Massimo’s POV“I said, what’re you both doing here?!” I growled again, angrily glancing between my father and Jamie and again, none of them spoke.Angrily, I looked at my wristwatch, saw that it was a few minutes past 11pm and just time for me to go home but as soon as I made the move, my father stepped into view.“Well, will you both spill the beans as to why you’re here in my office by this time of the night or do I have to walk out of here and let you both go on a glorious ride to la la land right on my table?” I snapped.I could see the anger on my father’s face at my utterance, even noticed how he fisted his hands by his sides but there was nothing I loved more than annoying the shit right out of him.“I came to see you.” He finally blurted, “… as well as to talk to you about your fiancé’s twin whom you’ve had locked up in prison for a while now.”“And how’s that any of your business? Are you sleeping with her too?” I answered immediately, head bent on annoying him to no end and
Massimo’s POV“Would you have some decency, lady douche or should I call on security to help you with your discarded dress?” I spat, fuming with anger at the prospect of being forced to witness this crazy lady’s antics.“Massimo please..”“I’m losing my patience Jamie! Put on your sack! Have some shame!” I yelled, glancing between my befuddled father and Jamie who didn’t look like she was in any way disturbed by the fact that my father could see her in this state.Were they sleeping together?“Son please, release Jannie. It’s obvious her sister here who happens to be your fiancé would go to any length to get her—” father started saying but the more he spoke, the more irritated I became with each passing minute.“What did you just call Jamie?” I snapped, abruptly cutting him off.“Your fiancé,” he replied slowly; “…or isn’t she you—?”“My what?” I cut him off again, smirking as I noticed him gnash his teeth together. “Fiancé? Is that what this ogre told you?” I asked and I wasn’t surpr
Massimo’s POVIt’s been two days! Two freaking days and still there was no sign whatsoever from Adriana. I couldn’t even say that she was kidnapped because even until now, no one has called to demand for a ransom, not even a text.At some point, I had begun to think that she had probably run away from here in a bid to escape from me until I went to look for her at her mum’s and even went as far as bribing travel agencies to know if she had contacted them or not, but still I had no luck with those.It was obvious now that she was missing and the thought of her being in danger made me mad. I couldn’t stand it.Jamie was still missing too and just like Adriana, the police had no idea of where she could be at either. I was beginning to be really frustrated.“Mr Grey, I would love it if you have a rethink… who pops up in your head when you think about an enemy who could do this to you?” The police officer, Hutch said with a serious look on his face.His hands were placed firmly on his hil
Adriana’s POV“Fuckk!” I groaned in pain. My head throbbed painfully and so did my back and lower body too.In fear, I looked around me but as usual, I couldn’t make out anything due to how dark the place was. The only light in the room was a dim one which had been placed directly over my head, making it impossible for me to see around me but possible for anyone in the room to see me.I shivered.I still couldn’t make out exactly what had happened to me but at this rate, I wasn’t sure I wanted to find out anymore. All I cared about was finding a way out of this hell hole before something terrible happens to me.“I can smell your fear from up here, the sleeping beauty is awake!” I heard someone sneer and as soon as he said those words, I jerked upright, bracing myself for whatever the stranger had in store for me.I could feel the presence of a person in the cold dark room and the aura they emanated was one to give me the chills. I desperately wanted to see the face of my abductor, to
Massimo’s POV“Jamie has been found, she was found at Admiralty way, close to an abandoned building, bruised, beaten up and knocked out cold.” Micheal said to me but I didn’t say a word. I didn’t even know what to say to him about Jamie’s new condition as I was still quite worried about Adriana.Right now, I was at my office sorting out a few files and also waiting for any sort of information from Nate, an agent whom I had hired to help me in the search for Adriana. He was well known for charging extravagantly but being precise with his job.“Any information on who had kidnapped her and why?” I finally asked with a small voice. The least thing I wanted to be found doing right now was talking about Jamie but I just couldn’t help it. It wasn’t a mere coincidence that she had been kidnapped exactly how Adriana had been and so it was worrying that she had been found but Adriana hadn't.“Yeah… her sister’s boyfriend. The young lad is in police custody right now.” Michael replied.I stared
Adriana’s POV“You’re dressed for work!” Lux replied with a mischievous smile plastered across his face. Something about the dark glint in his eyes made me shudder but there was no way I would willingly allow him see how scared I was.“I don’t work for you, Lux,” I spat defiantly, wincing when the thick ropes tied around my wrist began to cut into my skin, making blood trickle onto my skin and to the floor.“That’s not for you to decide.” He replied.At his words, my anger flared and in pure rage, I pulled against the ropes, hoping to smack him hard across the face but before I could get any closer to where he was, the ropes pulled me back, making me fall back on my butts.“You do not have much of a choice here, Adriana… You’re gonna work for me whether you want to or not,”“And where have constitutional rights gone for you to come up with something as absurd as that?” I seethed, hoping to get him to think, even though it was for a nanosecond but instead he smiled, smack his lips at m
Adriana’s POV“You’ll have to do me a favor, princess, please.11” Massimo said to me with a grin and for a minute, I thought about saying no to him because I couldn’t help but think that this was about to turn into one of his very silly jokes. I cocked my eyebrows at him.“What’s the favor?” I voiced out in confusion.One look behind him and I saw Michael or whoever it was that was behind the mask smile smugly in my direction. The smile looked really sinister and it sent shivers down my spine.“That you act according to plan.”His response made me shake my head in confusion. Taking a step away from him, I whispered; “…and how do I act according to a plan that I don't even know of in the first place.”“Just listen to whatever Michael and I tell you to do and do exactly that.” He quickly added, making me tilt my head to the side as I watched him closely.I didn’t know exactly what the plan entailed but deep down my heart I feared. I feared that this could be a mission gone wrong… a plan
Massimo’s POVWho had been shot?Had the gun been shot into the air? To scare us all away?These questions and a lot more flew through my head continuously but then I shook it off when I looked around the gathered crowd and saw that no one had fallen.I then decided that the gun had probably only been shot to scare the people around… and it worked!Everyone was distracted now, even Lux and I smirked. There was no way I would joke with a silver of opportunity such as this and with this thought in mind, I looked behind me to Michael, pointed at Adriana and commanded;“Pick her up and let’s get the fuck out of here!” I whisper-yelled to Michael who immediately bent down to pick up an unconscious Adriana.As soon as Lux noticed this move, he stepped away from his group of minions to stand before Michael and I as if in a bid to stop us both from taking Adriana out and that was when we heard it again.Another gunshot.This time, A large red patch immediately appeared on Lux’s stomach but be
