Ace POV.
There was silence in the car but not an awkward silence. I knew for a fact that they wanted to find out who she was. She was one of the fierce ones. If it was any other person they would have been afraid and not ran away. They are so angry because no one has ever and should never raise their hands to harm me but she only was afraid to show that she knew who I am and defied me but shot at me. Even though she did not mean to hurt any of us, she used her gun to distract her. She is not a bitch. I have to find who she is and where she was working in my club knowing well that it was part of my business. She may be another mafia's spy.I added on some music to ease the tension and I saw that they had relaxed a little bit. She is the first person who has succeeded to run away. Maybe Bob and Paul think that I am furious but the truth is that I am shocked and surprised. I would definitely love to see her once more so that we bicker once again. The thought made me chuckle , making them snap their heads in my direction.
"What are both of you looking at?" I asked them, pretending to be angry.
"Wait,"
"You are not angry?"
"Even after what has happened?" They asked one after the other.
These two know me so much. I can't really pretend and seem not to know. Even though I try hard not to be a book to them, I am still unable. They had been with me through my childhood, dad trained us together so they know a lot about me than they shouldn't.
"Who said that I am not?" I asked them.
"Man, you are so relaxed," Bob said.
"You even chuckled," Paul said.
"Please tell me that you aren't imagining what to do with her when we find her," Bob said.
"Honestly, I didn't even imagine that," I said.
"Now I'm curious, what would you do?" Paul asked.
"I am so sure that he would torture her more sexually that using tools," Bob said and I glanced at him.
"Don't look at him like that. What he is saying is so true. I would have also done the same thing. Get her to bed b4 taking her to the basement," Paul said, making us chuckle. "What? Did you not see her?"
"I know man. She truly is a goddess," Bob said.
"You know when I pulled her away from the stupid manager, her ass landed on my dick. Damn she has a fine ass," Paul said, making me glare at them.
"Chill dude. No need for you to glare at us when we haven't even found her yet," Bob said.
"And furthermore, we already know that she is all yours from how you looked at her," Paul said.
At least they knew where they stood.
We arrived at home and we walked directly towards my office. I really need to find her soon enough. If I were to be honest, I can fuck out the answers I need from her!
I sat in my chair while Paul took his laptop and sat on the couch. He is very good at hacking but since the lady had hacked into our systems that means that there is someone better than him. That makes me wonder whether she is the only one who has hacked into our database. I don't want to have a negative thought but honestly I cannot prevent it. I hate the fact that my mafia seems to be in danger all of a sudden and that means more work for us. Paul will be forced to create a new security to our databases just for precautions. I don't want to think that she is an enemy because I really want to touch, kiss and see her naked on my bed. I know after fucking her, I will loose all the interest I have on her.
My sister always claims that men are the worst of mankind because they only think of how to get a woman to their bed but some things can't be prevented. We have needs and they need to be taken care of.
It took Paul some hours but when he was done, he seemed relieved. That tells me that he has found her location but despite knowing that, I decided to ask him.
"Any news for me?" I asked.
"I have created another firewall for our database," he said, making us nod since I was expecting him to do that!
"You just made us keep you company while creating that thing?" Bob asked and Paul grinned at him.
"Yes, this was the only opportunity I would have gotten since if I had decided on doing that later and I asked you to keep company, you would have refused to," he said.
"You always take so long man. At least I understand as to why it has been a couple of hours since we got in here," Bob said.
I decided to stop their little bickering cause if I didn't, they won't stop anytime soon. "Have you found her location?" I asked.
"Yes, I did," he said.
"Then let us go," I told them and from their expression, they were surprised.
"Like right now? At this time of the night?" Bob asked.
"Do you have any problem with that?" I asked them and they shook their heads immediately, making me chuckle. "Come on, the earlier we deal with her the better."
"He got a point there man. At least after we find which mafia is working with and how she knew Ace's true identity, we would get rest," Paul said.
"Let us get going if we don't want to waste more time," Bob said while standing up. We followed his gesture and got out of the house.
We drove to her apartment. We were followed by some guards. Even though we would have gone on our own, the way she faced the three of us made us carry more men for precautionary purposes.
It was an hour drive till we arrived. The neighbourhood was so quiet and peaceful. We walked to her apartment and knocked. An elderly woman opened the door for us.
"What do you want at this kind of time?" She asked.
"We are searching for someone and we believe that she lives in this house," I answered.
"I am sorry but I don't know what you are talking about. I live here all by myself," she said, making me sigh.
"Look, I don't want to do this the hard way, where is Alex?" I asked.
"I don't know anyone by that name," she said.
"I am sorry but I will have to search your house," I told her.
"Who are you and where should I let you in my house?" She asked.
"I am just searching for her. She ran away and when we searched for her location, we found that it was this apartment. So get out of my way and already tired of your talkings," I snapped and she jumped with terror.
She opened the door wide and let us in. We searched everywhere in the house but there was no one. There were not even any things which belonged to a young lady.
"We will take our leave," I told her. As much as I wanted to apologise, my ego could really not let me.
We got in the car and drove away. I was really frustrated. Who is she? And where is she?
"Don, I am really sorry," Paul said, making me to sigh
I really can't blame Paul cause it was really his fault. I am sure the woman's details were fake and I won't be shocked if Alex wasn't even her real name.
"It is not your fault, you don't need to blame yourself that we did not catch her. I am sure she hid her information," I told him.
When we got home, I walked to the office. I thought that Paul and Bob were going to their room but I was shocked when I saw that they had followed me to my office.
Paul went directly and took his laptop.
"I think both of you should go and rest," I told them.
I did not receive any answer from them which made me sigh.
"Look, I know you are also worried just as I am but we can continue with the search tomorrow. Maybe we will be successful. Right now, we are all tired and we need rest," I told them and I heard them sigh.
"Give me some minutes then I will be off to sleep," Paul said.
"Me too," Bob said, making me raise an eyebrow unto him.
"Okay. Finish whatever you are doing then we will go to sleep and I will not listen to any of you afterwards," I told them and they nodded their heads.
Paul was so serious with what he was doing.
"I have hacked the club CCTV footage and scanned her photo. There is nothing much about her. Her name is Adrianna, she works at your club. Has no family," Paul broke the silence after half an hour.
"Woo. Have you found where she lives?" I asked.
"That is what I am working on," he said and we nodded our heads at him even though he could not see us since his eyes were glued to the screen.
"Shit!!" He exclaimed and threw the laptop, making it collide with the wall.
"What happened?" Bob asked.
"Everything was going on so well then the laptop started hanging. I bet she discovered someone was trying to search for her information. She was trying to get into my system. I had to retrieve before she discovered who was looking for her. I tried again but all her information disappeared," he explained.
"What!" Both Bob and I said unisonly.
"She is really good at it. Honestly, I am shocked. There is someone there better than I and very competitive," he said.
"Don't worry I will find him eventually even if it will take time," I told him cause I knew that he was shocked and furious at the same time. "Let us go to sleep, we will continue tomorrow."
They nodded and left the room after telling me goodnight.
Who are you Adrianna?
Adrianna POV.Waking up, I glanced at the alarm at my nightstand. I discovered that it was already six in the morning, so I went out to jog. I needed the cold and fresh air. Furthermore, it was so peaceful since many were not awake and the sun was already shining brightly. Wearing some pants and some cool music was all I needed so that I could go. I jogged around the neighbourhood for more than one and a half hours. I decided to head back home and see whether I could find something entertaining.As I continued to jog, I bumped into someone. I heard my favourite song start singing."Watch where you are going," I heard a voice and that is when I snapped my head to the direction of the voice. I stared at the man in front of me in awe. He was certainly the most beautiful and handsome man I have ever seen.Surprisingly, the man was staring back at me. Yeah, I know that I am hot but at least try not to make it obvious. my subconscious said."Don't you know how to apologise?" The man asked,
Adrianna POV.At least I was able to do what I haven't done in a while. Just don't call me psycho cause I am not. My clothes are fully covered by blood but I am not disgusted by seeing it cause I am already used to it. I got into my car and started driving to go back home. Ivy and I haven't been in the training centre and I know that we need to go there before Victor starts sending goons to pick them up. He took care of us as his children and when we stay for days without visiting the centre, he gets worried. I know that is stupid since we are grown ups and can take care of ourselves. But that does not make him stop with him being overprotective. He claims that since we are part of the underworld, many people would be after us but considering the fact that no one knows how the Poison looks makes his fear to ease a little bit. He is all we got. Even though he could not provide us with the best life in childhood, he did his best. Taking us to the parks, beaches and holidays in other co
Ace POV.Waking up has never been tiring as it is today. Maybe the fact that I have to wake up so early and I sleep late has something to do with it. I dragged myself out of bed and went to the bathroom. I stood in front of the mirror and looked at the bags below my eyes. I will surely get questions because of them. I took the toothbrush and started brushing my teeth. Afterwards I walked to the shower to take a bath. It took me just a few minutes to finish. I wore a black jeans and a white tee-shirt. Even though I am a businessman, I am really not used to wearing suits all the time. I wear them when I have a meeting or there is a party.I sprayed my outfit then walked out of the room with my phone in my hand. I walked downstairs and heard noises coming from the dining room."Where is uncle?" I heard Ivan's voice.That is my nephew. I did not know that they were coming."I don't know. Maybe he is still sleeping," Bob said."What! Ace sleeping at this time?" My brother, Mark asked."W
Adrianna POV.It was an hour drive. Throughout the drive, Ivy listened to her favourite songs. I didn't get a chance to even change considering that this is my car but I am already used to her behaviours. We got out of the car and gave the guard the keys so that he could park the car. We walked in the building. It looked like a company's building considering that it consists of a penthouse, gyms and offices. We have our own penthouse in the building. It is just that we don't like living here. It is too dangerous since most of our enemies know that this is the headquarters."Morning little bosses," the guards greeted us."Morning," we both said with a cold voice.We went directly to Victor's office."Daddy," Ivy said as she rushed to him to give him a hug."Hae there kiddo," he greeted her as he hugged her. I walked to the couch and sat there."Adrianna?" He asked instead of a sentence. I know he wanted me to be like Ivy but I couldn't."Hae there papa," I said and he let out a sigh bu
Adrianna POV.Tomorrow is the day which the charity ball is held. Ivy has been climbing nonstop and I regret agreeing with Victor what he did. I just want my innocent little sister with me. Victor on the other hand, has been trying to contact me but I have been avoiding him. I can't let whatever happened on that day repeat itself. It makes me feel like the worst daughter even though I am not. There are fifty percent chances that Vincenzo will be there and I am also very aware that they are still looking for me. It was fun messing with them but the fact still remains that one can never mess with a mafia leader and continues to leave. I am actually lucky that I am. Today, I really have a busy day ahead of me therefore I better get out of bed before it is too late.I dragged myself from the bed towards my washroom. After taking a bath and brushing my teeth, I walked to my closet to choose today's outfit. Before I got a chance to walk in, my bedroom door was opened and I looked in the d
Adrianna POV.The ball will be starting at 8 in the evening. This does not give us any reasons to justify our laziness but we have to use it. Both Ivy and I have not left the bed. I called our housekeeper early today so that she can come and make food for us as she cleans the house. I don't know what Ivy is doing in her room since I haven't left mine but hope is something productive. She is never into either movies or novels. I have been staring at the tv for three hours now. I feel like I'm just a lazy being. After two hours, my stomach groaned and I knew that I needed to get up and get food. I haven't eaten anything since yesterday at the restaurant. The reason why I didn't eat? I was not hungry! Yeah, that's the best answer I can come up with right now.I pulled my shit together and managed to get from the bed. I first walked to the washroom and I looked at myself in the mirror. I was just a mess, the hair was everywhere on my face and my eyes made me look like a zombie. I decided
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."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
