Chapter 25: Trust and Loyalty

Draco’s P.O.V

‘I’ve sent her back to your room, Capo. Keeping watch outside the door. There are guards stationed under the balcony as well.’

I shut my cell phone after reading through the message that Joel had sent me before turning to the consignment that had arrived this evening at the warehouse. Aside from the new mix of drugs, there had been a few firearms that my men had been able to get a hold of, some of which were initially supposed to go to Cheng and the Triad, but with him no longer in the picture, the seller had instead chosen to offer the deal to the one who had made shot the final bullet at Cheng Li.

Rico walked in at that moment, looking more like a train wreck than he did when I saw him this afternoon.

“Did you drop off the kid?” I asked him, telling my men to take the packages over to the side so they could count the numbers

I have to be more than just a mistress, more than a person he sleeps with for him to actually lead me to anything useful.”Truth was, after Draco’s bodyguard, Joel, had left me in the room today after lunch, I had to tiptoe around the room and look through all the drawers I could open without a lock to try and find something that I migh

I had expected to be back here the very next day, in the afternoon at the latest.”“That still doesn’t excuse what you did to me.” I told him outright. “It was still wrong.”“And what about you?” Draco tilted up my face with his fingers under my chin. “Do you think what y

It wasn’t exactly convenient for them to stay away from their territory any longer because in the criminal underworld, no one knew who was going to backstab you next. No one co

    Chapter 29: Don’t Make Me Weak…Regina’s P.O.VIt was some time after lunch hours that I heard a knock at the door to Draco’s room.I frowned as I came inside from the balcony, where I had been looking out at the vast land stretched out for miles in front of me and admiring the view. Honestly, I was bored out of my mind at having nothing to do in this huge ass house.The humongous swimming pool in the front yard was tempting at best but at the same time, I didn’t want to bathe in it because so far, all I had seen were male bodyguards stationed at every nook and cranny around this estate and the last thing I wanted was for them to be ogling me as I went to the pool in a bathing suit.But despite this being a mansion…the only rooms I was allowed to access were the dining room, the living room, the kitchen and Draco’s room. Which wasn’t much considering the huge amount

They were arguing about something that night…something I don’t even remember, and I asked them if they were getting a divorce.” I lied, because I couldn’t let him know the truth. “They were shocked that I would think that way. Truth was…I had never seen my parents fight like that before. They used to argue at home to, but I guess that’s normal when you work in the same company.”“But that day it was worse. But they reassured me that it was nothing…they were just having a disagreement and it will eventually be sorted out.

    Chapter 31: Aftercare Regina’s P.O.V “Ouch! Be gentle, will you?” I raised my eyebrows at the man who didn’t have any problem having sex on the cold, hardwood floor with two bullet holes on his shoulder; but now wants me to be ‘gentle’ while I scrub his back in the shower? Okay…I admit…there might be more than a few scratches from my nails on his back now, but I had more hickies all over my chest to match those scratches! It serves him just right! But I obeyed his demands nonetheless and wiped his back gently, reminding myself to be careful of the bullet wounds. They were still raw and healing and it was going to take some time before he could remove those patches from his skin that prevented water to enter the wounds and infect them further. “So…how was your day?” I asked nonchalantly. Draco however, stilled in front of me; his body going motionless like a statue. “Why do you ask?” There was something in his voice that I didn’t quite grasp, but I decided to let it go because

I told them I was going to your house to finish working on my assignment…”However, now I looked up at the long line of men and women standing in front of me, lining up to enter the club at nine in the evening; my fake ID clutched tightly in my hands because I was scared of someone noticing me or snatching the ID from my hands.“Well, stop doing that!” Keith finally sighed at my nervousness. “If you keep looking like a deer caught in a headlight, we’d be kicked out in no time.

I frowned at his smug expression. “More art supplies?” I don’t think the art room had any more space for art supplies and I already had everything I could have every dreamed of. Why was Draco giving me more boxes of them again? “You know these things can go bad too, right?” I raised my eyebrows at him. “Paint can dry up just as easily and your Capo has gotten me enough to last me two years even if I were to paint on a daily basis! What exactly is he trying to do here? Turn me into Leonardo da Vinci?” “If you would only just…open the goddamn box!” Joel threw up his hands in frustration. Rolling my eyes at his dramatics, I got off my stool to set aside my brushes and clean my hands from the residual paint before I went on to open the box that Joel had delivered to me.

He had been waiting in his car that was parked a block away from the station, so that no one got suspicious of him.That boy again! Rico frowned as he saw Paris say goodbye to a friend of his, that had followed him to join the NYPD right after graduating college.If he wasn’t wrong…the boy had been Paris’s friend in school as well. It made Rico frown even harder. Why was that boy following Paris around even now?“Hey.” Paris greeted him as soon as he entered the car. “Have you been waiting long?”“Five minutes.” Rico’s voice was curt, and he instantly regretted the slip up.“What’s up with you? You sound grumpy.” Paris raised his eyebrows at his boyfriend. “Was it something about work?”“No.” Rico shook his head. “It’s nothing,”He drove away from the alleyway, heading towards their apartment. It was fairly new and they had moved in together only a few days ago. Offic

We’ve had quite a few rounds last night…but it looks like I’m not getting a break this morning either…not that I was complaining…The downside of having kids is not ge

    Chapter 98: A Second ChanceRegina’s P.O.V“Alistair!”The sound of the gunshot reverberated through my brain, making me freeze on the spot.The world seemed to be holding its breath as the sounds faded from all around us.The sound of my own heartbeat felt like a Lambeg drum. The noise filling my ears until everything else seemed to fade away.And then…instead of Alistair…I saw Gabriele drop to the floor.It was an eerily dreadful sight. How he fell to his knees first, his hands dropping to his side as the gun fell out of it. And as he fell…Gabriele’s right eye exploded in a spray of blood and brain matter.Blood gushed out of his hollow eye, running down his cheek and dripping down from his chin as the eyeball lay in splatters on the ground, only a few feet away from me.And then he fell on the floor face first, and I covered my mouth as bile rose to my throat at the sight of the broken skull at the back of his head.Alistair turned to face me, urging me to turn around as well, but

And even though he didn’t show it on his face, I knew he was scared.It was evident in the slight tremble in his voice; the way he clutched me to his side with all his strength. He was worried about our daughter.This wasn’t how I had planned to introduced Harmona ti Draco. This wasn’t how a father’s first meeting with his daughter was supposed to be like.But right at that moment, a thought came to my mind…and it twisted my gut in horror.“Juliana…” I whispered.She was in charge of guarding my daughter…there was no way that she could’ve let Harmona go so easily…unless…No…they killed her! They…I failed her…I failed the woman I swore to protect…Gabriele and Enzo stepped into the living room from the hallway, Harmona still in their grasp.“Ah! Leonardo.” Gabriel’s sly smirk was filled with malice. “I think I should properly introduce the two of you.”My heart almost burst out of my chest as I saw

Just before his eyes rolled back into his head, I made eye contact with the fucker, watching with satisfaction as his eyes widened in horror.His body fell limply to the side, but I knew he wasn’t dead. The Vincenzo fuckers were too stubborn to die from a simple glass vase to the head. But if he had permanent brain damage, that wo

    Chapter 95: The Real PlanRegina’s P.O.V“What is the meaning of this?”Someone shouted, their voice enraged.But all I could hear was the static in my ears as blood gushed through my body, adrenaline kicking in as Antonio’s words suddenly became clearer.‘You’re nothing more than a pawn in this game! You’re Leonardo’s trash and as soon as we’ve gotten rid of him, you’ll become useless!’‘In two days, you’ll know exactly where you belong! At my feet!’Suddenly, the words that I had discarded off as a spoilt brat having a tantrum, came back to haunt me in full force.Antonio had been giving me hints because he knew exactly what his father had planned to do. And I hadn't paid any heed to him because I hadn't believed he would actually provide me with anything valuable.Turns out, the useless prick had been more useful that I had given him credit for.But now…it was too late.My heart trashed against my ribcage wildly as I tried to think about every possible scenario in which I could get

    Chapter 94: A Party from HellRegina’s P.O.VTwo days had passes by as if they had been two centuries.We were constantly being watched, me, Juliana and Harmona.Enzo had fixed times for me to play with my own daughter and Juliana had to wait in another room until we were done spending time with each other.I don’t know what Gabriele had told him or what kind of proof he may have about me, but whatever it was, it was bad enough that Enzo was losing his trust in me.A trust that I had needed years to build.And I needed him to trust me now more than ever. With the most influential leaders of the mob finally assembling under one roof, I needed to be at the epicenter of it all to know what was going on.If I continued to be locked up like this, in Antonio’s room, then there was very little chance that I would be able to warn them at all.I was dressed in a red dress once again, just like the first day I met Draco and revenge against those who had made my life a living hell, had officiall

Joining hands with Enzo? Why had I not seen that coming?The moment Draco told me that Rosanna was locked up in his office, with Gustav guarding her so that she cannot answer Gabriele’s phone calls. That should’ve made me think of every possible angle! Damnit!It was happening again! Draco was clouding my judgment yet again and this time at such a crucial moment.Gabriele was going to figure out that something was wrong right away, especially when he had been the one to send Rosanna those pictures of me and Harmona. He must have wanted Rosanna to confirm that it was indeed Draco’s child.And now that he knows Draco has an heir, he’s desperate to get Draco out of the way as soon as possible.And what better an opportunity than the man who was vying for the
