VERNERO POV“Miss Jones, it’s so good to see you.”The little American woman gushed over Leigh-Ari who stood in front of her, beaming with the biggest smile etched on her face. Lorenzo, Xander, and I exchanged confounded looks as we all watched the mutual exchange between a gang of women and Leigh-Ari. She was smiling and laughing with them as if nothing had happened. It was as if there was this switch she flicked on and all of a sudden, she was a bubbly, happy person again. But something about the way she exaggerated it all told me it was all but a façade, and that she had a role to play. No matter how much we may try to get her to be her old self, there was never a time we were going to go back to those days. I just knew it. What had happened changed her completely, and I was dying to know how I could make everything right again. We were all dying. I could see it in everyone’s eyes; we were dying with helplessness and great defeat.“Everyone, meet Vernero, Lorenzo, Val, and Laura.

DISCLAIMERI AM SURE ALL OF YOU HAVE NOTICED, THAT ARI IS NOW BEING ADDRESSED BY HER REAL NAME. SO DON’T GET LOST IF YOU SEE HER IDENTITIES BEING LOOPED AS THE STORY GOES BY.RARE~~~LEIGH-ARI POVI stood on the terrace outside my bedroom facing the night sky and enjoying my bottle of whiskey. The glass was way too bothersome, and the liquor hit differently when I gulped it straight from the bottle. I had on my face, the biggest grin which I even thought my face was going to split into two. Me, motherfucking Leigh-Ari Montreal who grew up hell-bent about saving lives, either by nook or crook, a girl who would chomp off a damn head if anything got into my way of saving a life. I was always someone who would rain hell like a hurricane on anyone who told me anything about cartels because of how bloody they are. I used to flinch and shudder from the mere mention of cocaine, M&M, and shit. Yet here I was, with a smile of triumph after successfully cleaning 50 fucking thousand dollars, and

LEIGH-ARI POVReaching my bedroom, I found it well empty and was thankful for the momentary peace and quiet. I headed straight for the bathroom where I had the maid servants fill the tub to the brim with ice and then added a whole gallon of water to the mix. We have long kissed winter goodbye and whatever crap it carried along its back, during that time I was lying lifeless in a coma, but there was something about the cold that was just stuck with me. I don’t know if it made sense, but there was this sting about it that just met the brief with me, hence the cold baths. It was therapeutic in some way. After shredding the pieces of clothes off my body, I chanced a foot into the tub of frost, then stifled a moan that threatened to leave my mouth when the mind-fogging, invigorating chill sizzled across my body and engulfed me whole. I checked the bandages for the last time before diving slowly into the tub until my whole body was under the water with only my head above.Not wanting to let

VERNERO POVI watched her sashay out of the office in pure shock. Everyone in the office wore the same expression, and the room was stunned to golden silence.“Did anybody put a ring on that finger? Because I am putting an American fuckin’ Swiss right fucking now.” Xander gushed with a glee in his voice, and that's when everyone let out the breath they were holding.Was I angry? Hell no.I was so fuckin’ turned on that I had to do something with the big boner that was now tenting in my pants, ready to destroy the damn zipper and leap out to her. In all my life, I have never seen something so damn sexy like what I had seen. And that kiss, that damn kiss man.“Not before I do,” I remarked softly and took off, knowing damn well I had to call dibs on the seat next to her. Enzo sensed my motive and raced down behind me, leaving Xander perplexed in the office. Yeah. Sucks to share a woman with twins who shared more than just a womb.“Are you alright?” Enzo asked when we stepped out of the ho

XANDER POV“Just how the hell did the Russians know that we would be meeting the feds?”“I don’t know, Alexander maybe they are witches and they sent a bug that spied on us while we were planning out.” Lorenzo mocked shaking his head. On one of these days, I swear Leigh-Ari was going to remain with one man only.I brushed my face with my palms before glaring at the computers yet again; trying to find what the hell Owen was on to. Vernero stood with a hard face on his other side, not saying a damn word to anyone. I wished I could read his mind at this moment; at least I'd know that I am not the only one on the verge of losing shit.“There is only one way to lure the Russians.” That angelic voice boomed as she into the room, pulling in behind her the air of authority and fucking seduction. She was dressed in a white short dress, with white flats and her hair was done. I don’t know who told her to change her wardrobe, but white looked good on her. And that's the only thing I have seen her

VERNERO POVIt felt like an eternity sitting in the jet, but eventually, it came to descend to the ground and I was glad. We had quickly run over the plan, and everyone was well suited to their roles, but there was something that needed to be nailed before the plane could even touch the ground.“Ciello,” I said softly and he turned to look at me,“Yes, boss?” “You do not leave Ari’s side no matter what happens. If anything happens to her, or you even blink, I will yank your dick out of your ass and you will be sorry. Is that clear?” I asked and he snickered just a bit, before nodding and wiping the silly smile on his face.I trusted the man with my life, and I knew he would swallow a damn grenade if it came to that point, so long as I came off unscathed. Finding a loyal right hand was one thing, but finding a friend in a loyal right hand was something entirely apart. I was truly grateful to have him with me all along, and the fact that he always did everything I commanded without eve

CIELLO POVI said nothing. Not because I had nothing to say, trust me I had a lot. But I knew all the words that would leave my mouth were going to determine my fate. And at this point, I wasn’t sure if it would be ideal to die by HER hand, or at least by one of the bosses. I knew my boundaries, I knew where to draw the line and where to cross it, right about now, I knew it intimately that I was going to get in deep shit.One way or the other.“Hey you, ugly pants. What’s your name again?” I snorted laughter as she addressed the Mexican guy seating in the front seat with me, entrusted by Xander to protect her. There were four of us, and that was supposed to be low-key.“Chino, Senora.” He replied looking out through the binoculars in his hands. He wasn’t really ugly, he just had an awful style of dressing and heck. The name was fuckin’ befitting.“Okay. Now tell me this, Chino; can I trust you?” “Of course, senora.” He replied almost instantly, and I saw how hard he was trying to prov

LORENZO POV“Anything suspicious?”“Not up until now,” I replied softly to Xander while managing to keep my gaze at ease, roaming around easily and feigning surprise and awe, while in reality, I was trying to make out something. “Then we should climb up to our alcove,” Verzi called out, and I nodded following him closely behind. We climbed the stairs that took us to the second floor of the club, where the VIP booths were located overlooking the buzzing dance floor below. The whole club was on cloud nine, with loud pop music pouring out of the music system causing everyone to go wild. People were whooping themselves and gliding against wet, sweaty bodies on the dance floor. The heavy stench of sweat, alcohol, and cocaine reigned in the air. I may have been mistaken, but I could have sworn I caught a whiff scent of sex in the air. Chicago was indeed was it was known for. The Sin City.We arrived in our booth and barmaids were quick to be on our beg-and-call, ready to serve us rotten.
