fed us real-time updates through our Bluetooth devices. “Heat signatures confirm at least two dozen men inside,” Cyber’s voice crackled in my ear. “More might be deeper in. No sign of Layson or the child yet, but we are tracking.” I nodded, my grip tightening around my firearm as I surveyed the agents standing with me. I had already distribut
