Addison knew exactly that she had no escape this time. The dull smile on her face immediately faded and her seriousness overtook. “Where did you go, Addie?” Federico repeated his question. She has no idea how the hell did they found out but Addison had a slight idea that it was Ryzen. She sent him a death glare, which Ryzen responded only with an innocent shrug. “Seriously? You put a tracker on me? That's an invasion of privacy!” She was more than stunned. Addison didn’t expect that. The last person that she thought would do that to her was Ryzen. “I told him to do it.” Federico spoke. He was leaning his back on the couch, a lit cigarette on his hand. “It’s for the best. I want your every move monitored. I can’t another lose, Addison. I promised Salvatorre that I will take care of the two of you, and that was part of it.”“I’m sorry, Adds, I just want to make sure that you’re safe.” Ryzen’s face turned red, he sounded apologetic. She let out a sigh and joined them on the couch
After a year of feeling like the whole world has turned its back on him, Dominico felt elated for the first time. A satisfied grim made its way into his lips as his eyes fixed on the article that was just published online by an unknown person. Of course, he knew exactly who that person was. It’s Addison. “That’s it, Addison. You’ve done a very good job.” She wrote all the details that he gave, not even one detail was missed. Dominico was pleased to see that article being live on the internet. It won’t take long and the Mancini empire will start to crash. “It’s showtime.” A laugh escaped his lips.He can’t wait to witness how those bastards will beg for their money. He has contacted the major shareholders of their company, and he’s willing to buy the shares. The Mancinis owned twenty percent of the stocks, the largest holder in the company. If he could purchase at least twenty five percent of it, then he’ll have a hold on the company. He bit his lip to suppress a grin. Dominico
“Federico!” Ryzen was shouting as he entered their apartment. He’s been out all day and all of his hardwork for the day really has paid off. He just gathered some important news, and he can’t wait to share it to Addison and Federico. He’s sure as hell that they will be thrilled. “Fed! Addie! I’ve got some news! Fuck, you two should hear this!” His voice reverberated inside the walls of their small apartment. Addison emerge from the kitchen, she was wearing her favorited pink apron with straberry prints. While Federico was rubbing his eyes as he emerge from his room. “What the fuck was the fuss, Ryzen?” Federico’s voice was laced with annoyance, perhaps it stemmed from his sleep that was disturbed by Ryzen’s shouting. “Ryzen, where have you been all day long? You’re not answering my calls.” Addison scolded him, but he ignored that. Federico slummped on the couch, his eyes was still heavy with sleep and Addison just crossed her arms across her chest and waited for Ryzen to spill
“Are you sure about this? Did you really hack their system and input our names there?” Addison wasn’t feeling well with the idea that Ryzen had access to the database of the auction and input their names there as guests. It’s too risky, anytime there’s a big chance that they might be caught. “Don’t you have faith in me? Don’t worry about it. No one will know what I did.” Ryzen glanced at the rearview mirror and winked at Addison who was sitting in the passenger seat. Federico decided that it’s best if the three of them will go to that auction. Well, they were not interested in any items there, but they needed to observe the people who wanted to bid for the painting. It’s the fake one, and Federico wanted to know who the unlucky bidder would place millions of dollars for nothing. Addison let out a sigh of frustration. The drive was long, and every minute that they were nearing the building, she became restless. It will be held in one of Mancini's luxury hotels. Addison wondered i
Simon’s car came to a halt in front of the hotel's entrance. “Should I wait for you here, boss?” Harland, his driver, asked him. Manuel Mancini sent an invitation for this auction. Simon wouldn’t be much interested in attending the auction, if not for his painting. Yes, his painting. Though it’s fake and of no actual monetary value, Simon actually considered that as part of his father’s legacy. He wondered how the fuck did Manuel Mancini stomach to include the painting in the auction knowing that it didn’t cost a dime. “No, leave the car in the parking lot and just go home.” Simon didn’t wait for his reply, he opened the door and stepped out of the car. He made sure his face was covered with his mask and hat. Everyone in the underworld was dying to know his real face, and he’s not going to give them that satisfaction. Being Dominico Galvante gave him the advantage, he was like an enigma to these parasites and they were hungry for anything, be it information about his identity
Ryzebn received a message from the stranger. The message was clear, to hack Manuel Manici’s bank account and take as much money as he can. His hands shook as he read the message on his phone, it’s a very risky one. Although he trusts his skills when it comes to hacking accounts, he can’t be so sure if the banks have any program on their sites to counter hackers. He might be traced if he does this. While he was having an internal debate whether to do the said task, another message came through. This time it’s not from the previous sender, it’s a notification from his bank. “What the fuck?” Ryzen almost choked from his own saliva when he saw the digits. The amount that was just credited to his bank account was a freaking six digits! He just became a millionaire. His phone beeped, another message came. With his heart beating wildly he read the third message. “I guess that amount will be enough for you to do the task.” He knew at that instant where this money came from. “Fuck! Fuc
Mancini Mansion.Manuel Mancini was having a blast. The success of the auction made his blood run wild. He wanted to laugh at the man who paid a huge amount of money for the painting that has no value at all. The highest bidder didn’t bother to tell his real identity, which he doesn’t really give a damn about. All that matters to him was the money that was added to his bank account. “Poor man, he didn’t know he was scammed! Was it your idea to include the painting in the auction?” Hubert was sitting at the plush couch, a glass of liquor in his hand. “Actually, it was not part of the plan. But when I saw that fucking painting, and I dislike the idea of it being here in my mansion. So, why not include it?’ Hubert Mancini burst into a loud laugh with what his brother said. “Damn! That was epic. And who’s the lucky buyer?” Manuel just shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t give a damn about him.” He was living his life the way he wanted it to be. He eliminated almost all of his enemies,
Addison stared at the screen of her phone for minutes now. Her heart was beating fast and she was almost out of breath as she tried to process the information she just recieved. Along with the message was a video clip that she must release to the internet without being traced. “How was I supposed to do that?” she whispered as she shrunk into her seat. The last time she did this man a favor, she almost punched herself for being entangled into this kind of situation. But she also had to remind herself that she must do this for Simon and Rave. Gulping, she opened the video clip. Minutes later she ran into the bathroom and emptied her stomach. Catching her breath, she rinsed her mouth and splash water into her face to wake her up. She did it a few times before she stared at her own reflection in the mirror. She had known the Mancinis were a vile creature, evil in its human form, but what she just watched was way worse than she expected. She gripped the edge of the sink as her body
