Emily’s life is at risk as long as those lunatics are alive. Also, the terrible fact is they won’t stop searching for her until they find her. This thought had been roaming in my head all night, making me sleepless. Even though one of my men will look after her when I leave, I can’t shake off the feeling that some part of me is still afraid.

Now, before they move on her, I need to stop them.

In short, I need to unalive them all as soon as possible.

At least before they inform about her to Marcellus.

Emily has no idea what I went through when Keith told me that Marcellus’ men were after her. I was trying to keep myself together when deep inside I almost had a panic attack.

“What are you doing?” the voice is very familiar.

I turn around and find Emily standing at the doorframe in her black lace-trim cami top and jeans.

She looks fresh.

Yeah, I had to lift her in my arms and take her to bed since she was in a deep sleep.

“Good morning, beautiful,” I smirk at her as she approaches me and

    The door is wide open as Keith and I stride inside the brightly lit room, my hands shoved into the pockets of my blue jeans. The room buzzes with people—cameras, crew members, and the audience filling their seats. My eyes scan the place carefully, and my footsteps are steady and deliberate as I move through the crowd.“Being here alone without security… I don’t like it, “ Keith mutters under his breath, which is clearly audible.I glance at him as a smirk tugs at the corner of my lips. “Relax, It’s not like anyone knows here who I am. To them, I’m just another guy in the audience.”Today, I wear a white shirt with jeans, while Keith is dressed in a black hoodie and baggy pants. We’re here disguised as normal people.He sighs. “Are you sure this is the only way to catch him?” His tone is edged with doubt.“It’s the cleanest way,” I reply. “No guards. No blood… not yet.”We reach our seats somewhere toward the middle of the rows. They’re simple cushioned chairs, far too comfortable for

    I pull the slider and press the muzzle against the man's forehead, who is kneeling before me. Sweat trickles down from the sides of his head. "I'm going to ask you for the last time," I say, my voice as rigid as a stone. "Was it Marcellus who sent you to spy on me?"He shakes his head. "I told you already..." he trails off as he shivers violently. "The person who used to call me every night never revealed his name or who he worked for. However, every night he would ask me for information about you and I would give it to him. In return, he would send me a large sum of money."It's definitely him. Unlike Marcellus, I have never been conspired against by any mafia leader to date because they already know what the consequences will be like. He sees me as a fragile glass he can easily crush with his hands. Little does he know that the same glass can make him bleed if he crushes it with bare hands. "What did you tell him about me?" I ask.He pauses for a few seconds before answering in

    I give Dom a quick smile, but it fades as I swiftly walk around the counter and grab his collar pulling him into my face.“What the…!” I don’t let him finish that sentence as I shout in his face “You moron!”"How could you do this!" I shout, shaking him roughly by his collar. "What did I do?" he manages to ask, struggling to break free.“Show me your phone!” I yell.“Alright! Alright!” he breathes as he shoves his hand in the front pocket of his jeans and hands me his phone. I free him from my grip and snatch the phone. I know I’m being harsh on him, but I’m mad right now.I swipe up on the screen to unlock Dom's phone with one hand while swiping mine with the other.“Where did you save Lizzie’s number?” I glare at him. “I…uh since she dictated her number I saved it in my notes and then forwarded it to you” he shrugs.There is only one likely explanation, either Dom noted down the wrong number or I messaged the incorrect one.After I match the numbers I throw a deadly glare at him.“Y

    I don’t even bother to look at the flowers Emily is introducing to me, because it’s really hard for me to focus on anything other than her captivating presence. I don’t feel attracted to anything thing when she is around.Her face radiates more beauty than any flower. Her scent is more enchanting than any blossom. When she smiles with her pink lips, it feels as if my entire life hinges on that moment.God, why is she like this?Visiting her shop to explore it was just an excuse to meet her again. I want to get close to her. I want to know more about her. I want her to know how much I like her.The first time I met her, she did the exact opposite of what I had expected her to do. She didn’t kick me out or insult me for knocking when I as a stranger to her walked into her house so abruptly. Well, I wouldn’t be mad at her if she had done that to me.She had a right.But she didn’t.Those hours that I spent with her, although she didn’t tell me much about her other than her family and her

    Emily lets out a painful hiss as I carefully stick the bandaid on the cut she has on her forehead.“There,” I murmur, cupping her face afterwards.I insisted a lot that I would call my personal doctor for her check-up, but she straight up refused. I didn't argue further because she looked fatigued.Seeing her in pain suffocates my soul.We’re in the living room right now. Me, her and Keith, obviously.“Now,” I begin, lifting her chin. Her enchanting amber-gold eyes stare into mine. “Tell me whatever happened. How did they come to know about you?”“They assume I’m your spy,” she shrugs. “Listen, Zack, I didn’t intend to spy on them but couldn’t help myself when I heard your name.”“Why did you go to that abandoned factory in the first place?” Keith questions as he slouches on the couch.“I didn’t,” Emily argues. “They were in an apartment. I had to deliver an order in the same building they were in.”“Do you remember the room no.?” I ask, holding her cold hands in mine.She looks at the

    I glance at the little girl, who is settled in my lap comfortably yet scared. Her head rests against my chest as I hold her close to myself.“What is the child’s name?” the officer asks. My gaze shifts to him again.He looks like he is in his mid-twenties, holding a pen and sitting straight in his chair.I shake my head. “I don’t know.”He nods, understandably.Yes, I told the cop everything that I had been through, as well as everything that the little girl had been through.I have decided not to file a complaint against those mafia members. I'm not scared of them, but it would be pointless. They have so much power that they can control the police and make them do what they want. If I were to raise an issue, I’m worried they would start trouble with me, even though I haven’t done anything to them. It just feels safer to stay away from them and avoid any problems.I know they are still searching for me, but as far as I know, Zack will handle them himself once he comes to know what act

    I drop the phone in my lap. A sob escapes from my lips.Now how will I get out of here?Those guys are searching everywhere for me. Probably. I don’t think they will quit until they stain their clothes with my blood. On the other hand, Zack’s phone is switched off.I think his phone battery must be dead. I'm pretty sure about this because there’s just no way he would keep his phone turned off. He is the kind of person who stays connected, especially with me even when he's in a significant meeting. He knows that I can call him at any time, and usually, he picks up the phone within just a few seconds. It’s unusual for him not to answer, which makes me believe that his phone must have run out of power.But right now he was my only hope and… now it’s gone too.But then, I pause.Wait… maybe there still is hope.Zack’s phone might have run out of battery but Keith’s?I quickly pick up my phone again and scroll through my contacts again.Keith.Keith.Please don’t disappoint me again.Got i

    I open the factory door and get it, locking it from the inside.I pant. Sweat trickles down from my face as I stare at the door while simultaneously taking a few steps back. I turn around.This doesn’t look like an abandoned factory, however old.Thick solid walls, made of brown bricks. Rows of wide windows with metal frames. A high ceiling exposes a network of industrial piping.I glance down.The floors are concrete with visible wear, and stains from oil. Old, obsolete machinery stands in the corners, some are bolted to the floor. Metal pendant lights are hanging to the ceiling as I glance upwards. Only one of them is working.“There you are,” a familiar voice sneers behind me.I turn instantly.The guy with brunette hair is holding a pistol in his right hand.“There is nowhere else to go, blondie,” he smirks, but doesn’t aim at me.I don’t waste a second and run toward the rusted staircase, ascending as quickly as possible, hoping to escape, only to get caught by the bald guy at the

    “So you do see a future with him, don’t you?” Lizzie speaks through the phone, clearly teasing me.“I don’t know,” I shrug as I tap my pen on the table while speaking to her. “He is involved with the mafia, Lizzie. He has enemies in every corner of the world, which means that even if I choose to spend the rest of my life with him, I will need to be cautious. Wherever I go, I will have security with me for my safety, and I won’t be able to do anything freely.”“But that doesn’t change the fact that you like him,” she giggles.I pause and let out a sigh. “I know.”I love Zack, but I can’t help feeling scared sometimes. He talked to me about one of his biggest enemies, a guy named Marcellus. Zack has explained how Marcellus is making plans to bring him down, which left me feeling anxious and worried about his safety.Because of this, I tried hard not to get too close to Zack. I thought that if something bad happened to him, it would be too much for me to handle. But despite my best effor

    The hum of the monitors fills the room as I walk in, Keith trailing behind me. The dim light from the screens casts shadows on the walls. My men are already at their posts, eyes glued to the live feeds displayed across the dozens of screens. It’s a masterpiece of security, but right now, my focus isn’t on my empire—it’s on Marcellus. I take a seat in the centre of the room, Keith settling into the chair next to me. His expression is as serious as mine. “Switch the camera,” I order, my voice calm but firm. One of my men, a wiry guy named Nate, nods and starts tying away at the console. Within moments, the screen in front of me changes to a live feed of a meeting room. It’s a simple setup: a long table, a few chairs, and men scattered around, talking among themselves. I lean back in my chair, my fingers tapping lightly on the armrest. “Mute?” I ask, already knowing the answer. “Still muted,” Nate confirms. “Fix it,” I say, my tone sharper this time. He scrambles to adjust the feed

    I step out of the car and narrow my brows.“Why didn’t you let me open the door for you?” Zack asks, sounding a bit upset.I turn around. “Why are we here?” I ask, changing the topic.Sometimes he acts like a stubborn baby.But only in front of me.He has stopped the car in a parking lot.“Uh…,” Zack walks around the car. I notice a red fabric he’s holding in his hands.“What is this now?” I point at it.“Turn around and close your eyes,” his tone sounds more like a command than a request. So I do as he says.He wraps the cloth around my eyes with a firm knot.“Zack,” I giggle as he holds my hands and escorts me somewhere.This proves how much faith I have in him; I can follow him wherever he leads me.After a while, he stops and then scoops me in his arm making me chuckle. “What are you up to, Zack?” I laugh.All of a sudden I hear the soft roar of the waves.Finally, he put me down and said, “Are you ready?”“Yeah,” I sound impatient.He unties the cloth and as it falls from my eyes
