Cassius Mancini may appear calm while he was drinking wine in his office, but his mind was filled with bloody thoughts. Mauro was standing on the far side of the office, observing Mancini’s reaction. He knew his boss was up to something bloody. “Do you have enough information about this Dominico Galvante?” he asked. He swirled the amber-colored wine in his glass. His face was void of any emotion. Mauro swallowed hard. He had done his homework about the man, but he knew it was not enough. “He’s a native from Argentina, boss. I dug deeper about his life but there’s no information on the internet.” Mauro wiped the sweat on his forehead. “What do you mean no information?” Cassius’ brow frowned. “There was no information about him. It was like he just popped into this world, no background, even abou his childhood. The only thing the internet said about him was that he’ a businessman. Even the name of his business was not mentioned.” Cassius chugged all the contents of his glass and
Cassius was waiting for Enzo to arrive in his office inside his mansion. He gave all the crew a day’s rest. He doesn’t want anyone in his mansion for the tie being. He wanted to be alone. Enzo arrived on time that night. He was a talented hacker and he specializes in digging up information that are supposed to remain buried. “Wow, this place never changed. It’s still as magnificent as before.” He commented. A few years ago, he worked for the Mancini family in digging up persons that were hiding. He entered the room without so much fear. Despite Mancini’ reputation, Enzo never feared the man. In fact, he never feared anyone. “Enzo.” Mancini called him. Enzo cleared his throat as he sat in front of Cassius. A huge smile plastered on his face. “I heard you needed me again.” Enzo is one good hacker and his service comes with a huge price. “I want you to dig some information.” Cassius started. He placed his hand on the table, the two claps. He eyed Enzo with seriousnes. “Do we hav
Addison was going on with her day. It was a no so busy day and it seemed peaceful. After the news about Mancini being burned alive, it seemed like everything went back to normal. But as wat Federico told them, they should not put their guard down. She and Ryzen were in the grocery store to buy all the necessary things they needed. “Will you give me a hand on this?” She rolled her eyes as she came to the parking space. Ryzen was in the driver seat listening to his own type of music. “Oh, right! I’m sorry, Ads. I didn’t know you’re here already.” He gave her a huge grin. “Did you buy some chips? I really those when working on some stuff.” “Yes, your highness. We need to go back now, it’s late and I need to cook dinner. Federico will be home today.” Ryzen helped Addie put the grocery bag at the back of the car. “Speaking of Federico. Did he ever mention to you what happened to him when he went inside Galvante’ house? He never said a thing to us after that.” Addison shook her he
Despite Federico’s insistence that Ryzen will go to the hospital to fix his broken arm, Ryzen was so hard-headed. He never listened to Federico and went straight to his car when he was about to leave. “Damn! Why are so fucking hard headed?” Federico slammed the door of the driver’s side. Ryzen winced in pain, but there was a triumphant grin plastered on his face. “I can’t miss this opportunity to see Simon again. Besides, Addison needs all of us. I can’t just wait in the hospital like a useless shit.” He leaned on the passenger’s seat and closed his eyes. Federico shook his head but there was a smile on his face. He started the engine and took off. “So, we’re going to Simon now? I can’t believe Addison was abducted right before my eyes.” Ryzen’s voice was laced with regret. “I should have tried harder. Damn!” he cursed through his breath. “It’s not your fault, Ryzen. It’s not your fault that that person was way bigger than you are.” Federico sped up on the highway. The night
Addison woke up in a dark and cold room. Her vision was still blurred, and she has no idea how many hours she lost consciousness. Ye, she knew what happened to her. She was kidnapped from the parking lot. She remembered how Ryzen tried to fight that huge man who took her. “Shit! What the hell?” She groaned in annoyance when she felt a sticky liquid on her hands and feet. “So disgusting!” She exclaimed when she smelled the foul odor. Addison roamed her eyes around the dimly lit room. “Where the hell am I?” The man who abducted her was nowhere to be seen now. “Hello? Is someone here?” She called out.No one answered her. Addie let out a sigh and stood up. Her jeans were wet. She smells awful and is in a very compromising situation. She had no idea who took her but she’s almost certain that this has something to do with the underworld. Though she has no direct participation in it, those people can be very resourceful .“Hey! Get me out of here!” she tried to shout again, but to n
Simon smiled as his gaze stared at the velvet box in his hands. He can’t wait to give this to his beloved wife. He wanted to please her, and as much as possible he wanted her to be proud of him. It was their wedding anniversary today and he wanted to surprise her with his present. It may not be expensive like those she had in her jewelry box, but this one came from his heart. He looked at the clock mounted on the wall of their spacious apartment; this apartment was given by his wife’s grandmother as a gift for their wedding. He frowned when he saw that it was past five o’clock in the afternoon, and Ash should have been home by now. They agreed to celebrate their wedding anniversary with a simple candlelight dinner in a restaurant. She's late. Simon called Ash but she was not answering his calls. He dialed her number a few times again but still, no one answered. Simon bit his lower lip as his heart hammered inside his chest. He's worried! He waited for another minute, then
Simon drove back to their apartment as fast as he could. He was relieved that Ash was fine, and he was excited to give her his gift. It’s the least that he can do to make his wife happy. He wanted to give her everything, and he's making it happen step by step since he’s not yet that capable. Soon, Ash would be proud of him. He’s been a subject of insult from the Steele family, and he knew that Ash was embarrassed every time his financial standing would be brought up. But everything is about to change. He parked the car outside the premises of their luxurious apartment and volted to their unit. His steps were frantic and his heart rammed inside his chest. Upon opening the door, his eyes scanned their apartment, in search of his wife. His heart skipped a beat when their eyes locked. “Ash, I was so worried about you. You were not picking up my calls, I thought something had happened to you.” Simon wanted to hug Ash, but he chose not to. Simon found Ash seated on one of the expensive
Simon just stared at the retreating back of Ash. The moment that she was out of his sight, he went to the nearest chair and sat exhaustedly. He rubbed his face a few times, in the hopes to get his mind to think straight, but he was totally confused and distracted by their arguments. Did she really went on a date with Gregory Holt? He knew the man. He was one of the richest bachelors in the country. His reputation as a playboy exceeds him. He couldn’t understand why Ash would want someone like Gregory. He's trash. There are tons of scenarios floating in his mind. And he refused to be bothered by those. Does his wife love that man? Gregory Holt was a very capable man, in terms of money and power. Something that he doesn't have. Yet. “No, I won’t allow this.” He needs to talk to Ash to clear things out. He knew she didn't love her anymore. Or did she ever love him in the first place? What they had was just an arranged marriage, she was just forced to marry him because her gran
