"We have a major problem! Now!!"
I looked back at Susan and dropping the sticks in our hands immediately and followed Francesca.
I ran directly to the missions room with Susan right behind me, I bursted through the door and saw our tech ladies typing frantically.
I ran towards the big screen and saw a large warning sign blinking and everyone in obviously in a panic.
Francesca jogged up to me.
"There's been a breech in our firewall and security system. In other words, we've been hacked." I stared back at her in shock because it was need impossible to breech our system.
"What the hell happened!!" I screamed.
Francesca shrudded under my gaze as I looked back at the screen but something caught my eye, it looked like something was being downloaded.
Then it dawned on my, out personal fil
*"We found him!"I felt my eyes swell with every passing moment, I looked sharply at Stephanie and I guess she understood since she drowned her drink and nodded back at me."I need the coordinates now and tell Susan to get the girls ready t-""They're actually in Area C, close to where you are actually." I heard Francesca say."Is there any other bar or cafe close by?" I asked the bartender ignoring Francesca."I-i think there's a small bar a few blocks away from here." She said startled."Can you pinpoint the exact location, we're leaving now." I said picking up my jacket and Stephanie doing the same."Call one of the executives here and inform them to get ready, I and Stephanie are already making a move. Also tell everyone back home not to come here, it's too far for them to reach on time, besides I t
* The sound of his voice caused me to shivers all over and the sound of my name from his mouth gave me goosebumps, in a disgusting manner. I turned my head down the room and realized it just wasn't an ordinary office but an underground cafe, probably where he has been hacking us from. I felt my blood boil knowing I that was in the same room as the man who ruined my entire life. If I hadn't gone to him that night, my family would probably be alive. "Hello Hugo, it sure has." I said though gritted teeth. "Really, you don't seem pleased at all. It almost sounds like you want to kill me." He said leaning forward on the table in front of him. "It's seems spending time apart made you understand me better." I said slowly making my way towards him but he smirked. "So what brings you here after all this time? Or did yo
* I slammed the now busted up bat in the face of the last guy standing between me and Hugo. "Wow, worked up quite the work out here. So... You were saying?" I looked back at Hugo It was obvious that he was shaken but I believe he didn't want me to see his weak side. "S-so you really are that Adira." Hugo started. "Look, I'll tell you the truth. It's all my Dad's doing, when he found out we were together he was furious and I had to break up with you, it was so hard on me then, he said you weren't strong enough to handle his empire..." He started rambling. "And and... When he heard that Wong Shin adopted you as his daughter he snapped, he already had an old grudge against the old man and set up an assassination team to wipe you all out..." Memories of the fire flooded my mind and my blood began to boil afresh.
* I had to stay in bed for a few day since the shock affected my nerves. I remember getting an earful from Tin about going out on my own into dangerous waters (air quotes.). She said that my anger was never going to get me anywhere and against Hugo, he was definitely going to use it against me. After that she put me off work and made sure that I was resting at all times. It's been 3 days since my encounter with Hugo and I was dying to talk to someone about it. I picked up my phone and called both Susan and Stephanie to come over, that is without Tina finding out. A few hours later I heard a knock on my door, I took my cane and walked over to open the door and there they were. "I came here as fast as I could, what do you need." Stephanie said chocking me in a hug. "You sent for me sensie." Susan said standing b
*(Fast-forward to a month later)It's been a month of rigorous planing and thankfully Tina hasn't gotten wind of what we've been up to.I was able to resume work after a week of house arrest and during that time I was able to achieve a lot thanks to Francesca.She helped narrow down places that Hugo visited and was usually seen, making it easier for our sting operation. Since I couldn't go out for obvious reasons I sent Stephanie to stalk him for a while.As risky as it was for both parties, Susan was able to control herself and hold back on breaking a few of Hugo's bones.Since if we were going to attack, we were doing to attack where it hurts the most, in other words where the sun don't shine. This would be my best revenge yet.I parked my car in front of the manor as usual, everything was going according to plan an
*I drove through an area that Stephanie said was sure most paparazzi staked at and made sure to buy something.I was really far driving from Area Z to Area C, so I'm glad I get to stop and eat. I pulled up to a drive in but then decided to go in for maximum effect.According to Steph, Headlines: Multimillionaire eating at a cheap restaurant. She said it was going to blow like fire.Susan would take care of Tina and fill us in on important info on her whereabouts and what she was doing at every moment.Stephanie was looking for something light she could leak to the police that was serious but would get me off with a warning at most.After I ordered, I took a seat down in a booth and went through my phone, I was bored so I opened an app that one of the kids installed on my phone, they called it TikTok.I just thought it was j
* I nodded and looked at Stephanie, she stood up and I followed at the back. We got out and met the police, Bethany who was now the chief of police looked at me seriously. Before I knew what was happening, Bethany screamed and tackled me into a bear hug. I almost forgot how hyperactive she was, she might be a police officer now but she would always be the super active little sister I never had. "You never call me and when you do it's a favour to arrest you. Are you crazy!?" Bethany screamed. I laughed at how cute she was, her deputy beside her facepalming his self as he lived the drama in front him. "It's nice to see you too Bethany. How are you?" I asked her with a smile. "Great, I've been recommended by the force to work with the Interpol. I'm going to be chasing foreign and dangerous criminals." She said excitedly.
*Knock! Knock!!Shit... I was so tired, I don't have the energy to face back up. The knock became more persistent, I jogged to the living room calming my breath in case I needed to fight again.I tapped my wristband to try and get backup but I noticed that the knocking stoped for a few seconds then. Boom!The door bursted open, I shielded my eyes from foreign objects getting into them. Hearing footsteps I moved back as I was at a disadvantage, I ran towards the kitchen sink to rinse out my face but the person was already coming closer.Thankfully the knife case was near and so with every step I anticipated my every move, when the person got close enough I quickly grabbed the knife and swung it across but it was stopped like it was nothing.There were only two people who could stop a blade in that I held, Master and..... Tina! 
Hello Everyone. I just want to use this opportunity to say thank you for reading my books and for those of you who support it... Thank you a million more time and readers are just as special ☺️.The Mafia's Lover has come to an end but don't be too quick to Jump the boat because it's not over untill it's over. So without Further Adieu, I am proud to announce the sequel of the Mafia's Lover.THE MAFIA'S DAUGHTER. We're going to see a whole lot more of Ashton and Adira in this book as well as maybe, Adira's children, so I beg you to be patient and just hold on. this is not the end but the beginning. Thank you.❤️❤️❤️❤️
*Warning: Mature content ahead...After the two had cried their eyes out they cuddled up close to each other with intertwined hands, Adira's head on Ashton's shoulder and the atmosphere serene, nicely folded in a vulnerable blanket... Ashton kept rubbing back on Adira's hair as they enjoyed the silence making Adira feel at peace for the first time in a while, so she began to wonder."Ashton?""Hmm?""Did you see what I did to that man in the alley?" Ashton's hand stopped midway for a second and Adira almost regretted asking when he replied."Yes, yes I did. For the end part though." Ashton answered brushing Adira's long thick black hair down her back."You hesitated." Adira chuckled lightly but sad, "but then, why are you still here?" Ashton thought about it, it wasn't like he didn't know who she was, he just didn't get a glimpse of her past. He wanted to know the present Adira and that was all the reason enough.When Adira felt Ashton's hesitation again, it crushed her but she didn
*"Mister?"Ashton turned his head to look for the little voice which had called out to him before he felt a little tug on his trousers.He looked down between his legs to find a familiar little girl standing in front of him,"Lily?" The little girl's eyes grew in amazement and wonder at hearing her name from the young man. "You know my name?" The little girl asked excitedly.Ashton smiled and sat up to listen to the little girl properly with a smile, the girl raised her arms as if wanting to be carried, confused Ashton did just that hoping she wouldn't cry."Now what does this sweet little girl want from this old man?" "You're not old, you're Adira's friend." Ashton smiled."I'm glad you think of me that way." "Thank you for taking care of Adira and for coming back," Lily said."Coming back?" Ashton asked confused and Lily nodded like he would understand what she meant."Could you explain that for me, please Lily?" She nodded and tapped his arm twice to come down when she was in fr
*Adira assigned a room to Peter while Ashton recovered in their infirmary, he would be staying as long as Ashton was and it would be nice for Phillip to have someone to talk to even if they practically hated each other.It's already been a week since they arrived and now, Adira had to explain to the rest of the house why they had men living in the manor.But before that, Adira needed to finally face Tina. She was caught the same day Hugo was put out if service, a fake location was leaked about Hugo's whereabout and that was how they caught Tina.She's been in their custody since then.After Adira's talk with Peter she decided it was time to let a mother go take care of her son, as much as she despised the family, she would not be the monster they wanted her to be.During the rebuild of the manor, Adira added a few changes to make things a little more interesting. Above were the lives of every member of the house and below h
*Since returning to the manor, Adira had not been able to return home, although her nightmares were less frequent now it still felt strange sleeping within the Wong mansion.It wasn't a problem when she slept with Stephanie in her room and right now she had no idea who she was sleeping with but it feels like she's drained every atom of exhaustion from her body.She felt a strong arm around her as she blinked her eyes open, she couldn't remember the last time she felt comfortable in a man's embrace, she stared up at his face, he was also asleep.From where she was, should see how long his eye lashes were, how pink his lips were and hoped for them on hers. For once in her life, she felt complete again. Who knows what would have happened of Ashton hadn't shown up, she got her revenge, what next? But Ashton was here now, she would take some time off for herself and of course to take care of him, since obviously she shot him so it was
*A month later and Hugo is still nowhere to be found, the tracking team was always on his tale but for some strange reason he always evaded them like he knew they were after him.That night, before Adira could confront him Hugo split the scene. According to Melody, some unknown woman might have tipped him off on what was going on.Thankfully, Melody had already planted the mini microbot in his drink thus them being able to track him down. But alas, nothing lasts forever, it was only a matter of time before those bots were ingested and the signal lost.Aside from all that, the girls were successful, they managed to take over another gang and subdue it's men and thankfully, all 25 of them made it back no casualties recorded.Adira sat in her office waiting for some good news, by now the manor was filled with less people as the older kids had gone back to their daily lives. Stephanie was there for her during these times but it seemed as if Tina was becoming mo
*Hugo was on the ground in an ally, surround by three women holding guns at his head. It was quiet, the only sound he could hear were the sound of his own heart beating and the sound of heels against the concrete.Finally, Adira stood in front of him, it was as if everything she did, added up to this very moment. After chasing him down for almost a whole year, here he was in front of her, helpless and weak."Adi- Adira, no.. you don't want to do this. Th- this isn't you, please." Hugo pleaded.Adira stood in front of his watching him intensely, the very definition of if looks could kill. Seeing him this close in front of her made her want to throw up, all she had sacrificed for him, every moment they spent, a lie.Adira drew her gun in front of Hugo, he squealed shifting back but the girls behind him wouldn't let him move an inch. "My dear Hugo, on this day 13 years ago, you dug out my heart and fed it to my and today here
*The night was still, one side loud with cheers and music and another as dead quiet as a grave site. Team Beta made their way into the camp as steely as possible.Their job was as simple, secure the perimeter as much as possible and squeeze out the leader in the mist of the excitement. Half of team Beta secured the hall the party was still hot.The second team took out every other member of the gang they could find, as they slowly surrounded the perimeter."Team Beta is in position send in the demolition team. The coast is clear, I repeat, the coast is clear." Adira's team arrives but the mission is already compromised when the men figure out that half their security is no where to be found.A fight breaks out of no where. It was early but the ladies had anticipated this much with Phillip and attacked. Adira took down every man as they pushed closer, the men came with their gun but Adira was just as ready.Adira got to the bunker the alpha team was
*"Team alpha has successfully entered into enemy base, initiating phase two, operation distraction." *Before the girls were lead in the man had to inform one of their superiors so it wouldn't complicate matters afterwards.It wasn't easy convincing him but after a thorough inspection of the ladies bodies, to be sure they weren't spies or members of the black rose and a promise to perform for the men as well as personal service."This way please, we'll provide you with whatever you need, and you promise us a performance after." Rob said clearing his throat."I can't wait to see what kinds of talents you girls have. I'm hope you don't disappoint me, I have disappointment." Michael said with a hint of danger in his voice."You've put a roof over our heads, this is the least we could do. And I'm a hundred and one percent sure you won't be disappointed." Her words were as smooth as a deadly snake, make his word seem like a worthless cry for help.Michael withdrew sensing the danger but
