They drove into Ricardo’s penthouse and rung for the nurse. The Spanish Don had gotten hit by a bullet in his arm. It was a graze, but deep enough for him to loose a significant amount of blood.

The nurse, a middle age woman, entered the room and proceeded to treat his wound.

Leonardo took that time to call Rob and gave him directions to come to the penthouse with a handful of soldiers. Ricardo had said the penthouse was completely safe as no one knew he owned it and he got it under a different name but he couldn’t be too sure. Especially with Arya on her way to him.

He check her location and sighed in relief when he saw she was very close. The fact that she was driving herself was making him crazy but it was the only way for her to sneak out discreetly.

He went back to the living room and saw Ricardo’s wound was already bandaged and he was no longer wearing his shirt.

“Is it anything to be worried about?”, Ricardo asked the nurse.

    “What the fuck do you mean?”, Ricardo asked. “We both know the guy we are after works for your father. Was it him who sent Maria after us?”, Rob asked. “Oh, hell no! I hate that man more than I love myself. I would never help him. I know he has plans set in motion to kill me”, Ricardo replied. “So it’s a coincidence that the guy we’re after works for your father?”, Leonardo asked. “I don’t even know who this guy is. What do you know about him? Maybe I can help”, Ricardo said. “You already helped by snitching on your father. But it also means you can’t be trusted”, Leonardo said. “Whatever the price is for killing my father, I’ll do it. I’ll do whatever it takes to convince you I’m on your side”, Ricardo said, running his good hand through his hair. “Wait, what do you mean your father has set plans in motions to kill you?”, Arya asked. “Exactly how it sounds. His plans involve killing me. I only found out some weeks back. If things go exactly how he planned, I should

    Arya arrived at the convent, her car gliding silently into a shadowed corner. As the vehicle came to a stop, her decoy and entourage approached in a coordinated movement. With practiced efficiency, they swiftly exchanged places, switching cars with an air of quiet urgency. Within moments, Arya was discreetly ushered into the building, the switch seamless and undetected. She walked to Gloria’s room to see her peacefully asleep so she decided to find Mother Superior and speak to her. As she walked to the office, she heard muffled sounds. There was no one in sight so wondered where was the sound coming from. She looked at her watch to see it was currently 9pm. “Fuck! I lost track of time. I guess it’s too late to meet up now”, she said and turned around to go to her room. “Order!”, she heard a fierce feminine voice shout, even though it was still muffled. She leaned into the wall to hear more. If only they could just shout again, one more time. “The Order -“, the voice start

    Arya decided to play it cool but it was nerve wracking. She had suspected that one of her spare keys had gone missing a few days ago but she shrugged it off. She initially had three keys but she could only find two. And now, she found out someone planted a camera in her room. It was not the reason behind it that worried her, it was figuring out who did it. They had so many enemies and frenemies, it was hard to keep up. She was thankful she found out about it before taking her clothes off last night. The watcher would have had a tape to blackmail her. What could the watcher want? She could barely sleep all night with the thought of some stranger watching her in her bed. She had texted Leonardo immediately she found she he told her to leave it be. If she removed it, the suspect could try to do something worse and they had to figure out who it was first. As soon as the sun came up, she freshened up in the bathroom and left her room to look for the Mother superior. Getting t

    “Who are you?”, she asked. “Just keep quiet and come with me. If you even think about screaming I’ll blow your head off”, he said and pointed a gun at her. Arya looked around but there was no one in sight. The man chuckled. “Don’t worry about getting help. All the sisters are in the hall for prayers. They can’t hear you from up here so move, slut. And put your hands up”, he said with a grin. She raised her hands and did as he instructed. “Yeah, that’s some nice ass. Trust me, the thought of what I’m going to do to you is keeping you alive for a while”, he laughed. Arya grimaced in disgust. “Who is your boss?”, she asked, moving down the stairs. “What do you need that information for? Don’t worry, he might have his turn with you too”, the sick bastard said. She had had just about enough. She caught his reflection from the glass window. His phone rang and he searched his pockets for it, taking his eyes off her. In a split second, she turned and kicked the gun out of

    Arya handed her phone over to Leonardo to look at the pictures of the documents. “What does The Order of the Seraphim stands for? And why was it on Isabel’s desk?”, she asked. “Whoever is behind this is far from ordinary,” Leonardo said. “Each page is written in a different style. The first few pages use Latin Cipher, the next are in Old Church Latin, the third in cryptic abbreviations, the fourth is in Reverse Script, and the fifth section employs a Simple Substitution Cipher.” The others in the room exchanged surprised glances, clearly impressed. “How did you decipher them?” Rob asked. “I had a lot of free time in my grandfather’s cell and a lot of books”, Leonardo said. Arya winced at the remembrance of his childhood. “Can you translate this?”, Arya asked. “I can try but it will take a long time to do that. I’ll involve my tech team, they would help fasten the process”, he responded. “I’ll send the copies over”, Rob said and walked away to concentrate on his work.

    Lima walked into his office, disregarding the secretary. “I’ll call security, ma’m. You can’t go in just like that”, the secretary ran after her. She could not give two shits. He was apparently in a meeting with two men she couldn’t recognize. They didn’t look like distinguished men so she went ahead with her plan. Not like she cared about their status anyways. “Lima, what are you doing here?”, he asked. “You’re so stupid for asking me that, Manuel. How dare you lay your filthy hands on Pablo? If you have an issue with me then say it to my face, fight me. Don’t involve my family”, she shouted. Manuel excused the men from the room. “Lima, how dare you barge into my office and wrongly accuse me?”, he asked as soon as the men left his office. “Just don’t get surprised when I strike back, Manuel. You’re the only person I have an issue with, stop screwing with my family. I might just come back for yours”, she said. Manuel laughed. “I don’t even care ab

    The drug dealer’s house was tucked away in the farthest corner of a shadowy alley, a grimy and forgotten part of the city where the faint glow of streetlights barely reached. The building itself was a crumbling, decrepit structure, its once-white walls now stained with years of neglect and graffiti. The windows were dark, except for the flickering blue light of a television casting an eerie glow through the thin curtains. Arya stood just outside the door, her heart pounding in her chest, though her expression remained calm, almost disinterested. She was skimpily dressed, her tight dress clinging to her curves, leaving little to the imagination. The outfit was designed to catch the eye, to make her seem like just another woman looking for a quick score or a rough night. But underneath the flimsy exterior, Arya’s mind was sharp, her senses heightened as she waited for her moment. She leaned casually against the wall, her stiletto heels clicking softly against the cracked pavemen

    “What could be the connection here?”, Ricardo asked. “The convent must be in on it. What if it’s this Order of the Seraphim? What if it’s like a secret society?”, Arya responded with more questions. “Isabel does have a vibe. It could be the whole town council is involved and so is their jurisdiction. But someone has to be pulling all the strings”, Leonardo said. “Manuel?”, Rob asked, joining them. “The priest?”, Arya asked. “Isabel?”, Ricardo asked. They turned to see the guy who Rob was beating up already unconscious. Arya gave him a hard stare but Leonardo and Ricardo were indifferent. “What? He asked for it”, he said with a shrug. “Now how do we question him?”, Arya asked. “We always figure something out”, Leonardo said. “And if he dies?”, she asked. “He won’t die”, Rob said. Arya gave him another hard stare. “We should leave now. We’ll take him and the tape with us”, Leonardo said, taking Arya’s hand and leading her outside. * * * * * * * * * * *

    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
