Elizabeth's POV

A distant beep roused me from the dark. My limbs felt heavy, like being underwater. My eyelids quivered, refusing the opening capacity, their lashes stuck together. My head pounded loudly, and I groaned.

What the hell happened to me?

My nose caught a weird scent.

Was that medicine?

I opened my eyes, groaning as the bright ceiling lights burned my eyes.

White walls. Machines. Drips from the IV stuck onto the wrist.

A hospital.

Panic flared through me quickly. My heart pounded, causing one of the machines to sound its alarm. My hands were around the sheets, holding them tightly. I was alive. That meant Adam...

No. Not Adam. Richard, that devil!

Flashes of the last thing I could remember slammed into me like a truck. Richard's sneer, Adam screaming my name.

I swallowed, my mouth tasting like sandpaper.

A nurse walked in wearing a light blue scrub, looking surprised as she saw me. Her expression turned into a smile and she hurried towards me. "Well, you're awake. We were a

    Elizabeth's POVHis presence was like a storm, quiet but heavy with tension. He set his eyes upon mine, and his eyebrows were drawn together.He stepped closer. “What happened?”I tried to regulate my breathing.“Nothing,” I lied.His gaze turned dark, and he stepped forward. “Don't lie to me.”I swallowed hard.He took another step. He spoke, his voice dropped, almost soft but not soft. “Who was here?”I hesitated, even though I did know not to assume Adam wouldn't eventually find out.And, I whispered, “Lance.”His entire body became stiff.He stayed silent and then, his voice turned low. “Lance was here.”I nodded.Something shifted his expression. It scared me.Without another word, he grabbed his cell and called. “Double the security. Now.”His eyes didn’t leave mine. “I will kill the man myself if he ever gets close to you again.”“I…” My voice stopped short.

    Elizabeth POV"You're not much of anything, Adam!" My father yelled into the phone. His brows furrowed and his face anxious as he kept looking out the window at a black van parked a few blocks away from our house.Hanging up on the caller,he drops the phone and turns to me."I'm really sorry ruining the family dinner like this, Princess,but you have to come with me"He gently grabbed my wrist and pulled me up from the dining table and led me upstairs to his room.My mother frantically got up from her seat."What is it, Honey?" She tries to sound less panicked than she really was."Adam Mich" He said, signalling her to the van parked outside with a nod.I followed him without asking questions, trying not to fall as I did.My father is a police officer dedicated to his job regardless of the danger that looms. Sometimes the danger follows him home, just like this one."Stay in here Honey, don't come out unless I call for you and if I don't,find Lance! I love you." He kissed my forehe

    Elizabeth POVThe hot summer air brushed harshly against my face as I opened the heavy iron door.I stepped into the lonely alley along uncompleted building structures."Find Lance” My father's voice rang in my still aching head.Lance was my father's best friend since recruitment. They had gotten into the police force together and the last time I saw him, he was a constable officer. He didn't spare me a glance when I was young and never asked about my family. I guess they were just best friends in the police force.I pulled over my black hoodie and headed straight to the police station, keeping my head low as I walked."Good afternoon officer," I greeted a chubby man in uniform behind the desk chewing a mouthful of Cheetos."Afternoon miss. What can I do for you?" He responded, barely sparing me a glance.I swallowed my saliva hard and "I'm looking for a man named Lance. Officer Lance, he works here." I said with a gulp, almost choking on my words.He turned to me, sizing me up and d

Lance revealed softly.I turned my face from him to stare at the monitor reading my heartbeat. I had opened my eyes to find myself lying on the hospital bed."And my parents?" I asked, even though I already knew the answer."The doctor said you had a panic attack,you should–""I'm fine, Lance. Please just tell me the Truth." I demanded, holding back sobs."Their bodies were found brutally destroyed by the fire" He sighed."Thank you" my voice barely above a whisper.."If you want, Eli, you can come to me for anything. Your father was my best friend, you're like a daughter to me. I can –""I want revenge." I blurted out, cutting in.My words must've shocked him seeing he kept mute. I turn back to him, focusing my gaze intently on him."I want to finish what he started". I pressed further."That is suicide! you saw what happe

Don't worry,” I said and walked away.Gulping down on my second shot of whiskey, I started to grow impatient waiting for Aaron, my brother's personal psychiatrist.Re-reading the Letter my brother, Richard, had sent me years ago, the task of finding him a suitable wife lingered on my mind.With his mental condition, I had never considered Richard would want a wife.We'd managed to hide his illness from the world for so long and built a unique persona for him, bringing in a third party to the family made me feel uneasy.But maybe he did need a wife, he was dying anyway, continuing his bloodline legally wouldn't be such a bad idea.I put the letter back into the envelope and ordered a third shot."Ugh" Someone bumped into me,knocking the letter out of my hand.My men, watching in the shadows,readied their arms in case she was a threat.Keeping my expression stiffened, I turned to look."Oops,my bad!"

I announce, taking in deep breaths to calm my nervousness.I was about to enter into the den of my enemy, I needed to be calm and cool otherwise I'd flop off my chance at the very beginning.I was more nervous since I hadn't been able to get in touch with Lance. It's been two days already and no one has seen or heard from him."Does my ponytail still look good? I have a feeling I should let down my hair instead" Lily's voice echoed, interrupting my thoughts."You look okay." I respond, barely glancing at her hair. I had my focus on Adam in front."Just "Okay"? " She wailed, irritated byy response."Ugh. I knew I should've worn the blue dress! Look at these women, they're better dressed!" She whined."Trust me, Lily, you look better presentable for the role than they are." I say effortlessly, trying to lift up her spirit."Easy for you to say when you effortlessly look like a hot top model even if you had on a baggy jeans and shirt

He was chained in the red room, tortured and kept for days without food. When I tried sneaking in food for him through the window, a guard caught me and reported me to my father. I was chained in the second room, with lesser punishment. But that still didn't change my hatred towards my father.Richard had already resigned to his rate of being an orphan. He never considered the Mafia Boss as our father. On the third day, we were released.

I don't understand you, Elizabeth. What happened in the two days I let you be?' He asked, his eyes tilting in confusion less than concern.I tightened my lips. I didn't want to tell him too much. I didn't trust him enough either, ever since he disappeared without a word.'You'll get to know soon enough,' I said and walked towards my vanity, taking out things I'll need.'You'll need more of that perfume,' Lance said with a knowing smirk.'Guess you catch on quick,' I said, mirroring his enthusiasm.'But this is suicide. You know he'll kill you if he discovers who you are. The Mafia is ruthless and Adam is no exception. Your late parents will understand that you tried revenging them. You don't have to kill yourself, child.' Lance said, walking up to me.I am almost reminded of my dad because they both share the

    Adam's POVI wanted to tear him to shreds.Bloody bastard!“You came,” he said, his lips forming a wicked smirk.“You must have missed me,” he continued.I stepped forward, opening the glass door and walked in.“It's been barely a day and you're already here,” he mocked. “Seems you need my help.”“Where are they?” I asked, not interested in his bullshit.“Who?” He asked, smiling. “You have to be specific, brother.”He was mocking me.“Don’t fucking play games with me, Richard! Where are they?” I asked, pissed as hell.“I am in the mood for a game. Shall we play hide and seek?” He asked, still smiling.My voice turned hoarse and deeper. “I'm not in the mood.”“But I am,” he answered cheerfully.“What do you want?” I asked.“To leave here,” he answered, immediately.“Not a chance,” I blurted.“Now answer me. Where the hell did you put them? Kevin's family.”“Oh, them?” He asked.He was sounding more like a psychopath every single day.“Where did you keep Diana and her daughter?” I asked

    Adam's POVThe heart monitor started beeping again, and I exhaled.She coughed, her eyes still closed, and I fell to my knees. “Thank you,” I breathed.“She's stable,” I heard the doctor say. He checked her pulse and turned to me. “I'll have to watch her to avoid such things happening again.”I didn't answer, only nodding slightly while I kept my eyes on her.I should have never let her out of my sight. She was suffering because of me. This was never going to happen again.Looking at her fragile form made me want to kill Richard, but I couldn't.I stood up, and the door opened. Yumi walked in, and Christine entered a few seconds later. She had a bandage on her forehead and looked guilty. Her eyes resting on Elizabeth.“What do you want?” I asked, facing Christine.“I'm so sorry,” Christine said, her voice trembling.“That's not what I asked,” I replied. My eyes stayed glued to her. I stepped forward.Yumi stood between us, blocking my path. “I didn't help you so you could kill my cous

I wanted to send him to hell, but he was right. My hands wouldn't pull the trigger no matter how much I tried.His eyes darted to Elizabeth and back at me. “I'm taking her with me,” he announced.“In your dreams, Richard,” I growled.He moved and my gun followed. “Don’t tempt me.”“Give her to me,” Richard yelled.He was only getting her when I died. “You touch her, you're dead.”“Watch me,” he said and moved forward.“Richard, don't!” I warned, hesitating.He didn't listen and began running towards me.“Richard, don't,” Lily begged, her voice breaking.I pulled the trigger, and he fell to the floor.

There was no pain or impact.Because Richard had missed. He looked at me surprised and my eyes trailed down to Christine beneath his leg.He followed my gaze spotting her. She had pushed him at the last second.She rose, breathing hard.Elizabeth wasted no time. The second Richard stumbled, she twisted out of his hold, breaking free.I moved quickly, throwing my fist in his face. He groaned and stumbled back and I hit him again.The gun fell off his hand and blood dripped from his nostrils.“You fucking...” Richard curses, but my fist hit him hard again. He fell to the floor, holding his bleeding nose.I attacked, but he recovered dodging my punch and kicking me.I growled, and lunged at him, hitting his ribs.The blood slurped from his mouth and he growled. “I have had enough of you.”His feet met my ribs, knocking me out of his sid

Richard and Lily were at the door arguing about whatever they cared about.bI pulled the rope again, hurting my wrist and I gave up with a groan.“Don't bother sweetheart, it won't work,” Richard said, looking at me.He was right. I had been pulling the rope for hours and my wrists was already bruised.“Let’s go,” Richard finally said, adjusting his suit jacket. “She’s not going anywhere.”Lily smirked, flipping her hair over her shoulder. “Good. I’d hate to chase after her again.”She walked out, her heels clicking sharply against the floor, and Richard followed, before the door shut.Screw it. If only someone could...my eyes trailed and focused on Christine.She was on the floor picking each piece of glass and acting like I wasn't in the room.“Ow,” she groaned, holding up the finger that had been cut by the glass.Her eyes met mine and there was complete silence.She returned to picking the glass and I exhaled slowly

    Adam’s POV“We have to go back to the monastery,” Maximus yelled.I nodded and we began retreating, covering each other's movement with gunshots at the enemy.Keeping my head low, as my back hit the cold pillars of the monastery, I checked to locate the enemy's position.My men moved in calculated bursts, dodging between broken columns, returning fire with trained precision. But it wasn’t enough. We were pinned down, boxed in like rats.I saw it in their faces, the realization. We were outnumbered. The Yakuza had us trapped, pressing in from all sides.They had the upper hand. I couldn't risk my men dying. I had to think of something.Nico slid beside me, tossing a loaded gun into my hand. "Here, catch!" he shouted over the chaos.I grabbed it on instinct, barely turning my head before a bullet pierced his leg."Aaah!" He screamed falling to the floor. I quickly got down and pulled him away from the firing bullets."Are you going to be okay?" I asked, worried.He nodded, and quickly t

The sniper shooter was dead. They had handled it.Kevin’s grip tightened on my shirt. His eyes darkened. Unfocused.“Listen. I...” He coughed, blood spilling past his lips. “Christine…I...”“Don’t talk. We’ll get you out,” I said.He shook his head violently. His nails dug into my arm. “You don’t…understand.”“Please, listen to me,” he said, panting.“It was my fault. Everything. I'm sorry Adam,” he said, in a teary voice.I shook my head. “No, it's not.”“It is,” he replied. “I had been working with Lance for a while. Ever since I suspected Elizabeth wasn't here just for the money. I connected with lance through some old connections.”I listened, watching the blood pour from his mouth as he struggled to get the words out. “Christine and I were lovers. I help her
