RICHARD'S POV

The place looked deserted, there was no visible sign of life around.

"Are you sure this is the place?"

"Yes sir" the lanky man with a gruff beard standing next to me replied.

I signaled for my men to move forward and with drawn weapons, they treaded the concrete until they took their positions, ready to start the show.

I could see the trepidation in the way they moved, their weapons shook in their hands and I wanted to slap them silly for letting fear rule them. The truth is, they had every single right to be afraid. They'd seen what those assassins can do. They'd removed the butchered remains of their brothers and friends from a delivery box, some of them had even cleaned up the mess in my home a few days ago and we didn't even know how many others were present in the warehouse.

His friends gathered around him and they laughed hard, mocking my terrified form.One of them started to butcher my mother's body with an axe, flinging her amputated body parts towards my direction. I cringed as part of her arm or what was supposed to be her hand hand landed on my body. Blood stained my white dress and the psychopath flashed me a toothy grin."Stop it!! Stop it you bastards" Royce screamed and made an angry dash for Nicolai , hitting him with his tiny fist. The big man brushed him off harshly, pulled out his gun and shot Royce twice in the head.I screamed in horror and rushed to lift his body from the floor."Royce wake up! We need to leave...Royce???" I sniffled."Royce??" He didn't respond, just his pale grey eyes staring back at me unblinking with a small hole i

    KIM'SPOV I opened my eyes, trying to take in my surrounding but I was greeted with darkness. My head was covered with an itchy black mask. Tiny sand particles rested on my tongue and my throat was dry like I'd been fed shards of glass. My legs felt like I was suffering from a gazillion bee stings and my jeans was so drenched in blood it clung to my body like a second skin.My wrists and ankles were spread apart, transferring my body weight to my shoulders and spine. I tried to wriggle free from the chains but that only made things worse, more pressure added to my back and my legs opened to tearing point. Where am I ?? What's this place?? I had gone back to the hideout to check if she left some clues on where to find her.... Suddenly everything that happened some hours ago came back in a rush and the thick accent of that man ordering me to drop my weapon proved I was in deep

    SNOW'S POV I didn't let her speak, I couldn't answer her questions now. "Why the hell did I get so carried away??" My lips still tingled with the lingers of her kiss and I've been shamelessly adjusting my jeans for a while now, trying to hide the evidence of my desire.I remember the look on her face when she saw her accomplice, she was happy, sad, grateful and angry at the same time. "How the hell did she get under my skin??" The raging hormones in my body made me feel like a teenager again and I know there's no overcoming this, it has to be sated.

    I could feel Enzo's confused glare drilling holes at the back of my head. Can't blame the poor man, he's been on the receiving end of my temper for a couple of days. It's quite unfortunate he always comes around me when I'm irritated or annoyed.I stifled a groan as I walked into my office. Piles of paperwork and reports greeted me, throwing myself into work seemed like a good way to get my mind off things for a while soI settled in, determined to finish everything before day break.The gentle golden rays of the morning filled the study gradually. I hadn't slept a wink throughout the night, tiredness settled in my body and a thick migraine hammered in my head threatening to crush my skull. I had gone through reports and added some inputs on upcoming mergers with my assistant Vincenzo. I walked out of the study and headed for my room to take a bath and get some rest. There was no one in sight, actually this floor was meant for just me and now, Roselle.

    ACE'S POVI tapped gently on the door, patiently waiting for an answer but nothing came."Can I come in ma'am?"I requested, knocking a little bit harder."Yes you can"a soft voice replied.I pushed open the door and stepped in, staring at the tiny lady leaning on the window frame whose physique and voice didn't match that of a thirty year old."Was Snow just pulling my legs?? This lady looked small from behind and her pale white skin looked too young and youthful to belong to a lady in her mid-thirties"I thought."Hi!! I'm Ace, Snow's younger brother and I'd love to have a talk with you. That's if it's ok with you??"I requested trying not to sound rude to the woman."You sure don't sound anything like that grumpy brother of yours"she replied and turned around to stare at me.Time froze as I stared at those big bright blue eyes.

Enzo was already waiting for me and a handsome blondie beside him who I assumed to be Stephan was smiling warmly at me."Bonjournobella"he said pulling me into a hug.I stared back at him in confusion, trying to understand what he was saying."Sorry..

He's being a true friend since my childhood, always fighting to keep me out of danger and a true brother even though I was adopted.I remember the numerous times I landed myself in trouble trying to start a mafia war with the Russians when papa was still alive, he always took the blame upon himself and bore the consequences for my rash actions.
