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
Adrianna POV.She started crying and I got mad."Can someone tell me who hurt her?" I asked the kids."I am sorry, Adrianna. But no, he will hurt him once more," Ken said and I looked at him."So no one is going to tell me?" I asked once more and they all kept quiet."You knew," I told Ivy and she looked down."Why didn't you tell me anything?" I asked her."I am sorry Ria but I can't," she said and I walked away."You know what, don't tell me. I can find that out on my own," I told her and walked away.I drove home, went directly to my room and took out my laptop. Even though Ivy is the one who had built Victor's building security system. I can easily hack them because I know her tactics. After hacking on the CCTV, I saw nothing unusual today. I played and noticed that some parts were removed. I decided to look at the actual footage. There I saw Emily being dragged into Victor's room by Max, later Max walked out. After some hours, she walked out crying and limping. I wondered what Vi
Adrianna POV.He looked shocked. It was as if he wasn't expecting it."I know you don't want to do this. I am the one who took care of you," he said."Yeah, I know that you are the one who brought me up but you made my sister's life miserable!" I told him."She isn't even your sister," he said."What did you just say? Would you mind repeating that?" I asked him and he looked afraid. I had stabbed both of his hands making sure that he couldn't get out of the chair.I walked towards him and he gulped in fear."You know, you are the one who tries me to be the monster I am. Instead of you stopping your evil doing something that you can't face my truth, you foolishly continued. What you thought that I would never know what you have been doing to her?" I asked her."I will surely kill that bitch when I get out of here," he said and I laughed at his stupidity."You think that you will get out of that stupid chair? Oops, I am sorry to inform you that you will be dead by the end of the day," I
Adrianna POV.I have been so busy since I killed Victor. Ivy has gotten over the pain she had gone through. I really blamed myself for not figuring it out. We have been trying to track down Elijah but he has gotten very good at hiding. I haven't been given any job to assassinate him but the fact that he is holding women hostage makes me want to kill him. I am an assassin therefore I have done some jobs for him but I have never killed the innocent. Before I kill someone, I always do a background check on them. Lily and Ivy have gotten pretty close but Ivy knows that she can't include her into our lifestyle. We employed her as our housekeep so that Maria can at least get some rest. They have been helping each other since she got well. While Lilly works in our house, Maria works in her other employer's house. I found out that Lily got cancer when she completed her senior highschool. Right now, she is working extra hard so that she can save money to join a college. Even though Ivy doesn'
Adrianna POV.It was a long drive and I knew better than to get bored on a long drive not only that but also the fact I was going on a so-called mission. I turned the music on so as to kill boredom.After a two hour drive, I arrived at the plot where they were located. I knew that I had to be careful not to alert anyone that I was in the area. I parked my car in the woods and far from where they were being held captive. I took my weapon back and started walking in the direction of the house. Shit!I forgot to wear my costume. I searched for it in the bag and luckily it was there. I hid behind a tree and wore it. After that, I proceeded on going where I was going. The house came into view and I used binoculars so that I could see how men were there. Twenty men outside and ten inside. I took my guns and daggers, tucking them on my costume. I then carried more with my hand. I left my hand somewhere no one would see it. On a tree top. I knew that I had no time, therefore, I ran towards t
Ace POV.Weeks have passed since the Charity ball. I have been tracking down Adrianna but that woman knows how to hide. I haven't even gotten gold from the information. I also don't know her surname. I am really impressed by her tactics. Dad, on the other hand, has been pushing me to the edge. He claims that he wants the girls on our side as soon as possible. I don't know why but there isn't much I can do other than to listen to them. Abigail and Mike moved from Mexico to here. Mike is planning on opening a restaurant so they will be here for a while, Mark on the other side, he lives here but the guy loves to travel so much. He doesn't care whether he has classes or not. If his head tells him to go to a certain country for a month, then he will go. I wonder how he manages to stay at the top. I guess that is the reason as to why mom and dad never mind what he is doing. He told them a long time ago that they should not expect him to inherit any family business, he wants to start from cr
Adrianna POV.My head was aching and my eyes were struggling to open. I tried to move my hands but unfortunately, they were tied to a chair. I was sitting in a dark room, I could barely see who or what was around me but I knew I wasn't alone. I could feel the presence of others and I could hear them breathing. I tried to free myself but it was useless. I wasn't tied in ropes. I had some sort of cable around my wrist as well as the arms of the chair. It was impossible for me to break free. The cable was probably made of steel and the chair was definitely not wooden."Why did you kidnap me?" I asked, hoping it was Ace."Maybe because I had promised that I would get to you?" He asked instead of answering."Cut the crap Vincenzo," I said angrily."It's done to you," he said and I rolled my eyes."I don't follow orders," I said."Are you willing to answer my questions?" He asked."Depends on what you will ask," I answered."What were you doing in the Russian mafia warehouse?" He asked."Oo
Ace POV.I took her to the basement when we arrived home. I had drugged her so that means that I have tomorrow hours before she wakes up. After tying her up, I walked back to the mansion. They were all shocked to see me. I guess they expected me not to be back very soon."What are you doing here?" Mom asked."Aren't you supposed to be on a mission?" Dad asked and I nodded my head."Yes, I am. We already went," I answered."But how fast?" Mark asked."When we got there, the hostages were nowhere to be seen," I said."Are you sure that you were given the right location?" Abigail asked."Yes, there were signs of hostages in the basement," I said."Then who informed them that you were going to rescue them?" Mom asked, seeming to be thinking. I knew for a fact that they think that we have a mole in our family."Adrianna is working for Elijah," I said after a few minutes of silence."What!" Abigail and Mark shouted."Son, are you sure about that?" Dad asked."I met her there. We know that w
Adrianna POV."Gosh, I am so sleepy," Ivy exclaimed while we were watching a movie to kill time."Then why don't you just go to bed?" I asked out of sympathy as I looked at her."Have you forgotten that we are waiting for feedback?" she asked as I roll my eyes."Who said that I did? You can decide to go to bed and you would be woken up by the ringtone while he calls," I said.After some minutes I turned back at her and said, "or, since you are a computer expert, why don't you hack into the Russians mafia premises and find out for yourself?" "You are definitely a genius. Why didn't I think of such a thing earlier?I would have avoided staying here for more than five hours while waiting," she said."Okay, let us go and see," I said as I stood up since I also wanted to see what happened."It seems that you are just a hypocrite. You were pretending that you aren't sleepy yet you are," she said."I have a lot of work to do but I can't do it till I know what happened. Whether he succeeded
Adrianna POV."Did you have to choose that car?" Ivy asked angrily making me raise my eyebrow unto her."Why can't you understand it? We told the guy to call after thirty minutes or did you want us to keep loitering around the shop till the time passes and we won't be able to talk to him later on," I said trying my best to keep calm."Oh, sorry I forget," she said in a low tone as a way to show that she was in wrong and was embarrassed making me roll my eyes."Can you text him and tell him to call immediately," I said as I walked towards the grey three-sitter couch."Alright," she said as she took out her phone."I hope that he passed the interview and will be able to always get inside,"she sat on the couch across me."Let us hope for the best," I said as I looked down to see what Jasmine was doing cause she was really disturbing me."Ma..ma," she called out as soon as she realised that I was looking at her.Raising my eyebrows to her as a clue to indicate that she should tell me what
Adrianna POV."Finally, we are going to the streets of America," Ivy said as we got out of the house."Girl, we don't even own a car here and you are already happy about such a petty thing," I said with a chuckle."I know but that don't matter. After all, since we are going for shopping, we will get a car from a car dealer," she said."Then I just hope you have carried your fake id. We don't want to mess anything just because f a shopping which could be done online," I said seriously making her roll her eyes."Do you have to always to a joy killer? Anyways, as for your information, yes, I carried them together with the fake bank cards," she said as she waved her bag in front of me making Jassy grab it making me smile. "Dude, can you let go of your aunty's bag."Jassy looked at her innocently as she hugged it tightly and hidden it in my chest."Who the hell did this kid take after for real?" she asked as she shook her head."Come on, if both of you are going to start your little tantru
Third POV."Dad, why did you send someone to call me here?" a young man asked as he walked in."How is everything at the organisation?" the old man seated behind the desk asked."Everything is fine," he said after a few minutes of silence."Why were you silent? Don't tell me that you are thinking about going against me just the way your uncle did. You better do what I ask for you. We both know that you aren't my only child so I can decide anyone to take the position from me when I am ready to retire," he warned."But dad, haven't I always done what you ask of me? Now you are telling me that you are changing your decision about me been the leader?" The young man asked loudly. Anger evident in his tone."Don't you dare raise your voice at me, young man. You better remember who you are talking to! I am your father!" Elijah snapped."Don't give me that bullshit. You are just a greedy old man who only wants a big piece of a pie that he can get his hands own. May I should remind you that it
Adrianna Pov."There is no need for you to be confused. What we need to do is figure out what we have to do," I said. I looked up and saw that Jasmine was already fast asleep. She tends to sleep when she is bored or has no one to play and talk to."But do you think it is safe?" she asked and I gave a a question mark expression since I couldn't figure out such a silly question.""Don't give me that look. What I mean is that, do you think it is safe for us to deal with them alone? Maybe we could ask your baby daddy's help," she said and I glared at her."I don't need his help," I said firmly."I know that you don't want but look at the positive side girl. Ace has connection with the Spanish and Mexican mafia help it would at least safe since we are all alone since for now we can't trust the people from the organisation," she said making me shake my head in disagreement."Have you forgotten who we are and why each mafia is fighting to get in our good side and back back?" I asked."Its no
Adrianna POV."I think you were right," I told her before feeding Jasmine and taking a bite of my pancake."What do you mean I was right? Why can't you just go direct to the point instead of beating around the bush?" she asked angrily."My dear sister, why can you see a bush in our house?" I asked as I chuckled making her groan."Adrianna!" she yelled making me glare at her as I closed my child's ears cause who knows when she will be turned to a deaf cause of Ivy's daily shoutings."Can you stop shouting for goodness sake?" I asked as I took a breathe."Sorry. Can you know tell me what do you mean by your sentence?" she asked more softly this time as she looked at Jasmine to see whether she is been affected with how she is talking."On that day, Max was not at the organisation headquarters," I said as I looked at my food."What? Now how are we going to find out who the mole is?" she asked in a low tone as if she is in low spirits."Idiot. You know, sometimes I find you clever others s
Adrianna POV.I was waken up by the cries of the baby. Who told me to sleep with her in the first place? Immediately I looked at her, she kept quiet and smiled at me. That little cute smile was enough for me to forget that I was mad at her in the first place. I picked her up and looked whether she had peed on herself. After changing her up, I carried her to the bathroom so that I can clean her up first since it would be a waste of time if I showered then cleaned her. It would force me to back and have a bath."You woke up so early," I said after checking out what was the time. Maybe the fact that she had slept for some many hours made her wake up early. She giggled as she played with my hair."Don't splash water on mama again. If you do, I will end up beating you," I warned her and she sided her eyes. I smiled cause I knew she had understood my words. After making sure that the water temperature was good enough for her, I added her body wash before getting rid of the clothes she was
Adrianna POV.Ivy and I stepped out of the chopper,looking up at the grand mansion that was to be their new home. They had escaped the chaos and danger of their old life, and were now embarking on a new chapter while hoping they won't be discovered where they were hiding. The mansion was the perfect place to hide and start anew. It was isolated, with acres of land surrounding it, and had everything they would ever need. Nonetheless, they didn't know who the American's mafia leader was and their house was not even close to theirs. They knew that they were safe for a while and the place was good for them to bring up Jassy."Wow, it's beautiful," she said, as she looked up at the mansion in awe."It's better than I imagined," I replied, feeling a sense of excitement and relief at the same time.We had arranged the purchase of the mansion months before, and now we were finally here. It was a huge, four-story building with almost twenty bedrooms, five living rooms, an indoor pool, a gym, a
Ace POV.My phone started ringing and I picked it up."Hello, who am I talking to?" I asked "You don't have to know my name. I am just calling you to tell you about Adrianna's whereabouts," the other person said."Fine, tell me, where is she?" I asked " Wait, what do you want in return after telling me that?"He laughed but didn't answer my question. After getting the information about where they were, even if I didn't know whether it was the truth, I opted to go and try my luck. I called my best team and family so that I can inform them since I knew that they also wanted you to find her as soon as possible. Even for my men, most love her since she saved Ivan. They claim that if they got such a donna, they won't have to worry about their families. I really don't know the meaning of that but I am just happy and proud that she's loved by everyone and they are welcoming towards her."Ace, why did you call us all here?" Dad asked."Dad, I received a call from someone who claims to know a
