At a old house,
"Ahhhh!" a man was screaming continuously due to whipping. His voice started to become faint with every whip.
"Plz....let me.. go..." He managed to say that in between the pain.
"Why? does it hurt?" Xavier laughed mockingly and whipped him more ruthlessly.
"Ahhhh!"
"No!"
"Pl...ea..se.."
No one cared about those screaming. If they cared, it was only their boss's order.
"Let me go, please." The faint voice pleaded again.
"You should have thought about that before bribing someone in changing the materials. " Xavier was not getting any fun in whipping now. So he tied the scary and bloody body with chain. He took a finger cutter from the drawer. With a clack sound, his fingers started to fall on the ground.
He needed to treat him best. After all, it was his boss's order.
Knight Enterprises
In the meeting room,
A man was sitting with a furiciously cold face. His piercing gaze was giving everyone cold sweat. Though he was not looking at his anyone, they were shivering in fear.
The sudden notification on his phone traced a flash of satisfaction in his eyes. Then he roared, "How did the construction materials change?" His voice was calm but that calmness was as cold as iceberg.
Standing under the pressure of his intense and stern gaze, Mr. Lynn, the construction manager was stammering, "I...I..don....t...don't....kno...w."
His face changed in a darker shade that brought chills to everyone's spine. Without the slightest movement of his furicious gaze, he guestered his assistant to show the proves.
Mr. Lynn never assumed he was caught long ago and the CEO was just playing along with him. Seeing the proves, he was almost having a panick attack.
"Sorry...Sir.. I was" He was finding excuses but the cold face made him flinch.
"Make sure to send him in jail." Hearing the decision, everyone shivered. The CEO was the another form of devil monster. He never showed mercy. Punishment was the only reward to the people who mess with him. And he gladly granted the reward to each and everyone.
After the guards dragged Mr. Lynn out of the meeting room, his eyes trailed everyone's shivering face slowly. He sensed their fear and became satisfied.
"So who of you want to follow that man?" His voice was making hard for them to sit there calmly. Of course no one was willing to go to jail. They didn't utter a single word. Even they held their breath not to make any mistakes.
"Try to violate rules, I will make sure to send you to him." Warning sternly dismissed the meeting. After his departure, everyone sighed a breath of relief and wiped the sweat of forehead.
After reaching to the CEO'S office, he leaned on his chair calmly. Without a slightest movement, he ordered the assistant, "Change those expired materials immediately before the construction begins. I don't want anyone to lose life because of our carelessness. " Ryan nodded."What's the schedule today?" He asked in a calm tone as if nothing happened in the office just now.
"A interview for newcomers and lawyer Daniel's appointment. " Ryan also got used to talk in short form after his job of being the cold CEO'S assistant. He also borrowed some of his coldness what is used to turn into sweat in front of him.
"Ask vice president for the interview. I will meet the lawyer after lunch." He instructed Ryan and he executed each of his instructions like an obedient assistant.
After Ryan left, he took out his phone and looked at the notification again.
"BOSS, MR. ANDERSON IS HALF DEAD. HIS FINGERS ARE CHOPPED OFF ."
He curved his mouth upwards with sneer. The man challenged him in the game where he was the creator. Too bad!!
After keeping the phone on the desk, he was lost in thoughts. He closed his eyes for a few seconds and opened it with a trace of tiredness. He was indeed tired of his robotic and mechanical life, business and ruthlessness. Tired of running away from his own personal life, tired of being heartless. But it was a great sin for him to show others his tiredness and softness. Since the second he would choose to grow weaker, he would start to be defeated. Sighing deeply, He looked at the watch and opened his laptop to drown himself into the world of works.
Being the mighty Albert Knight was really hard!Del DesignsBunch of papers were piled here and there. Pencils, sketch pens, colour pencils were scattered all around the table. Hair bunned with a pencil, a girl was attentively designing a wedding gown. A genuine smile formed on her lips looking at the complete design.Nathan barged into the room and looked at the messy place. He frowned and yelled, " What have you done?!! God, you didn't grow up yet."She came back from her imagination with his yelling sound. She kept the paper on the table and asked made a poker face," What!!! No one can see my happiness. I was so happy with the design and you ruined it.""Too much sarcasm.Why were you happy? It is not like you are going to wear this on your wedding day." Nathan raised and eyebrow.Wedding!There was a pang in her heart as if it started to bleed.She looked at the gown carefully.
Knight EnterprisesAlbert was sitting on the couch crossing his leg with a business magazine on his hand. Nothing but his fingers moved to turn pages. His eyes were deep and attentive. Suddenly a knock disturbed him. He looked at the wrist watch then at the door."Come in." He granted in a deep voice.A man in black law suit entered the office. Albert guestered him to seat even without changing his position. He sat on the sofa and looked at the poker face to get some attention."Say." Albert fulfilled his wish at last.Daniel didn't say anything. He just took a paper out of his briefcase. Then placed it in front of Albert.Albert kept the magazine aside and started reading those papers. His eyebrow knitted and face became colder. His eyes became dark with gritting teeth and tightened fist." What's all these?" He questioned Daniel. The stern tone made him gulp."You need to take sign of your wife in these papers."
Adele's POV"Brother Rob, tell me how did you manage?" I asked him over phone."I didn't do anything. You were efficient. " A deep voice replied."I am damn sure I got the job just because of your recommendation letter. How are you connected with Knight Enterprises ?" I was being suspicious. Bother Rob was the one who helped me a lot in LA both in personal and professional life. He was the one I can rely on without any question. But why he helped me that much was still not clear to me..."Nothing like that. You are not even permanent. They just gave you a trial. Don't forget that." He tried to convince me. But getting a trial job in Knight Enterprises was not a matter of seconds."Let's see who takes the trial." I asked him playfully."Damn you girl! You just made me write a recommendation letter just because of your irregular job!! Kill me. You just ruined someone's career."Fire alert! He was getting angry."Heyy!!
Adele's POV"Aahh...aah..." He tried to grit his teeth not to make any noise. The fresh blood was flowing down his skin with the touch of my military knife. His stubbornness was making me so excited. So instead of trailing on his skin, I started to stab deeper."Aahh!!!"That's it. I was waiting for this screams."Who....ar...are....y...you..? " He managed to ask me in between the pain."You won't know me by the name and I am too lazy to explain. What to do?" I smirked. But that was no fun. If he is getting pain, he must has the right to know about the pain giver. I was being unfair."Well, let me tell you." I have changed my mind now. He deserves to know me. But of course with more pain. I will make sure he will remember me forever....if he is alive."Almost 14 years ago. That night. A girl was screaming for her parent's life embracing two little kid. Crying for her parents badly. But you and your men didn't stop stabbing." 
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 h
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.
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
