“ You’re making it worst.”
“I don’t need you to protect me.” She said and stepped forward.
“So you got a feisty mouth too?” Derrick smirked.
“So sad of you to just notice. What rules were you talking about?”
“She’s a higher member of this gang.”
“I don’t remember joining the gang. Was that in our agreement Draco?”
“No.” Draco sighed and she laughed.
“OH so that means I don’t get to obey any stupid rules I don’t know about. Or did you recruit me without informing me?”
“You work here now. It means you’re a part of this team.”
“Well I wouldn’t try to put it that way. Cause you might live to regret it.” She said and he gasped.
“No one has ever talked back at me.”
“I’m glad I’m the first. I’ll keep on getting on your nerves. Since we’re all don making ourselves clear… I won’t touch your whore again if she doesn’t cross my part and you won’t belittle me to being a member of your tiny club.”
“Tiny!”
“Great we understand each other perfectly. It was nice doing business with you.” She smirked. Derrick stared at her shocked as he tried to process what just happened. He looked at one more time before leaving.
“I’ll be watching you.” He whispered before leaving.
“ What do you think you’re doing?” Draco asked her after he had left.
“Standing up for myself.”
“Look I brought you here to help me do something. I don’t want you dead before it’s done. So stop trying to get on others nerve.”
“Can I have my phone now?”
“What?”
“I promise I’m not gonna call anyone to save me. I just need to take a quick call.” She winked.
“Oh come on. I know it’s in your pocket. It’s like I’m gonna run away or something. I just need something I’m familiar with.” She smiled and he sighed.
“Here but I’m taking it back.” He said and gave her.
“Agreed.” She smiled. Immediately she took the phone, it rang and Freedom Eater showed on the screen.
“Who’s Freed…..”
“Shh!” She said and took the call.
“Hey dad.” She said smiling brightly.
“Where the fuck are you?!” Mr. Luca yelled.
“Somewhere you’ll never find me.”
“What do you think you’re doing? Do you know who you are?”
“Relax dad. I’m fine and safe and besides no one even knows me as your daughter yet.”
“Get your fried brain back to Italy in two days!”
“Not happening. Oh and my fried brain is what’s keeping me going after you threatened to disown me.”
“Sapphire!”
“Take a chill pill dad. I’m not coming back till I’ve gotten the amount of space I need from you! Say hi to Clyde for me will you? He’s a good boy but good boys tell. That’s why I didn’t tell him anything. Did you think I won’t know your deal with him. Goodbye dad!”
“Sapphire don’t you dare hang up on me!”
“Oops.” She said and cut the call before giving it back to Draco.
“Who was that?”
“My father.” She smiled.
“Why did he ask you to come back to Italy when you’re still in Italy?”
“I guess a good friend of mine told him I took off on vacation. I’m not to ready to talk to him, so if he calls in two days, do me a favour and talk to him.” She winked. “You kidnapped me after all.”
“You know there’s a thing called tracking right?”
“Not with my baby.” She smiled and Draco stared at her confused. “No one can track my phone without my consent.” She smiled widely.
“How smart are you?”
“The smartest.” Sapphire winked playfully.
“Just get to work. The earlier you get me into Pietro’s, the earlier you leave this place.”
“I’m not planning on leaving sooner. I might hate you but I'm not leaving this place yet.” She muttered silently but he caught her words.
“What do you mean?”
“Did I say anything? You didn’t hear anything.” She said nonchalantly.
“Just work on getting me in.”

SEATTLE, U.S.A
An entourage of men in red suit with their ladies in white walked in majestically into the large hall. A lady in a white suit that hugged her body came down from a black SUV, she was putting on deep red lipstick and had a large hat on and she had this sinister smile plastered on her face as she walked into the large hall where the party which seemed like a wedding reception was taking place.
“Mrs. Luca.” A voice called and she smiled widely.
“Mrs. Luca.” The voice called again and she turned.
“Mr. Frederick.” She faked a smile. The man covered the little space between them and hugged her tightly.
“It is an honor to see you.” Mr. Frederick said in an American accent and she chuckled as she broke the hug.
“Oh stop it Frederick. You invited me and I honored your invitation.” She smiled widely as looked around.
“The newly weds will soon arrive.” Mr. Frederick said and she nodded.
“Love the decoration. I assume your wife is the one behind it or is it one of your numerous girlfriends?” She asked sarcastically in a thick Italian accent.
“You flatter me. My daughter was the one who choose the design.”
“Where is your wife?” She asked with an American accent this time.
“She couldn’t make it.” Mr. Frederick said and she scoffed.
“What a mother!”
“Hello husband.” A woman with blonde hair putting on a semi transparent peach gown said as she walked towards them. She kissed Frederick on the lips lightly.
“No wonder she couldn’t make it. One wouldn’t even recognize you as the mother of the bride. There’s no difference between the whores he goes out with and you.” Mrs. Luca said as she walked away.
“Anne no need to bite on your words. You’re welcome by the way. It’s a pity your husband couldn’t come to see you. I kind of wonder what he does every year. Taking care of your insane daughter?” The woman said sarcastically and laughed at the end.
“Unlike your husband’s who’s prone to catch a disease at any moment, mine is responsible. Sandra.” Anne winked mischievously and walked away.
“Why did you invite her?” Sandra asked.
“We need her husband’s company. This is the only chance I got could, please don’t ruin it any further.” Frederick said and she scoffed.
“Then you should have invited Fernando instead.”
“You know he never shows his face to the public unless necessary. The wife is here please don’t ruin things for me.”
“Not like any more thing is going to be ruined.” Sandra scoffed.
“I’m sorry, Frederick. I’ve got something urgent to do at the office.” Anne interrupted them. They didn’t even know she had turned back. How much did she hear?
“But you just arrived.” Sandra said.
“I know. It’s kind of urgent and I can’t avoid it so we’ll catch up next time.” She said and handed Frederick a sealed envelope.
“Make sure your daughter receives it sealed. It’s a wedding gift. Tell her I’m so sorry for bailing her.”
“ Thank you.” Frederick smiled.
“Maybe dinner sometime to make up for this.” She said and he nodded. “Very well then. Goodbye.” She said and pecked his right cheek before walking away.
“Imbecile, you intentionally flirted with her in my presence.” Sandra frowned.
“I didn’t flirt..”
“The why did you smile at her? You even let her stinking lips touch your face.”
“It’s just a friendly gesture. Besides you don’t even act this way when other girls do it.”
“That’s because she’s not other girls! She’s your high school sweetheart!”
“Was my high school sweetheart.” He corrected.
“Oh come on, I know you still love her.” She scoffed.
“Sandra stop trying to pick up a fight. Today’s your daughter’s big day, please don’t try to ruin it any further.” He said as his eyes moved around her body. She was almost naked.
“Shut up!”
….
Anne met her assistant, Louisa, a slender white girl with red hair and pouty lips at the door of the mansion pacing about. She was the one who called her from the party.
“Louisa I hope it’s something important…..
“Boss wants you to return to Italy today.” Louisa interrupted.
“What? When did he tell you this?”
“A while ago.”
“Why didn’t he call me? Did he tell you why?” She asked and Louisa nodded.
“Don’t tell me..”
“Sapphire is not in Italy.”
“Oh God! That girl.” Anne cursed. “Fine, prepare my things and let’s go find my daughter.” She smiled widely.
Louisa went into the house while she waited outside. She stared into space for while as she thought about what she was going to face in Italy. “Oh Sapphire can’t you just obey your father for once?” She sighed.
“Well it’s a good thing she ran away this time. Who knows maybe he would have been forcing another ring on her fingers?” She muttered and chuckled at the end.
NEXT DAY, ITALY.Clyde was with Giulia in his apartment. They were both watching a movie when they heard the doorbell ring. Giulia quickly rushed to answer the door and she met a woman on all black at the door. “Who are you?” She asked rudely and the woman scoffed.“Who are you?” The woman asked and pushed her way into the apartment.“Hey you can’t come in here! This is trespassing.” Giulia said after her but she ignored her.“What’s going on?” Clyde asked as he walked in on them.“Boo.” Anne said like a baby.“Anne.” Clyde said shocked as she pulled him in a hug. “Did you miss me baby?” Anne teased and he chuckled.“More than you can imagine.” He said and broke the hug. “You didn’t tell anyone you were coming.”“I didn’t know I was coming.” Anne smiled.“I’m still here.” Giulia coughed behind them.“Clyde honey, take my bag. Be a gentleman.” Anne said and Clyde quickly took the bag from her.“Anne, this is Giulia, my girlfriend.” Clyde introduced and Giulia who was already fuming
“ Hey Pierce. " Molly called after him when she saw him come out of Draco's suite. “ Molly. " He smiled shortly. “ I was looking for you. "“ Oh really?" “ Yes. Have you seen Francesco?" “ That silly tech guy, no. I think Lord Derrick sent him on an errand. " “ Lord Draco needs him." Pierce said and she rolled her eyes. “ He'll be back soon, I guess. “ She muttered. " The new girl...."“ What about her? “ " She's cute. I like her. “ Molly said and he chuckled. " You like every cute girls Molly. One would mistake you for a lesbian. “ He said and she pulled his right ear." Just say you like her asshole. “ She spat. " Like who? She could kill me if we get into a fight. Did you see the way she attacked Knife? “ He scoffed and she let go off his ear. " Just don't use such words on me again or I might pull out your ear this time. “ Molly glared at him. " Yes ma.“ Pierce winked. " Tell Francisco to see me when he's back. “ She said and walked away. " Love her ass. “ He whispere
“ Why do you want Pietro so badly?" Sapphire asked. She had begged Draco for a cup of coffee to help her stay awake.“ He has something that belongs to me?"“ What? Your mother? Gold? Money? Drugs?"“ My child. " He said and she gasped. “ Is that why you recruited me? To find your child?" “ Part of."“ How is he?"“ She? Four." “ Oh.." Sapphire muttered. “ He sure has history with young girls. " She chuckled. “ So I've heard." “ I'll help you. From now on, I'll be fervent since this is involving a child. "“ If it wasn't?"“ I don't work for killers, remember?"“ I know why I hate you but why do you hate me? I mean you barely know. "“ Youre just like my father. A ruthless killer who gets anything he wants. I hate you all." She scoffed. “ I haven't been ruthless. "“ But you are. Ive worked in the underworld too and I've heard a lot about you and your brother. From what I've heard, you're even more ruthless than he is. “ " Hmm..“ He said and stood up. " Goodnight. I expect impr
“ Are you okay now?" Draco asked for the umpteenth time after helping her settle down .“ Yes. It was just a slight cold." She said and he chuckled. “ Really? Maybe you should go back."“ Are you crazy? I almost turned into ice block in that cage. " She said dramatically with her eyes wide open and he laughed.“ I thought it was just a slight cold. “"Well I was being sarcastic." She rolled her eyes. " Just stay away from my brother from now on. “ " Do you think I'm a spy too? “ She asked out of the blue. " What?“ " Your brother called me a traitor. “" Ohh.... “" He said something about my father. “" Why didn't you say you were Fernando Luca's daughter? “" My name says it all. “ " No one has ever seen your face. “" That's because my father hid me carefully. “ She shrugged. " I was once part of the kidnapped kids at Pietro's estate. “" You were? “" That's in the past. I'm feeling light headed."“ I'll leave you to rest." “ Thank you mob boss." She winked. Draco left the
Sapphire was already half an hour late for an appointment with a big shot company. She drove roughly into the drive way and didn’t wait for the car to stop before coming down. “Lady watch it.” A lady screamed as she almost hit her.“ Sorry.” She said as turned off the car. “I’m in a hurry.” She said as she ran into the company’s building.“You’re late.” Clyde said when she met him at the hallway. “ They went into the elevator together and Clyde tapped the top floor.“I know. Did you keep them busy?” She pouted.“You’re lucky you’re the best in the industry. ““I’m glad I could keep them. I still have to pay my boss for the damages.” She sighed.“Why don’t you just quit that job? You have enough to live off for now.” Clyde said thoughtfully and she glared at him. “That job is the only thing keeping the police off my back. Do you think if I wasn’t working as a bartender I wouldn’t have become a major suspect?” She scoffed.“You’re a licensed scientist. No one would suspect you that ea
Clyde parked his car a bit far from the hotel. He came down from the car first so Sapphire could change into the whore’s attire. They had taken her on the way to the hotel and sedated her. Sapphire came out of the car some minutes later all dressed. She was putting on a short body hug gown that exposed her cleavages and she applied heavy make up.“Wow! All this in twenty minutes.” Clyde teased and she rolled her eyes. “You’re coming in five minutes after I go in.” Sapphire said.“How do I open the back entrance without you?” Clyde pouted and she scoffed.“I already gave you the coordinates. Fix yourself.” She said and walked away. He waited for five minutes before going in too. Immediately he entered through the back, Draco’s car parked a few steps from his.“Good evening, miss. How may I help you?” The receptionist at the desk asked when Sapphire walked in. “I’m here for Mr. Lorenzo.” She said with an Irish accent.“Hold.” The receptionist said as she made a quick phone call. “Roo
“Hahaha. Do you miss your friend that much?” Draco’s voice sounded loud over the phone.“Why are you with Sapphire’s phone?” Clyde asked. He could tell who was talking just from his voice, he’s been threatened with a gun by that guy.“Funny question. Since you were the one who led me to her.” Draco chuckled.“I led you to no one. Where is Sapphire?” Clyde asked. “She’s in my custody. If you wanna save her, convince her to work for me.” Draco said.“Why would want to work for you?”“Because I’m the boss. Convince her or she’ll remain in my custody until she agrees to work for me.” Draco said sarcastically.“You let her go or I.....”“Are you threatening me?”“Let her go. Take me instead.”“But you’re not the computer genius are you?” “Please let her go. I’ll convince her.”“You can come see her tomorrow alone. Any word about this to the police and she’s dead. I don’t have tell you…..”“I know.”“Good. We have a deal.” Draco said and hugged up.Clyde sat on the floor weakly when the c
Draco took Sapphire back to the empire and locked her up in the room he prepared for her. He went to the training ground to supervise the new recruits who were brought in yesterday.“Hey Draco.” Knife called running towards him. His face hardened immediately he saw her and he turned to leave.“Did she just call him by his name?” Pierce, the assistant head analyst asked.“She has got some guts.” Molly, the head analyst scoffed.“Draco.” Knife held his right arm and he pushed her off roughly.“I’ll take the first time as a mistake. The second, stupidity. Touching me, a death wish.” Draco said with red eyes.“I wanted to talk to you about something.” She pouted.“Are you crazy?!” Draco yelled and she gasped.“What’s going on here?” Derrick asked as he walked in and Knife ran to him.“I tried to talk to him and he lashed out…..” She lied.“Boss, that’s a lie. She called Lord Draco by his name and she held him with her filthy hands.” Pierce said.“Baby they’re lying…..”“You did not only d
