[ AITANA ]"Are you sure about it?I mean it's Liam Grayson, we're dealing with."Chase sipped his coffee and stared quizzically between us."I get that , we both know how vicious and sick Liam can be but we're not going to surrender our weapons and let that bastard barbecue our hearts for his hounds."Alessandro pressed his lips into a thin line.I let out a heavy sigh and re-read the message. My father never targeted me directly but as far as I had observed him from my growing age, this man was capable of anything, nothing was beyond his reach."I want to meet him."Silence invaded the tensed air.They stopped debating on pros and cons of Liam Grayson's watch over our day to day life."What!!"They yelled causing me to flinch."Please don't shout, my ears are only habitual to gunshots."I glared them."Can you repeat what you just said, Ana?"Alessandro's sharp eyes dared me."I am ready to face him. He's my father and if someone knows him from his bones, it's me. I want to listen to what

[ Aitana ]"Think again, Ana. Do you really want to do this?"Alessandro asked me for the uncountable time since we left our house to the location where I suppose to meet my father, De Niro's best hacking team traced the location of the private number from which my father texted me.It was an old antique shop in the south end of the city, it belonged to a French family who opened it in late 1890's and since then it had been famous for selling rare and unique items for it's rich customers around the country.Our cars stopped a few meters away from the shop and my husband had crease lines and sweat all over his face even in a cold weather than usual."We don't even know whether he's still staying in the same shop or it was only to distract us from our mainline mission. "I reasoned as I know my father more than anybody else.He enjoyed seeing people go after nothing and waste their precious time meanwhile, he waited and planned a front attack."You're not going to back off, will you?"He si

[ Alessandro De Niro ]"So, it went well? You came out without a scratch on your beautiful body."I asked my wife who just walked inside the same store room where I had been waiting for her with my hostage."Can we talk about it while we eat. Rats are literally parading inside my starving tummy and please untie this old gentleman and escort him respectfully to his shop."She said in a very normal tone.I craned my neck to glance at old Elaric, whose bulgy eyes were glaring at me murderously."Well, I can release him but latter isn't something I would do. They're working for my biggest enemy currently."I said while untying Elaric."Alessandro...don't be a bitch."She scoffed and the way she sounded very calm, I wondered what sort of conversation she had with Liam Grayson."There's no need for leniency, Miss Grayson. I and Elaric can walk us back to the shop. We were assigned to escort you safely to our Boss and we did our job. I only hope, we'd meet again very soon, have a nice day ahead.

[ Alessandro De Niro ]I felt the strong urge to gut the motherfucker with my bare hands and send his heart as a token of my warning to Edward Whitford. He was not an enemy of the De Niros until he broke my wife's trust and heart but no one escapes after messing up with a De Niro.Aitana had been very quiet since she learnt about Maximus's real name. He used his middle and and adopted a new surname to hide his real identity but his family should better improve this centuries old tricks. This is the age of technology and it's easier to find people by the data of their fingerprints and iris identification. They could fool the Graysons but not us.I decided to leave the bed but the woman sleeping on my chest made it hard for me to disturb her sleep. It's nine in the morning and my assistant had left almost a dozen reminder about an important meeting with Mr. Hall who had done my work and now he wanted to hand over me the papers of permission to start the construction on the land where my

[ Aitana ]The evening rolled in, Alessandro texted me to be ready by seven so he could send someone to pick me up from his way to the venue my brother and he decided on. They kept it a surprise for me knowing how I despise surprises as I am not good at keeping the curiosity poking my guts.I picked a sleeveless champagne red gown with sweetheart neck and a slit on the thigh. The back was also very hollow revealing almost my waist. I was going to receive a good lecture from Alessandro on choosing this dress for a dinner at a public place and I love to tease him. I tied my hairs into a French bun and completed my look with natural make up and pearl jewelries.A knock on the door indicated that he had sent someone to pick me up."Aitana, your carrier is here." Rita's voice came from the other side of the door."Coming in a minute."I replied.With a last glance at my reflection just to ensure I looked fine, I collected my clutch and phone before heading out of my room."You're looking li
