LEIGH-ARI POV“SHUT DOWN ALL THE EXITS. I want men on every border that leaves America. Land, water, and air. That wench should not leave this place.” Xander barked into the phone before throwing it on the table. More like, tossing it onto the table, and then abruptly rubbing his palms against his face roughly.And seriously, I didn’t fuckin’ get it. I mean why now? Why lose their shit and have their balls entangled with their fat cocks right now when I have been telling them time and again that if we didn’t deal with this any sooner, the shit is going to hit the fan. They didn’t listen, talked about time not being right, and shit. Now look, we were literally in a shit mud and they were only realizing it just now?“What’s the plan again?” I asked in a sing-song, trying to hide the little glee in my voice. I wasn’t happy, don’t get me wrong. I was just pissed that they were only realizing how much this whole thing was fucked up.“I am riding down to Mexico to court some cartels into ou
VERNERO POVClosing my phone, I looked around at the small group of men who were going with me down to Mexico, getting ready and piling in their own cars. It was going to be a long day, a fuckin long mission of trying to yank the bone off the dog’s mouth.But then again, it was either this, or we were going to have to watch Oleg spreading his shit and not really paying for all the sins he had committed. I was Vernero for crying out loud, I made sure to punish the sinners and delivered them safely to the land of Hades. Although things do get messy from time to time, but I fuckin’ take pride in what I do.The devil should fuckin’ kow-tow and express his heartfelt gratitude.“Ready to rock and roll?” Xander stepped out of the house, looking… relaxed. He was fuckin dressed in jeans while I was clasped with gun belts and knives beneath the black suit I was wearing. Did he think we were going to some sort of a fun play?“Are YOU ready to rock and roll?” I asked securing the straps of my glo
LEIGH-ARI POVThe adrenalin made me all hot and sweaty. I wanted to calm the fuck down because there was no way I was going to pull this if I kept on sweating buckets. I had to do this.“I don’t think Julia kept it here. Although she is a bitch, she is not stupid.” Laura confessed as we sat in the parking lot watching as people entered and exited the building of the biggest Organ Bank in California. “I know. But there’s only one way to find out. Even if it’s not here, at least there are clues.” I cocked my gun and thrust it into the back of my waistband, then covered it with the white coat I had on.“Have I ever told you how this badass bitch looks on you? You are glowing.” She gushed, staring at me from the corner of her eye. I smiled and then opened the door.“Let’s go bomb the place,” I said with a smile, and she fuckin’ grinned. Walking to the driver’s side, I stopped to give Chicho some instructions.“We are going to go in there and if we need help, I will send the signal. Apart
XANDER POV‘THIS IS JAMES FRANCO REPORTING LIVE FROM FIGUEROA STREET, LOA ANGELES WHERE THERE HAS BEEN REPORTEDLY, AN ACT OF TERRORISM,“Man you gotta see this.” I shifted in my chair slightly so Vernero who was sitting opposite me, could see from the tablet in my hand.‘THE BIGGEST ORGAN BANK IN CALIFORNIA WAS REPORTEDLY SET ABLAZE NOT LONG AGO, AND THE FIREFIGHTERS ARE TRYING ALL IN THEIR POWER TO SAVE THE BUILDING, AND LIVES TRAPPED INSIDE. SO FAR, THERE HAVE BEEN ZERO RESCUES. THE SOURCE OF THE ACCIDENT HAS NOT BEEN FOUND, BUT THE NEARBY WITNESSES REPORTED AN UNUSUAL ARRIVAL OF MEN DRESSED IN BLACK, WHO LOOKED SLIGHTLY OUT OF PLACE. RIGHT NOW, THE POLICE ARE WORKING TOGETHER WITH THE AUTHORITIES TO NAIL DOWN…’Not wanting to hear any word any longer, I shut the tablet and threw it on the other seat, then glanced ahead where Vernero stared with wide, unreadable eyes. I looked at the rest of the cabin to find people staring at their phones as they listened to what the news had to sa
VERNERO POVI finally understood why I was so reluctant to leave.My little kitten had her claws out in the open, and whoever got in her way bled dry. It was one thing I have grown so fond of when it came to her. Although she had transformed into this big bad queen bitch herself, she still wore her heart on the sleeves and no amount of drugs and diamonds were ever going to change that.She may be the queen on top of the world ruling the earth and everything on it, but when someone came crying to her lap, she would help them in a heartbeat and avenge the wronged ones. That was just Leigh-Ari and there was nothing we were ever going to do to take her heart from her.But what she did today, heck! It was straight out of the hostory books! It was all I could think about the whole flight to Mexico.The plane landed in Sinaloa a little after 3 pm, and from our source, the big bad boys of Mexico were somewhere in the neighborhood settling some trade deals. Before stepping off the planes, eve
LEIGH-ARI POVTime seemed to be having a mind of its own because like the wind, two days had gone by since the boys went on the adventure of their own. And of course, the tabloids and the rest of America were still shaken by the bombing of the organ bank. It was a whole uproar and the case was forwarded to the higher-ups since they suspected an act of terrorism.To add fuel to the burning fire, I anonymously tipped the FBI and the CIA with the photos of Julia and the ones of Oleg I found online. Thanks to Robert, the whole thing became a very big deal.It is funny how everything was in this country. People died in the streets in the pool of their own blood. But if anyone whispered something about terrorism, I tell you, even the president himself got onto his feet and said something. It was crazy! And it was none of my business now that I had the higher-ups handling Oleg on some national level. He was as good as dead because they were hunting him and his bimbo of a wife like dogs.On t
LEIGH-ARI POVA full week had gone by since Laura’s grand real and eventually; my men came back from their little wide globetrotting. Including the man in question. Of course, I did not break the news to the boys right away because they were too busy frolicking around my nooks and crannies to even think about anything else, totally driving me insane and out of my mind with their bodies. While I had a lot of things to do including the fact that I had to fix a date for my best friend, I really missed my men and wanted to enjoy some time with them.It was awesome to finally have them back.When the opportunity presented itself in front of me, I did not waste even a single second and told them everything there was to tell about Laura’s little crush. I remember it vividly because they had just fucked my brains out to oblivion, so hard that at some point in time, I had thought that I had a heart in my head, and it was thumping like crazy. I swear they were going to kill me with sex, nothing
LAURA POVSix pairs of eyes glared back at me intently, as everyone waited patiently to hear what I had to say to hear just what I had to say. The whole room was in golden silence and I could literally hear the rapid drumming of my heart in my ears. The atmosphere was so repressive that I felt like I was a docile, meek, and defenselessly small prey among a group of beastly predators. I opened my mouth to say something, but words seemed to be stuck below the giant lump in my throat because all I wanted to do was give a brief explanation without sounding a tad bit afraid or even scared, I mean be a badass and shit.But instead, a squeal that resembled one of a mouse that just got its foot clamped by a trap wrenched itself from my mouth. I wasn’t entirely sure if humans were species that knew all the hidden dimensions of fear, but right at that moment, with me under their penetrating watchful gazes, I felt like I was going to pee, or rather, the solid ground beneath my feet could split
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
