Alex POVI have been avoiding Alfonso because I have nothing to say to him. After the search on Tyler's car's number led us no where, we are yet to have a concrete information.We have been checking the footage of cameras just like he had ordered but we are yet to get anything concrete.While I was at it, a summon propped up from Alfonso. It was meant for Jericho, he was summoned to come alongside Leia. Yeah, that is big boss for you, he takes the bull by the horn. I informed Jericho and soon he was down in Alfonso's chambers with his wife. I was also present."Given the fact that you were just informed about Russo's death, I had thought I will receive your visitation but it never come," Alfonso said to Leia as soon as we walked in.Leia said nothing. She bowed in greetings without responding."What can you say about your friend. I mean Tyler," Alfonso went straight to the point and showed Leia a seat.Leia looked surprised and looked questioningly at Jericho."Did you report me to …
Jericho POV, Few minutes has passed since Leia and her nurse maid left for the rest room. I have been technically bouncing on my toes, never had I been this impatient and aggravated all my life. Time was tucking away, yet there was no trace of Leia. My head had literally turned into a standing fan, spinning back and forth for a sign of her but there was no trace. Fed up of the shit, I decided to make a move but just as I made two steps away from my standing position, I felt a hand grab my arm making me twirl back to see it was Alex. My eyes instantly turned to inferno. “What?!” I gritted my teeth, my whole being burning with rage. Alex squirmed his face before sighing and said; “Tell me you aren’t fucking going to meet Leia in the restroom. You’ve to calm down! Give them some privacy, man! It's the ladies not your personal closet.Calm down? Really? Is that a joke or sort?How can I? when I am literally angry with entirely everything right now. Starting with Alfonso; the nerve of
LEIA’S P.O.VI stared at the content of the glass of tequila I was clutching in my palm. I laughed sheepishly and downed it all at once again. “Another... shot," I slurred as I pushed the short glass over to the blonde haired bartender. The command was becoming a mantra as I had rolled it out countless times already.“ I..I’m sorry ma’am, if you don’t mind, I think you’ve drank enough already, I mean this is the 11th glass...” The bartender said in an extremely mild voice. "Seriously?!" I blurted out. Rage like molten magma surged through me and I banged my fist hard against the counter. “Have you gone crazy? Who the hell are you to lecture me?" I barked out.The idiot flinched at my sudden outburst and went trembling like a jellyfish. “Umm N..n..no miss...I was just...” she stuttered. “Shut the fuck up and do your fucking job!" I yelled and she instantly got busy with the glass cup. Yeah, I know she was only trying to show concern and my reaction was absurd, perhaps would you blame
"I will teach you a lesson!" I yelled furiously. Actually, I do not always give a damn about other's business but not on an occasion such as this.I aimed a fist at the guy's face but my gait failed and I missed my target. My fist rammed into the wall just behind his head. The guy burst into a manic laughter. He seized up my free arm and spun me around to face him.He pushed me and pinned me against the wall. "What a better replacement," he muttered hoarsely and licked his lips as he eyed me seductively. He pinned my two hands to the wall and brought his face close for a kiss. I ducked the contact and moved my head sideways. My gaze fell on the tiny girl and I smiled in relief as I saw her try to stand to her feet.The guy drew my chin roughly to himself. He rammed his lips into mine and took my lips forcefully in his. I felt nauseated, I lifted up my knee and kicked his engorged dick. He screamed and I smiled. I got the opening I needed and rushed towards the girl to help her up.
Jericho’s POVAlex and I left the gym house after I’d received a call from Alberto. Alex is my PA while Alberto is one of my henchmen whom I’d assigned different sections to root out those morons who either snitched on or betrayed the mafia. I had just got the Intel that one of such bloody rats had been nabbed in the United States. I instructed Alberto to handle him with the rest of my men while I came to finish. Clems is one of the traitors I’d been searching for hook, line and sinker but I kept getting bloody excuses from Alberto and finally for his sake he’d made himself useful. Well maybe some things indeed happen at the right time. I'd get some of my men to get the private jet ready and in less than an hour, everything was in place. I was fully dressed in my usual all black attire and same goes with Alex. “Aren’t we informing grande capo about this?” Alex inquired as we were making our way to the airplane, referring to my father. Before we got there one of the boys who were
Alex left me to have fun while I remained glued to my seat and continued to feed my eyes. I started feeling pressed and made my way to the restroom. It wasn’t that hard to find. I did my business and was just coming out of the toilet when I heard tiny screams from the other wall. It sounded like the cry of a woman. 'What is a woman doing in the male's restroom?' I asked myself as I trailed the direction of the voice What I saw sent grenades exploding in my head. Some fucker was trying to violatet a woman. I knew this has got nothing to do with me but I’ve grown up to believe one rule; “no man hurts a woman and go scout-free." I wasted no time in descending on the brute. I made sure to beat smugness out of the fucker. I broke his nose, jaw and made him lose some of his teeth then I dragged his ass out. When I steered myself around, I took in the hips of the almost naked woman I had just rescued and I realized she was actually the woman who had gotten my attention back at the club.
Leia's POVMy head banged. My lips were dry and I felt sore down there. Slowly I flicked my eyes open but instantly shut them back. My mind was abruptly thrown into panic mode. The knight in shining armor I had met last night at the club was somehow on top of me!After gathering enough courage, I opened my eyes once more. The settings looked unfamiliar and I was at a loss. It took a while before my brain finally gave me information about what happened last night. I buried my face in my palm in shame. How could I have been so stupid? I had sex with a man I knew nothing about. He was dashingly striking, but I should have kept it together.Pain ripped through my heart as I remembered how it all played out. I remembered it vividly, I threw myself at him because I was drawn to him. Above all, I did this because I couldn't bear to give out my virginity to the mafia boss my father had arranged for me. "You are wrong Leia, this makes no sense," I lectured myself and rage surged through me.I
Leia! Come out of that room this minute!" My father banged the door with his hand. More tears went down my cheeks. I didn't want to come out. It was finally the day I had to meet with the Banda's family and I had my heart in my throat. I kept imagining different scenarios that could play out when I eventually go there. “Leia if you don't come out this minute, this door is going down and you'll regret ever locking it" my father roared from outside, but I didn't budge.My mother spoke. “Leia don't be stubborn. You need to go there now”"I don't want to get married to Jericho mum” I cried out."What nonsense did she just say?” I heard my father's strong hand banging hard against the door and I flinched. "You have been so soft on this girl, that's why she has the effrontery to act like this” as he said those words, more tears went down my cheeks. I had thought my father always pretended not to care about how I felt. At that point, I realized he never for once pretended.“Leia darling we

Lucita POVI am obsessed about Jericho and knew it. Well you wouldn't blame me, he was my first love and my betrothed. When I walked through the shadows of death, he was the only substance that kept me fighting for my life. I am back on my feet and there is no way I can live on without him.Since l'd left the Bandas' mansion, I could not but think about him. Apparently, I might have lost him but I can't lose him for real. We can't remain under the same sky and he would be locked up in another woman's bosom.No! It can never be. The thought alone is infuriating. I will rather have him taken out. Yes, if I can't have him, no one would. Neither Leia nor some other women.At this point I could not help but think that Andro's intervention made me lose Jericho. If I had returned to him earlier, he wouldn't have met that bitch. And when I returned, Jericho couldn't feel my sincerity. I had grown past the naive and gentle lady he knew.Well, I won't cry over spoilt milk. I have lost Jericho
Alex POVTwo cars rode out of the property right after Leia's car. We followed in close proximity but Leia did not suspect a thing. This made me agree to Alfonso's delusions, Leia has indeed become docile. Well, I am happy that my friend and boss is soon becoming a father but above all I wish for his happiness and his wife's as well.It was hard to gather the men and follow them out without answering to Jericho. He only asked casually and he stopped pestering me after I snubbed him.I decided to go with our men because I did not want any flop. This was sir Alfonso's biddings it has to be done clean and perfect. Moreover I needed to see things for myself.Something did not sit down well with me. It was Sandra's disposition. She was alert and sensitive and there was no doubt that she would have caught on.I expected her to greet us or inform Leia but she didn't. Rather she feigned ignorance and maintained her position right beside Leia.Few of my men waited around the parking lot while
Alex POVWork was choking me up but I had to do it all alone. Jericho was busy with Leia and the task was not something I could give out to our subordinates.It was the end of the month and I had enough on my plate. Reports had rolled in from every one of our facilities around the world. I had to audit the whole thing and ascertain that each facility is doing well. This task is usually handled by Jericho or me.Jericho has been hanging around Leia since things started to fall apart between them, leaving me to face the heavy workloads.I knew this was going to happen when he kept such big intimation from Leia. Yeah, he did it with a good intention. He did it to protect her but hey, he should have known that Leia isn't a weakling, she won't welcome such an excuse.Thinking about it all aroused my curiosity. I am more curious about the source of the whole malady. Isn't it strange that a man from nowhere was the one who broke the news to Leia? A fucking childhood friend or whatever. I s
Alfonso POV, As I stood on the rooftop of my apartment, all that claded my mind was Lucita and whoever was behind her. This time around I was navigating ways on how to deal with them ruthlessly as soon as I got my hands on them. Fucking hell, I can’t beleive that the investigation on just one woman...One damn woman is suddenly becoming like a wild goose chase. The fact that the men I sent to tail her got killed, still gets me boiling. They were my elite men. Clenching my fist around the shot glass that I was holding, I took another sip from it. Impatience turns to rage as I waited for the fucker Luca to gave arrived already.And In a few hours, which felt like eternity, Luca finally arrived along with the other men. With a smirk, I watched as their cars zoomed in furiously and they all alighted. I nodded sideways toward one of the guards standing at the rare end of the rooftop and he knew what to do. He bowed and in a few minutes time, he led Luca up all the way. “If you don’t h
Leia's POVI was still mad at everyone and most especially Jericho. Seeing that I am back with him pissed me off. I wanted to stay away from him as long as I could.Well, I won't blame him but my family that released me back into his hands.The only thing holding me down here is my pregnancy. I had to respect the fact that I wasn't as agile as before. Back in Dallas when I saw blood dripping down my thighs, I was scared to the bones, I thought I had lost my baby. I don't think I will be able to live on if anything happens to my baby. It's the only thing that gives me joy. I am six months gone and I can't wait to see the man in there.I patted my stomach and smiled wearily.My phone beeped and I picked it up, smiling. It was Tyler."Hello Tyler," I said weakly into the phone."For goodness sakes! You scared the hell out of me. Your phone has been out of coverage since the last time we met. I contemplated paying you a visit today if I still can't reach you," he said with his voice lade
Luca's POVLuca left his father's chambers infuriated. He knew Alfonso well but he is also a man with his own principles. Hearing Alfonso say that he would take him out if he made a mistake was too far, it hit him hard but he decided to let it go.The next morning, he left in the company of two guards. He had no option he had to carry out his father's biddings. More so, he is as curious as his father.He is curious to find out what led to the death of Jacobs and Jade. They were one of their elite men and it was a slap on their face that they were wasted while trailing a woman. With his guard, he made his way down to the morgue. They were allowed in and led to the freezers where Jacob's and Jade's bodies were kept..They carried out thorough examinations, with the help of a professional. It was discovered that there were excessive scratches on each body and they possible scratched themselves to death.Apart from the scratches, nothing stood out on each body. After thorough examina
Luca's POVMy head remained bowed as Alfonso lashed out on me. I just gave him a bad report. Two of our most elite men turned up dead after trying to track down Lucita's location.The team maintained contact with them a few hours before they were caught off. Back up team and search team spurred into action immediately.They located the point where they had the last contact with them. Their dead bodies turned up just within circumference.The team ran different investigations around the location but nothing was unusual and it led nowhere."The backup team should have been on standby, not far from them!" Alfonso yelled and went berserk. He hauled different articles at but my head remained bowed."We did not deem it necessary to provide them with back up since they were unto just… Lucita, we did not see it coming..""Stop the crap! Just Lucita!? Is this how you will run the family business when I am gone!? Just Lucita? We have been trying to track her for good three months, shouldn't tha
