Anaya I kept dialing the number again, but it was unsuccessful. I screamed and tossed my phone to the ground. We dashed to the Jeep to find Nicolas. Ad, Cia, and one of the commanders named Frank were all armed to the teeth, with firearms strapped to every inch of their bodies. Ad taped the conversation between Scar and me so that we could listen for any hints. Frank played it, and he understood the gravity of the situation and ordered the guys to prepare. I was a disaster. That phone call terrified me because I knew what would happen if we didn’t get to Nicolas quick enough. We need to get there immediately. I followed Cia as she attempted to climb into the vehicle. “Anaya, you must stay here. You have never been to an attack,” Cia said. Cia was in full badass mode, with bombs hidden in her jacket. She herself was a walking bomb. “Nicolas is in danger, and I will not stand by and do nothing. Besides, I can stay in the car. Please, just take me with you. Please,” I pleaded. My face
Nicolas A stinging pain shot through my back, making me wince. The fuck is that? I slowly peel my eyes open and adjust to the darkness of the room. Moonlight shining through the window above was the only source of light. Where was I? I made an attempt to stand, but something stopped me. What is stopping me? When I looked down, I saw myself kneeling with my legs restrained. “What the fuck!” I hissed. My throat felt as if it were being dragged over sandpaper. My hands felt numb. I noticed my hands were tethered to the wall when I looked up. When I attempted to move the cuffs, they dug deeper into my wrists. I was completely naked from the waist up. My entire body was in pain. This situation feels oddly familiar. Everything came flooding back to me. The meeting, the attack, and Scar. That filthy bastard kidnapped me. He killed my men, and he kidnapped me. Shit! Ben was with me at the meeting. He murdered Ben. No! No! No! “Where the fuck are you, asshole?” I yelled. I heard footsteps
Anaya “I will lead,” I declared, taking everyone by surprise. A deafening silence pervaded the air. Though I understand their surprise, I have a plan. We need a plan that will take us right to Nicolas, and I have to be in control of that. The first one to break the silence was Cantoli. “Excuse me?” he asked. He sure had a creepy look about him. “You want to be the boss of the Ricci Mafia?” He stood up and raised his hands in frustration. I wanted to break his nose because of the way he asked the question. Condescending jerk! “You have a problem with that?” He scoffed. Did he just show me attitude? “This is the Mafia, not a Barbie house for you to play with, Mrs. Ricci. Many men and women depend on us. We have businesses and dealings to carry out. That is too much for a woman to handle.” Okay. He only dared me to prove him wrong. “You did not just say that, Cantoli?” Adrian growled. “Our boss is kidnapped, and you are trying to undermine the person who is most motivated to get him
Nicolas "Sir, I am trying, but it is slippery," I cried as my father pressed the knife against my back, making me open locks with tied hands. Fuck! "Idiots like you are no good!" he shouted. "This is how you will become Capo? You cannot even pick a lock." I finally opened the lock after fumbling with it for quite some time and saw rotting bodies inside. I was on the verge of throwing up, but I restrained myself because I knew Carlos would beat me if I did. Hopefully, I'll be able to get back to my sister after this. She was being a fussy baby when I left with Carlos two days ago. However, things turned awry when Carlos ordered us to attack somewhere and kill a bunch of people while he dawdled. I hate him! "Mr. Ricci," a voice made me grunt as I opened my eyes and was brought back to reality. It was the same man who had been treating my wounds for two days. Not sure what it is that he is doing as the blood has stopped trickling, but it hurts like hell. However, I have had worse day
Anaya “Anaya, I got a call.” "Cia?" I asked. "What call? And which number are you calling from?" "Hm... not important. I just got a call from Scar," she said. I could tell she was in tears. "I heard his voice. I could hear Nicolas' voice." My heart stopped. "What did he say? Where are you?" I questioned. I dashed out of the office as soon as she told me she was with Ad in the common office. They were waiting for me outside the office. Cia rushed over to me and sobbed on my chest, "Anaya!" "Please tell me he is okay!" I said this while staring at both of them. "I believe you should hear the recording," Ad suggested as we entered the office. As soon as Ad played the audio, I wanted to cry my heart out. Nicolas was in pain, yet he was concerned about my well-being. How can he expect me to be okay when he isn't here? "We tried to track the call but were unsuccessful," he said. I rested my elbows on the table and cupped my hands around my head. His voice echoed in my head. He was t
Nicolas "You motherfucking bastard," I growled. I tried to remove my restraints, but they dig into my skin. Cantoli flinched a bit, which made me smirk. My body ache turned to anger as I saw the double-timing jerk standing before me. I wanted to rip him limb from limb. And I will as soon as I am free of this place. Scar smirked, "Please, you are angry, as if he broke your heart! Did he?" He asked, putting his hands in his pockets. I clenched my teeth, trying to calm myself down since I didn't want them to enjoy my rage and shock any more than they already had. I continued, "You are the next body. I will drop after him the moment I am free," looking directly into Cantoli's eyes. I jerked my head, signaling that Scar would be the first victim of my vengeance once I was free. "Oh, please, you're not going to get away," Cantoli said. "Not after your wife took over. That bitch is useless and she will take us all down. So before that happened, I jumped ship." "You jumped ships long befo
Anaya “How is this possible?” I asked as I observed the outcome in front of me. I turned to look to my right, where Ad was already looking perplexed. “Are you sure about this?” he asked the man who showed us the results. “Yes, boss. I have checked it several times, but I am getting the same result,” he answered. We were looking at a DNA sample that we had taken on Harmony. This sample did not match anyone in the database, but when it was tested for a relative, it was found to be related to Carlos, Nicolas’s father’s DNA. As Nicolas was never in the system, we could not match him. We were not even sure if the DNA was from Scar. All of this is making my mind spin. I questioned, “What does this mean?” He cleared his throat and said, “See here? If the biological father is to be recognized as the father, he must have matched results for each of the 20 genetic markers tested. And in this case, almost all the markers have matched, indicating that the individual is Carlos Ricci’s child.”
Nicolas I patiently waited, making a conscious effort to control my anger and frustration. My lips trembled as I strained to stand. And THUD. I fell down just like that. I grunted as I tried to move my legs again. After being tied down for days, my legs felt like jello when I tried to stand up. My entire body—not just my legs—protested in excruciating pain. I kept falling until I could steady myself by holding the wall. I stumbled to the door and fumbled with the lock as my feet wobbled down to it. When I could finally hear the door click open, I felt relief after days. It was the first step toward getting back home. To Anaya. I have never seen any guards near my door and the door's clicking sound did not alert anyone, meaning there was no one behind it. I hoped the door wouldn't squeak as I opened it, and I hid behind it so that if anyone who was outside might check inside if I was there. However, nothing happened for a few minutes, so I peered my head out the door. I have to be ex

6 years later... Nicolas I brushed my fingertips over the name ‘Emma Ricci’ on the tombstone. The words ‘an amazing mother and human’ were written in capital letters below it. My mother. Even after all these years, I still miss her with all my heart. I whispered, “Maa, I miss you,” and laid the flowers Anaya had picked this morning from the garden on the grave. I am sure that my mother is resting with angels. I looked to my right and saw three more headstones. While searching for Scar, I learned more about my other half-siblings that he had killed. I never managed to locate their remains, but I was able to establish some momentum in their memory. I may never meet them, but I pray they find peace in the hereafter. I smiled and walked back to the house. The wonderful aroma of coffee drew me to the kitchen, where my beautiful wife was brewing coffee. I smiled and hugged her from behind. “Hi, kitten,” I whispered in her ear and kissed her neck. My hands stroked her stomach. She shutt
Anaya I was floating in complete darkness. My body felt as though it was fastened to a harness. I tried to get down, but I could not. I held my hand out to touch something, but it was just a whole lot of nothing. I was about to give up when I overheard a toddler babbling in the distance. I turned to glance around when I saw a kid crawling away from me. He moved away on all fours while wriggling his adorable bum, so I was unable to see his face. It felt like the child was calling out to me as the he kept babble-babbling in his child’s language. I pushed myself to follow the child. And soon I was swimming towards him. “Hold on, little one. Where is your mama?” I questioned, but the child picked up his pace. I huffed, “Stop running, baby. We need to get you back to your mama. She might be worried!” The infant babbled again, and soon I heard him laugh. I could not help but smile at the sweet laughter of a child. I must admit that seeing him laugh made me happy. As though my maternal
Nicolas “Noooo....” As soon as I noticed Anaya tumbling to the ground, I yelled. Everything was moving in slow motion for me. She had pushed me aside, taking a bullet that was meant for me. I turned to face the culprit. The blood that was pouring out of his mouth did not hide the smirk plastered on his face. He was holding a gun and pointing at her. I yelled in anger and snatched the gun out of his hand and he looked me in the eye. “You are no human. See you in hell, Scar,” I said and shot him in the middle of his forehead. His blood splattered on the floor as the bullet tore through his head. I shot him repeatedly until I felt someone grab my collar. I spun around to see a distraught Cia pleading with me to look at Anaya. I turned around and spotted Cia, Ben, and Adrian with several of my men. I’m not even sure when they walked into the room. I looked at my wife, who was bleeding on the floor and struggling to keep her eyes open, as I recovered from my vengeful daze. Her eyes were
Nicolas I grumbled and drew Anaya closer to me. Even though I was awake, I didn’t want to leave the warmth of my wife’s body. She exhaled and snuggled deeper into my chest. I opened my eyes and her naked body pressed against mine stirred my friend down south. I wanted to wake her up and have my way with her again. She must, however, be worn out from the previous night. We had been at it like rabbits. We didn’t get to sleep until the early hours of the morning, fucking until we were out of energy. Nonetheless, my body yearned for her. I don’t think I will ever be tired or fulfilled by the number of times I have her. She is my drug, and I am addicted. She had been apprehensive ever since she first met OBGYN Dr. Nile three months ago. Though he has assured her at all appointments that everything is fine, she is still doubting herself. The grief in her eyes when she sees a negative pregnancy test crushes my heart. I haven’t let her take another test for three weeks now and we are wingin
Anaya Lee’s battered body lay on the ground. His mangled body was covered in blood from head to toe. Due to the loss of blood, his skin turned pale. His clothes were ripped, and his eyes were hollow. He didn't look like the man I'd seen a few months earlier, with the Armani suit, exquisite jewelry, wide smile, and expensive watches. However, he deserves it after what he had done. He is at the topmost level of the dungeon and is used as a punching bag by all of us. Some of Marcus’s men decided to take the easy way out and kill themselves with cyanide pills while those who had been left were here in the dungeons. The evil ones have been vented, and all have been tortured. The majority of his men were killed. We didn’t have any other options. A few, such as the doctor and his brother who assisted Nicolas, are helped by him to live an honest life. “What? I unloaded my frustration on him since you wouldn't allow me to go on my trips.” Cia said nonchalantly. Nicolas sighed and rubbed his
Nicolas As I sat in my chair, I noticed that all of my commanders were listing intendly. The previous two months had been extremely hectic. I’ve begun to focus again on my work since the plasters have been removed and my body has fully recovered. We have managed to bounce back higher due to my and Anaya’s efforts. Yes, I have officially asked her to be the boss of the gang. She has declined for the time being. She wants to learn how to operate the business correctly, and she has been a tremendous student. I find it fascinating how she comes up with innovative solutions. I turned to gaze to my right where my new commander, Anaya Ricci, was presenting the information she had for our proposed warehouse to everyone. She had taken care of the repairs and security updates to the warehouse with the help of Adrain. “Nicolas, your lost in your thoughts,” she said quietly as she ended her presentation and the room applauded. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at her. “I’m sorry. What w
Anaya I felt a tingle on the underside of my thigh. I squirmed when I felt a delicate caress near my hip. Is this a dream? Since Nicolas started teasing me with his touches and dirty words way too frequently last week, I have been exceedingly jittery and aroused. I heard Nicolas say, “I know you’re awake, kitten. Open your eyes.” when I felt hot breath near my ear. Of course, it’s him that gets me wet first thing in the morning! I thought of teasing him, returning the favor, but I jerked awake when I felt a slap on my pussy. “What the...” I lagged. I saw my handsome husband lying on top of me, freshly showered, wearing a red t-shirt and blue jeans. He smirked, “Good morning, wife. It’s always lovely to see your beautiful eyes and naked body in the morning.” I flushed as I realized I was under him, absolutely naked. He purposely made me play strip poker last night, knowing well I am terrible at cards and that’s how I ended up naked while he was fully clothed. Now that Nicolas’s ba
Nicolas I saw my beautiful wife curled up beside me. Two weeks have passed since I was released from the hospital. I was strictly ordered to stay in bed, and some of my minor bandages had been taken off. I pushed my body to move even though it was still difficult. I'm not going to be chained to a bed. I chuckled, as I remembered how mad Anaya and Cia got when I tried to stand up and fell down on the ground. Since Marcus managed to escape the helicopter when it crashed into the water, everyone has been under pressure. He was actually concealing a knife in his boot, which he used to cut through his binds discreetly. While Noah was holding him, he stabbed the knife into Noah's thigh. We were relieved Noah was safe, since we didn't need a battle with the American Mafia right now. The five men aboard the helicopter that was transporting Marcus got into a fight with him. Someone inadvertently discharged gun, shooting the pilot and causing the plane to crash. We lost Marcos, Anaya's bodygu
