A Shocking Revelation (2)

Alicia's POV‘He knows my name.’ My breath hitched.There was an undercurrent of an order in those softly spoken words, and I felt my heart beat faster. I took steps, one after the other, towards him. My gut instincts screamed at me to run as fast as I could from here, but I knew it would be a foolish endeavor. My eyes were fixed on him. The man before me reminded me of a viper, only waiting for the time to strike. My senses couldn't lie. There was no doubt about it.He was a predator. DANGEROUS. And unlike the people I had encountered last night I didn't feel SAFE.By the time I reached the table where the small, half-eaten feast was displayed, my body was trembling. The man raised his head and dropped the fork and knife gently on the plate.He looked up, and my inside turned. His green eyes were cold and piercing, as though he could read my mind. His eyes looked familiar and NOT at the same time.'Had I met him before?’ I shook my head mentally at the thought. His face wasn't one t

Alicia's POVI stiffened instantly.My… what?Blood rushed through my ears and I could barely consider the words for a second. With the situation I was in, it took a while before it fully sank in.My father?This man… this…Senator Duncan, was my father?“That’s impossible,” the words immediately left my lips before I could think about them. My mind was racing, all of it filled with denial.I had no father. I never did. I'd stopped wondering about him years ago when as far as I was concerned, he was either a rich bastard in the slums or a deadbeat. The old man in the picture looked like neither.‘Looks can be deceiving’ a thought popped up, but I denied it.This had to be a mistake. I didn't even know who the hell the man in front of me was. Why should I trust him?Rather than speaking, the man in front of me chuckled. The sound made me sink further into the chair.What was so funny? What was the joke? Was I the joke? “It doesn't matter what you think, fiorellino. You're the daughter o

Alicia's POV“Osi provare a farlo, bastardo-” Mikael began to speak when Acker cut him off by lifting his hand. “Cross, release her at once. She isn't meant to play a part in your games,” he said, his smooth British voice ringing across the room, “Do that, and you will have no trouble with us.” “As if I would fucking believe that.” Cross snorted, “She’s a gold mine. If I let her go now, she’ll just become your pawn. Like hell that I'll let that happen.”“Ti sventrerò come un pesce,” Mikael growled, sounding frustrated even though i couldn't understand. “E la ucciderò,” Cross responded just as quickly. “Is that all?”I heard— felt the click of the safety lock of the gun go off. I couldn't help but sniffle like a baby. Tears rolled down further. It fully sank in. I was going to die.Why? I hadn't done anything wrong in my life!The dark realization that even with my desire for a calm, peaceful life, I had still gotten pulled into something terrible made me feel a hopelessness that ma

Breakdown

Acker's POVMy jaw tightened as I glanced at the girl out of the corner of my eye. Alicia Stevens.The woman I had taken to bed that night after I had come to the country to check on my investments. The woman who had run for the hill as soon as she woke up.“I'm sorry. Thank you for last night. Goodbye.”Her words the morning after had been stuck in my head after that day. In the club, when my business was over and I should have left, I had been watching her from a distance. The clothes she wore weren't out of place yet she carried herself differently, not a regular nor one seeking cheap thrills. I was…intrigued to say the least. Approaching her was by pure instinct, yet I still thought nothing of it. A simple conversation, a bit of flirtation and an extra drink wouldn't change a thing.And yet…and YET.It didn't take long to find out why she didn't belong. Her friend had forced her here and ditched her the instant something shiny came along. She had spilled it out alongside other emb

Breakdown (2)

Acker's POV I smirked upon reading it, filled with satisfaction. Regardless of the trouble with working with Mikael, it seemed things were turning out in my favor. It took less than five more minutes to reach the apartment I had purchased with help from Javier.The car stopped and Alicia was looking out the window in wonder as I exited the car and went round to open the door for her to come out. I reached my hand out to her and she gazed at it, like it was a snake that would strike her. Seconds passed before I took my hand back, although it displeased me to have her reject me.‘Patience, Acker.’ I told myself. She had been through more than enough in days than a normal person had faced in their lifetime. It wasn’t fair to expect her to react differently. “Where am I?” she finally spoke, her voice hoarse yet panicked as I had expected,“I don’t know this place. This isn't my home.”“It is now.” Mikael’s voice rang behind me. I didn’t react when I noticed his approach. His platinum bl

Furious

Alicia’s POV‘Get it together, Alicia.’I tried to listen to the chiding head in my voice that reminded me of Daya, who probably had no idea where I was. She had many faults, but her strength and courage would have helped in a time like this. If he was here, would he be just as scared or would she be taking the reins? Would she even comfort me at a time like this?Probably not, but one could only imagine.It was impossible to listen to those words though. I was only faintly aware of the blood rushing through my ears and the fact that I was hyperventilating.Oh right, I couldn't forget. I was now trapped in an unfamiliar apartment.Everything had happened so fast. I had just seen and been through a lot of things that I never expected to have been through and there was still more to come.Tears spilled from me uncontrollably. I clenched my hands into fists, trying to find something, anything to ground myself.Why did this have to happen to me?I kept my head down. I stayed quiet, invisib

Furious (2)

Alicia’s POVHis voice was just as commanding as Acker’s and I was upset that I didn’t hate it so much.Very well. I was left with no choice.I parted my lips. Mikael’s hands were steady as I drank from the cup, taking gulps of the refreshingly cool water. My chest wasn’t so tight anymore, and the room was not as suffocating to be in. Without me knowing, the tension that came with both their presence had eased.I finished the water, licking my lips absently. Maybe I had stayed in that place for too long, because it didn't feel enough. Would it be greedy of me if I asked them for another glass?“Good,” Mikael’s voice was a low pleased purr as he took a step back and passed the empty glass to a man behind him before barking out something like an order in Italian. Suddenly Mikael and Acker were the only other men in the living room, the place cleared out faster than I thought possible.‘Italian. How damned exotic he sounded.’ I swallowed and shifted my gaze down to my lap.I made up my m

Surprise Meeting

Alicia’s POVA brief silence washed over the entire room, so deafening that I could hear myself breathe. It looked like they were both ruminating, ready to speak, yet not finding the woods. Then, there suddenly came the distinct sound of a vibrating phone.Acker immediately tensed and brought out his phone from his pocket, glancing at me briefly before he answered the incoming call.“Javier,” his tone was terse. The voice on the other end was indistinct, but whatever was said turned Acker’s expression from stoic to pleased. “Good.” He nodded, “We were expecting him. Let him through.”My brows furrowed as he exchanged a wordless glance with Mikael. The two men seemed to be having a conversation without having to say anything, and Mikael’s expression also morphed into the same satisfaction, his lips lifted slightly.It was like everything I'd said before didn't exist.I looked away. What on earth were they so pleased about? This couldn’t be anything good, could it?“Well look at the tim

Surprise Meeting (2)

Alicia’s POVI hadn't intended to break, but his voice even in broken sobs was full of love, more than I had ever experienced in my life before. I couldn’t help the tears spilling down my cheeks.“Dad.” I said the unfamiliar words for the first time and they felt right. Sniffing, I wrapped my arms around him. His woodsy cologne’s scent was calming, and I breathed it in.Overwhelming emotions clashed in my heart. Longing. The ache of a deep seated hole in my heart I ignore for so long that I could pretend it didn't exist. But most of all, a tentative but undeniable happiness. There still was confusion and there were a hundred questions I needed answered. At this moment though, I didn't care for any of it. I just wanted to rest in his arms and savor this feeling.A dream I had stopped wishing for had come to pass, at least just this once.When we released each other I saw his eyes were glossy, filled with unshed tears.“I looked for your mother for so many months after we parted,” he mu

Fiery

Mikael’s POVI sighed out loud as the sound of another loud jeep driving past made my head hurt slightly. But soon my mood shifted as I remembered the second presence beside me. Calling the tension between Acker Madden and I awkward was an understatement to say the fucking least.I grunted out loud, my fingers flexing as I debated the chances of me getting a smoke right then. It had been a while, and smoking helped relieve my stress many times before.It was only going to be for a second…My fingers inched towards the cigars in my right inner pocket. Maybe a smoke would get rid of the damn stiffness I felt.“Don’t even think about it, Serrano,” Acker Madden, the famed fucking ‘Madman’ warned in his posh fucking accent. He seemed not to care about my mood, or what I thought of him. ‘Pity,’ I thought with a glare aimed at his side. He was also the only thing standing in my way.“It was just a thought,” I replied, keeping my tone light and innocent. Not that it would help. The damn basta
