Chapter 6

Brayden’s sleek black car screeched to a halt in front of Giovanni Industries, and he wasted no time stepping out.

His towering figure, clad in a sharp black Tuxedo suit cut an imposing silhouette.

Without a word, he stormed toward the towering building, his long strides purposeful, while Luca hurried behind him, his weathered face tense.

“Luca,” Brayden barked as they entered the elevator.

“Go straight to the surveillance room. I want the footage from my office pulled immediately and sent to my computer. No delays.”

“Yes, sir,” Luca said with a curt nod, though his voice held a hint of unease knowing it was all his fault.

The elevator doors slid open with a ding, and Brayden strode out.

Employees scattered to clear his path, their heads bowed.

He pushed open the door to his expansive office, the tension rolling off him like waves.

The usual pristine order of the space now felt suffocating, every detail reminding him of the audacity of someone daring to infiltrate his

    Penelope walked up the grand staircase of the Giovanni mansion, her mind replaying the tense encounter with Anya’s bodyguard. She could still feel the disdain in the woman’s glare, sharp and unwelcome. Trying to shake off the discomfort, she focused on her footsteps. But as she neared the upper floor, voices floated through the air.“I told you, Anya, you need to wash your hands first,” an older voice said, gentle but firm.It was Inez, standing near a slightly ajar door. She was speaking to the little girl, who was still clutching her backpack. The bodyguard stood nearby, arms crossed and face set in a stony expression. With the look on her face and the way she has spoken to Penelope earlier, Penelope hesitated.She was unsure whether to interrupt them, but Inez caught sight of her and beckoned her forward.“Miss Lorenzo,” Inez called. “Come here for a moment please.”Penelope sighed, knowing she'd be caught and there’s no running back. She gently descended the final step cautio

    In Anya’s room, Penelope knelt by the little girl, helping her out of her school uniform. “There we go, all done,” Penelope said with a warm smile as she folded the small blouse and skirt neatly. “Now, let’s find something comfy for you to wear. What do you think?”Anya tugged at the hem of her undershirt, eyeing Penelope curiously. “Are you always this neat?” she asked, tilting her head.Penelope chuckled, smoothing a crease in the folded uniform. “I guess I like things tidy. My mom always said a clean space keeps your mind clear.”Anya giggled as she pulled on a pair of soft cotton pants and a matching top. “Do you clean your room every day?”“I try to,” Penelope replied, brushing Anya’s hair lightly with her fingers. “But what about you, Miss Anya? What do you like to do? Any hobbies?”Anya shrugged, sitting cross-legged on the edge of her bed.“I like reading. And drawing. But…” She hesitated, then looked at Penelope with wide eyes. “Do you know how to make cake?”“Cake?” Penelop

    Back in Anya’s room, Penelope wiped the crumbs from Anya’s mouth as the little girl yawned sleepily. “That was the best cake ever,” Anya mumbled, her words slurring slightly from exhaustion.“I’m really glad you liked it, Anya,” Penelope said softly, placing the empty plate on the bedside table. “Now, it’s time for bed, young lady.”“But I’m not sleepy,” Anya protested, rubbing her eyes and betraying her words.Penelope chuckled. “Not sleepy, huh? Then why are your eyes barely open?” She asked with a sly grin on her face.Anya shrugged without uttering a word. Penelope took that as her clue and gently guided Anya to lie down on her bed, tucking the blanket around her snugly.“Will you sing me a lullaby?” Anya asked, looking up at her with wide, innocent eyes.“Of course I can. Do you have a favorite or I could pick one?” Penelope asked with a warm smile. “No I don’t. You should pick one. I know it’s going to sound good coming from you since you have an angelic voice.” Anya said, ma

    The morning was unusually quiet in the Giovanni mansion. Brayden had left before anyone else was awake, as he often did. The staff went about their duties with practiced efficiency, and Penelope found herself filling the silence by focusing on her tasks for the day.She had already prepared Anya for school that morning and Darla, Anya's bodyguard, still gave her the creep when she had escorted Anya to the gate where Darla and Anya’s driver were waiting. By noon, the air in the kitchen was warm with the aroma of Inez’s cooking.She moved with precision, chopping vegetables and checking the pot on the stove.“Brayden will be home earlier today,” Inez calmly said, glancing over her shoulder at Penelope, who was busy with her own preparations.“He’s coming home early?” Penelope asked, slightly surprised. She remembered he didn’t return early the previous day.“Yes, he called to let me know. I’m making sure everything is perfect for lunch,” Inez replied, her tone leaving no room for er

    The night was thick with tension as Brayden sat silently in the backseat of the car. His mask concealed his face, but his cold, piercing eyes told a story of determination. Luca drove with steady hands, his gaze flicking to the rearview mirror occasionally, reading his boss’s mood.“Are you sure you want to do this yourself, Don Giovanni?” Luca asked, his tone cautious. “The boys and I could’ve handled it.”“I want to make sure everything goes smoothly,” Brayden replied curtly, his voice low and commanding. “No mistakes. This deal is too important to leave to chance.”Luca nodded without argument. He knew better than to question Brayden’s decisions.They pulled into an abandoned lot, where a black car was already parked under the dim glow of a flickering streetlight. The client’s men stepped out, their faces hidden behind black masks, mirroring Brayden’s. Brayden gave a single nod. Luca understood the signal and moved to the trunk, retrieving a small black case.

    Darla stood in the shadows of the bar, her heart pounding with fury. She had witnessed everything—the quiet conversation between Brayden and Penelope, the way Brayden looked at her, and, worst of all, the kiss. Her fists clenched at her sides, nails digging into her palms as she tried to calm the storm raging inside her. “How could this happen so quickly? That woman just got here! It isn’t even up to a week yet and she’s already trying to seduce Brayden!” Darla thought bitterly as she gritted her teeth in anger.She had never been that angry for a while, but the moment Penelope stepped foot into Brayden’s mansion, everything annoys her! She watched as Penelope walked down the hallway, her steps heavy and hurried— Like she was trying to get away from Brayden at all cost.Darla scoffed, “Acting like she wasn’t leaning to his touch some seconds ago. Innocent looking girls always turned out to be sluts! Who would have thought…?” She mumbled underneath her breath.Brayden remained

    Brayden groaned, the sharp ringing of his phone pulling him out of a restless sleep. He reached for it, but the call had already ended by the time he brought it to his ear. Blinking groggily, he stared at the screen.“Missed call from Luca,” he muttered, then noticed the list of notifications. “Ten missed calls? Seriously?” He groaned.His heart dropped. Something was wrong—Luca would never call him so many times unless it was urgent. What could have happened?’ He thought to himself. Brayden sat up abruptly, his body tense. He glanced at the other side of the bed, finding it empty. “Darla’s gone,” he thought absently before redialing Luca’s number.It only rang once before Luca answered, his voice shaky.“Don Giovanni….”“Luca, what happened?” Brayden demanded immediately, his tone sharp. He already had the feeling that something wasn’t right. Thus, he wasn’t in for pleasantries.“I was ambushed last night,” Luca stammered. “The briefcase… it’s gone. They collected it.”“What?”

    Brayden leaned back in his chair, his sharp gaze fixed on Luca, who stood before him with his arm still in a sling. The tension in the room was palpable.“I can’t trust anyone right now, Luca,” Brayden said, his voice cold and calculated. “Not a single soul. That ambush? It was too well-timed. Someone betrayed us.”Luca nodded, his expression grim. “Do you think it’s someone on the inside, Don?”“Possibly,” Brayden replied. “But my gut tells me it’s the client from last night. Maybe they decided to double-cross us—take the goods and come back for the money.”Luca’s jaw tightened. “What’s the plan?”“We’re going to find them,” Brayden said firmly, leaning forward. “And when we do, they’ll pay for what they’ve done.”Luca raised an eyebrow. “How do we track them down?”Brayden smirked. “They’ll slip up. People like them always do. Start by gathering the men. I want eyes everywhere—any sign of them, I want to know.”“Understood, Don.” Luca pulled out his phone and started making call

    Penelope heard the front door open and scrambled to her feet. When she saw Inez walk in, her eyes widened.“Inez!” Penelope exclaimed. “Are you okay? What happened?”Inez gave her a reassuring nod. “I’m fine. Nothing to worry about. Just go to your room and freshen up.” “No I can’t. Anya isn’t back yet. I don’t even know if they are all okay. I can’t freshen up now until they are back.” Penelope uttered, rubbing her palm against her arm.Inez didn’t say a word and just walked away— leaving Penelope standing in the living room alone. Brayden winced as Luca sped down the highway, the black SUV gliding smoothly but every bump sending a jolt of pain through his side. He pressed a hand tightly against his bleeding wound, his knuckles white.“Luca,” Brayden groaned, his voice strained. “Call the doctor. Tell him to get to the house before we do.”Luca glanced back in the rearview mirror, concern etched on his face. “I already called, Don. He’ll be waiting for you when we get there.”“

    Outside the abandoned building, Brayden’s men had positioned themselves strategically, their weapons drawn and ready. The leader of Brayden’s team, Marco, spoke into a small communication device clipped to his shirt.“Team Alpha, move in. Take them out quietly if possible. No mistakes,” he instructed, his voice low but firm.The men nodded in response, their faces set with determination. They moved silently, taking down the guards patrolling the exterior. Shots were fired, and within minutes, most of the enemies were neutralized. Inside the building, the scarred man’s second-in-command rushed into the room where the leader stood with two other men.“Boss!” he said breathlessly. “We’re under attack! Someone’s here!”The scarred man’s eyes narrowed. “What do you mean we’re under attack? Who would dare?”“It’s Giovanni’s men!” the second-in-command exclaimed. “They’ve already taken out most of our guards outside.”“Damn it!” the scarred man cursed, grabbing his gun. “You two, come a

    Inez was tidying the living room when the call came. Her phone buzzed on the coffee table, and she quickly picked it up, noticing Luca’s name on the screen.“Luca?” she answered, her tone curious. “What’s wrong? Why are you calling?”“Inez,” Luca’s voice was urgent. “Listen carefully. Anya’s been taken.”“What?” Inez exclaimed, her voice trembling. “What do you mean? How—when—?”“Calm down,” Luca said, though his own voice betrayed his anxiety. “Darla and Anya were ambushed on their way home. The kidnappers have her. Brayden’s handling it, but we don’t know their next move.”Inez gasped, her hand flying to her chest. “Oh my God. Poor Anya! She must be terrified!”“Listen to me,” Luca continued. “You need to make sure the house is secure. Lock all doors and windows. Inform the guards to stay alert. No one goes in or out unless it’s absolutely necessary.”Inez nodded frantically, though Luca couldn’t see her. “Okay. I’ll do that right away. Is there any news about where she is?”“No

    It was a bright afternoon when Darla pulled up outside Anya’s school. She adjusted her sunglasses and leaned back in her seat, scanning the area as children streamed out of the building. Her sharp eyes never missed a thing.Anya skipped toward the car, clutching her backpack. A wide smile lit up her face as she waved to her bodyguard. “Darla! Look, I got a gold star today!”Darla grinned, opening the car door for her. “That’s great, Anya. You’re making me proud. Hop in.”Anya climbed into the backseat and buckled her seatbelt as Darla closed the door. The driver, a quiet man named Gerald, gave a polite nod before starting the car.The ride home began like any other. Anya hummed a tune, swinging her feet as she admired her star sticker. Darla kept her eyes on the road ahead, her instincts always on high alert.But then, without warning, a black van sped up behind them.“Gerald,” Darla said sharply, her eyes narrowing. “Do you see that van?

    In a dimly lit room in the middle of nowhere, armed men paced back and forth. The tension in the air was so thick it could be cut with a knife. The men—Aldo Ricci’s loyal soldiers—were visibly enraged.One of them, a tall man with a scar running down his cheek, slammed his fist onto the table in anger.“This is unacceptable!” he barked. “Aldo Ricci was our boss, our leader! And now he’s gone because of that Giovanni scum! Who does that scum think he is?” Another man, smaller but equally furious, chimed in, “We all know who’s responsible! Brayden Giovanni thinks he can get away with this? That we’ll just let him kill our boss and walk free?”The scar-faced man nodded sharply. “He made a grave mistake messing with Ricci. We’re not going to let this slide. I will not rest until I have gotten revenge on the killer of Aldo Ricci! We all will not rest until the killer pays with the last of his blood!”The room erupted in murmurs of agreement, the men all nodding as they checked thei
