CIELLO POVI said nothing. Not because I had nothing to say, trust me I had a lot. But I knew all the words that would leave my mouth were going to determine my fate. And at this point, I wasn’t sure if it would be ideal to die by HER hand, or at least by one of the bosses. I knew my boundaries, I knew where to draw the line and where to cross it, right about now, I knew it intimately that I was going to get in deep shit.One way or the other.“Hey you, ugly pants. What’s your name again?” I snorted laughter as she addressed the Mexican guy seating in the front seat with me, entrusted by Xander to protect her. There were four of us, and that was supposed to be low-key.“Chino, Senora.” He replied looking out through the binoculars in his hands. He wasn’t really ugly, he just had an awful style of dressing and heck. The name was fuckin’ befitting.“Okay. Now tell me this, Chino; can I trust you?” “Of course, senora.” He replied almost instantly, and I saw how hard he was trying to prov

LORENZO POV“Anything suspicious?”“Not up until now,” I replied softly to Xander while managing to keep my gaze at ease, roaming around easily and feigning surprise and awe, while in reality, I was trying to make out something. “Then we should climb up to our alcove,” Verzi called out, and I nodded following him closely behind. We climbed the stairs that took us to the second floor of the club, where the VIP booths were located overlooking the buzzing dance floor below. The whole club was on cloud nine, with loud pop music pouring out of the music system causing everyone to go wild. People were whooping themselves and gliding against wet, sweaty bodies on the dance floor. The heavy stench of sweat, alcohol, and cocaine reigned in the air. I may have been mistaken, but I could have sworn I caught a whiff scent of sex in the air. Chicago was indeed was it was known for. The Sin City.We arrived in our booth and barmaids were quick to be on our beg-and-call, ready to serve us rotten.

XANDER POV“They are expecting their shipment on Tuesday. We got the inside information.”Ciello informed standing in front of the three of us. We were back at the grand hotel after a long night, and I would rather say, whatever Matteo said to the boys was well shitty because they have been like dollop heads all the way back, refusing to talk to anyone about anything and leaving me all alone and bored. “And how did you manage to get it?” Lorenzo was surprisingly calm, considering the fact that Vernero was about to make someone shit bricks was rather puzzling. He directed the question to Ciello who fidgeted for a second, then glanced with his eyes screaming ‘HELP ME’. I thinned my eyes at him trying to figure out what the hell they have been up to the whole night when their job was to keep Leigh-Ari safe, and hidden. Or at least that is how they were all instructed.“Ciello?”“Well…” He mumbled glancing back at me, and this time, I cocked my brow at him. I was damn sure that what he wa

XANDER POVI wanted nothing more than to throw the phone somewhere in the bushes where we were hiding, or capture a motherfucker and claw their skin off from how irritated I was. But I couldn’t, not this time or all of this would go down the drain.But still, what the hell was she thinking? How could she insist on coming here when she knew damn well that it was going to get bloody? Because one way or another, there was going to be some serious shooting and loss of lives. Feds or no feds. I know that rationally, we had to leave the whole operation in the hands of the feds and let them take care of everything, but these polished bastards knew no cap about how the mafia world ran, so I didn’t trust them to capture bloody Russians.But then she… Fuckin’ hell. If something happened to her, I was going to kill someone. Blood cold. I leaned against the tree and willed myself to calm the fuck down. She was Leigh-Ari for goodness sake. No words said by me or angels were going to be enough to

LORENZO POV“Mi dispiace, what the fuck did you say?”My hand paused midair as I was about to take a gulp of my drink. The guy dressed in black stepped further into the room and nodded at both Ava and Val who were nestled on the couch.“Xander got shot, but we managed to seize the Russians. Matteo is in captive as well as Julia. Some of them are dead, and the rest are in the hands of the feds.” He repeated his words for the second.“Xander, how bad is he?”“He got shot in the shoulder, so it’s not fatal.” Ari will sit beside herself if she hears this.“Okay.” I replied shortly and the downed the rest of the whiskey before staring into the raging flames in the fire place. My mind wandered of all the times I have stayed behind while my brother did the dirty work. One thing I knew is that he would rather choke on a dick than to have my hands sullied and soiled. He preferred it when I stayed on the top, dealing with the shit from the civilized side. I never fought him, because I wanted to

LEIGH-ARI POVThe whole charade had been without a flaw. It was almost impossible to just sit down and relax over a glass of Champaign to celebrate the victory because something about it didn’t feel quite right. I hated the feeling that gnawed deep inside me. It was as if the whole thing had been some shitty paranormal story where fairies saved us from all shit. And this was the mafia. It was as real as it ever gets.When arriving in Beverly Hills, I instructed Xander’s men to keep our little trophies in the basement and give them enough water to survive the night. I was drained, too tired to even work on them. So as soon as we hopped off the big cars, I headed straight to the house without glaring back, only to run smack-dab into Laura who made it a deal to engulf me in the biggest hug.“Oh, my gaaah. I have been dying here without you.” Couldn’t she just shut up? Like for a second?I patted her back lightly before withdrawing from her so loving embrace, and that is when everyone got

LEIGH-ARI POV“You are so beautiful.”Someone purred, I don’t know who. Because there were just too many of them fawning all over my body and all of their touches were like a drug that sent my mind into limbo, driving me insane.“So fuckin’ beautiful.” Another one chimed, and I found myself quaking against the bed trying to get a grip of reality. But I couldn’t, not with them all over me like this. The lust laced in their sultry voices as they purred to me softly was enough to make me shiver with pleasure and utmost need. I was in need of love, THEIR love, and all the promises it carried.A hot, wet tongue darted out and licked lazily around my puckered nipple, wrenching weird little cries from my throat, cries I never knew I was capable of making. It was all too good, and in that haze of lust, I tried making them out, because no matter what, they were different in the way they touched me, yet undeniably and agreeably efficient into making me the horniest bitch on earth.“Please…” I mo

XANDER POVWhen dawn broke over the horizon, we were barely done with our MAKE THEM PAY 101 operation. But I tell you, the whole basement was in a nice shade of red, covered completely in blood. I got up from my seat and gave myself a nice stretch, which made my bones crack in all delicious ways. Damn, I have never felt this… enlightened. This enthralled. I cast a glance at Vernero to find him wiping his hands with some cloth he cut off Matteo’s shirt. His face was rock hard, and with blood stains all over those tattoos, he looked like the devil himself, and for a single second, a sizzle of tremor coursed through my entire body. I walked to where Matteo was lying, with his body… short I say, his once-perfect body mauled to perfection. Guys, after God, fear Vernero. I am sure even the devil down in the innermost pits of hell cursed every time he woke up to take a piss. That man, yikes! Even words fail me.I walked to where Matteo was lying, trembling from a different kind of pain,

EPILOGUE*ONE YEAR LATER*LEIGH-ARI POV“The transplant was a great success and there were no signs of tissue rejection. We will be transferring her to the ward for further monitoring until she is good to leave the hospital.” The words rolled on my tongue smoothly as I kept my eyes on the folks in front of me. The small crowd broke into cries of happiness and expressed their heartfelt thanks to me, for saving the life of their loved one. The smiles on their faces were enough to light up the dark world. I left Stephanie with them and walked back to my office where I plopped myself on the small couch before letting my body relax after six whooping hours of surgery.My eyes flew across the office and landed on a big portrait on the wall, a picture of me and Laura that was taken when we were in Dubai, right before the twins found us, and turned my ass pink. A pang of dull ache hit me inside, prompting me to shut my eyes and focus on the small voice in my head that never died. It has been

LORENZO POVThug life.It was a different kind of fairytale they never showed you in movies. Or better yet, the ‘other’ side of fairytales they never delved deeper to portray. And now that I think of it, this world was indeed filled with more dipshits than I can possibly comprehend. For starters, in those little movies they all crowd together to watch, they never really tell the history of the villains. I get it, they are villains, they are the bad guys, the hated guys, and honestly; the reason behind so much hatred is understandable. But then again, it’s a little unfair that we never get to see their whole stories. So they go rogue, wanting to tell their own story, leaving behind them a trail of blood and open graves in the process.I was a villain myself, one of the bad guys. I was so used to this life that I was no longer phased by the idea of being normal. Like waking up and taking a train to work in the morning, and coming back at night to find a hearty dinner prepared by my wif

LEIGH-ARI POVThe rest of the day was spent with us slithering in the comfort of our bed, in a giant tangled mess of limbs. I was plowed to a point where I felt like my hoochie was on fire, scorching every little soft flesh to the inside. But luckily, the boys were lenient with me and didn’t try to overuse me. So we stayed there, just enjoying each other. The atmosphere created its own language, and they translated it. Everything was just so serene, so calm.And I finally like myself again. And damn, life has been like hell. I forgot how good it felt to just give up control and hand it over to somebody else. To be able to submit and be down to my knees, while being dominated in every possible way. It is true that even a superwoman sometimes needs a superman. And why wouldn’t I use them when I have three of them?“If this is how we make up, can we at least fight every time?” Xander purred hiding his face in the cradle between my boobs. A very unladylike snort came from me as I shook m

XANDER POVBack at the mansion, the tension between Ari and Verzi was so thick you could cut it with a night. For a successful mission like that one, you would have expected champaigns and a night of hot drunk sex till we couldn’t walk. Not only did we sabotage Oleg’s shipment that cost him millions, but we also managed to rescue some of the shit stashed in there and claimed it ourselves. And Enzo did as instructed by donating a million as soon as the word got out. I mean we were all righteous people who took care of their own, and nothing was even tracked back to us. Not that it would anyway, since we owned half of America as well as every inch of the public department that dealt with a lot of shit.Police, some media outlets, you name them.But all of that sense of triumph didn’t even make up for what had happened. And I hated every passing second of it. This wasn’t how it was supposed to be, this wasn’t how we were supposed to love. A day without talking to each other meant a dead

LEIGH-ARI POV Ava’s name faded with the wind, and nobody ever spoke of her ever again. I was afraid of what her death may do to Scar and what that may mean to his loyalty to us, but time proved that Scar was in this for life and there was nothing that could possibly happen in this life that would make him walk away from Alexander.“I owe him my life, he became the family I never had and gave me everything I have ever wished for.” Those are his words, and he lived the rest of his life trying to prove them. I felt stupid for even questioning his loyalty in the first place, but I couldn’t be sure, more because I had his sister’s blood on my hands. As much as we ignored it and never brought it up, Ava was his sister, they were blood. And blood is thicker than water.A few days went by with us watching over Oleg and his operations. We didn’t want to go head-on like headless chickens with no plan. Oleg was as cunning as it gets and I was not going to let him sidestep us and have us f

LEIGH-ARI POVI was in awe. I never knew that there were some people in this cruel world, who were very capable of living a lie and under a certain delusion for their entire life, believing that little voice in their heads while it continued spewing nonsense right into their brains for all days of their lives.But our dear Ava was living proof that some people, were just a pile of nutcases with nothing but crap running in their minds all day long. I seriously couldn’t bring myself to believe that she had fallen for that crap we said with Xander back at her hiding spot. Even an idiot would have figured out that the situation wasn't as it seems.She was a fuckin' traitor, who was on a run. Our sudden appearance had to say something to her. But nope. It didn't. For someone who had spent years in this kind of life, she was sure as hell as easy as it gets. Imagine if it had been Oleg who got to her... I went there expecting resistance, a bit of a fight; bloodied lips and aching muscles as

AVA POVThe phone dropped from my ear onto the table in front of me and all of a sudden, there wasn’t enough space in the vast roadside restaurant where I was. I shrunk into the corner booth where I was sitting and gently pulled over my scarf and slipped on my sunglasses.I managed to steer clear of the crowded places for 5 days, and in those 5 days, I was successful. I didn’t want to be found right now when I still hadn’t made a plan about my next move. Only God knows what was going to happen when they find where I am. So without further ado, I slipped the note into the bill and took off.I was the master of disguise, even if they had located me, they were going to have a hard time pinpointing me because I blended so damn well within the crowd. Walking to the small parking bay in front of the restaurant, I fished out the keys to the stolen Toyota Camry before hurriedly pulling out of the parking bay.My heart was pounding crazy, and it was as if it was inside of my mouth from how awf

SCAR POVWith a bitter taste in my mouth and a heavy heart, I stood on the terrace by the second floor and watched as the black G-wagon stretched out of the estate, taking off with a speed of light. I swallowed down the bile that was dancing on the surface of my mouth threatening to spill.The past few days have been nothing but a nauseating roller coaster of emotions, I have felt things I haven’t felt in all my life and it was fuckin' enough. I couldn't take up any more shit than I already have. Because within a mega pint of them all, there was this strong force that made me feel like I was sinking. My whole body was stiff and so were my insides. I don’t even know what it was, but it sucked elephant balls.I tried to accept with everything inside of me, to come to terms that Laura was gone and that there would never be one like her. But the more I thought of her, the more the hatred I had for Ava piled up inside of me. She was blood, we shared the same rotten womb and I watched her t

LEIGH-ARI POVThe day I rued the most arrived eventually. I woke up with a splitting headache and I was so sore and nauseous that I hated everyone and everything. I couldn't eat anything because whatever went into my mouth tasted so damn bitter that it made my stomach churn painfully. In a matter of days, I had lost a great deal of weight, and I am sure as hell I was no different from Morticia from Addams family. The cartoon version of course!Without further ado, I jumped into the shower and tried to keep myself on my feet the entire time while I cleaned up. It was nearly impossible,I was weak, my body was trembling violently because I haven't had a proper meal since 2000-and never. All I ever did was drink my own tears time and again. And the headache, it made me feel like I had died and sprung back to life.I was not feeling well at all.After washing up, I walked into the closet and pulled on my white slim-fitting jumpsuit and a white coat. I pulled on the white knee-length boot
