Listening to Zieve's words Shasha could not understand whether she should be happy that there was a way out for her or she should be worried because he was trying to blackmail her now with her truth. She tried to fight back one more time and replied," How can you blackmail me like this Zieve? I am your friend from past seven years. We have been living like a family and yet.... you are not ready to let this go but are even trying to blackmail me?" She wore the expressions of being wronged and this made Zieve smirk. He said," What an irony... the person who has been wronged here is being accused of doing wrong and that too.... by whom? The person who did wrong with him. Huh! Your antics are not going to work anymore. So, it would be great if you would take your time to think about it and let me know whether you will do as i say or not.... because my time is precious. I don't like wasting it over unworthy things. I will give you three minutes to think and give me the answer. And..... yo
At her apartment Fuoco was checking the list of things that had been sent by Nick. It was her first time to go out on a mission with them so, Nick was helping her by guiding her about the things that would be needed. Fuoco was experiencing all kind of emotions, she was excited, nervous, curious and eager. She had been asking every person (except Zieve) from the core team to share their experiences and guide her. Each one of them had been giving her tips and sharing their experiences but Nick had overshadowed all of them. He was worried they will encourage her to act brave and then do something stupid which could put her life in danger. So, He also narrated her a few incidents from the past when they went on their missions and had to face different kind of challanges. He told her what mistakes they made and what they should have done instead. What kind of problems they got into by taking wrong decision and breaking protocols. He had shared highest number of incidents among all of them
Zieve also went home after he saw that Shasha had left. Although, he had a bagpack in his office which was already packed with all the necessary things required by him for his mission, he went home to pick one that was kept there. Zieve was very disciplined and believed in saving time which is why, he preferred being prepared all the time. Following this he had got a few bagpacks ready for his missions, in advance and kept them at different places like his office, home, Dark knight club, and many other places where he usually spent most of his time. These bagpacks had all the things which were enlisted in the list that Nick had shared with Fuoco earlier that day. That list was prepared by Zieve when they were in the early stages of building their team but it was little different from what it is now, because over time they have been adding or removing things from it to make it more better. Zieve's plan to leave for the site was sudden because when he received recent updates today, he
Mr. and Mrs. Stocks came out of their mansion with their son to see him off after the dinner. There was enough time that's why Zieve wasn't in a hurry. He hugged his parents like he usually did whenever he was going for vacations with his friends (atleast this was what his parents were thinking, in reality he used to go on mission like this). Since, there was stability in their organisation now, so, from the past one year, Zieve hadn't gone to any mission. He usually went on business trips to expand their business but there was no need for him to go on any mission like this to solve any crisis. Although, there had always been an occurrence of small issues from time to time but for them his team members were enough. It was only during the initial year of him taking over Stocks group of companies that he had to deal with a lot of such issues. As time went by, he was able to establish a strong team and network of capable people which helped in keeping things under control. This was the
Leaving Stocks Mansion behind Zieve headed towards Dark knight club. He wanted to hold a small meeting with Fuoco and Nick, so that they could discuss some important things before leaving for the site. He didn't wanted to admit it but he was worried for Fuoco and his sole reason for going on this trip was her. It was her who had earlier asked permission to handle this mission and Nick jumped in to prevent it as he wanted to take care of it by himself (Nick was only trying to protect her by somehow not allowing her to go on that mission but others thought that he wanted to go himself that's why he was saying so). As a matter of fact, Zieve had no choice but to pitch in that he was coming with them on that mission. He could have stopped Fuoco from going there and could have assigned it to Nick to handle it but he didn't do that for specific reason. If he had declined Fuoco from going on the mission it would have become a bad example and people might have begun to doubt Fuoco's capabilit
When Zieve reached Dark knight club, Nick was already there but Fuoco was yet to come. As, he parked his car and went inside, he dialled up Nick's number to ask if they were ready. Nick confirmed that he was ready but also updated that Fuoco hadn't arrived yet. This made Zieve scrunch his eyebrows but as he knew there was still half an hour left before it's the time to begin their meeting, he didn't say anything.Nick enquired," Is everything okay, Zie?"Zieve was pulled back from his thoughts and replied," Yes".He and Nick had reached the club before time but as Fuoco was new so it was understood that she would not come half an hour ahead of the time like them.When he disconnected his phone, Nick was already downstairs and met him on his way. As they continued towards meeting hall, Nick looked at him using side glances.... there was something off about his best friend, Today..... but he couldn't tell what was it that was troubling him this time. Zieve didn't wanted to show concer
Fuoco dismissed her thoughts regarding what she saw a moment ago in Zieve's eyes and brought her attention to the others present in the meeting hall. She scolded herself for imagining things and decided to concentrate her focus on her work at hand. She greeted everyone while finding a seat for herself to settle down. She spotted one across the large round table and quickly rushed to settle in, hoping that she don't interrupt the ongoing discussion. Once Fuoco sat down she looked up and realised.... she was sitting exactly opposite to Zieve. Her cheeks begin to heat up and turned light shade of pink as soon as she realised it. They were facing each other and as their eyes met Fuoco could feel her stomach churn. He was looking in her direction and she could feel his gaze even when she was not looking at him. She begin to doubt her decision of going on this mission when Zieve was also coming with them. She was worried how would she survive the trip when he would be by her side 24×7. She
The site that everyone has been referring to until now was near a small town of Wheatley which was somewhere around 300 km southwest from their current location. It was located near the coast of a prominent lake and was one of their major personal ports for exports. The stocks group of companies was a big company and it needed to dispatch a lot of goods on daily basis to different locations across globe. This transportation took place by road, air and water. They had their private planes, private trucks, private ships and even private ports for this purpose. One of such ports was located at this site and that made it an important issue to be dealt with, as soon as possible.From the past few days, their intelligence department have been receiving reports of attack on this site and their goods being looted by unidentified people. Not only did it caused their company some financial loss but also made it loose some face in front of their clients because of the delay in delivery of the
Stephen was clearly harbouring ill intentions towards Fuoco and now, he was showing it without fear. She was his hostage, now. There was no need for him to pretend to be a decent guy in front of Fuoco to impress her. As his truth was already out in front of her, he knew he had nothing to loose. He had been dreaming of having her since the day he saw her for the first time but he had to keep his feelings hidden because of Zieve and Nick. He was on cloud nine after kidnapping them and sending them there because he was dreaming of persuing Fuoco without any disturbance from the two of them. That's why, he was very happy when she approached him in the morning and he didn't suspect any of her moves. Little did he knew that Fuoco was much more than he expected. She acted as if she was just a showpiece and didn't possessed real knowledge. She hid her fighting skills so well and made him believe that she was no threat to him that's why he was angry and taken aback, when he saw her fighting wi
Fuoco's eyes become red with anger and she was looking at Stephen as if she would swallow him. She was not going to tolerate his insolence. She was waiting for one wrong move by him and that would be enough to take things under her control. Until then, she had to bear everything and keep her anger under control. Her face had also turned red because of anger and Stephen chuckled looking at how angry she was. He moved a bit closer and begin to move his gun that he had pointed at her head to her face. The Muzzle of his gun was sending chills through her body from where it was touching her soft skin. He moved it from her forehead to her cheeks and then.... touched her lips with it. Her plum red lips were looking very inviting to him and he was looking at them like a hungry wolf. Lust was clearly visible in his eyes and he could be seen trying his best to control himself. He teased her lips with the muzzle of his gun and Fuoco clenched her fingers so hard that her nails begin to dig into h
Fuoco was ignoring Stephen's eyes but she could feel his eyes traveling her body, which was making her blood boil. She controlled her anger but Stephen was not going to stop there. He begin to come closer and Fuoco begin to step backward. But, after two steps she could not move further as there was a wall behind her. She stood at her place and begin to wait for Stephen's next move. Stephen stopped just a few inches away from her. She could even feel his breath on herself. She clenched her hands into fists in anger but Stephen was still pointing the gun on her head, so, she couldn't act rashly. Soon, Stephen raised his hand and begin to move it towards her face. Fuoco turned red with anger."What are you doing?" she growled as Stephen reached out to tuck a loose hair behind her ear. She was taken aback. She was wondering what was going on in his evil head. Inside that room which was next to where Fuoco and Stephen were standing, Zieve's patience was giving off. He was thinking of break
Stephen ignored her demeanour and the look she was giving him while crushing those gadgets. Fuoco's eyes were clearly filled with the intent to kill. Once, she was done Stephen told her to go back to her place and stand with her hands up behind her head. Fuoco did as was told and went back to her place. She begin to wait for his next instruction but it never came. Instead, he kept standing in front of her with a gun in his hand pointed towards her. Stephen smirked when he saw Fuoco obeying his instructions obediently. He was staring at her and his eyes kept traveling from her head to her body till her toe. Lust was clearly visible in his eyes and he looked divided as if he was not being able to decide what he should do. Fuoco could feel goosebumps as Stephen's eyes travelled and scanned every inch of her body. She could feel him scanning her but she didn't looked back at him. She ignored him as if his presence was nothing to her. She was just thinking about how to snatch the gun from
Stephen and Fuoco were standing facing each other. Fuoco could now see his face clearly and confirm that he was Stephen. He stood in front of her with a gun at her forehead at a distance of point zero. She stopped in her tracks and stood at her place motionless. Stephen smirked wickedly at her reaction and begin to come closer. He stopped when his gun touched her forehead. Fuoco could feel the cold metal and an electricity ran through her body. Her sixth sense told her that this man was not going to be an easy one to tackle. She had no fear of her own life but it was just not her but her friends were there too whose lives she couldn't put at risk, so, she decided to play along. Stephen commanded her to raise her hands in the air. Fuoco did as was told and showed him her hands to confirm him that there wasn't any weapon with her that she was hiding. Stephen asked her to take off her jacket and put it aside. Fuoco was taken aback by this command but she didn't had any option other than
"You hid yourself so well... didn't you?" said that man in a familiar voice. Fuoco stopped struggling for a moment and tried to look back at that man but he tightened his hold on her neck to stop her from turning back to look at him. Fuoco begin to struggle as soon as his grip on her neck tightened because she was feeling difficulty in breathing. She was even trying to speak something but was not being able to because of the choking. Fuoco was very much capable of freeing herself but she wanted to play along as it was not her life alone but her friends lives too were at stake. Although, that man loosened his grip a little as soon as he saw her struggle for breathing. Fuoco begin to cough vigorously as soon as the grip around her neck was loosened. After a while, when her breathing returned to normal she spoke," What do you think i hid about myself, Mr. Stephen?" After listening to Fuoco's words, a wicked smile appeared on Stephen's face. Fuoco had recognised him by his voice, despite
Fuoco was held by someone from behind and a gun was placed against her forehead. Her sixth sense was telling her that someone was behind her but when she had looked back at that time she found no one. She decided to go and check it later after tying that man she had knocked unconscious and that was where she made the biggest mistake she shouldn't have done. If she had left that work in the middle and had gone to look around to check if her doubt was correct or not, it would not have happened. Now, she stood there feeling helpless because her one wrong move would have put her live as well as the lives of her friends in danger. She decided to stay calm and wait for the right opportunity to attack this unknown person and free herself. The way she was grabbed from behind and the amount of force that was used to do so, Fuoco guessed that this person who was helding her was a man and he was a little taller than her. She begin to wait for that person to speak so that she could identify, who
As soon as Fuoco realised that there was a possibility of involvement of any of those three old groups that his uncle had mentioned and she had forgotten about them, she decided to use this man fighting with her as the source of information to reach those masters behind him. She had by far identified the fighting techniques he was using and she was trained to tackle as well as defeat such an opponent by her Uncle Shera. So, without wasting much time she dodged his attack and did an overhead flip to jump towards his backside. Now, she was facing his back and before he could turn towards her or anticipate her next move, she used both of her hands to attack him. She aimed towards the right side of his neck and with her one hand attacked it with lightening speed while used her another hand to attack one specific place on her lower back. She had attacked specific points of his body with a specific goal in mind- to make him loose his consciousness. Her attack was so swift that the man in bl
Fuoco had recognised the fighting style of that man in black. Both of them were giving a tough fight to each other and now, that man had begin to slow down because he had used a lot of his energy. He had therefore received minor injuries following Fuoco's attack on him that he couldn't dodge timely. He was feeling weaker while Fuoco on the other hand didn't looked tired at all and this was because of her regular training and healthy diet. She was trained to keep fighting for long hours, without getting tired, by using moves that saved a lot of her energy. Her training was monitored by both her father and Uncle Shera since she begin training as a child. Luckily, despite being in coma for seven long years her body hadn't forgotten any of the training she received in her childhood before that uneventful night. As a result, she was able to make a come back in such a short span of time. Fuoco didn't seemed even a bit of flustered and was looking cool as if it was a game of children for he
