RICHARD'S POVThe place looked deserted, there was no visible sign of life around."Are you sure this is the place?""Yes sir" the lanky man with a gruff beard standing next to me replied.I signaled for my men to move forward and with drawn weapons, they treaded the concrete until they took their positions, ready to start the show.I could see the trepidation in the way they moved, their weapons shook in their hands and I wanted to slap them silly for letting fear rule them. The truth is, they had every single right to be afraid. They'd seen what those assassins can do. They'd removed the butchered remains of their brothers and friends from a delivery box, some of them had even cleaned up the mess in my home a few days ago and we didn't even know how many others were present in the warehouse.I knew it was going to be a bloodbath and to be honest I could feel tiny webs of fear already spinning in my h

KIM'S POV I opened my eyes, trying to take in my surrounding but I was greeted with darkness. My head was covered with an itchy black mask. Tiny sand particles rested on my tongue and my throat was dry like I'd been fed shards of glass. My legs felt like I was suffering from a gazillion bee stings and my jeans was so drenched in blood it clung to my body like a second skin.My wrists and ankles were spread apart, transferring my body weight to my shoulders and spine. I tried to wriggle free from the chains but that only made things worse, more pressure added to my back and my legs opened to tearing point. Where am I ?? What's this place?? I had gone back to the hideout to check if she left some clues on where to find her.... Suddenly everything that happened some hours ago came back in a rush and the thick accent of that man ordering me to drop my weapon proved I was in deep

ROSELLE'S POV I don't know why I did what I did.I don't know why I told him everything.I don't know why I decided to trust him.I could be putting my life and Kim's in more danger.He could be as vile and disgusting as Richard and his uncle Dimitri.But I also knew telling him everything was my only chance of getting out of here.I couldn't even lie, he'd know.Maybe I was a fool for doing what I did, but every ticking second was a sharp needle pricking my conscience and reminding me of just how much I had failed Kim. I haven't even told Kim everything, if there's anyone who deserve to know the entire truth, it was him.He strived desperately to fix me, to knit my shattered parts together, he deserved it and I gave it to a stranger. Of course I knew he wasn't going to keep his part of the deal.I&nb

DIMITRI'S POV "сколько времени нужно, чтобы заставить его говорить?You asked me to let you handle things and I did but as usual you couldn't even get the job done!!Doesn't he have a family or relatives you can use as an incentive to make him talk?" I questioned. {How long does it take to get him speak} "What do you think?? I have checked his records,every single thing about him,he doesn't have a family,nobody!! I have tortured the life out of him but he didn't speak.У вас есть какие-либо предложения дорогой дядя??" he asked mockingly {Do you

I could feel Enzo's confused glare drilling holes at the back of my head. Can't blame the poor man, he's been on the receiving end of my temper for a couple of days. It's quite unfortunate he always comes around me when I'm irritated or annoyed.I stifled a groan as I walked into my office. Piles of paperwork and reports greeted me, throwing myself into work seemed like a good way to get my mind off things for a while soI settled in, determined to finish everything before day break.The gentle golden rays of the morning filled the study gradually. I hadn't slept a wink throughout the night, tiredness settled in my body and a thick migraine hammered in my head threatening to crush my skull. I had gone through reports and added some inputs on upcoming mergers with my assistant Vincenzo. I walked out of the study and headed for my room to take a bath and get some rest. There was no one in sight, actually this floor was meant for just me and now, Roselle.
