Nico's POV

"What are you doing here?" She hasn't inquired, stepping back from me like she has seen a ghost.

I hate that she's looking at me like that, but at the moment, I don't see anything I can do to change the perspective that she has of me.

"Don't you know that I can sue you for trespassing?" She continues.

I suppose it's a bit of a shock, seeing me suddenly appearing in a house like that.

"I doubt you will," I say, folding my hands across my chest.

"What do you want from me? Stay away. Haven't I already made myself clear?" She says in frustration.

"But, you are the one who called me."

"I did no such thing to you," she snaps, glaring at me.

I frown a little, and it occurs to me that she doesn't know anything about the call. My lips carve into a smirk.

Well, I already guessed that that would be the case, but I didn't exactly expect it to be so.

"Well, he did," I say, nodding in Michael's direction. The little kid is already fast asleep.

    Jasmine's POVI stare at him for a second or two. I know what he's thinking, and I also know that if I tell him now that I want him to stay, he's sure going to stay. But I would hate to see the look of satisfaction on his face, because it's kind of rubbing me of my superiority."It's early late," I say instead, trying to change the topic. "Well, Nicholas is an eyebrow. I've walked him the night before. This is no new thing for me.""You can stay. I have a spare room," I continue to argue with him."You know, Jasmine," he says, going back to where I am, and I can already feel my heart hammering in my chest. "If you want me to stay, then you can simply say it. I'm sure there's no harm in that, right?"He says it's work for me that I cannot have to sleep. There it is again, the infuriating little smile that forces me to come to terms with the way I act currently.I am really tempted to say that it's no big deal to tell him to go if he wants to act how he says for everyone. Even though we

    Jasmine's POVHis touch sends electricity shooting through my veins, and for a moment, I freeze.His eyes dance with mischief as he sits up. In one swift motion, Nico tugs on my wrist, and I let out a faint gasp as I fall down on his lap, my body landing on top of his.My heart pounds wildly as I feel the hardness of his chest beneath me, his warmth seeping into my skin.I want to pull away, but at the same time, I don’t.The heat radiating between us intensifies the desire that’s been simmering just below the surface, threatening to boil over.My breath catches in my throat as he slowly pulls me closer, wrapping a hand around my waist possessively. I tense up, feeling my heart hammering inside my chest.Even that is making such a ruckus that I’m pretty sure Nico himself can hear the way my heart is pounding in my chest. After all, he is already this close to me, and there is barely any space between us at all.“Now, what were you saying?” Nico hums lazily, his eyes darkening with a h

    Nico POVThe bright light of the sun shines down on my face from the open window, and I blink awake. I suddenly sit up and look around the room. It's very unfamiliar.I know that there's no one but the Martian, and then suddenly all the events of last night blow into my memory. I look around and feel my face flush with light embarrassment.Looking, feeling across the bed, I realize that I'm the only one in the room. Somehow, the events that happened in the living room ended up in the bedroom. Honestly, that leaves very little to the imagination.I force myself upright and step out of the bed, putting on my shoes as I go. I know that I have to head back now. Just as I'm about to go, looking at the table that's at the corner of the room, I catch a white note between two books.Genuinely curious, I step closer to it, and slip this paper out. It's a note, even though I've not seen her write before. I'm quite certain that it's from Jasmine too.However, after reading the content of the not

    Nico's POVI ignore anything that Diego has to say and sit to focus on what's at the back of my mind. Then, taking a deep breath, I saw her on her head, walking through the large passageway of the mansion as my luck would have it.I see Camilla standing at the foot of the stairs and got down out of the room as she was in the room waiting for me. Just as I put myself to work, I come closer.Her hair jerks in my direction, her snow-blonde hair falling against her shoulders. She looks at me; she doesn't even crack a smile. I walk towards her, knowing that my fate is already sealed. The tension between us is unspoken—a long-awaited situation that we simply couldn't keep on putting aside."Good morning," she says coldly. I doubt she even means to greet me in the first place."If you have something to say, just get down to it," I reply, matching her coldness. I'm used to that, matching other people's energy. Although at the moment, I can't tell if this is the best decision or not.I know ho

    Kamila's POV: The BastardI clench my fists in anger as I stare at his back while he departs with one of his henchmen at his side. I seem to remember his name - Fabio, wasn't it? Peter's next in command. Well, I don't care. I don't care about him doing anything.All I care about now is the fact that there is some bitch somewhere halfway across the world who is trying to steal my position. I clench my fists harder, my nails digging into my skin, turning my knuckles white. I'm shaking with pure anger.Diego steps in at that moment, and I try to mask my expressions, forcing them back to the poker face that everyone knows me for, but he already sees through it and walks towards me. His eyes show the same worry as my brother's."You said you had him under control!" I yell at him immediately as he gets close enough to me. "You said that everything would be fine!" I say, unable to help the betrayal that is etched deep in my voice.Diego seems unaffected by it, however, and shoves his hands

    Camila's POVI settle down behind the desk and take the files in my hand. After a while of sitting quietly and thinking, the plan forms in my head.Since Diego has already assured me that he was going to take care of Nico afterwards, I don't think much about him, but then there's a little chance that he's down in my way.Actually, I don't really want anything from Nico. All I want is the peace and the happily married life that we were living before a certain someone came in our way. And that's exactly the person that I need to get rid of, and very fast.Just sitting down there in silence, I already feel a myriad of ideas popping into my mind on how to make her disappear. But all of them seem wrong. There was something that was missing.I need to break her, crush her bones so that she will never even dream of getting five feet near Nico again. Do I need something that's going to make her lose her trust in him?I cross my leg on the table and tap my shin deep in thought. Well, it's taki

    Nichole's Point of ViewCalm and collected, both that they all secretly love. I know that enough is expected from me from here, and I can't afford to let my emotions come into play.So instead, I squirm my expression and walk across the room, looking at all of them in turn before finally sitting on top of the table.The penthouse is wide at first, able to easily accommodate all of us, like about 12 of the men along with three full amounts of arms and ammunition that are in the room.Almost every guy is leisurely toying with a gun and no one finds his way, not at all. It's like second nature to us, being the most dangerous bad person you've ever heard of.It's almost as if most of these men have lost every last bit of humanity that was in them. Now they live to fight, they live for bloodshed, and for some reason, that's the way it's supposed to be.But somehow I wonder, just the way that I was changed, maybe these men don't have a future after all, maybe they could find love.

    Jasmine's POVSomehow I regretted more every step of the way. That morning when I woke up, I was still tangled in Nico's arms.I hurriedly untangled myself from him and got off of the bed. Very quiet, not to disturb him.And then, as quickly as I could, I fled the room, closing the door behind me. I leaned against the wall.I heard my breath coming out in a horrid burst. "Finally," I managed to tell myself. Why was I having such a panic attack at this time? I think to myself.But then, Diego's warnings are clear in my head. His threats. I know that he's going to come for me after this.He made it very clear that he doesn't want to see me with Nico anymore. And I'll just let it happen.I know just how dangerous Diego is. I know that he probably has spies around my house as I think. And I know for certain that I'm going to get into huge trouble for this.Taking a deep breath, I decide to get through with it on my own.

    Jasmine's POV I haven't seen Nico around since he left my office two weeks ago. I'm glad he's keeping his distance, just as I requested. I should feel good, right? Yes, I do, of course. Well, I don't really know how I feel right now.As for my work in the company, I still hear some comments when I pass by the hallway leading to my office. Most of the staff avoid me. I don't know if it's fear or something else. I really don't care.But surprisingly, while I was eating lunch in the cafeteria a week ago, a tall, slender lady walked up to my table."Hi, do you mind if I share your table?" she asked."No, I don't. Please sit," I replied."I see you're having my favorite right there, huh?" the lady said, gesturing to my food.I looked at my food. It was just a pickled ham sandwich and iced tea. "It's my favorite as well," I said.I wondered who this strange lady was. I didn't think I had seen her around."Don't give me that creepy look," she laughed.Shit, I thought it wasn't obvious."I'm

    Nico's POV "Jasmine was on her way to the penthouse. How could she have gotten a hold of that place? Or did you tell her about it?", he asked."I haven't said anything about the penthouse to her""Okay, that settles it. So where did she get the information?"."I'm yet to ask her. I doubt she would even tell me". I adjust my neck tie. "Leave that to me then, but all of this couldn't have been a coincidence: going to the penthouse, traffic, a dark alley, a murder scene. It was a well-planned scheme to get her to witness that murder. And then again, the body could have been disposed of without Jasmine having to come across it. All mafia know how to do a clean job. No one wants to get involved with the police. So I suppose they weren't smart when they left the body there, making it look like a well-intended murder".That's a point I didn't consider. The job they did was messy. It should have been a very quiet one, not one to raise suspicions."Look into Richard. He was the one who drove

    Nico's POVI stood by as I watched her car driving away. When I could no longer see her car, I returned my focus to Richard. I took slow, dangerous steps toward him. He moved back in fear. I'm sure the look on my face wasn't welcoming at all.What was it she said again? "Go get the recording from Richard.""Hand me the recording, Richard," I said."I'm sorry, sir. I should have—""Hand me the recording, Richard. I don't want to hear any of your apologies," I cut him off.He dipped his hand into his pocket, brought out a phone, and started tapping on it. I was getting impatient already, tapping my foot on the ground."Here, sir," he held out the phone, and voices started talking.So this was enough for Jasmine to believe I committed the murder? I laughed. I can't believe this."How did you get your hands on this, and how did this even happen?" I barked.He bowed his head."You have a minute to start talking, or you'll be gone."So Chad was murdered and dumped on the side of the road, a

    Nico's PovI was already on the highway. It was pretty early, so there was no traffic, giving me a smooth ride. I was humming as I drove. I was excited. I’d be dropping Michael at school again today, and Jasmine had agreed to let me take care of him with her. "He's your son," she had said. A smile broke out on my lips.I arrived at my destination, drove into the driveway, parked my car, and stepped out. I knocked gently twice on the door and waited for Jasmine to unlock it. Someone was at the door. I readjusted my shirt, even though it already looked good. The door creaked open, and it wasn’t Jasmine. I was a little disappointed."Hi, Isabella.""Good morning, Nico. Please come in.""Thank you. What about Jasmine?" I asked as we moved past the hallway."She's not down yet. I'm sure she's getting ready," she replied."And Michael?""I was about to bring him down for breakfast. Give me a minute," she said, taking the stairs. "Please make yourself comfortable," she said over her shoulder

    Nico's POVI just wanted to have some drinks with the guys. It's been quite a while since we gathered around to have some bottles of drinks.Is this the right time to drink? Fabio is at it again. There's an issue in the company, Marcus is acting up, and there are Carmilia's brothers too. He's nagging too much at this point. Don't you think you should settle down and clear your head? I'll set all that straight. What's the harm in having a little bit of fun? Come with me. I was already on my feet.The penthouse was designed for meetings with my gang members, so it's quite spacious. Most of them hang out here all the time, and it's safe as well. There are standby guards, maids, and chefs who do the cleaning and cooking. I arrived at the bar and sat on the first stool I saw there. It didn't take long for Fabio to throw himself next to me, frowning as though I stole his candy. I chuckled. He was uptight."Loosen up, Fabio. Nothing's gonna go wrong tonight," or so I thought.One of the guys

    JASMINE'S POVThe sun's rays, trying hard to burst into the room, signified it was morning already. That was quick. I should shower and prepare so I can drop Michael off at school before heading to work.I chose to wear a black gown today. The color was a deep, rich black that seemed to absorb the light around it. It fell just above the knee, creating a modest yet stylish silhouette. The skirt was A-line, with a subtle flare that made movement easy.I sat to do a little bit of makeup, to cover any patches that could still be on my face. I applied my lip gloss before slipping into a pair of silver heels. They weren't too high to make me uncomfortable. Taking a final look at my reflection in the mirror, my hand traced the delicate, hand-beaded embroidery that adorned the neckline. It was beautiful.As I stepped out of my room, I wanted to check on Mike to see if Isabella was done getting him ready, but I stopped when I heard his laughter from downstairs. A smile appeared on my lips, but

    Jasmine's POVI turned swiftly to see Isabella. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. "What the hell, why...why do you look this way? What happened? Are you hurt?" she bombarded me with questions."Keep it low, Bella. It's a complicated matter. I'll freshen up, then I'll explain everything to you. Where's Michael? I don't see him anywhere.""He's taking a nap," she replied."I should go now," I said, rushing into the bathroom as soon as I arrived in my room. I scrubbed my hands in the washbasin, applying as much soap as I could so the blood would come off. It did come off, but I couldn't erase the blood from my mind. This was Chad's blood. I kept scrubbing; I might even sustain an injury if I kept this up, but what could I do now? Chad was dead, and I felt responsible for it.My legs gave in as I sat on the ground, and tears started falling from my eyes on their own accord. "Nico went too far this time," I thought. "It's all becoming clear now. The rage in his eyes when he h

    JASMINE'S POVThe traffic was taking longer than expected; the clock was ticking. What if I didn't get there in time to stop Nico? No, I couldn't let this happen. With each passing second, I felt my heart was about to explode. "Okay, I'm done playing cool, Richard. Please go ahead and take the shorter route. I promise to talk to Nico about it.""But, ma'am, he strictly warned me about this, and you might be in danger. I can't risk that.""Okay, fine. I'll play my last card. I think Nico is about to do something crazy, and if I don't get there in time, there'll be huge consequences. Just consider this an emergency. I tried to convince him."He released a sigh, finally giving in. "There's a road ahead. I'll just use it."I looked out of the car, and, truly, he was right. We just had to get past the traffic a little bit. Richard made a turn, and the road was free of other vehicles, but it looked a bit creepy. The only light was the one at the beginning of the road, and since then, we had

    Chad's POV He doesn't reply to me immediately but instead passes across some coded message to the rest of the men, and they take their sweet time circling us, forming a tight barricade around the car. I clench my fist, knowing that this situation is one that I won't be able to get out of easily.What do you want from me? I say, trying for another approach."You're asking unnecessary questions, man," the masked man says in a gruff voice. He raises his weapon, pointing the gun directly at my head. Anything that makes him pull the trigger at this point leaves me completely dead. The reality is enough to bring shivers down my spine. I purse my lip, thinking desperately for any means of escape. What is happening? My mind keeps on turning up completely blank, and honestly, it leaves me very much frustrated. What do you want from me? I find myself asking at this point. All I'm doing is trying to get the conversation going and stall him for as long as I can while waiting not so patientl
