Clancy's POV"Drive faster!" I yelled at the driver who I was seated with in the vehicle and he hit the accelerator further with fear written all over his face.My fingers tapped gently below the window and I tried to control my breathing.I was scared for Sofia. Scared they might have harmed her before I got there.Seeing her hurt will definitely plunge my soul into an endless madness.No one is permitted to make her cry.Soon enough, the vehicle came to a halt in front of the Eastern gang base and I alighted immediately.I pulled the pistol behind me and raised my head to see choppers hovering around the base, letting down ropes to aid my armed men to come sliding down the moment I gave the order.I pulled half of my military support in New York to fight with me so more were coming to overpower the gang with me.This was my last chance to get on Sofia's good side and I won't screw it up.I connected an earpiece and cleared my throat, "On my mark... Rain them with all you got"With t
Clancy's POVMy eyes were heavy and I tried to speak but my voice failed me."I'll be in the air again soon and won't be able to take calls. Now that you know I'm fine, I believe you can leave"My throat arched and I realized there was a probability she hadn't taken off from North America yet."Sofia, I wasn't responsible for the downfall of your family. I wasn't even a member then... Still an orphan yet to be adopted" This was true and I hoped to change her mind on this.The Interagent opened my eyes with the mission she gave me and I realized, the Tree might have done more harm to my life than good.They were manipulative."I know, and I know Sonia is responsible. Rear assured I'm not waging war on the McCain. Is that enough for you to go home now?" She asked with her voice back to being calm and I couldn't let her think my coming here was to stop her from waging war.No, after the truth I unraveled today, the Tree syndicate no longer matters to me."Sofia...." My voice cracked and
Sofia's POVI thought I was strong enough to walk away without glancing back but turns out my heart would forever be tied to New York or rather, the pompous Man.Just an apology from him was enough to send streams of tears running down my eyes and the fact that he moved down from New York to New Jersey just to save me from the Eastern Gang.He cared so much about me even though he was a cheater and a liar, and that leaves my decision in conflict.We were about to take off from New Jersey when Carl's call came in so that delayed my flight but I couldn't hang the call on Mr. Pompous. The blissful memories I had with him came circling my head, reminding me of how happy I was to be with him.Why is this happening? Why can't I just let go and forget he ever existed?Maybe the answer is simple, he's my first love and the man who took my virginity.Enough reason to be tied to him, emotionally.Now I cannot stop myself from giving him a choice, one to join me outside of the country and work
Clancy's POVI jumped down from the helicopter which landed on the helipad at the top of the mansion's roof and strengthened my wrinkled t-shirt."Welcome Back, Boss"The watchmen on the roof bowed their heads slowly but I snubbed them and walked away with red eyes.I entered the elevator on the roof and hit the ground floor button before resting my head against the wall." We're done, Mr. McCain. Goodbye," Sofia's last words echoed in my head and I tightened my fist with a heavy heart.She gave me and our love a second chance but I couldn't accept it.As much as I wanted us together again, I would prefer to protect her from the cold hands of the Tree rather than stand by with her and wait for their surprise tactics.Sofia is calm and void of violence for the little time I've known her, and that's exactly what one doesn't need when dealing with the Tree.Her father was ruthless, destructive, and catastrophic, and that's what kept them on par with the Tree.The Tree wouldn't dare launch
Sofia's POVI yawned inside the armored vehicle where I was seated and touched my forehead to note my temperature but it was still warm.Did the distant flight over the air cause me to puke?I wasn't sick before getting on the plane.Pwww! I rubbed my eyes and made to adjust my seating position when the vehicle came to an abrupt stop.The door pulled open and the macho in military uniform who stood outside bowed his head slightly in respect. Oh heaven... Princess treatment.Life has suddenly become good in the blink of an eye.I helped myself out of the vehicle and the macho still had his head down.Not him alone but the rows of waiting military persons who had rifles hung behind them."Alright... That's okay" Don't break your necks pretty please. What? They didn't move an inch still.What the fvck is going on?"The Princess says at ease" Uncle Danny's authoritative voice sounded from a distance and I turned my head to see him approaching alone.The men lifted their heads and the sol
Sofia's POV "How did you know my name?" My brows furrowed.Also, she wasn't calling me Princess as the others."I know everything about you before you vanished. Your data is stored here. I oversee and discharge the resources of the Di Marco, Call me Gloria... I know your name already. I believe you're here to confirm your identity and unlock your locked resources"The old woman rose to her feet from the chair and that was when I noticed there was something strange about her.I don't know but something was simply off. I know it."Don't overthink it. I'm not a human... I am an AI in human form built by your mother and assigned by your father to oversee the resources of the family" The old woman moved past me to the wall on the left side and almost immediately the source of illumination went off to reveal a verification system in place.There was a large screen now in front of me and below it was a fingerprint scanner, slightly different from the one at the door.I placed my hand on it a
Clancy's POVAfter parking my vehicle in the right area, I moved down the beach and looked around to find the Interagent.I had received a call from the woman to meet her at this location.The phone in my hand buzzed and I raised the device to see a new message from her, 'Don't stand there, Honey. Keep moving, find the red umbrella'What could she be up to this time around? My sneakers dug into the beach sand as I moved around trying to locate a red umbrella and I finally did.It was located a few meters from the wave of ocean water flowing towards the open beach.Under was a curvaceous woman in a red bikini lying on a beach mat and her spotless skin glowed under the shade. .The closer I got, the more I realized that she was no other person but the Interagent herself.Her cleavages were exposed from the position. What exactly is going on with this viscous woman?She had sunshades on and the moment my shadow covered her frame, a smirk curved at the corner of her lip."Mr. McCain, yo
Sofia's POV"We're here, Your Highness"I alighted from the white stretch limousine and rolled my eyes behind me to see the dozens of vehicles that had escorted me to my family's old mansion.Tears formed in my eyes as I watched from the distance the one building that was a pillar of my childhood memories."Dad...Mom.... I'm back" I mumbled amidst the tears, "And I miss you so much. We can't be together anymore but..." I wiped the tears out of my eyes and sniffed, "But I'll restore everything that has been stolen from us. I promise"That was when Almond Yuturo and my Uncle alighted from the vehicle behind the limo."They only tampered with the living room. Every other room is intact" Almond Yuturo revealed as he strolled to the spot I was standing and I turned my gaze to ask, "And my family portraits?""I've retrieved them all for you, and the tapes. Is there anything else you need?" He asked humbly and I returned my gaze to the mansion ahead."The Eastern gang in North America. We on
