Simon looked up at the huge building in front of him. The magnificent building stood a thousand meters from the ground. It was located at the heart of Manhattan where people talked only about money and luxury. A place of elegance and power.Sky Palace. A chain of condominium buildings owned by Morelli Real Estate. Yes. They owned this high-end condominium that only the wealthy could afford to pay for the very expensive price.“You ready?” Giov spoke at went beside Simon. They were in front of the building as Simon took the liberty to inspect the business that he has to manage soon. It was years ago since he last saw this building. Although he was just around New York City, he didn’t dare go near any of the businesses they own.Simon took a
Revenge of the Secret Heir 14 - Stronger and Wiser
Simon’s condo unit was not as luxurious as the penthouse, but it was decent since the condominium was high-end, a building intended only for the wealthiest families in the city. Simon inserted both of his hands inside his pocket as he stepped inside the threshold. The place was screaming wealth and power. He nodded in appreciation as he scanned the whole unit. The design is very minimal and masculine. He liked how the interior was painted in a combination of pale blue and gray, very pleasing to the eyes. “So, you will have your office here instead of going to the Morelli Tower?” Giov was looking at every piece of artwork that hung on the wall, checking if there was any bugging device that was hidden. It became his attitude to check the place before settling into it. In their line of work, they had to be very careful, especially now that they had a traitor on the loose inside the clan. Morelli Tower is a twenty-story building built by his father. It is the main office of Morelli I
Revenge of the Secret Heir 15 - The Woman Next Door
It’s been a week since Simon moved to his new condo unit, and everything was running smoothly. All he did the whole week was to study all the past transactions in both Morelli Inc. and also in the activities involving the underworld. He needed a piece of strong evidence that there was some discrepancy going on in the records. He just had to find the culprit of it and let him pay.The Morelli crime family dominated the underworld for the sole reason that they feared how vast the connections they have. They practically have all eyes and ears in all departments of the government, and not only that but they were also affiliated with the mafia clans from other countries. Not to mention that most of the mafia bosses from other families trusted them the most than other families. There were five crime families in New York, and though they had created a separate body to enforce the law between themselves, the Morelli clan dominates almost all of them because they were much wealthier and more
Revenge of the Secret Heir 16 - The Party 1.0

The old man can’t stop talking about it and was so excited to announce to the world that Salvatorre will take over the company for he will soon retire from his position. It is not just Emiliano who’s excited, everyone in the business industry wanted to meet Salvatorre. Everyone was curious about what he looked like and what will be his contribution to the business sector. And of course, there were those who dig up his past and dirty secrets. Simon or Salvatorre, as his family calls him, didn’t want a grand party, but his father wouldn’t agree to it. They fell into a brief argument and Simon he would not win against his father. This leaves Simon no choice but to agree with his father. On one condition, it must be a masquerade party. Those who will be invited will have to wear a mask, and Simon will be able to hide his face from the public. He has no pictures uploaded on the internet since his mother was so adamant a
Revenge of the Secret Heir 17 - The Party 1.2
As Simon scanned the crowd before him, looking for some suspicious-looking person. His eyes stopped at the woman who was standing. Or the proper to describe the woman was that she’s hiding from the shadows. She may be trying her best to hide, but she got Simon’s attention, simply because she looked so regal and beautiful in that black dress. From the looks of it, it’s not an expensive dress like what most of the women at the party wore. Simon had an eye for expensive and cheap things. That only means that she’s not invited to the party. A gate crasher. Simon ended his speech with a smile, and the crowd applauded. The moment he exited the stage, he was greeted by several businessmen who wants to get to know him. They swarmed him like he was a sweet candy and they are the ants who wanted to have a taste of him. “Congratulations, Mr. Morelli. Your father must be so proud of you!” An old man approached Simon and offered his hand for a shake. He took off his mask, revealing his wrinkl
Revenge of the Secret Heir 18 - Carcass
Addie was about to utter a word when suddenly the lights of the whole mansion went off. Panic shot through her as she can't see even a single thing. "Great! What the hell happened? Why did the lights go off?" That was her initial reaction. She can't be alone in the dark with this strange man with an Italian accent, it reminds her of those sexy Italian mobster movies she used to watch with her asshole ex-boyfriend. Whispers of panic can be heard as the visitors tried to grab out in the dark. “Cazzo!”Addie heard the man curse in hard Italian. She recognized the word since it’s a famous cuss word. Salvatorre Morelli is from a long lineage of wealthy Italian businessmen, so it's not a surprise his men were also Italians. She was instantly on her feet and tried to pull the hand that the stranger was holding. “What’s going on?” She asked the man again, absentmindedly. There was definitely wrong with these people. She can’t see a single thing, and in a mansion owned by one of the wea
Revenge of the Secret Heir 19 - The Journalist
Simon stared at the body of the dead cat that was placed on the buffet table. His face was void of any emotions. Behind him were Marcus and Giov. In the background, his father uttered different curses. Emiliano was beyond angry because of what happened. Simon, on the other hand, remained silent and calm, even if the whole clan was in panic.Federico was standing beside Emiliano, trying to say sensible things to the enraged mafia boss. All the other members of the family were also there, witnessing the rage of their leader. Everyone except Emiliano was cursing, no one dared to say a thing while their boss was in the heat of rage. “Merda! They fucking dare to do this on my son’s welcome party! I will not tolerate this!” “Whoever did this, they must have people inside the clan. This is not the work of a single person, that I am sure.” Federico assumed. All the guests had already gone home. After all the panic and ruckus, Simon still had thoughts in keeping all of the visitors safe.
Revenge of the Secret Heir 20 - The Sentinel
Addison was biting her lips as she stared at her boss, Kirk Woods. She just gave to him her paper and now he’s reading it. Her heart was beating faster than it usually does.

As expected, there was no news about what had happened last night at the mansion of the Morellis. Addies had expected this since. Wealthy people always have the power to control the media. What’s the use of having a lot of money if you can’t buy it with anything?Addie firmly believed money could buy anything, a perfect example of that was the life of her younger brother. If her boss will approve of the paper, then she will be the first one to release such news, and of course, her name will make noise, just as she wanted it to happen.

A Happy Ever After for a Mafia Boss
ONE YEAR LATERIt’s been a year since Simon proposed to her at the airport. It was a proposal that no one expected. Simon organized it himself with the help of his friend, Black Scar, one of Hong Kong’s notorious criminals. They got married the next day as Simon didn’t want to waste time. It was a very intimate wedding and only a few guests were invited to that sacred event. Simon even organized it without them noticing his activities. He was so good at hiding things. It was quite weird for Addison because Simon was really never vocal about how he feels about her. And suddenly he proposed! They are not even couples, or he didn’t even confess his love for her even once. Eve so, Addison said yes to his marriage proposal. Why would she decline him? She loves him as much as he loves her. And he had proven himself to her already so many times that Addison knew that what they had was something real and needs to be cherished. Addison couldn’t help but smile while she was checking her mak

186 - Unexpected Proposal
The ride going to the airport was long and heart-stopping. The driver did his very best to dodge the cars that were tailing them, but it was a futile attempt. The chase was rough, though those cars did nothing but chase them, it was still rough. “Damn those bastards. What do they want? They just chased us like it was fun for them.” Ryzen shook his head as he looked at the rearview mirror. The driver of the cab did a good job of keeping them at a distance. “Don’t mind them. We will arrive at the airport in less than five minutes now. Be ready. We need to run fast as soon as this cab stops at the entrance of the airport.” Simon instructed them what to do the moment they arrived. “What? Run? But what if these men have guns? I am sure they were the ones who visited us. Damn, these Chinese gangsters!” Silence took over as they sped their way in the street. The night was ripe, it was already ten in the evening, and the streets were packed with people. Addison keeps on looking at the

185 - A Rough Chase
Fear began to envelop Addison’s chest. These armed men were looking for her and there was no way that she was going to go with them. Addison shook her head. “No. There’s no way I am going with those guys, Simon.” She took a step back, it was an act of self-preservation. Federico took a step forward in front of Addison. His hands were ready to draw guns that were hidden behind his jeans. He’s always prepared when a time like this arises. “I already talked to Black Scar, and I will talk to him again. You can’t just drag my girlfriend out of here.” Simon calmly suggests. His calm demeanor was much more scary than those men with high-powered guns. He smiled politely at those people. “I suggest that you go back now. I will call him to negotiate. Please, I don’t want any ruckus in here.” He said again, this time he was smiling. Addison swallowed an invisible lump from her throat. This was her fault. If she wasn’t so stubborn enough, this wouldn’t have happened. Now some Asian gangst

184.2 - A call from the Chines Triad
All eyes were set to Simon and they waited for his reaction as the phone call ended. His face was so serious that Federico was so sure it was not good news. “What did he say?” Addison was the first one to break the silence. “It’s the Black Scar, right? What does he want from you?” Addison shifted from her seat. For some reason she couldn’t understand, she had a feeling that this was not going to be a good night for all of them. He guts told her so, and it was never wrong before. “Well?” Federico raised an eyebrow at Simon. Simon looked at them one by one before he released a heavy sigh and massaged his temple. That action alone indicated that something was wrong. “Am I in trouble, Simon?” Addie’s chest pounded hard. Are those men coming after them now? Before Simon could even answer them they heard a loud banging on the doer. Not a simple knock, but an urgent banging that’s demanding. “Who the hell is that?” Ryzen got to his feet and went to open the door. “Wait! Don’t open

184.1 - The Chinese Triads
“What the fuck?” Simon’s voice roared inside the house. After the incident, Addie and Ryzen quickly went home, leaving the scene behind them. Addison was still shaking from what happened. Well, it’s the worst thing that she experienced because she kidnaped a couple of times and she’s not new to this. But this happening in a foreign country makes it more dreadful. Simon was quick to rush Addison and check on her. “Are you hurt? Did those guys?” Simon gripped Addison’s shoulder and examined if she endured any injuries from the incident. Addison just rolled her eyes and shrugged off Simon’s hand. “You know I’m fine because you had someone following us.” She sat on the sofa, crossed her arms in front and raised an eyebrow at Simon. Both Ryzen and Federico turned their heads to Simon who nonchalantly puffed smoke from his mouth. “Damn!” Simon gave in. “Okay, I had them tailed you. What am I supposed to do? Leave you alone to roam the streets of Hong Kong without any protection? Tha

183 - Chaos in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is such a busy city. Addison couldn’t be happier to see people bustle in the middle of the huge city. The crowd makes her excited. The beautiful faces of Asian people. “I can’t wait to try their food!” Addison gushed. She pulled Ryzen going to a street vendor who sells different kinds of street foods. After going from one store to another, Addison was famished. “Ryzen! What are you looking at?” She pulled his attention back to his. She glanced in the direction that Ryzen was looking but she saw nothing there. “What? Did you see a beautiful Chinese girl?” Addison teased him. But Ryzen didn’t bite in her joke. He looked serious and worried at the same time. “Come on, let’s eat! I think their food is so delicious.” While Addison was busy talking to the old woman who was selling the street food, Ryzen squinted his eyes. He was sure that someone was spying on them, his gut feelings wouldn’t lie to him, and they never failed him before. Addie handed him a mouth-watering fo

182.2 - Grandiose Vacation ( Hong Kong)
“Are you sure that you two are going to be alright?” Federico asked Ryzen again. They were gathered in the living room of the house that they rented. It’s a two-story bungalow house. Simon preferred to rent a home than stay in a hotel. Ryzen shrugged his shoulder, ignoring Federico’s worries. Simon tapped Federico’s shoulder, he was standing behind him. “Don’t worry about it, they are going to be fine. Right, Ryzen?” Simon and Federico both turned their heads to look at Ryzen. “Of course!” Ryzen yelled out in panic and followed it with a laugh. “You can trust me on this.” He assured them, confidence was laced in his voice. Federico wasn't sure about this one. He was damn worried, but he knew he can’t do anything about it if that’s what Addison wanted. Addison wanted to explore Hong Kong and she requested that she would go by herself. Federico and Simon said no, and told her that it would be too dangerous for her to go alone, especially in a place that she’s not familiar with.

182.1 - Grandiose Vacation After the Chaos
Addison was overwhelmed that Simon had taken them on a grandiose vacation. Yes, she had been to other countries before but it was all for her work. This will be the first time that she’s going on a vacation, and she has to thank Simon for it. Simon has always been good to her. He may not be that vocal with his feelings but Addie could feel his genuine concern and love for them. She swallowed the invisible lump in her throat. Now that everything is going well for all of them, she just hoped that Simon would not go back to where he started, the Mafia clans. She knew very well that he was an heir to a billion-dollar empire and he had to take his place in the underworld, but Addie didn’t want him to be part of that again. It was too dangerous. “Hey, are you all right?” Addison’s attention was diverted to the man who was beside her. They were on a plane going to Egypt and it will be a long ride. “I was just thinking about Simon.” She admitted. There’s no use denying something that bo

All things are good now
It’s been weeks but the trauma was still fresh from Addison’s mind. The fear was still present inside her heart and she couldn’t help but overthink things. She was drinking her coffee one early morning in the gazebo inside Simon’s estate. She still can’t get over the fact that they were able to make it out of Mancini’s mansion. Thinking about her heart suddenly felt heavy. That huge man who helped her never made it out. He was one of Mancini’s most trusted personnel but he was so kind that he helped her. If only Addison could turn back the clock, he wouldn’t have left him in that state there. Regret and guilt consumed her. “Hey…” Federico came with a cup of hot coffee in his hand. “You wouldn’t mind if I joined you, right?” He looked fresh with his hair combed to the side and had a bright smile plastered on his face. Addison smiled at him. “No, not at all. Come.” She gestured to the empty seat in front of her. Simon was still recovering from his stab wound and Addison had the
