"Why are you looking so gloomy? What happened? Did he say something to you?" Albert suspected something was happening between them but they were not letting others know. As they were best friends for so long, they could play along so well.
"Of course he said something, but it's a secret. I can't tell you now." She tried to smile widely but it was not possible at the moment. There were a lot of things in her mind. She couldn't concentrate on acting well. The person in front of him was the biological brother of Alexandra. This man was giving her shocks after shocks about his identities. Since their first meeting, she had been knowing something new every time.
"Why are you looking at me like this?"
She was acting strange. In the meantime, Adam parked the car and joined them too. He gave a faint smile to Albert and glanced at Adele.

Parking slot of an old house Alexandra found she was tied up in a dark room. Her eyes could see only dark, not sure if she was blindfolded or it was really nothing but darkness. Actually she was feeling numb all over her body, almost like an unconscious person. She didn't know what was going on. But one thing she knew for sure, she was drugged. The moments she could recall before reaching here was at the airport. She came out of the airport, was about to get into her car, some people came from nowhere and the rest happened too soon to notice. Those people must have a powerful backer, maybe she guessed it. Or else never ever they would have dared to kidnap her. Because it could result in something worse than death. "She has got back her senses, hush!" She heard a faint sound. She knew the drug they used on her was really powerf
Alexandra's POVShot!!Of course this time the bullet came out. But not towards me, towards him.I always kept a dagger with me. I didn't know why but I felt like keeping it all the time. It was my only memory of my childhood. Though I didn't remember that much, only I remembered this dagger was of my father. I took the dagger and my brother took the cover. Now I made a new cover for it, still I'm in search of the old one, in search of my brother.I already cut my ropes with that dagger and the moment he was about to shoot, I kicked the revolver in such a way that ended up pointing towards his right hand. I somehow freed myself from the ropes fully. They were coming towards me to attack buy poor them! They didn't know I was too good in using daggers.Did he think it's too easy to
Adele's POVI went to meet Sil in the hospital. Though she was alright now, she was really weak, especially because she was not allowed to eat for the time being. The moment I reached the room, I found a man in his early 50's sitting beside Lucas. I didn't know why he felt so familiar. Maybe I've seen him before but couldn't get where."Amber, here you came. Your Sil woke up a little ago." Lucas suddenly said to me that dragged me out of those thoughts. I flinched a little as I got caught into overhearing them from outside. With an awkward smile, I entered.That man was looking at me so carefully, like observing from top to bottom. His curious but calm gaze made me frown. I turned towards Sil to ask what actually happened in which she only shrugged.Lucas pinched on my arm and almost dragged me towards that old man.&nbs
Adele was looking at Adam for a long time. She was so mad that didn't want to talk to him. Adam knew she had understood everything, still wanted to hear it from his mouth. "Adele!! Say something. You're scaring me." He smiled awkwardly when received a death glare from her. "Since when do you know?" That was the first question she asked. "Well, that's complicated. Maybe I knew it long ago. When I was a child, I heard from dad that Jacob's wife was dead because of some mafia war. He was a mafia king of California. He kept his two children away from him to get rid of their life risks. He didn't even keep them together to avoid any suspicion, still he always watched over them. My dad was his old friend who helped him to hide himself when the FBI was after him. And af
Adele was leaning against the sofa lazily. Tiredness and confusion was flashing from her eyes. She looked distressed and depressed, lost somewhere in her dream world, and didn't even notice Albert was standing there for a long time. He was trying to find out what she was thinking about. Actually she had a lot to think about, about her family, about David, about Alexandra, her own business and so on. But what Albert didn't assume, she was thinking about his identities. "Ade! Are you okay?" He sat beside her and softly rubbed her hair. In response, she only nuzzled towards him more and breathed calmly. "I'm okay. Just thinking about a lot of things." She was afraid what would happen when Albert would know Elijah Wilson knew about his identity. His own family was not his own but he was the son of Jacob Smith, the real boss of his current mafia gang. "Like….?" Albert asked c
"Brother Rob, what do you think you are going to do? I mean we need to tell him about it. We can't just let him find it first. That will not end well then." Adele was thinking about a way out. The thing she was waiting for was to know about the connection of her dad. But she understood only the revelation could give her answers. Maybe Lucas also didn't know the connection himself. "I don't even know who his real parents are. Without that I don't think we can make sure of his safety. My mind is not approving." Robert was always a sophisticated person. He liked to think logically. But some things were never about logic. They worked according to emotions. And Albert was another name of his emotions. He loved him no matter whether they were biological siblings or not. At least, their relationship was beyond any boundaries. Maybe all of their feelings are unspoken, because they didn't need to open up in front of themselves. They were transparen
Adele's POV"Nathan Lan!!!" I was feeling like killing him. He gave me more than two hundred files to sign in just one hour. Did he think my hand was a machine to sign without any hesitation? And here he goes, smoking cigarettes in the smoking zone leaving me all behind.But shouting at him would never make my job easy. So I again gave attention to the files. I could sign those without any problem as I was sure he managed everything with efficiency. But it was my responsibility to recheck. In case of any problem.When I was busy checking those files, I noticed the phone he left on the table suddenly rang. I was sure the number was in this country. But I never had any interest in meddling in anyone's privacy. Though I didn't want to peek, my eyes went to that again and again.Not my fault!"Nathan, y
Ryan was fit in his tailored shirt and trousers. Though they were casuals, he looked deadly hot in them. Hairs brushed at a side, spiked, hands kept in the pocket he walked all the way with confidence. After walking for more than ten minutes, he found Eva was waiting for him on the bridge. She was always punctual and that's what Ryan loved about her. "You flied all the way to meet me?" He was really happy about that yet he didn't want her to stay here, at least not at the moment. The city was now having a calm. But the storm was in the way, it would destroy so much. Powers would clash and death would be the reward. "Why do you look so gloomy? Aren't you happy to meet me?" Eva pouted, "You are still a little rabbit." He wanted to slap her forehead with her palm. "I'm not a rabbit. Abd whatever, just leave this city. It's not so good to stay here. And you don't
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
