Adele's POV
"Sophia Miller!!" I was having an argue to slap that girl hard. I didn't know why Tristan was letting her do things according to her wish. She was the one to take our pictures. Guts of this girl, she dared to send it to Albert! What the hell did she want to prove?
"Adele Wilson, are you afraid?" She asked with a disgusting smirk on face. I wanted to wipe the smirk hard.
"Nice pictures. We can make a frame. You guys look so cute." Albert suddenly said looking at those horse riding photos attentively.
"How can you say that? She's with another man, Victor. She's cheating." Sophia shouted.
God!! Was this girl crazy or dumb? He's my cousin for God's sake. I knew maybe all the time cousins were not that close. But for me my cousins were my mom, my dad, my siblings, my guardian, everything. They were my whole world.
"Get out!!!" I heard his roar which even made me flinch. I noticed Sophia gulped hard. She was looking at Albert wit
"Something's not right El, something's not right.""Something's not right, El, something's not right.""Something's not right El, something's not right."What the fuck? Did any ghost hovered over her? Or did she turn into a witch?"What the hell are you saying?"Adam looked at his wife with confusion hearing her chanting the same sentence again and again. She was very attentive on the laptop screen that didn't even spared a glance towards him. She just kept typing and chanting those words."Will you stop!!!??" Adam was compelled to shout at last which borrowed her some senses. She raised her head to meet his knitted eyebrow and narrowed eyes which were piercing her like a dagger."Errr.....I'm just like this. I mean I got scolded before. But that's my habit." She laughed bitterly with an apologetic smile. She bit her lips in tension which made his eyes focus on the pink flesh for a momen
"Ma'am. Ramond Knight escaped from jail." Adam went to police station after getting some new information about kidnappers. He almost got a heart attack when his subordinate informed about Ramond's escape. He knew his cheif officer had some anger issues on Ramond. She helped Adele to reach Ramond, even came to LA the very next day. Adam thought she would kill him for being reckless about the matter. He could lose his job."I know. Almost two hours before." She gave him a cold and stren look, then again gave attention to the laptop."What should we do now?" Adam knew he could get scolded but he needed her instructions."Nothing.", She didn't raise her head this time as if didn't care. She looked at her phone then again at the laptop. After taking a deep breath, she opened her mouth, "He will be back here. He will be brought back.""Errr...Adele could be in danger with every single passing moment." Adam argued."You wife could be in danger
"El!!!" Adele yelled with helplessness. Hurriedly Elora stood up and went towards her running. She took Adele in a bone crushing hug as she missed her too much. She was never less than a mother to her. Adele never made her lack of any own people. She was always there for her. "Stop bring cute. What the hell is happening?" Adele frowned understanding Elora had some connections with this piece of Richardo. "Ohh! That's my friend who helped us with the whole case. I contacted him before to help you as you were in LA." Elora explained to make Adele more confused. She never knew anyone except her family helped her. But one thing also made her confused, the appearance of Neon Parker. As Neon was influential in Asia, of course someone created force on him who had extreme force in Asia. Not that her brother didn't have, it's just she was confused. "Is your friend a deaf that can't hear us?" Adele found that man too much familiar. "Shut up! H
"Aghh!!" Xavier groaned in pain. Albert punched him hard on his face. Xavier was always there with him for past one year. He was really close to him. Albert never doubted he would be a spy member of another gang came just to leal information. He always believed him with his life, even with Adele's too. He never expected anything like that."Enough of your scheme, Xavier. Spill the beans now." Albert tied him up and put in Xavier's car. He started to drive very harshly. He needed to punish that man hard. Evetytime he manipulated those information about the rival gang. Or else it wouldn't be hard for him to find those. The day he found something's wrong in his base, he asked him to check the CCTV. But those were manipulated twice. Albert didn't know who else did that, but one of them was Xavier."Victor, you can't harm me." Xavier let out a dark chuckle, "My boss will save me."Albert looked at the struggling yet laughing soul with fury. He would kill him be
"Ma'am I've got the location." Adam was even afraid to take breath as they took a long time to find Asher Colombo's location. Already Alexandra sent forces where he could be. She captured the whole city in just a few hours."Oh! With the help of your wife." She rolled her eyes suddenly realising how useless her sub ordinate was. Gladly he was still a little better than Albert. Adam smiled bitterly. He didn't know how she got to know about his marriage at first, then again she knew about her helps."Err...she's an software genius." Adam smiled awkwardly."I will prefer saying professional hacker. That sounds better." She shrugged her shoulders while speeding the car more and more furiciously. Adam was clenching his jaw feeling helpless. He already pestered her a lot to drive the car. But she was reluctant to drive herself. Now Adam could only pray for his life with the increasing speed."Ummm....can you slow down a little?" Adam was afraid of acciden
"Sir, Ramond Knight is in police station now." Ryan informed with a smirk. "Find why Jacob Smith sent people to save Adele. And what's his connection with Adam Ricardo. " Albert instructed. Last night, he did some investigation which led him to Jacob Smith. But Albert didn't know why he was helping him. But from Neon Parker, he understood it was Adam who had connection in Asia. "Adam Richardo.....err...." Ryan didn't know what to do. Now if he went to Adam, he would break his bones for sure. "What you can't find about a police officer?" Albert frowned. "No worries sir. I will manage." Ryan needed to talk to Alexandra. As the mission was accomplished, he needed to go back to his real work. "By the way, you never said, you know how to shoot. You aren't keeping any secrets, are you?" Albert waa curious. The moment Tristan pointed Ryan was a little strange, he started to feel suspicious too. It's just he never gave too much attention towards
Adele's POV "Lucas Wilson!!" That voice.....shit! Big brother is dead meat. I turned my head to see my sil fuming in anger. She was taking big steps towards us. Protect me, God. Adam was my friend. I didn't want bro to kidnap his like this. Actually Adam was there trying to arrest brother as he was the most wanted criminal in the whole country. Head of mafia organisation. Actually people knew him as a criminal but he didn't have any criminal record. All he did was to protect people from the mafia world. He worked to prevent evil forces. He was just too lazy to explain people all these. "Lucas Wilson! How dare you kidnap my sub ordinate?" I heard sil growl at brother thowring daggers through her eyes towards me. "He dared to point his guns towards me." Brother rolled his eyes towards her. Damn! That's gonna be a show. "But that doesn't mean you can do that to an on duty officer. He
"Your cousin?" Albert smiled bitterly at Adele. Now he knew why she was reluctant to tell the truth. After all she was the sister of his boss in mafia organisation, the mafia princess. He should have guessed it after meeting Tristan. But he never thought about them being a family. Tristan was known as Lucas's right hand. They never took personal relationships here."Yeah, eldest cousin." She replied back. Albert turned to Alexandra, she was one of the most efficient police officers. But he was actually a mafia King's queens in disguise.But Albert felt more sympathetic looking at Adam. They were at the same page. These new informations were too much shocking."Wait, you are lucas Wilson? The Wilson family of San Francisco? The wealthiest family in the country?" Adam was really confused. If he had that much money from fair profit, why was he in underworld businesses?"Impressive! You've caught it." Lucas mused. Really he never assumed anyone wo
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
