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
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
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.
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. Her hopes were high that Kirk will approve, and even though she had doubts, she maintain a high spirit. After all, she believed in the practice of a positive mental attitude. 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. She glanced at the clock mounted on the wall. Kirk had been reading her paper for a straight ten minutes,
Luca and Alessio were the ones who were tasked to tail Addison Harper. The duo was known for their cruel nature, and Luca was licking his lips as he stared at Addison. The moment Luca saw her, he was already burning with desire. His eyes traveled her body, and he imagined lewd things inside his mind. He just has to wait until they abduct the woman, and he will definitely have his way toward her. No one will know except his partner, not unless Alessio will squeal. “Hey, what are you thinking, man? You look like you’re going to devour that woman.” Alessio noticed how his partner raked his eyes to the woman they were tailing. It's not good news. He had to admit that she was a natural beauty. With her blonde hair and emerald green eyes, not to mention that she has the right curves in the right places, the woman is really every man's desire. Alessio shook his head. They were going to be in trouble if Luca can’t control himself and raped the poor woman. The young master specifically to
Addison woke up with a headache that feels like cracking her head in two. She groaned in pain as she tried to move. Her body was too weak. She can’t open her eyes and she feels like her entire world is spinning around. Her gut hurt and she wanted to throw up but can’t seem to do it. Again, she tried to move, but to no avail. Panic rattled her very core. Why can't she move her body?Using the remaining strength that she has, she opened her eyes only to be welcomed by darkness. As she scanned the room that she was in, she found she was in a room with no windows at all. The single bulb hung from the ceiling, flickered, the only thing that gave light to the dim room.She tried to move again, but couldn’t. When she looked down at herself, she just realized that she was bound to a chair. The reason she can't move was the rope that had her body tied down. ‘That’s when she knew she was abducted. Memories came in like a flash of lightning, filling her head with the memories from last nigh
It was exactly twelve at midnight when the woman opened her eyes and listened to any noise around her. She had been pretending that she was asleep for the past three hours until all of her co-workers call it a night. She waited for another hour before she slowly rose from the bed she was using in the maid’s quarter. She shared the room with two other maids, which made it hard for her to work her plans on the mansion. And she needed to be very careful. She just found out that all the secret cameras she installed were gone. She suspected the Morellis had found it, but they just kept it to themselves. Clever. That’s how she described the heir. She regretted she could not get a photo of him when he came back to the mansion. He just stayed one night in the mansion and then left. She has no idea where he is right now, which made her boss pissed. Now, the boss had given her a new assignment. This time, she has to make sure this will not be discovered. Ever so slowly, she got out of bed a
Addie sucked in a deep breath as she woke up. Her heart was beating wildly as blood rushed through her veins and air filled her lungs. She just had one of the worst nightmares in her life. Her eyes widened in shock. She held both of her hands in her chest as she scanned the place that she was in. Dim lights, the closet was open, and the clothes were scattered on the floor. The windows were closed and the lampshade on the nightstand was the only illumination in her room. She was in her bed, in her room. Relief washed over her, and confusion took over her senses. “What was that?” she asked herself. “Was it just a fucking dream?” She wiped the beads of sweat that rolled on her forehead. Did she think about Salvatorre Morelli too much that her subconscious brain tricked her? But he was not in her dream, but she thought he was there. “What the fuck was that?” she cursed silently, still catching her breath. But it feels so true. A silky black car was tailing her. Her apartment r
