Arya had her mind made up. There was no way she was standing by the side while the others treated her like a delicate creature.

“Go ahead. Tell me. What are you trying to hide from me?”, she asked.

“That is the problem. I don’t want to lie but, it does not mean I want you to know”, he answered.

Arya blinked. “It’s that bad, right?”, she asked.

“It’s not bad. It’s just better with you not knowing”, he said.

“Still does not change the fact that I’m coming with you. I know you think you are almighty, and strong, and ruthless but I know, I know you can get hurt, be betrayed or worse set up”, she answered.

“And you’re going to save me?”, he asked, amused.

“Yes. I’m going to kick butts. Now, what are you hiding?”, she asked.

“If you must know, we are going to Frigiliana. You don’t know this, but, it was your mother’s village”, Leonardo answered.

“Camilla’s village? She said her village is in Italy. She’s Italian, right?”, Arya asked.

Camilla also insisted on staying in the Villa for the twins and her brothers promised to pop in once in a while. She was grateful her children had people who loved them endlessly around. Amelia made them little caps with their names on it and they looked so cute she began to have second thoughts about going to Spain. She looked at their pictures on her lock screen and held back the tears that threatened to pour out. Leonardo sat opposite her. “How do you feel?”, he asked. “Good. A bit tired but nothing a spa date can’t fix”, she responded and pressed her forehead with her finger tips. “It will be hours before we land. And even more hours to drive to your mother’s town.

Now that they are on the formula, I can drink as much as I want”, she replied, excitement oozing from her voice. She returned to the bed with a bottle of red wine and two glasses. He opened the drink and served them. “To our family”, she said. “To us”, he said and took a sip of his wine. “That’s the stuff”, she said as she took a sip and another, and another. In a couple of seconds, her glass was empty and she picked up the bottle for a refill. Leonardo smiled and shook his head. He walked to the wine cabinet and took a bottl

    Arya and Leonardo had spent the few hours on the plane cuddled up and making love. “The car is waiting”, he said as he clasped her necklace behind her neck. “I don’t want this to end”, she whined as he bent and slipped on her Christian Louboutin. She was wearing a red body con dress and it accentuated her curves. Training with the soldiers everyday had made her body snatched back very quickly. “The kids are with family. We have all the time to do this, okay?”, he asked. “Yeah, I guess”, she replied with a sigh. “Let’s go”, he said and led her outside. True to his word, a car was already waiting for them. He opened the door and she stepped in, flashing him a smile. He entered after her and gave directions to the driver. The security cars were behind and in front of them, heavily armed. He hit the partition before pulling her into his arms. “We should be there in no time”, he said. “I hope so. I would not like to get car sick”, she replied. “You wouldn’t. We ar

    Arya’s brows furrowed. “Excuse me?”, she asked the nun. “Adrianna, right? You’re Adrianna?”, Mother Superior asked. “No. I’m not. I’m sorry. Who are you?”, Arya asked. “I knew her before she left Spain for Italy. You look just like her, every single detail of her”, the Nun responded. Arya glanced at Leonardo who nodded. “She is - was my mother”, she said. It was the nun’s turn to be confused. “Was?”, she asked. “Yes. She died days after my birth”, Arya responded. Raúl shocked face drew her attention. “I’m sorry about that, Dona”, he said. “Adrianna is dead?”, Mother Superior asked. “Yes, sister”, Arya responded. “Oh, my. I did not know. I should go now, I have some new girls joining the convent today”, Mother Superior said and she hurriedly walked out. “I don’t think she reacts well to bad news”, Raúl said. “I can’t blame her. I would also feel bad if someone I knew died”, Arya said. Leonardo held her hand and they walked towards the main room. * * *

    “We are happy to have you here. If you had told us about your plans to visit we would have told you about the terrorist attack that happened recently”, Manuel, the mayor, said. “Terrorists?”, Arya asked. “It’s what we want to call them. No child of this town would do that and they aren’t from Spain or any Spanish speaking countries”, he answered. Arya and Leonardo exchanged looks. “I say this because the villa, where you live, is a target point as it is the most expensive and good looking building in the town. So you might not want to stay there”, Manuel said. The rest of the council nodded. “I knew about that. We will stay at the villa, regardless and hope the terrorists have gotten bored of this place. For their own good, of course”, Leonardo said. The council, except Isabel, laughed awkwardly. The energy had shifted from the moment he said those threats. “We will be on our way now if there is nothing else we should know of”, he said. “Of course, Don. It’s been n

    “So no one can find us here?”, Arya asked. They were in a compound secluded from the city. It had more than fifteen cabins with three bedrooms each. It was more than enough for the thirty soldiers with them. Each room had a sound proof software that can be activated when needed. Rob was carrying in their bags along with security. “It’s completely off the grid. There is a terrorist camp a few miles back so the town people would never come this far”, Leonardo answered. “Oh, I see”, Arya responded. They turned to see Rob running towards them from one of the cabin. “We have your cabin sorted out, Don. And you have a call from the town council”, he said and handed the phone to Leonardo. Leonardo picked up the phone. “Manuel?”, he asked. “No. It’s Isabel, Mother Superior”, the caller said. He put the call on speaker. “Go on.” “You should not stay at the villa. Some of the council members have planned to attack the place. They will send about a hundred killers”, she s

    Arya waited till Leonardo was asleep before carefully moving out of his arms. They had gone a couple of more rounds after and even though her bones screamed sleep, she had to do what she had to do. “Princess?”, Leonardo called, his eyes half opened, hair messy and face sleepy. “I need to use the bathroom”, she said, feeling guilty she had to lie. Well, it wasn’t a lie. More like half truth. He went back to sleep and she walked into the bedroom to go through his phone. As she suspected, it was all work on his phone. His socials though, were popping with texts from a lot of females. She went through them and saw they were mostly popular models, actresses and celebrities. Irritation went through her. She didn’t realize women could be this cheap especially to a married man. “Bitches”, she said. Now more than ever she had the urge to become more active on her socials. The good part was that her husband aired them all. She smiled in satisfaction when she saw he had blocked off

    Leonardo’s grip on her hand tightened as he felt the slightest movement. At first, he thought he imagined it, his exhaustion playing tricks on him. But then, Arya’s fingers twitched again, and a soft, strained breath escaped her lips. His heart pounded. “Arya?” His voice was hoarse, desperate. He leaned closer, brushing a damp strand of hair from her face. Her eyelids fluttered before barely opening, her dark eyes hazy with pain and confusion. She swallowed, her throat dry, and tried to speak, but only a weak whisper came out. “Leo…” Leonardo exhaled sharply, relief crashing into him like a wave. “Mia cara, I’m here,” he murmured, pressing a kiss to her knuckles. “You scared the hell out of me.” Arya’s lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say more, but she winced instead. She tried to shift, but the pain hit her like a hammer, dragging a soft groan from her throat. “Shhh,” he soothed, gently pressing her back down. “Don’t move too much. The doctor said you need to res

    Leonardo hadn’t moved from Arya’s side all night. Her breathing had evened out, but the pallor of her skin was a constant reminder of how close he had come to losing her. He didn’t dare close his eyes, as if staying awake could somehow anchor her to him, keep her safe.It was noon when a soft knock broke the stillness of the room. Leonardo didn’t bother answering. The door opened, and Ricardo stepped inside, his usually composed appearance in shambles. His beard was unkempt, his eyes hollowed by sleeplessness and something darker.“I got your message,” Ricardo said quietly, his voice rough. He glanced at Arya, lying motionless on the bed. “How’s she holding up?”Leonardo let out a slow breath. “Not great. Stable, but…” He shook his head. “This isn’t where she’s supposed to be.”Ricardo nodded, the lines on his face deepening. “I’m sorry, Don. This shouldn’t have happened. Let me help. Where did you last see the attackers?”“Rob and the others are already on it,” Leonardo replied, his

    Leonardo sat slumped in the chair by Arya’s bed, his hand wrapped around hers as though holding on to her would tether her to life. His eyes burned from exhaustion, but he hadn’t dared to close them, not even once. The faint sound of the door creaking open drew his attention. He turned sharply, his face hard, ready to dismiss whoever it was. “Good afternoon, Don,” one of his forensic experts said, stepping into the room cautiously. He held a folder in one hand, his expression a mixture of urgency and hesitation. “The chip we retrieved from Andy’s neck contained encrypted files. My team decoded them late this morning.” Leonardo straightened, his gaze sharp. “What did you find?” The man hesitated briefly, glancing at Arya’s unconscious form before clearing his throat. “Documents and records of purchase. They include significant financial transactions and detailed logs of weapons bought under false identities. It appears to be tied directly to some operations.” Leonardo’s jaw t

    As the doctor worked on Arya, Leonardo paced the length of the room, his fists clenched and his jaw tight. The sight of her pale face and the blood-streaked bandages made his stomach churn. Every shallow breath she took felt like a countdown he couldn’t stop.His phone buzzed in his pocket. He hesitated for a moment, reluctant to take his eyes off her, but he finally answered.“Talk,” he barked.“It’s Sergeant Diaz. We tracked the attackers. Sir, you need to see this,” the soldier said, his voice grim. “It’s not just about the ambush… there’s something bigger going on here.”Leonardo’s grip on the phone tightened. “Send me the details.”“It’s something you have to see in person, sir. A name came up—someone close. I don’t think you’ll believe it unless—”“Just tell me the name,” Leonardo interrupted.There was a pause, heavy with tension. “It’s…” The soldier’s voice dropped. “Adriana.”Leonardo froze. His mind raced, struggling to connect the dots. Adriana? His mother-in-law? The woman

    “Instruct some men to follow them and gather any information we might need. We’ll head back to the hotel and decode the chip,” Leonardo commanded, his voice firm. Arya frowned, her fingers curling into a fist to steady herself. “Why? I thought we were going after them.” Leonardo’s sharp gaze softened, but his tone remained resolute. “We don’t have time to chase shadows, princess. We need to split up. Let them lead us to their base while we focus on the chip.” She shifted uncomfortably, the sharp sting in her side now impossible to ignore. Just as she straightened, the pain betrayed her, pulling a grimace onto her face before she could hide it. Leonardo caught it instantly. His eyes narrowed, his suspicion unmistakable. “Is something wrong?” “Just… shoulder tension,” Arya muttered, forcing a weak shrug. “Come here, princess.” His tone softened as he reached for her. “You shouldn’t have to bear this—” “Ah!” A sharp cry tore from Arya’s lips as Leonardo’s arm brushed her

    With the gunfire subsiding, the world fell into an uneasy silence. Leonardo and Arya regrouped with Rob and the few soldiers who had made it through. The air smelled of burnt gunpowder and death, the metallic tang of blood clinging to their senses. The forensic expert approached Leonardo with careful steps, holding out a small bag. Inside was the chip, smeared with traces of Andy’s blood. Leonardo took it, his fingers brushing against the plastic as he studied it intently, his brow furrowed in thought. “This has to be important,” Arya said, her voice calm but sharp, cutting through the silence. She wiped at her face with a shaking hand, smearing dirt and blood across her cheek. “Andy was tortured for it. And whoever sent that ambush didn’t care about lives—they cared about this.” Leonardo slipped the chip into his pocket, his face unreadable. “If Andy died for it, then it’s worth something. We’ll find out what soon enough.” The group quickly retreated, the convoy of cars wea

    Gunfire shattered the tense moment as bullets ricocheted off the metal surfaces of the dock. Leonardo immediately grabbed Arya and pulled her behind a steel container. Rob dove for cover beside them, drawing his weapon. “Where the fuck did that come from?” Rob hissed, scanning their surroundings. “Ambush,” Arya said through clenched teeth, already gripping her gun. “Stay down,” Leonardo barked, peeking around the corner. He spotted shadows moving near the crates stacked further down the dock. Whoever had come for them was prepared, and they weren’t leaving without a fight. Leonardo signaled to their men, and a firefight erupted. Arya darted out from cover, her movements fluid and precise as she shot at their attackers. Each shot was calculated, dropping one assailant after another. Leonardo felt his chest tighten as he watched her. She was fearless, but fearlessness could also get her killed. “Cover her!” he ordered. Rob laid down suppressing fire as Arya advanced, vau

    As they prepared to leave, dissatisfied with the outcome, Arya noticed Andy’s body was badly battered and bruised. One of his fingers was missing, suggesting he had been tortured. But why? Why would they torture someone on their side? Unless… “They wanted something from him,” Arya muttered to herself, scanning his injuries. “Something they didn’t have.” Her eyes fell on the brutal gash on his head. It was deep and jagged, a wound inflicted with rage. Whoever killed him must have done it in an act of passion. Perhaps they hadn’t intended to kill him but, after all the torture, his body couldn’t take it anymore. Arya sighed, the weight of realization settling on her. If Andy had been killed by accident, it meant they never got what they were after. “Rob, we need to search his body,” Arya said. “There might be something they missed.” “Whoever tortured him would have searched him already,” Rob replied. “Except…” He trailed off and began removing Andy’s clothes.

    The convoy arrived at the docks within minutes, the tension palpable in the air. The area was cloaked in eerie silence, save for the occasional raucous laughter of men huddled near a ship. Their beer bottles clinked as they exchanged crude jokes, lines of cocaine spread across the table between them. Cigarettes dangled from their lips, smoke curling into the night sky.Leonardo stepped out of the car, his eyes scanning the scene with cold precision. Rob flanked him, his hand hovering near his gun. “Should we go in now?” Rob asked, his voice low but steady.Leonardo nodded sharply, motioning for the others to fan out. From the car behind him, Arya emerged, her silhouette a lethal combination of grace and danger. Guns hung from her shoulders, nestled in her belt holsters, and rested in both hands. Her gaze met Leonardo’s for a fleeting second, and despite the danger ahead, the sight of her sent a surge of desire through him. She was magnetic, untouchable, and utterly lethal.Focus. Ther
