Albert tightened his fist on the phone. His eyes were bloodshed. His anger was on peak though it was just sensed by his tightened muscles and furicious eyes. His aura had grown like a mighty Greek god who would destroy the world in seconds.
"She said, she won't meet me, right?" He asked emphasing every single word. His tone was scary.
Over the phone butler gulped, "Madam will meet you tomorrow. She had others plans tonight."
Albert disconnected the call. He was so much angry that he punched his study table. The glass broke within no seconds.
Albert Knight never learnt to wait. That girl dared to ignore him and went for other plans. She even gave him an appointment for tomorrow. Indeed arrogant!
He took deep breaths and called Ryan, "Find each and every information about my wife."
Ryan was dumbfounded hearing his instructions. It's been one year he is working with him, never saw him to get close to any girl. Even he didn't know his arrogant boss was married.
"Err...Sir, you are married?" He asked.
Damn! That boss didn't invite him.
"Any problem?" This tone was so cold that Ryan forgot about the invitation immediately.
"No, no. Just saying. I will find about her. What's her name?" He asked being scared.
"I don't know." Ryan rolled his eyes over the phone. Of course he wouldn't dare to do this in front of him.
'Boss, this is your wife. You don't know her name. And asking me to find her information. Does it make any senses?' He said in mind.
Which death goddess asked him to apply for this job?
"When did you marry?" He couldn't hold his curiosity any longer.
"Almost two years."
Ryan almost vomited his blood. Two years!
That man is married for two years and doesn't even know his wife's name.
When Albert Knight failed to know her name in two years, how could this poor soul find it in just some hours??"Er...." He didn't know what to say.
"Can you do that?" He again asked in very calm but stern tone .
"Yeah, yeah. Of course. I can." He said but under his breath he questioned himself, "Can I?"
When Albert disconnected the call, Ryan gritted his teeth and slapped his forehead. Was he sane to take job under this freak?
Though Albert believed in Ryan's efficiency, he didn't want to take risk. After all it was a matter of his whole career. He can't just act reckless.
He took out a private phone from his locker and dialled an unique number, "Xavier, find the details about my wife. I want it on my desk before the sun rises."
Xavier was his right hand. He knew what his boss needed. He didn't ask any second question. After disconnecting the call, he started his information haunt.
But Albert was still not satisfied. That girl dared to ignore his order! He needed to make her pay for that. He needed to calm his anger. So he took his Mazda Ms-5 and went for a rush driving.
On the car racing track, he sped up car to the highest speed. Speed, adventure, thrill and danger gives him spirit. His reckless driving was helping him to vent his anger.After two minutes of rush driving, he found a navy blue porsche 911 came from nowhere. The driver's skill was so good. That car tried to surpass him but how could he allow?
They started racing. Albert was impressed by the driver's skill. But he became amazed when he noticed a beautiful girl with open hair was racing with him. Her mesmerising beauty and unstoppable courage indeed dazed him. With a smirk he used his full skills and tamed her easily.
They had a battle in racing. But Albert Knight being Albert Knight. How could he lose?
When they stopped racing and got out of car, Albert went near her. Now he could see her face clearly. Her beauty was something unique. And he knew her courage made her that unique. Adele removed her lather jacket and laid on the track with hands behind her head. She didn't even look at him. She was so lost in her own thoughts"Is something bothering you?" This was the first time Albert took the initiative to talk to an unknown girl.
Actually second, he tried to contact his wife too.
He also laid beside her.
She turned her head. A completely handsome face came to her vision. The sharp jawline, toned nose and dark eyes, everything was so perfect. Her eyes got stick to that dark pair of eyes. It took a long time for her to understand she was drooling over him. She diverted her gaze and gave an awkward smile.
"Anger made me a bad girl. I vented it. I will be a good girl from tomorrow. " her tone was childish yet painful.
"You've got skills." He said truthfully.
Adele sighed and looked at him seriously, "I know it. But I need to practice more."
"I can teach you." He didn't know what compelled him to say that.
She laughed out loud, "Don't worry, I've the best teacher. By the way, why are you here, handsome?"
This was the also the second time someone dared to refuse him. But it's the first time he didn't mind. Because he was sure her teacher was really skilled. Or else, she shouldn't have learnt this level of skills. Before Albert could say anything, he sensed some people coming towards them. Their movement was stern yet careful. He raised his head and looked at the surroundings carefully.
Silence. Deep silence.
Yet someone's breathing sound, someone's rushing sound.
With a sudden jerk he took Adele in his embrace. Fire sounds broke the silence. One after one bullets were rushing towards them. Adele was shocked at first but gradually she composed herself. They got up and rushed into Albert's car.
He started his car and ran it on the free street of LA. Behind him three cars were rushing maintaining a little distance.
Adele sighed deeply. Problems never leave her.
"What's going on?" She asked him.
He threw his phone towards her, "Call Xavier."
Adele rolled her eyes but dialled the number.
"Melrose Avenue. Total eight cars. Around 50 people." Albert's command was short but pointed.
He took out his revolver from the car seat and fired ditecting the wheel of nearby car of attackers.
They started to fire too. But to his surprise, he noticed Adele took out a revolver from her boot, opened the car door and bent down to shoot in their directions. Her tip was so perfect. The tree cars they stopped blocked the road.
After Adele closed the door, Albert took a harsh turn and sped up the car. Suddenly Adele found no one was after them. She looked at him questioningly.
"My men handled them." His answer was short.
After driving for long two hours, Albert stopped the car. It was almost dawn.
"You knew how to shoot?" He asked her.
"I am sure you want to praise my skills." She smirked.
"How come you were so calm?" He was feeling curios. It was not possible for a normal person not to show any expression.
"I've got the best teacher for shooting." Her answer always indicates a best teacher. Interesting!
"Boss, we handled it. But it's Jack's people." A man in formal black suit bowed and informed.
"Seems like Jack wants to destroy his own gang. But who gave him that courage to attack me?" He muttered.
Adele smiled bitterly. Wasn't they after her? This man just misinterpreted.
"Take him to my place. It's been long time we meet." Sighing deeply, he asked that man to leave. He didn't intend to scare Adele.
"Who are you?" Alede guessed he was connected with mafia.
"Call me Victor. " Actually it was his name in underworld. Though he just wanted to run business, he was dragged into that life where he never wanted to be. He always kept both lives differently. Now the girl knew about his dark secrets, would it be good to say about the other one?
"What's your name?" He wanted to know
Adele smiled bitterly. Was it a good idea to tell a mafia leader own name??
"Call me Ade." She said in a low voice.
Adele's POV"Ade!" Victor called me softly. I admit his handsome features and magnetic voice sometimes makes me shiver.Stupid! You are married!!To that husband who never appeared!Meeting him was better than meeting a mafia gang leader though....I shook my head to clear all the stupid thoughts. I looked at him with a smile."I don't think it is a good idea to move alone at least now. You may have risks." His voice was not so friendly neither so scary.He is right! There is a serious risk. Last night I was so scary. I don't know what will I do it someone bothers me without any reason. But I needed then to reach me. After all, they will lead me to that 'Sam'.I was so happy when they chased me.Stupid man! Ruined everything."Err...actually I just joined a new job yesterday. Can't take leave today. So....." That was a great excuse."That's risky." His tone was colder than before.O
At a private room of Grand Hotel,Albert was sitting comfortably on a sofa crossing his legs. His motionless face made him look like a statue. His only work was to look coldly at the person sitting opposite to him.Under his intense gaze, Jack was being nervous. Though he was also known as ruthless mafia, comparing to Albert his ruthlessness was not worth mentioning. Albert was a heartless monster."Victor, I think there is a misunderstanding. " Jack said finally to reduce the pressure."Explain." Albert commanded.Jack gulped a mouthful saliva with his roar. He never saw him that furicious to his own people. Though they had their own gang, they were under a mafia organisation of the country. They were united together to keep peace in the country. Their first motto was, not to harm the innocents, not to show mercy to the betrayers. They have their own power over their gang and never meddle in the matters of others. But when the organisation ne
Albert's penthouse"Boss do you want to talk to him personally?" Xavier asked curiously. He was wondering the person who never worked from the front line in LA, suddenly attacked him personally. How could it be possible?"How could he know her?" That was the only question in Albert's mind.He left LA five years ago to set up own business in Ontario. He was even the in charge of mafia organisation there. But two years go he returned suddenly with a special mission. For last two years, he kept his identity hidden, directed business and mafia life from here. But two years of hidden identity and ruthlessness didn't worth much in front of a girl! Even it was just a harmless kidnapping. Isn't it hard to believe?Why is she so important?Albert didn't know why his father forced him to marry this girl. That ruthless man can do anything to save her. What's her history? He was deeply in thoughts.But a sudden yelling dragged him to the earth.
Adele's POV"I thought you were in danger, never assumed you yourself were the risk." Victor snorted coldly. His coldness effected me too much but I was not ready to lose."Good to know you can assume wrong." I smirked. Victor tightened his grip on the steering wheel. His cold face had grown colder."Do you have any idea what were you doing?" Victor was really furicious."What? Just attacked an underworld base." I replied casually as if it was just a matter of seconds.Well, wasn't it?"We got an alert from the organisation headquarters. I was sent here to stop you."Owwo.... so he was ordered to do so. Impressive!He never liked to be ordered. But he was bound to follow the organisation rules. As an in charge of the organisation here, he needed to take care of the safety issues. It was his duty.But why would they ask to stop me? Did they ever plan to do that?"That mafia organisation? Blood
Before Adele could even walk, a motorcycle came towards her rushing. It just passed her with a gap of inches. She jumped backwards with the sudden incident. The rider turned his neck with an evil smile before getting out of vision. Albert got out of the car in a hurry. He looked at the rides skill. That man must be a professional. Pulling Adele by hands, he pinned her on the car. "I warned you before. Leave what you are trying to do." He was scared somehow. He didn't know why suddenly he started to care about an unknown girl so much. Was that because her connection with Elijah Wilson? "I'm not here to leave. And they were just trying to scare me. No one has guts to attack me." She laughed at his concerns. Those concerns that stop her from the goal, she chose to forget them. "You are stubborn as ever." Albert gritted his teeth. She was the first person to disobey him on his face. But the charm of her confidence never leaves a chance to impress hi
Reaching at the office floor, Adele found herself in an awkward situation. Everyone was looking at her with wide eyes. Eva came towards her running. "Where were you yesterday? We were so tensed. You are okay right?" What would she reply? That someone sent people to kidnap her? Or she was unconscious for a long time? Even she was threatened by a mafia leader and attacked his base? None of them was good idea. "Hehe, I was just in some problems. It's okay now." She didn't want to explain. "Do you know assistant Ryan was asking about you yesterday? God! He was damn handsome." Eva was really very childish. Rose pinched her to stop saying rubbish, "Adele, you were not present on the second day of job and the assistant was finding you. I'm afraid your job is at risk." Adele was fearing the same. But never guessed she was that much popular in CEO'S office."I think you might have a chance too meet the
"What if I don't sign?" Albert tightened his fist, his muscles tensed. He worked hard to rebuild the Knight Enterprises. Maybe he had another businesses, but this was the closest to him. He couldn't afford to lose it. "Afraid?" Adele mocked his vulnerability. She smirked while going through the papers again. She didn't care about his property or name. But she was also not ready to sign those papers only for his happiness. Of course he didn't treat her well. "What's your connection with Elijah Wilson?" He again asked in a stern voice. "And why are you so concerned about him?" She also raised her voice. Albert was shocked to see her shouting. She never did it before. He looked at those papers once again. He took some deep breaths to calm himself. Then said softly, "If you don't want to sign, then don't. No force." Adele was taken aback by his sudden change. Wasn't the reason he found her? Then why did he suddenly start
Adele's POV Mi Amor? I raised an eyebrow. Then a devil grin crept up my lips. I was rather feeling helpless. There are a lot of persons to observe my every movement. Sometimes I felt I lacked freedom. But sill that gift made me feel a little happy. Long time, no one called me Mi Amore. I took the gift with me and again started to work. When I was too much attentive in my fileworks, suddenly Eva cleared her throat.I looked at her with a question. With a smirk, she took the gift from my desk and started to examine it. Observing the luxurious wrapping and the greetings card, she gave me a knowing look. Fool. "Mi Amor....ohhh!" She looked from the side of eyes, "You didn't say you've a Knight in shining armor. What's inside it?" Her smirk made me laugh. "I didn't open it." I said casually. And I was not interested. She rolled her eyes and started started to unwrap. But to her utter surprise, ther
Ten months later Shot! Shot! Shot! Alexandra ran all the way to reach the staircase as she found a thug was firing from that place. She got a new case of diamond smuggling and she was determined to stop it. She was ready with Richardo duos. She was about to shoot that thug but found a card hit his hand from behind for which the gun fell on the floor. "Darn it!" She cursed and shot twice at the direction.from where the card came. But not wasting time, she ran after the thug. Adam found his way to meet the card thrower and it turned out to be the card specialist Robert Knight. Alexandra was running after the thug but suddenly bumped into a hard wall. She raised her head to find Albert in mafia attire. "Fuck!" She cursed loudly. She looked b
Albert was feeling so relaxed yet stressed at the same time. It felt good to get a family back. Again he took a huge responsibility not knowing even if he was eligible for it or not. He noticed something has changed in Adele. She was looking so calm and composed unlike times when she opened up herself. Sitting next to her laptop lazily in the bed, she kept checking some important files. "You are not even working, what are you really thinking?" Albert asked curiously as he noticed her unmindfulness. Adele didn't say anything. She could only sigh. "I am sorry." Albert raised his head to look at her. What was the apology for? "Pardon?" "I'm sorry, Albert." She closed the laptop and bit her lips. "Why are you saying sorry? Did anything happen?" Albert
"Are you okay?" Alexandra asked in a low voice. Jacob got injured because of escaping from the car. He was taken to the hospital by them. Licas and Alexandra reached there almost immediately.Jacob lifted his hand a little to touch her head. Brushing fingers on her skin, he felt the warmth reached to his heart. It was his daughter whom he never got close to him. He loved her but never could say that. Unknowingly a drop of tear fell from his eyes. He didn't cry for a long time. Only he cried in front of his wife. She was gone taking all of his tears away. Now there came his children, who could make him emotional.He nodded a little with a small smile. He was really happy. He got his family back, with him. They even saved him. No matter how much they hated him, they still had a soft corner for him."Are you angry with me?" He asked in a shaky voice. He knew the answer.
Adele's POV"Nathan Lan? Or should I say Alessandro Colombo?" I looked into his eyes. It was giving me devilish pleasure seeing him tied up helpless, at our mercy. I couldn't believe it when I called him 'Brother Nathan'. I liked him so much. He was like my family. I believed him all my life.Fuck him!Fuck to that belief I had on him. He's a bloody betrayer. He betrayed my emotions. I was a freakin fool to believe him. Suddenly I found I caused a lot of trouble in my family. My stubbornness just gave them a hard time. My fucking belief led Elora to a danger. I am hopeless."Adele Wilson, you are such an idiot. Took so long to understand." He was laughing like a devil, which he really was. Xavier was his peopl
Adele's POV Lucas seemed tense. His hands were cold when I touched it. I couldn't understand what he was afraid of. But one thing for sure, he was guilty. The whole family was giving him cold shoulder from then except Sil. If it was not Albert, I would have misunderstood him too. He had nothing to do in all these. He was just forced to listen to the commands and he could only do that. "Amber…." I heard Sil's blurry voice suddenly. Maybe she woke up from sleep. She was never a late riser but maybe emotional breakdown and mental tiredness made her sleep until noon today. But what about her office? It's not a weekend. "Sil, did you get a day off?" I asked curiously when she started to get and leaned on the headboard. "She was not feeling good. So I just called Adam and informed she won't be in her office today. She needs rest. She
Albert was sitting there in a daze. He couldn't think straight. Sitting in the middle of the bed, he was lost in thoughts. Adele was feeling a little guilty. After all her cousin did so bad to him. He knew it still never complained. He loved her without any hesitation."Albert." She called and sat beside him. She patted his shoulder a little, "I'm sorry. I knew Jacob Smith was your father but I didn't inform you.""It's okay. He's scary. Good thing you didn't pick up a fight with him." Albert leaned on her shoulder. He was feeling vulnerable. He was broken inside."I'm sorry, I didn't know Lucas….." She sighed.Albert shook his head with her words, "Don't blame him. He had nothing to do. He was forced like me. But I'm wondering why he took all of the blame on his shoulder. Why didn't he protest?"
"So dad was killed because of this?" Adele's voice trembled while asking this. She knew the answer, yet she thought to confirm. She wasted two years of her life because of Ramond Knight. Turns out Ramond Knight was just an advantage seeker. The real villain was Jacob Smith, yet he didn't have any intentions of doing that. How could she blame him? "Kind of. You know the story." Jacob Smith knew many lives were at stake because of him. Yet he was never practically involved with them. Wasn't it an irony? "So my dad died because of my father in law? I don't know how to accept that." She sighed. She didn't want to accept that. The little respect she had for Jacob was long gone. She was thinking how Albert was reacting to all these. He loved Mason Knight and Elijah Wilson a lot. Now they died willingly or unwillingly because of his real dad. Sometimes trying to protect him, sometimes without any reason. It must be
Albert's POV I was feeling like my whole world got shaken. My whole existence was a lie, a lie created by Jacob Smith and directed by Lucas Wilson. I was looking at Ms. Rivera all the time. What did she mean? I was her brother? I was her biological brother. Moreover I was the son of Jacob Smith. Jacob Smith!? He was known as the assistant of Old master Richardo, Adam and Ryan's grandfather. After their father's death, he took care of the family and businesses. But who knew he was the real owner of a Mafia organisation?! That means I'm the heir of this organisation? Things were really complicated. What about dad? My dad? Mason Knight? What about uncle Wilson? Did Robert know that? I couldn't think s
"Why did you marry me, Adam?" Those words suddenly fell from Elora's mouth. She couldn't help but ask after all these. At first she really thought it was just a novel type flash marriage. He needed to get rid of his grandfather's pampering words and that's why he wanted to marry her. But the first confusion came into her brain, when she found Ryan was his brother and Adele was his friend. If that was true then no way he never heard about her or saw her. Of course they had her pictures. But things became very complicated when he was Alexandra's subordinate, even Ryan included. All those things could only be coincidence, well she didn't believe it. There was something bigger than she thought. And she knew she was right. Because she found Jacob's text in his phone. Adam didn't reply. He had nothing to say. Things were not easy to explain and he knew Jacob would do that tonight. So it was good not to open his mo
