Adrianna POV.It was a long drive and I knew better than to get bored on a long drive not only that but also the fact I was going on a so-called mission. I turned the music on so as to kill boredom.After a two hour drive, I arrived at the plot where they were located. I knew that I had to be careful not to alert anyone that I was in the area. I parked my car in the woods and far from where they were being held captive. I took my weapon back and started walking in the direction of the house. Shit!I forgot to wear my costume. I searched for it in the bag and luckily it was there. I hid behind a tree and wore it. After that, I proceeded on going where I was going. The house came into view and I used binoculars so that I could see how men were there. Twenty men outside and ten inside. I took my guns and daggers, tucking them on my costume. I then carried more with my hand. I left my hand somewhere no one would see it. On a tree top. I knew that I had no time, therefore, I ran towards t
Ace POV.Weeks have passed since the Charity ball. I have been tracking down Adrianna but that woman knows how to hide. I haven't even gotten gold from the information. I also don't know her surname. I am really impressed by her tactics. Dad, on the other hand, has been pushing me to the edge. He claims that he wants the girls on our side as soon as possible. I don't know why but there isn't much I can do other than to listen to them. Abigail and Mike moved from Mexico to here. Mike is planning on opening a restaurant so they will be here for a while, Mark on the other side, he lives here but the guy loves to travel so much. He doesn't care whether he has classes or not. If his head tells him to go to a certain country for a month, then he will go. I wonder how he manages to stay at the top. I guess that is the reason as to why mom and dad never mind what he is doing. He told them a long time ago that they should not expect him to inherit any family business, he wants to start from cr
Adrianna POV.My head was aching and my eyes were struggling to open. I tried to move my hands but unfortunately, they were tied to a chair. I was sitting in a dark room, I could barely see who or what was around me but I knew I wasn't alone. I could feel the presence of others and I could hear them breathing. I tried to free myself but it was useless. I wasn't tied in ropes. I had some sort of cable around my wrist as well as the arms of the chair. It was impossible for me to break free. The cable was probably made of steel and the chair was definitely not wooden."Why did you kidnap me?" I asked, hoping it was Ace."Maybe because I had promised that I would get to you?" He asked instead of answering."Cut the crap Vincenzo," I said angrily."It's done to you," he said and I rolled my eyes."I don't follow orders," I said."Are you willing to answer my questions?" He asked."Depends on what you will ask," I answered."What were you doing in the Russian mafia warehouse?" He asked."Oo
Ace POV.I took her to the basement when we arrived home. I had drugged her so that means that I have tomorrow hours before she wakes up. After tying her up, I walked back to the mansion. They were all shocked to see me. I guess they expected me not to be back very soon."What are you doing here?" Mom asked."Aren't you supposed to be on a mission?" Dad asked and I nodded my head."Yes, I am. We already went," I answered."But how fast?" Mark asked."When we got there, the hostages were nowhere to be seen," I said."Are you sure that you were given the right location?" Abigail asked."Yes, there were signs of hostages in the basement," I said."Then who informed them that you were going to rescue them?" Mom asked, seeming to be thinking. I knew for a fact that they think that we have a mole in our family."Adrianna is working for Elijah," I said after a few minutes of silence."What!" Abigail and Mark shouted."Son, are you sure about that?" Dad asked."I met her there. We know that w
Ace POV."Chip.""Chip.""Chip.""Chip," she said while looking at the window which was high enough so she couldn't reach for it. I followed her gaze and saw there was a little bird. As if it knew age was trying to communicate with her, it flew to her and landed on her shoulder. I shook my head while I saw what I was looking in front of me."Good my friend. At least I won't be lonely again with you beside me," she said as It landed on my shoulder. "Too bad, I suck at naming things but you are my little birdie," she said and I internally chuckled. Deciding to pay attention to what has brought me here in the first place, I stabbed her upper part of the thigh but she did not winder in pain or even look at me."Adrianna, I am asking you a question!" I whispered-yelled but still I received silence as the answer.Maybe if I took the little bird from her, she would pay attention to me and give me the answers I want. I walked close to her so that I could take it away, but the bird decided t
Ace POV.I walked back to the dining room and started eating. I was aware that they were all looking at me but at this time, I did not care at all."Has she agreed to eat?" Mom asked."No, the food is scattered on the cell's floor," I answered cause I knew there was no way, I was going to escape mom's questions."I really can't blame her though. With your arrogance," Abigail said."I don't care what you think or not. She is an enemy so I will treat her as one," I told them and they looked shocked.Mom had high expectations that I will end up with Adrianna after what she witnessed on the charity ball but a real disappointment doesn't hurt right?Looking at the food with zero interest in not eating since I have lost my appetite, I played with the food. Mixing food pretending to eat it but who could I fool? Everyone here is a grown up and can see through me. Yes, I was hurt. Having high expectations of something or someone always makes one easily get hurt. From the corner of the eye, I s
Ace POV."I don't trust you," I said. "Give me five minutes to talk to her. You can also be present.""Fine, lead the way. Just know one stupid mistake, you are dead," it said and I nodded my head.I stood and walked to the basement. I opened her cell on arrival and she looked up. As much as I wanted her to notice my presence, I saw her looking past me and a smile on her face."What did you do?" It sneered."As you can see, he hurt me," she said with a grin on her face."I can see that Adrianna, all of his men who were guiding the perimeter are already dead. Ivy gave that order cause she knew he had hurt you," it explained."Fantastic but at least you could have left me some little fun," she pouted."Come on, there will be next time," It said and she nodded her head happily."I want to make an offer with you," I said."And what makes you think that we will agree with you?" It said,"If she doesn't then I won't have a choice but to kill her in your presence," I said."You kill her, I k
Adrianna POV.I looked at the room. It was huge but not my room back in my penthouse. I really want to kill them. Who do they think they are?Why did I stab him? Because he was really annoying.I really hate annoying people.I stabbed him the second time to show his family that I don't care what they think or feel. I was in worse pain but they could only see their son. But what did he do to me? To think that I wanted him to fuck me disgusts me. The love and worry I saw in his parents' eyes made me jealous. How I wish I had parents to love me and protect me. Enough with the thoughts.Where is the first aid kit? I forgot to ask him that. I started searching for it and after some minutes, I found it on the top cabinet in the washroom. I cleaned my wounds, treated them and then bandaged them. I walked to the shower so that I could get rid of this awful smell. I really didn't have any clothes or belongings, so I will go shopping tomorrow. As I walked out of the shower with a towel around m
