Marco p.o.v “There are snakes among my men.” I told her. “Aren't they always spies.” Her face frown confused. Her confused stare fixed on me, there have always been snakes implanted among my men. Having too many enemies, there's will these kinds of situations. “Roman Vladimir's snakes.” Her expression changes from the confused state to one of understanding. Roman Vladimir. He's the younger brother to Nikolai, Vladimir. My dad's swore enemy. He's the Russian leader, the Vladimir's has our enemies for decades. He's a sly Fox or so I've heard, if he were that capable, he wouldn't have been played on his on game. Would he? I had experience first hand what the Vladimir's did to my parents, the urge to get revenge has always been there. And now that he has presented himself on a platter of gold, I won't let this opportunity slides. Roman Vladimir isn't my biggest concern right, just an insignificant fly I need to get out of the way for the master mind to come out. “How did you find
Zoey p.o.vToday I woke up in a lighter mood than I've been for the past months, knowing that Marco is a big relief. A relief I couldn't content either can I express, I can only express it through my vibrant mood.“Ma'am, you seem to be in a better mood today.” Alice had asked me.My mood today was obvious to everyone in the mansion, they have seen me in this lively mood since the news of Marco death. So they are quite surprised.“Anything new?” She asked expectantly, smiling brightly as she awaits my response.I shook my head at her dismissively, she quickly took the signal that I didn't want to talk about it. I would rather not spill any words related to Marco's fake death, for obvious reasons.Presently I'm wary of every worker in the estate. Marco refused to point out or put a name of the spies.“You wouldn't be able to contain your emotions, if I point them out.” He declined firm when asked who they were.He was right on that, my reaction towards them if I were to know who they a
Third person p.o.v_The Hidden Lair_Roman Vladimir, the ruthless Russian mafia boss, stood in the dimly lit room, his eyes fixed on the phone as he reported to the hidden boss. His voice was laced with a mix of respect and venom.“Sir, it's done. Zoey is in my custody. The mission was a success. And Marco… is no more.” Roman's tone was laced with satisfaction, convinced he had finally avenged the past humiliation of his family. He could almost taste the sweet revenge, and his mind raced with the possibilities of exploiting Marco's empire.The hidden boss's voice was like a snake slithering through the grass, smooth and menacing. “Excellent work, Roman. You've proven yourself useful once again. I must admit, I'm impressed. You've exceeded my expectations.”Roman's thoughts seethed with anger and determination. _I finally settled the score. Marco's dead, and now I'll crush the rest of his empire. No one will dare challenge me again._ He could already envision the fear and respect he wo
Zoey p.o.vI don't know how long I've been sitting here, waiting. The silence is deafening, punctuated only by the faint hum of fluorescent lights above. I'm trapped, unable to move closer to the door to listen for any sign of movement. My abdomen aches, and my chest feels like it's suffocating me. I press my hands against my stomach, trying to calm my racing heart.As I waited, the discomfort in my abdomen grew, and my chest felt like it was suffocating me. I pressed my hands against my stomach, trying to calm my racing heart. “Baby, please, just hang in there,” I whispered, my voice shaking.Suddenly, the door creaked open, and the man in black loomed over me. He reached for the chains binding my feet to the bed and yanked them off, the metal scraping against my skin. I winced in pain as he grasped my arm, his grip like a vice.“Get up,” he growled, pulling me off the bed.I stumbled, my legs numb from hours of immobility. He dragged me out of the room, my feet scraping against the
Marco's p.o.vMy eyes fixed on the screens displaying the feeds from the hidden cameras.Roman thought he had the upper hand, but he was just a pawn in my game.“Marco, we need to move now,” my father growled, his anger palpable.His eyes were also fixed on the screen, and whatever Roman is doing right now is getting to us. Dad hasn't been able to hide his feelings when it concerns Mom, this weakness became evident.I knew he would rip Roman apart the first chance he gets. I'm barely holding back the rage boiling inside of me, seeing the condition they are in is killing.But for we to end this game, we have to destroy its root. That is finding the man behind the scene, he's definitely not going to be a happy ending for him when I get him.“Not yet,” I replied. “We need to let Roman think he's in control.”My father's face twisted in rage. “Fuck that bullshit, I'm going over there now.” Dad was already on his way out.“I know, Dad” I said, my jaw clenched. “But we can't let emotions cl
Zoey p.o.v“Ah… And then the surprise look on her face.” His tone was taunting, but he was right.I was thrown off guard by his appearance, he doesn’t seem like he belonged to the mafia world. Definitely not.“You must be expecting a rugged man, yes.” He smirked. “My darling, this here is Roman Vladimir. Those that ring a bell?” He introduced himself, whilst directing the last sentence to my mom in law.His eyes held resentment, and full of vengeance.And from the shock look from mom’s face, the name does ring a bell. Her eyes went wide, and she seemed like air has be knocked off her lungs. She stares at him like she just saw a ghost, and slightly shaking her head in denial.Ok….. I’m lost here. I know Marco told me who this man is, I mean just his name and his intentions towards our family. But it seems like there’s more to it, something I haven’t been told.That’s the entire truth, the history behind this whole ordeal.I was confused but kept silent, waiting for more info.“I bet t
Ava p.o.v “Ava!” Tricia yelled from the living room for the twentieth time. Tricia is my roommate turned best friend, we met in our first week of resumption. I needed a roommate, so she offered I stay with her even though she wasn't looking for one. Mom must have liked Tricia at first sight because she agreed without hesitation, saying for a young girl to live alone is very dangerous. My mom can be extremely protective when it comes to her kids, but let's face it, which mother won't turn a tigress when it comes to her kids? So I don't blame her for being overprotective, even though it's driving me crazy at times. So for the past two years, I've been living with this wild wolf, shhh, don't tell her I say that, or I'm dead meat. Tricia can be sweet and caring when she wants to be, she has a heart of gold, the best roommate I could ever ask for. But occasionally, her big sister mode kicks in, and she becomes wild, but I love her. “What?” I asked innocently, I could practically se
Ava p.o.v The tension in the air is so thick it could be cut through, it's so suffocating I almost choke on my saliva when swallowing the lump in my throat. I cough a few times bringing almost everyone's attention to me, each gaze passing a silent warning. Some look would be like keep it down' others is 'don't get us killed bitch' while some are 'are you crazy' kind of look. I walk shakingly around to the table, seeing everyone wary also brought me on edge. I subconsciously take a step back from the table with the three most intimidating men I've ever seen, the arura radiating off them is dangerous enough to kill someone on spot. Especially the one sitting between the other two. He's a Greek God sent down to one earth to put chaos among women, No doubt he's specially made by God himself to place a second figure of himself on Earth for everyone to see. He has midnight, wait no scratch that, He has charcoal color hair that's neatly combed back. No single hair is sticking out. Hot c
