He offered her a bright smile, yet to her dismay, there was a glare hiding behind that smile. She tried to get away from his grip, but he wouldn't bulge.His hand was firmly on her waist, and she pulled him towards himself. Her nails itched to leave their mark on him, her fingers curling into tight fists as she resisted the urge to tell him that she was engaged, but that was only going to ruin her plans.She didn't mean to use his name for her own benefit, but everything turned out that way.“Didn't I tell you not to work here anymore?” Ryker leered at her.She looked away from him. “Wipe that smirk off your face; it doesn't suit you. Perhaps you could smile more genuinely; it suits your aura."Her eyes trailed towards behind him; the men that he came in with eyes were rounded in shock with their jaws hanging open.“You did like to be my girlfriend.” He leaned in to whisper in her ear. “I am helping you out.”She glared at him, but replaced it with a smile. “Thanks.” A smile crossed h
He riveted his eyes on her. She wore a pouty expression, staring at him, waiting for him to stop the car and let her out. A subtle curve formed on his lips, a mischievous glint in his eyes. He maintained the speed, ignoring her plea to stop the car. Catching her off guard, she slammed her back against the seat but clutched tightly to it.“You know this is kidnapping, Mr. Sterling,” she glared at him. “If you don't stop this car and let me out right now, I am going to jump off the car and blame you for it.”“You won't dare,” he uttered. “I already locked the door; you can't get off if I don't unlock it.”She tried, and the door wouldn't budge. “You have to let me go!”“Not until I know if you are a spy sent by Jake to stop me.”She raised a brow at him and folded her arms. “So you think I know this Jake that you are talking about? Who the hell is he?”“If you don't work for Jake, do you work for the fake FBI then?”Her brow furrowed, disbelief etched on her face. Who in the world would
“Why am I home so early?” He demanded, taking a step closer to her while she stepped back.She bit her lips; she had checked the tracker, and he wasn't going to be home sooner. She wondered why he was home so early; her eyes darted as she tried to get a glimpse of Alessandro, but he was nowhere to be found.“Where were you?” He questioned her, his eyes trailing down her body. “Why are you wearing that?”Oh no.She could have changed into something different, but she never knew that he was home.“Aren't you supposed to be back in thirty minutes?” She replied with a question.“Were you tracking me? "She shook her head. “Sort of.”He stepped closer to her until her back was pressing against the wall. His hand was caging her against the wall; he was still glaring at her.“Why do I smell a man's cologne on you?"She bit her lips, trying to come up with lies if she told him that she went to see the FBI. He was going to attack innocent Ryker for carrying her.“This is just the doctor's colo
Alexander sat in his study, his eyes glued to the screen in front of him. He had gathered up all of the information the ladies had given him. Judging from the look of things, Jake might be somewhere in the country.He had hid so well; Daisy had only given him clues about where Jake might be. He sent the information to the Mafia, and they were trying to figure out where he might be.He was still reading the ideas that the others had sent to him when there was a knock on his door. He switched the tab to see who it was; it was Yulia.“Come in.” He yelled out for her.Yulia opened the door and walked in. He turned his head to look at her. She was holding a laptop in her hand as she approached him.“Have you figured out where he is?” She inquired.He shook his head with negativity. “No, the tech team is still working on it.”Her brows furrowed in confusion. “How do you think that they will find him? They had no idea where his mother was, and now you think they might find him.”She was abou
Alessandro jumped, spun around, and hurried back into that house like he had come out. Alexander helped her with the seatbelt while she giggled.He closed the door, and in a few seconds, he was in the car with her. He began driving, the car leaving the building.“What's so funny?” He asked.She peered at him. "Nothing; Alessandro did nothing to you.”He shrugged. “Like if I care. What's the location of the restaurant?”She realized that she hadn't gotten the direction of the restaurant from Y. “Give me a second.” She pulled out her phone and called Y, who answered that call on the second ring.“Prince Q?”“What's the direction of the restaurant?”“I will send the address right away, and I will be holding the wig too.”Oops! It was then that Yulia realized that she hadn't dressed like Prince Q. She was still wearing her girly clothes.“Alexander, we have to go back!” She yelled.He turned his head to look at her. “Why?”“I am not dressed yet!” She pouted. “How could you not remind me?”
“You are speaking to us just because you want to look at your brother?’’ Yulia questioned, a confused look on her face.Denise nodded his head. “What does it look like?”Alexander was still not ready to believe Denise. “How could you turn against your brother?”Denise shrugged. “I already said that he is my half-brother.”Yulia placed her hand on the table and peered at him. “Trust me when I say this; I don't like my half sister either.”“They always want to have what's yours.” Denise pressed. “They are jealous and cruel.”“That's right.” Yulia supported.Alexander glanced at the two people who had half-siblings growing up. He couldn't relate to anything that they were saying at all.“Tell us everything that you know about your brother. Alexander ordered.Denise began speaking. “He has an obsession for action figures; he is also obsessed with women when growing up. He has always said that he was going to build an empire where men can come and purchase any woman that they want.”“When
They all sat over the large table, each of them sitting on a chair. Yulia was sitting in between Ryker and Alexander. Alessandro and Denise were sitting on the other side.The atmosphere was awkward.After she admitted that she killed the old lady and the man, Ryker looked mad; instead of attacking her, he lunged at Alexander, and the both of them got into a furious fight.It took so much willpower to separate them. Although they were home now, the men were surely glaring at each other. Alexander had a bandage on his right cheek, while Ryker had one on his left cheek.“Princess, you went out and brought him another best friend. Am I not good enough for you?” Alessandro demanded, breaking the silence just as he had broken the pen in his hand.Yulia stared at Alessandro; he had an annoyed expression on his face. “Not you too.”“Where was he when I was helping you in college? He wasn't even there when you needed him the most."Alessandro muttered. “And he is a cop; I hate cops.”“I'm not
“This is it; I will be the one to let myself get caught, and you all will know your position." Yulia ordered.A few FBI agents and the mafia were in the large office as she spoke. The FBI had decided to work with the Mafia to catch Jake. Although it was hard for them to stay in the same room, especially the ladies,.The FBI women criticize the Mafia women for drowning themselves in cigarettes and tattoos. The FBI smokes, too.Currently, just as Yulia was speaking, an FBI agent and a mafia lady were arguing.The men ignored them; they could fight all they wanted. As long as they could find Jake. Everyone needed him for one thing or another. Yulia wanted to find her mother.That was the reason she wanted to let herself get caught.“Are you going to pick two more ladies to make it convincing?” Ryker suggested. “If you go with two more ladies, I can be calm because you're not there alone.”Yulia glanced at the ladies in the room and shook her head. She was better off without them; they mi
