"My name is Vincenzo Luciano,"
Luciano??!! T..that Luciano??!! He was actually the world's….
Wade felt goosebumps crawling up his skin. Vincenzo Luciano, the world's most powerful and wanted criminal, the enigmatic Mafia King, the one who has many gangs working under him, the one whom the FBI and Interpol don't dare to touch, that Vincenzo Luciano?
Double shit! Wade only knew one thing at this moment. He was screwed!
In his head, Wade was cursing himself for being stupid and clumsy. How could he not know that was Vincenzo Luciano?!
This Luciano guy was the one the previous police chief and FBI had been trying to catch. So this was the big criminal that everyone failed to catch? If he could catch him and put him behind bars, then at least half the world would be rid of crime.
The man laughed, amusement in his dark eyes.
"Officer, you have fallen into my trap. Whatcha gonna do?" Vincenzo continue to let his fingers trailed down Wade's back.
Wade shivered, his stomach squeezing on itself.
Even though Wade was wearing clothes, he somehow felt naked beneath the man's intense gaze. Maybe it was because of the way he touched him, Wade could feel his fingertips clearly as if he wanted to mark his name onto his skin.
"Hahaha," Wade broke into a laughter, stunning the man for a second there.
"What I'm going to do? You will never expect it!" As Wade said that, he spun around and used his foot to kick and attack the man's shin.
Even though he was cuffed from behind, Wade had learnt martial arts so he knew how to fight without using his hands.
He lifted his leg high and landed a kick on the man's stomach, creating distance between them. Wade managed to land a kick on one glass that was sitting on the countertop, causing the glass to fly through the air and struck Vincenzo across the jaw.
The man's eyes seemed to radiate with a strange glint. He slowly touched the spot where he was hit just now.
He wiped the blood off the corner of his lips. Then he glanced nonchalantly at his fingertips and licked his own blood off!
"Not bad," Vincenzo grinned, his teeth showing like a predator.
"You're not bad either. It was meant to give your head a good beating," Wade smirked. For a moment there, he was almost mesmerized by Vincenzo's dark eyes and the way he licked his fingertips.
Luckily, Wade had learnt how to pick locks. Very quickly he picked the lock and show the opened handcuffs to Vincenzo, shaking them mockingly in the air.
"Ta-daa! You got to try harder. Now it's my turn!" Wade flung the handcuffs at Vincenzo, and used the momentum to launch an attack on him.
Although Vincenzo seemed caught off guard, he could recover very quickly and dodged every one of his punches.
Wade missed and accidentally punched the bottles behind Vincenzo's head, narrowly missing his face.
The sharp glass tore his skin, blood dripping from the fresh wound.
"Fuck!" Wade cursed, hissing in pain. Shit, Vincenzo was a real pain in the ass. That wasn't cool, at all! He wanted to show off his cool side and looked where it got him.
"You got to do better than fuck," Vincenzo smiled as he taunted him.
"What the fuck?" Wade cursed again. The word Vincenzo just said sounded obscene that Wade couldn't help but feel annoyed.
This Mafia was getting under his skin. Wade bet that was his plan. Hence he quickly shifted to a cool expression so the bastard will have nothing to taunt him about.
Wade continued to attack and kick Vincenzo, unleashing one blow after another, using the martial arts he had learnt from his teacher.
Amidst the fight, Vincenzo somehow managed to dodge and parry his blows and caught hold of his two hands. Then he pushed Wade against the counter, sweeping the few glasses and wine bottles off, causing Wade to arch his back unconsciously.
Vincenzo pressed him against the counter, his muscled chest pressed flushed against Wade's.
Wade could feel his body heat seeping into his clothes, as if Vincenzo wanted to spread it to him on purpose.
His hands were still locked in Vincenzo's iron grip.
Wade struggled, breathing heavily, "Y-you!" His face was red with anger. This man was humiliating him on purpose!
"I expected you to be capable. Turns out you're...." Vincenzo's gaze roamed Wade's face.
Wade felt that gaze extremely uncomfortable, as if it was burning through his clothes, grazing his bare skin.
"Fuck off, Vincenzo!" He growled and tried to kick Vincenzo's legs.
"Finally you called me by my first name. I like it," Vincenzo's voice was low and husky, it gave Wade an unsettling feeling that he wanted to hate but couldn't. Man, why was he thinking that his voice was sexy?
Wade thought that Vincenzo had nothing better to do than talk shit and crap to him.
"Bastard," Wade growled.
"You will come back," His thin pink lips curved into a chilling smile.
Wade scoffed.. Why would he come back? This man seemed ridiculous arrogant and disrespectful. Nevertheless he knew he couldn't let his guard down. There was a reason why the FBI and CIA couldn't find or catch him and Wade wasn't going to go there.
After all, he was only given three days to find Edward Mattson. If not, his father's business will be at stake. It was also a once in a lifetime chance to prove himself to his father.
Suddenly, shots rang out in the nightclub, a bloodcurdling scream was heard, the sound of bottles being shot and smashed echoed.
Vincenzo frowned, looking confused for a second.
"Oh, we got company," he smiled wickedly at Wade, dark eyes glinting.
Wade took the opportunity to push Vincenzo off him, straightening himself to a fighting stance. Vincenzo smothered his suit, fixed his cuffs and straightened his tie as if he was a gentleman.
Then, the next moment, the lights went out.
The whole place was plunged into darkness. Wade could still hear the panicky cries of the bar goers, chaotic footsteps and what seemed like people knocking over furniture. What was more important was that he couldn't hear him. He couldn't hear Vincenzo Luciano. His eyes slowly adjusted to the dark, squinting as he tried to detect Vincenzo. However in the next second just as he detected him, Wade's mouth was covered by a large hand and he was pulled into the darkness, until his back hit the wall. Wade gasped. He pulled the hand away from his mouth and scolded, "Hey! Luciano, no games here! If you want to fight, let's do it fair and square. Attacking me in the dark, what kind of gentleman are you?"By now, Wade's eyes have fully adjusted to the dark. He saw Vincenzo Luciano standing in front of him. Wade was cautious, on high alert. What was Vincenzo up to and who was the one shooting in the bar? "Fair and square? You lot aren't what you preach. Hypocrite," Vincenzo said in a low vo
"So you liked to be cuffed," Vincenzo smirked. Why did that sound so weird and something like those seen in BDSM practices? Wade wanted to punch that smirk off his face. "You have weird ideas. Behind you!" Wade snatched up a bottle and flung it at an assassin who was creeping up behind Vincenzo. "You saved me. I didn't expect that," Vincenzo gave the knocked out assassin a casual glance as if it wasn't a threat at all. "No, you did it on purpose. You probably want me to save your ass so that you'll claim I'm your accomplice and send me to jail, won't it?" "You think too lowly of me," Wade didn't enjoy how their conversation always ended up going in circles. What a smarty pants, Wade snorted inwardly. "Then why don't you kill me, put an end to me? I've seen you and I'm not going to let criminals go scot-free in front of my eyes," Wade said."Killing you is too easy. I rather....," Vincenzo walked towards Wade. This time Wade didn't retreat. He stood his ground and glared straig
"Sure," Wade smiled, brushing aside his hair. The wind blew around them, parting Vincenzo's hair to one side that it fell over his face in a messy style. The look he had, however, made Wade felt like he couldn't take his eyes off the man standing before him. Wade had a sudden urge to reach out and brush the hair off Vincenzo's forehead.But Wade resisted that stupid impulsive urge and turned to leave, forcing his eyes to look away from that bastard."In jail," Wade added and strode off, disappearing into the dark. He watched as the police officer disappeared from sight, admiring his figure. He wasn't mistaken. It was him. After Wade left, Vincenzo wiped the corner of his lips and looked down at his fingers. There was some blood but he didn't mind. He chuckled to himself. That police chief was the most interesting one he had ever met. The next morning, Wade woke up from his short sleep and checked his phone. Mark had sent him some text messages about the case. He had gotten all the
Wade went to the café downtown to get a cup of coffee to energize his brain. His father called again this morning and all that ever talked about was Henry's scoldings and how incompetent of a police chief he was. "The usual, please," Wade said to the waitress who nodded and gave him a pleasant smile.The bell hung above the door rang and an overbearing presence walked in. The waitress stood staring at the newcomer for ten seconds, mouth hung open before she quickly rushed into the kitchen, her face red. Wade, a little curious as to the waitress's reactions, turned and casually glanced at the newcomer. His eyes widened upon seeing the man from last night.Luciano. Their gazes met, with Wade feeling slightly uneasy. Scorching, burning, seering intense gaze as if Luciano wanted to uncover him and strip him naked."Having a good time, officer?" Vincenzo walked over to where he sat and took a seat right beside him. "Just a little peaceful before you showed your face here," Wade replied
Wade quickly pulled his hand away from him and sipped his coffee, no longer sparing Luciano a glance. Damnit! What is wrong with me?! Why did I... I almost do such a thing?! Wade scolded himself. What the fuck was he thinking when he looked into Vincenzo's eyes just now? Hell no, Vincenzo will be the last one on earth he'll ever think of bedding. How could he feel that way towards him? He was a man for god's sake! While Wade was battling with his mind, Vincenzo sneaked a glance at him, amusement in his eyes. "You still haven't answered my question," Vincenzo said. Wade took a deep breath and exhaled. "Why are you interested in my answer? I just want to bring justice to his family since they pleaded to me," "Justice..." Vincenzo scoffed at the word. "Do you really believe in justice?""Of course! One day, Luciano, I'm going to burst your ass and kick it to jail," Wade said. "Then I'll be waiting for you to burst my ass, Wade," Vincenzo tilted his head to one side, his neck and
Wade checked his watch. 12 pm. Exactly midnight. He scanned his surroundings, squinting in the dark before he heard footsteps behind him. Wade turned around.A dark figure walked out from the shadow, approaching him. The night was dark but from the lights from the nearby buildings, Wade could make out the shape of the person in front of him. Male, taller than him, and stronger too. There was something about this person that Wade couldn't quite put it. He had a feeling in his gut that something wasn't right."Hey, what's up for dinner?" Wade said the code word, one hand tucked in his trousers pocket casually. "Cheese and hamburger," the contact replied in a gruff voice. "Alright. You sure are full on that one, huh?"The man nodded."You got what I wanted? Hand it over," Wade suppressed a down frown and pressed a button on a small device that was in his pocket before he pulled his hand out, acting cool.There was a slight hesitation from the contact. He then took out a small thumb dr
A knife danced between his fingers as Vincenzo played with it casually, casting a bored glance at his desk. Honestly his sister was a pain in the ass. All she wanted was his attention because some guy she was chasing was afraid of her. Who wouldn't? They were all part of the infamous Luciano family, a crime family that kills and do dangerous things for a living, the family behind one of the largest gangs in the world. The guy was just some hot dude she met at one of their family owned clubs. He saw the guy's picture and wondered how she found him attractive. Nothing about the guy seems attractive to him, apart from the fact that he had a beautiful muscular body and greyish blue eyes. He had to listen to her whining and complaining before Alvin called for an emergency.Nothing of the guy she was crushing on could compare to him. It has been only 24 hours yet he couldn't get that face out of his head. That police officer's face kept appearing in front of him whether he shut his eyes o
Wade didn't know how long he had been asleep, he blinked and his eyes opened. He was in a room, his thigh was bandaged. A faint red patch could be seen underneath the white bandages. Sunlight poured into the room from the windows, illuminating his surroundings.The room he was in seemed like a house or a VVIP hospital ward. He sprang up from his bed and looked left and right. You're up," a low deadpan voice said next to his ear."Ahh! Shit! You scared me! Y-you!" Wade had a hand over his chest dramatically as he looked in surprise at the man.Vincenzo was seated by his bedside, with what seemed like a half smile half smirk on his face. He chuckled."Breakfast is over there. Wash up carefully and eat," Vincenzo said and stood up. His suit was crumpled more than usual and his sexy reddish brown hair was slightly out of place. In one word, he looked tired as if he didn't sleep for the night.Wade observed his surroundings, noticing no guns or dangerous weapons and no prison bars. He mus
"That's a good question," Vincenzo smiled at him. "You're gonna regret this," Wade smiled back at him, the corners of his lips curved."Then let's play a game instead of accompanying me. If you can win, you can go. But if you lose, you'll have to stay. Sounds fair?" Wade was still furious over the kiss and groping during breakfast. So this time he was determine to be winner and get the fuck out of this fucked up place. He couldn't wait to rub his victory in Vincenzo's shitty face. "Fine," he agreed. "What type of game? Truth or dare? Snooker? Race? Who pulls the gun and shoots the other dead first?""Those games are too lame," Vincenzo said."How about this? I'll set the rules," Wade suggested slyly. If he lets Vincenzo set it, he knew that Vincenzo would make things hard and play tricks. This time, he will make sure he has the upper hand. "So what do you say? Sounds fair?" Wade's lips spreaded into a smile."Fair enough," Vincenzo resist the urge to kiss that fucking dimple off h
What was going on? Vincenzo wasn't here yet he kept thinking about him, especially the way he touched him earlier."Fuck, fuck, fuck!" Wade cursed and puffed out angry air. He wanted to punch himself to get the ridiculous thought out of his head. "Are you okay?" Alvin glanced at him questioningly. The man seated in front of him him was acting strange and muttering some words to himself. "What? No, yeah, I'm fine," Wade shook it off with a smile. "Uh, so, um.. back to the question. What's your relationship with Edward Mattson? Why were the two of you in contact? You do know who he is, right?" "The billionaire businessman who deals with technology and weapons," To be honest, Alvin didn't know if he should be saying this or not, but Vincenzo didn't tell him to lie. So he answered as honestly as he could. When it comes to weapons and businessman being spotted with a top Mafia member, Wade could guess how Edward Mattson got his extra pocket money from. "I've seen him that night. He ap
Wade tried to fight the feelings, the way his stomach tightened, the desire coursing through his veins as Vincenzo made love to his neck, shoulder and collarbone, but it didn't help as Wade found himself shaking with desire, desire to be touched by him. His teeth grazed lightly over his skin, leaving a dull pain but a sweet sensation. Vincenzo never knew that he would enjoy Wade's neck tremendously to this point. "Oh, Wade. Don't you know how sweet you are?" Vincenzo whispered huskily in his ears. Wade shivered, out of breath to protest. He squeezed his eyes shut. Fuck, why was he feeling this strange thing with Vincenzo? He shouldn't be enjoying it, yet his body was betraying him, replying to Vincenzo's moves. His hand slipped underneath Wade's shirt where he found his nipples. Wade's eyes widened. "No, Vincenzo, wait! What are you trying to do-" A moan tore from Wade's lips, an unwanted one. Vincenzo smirked darkly, his fingers rolling and squeezing Wade's pink nipple. "You l
"Hmm... You eat like a king. Won't you get fat? No offence. I'm just saying," Wade picked up his fork and knife, and immediately went to work on the bacon and eggs. "Do I need to take off my shirt to prove my body to you?" Vincenzo replied. Take off his shirt? Wade looked at Vincenzo and knew that he must be muscular all over. The bastard's hands were slightly larger than his, his neck was very thick, no doubt were those muscles and he was taller than him. "Really? Would you take off your shirt now? That would make me lose appetite and you might end up wasting the meal," Wade joked. The maid's eyes widened but she didn't say a thing. If that wasn't flirting, then she don't know what it was. "Soon, I'll make you lose your appetite for three meals a day," Vincenzo smiled. Wade didn't know what that meant but it didn't sound like anything good. "Maya, leave us," Vincenzo said to the maid."Yes, boss," Maya said politely and left, wondering what the boss was going to talk about wit
