Alex perked up immediately.“Really? Can you describe the tattoo? Do you remember what it looked like?”Camila groaned and held her head between her hands.“Ease off. You’re asking too many questions.”Alex sighed deeply, deciding that she was right. He had to ease off. She was still under the powerful effect of whatever drug they’d given to her and he did not want to trigger her symptoms. Suddenly, Camila got to her feet and yawned, lifted her hands above her head in a long, satisfying stretch. In the process, the towel that he’d had wrapped around her fell off, revealing the glistening, naked skin of her back, thighs and plump arse to Alex’s hungry eyes. It took a lot of self control for him to clear his throat and step back. He hurried to his wardrobe and picked out one of his favourite flannel shirts for her.The shirt was old and soft from over washing, but most importantly, it was comfortable to sleep in.“Here.” He stretched the shirt in her direction without looking at her.

Alex thought he was alone in the room until he heard the click of footsteps that indicated that someone was walking towards him.He looked up just as Miguel knelt beside him, his lips still twisted in that smug smirk.“Well, well, well. If it isn’t our little head cleaner? Oh, how the mighty has fallen.”Akex gritted his teeth and promptly decided that he wouldn’t gain anything from engaging Miguel in a tug of words.“What do you want, Miguel?”The bastard broke into a huge smile.“Nothing, nothing. Infact, right now, everything seems to be right with my little world which is weird considering the fact that ever since you came here, my life has been nothing but difficult.”Alex ignored the burning anger in his chest. He had better things to worry about.“That’s great, but if you do not have anything important to say, I suggest you stay very far away from me for the next few days.”Miguel scoffed. “And what makes you think you’ll be here in the next few days, David?” He bent closer, hi

The Guerrero mansion was under attack. All around, the workers were screaming and scampering for safety while gunshots continued to rent the air. And the gunshots were getting closer and closer. Alex swung into action immediately. He barged back into the abandoned room and motioned at Camila who was already trembling with fear. “It’s not safe here, Miss Camila. Come on. I’ll take you somewhere safe.” “What’s going on?” She asked, looking as terrified as she sounded. “Who’s shooting? Is it Miguel and his men?” Alex paused to consider that she might have a point. Did Miguel actually choose to continue with the attack and reveal his evil intentions? “There’s really no time to wait around and think, Miss.” He said, grabbing her hand and hurrying towards the door. “We have to go. Now.” He was about to pull the door open when a strange sound came from just outside. They both froze. Despite the fact that Alex’s heart was currently in a pounding frenzy, he tried to appear

By the time Akex got to the second half the of the mansion, he’d bypassed fifteen dead bodies and disarmed five men from the enemy camp.The more enemies he fought with, the more he realised that these men had no experience whatsoever. Maybe he was right. Maybe their bosses just picked them from factories with the promise of monetary reward if they joined in the attack.But what kind of rival mafia organisation went to war with unskilled men? What happened to their skilled soldiers?Alex was about to walk round a bend in the dining room when he heard footsteps approaching. His fingers tightened over the gun in his grasp and he froze, waiting to catch whoever was coming off guard. The moment the stranger’s booted feet came into view, he raised his gun and cocked it. He was just about to pull the trigger when a familiar head of brown hair came into sight. “Caleb!”Caleb nearly jumped a mile, his eyes widening in fear when he heard his name. His posture visibly relaxed and he let out a

The boss finally turned around and Alex nearly did a double take. Not only did scars mar one half of his face, he was also missing one eye. In place of the missing eye was a lifeless prosthetic that looked creepy as hell. The boss abandoned the Capo and advanced towards them, his lips pulling in a smirk.“Finally, someone who doesn’t recoil at the sight of my ugly ass face. I think I’ll keep you, boy.”Alex stood his ground.“Release my capo.” He said through gritted teeth.”The boss burst into laughter. “The audacity of this kid.” He said, patting his shoulder. “Who are you?”“What are you going to do to them?” Alex asked, avoiding his question. He shrugged. “Nothing much. I think I’ll keep his head.”It sounded like he was joking, but Alex could dictate the note of seriousness in his tone. This man was a boss for a reason. He wasn’t playing around. “Who are you?” Alex asked. “Who sent you here? I know you’re not part of any organised crime syndicate. Who are you then?”All trac
