Under The Mafia's Veil Chapter 13: The Mission
Alice blinked twice and flinched back, but the door blocked any further movement. She had to destroy all his vape pens if that was what it would take to snap him out of his insanity. Strip? The hell? How about a punch in the face!Alice gulped, her hands reaching carefully for the door handle. She was ready to bolt at any moment."You're insane," Alice blurted fearlessly, glaring at him."Bitch, tell me something I don’t already know," he smirked sinisterly before letting her go.He took five steps away from her. It was her boldness that drew him in. She was fearless—made him wonder what it would feel like to rip those wings off and make her fall back to earth.Alice watched him warily, and without a second thought, bolted out of the room. She wondered how far his insanity would go. Thankfully, she still had some money in her bank account, so she booked another room for herself. Alice entered the well-furnished room and collapsed onto the bed, exhausted. She grabbed her phone to check
Under The Mafia's Veil Chapter 1: The Chase
Inside a five-star hotel, more than ten police officers ran through the hallway, searching for a criminal. The chase left the hotel in disarray as onlookers watched the scene with anxiety. This wasn’t uncommon in Milan; officers would pop out of nowhere in an attempt to catch the legendary criminal who was always behind a mask. It had been seven years, but every attempt to catch her had been unsuccessful.Alice ran through different halls, taking various turns in the hotel. No doubt, the police were still behind her, but she had given them a significant lead. This wasn’t her first getaway, nor her tenth.Alice checked her backpack to ensure the bars of gold were still inside. There were three large bars, and she knew they would cost a fortune. She zipped the bag and adjusted it on her back properly.Her life would have been easier without Collin Marcello. From what she knew, he worked with the international crime agency and was obsessed with apprehending her. He made all her missions
Under The Mafia's Veil Chapter 2 What Looms In The Dark
Alice got out of the rickety car, gasping repeatedly. Her best friend, Chiara Niccolo, followed next—a pretty, blue-eyed damsel."You're lucky I was driving by when you called. You could have gotten caught, for fuck's sake," Chiara reprimanded.Alice had managed to change out of the black getup in the car; now she wore a simple blue gown and had her dark brown hair tied in a neat ponytail. The bag containing the gold was slung over one shoulder as she stared back at Chiara with her emerald green eyes."Lucky me. Thanks, though," Alice said, and Chiara smiled back at her. She got back into the car, and it took quite some time before she could get the engine running again. She drove off afterward.Alice sighed and turned to face the large building in front of her. It was heavily fenced, making it a 'no-go zone' for intruders—Vicenzo Empire. If the mafia world had a king, it would be the Don of Vicenzo. The Vicenzo mafia empire was first in terms of rank, wealth, and affluence.Alice wal
Under The Mafia's Veil Chapter 3: Second Encounter
Alice could hear the faint sound of footsteps approaching her. She struggled to open her eyes, feeling as if she were experiencing sleep paralysis. Her eyes flew open when she felt someone pour something cold on her.She scrunched her nose in disgust as she looked at the cold liquid that dripped down her body. She was tied to a chair and gulped fearfully at the thought of Collin finding her. It had to be him.She heard the sound of steady footsteps approaching but couldn’t see because her eyes were covered with blood. Her vision cleared, and her eyes widened when she saw Alfonso Ferdinando, the Consigliere of the Vicenzo empire, standing in front of her. Alfonso was the direct advisor to the Don, giving him a rank much higher than her father’s.She was shocked to see him. Why on earth had he had her kidnapped? She hadn't done anything wrong to him unless he was related to Collin, which seemed impossible.Alfonso easily intimidated everyone with his tall frame and cold nature. His word
Under The Mafia's Veil Chapter 4: Caught
Alice quickly tore her eyes away from his. Luckily, a cab stopped nearby. She hastily walked towards it and quickly got inside.Zade's eyebrows creased as he watched the strange guy get into the car. His friend, Francesco, came down next and pushed his platinum hair backward."What are you staring at?" Francesco asked Zade, who seemed to be lost in thought."Nothing," Zade said, and he walked into the large building with Francesco behind him.He had been immersed in finding the little thief who had double-crossed him, but it seemed she had vanished into thin air. That was fine, though; he would definitely find her. It was just a matter of time.The workers who passed him kept greeting him, but he never responded. He wore a cold and stoic expression on his face, his aura commanding respect from passersby.He arrived at the front of Enzo's office and entered unannounced, with Francesco behind him."Zade," Enzo called, surprised by his presence in his office."Grandfather," Zade replied
Under The Mafia's Veil Chapter 5: Dinner With The Boss
Alice's heart raced even more, and she clenched her fists tightly to snap herself out of her wild imaginations.Zade Vicenzo observed her with keen eyes after he had introduced himself, seemingly waiting for her response. "I am Simone Leonardo, Mr. Vicenzo's bodyguard," she introduced herself."I heard. If you need anything, let me know," Zade smiled warmly, causing a shiver to run down her spine.Alice would have fallen for his charm if she hadn’t encountered him at the hotel. She stared at him warily. Nevertheless, Alice nodded with a faint smile. "It seemed like you were in quite a hurry yesterday," Zade drawled, his intelligent gray eyes fixed on her brown eyes."Yesterday? Ah, yes, I was," Alice replied. Did he remember? Why was he so insistent on tormenting her?"I see." Zade nodded. "We'll be seeing more of each other lately. How about dinner sometime?" he asked.Alice felt a cold sweat trickle down her back and quickly shook her head. "I have a very busy schedule. I'm not s
Under The Mafia's Veil Chapter 6: The Escape
Zade kicked the door open and frowned at the sight he saw.. The bathroom was completely empty, with no hint of Simone anywhere. It was obviously impossible for him to have disappeared into thin air, so where did he go?Zade shoved his hands into his pockets as his eyes zeroed in on the faint droplet of blood on the floor, and a sinister smirk found its way to his pale lips.Alice walked as fast as her feet could carry her. Her stomach still hurt painfully, but she had to get out of the mansion somehow. Minutes ago, she had called Chiara and explained everything that was happening to her. Chiara, being one of the smartest hackers alive, easily hacked into the CCTV cameras in the mansion and discovered a back door she could use to escape.Alice had the faintest idea of what she would tell Enzo or Zade the next day, but she couldn't let them see her like this, or her cover would be blown. Chiara sent another text, explaining the routes to the back door. She was currently in a dark hallwa
Under The Mafia's Veil Chapter 7: Punishment
Chapter 7: Under the Mafia's VeilAlice's heart drummed loudly in her ears as she helplessly stared at Collin Marcello—the same man who was after her life and whom she was madly in love with.For a fleeting second, she wanted to run away, as she had always done whenever she saw him. He was the red light in her missions, and she had only encountered him when trying to make her escape. This was the first time she stood in front of him, not as a criminal but as a normal person.He cleared his throat, and she immediately snapped out of her trance. His brown locks were neatly pushed back, but two stubborn strands hovered over his face. Collin was handsome; it was a miracle she was able to tear her eyes away from him."Collin Marcello," he said in a friendly tone, extending his hand. Alice looked down at his outstretched hand, not noticing when he stepped closer to her.Alice composed herself, not wanting to architect her own doom. "Simone Leonardo," she said in her pretend male voice."I kn

Under The Mafia's Veil Chapter 12: The Order
Immediately the hot liquid made contact with her hand, Alice bit her lip hard to stifle the yelp that threatened to break free. "Shit!" she murmured, quickly closing the window blind to block her view of the evil man. Since the moment she met him, he had been responsible for all her misfortunes. She grabbed the balm from one of the compartments in her desk and gently applied it to her skin, bandaging her hand afterward. She collapsed into the plush chair as her hands worked skillfully on the laptop in front of her. Clara, Enzo's secretary, had sent her a pile of files to go through. She had to be at work by 4 AM the next morning to accompany Enzo to Singapore for an important deal. Alice sighed tiredly, thinking about the stress she had to endure day and night. On top of everything, she couldn’t get enough rest because of Zade. She had asked Chiara to help dig up more information about Zade, and now she was scouring the internet for anything about him. But his damn face was no
Under The Mafia's Veil Chapter 11: The Aftermath
Zade leaned on the railings of the balcony as he twirled the glass of Barolo in his hands. A grim look settled on his handsome face, and his gray eyes remained expressionless, almost lifeless.He had done something he had never done in his entire existence: he spared a life. Zade scoffed. He was the type to immediately get rid of whoever caused trouble; why his instincts led him to spare the little girl was still a mystery to him. He had known all along that she was a girl, but he had watched her lie and cover up everything for his own personal entertainment.Zade clicked his tongue as he remembered the night his grandfather invited Simone to his house for dinner. As soon as Simone got up to excuse himself, Zade's sharp eyes caught the faint stain of blood on the chair. He had ignored it, simply because he wasn't in the mood to do anything about it. Yet, after seeing the way she strangled one of his employees and then shot him, Zade knew too well what an important asset she would beco
Under The Mafia's Veil Chapter 10: A desperate bargain
Alice paused, feeling as if her blood had drained from her body. Slowly, she turned around, trembling at the sight of Zade standing right in front of her.She wanted desperately to run, but her feet felt glued to the floor. Her lips moved multiple times, yet no words came out. It made no sense; he had shot her, so why would he go on to treat her? She would have thought her eyes were playing tricks, but even after blinking repeatedly, the person in front of her refused to disappear."How... why... I…" Alice stuttered, unable to form a coherent sentence.The huge black gate closed automatically, and Alice felt as if she were being thrown into a horror movie when Zade began taking daunting steps toward her. Alice gulped and took a precautionary step back, but that didn’t stop him from closing the distance in an instant. Her back pressed against the gate, Zade standing just inches away, tall and imposing. She began to wonder if he was the same person she had shot earlier. He was so tall t
Under The Mafia's Veil Chapter 9: Veil Of Deceit
Alice's eyes widened in shock as she realized it wasn’t the blonde boy standing in front of her, but Zade. Before she could process the situation, the bullet rammed into his chest.She stood, completely gobsmacked, as blood poured from his wound, soaking his white long sleeves and turning them red. The anger that had clouded her mind cleared instantly as the weight of her actions sunk in like never before.No, it wasn't his wound that froze her nerves; it was the look on his face. He appeared completely unscathed, as if she hadn’t shot him seconds ago. A sinister smirk spread across his lips, and before Alice could regain her composure, Zade swiftly pulled out his own gun and shot her in the chest.Alice gasped sharply and fell to her knees, the pain erupting in her body faster than normal. Tears filled her eyes as she touched the spot where he shot her, and her vision blurred at the sight of her own blood pumping out. Her body felt numb, and she could only lie helplessly on the cold
Under The Mafia's Veil Chapter 8 The Reckoning
Alice clenched her fist tightly as she tried to think straight. She couldn’t possibly strip; she wasn't a man, and she was in a room full of them. Stripping would mean shedding her disguise along with her dignity, and 100 push-ups? Who was she kidding? Her bones would probably break before she reached 50. In summary, Enzo’s punishment was far worse than Zade’s. She had considered quitting and running as far away as possible from Alfonso or getting a new identity, but that idea collapsed when Enzo told her she couldn’t quit. She was now… a suspect.There was only one thing she could do. Alice cleared her throat and turned to face Enzo."I choose to take Zade's offer instead," Alice said in her manly voice. She bowed deeply and quickly headed toward the exit. She opened the door and stifled a gasp when she saw Zade standing right in front of her. She bowed slightly and quickly ran out, reaching her office and shutting the door with a loud bang."Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Alice ran her hands th
