Adrianna POV.I had not moved any inch from where I was sitting. I looked and saw that it was Ivy."Why were you running? Do you know I thought that we were under attack," I told her and she chuckled."I am sorry if you were in an action mood," she said and I glared at her."We need to start ready right now," she said and I raised my eyebrows at her."We still have time," I complained."Time? We still have time, you say?" She asked angrily and I did not see what was making her angry. I know that she is eager to go to the party but not at the point to get angry about it. Therefore, I nodded my head since I did not know what to say."For goodness sake Adrianna be serious," she yelled and I glared at her. "Look what time it is."When she said that, I told her my phone since I had already removed my wristwatch. "What! How?" To say that I am shocked is really an understatement. It is 6:30 and we are supposed to be there by eight. And the drive is one hour. Therefore that means that we onl
Ace POV.My brother-in-law arrived some few days ago. He owns his company and different restaurants but not as many as I do. My parents came back from their trip yesterday since they were also supposed to go to the ball. Today is the ball's day.The charity foundation was founded by Mary Scott. She died when I was little but I knew her. She was one of the women in the mafia who cared deeply about family and the innocent but she loved children more. She sent a children's home and every year, there was a ball to donate for it. She claimed that since we are monsters, we can also be at least kind and one of the ways is to show love and care to the little kids with no family. I am aware that most of the mafia leaders will be present and some will also try talking to me. As much as I would love to decline the talks, some of the leaders always have great ideas. I am actually looking forward to hearing some and making new allies.The time has already flown and I need to start getting ready be
Adrianna POV.I walked towards the bartender. "What can I offer you?" He asked with a smile and I gladly reciprocated. "The strongest wine please," I said and he nodded his head before disappearing.After a few, he came back and placed it in front of me. I looked at a chair which was there and I started drinking."What is a beautiful lady like you doing here alone?" Someone asked and I glanced at him. He is old and he thinks that he can flirt with me?"What you can see her doing," I answered rudely and he seemed shocked by my answer. His expression immediately changed and smiled. "Well then, let me join you," he said as he pulled the chair next to mine closer. "Hello beautiful," I heard and I immediately recognized that voice. I turned and smiled at him innocently."Hello there. It seems that you dressed well tonight," I said with a grin."This is what happens when mom is around," he said with a smile."So does that make you a mommy's boy?" I asked teasingly and he chuckled."Yes,
Ace POV.Taking her hand, I led her to the dancing floor. From how she was behaving, I am sure she hates when people stare at her. She is so feisty but at the same time shy. When I suggested that we should give them a show so that they can watch us more. I didn't have any idea on what to do. I am just attracted to this lady. I want to fuck her so hard so that I can get her out of my system. I saw that her eyes were looking around and I wondered what's wrong."Why are you scanning the room?" I asked."I honestly don't know but I don't trust how the Scott's made sure everyone has their own escort," she said.Fantastic. At least I'm not the only one with that feeling."I know. I actually came with my car. My family are the ones who came with the escort," I said and she chuckled. "What?""Obviously there was no way I was going to do as I was told and what they were expecting," she said but I did not understand her. I know that she is stubborn and hates to be told what to do, but what does
Adrianna POV.I looked at Ivy with a questioning look. She looked worried and at the edge of crying. I wonder what she has been informed about."He is planning on selling the kids," she murmured."What do you mean kids?" Lorenzo asked."Emily, Adrianna," she said as she trembled."Emily," I whispered. "Fuck, tell me, do you recognize the others?" I asked hurriedly."Ire, can you scan the kids and tell me which orphanages they have been taken from," she said."Don't worry, we will save her," Victor assured her.I could feel the Spanish, Italian and Mexican tables on tables. They were confused."I will fucking kill him," she shouted."Most are from…..from…" She started crying more and I knew what she wanted to say. I closed my eyes to avoid tears."Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to coming to this annual Charity ball. Today things will be different," Mr. Scott said and soon the kids were left on the stage. We were all quiet."As you can see these kids are twelve and above. Th
Ace POV."Ace, you have to get that girl on our side," mom said."She is right. Befriend them. We need to make an alliance with them," dad said."Paul, you claim that you are a computer expert. Can you come up with such weapons?" Mark said while laughing."Shut up. I am still trying to process what I have just witnessed," he said, making us chuckle at his stupidity."Ace, how do you know the girl?" Lorenzo asked.The three of our mafia are allies so we help each other in times of need."Apparently, I met her beating one of my club's managers," I said."Then what happened? She is feisty so I am sure something happened when you walked in," James said."Of course, she threw daggers at us to distract us from catching her. She knew I was the Italian Mafia don immediately she saw me," I said."Obviously she knew since it seems to be part of a certain mafia," Lorenzo said."She is dangerous. They hacked into our systems," Paul said."What! If they manage to hack into your system and you are
Adrianna POV.Immediately I arrived home, I walked into my bathroom so that I could get the blood out of my body. I was so hungry and tired at the same time. I was not planning on staying long in the bathtub. Maybe I will find myself there again after I eat. After showering, I put on my pyjamas and walked out of my room. I don't know whether Ivy is asleep or not but if she was hungry, I'm sure will be in the kitchen. I walked downstairs and saw the lights were off, I switched them and looked around and she was nowhere to be seen. Today was quite a tiring day, we expected that the party wouldn't be fun and without drama but how wrong we were. At least I got to kill. Walking towards the kitchen, I opened the fridge and I was happy when I saw some food. It was so thoughtful of Maria to make sure that we had food. Maybe she knew that we may come home late and hungry. I decided to warm it so that it can be edible. I hate cold meals. I had footsteps as I was eating. Lucky her that I had wa
Adrianna POV.I was woken up by the sunrays which had found their way to my room. I wondered what time it was. Dragging myself out of bed, I went to the bathroom to do my daily routine. I really had a busy day ahead of me. It has been two weeks since the Charity ball. We had found where Sister Anne was admitted. Ivy and I took the responsibility of constructing the children's home. Yes, there were obstacles but we managed to fight them. Today, we will be completing the arrangements there so that they can move in. They have been living in Victor's building. He didn't have a choice because he knew that we still wouldn't listen to him.Walking into the closet, I took a black ragged jeans and a red crop sweater. I was going to meet the kids so it won't be wise for me to wear white. I then took black sneakers and a red handbag. After doing my makeup, I walked out of the room.I met Maria and Ivy in the kitchen."Goodmorning Adrianna," Maria greeted."Goodmorning sleepyhead," Ivy said with
