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.
Overbearing!
"I can manage." I said annoyingly. I never listened to others, not even my family. Then I wouldn't be here to become someone's unwanted bride.
"So stubborn. " He commented.
"Since childhood." I smirked. I could sense his anger. He just huffed being annoyed.
"Where will I drop you?" He asked irritatingly.
"To the race track. My porsche is still there." I smiled sweetly. I am sure he wanted to tear my mouth to get rid of that forced smile.
After dropping me there, he looked at me carefully. Sighing a little he said, "Take care. I will manage everything. They won't bother you."
Seriously!!Then how would I reach my gaol??!
But nothing to do. He won't leave them. After all, a mafia king got attacked. But I think we need to meet again. His whole team just got in a rush because of no reason.
After bidding him goodbye, I took the car to my apartment and parked it. It was my playmate, my courage evertime I feel myself alone. It was the only thing from which I ask for time.
I went to my apartment and freshened up.. All the incidents last night didn't give me a chance to breath. When got ready for office, I sensed some people's presence nearby. I was actually confused. Wasn't that party still facing yesterday's consequences? Then who would be the people to bother me now?
When I reached the drawing room, I found a black suited handsome man in his 20's followed by another blad waiting for me. So I was right! They broke into my house. How did they managed to get my password?!
"Excuse me, who are you? How did you get in?" I asked raised an eyebrow.
"Adele Wilson. Age 21. Recently resigned from Woods Group of Companies. Right?"
Hey man!!! You broke into my house and asking for my confirmation?
"Seems like you have come after research. But please update yourself. I've got a new job." I said with a smirk.
Seriously! How could they took it out of list when it was the first time I used someone's recommendation letter?
"Doesn't matter. You need to go with us. Boss sent us for you." He stated.....kinda softly?
Boss? Now who the hell was his boss?? But seriously these two will take me??!
"Only you two?" I asked for confirmation.
"Believe in our strength. We are enough to take you from here. But we don't want to force you. Come with us or else...." He couldn't even finish I snorted, " Else what?? Will you kidnap me?"
Does he know what's he going to suffer by kidnapping me? Nobody wants want bad for ownself.
"You can say that." He was confident.
I'm not quite sure about that. But I was confirm, I'm going to miss my office on the second day only because of him. Correction, because of his boss. I seriously want to meet that boss, whose people are capable enough to break into my apartment.
"Going to office. Come after the office hours end. Then I will think about it.I don't want to get fired just after joining." But what to do? I was stubborn since childhood.
"Then I think we need to take you forcefully. " He smirked.
I huffed in annoyance. If he is that irritating, I wonder what a piece of work his boss would be!
Didn't I just say interesting?
Well interesting and irritating both!
"Look it's not that I don't want to go with you. I just need to go to office. If I lose the job, someone will kill me. Believe me, I will get a tsunami. Try to understand. If I lose the job, what will I eat then??" I think it was fun to irritate him."You are too stubborn. I'm sorry I need to force you now." He sighed.
"Seriously! Don't you think you are too polite? Asking permission before kidnapping!" I was seriously impressed by his behaviour. He started to come towards me. I didn't know what to do actually. He was just staring at his actions. When he was just one feet away from me, I noticed some cards came from nowhere before he could do anything and attacked on their spine. Both of them fell on the ground.
Shit! I was afraid of this.
I'm screwed. Now I am going to get scolded.
But before I could get anything, I started to doze off.
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
Adele's POV Dad! Albert had dad's picture in his bedroom?! It's been a long I've seen him even in pictures. I didn't take any of his memories with me. Because I never wanted anyone to know my real identity. I bent down to the nightstand beside his bed and took that frame in my hand. I slowly trailed my finger over the frame feeling the warmth of dad's hand. I could remember his scent, that made me feel protected. I felt someone's gaze on me. For some good moments, I forgot I was not the only one in the room. It was Albert's room and he was also there, right behind me. "Who's he to you?" His cold tone never knew how to leave. I had a lot of trust issues. Is it good to let him know? The person who abandoned me right after the wedding. Then found me again for some signatures. That so called husband could never be believed. But again, he was the person who saved me though it was not needed. He met me again and again bef
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
