Kaiden:

I step out of the car onto the damp asphalt. The salty tang of seawater and diesel filling my nose.

I take in the tangled mess of overturned containers and abandoned vehicles. Part of my security team is already here digging through the mess.

Spotting Andreas I head towards him.

"What do we know?" I ask.

"Not much yet", he replies in a resigned tone. " It was highjacked at about 3 am. Luckily, no one was killed just a bit bruised up. But there was no sign of forced entry. "

My eyes narrow at this information.

"An inside job, again."

"You know, this isn't looking too good for you, Andreas," I inform him.

"Being the head of security and all", I add sarcastically.

Andreas's expression is neutral but I notice a flicker of distress in his eyes.

"I understand your concerns, Sir. But be rest assured that I'm just as shocked at this as you are."

"Hm"

I turn to Alex, who has been watching the exchange with thinly veiled amusement.

"Send me the security footage. And question the guard

  • The Mafia Don's Revenge   Beneath The Surface.

    Kaiden:I step out of my shower to find my tablet in Daisy's hands."You know, you keep implicating yourself. For someone who swears she has no idea what's going on." I tell her as I make my way towards my closet.Pulling out a pair of basketball shorts and a shirt. Turning around, I watch her avert her gaze as I pull on the clothes."Nothing to say?" I bait her.She places the device beside her and keeps her eyes pinned away.Frustrated by her silence I head to the bed and climb in. Keeping my eyes fixed on her form on the couch."You weren't lying, were you? He did steal from you." She says quietly.I don't answer. I keep watching her as she buries her face into her hands. Her shoulders are slumped.The defeat in her posture irks me. I'm used to her kicking and screaming not this resigned version of her.Sighing I stand up from the bed and make my way towards her. She stiffens and peeks up at me from between her fingers.Pulling her hands from her face, I tug her to her feet and lea

    Daisy:I snuggle deeper into my pillow. Digging my nose into it and inhaling its citrusy scent.It moves beneath me. I pause, confused by that. Determined to ignore it, I burrow deeper and start to slip back into a dream state.It moves again, this time arms come around me and I'm pressed deeper into it. A rumbling snore sounds beneath my head.Wait.Drowsily, I open my eyes and peer beneath myself. Blank ink spirals from underneath my cheek. Pale skin stretches over a mouthwatering chest.My heart skips a beat as I realise I'm lying on top of Kaiden. I pull away slowly, trying my best not to wake him up. His arms tighten around me, holding me in place.He stirs, his eyes fluttering open. We stare at each other. Him with confusion, me with embarrassment. I can't believe I cuddled up against him.Then, his expression changes, and he looks at me with an expression of surprise and annoyance."What are you doing?" He growls, his voice rough from sleep."Trying to get out of bed," I tell h

    Daisy:We're in the car, headed to God knows where. Kaiden didn't reveal anything about where we're going, a fact that's been annoying me since we left the boutique.After tagging along with him to check on shipments and waiting in receptions during his meetings, I thought that would be the end of the day.Wrong.Instead, here I am in a dress and heels going to an undisclosed location. Well, I'm not too mad at the outfit though. The shimmering material feels like silk on my skin and flows down my body like a wave.The gold straps of my heels wind around my calf in a surprisingly comfortable way. I catch my reflection in the car window. My braids are in a bun at the top of my head and the makeup accentuates my features.Kaiden sits across from me, but I ignore him as I've been doing since we left the last location. I feel his heavy gaze as he waits for me to acknowledge his presence."We're headed to Vitalis Palace." His voice comes as a low murmur.Vitalis Palace, the epitome of exclu

    Kaiden:Chaos erupts. Shouts ring out as bullets rain from above, the sounds echoing off the walls.People throw themselves to the ground, taking cover under the sparse tables available. The air is filled with the smell of gunpowder.What idiot brought a gun to the Palace? This is a neutral ground and this quarterly dinner is a way to forge alliances.Without our weapons and bodyguards, we're left open to this attack. The lights have plunged us into a red haze, making it impossible for me to see a few feet in front of me.Some of the Dons are guarding their wives and significant others, their bodies forming a shield around them.We are all crouched on the floor, unsure of where the shots are coming from. Someone's trigger-happy, but even amid the chaos I notice that no one has been hit.The top echelon of crime is in this room and no one wants to make a stupid mistake that will lead to an all-out war.My mind is racing.Fuck.

    Daisy: It's silent now, my ears ringing in the aftermath of it all. The gunshots and screams have stopped but I remain in the hallway too scared to move. I wrap my shaking arms around myself as I remain crouched on the floor with my back pressed to the wall. Where's Kaiden? Is he hurt? My heart pounds in my chest as I take deep breaths to calm myself down, pressing my hands to my mouth to muffle my sobs. The door at the end of the hallway opens slowly. I press myself deeper into the wall in a bid to appear smaller. My chest feels like it's constricting, like a vice is squeezing the breath out of me. I couldn't move, couldn't think. I watch as a figure moves into the hallway, squinting to make out his identity. "Daisy" I let out a sigh of relief as the Russian accent registers in my mind. "Ivan?" I ask, my voice shaky. He walks towards me and crouches so we are at the same level. "Are you okay? I've been looking for you." Ivan tells me. I peer over his should

    5 Hours Earlier Kaiden: I step out of the car, my eyes fixed on the entrance of my casino. I was already running late and Andreas's urgent call only added to my frustration. The usually bustling casino is quiet, the only sound is the soft hum of slot machines. I spot Andreas waiting for me, his expression grim. "What's going on?" I asked, my voice low and urgent. I toss my suit jacket, accepting the gun he stretches out to me. Tucking it into my belt, I strap on a bulletproof vest. I carefully lift the AK-47 from the duffel bag, my hands moving with practised ease. Sliding the sling over my shoulder and adjusting it to fit comfortably. The weight of the rifle settled against my back, a reassuring presence. Lastly, I secure the armband with a phi symbol on it for identification. "The mole sabotaged the casino, we've got multiple hostiles on the upper floors." Andreas supplies. "What went wrong?" I inquire angrily. "He hacked into the security system. That's how w

    Kaiden:I crack open my eyes, wincing at the brightness of the room. My gaze is unfocused and I blink once, twice, to shake off the bleariness.There's a heaviness in my head and my thoughts are muddled. I lift a shaky hand to my head, flinching when there's a stiff pull at my side.Taking in my room, I try to remember how I got here. Fragments begin to surface, the sound of gunfire, an armband, searing pain in my head and my side and the sensation of being carried.The casino ambush.

I close my eyes and wait for it to clear.Gazing down at my body, I take in the bandages wrapped around my arm and my side. Slowly lifting my hand, I trace the source of the throbbing in my head.

  • The Mafia Don's Revenge   A Fragile Bond

    CHAPTER 18: Kaiden: I stand in the doorway of the apartment staring at Daisy over her friend's head. My gaze sweeps over her, taking in her thighs and the shorts that cling to her hips. The thin tank top she wears outlines her curves. My eyes linger on her hair, it forms a halo around her face. Daisy's eyes are wide with surprise as she takes in my form. My lips twitch into a smile but I quickly repress it. Did she think I won't find her? I still don't understand how she managed to make it out of the house and I have some questions about that. Due to our time together, I had forgotten the fact that she's a suspect. I won't forget it again. "Daisy? Who is this?" Her friend asks. She has placed herself in front of me to block me from entering; not that she's much of a barrier. It wasn't hard to find Daisy, given my resources. She left with no money and barefooted, she would've needed someplace to stay. That left either Aunt Mercy or Stacy Tupas and from the report I got fro

    Daisy:Three Days Ago:Stacy, my best friend, stares at me in shock from the doorway of the convenience store.I raise my hand, giving her a limp wave and an awkward smile.She rushes to me, her sneakers squeaking against the floors and wraps me in a tight hug. My throat closes up as I hug her back, resting my chin on her shoulder."Where have you been?" She whispers harshly in my ear. "We've been worried sick, Daisy." I hear her sniffle. "I literally filed a police report." She leans back, grasping my shoulders in her hand and shakes me. Her eyes search mine as she waits for an answer."I just had to get away." I mumble, trying to justify my absence."With Callum’s death being so mysterious and the police doing absolutely nothing about it... I just felt so helpless, Stacy." My chest tightens as I lie to her but I can't possibly tell her the truth, i don't want to put her in danger. Plus, I'm not sure she'd believe me; the truth sounds so far fetched.Stacy wraps me in another hug,
