Salvador's Queen Chapter Thirty-eight
Liam's POV Alice stood up as I walked to her side. I missed her for just the little time I was away with Lucas. I couldn't help but pull her close to my body, placing a peck on her cheeks. We were both affected by each other's touch. I was well aware that people were staring at us, but I don't give a fuck about them. "So what are we looking at here?" I asked her. "It's just a game of cards. I trust you. So, I'll just leave you to it." I sat at the card table, surrounded by Lucas and some of the other Dons. Alice had left the room but had made me play a game of cards. I don't why she has so much Faith in me that I could win but I loved that. I could feel the eyes of the men on me, assessing my every move. I was on guard but didn't give anything away with my expression. They all feared me because I was untouchable. They also knew better than to cross me. Thinking about it, I now understand why Alice wanted me to play with them, the silly girl loves to rile everyone. This wil

Alice's POV Lucas brought out a big box filled with all kinds of knives, and I couldn't help but marvel at the assortment. The ball had taken a rather unusual turn, and the final game of the evening was knife-throwing. The catch? The couples had to participate. The men were to stand as the target while their wives threw the knives. The women had to make sure the knife didn't touch their husband, and the game would end once all the knives in the box were used up. It was a terrifying prospect, and I watched as the guests started shivering in fear. I wasn't scared, though. I found the whole situation amusing, and I was sure Liam did too. We were Dons, after all. We were supposed to be fearless. As the game began, I watched with bated breath as the first couple took their turn. They threw the knives with such force, I was convinced they were going to kill each other. But somehow, they managed to avoid any injuries, and the game continued. Then it was the Kayles' turn. Everyone knew th

It had been a while since I saw him - Jackson, the man who was once obsessed with me.He was a member of a rival mafia family, and we had a brief relationship before he disappeared without a trace. I had thought about him occasionally over the years, wondering where he had gone and what he was up to. But seeing him at the ball tonight was unexpected, and I couldn't help but wonder why he had resurfaced after so long.As we drove in silence, I couldn't help but replay the encounter in my head.

Alice had always been a strong and confident woman, but I knew that even the strongest people had their moments of vulnerability.The next day, I noticed that Alice was more reserved than usual. She seemed lost in thought and distant, and it was clear that something was weighing on her mind.

As a Don, I had learned to read people, and I could tell that Alice was hiding something from me.

Alice's POV I woke up feeling refreshed and ready for the day, but as I rolled over to Liam's side of the bed, I realized he wasn't there.That was unusual. Liam always made it a point to be by my side when he could, but I shrugged it off and got up to start my day.As I walked down the stairs, I noticed Silver, one of my female guards, standing by the entrance with a serious expression on her face."Good morning, Silver," I greeted her, trying to sound casual."Good morning, Bessa," she replied, her voice flat."What's going on?" I asked, noticing that something was off."Boss has gone out with Simone to capture Jackson," she explained.My eyes widened in excitement. I had been waiting for this moment for a long time.Jackson had messed with the wrong person when he killed my friends, and I was eager to see him pay for his actions."Take me to the location," I said, my voice dripping with anticipation.Silver hesitated for a moment, knowing that Liam would not be pleased if he found

I had always known he was dangerous, but I had no idea just how psychotic he truly was.As he paced back and forth in front of me, I could see the obsession in his eyes. He wanted me for his own personal gain, and he was willing to do whatever it takes to keep me under his control."You see, Alice," he said, his voice laced with a sickeningly sweet tone. "I've always known we were meant to be together. You were always the one who got away, but now I have you. And I'm not going to let you go."I tried to keep my composure, but the fear was starting to seep in. I had always been a powerful Don, but I was completely helpless in this situation."You're sick, Jackson," I spat out. "You need help."He chuckled at my words. "You always did have a way with words, Alice. But don't worry, soon enough you'll see things my way. And then, we can finally be together."I knew I had to get o

I couldn't stay here any longer.I examined every inch of the room, looking for any weaknesses or cracks in the walls. But there was nothing, just solid concrete. I started to panic, feeling trapped and helpless.I heard footsteps outside the door, and I quickly jumped back onto the bed and pretended to be asleep. The door creaked open and I peeked through one eye, trying to see who was there.It was one of Jackson's henchmen, a burly man with a scowl on his face. He came in to check on me, making sure I hadn't escaped. I kept my breathing slow and steady, trying not to give myself away.As soon as he left, I sprang into action. I ran to the door and tried to jiggle the handle, but it was still locked tight. I slammed my fists against the door, hoping someone would hear me, but it was no use. I was completely

Alice turned to look and saw a group of black SUVs racing towards them."They are getting closer."Alice screamed.Liam gritted his teeth and pushed the gas pedal harder, trying to outrun their pursuers. But it was no use. The SUVs were too fast, and they were quickly closing in on them."Get down, Alice!"
