Somewhere in the city of new jersey, a group of men where busy shipping some weapons and drugs.
"Sir, the shipments had been completed." His Second in Command said at his phone.
"Well done, how about our other objectives?" A voice so deep answered.
"We already burned his headquarters, Sir. His brother is already dead and some of his men are quitting out."
A dark laugh was heard until the line went out.

Inka's Point of View
I heaved a sigh for the ninth time as I arrange some of my paperwork. I looked at my phone and there was still no notifications, no messages, not even some missed calls.
Read had been busy this past few days, our last encounter was when I was at his penthouse. Though he didn't tell me anything, I saw how determined he was when Wayne left.
After that day, he dropped me off at my condo unit, bid goodbye then left.
I don't even know why I'm being clingy towards him. I shook my head and focused back at my work. Maybe, I need to let out some steam since it had been a rollercoaster from a couple of days.
I picked my phone up and called Nova.
[Yow! What's up?]
"Hey! Uhm, do you have some plans today?"
[Hhmmm. Just gonna chill at my unit. Why?]
"Great! Wanna hit at the bar later?"
[Woah Woah! Are you alright?]
I chuckled. Wow, this girl really knew me.
"Yeah. Just stressed out."
[Okay then. I'll pick you up at your unit later.]
"Okay. Thanks, Nova!"
[No problem, girl!]
The call ended, I leaned back at my chair and turned around. My office has a wide view of the city so its kind of cool and relaxing to see it.
I stretched my arms and stood up. A beep startled me, I pushed the answer button as my secretary talked.
"Ma'am, an appointment had been received today saying that you have a schedule of a dinner meeting with Mr. Felix."
I heaved a sigh and pressed the button again.
"Cancel it or better yet, reschedule it. I have some plans for today." I answered
"Noted Ma'am."
I looked at the clock as it says 6:42 PM. I fixed my things and made sure that my papers are all in order then went out.
"David, you can go home now. Just make sure that everything is in order and please email me my schedule."
He nodded and smiled.
"Okay, Ma'am. Have a great night."
I walked towards my elevator and pushed the 6thB. The lowest basement is reserved for all of the staff and employees in my company.
The elevator goes *ding* and it opened, revealing the eerie parking lot. Only a few more cars are in here since most of my employee's out is 6PM.
I found my car and tried to fished out my keys at my bag but I can't find it. I opened my bag and put some of my things out.
Did I left it at my office? I remember putting it here after I locked my car door this morning.
"Miss."
I was startled by the voice behind me that I dropped my bag at the floor.
"Oh my-- Sorry. You just startled me." I chuckled and picked up some of the things that went out of my bag.
"Here, let me help you."
He picked up my phone and wallet and we both stood up.
"Thank you." I said and smiled at him.
He smiled back at me showing his little dimple.
"No problem. Also, I think this is yours?" He stated and handed me my car keys.
"Oh, where did you get this?"
"I saw it outside of the elevator door and your the only one who's here so I assumed that it was yours." He answered
I nodded but still confused. I didn't opened my bag when I was outside the elevator nor inside the elevator so how come I dropped it?
"Anyway thank you Mr--"
"Lee. I'm Andrew Lee." He offered his hand as I shake it.
"Thank You Mr. Andrew. I was looking for this and had become worried that I might lose it."
He chuckled lightly.
"Well good thing I found it. Anyway I should get going, I still need to meet someone."
"Oh, sure. Thanks again."
He waved his hand and started to walk away, I looked at his back and followed his movement until he was out of my sight.
He looks kinda familiar. Have I met that guy before?
I shrugged my shoulders and opened my car. My phone rang again so I answered it before starting the engine.
"Hello?"
[Where are you?]
"Read?" I asked. Unsure if its him since it sounds like him but the caller is not registered.
[Yes, now answer me. Where are you?]
"At the parking lot of my company. Why?"
[F*ck. Get out of there now! I'm on my way, meet me at the lobby just get out of there!]
"What are you--"
Suddenly the line was cut off and I feel nervous. I looked around the parking lot and went out of my car. Why do I feel like someone is watching me?
Chills ran down my spine. I glanced at my phone and saw that I have no service.
Okay, I really need to get out of here. A lady's instinct is always right and my instinct says get away from here.
I ran towards the staircase when I heard some footsteps running too.
"Aww don't run away from me, darling. I'm not going to hurt you." A deep voice say behind me.
I turned around and saw a man wearing a mask while pointing his gun at me. Fear and alertness crawl unto me as I looked around for a weapon to protect myself.
"You can't ran away now. Death is the only way out."
He was about to pull the trigger when I heard a gunshot coming from my back. I screamed as fear consumes my system.
"Oh God! Miss are you okay?"
My vision was blurry as tears started to stream down on my face, I looked at the one who killed my suppose to be killer and realized that it was Andrew.
"A-Andrew." I uttered as I tried to find my strength.
"Sshhh. Its okay. Your okay now." He whispered as he guided me towards the stairway.
"T-Thank you."
He just nodded and smiled.
"Who was that?" He asked, concern written on his face.
"I-I don't know." I answered honestly
"Do you know anyone who could have done this?"
I shook my head.
"Inka! Inka where are you?"
I looked up and looked around as I heard Read's voice.
"Read!"
The moment he saw me, he ran towards me and hugged me tight.
"Oh God! Are you okay? What happened?" He asked as he raked his eyes over me, checking if I am injured or not.
"I'm okay, Read. Andrew saved me." I said and pointed at Andrew who was looking at us.
I saw how Read's face turned into a serious and intimidating one.
"The Prodigy." He uttered
Andrew smirked and said a word I never heard before.
" The Berserker"
Inka's Point of View"Are you sure that you are okay?" Read asked for the hundred times, I rolled my eyes and laugh at him."Yes, Read. I am. Quit asking okay, I'll tell you when I feel something is wrong." I assured himHe nodded and continued driving. I leaned back at my seat and looked outside.Berserker? I wonder what that means.*Flashback*"What are you doing here, Andrew?" Read asked as he was eyeing Andrew like he did something wrong."Am I not allowed here?"Read didn't answer him, he just stared at him like he is reading him. His jaw clenched, fist tighten."No. Anyway we should get going, I'll see you at our headquarters." Read said and looked at him one last time before dragging me out of the parking lot.I looked back at Andrew and saw him smirked at our way then he turned his back and walked away.*End of Flashback*I took my phone out of my bag and opened my online dictionary. I typed 'Berserker' and a lot of meanings appeared but there is one thing that caught my attent
Inka's Point of ViewI looked around Read's Penthouse to find something that will lead me to know who Read is. I mean he is one of the billionaire in this country but I think there is more than just him being a famous rich guy.I opened a door and found out it was his office, looking around I observed that there are no cameras in here.I guess it is hidden. Knowing Read, he wouldn't just let his office off guard specially that this place have some important files and documents.I walked inside and tried to figure out what to do first. I acted like I was just looking around so that I wouldn't be caught sneaking in the camera.Okay, Inka think. Would you actually risk yourself and look around for some files in his table or get out of this room and just give up?I heaved a sigh and stretch my arms. Okay! Time to dig up some information.I started looking at his table, I found some documents about a certain company called Choi Enterprises. Oh, I guess this is the documents of his company.
Inka's Point of ViewWhat's with all of these guys and their nicknames. Like seriously! Prodigy? Alpha? Gentleman? Berserker?Maybe they have some group? A pop star group?"What's with the nickname? I heard Read was called the Berserker." I said as I chopped some onions and garlic."You don't know?" Joshua said as he took the last bite of his apple"Know what?" I asked and looked at him.He was just looking at me intently, like reading me. His eyes showed confusion then it became cold as he smiled a little."Its what we are called on our group of friends." He answered and nodded. He was like convincing himself more than me."Are you sure? Cause your face shows it doesn't." I commented and raised a brow at him.He just chuckled and shrugged his shoulders before turning his back and went to the living room."If you want to know something goes ask Read. He knows more than I do." He said and sat at the couch.He's right. I wouldn't even be in this situation if Read didn't take me out of my
Inka's Point of ViewI saw how his eyes flashed showing some glimpses of his emotions. Shock, confused, then pain after that it came back to his own dull and lifeless eyes."Where did you heard that?" He askedI sat up and looked at him."I heard it from Andrew, he called you that," I answered himHe sat back up and leaned back at the headboard, he heaved a sigh and just looked straight."Its a name with a dark story." He started"Can I know the story?"He glanced at me then looked straight ahead. He started talking, telling me the story as his eyes looked foggy. Like he was having his own flashback as he tell me every detail of that certain name."F-Father! I can't!" the little boy yelled to his father who was standing behind him.The boy was holding a sword, a perfect sword made for him to kill. To inherit the throne of his beloved father.His father went down to his level, gripping his both shoulders while looking at his eyes."Look straight into my eye, Read." His father whispered
Inka's Point of ViewI woke up with a feeling of a heavy thing on my waist. I groaned and opened my eyes.The sun shined through the window blinds, I heard a soft snore behind me and an arm wrapped around my waist.I turned around and saw Read's peaceful face. His hair was messy but besides that, everything about him screams perfection. I remembered what he said last night, I don't know if it was a dream or what but the feeling was beyond words. I smiled and kissed his cheeks. I carefully slipped out of his grip and hopped out of the bed, went to the bathroom to do some morning routines then went to his kitchen.I saw the dinner I made last night untouched so I reheated it at the microwave as I make some coffee. I wonder if he likes strong or creamy ones?When the food was ready, I fixed the table and prepared everything then went back up to his bedroom. I saw him still asleep and that's when I realized that he was topless.The blanket went down showing his perfect sculpted upper body
Inka's Point of ViewHours had passed, I buried myself in my paperwork. I didn't even go out to grab some lunch, just drank some coffee, and went on reading and signing.I didn't receive any calls nor text from Read too. I guess he was really busy as a billionaire and a mafia king.I had a lot of meetings coming up after lunch so I just fixed and wrapped everything that I had finished and organized those that still need some rereading. A knock interrupted my thoughts, I looked up and saw my secretary walking in."Ma'am you have a meeting with the supervisors in 30 minutes." He reminded and I nodded.I quickly took my bag and had some retouch before going out. My secretary followed me on my back and we went inside the audio-visual room.There stood my most trusted people around the globe. I know, I'm not just any ordinary millionaire too."So what're the details?" Nova asked as drank from my wine.The bloody red color of the drink was swirling around my glass, I raised my glass through
Inka's Point of View"You okay?" I heard Read asked as we entered his car, I shook my head, and he closed the door. He ran to the other side and went in, buckling his seatbelt. "You've been so quiet, I know there's something wrong here." He added while starting the engine."Nah, just a little dizzy from drinking," I answered yet he was not convinced.He looked at me intently, raising his thick brow."Fine!" I grunted and leaned back at the seat."What is it?" He asked once again and I heaved a sigh."Well while I was in the bar, I met Andrew--""You drank with him?!" He suddenly exclaimed that taken me by surprise."What? No! Let me finish first!" I yelled back at him, he f*cking rolled his eyes at me. Dang this man!"I met Andrew and Josh, okay! I didn't know they were there, I was with Nova and-- oh f*ck!" I exclaimed and went to search for my bag."What? What?!""I forgot to tell Nova that I left!"Dang! She's going to kill me! I took my phone out and immediately dialed Nova's numb
Inka's Point of View"You know you look good when you're blushing.""Ugh! Read! Stop it!"It had been a month since Read indirectly confessed to me and since then he's been making fun of me. He will always compliment me or kiss the top of my head just to make me blush because he finds it adorable!"Okay! I'm done fitting a lot of dresses! Please tell me that you have chosen something!" I frustratingly groaned and sat down at the nearby couch.He gave me a lot of dresses and gowns to fit because he needs me to be his lady at a certain Mafia Grandball. He rubbed his chin and raise a brow in my direction before he smirked and shook his head. I groaned as the door to my room opened and a group of women entered holding a bunch of new clothes for me to try on."Seriously can you just tell me the theme or what would be the color of your tie so I could pick something?" I said and looked at the clothes."No. Not gonna happen." He answered which earn a groan from me."Continue doing that and I'l
