“Did you say something?” The man turned around, only his eyes were visible to her, and spoke, “No” and tried to walk away. “You said that name. Why?” The man turned to look at her uninterested and spoke. “Just a friend I remembered. Is your investigation over yet?” Natalie didn’t say anything as that man walked away. She looked at him trying to remember if she had seen him somewhere but No. she had seen pictures of Maxim, his friends, her aunt, or any close friends of theirs but no one looked like him. Plus he looked a bit younger, around her age. Who was he? Did he really say that name out of pure coincidence? Or was it some kind of clue? She took one last glance at him and walked out but she would keep an eye on whoever this man was, just in case. || Roman fumed in anger after he got to know what Adrian was talking about. He planned to get back at. He planned to blackmail him into coming back because he did need Adrian. It was true when he said it was him who handled a lot
Natalie and Adrian along with Isaac had decided to create chaos within the Smirnov's gang. Adrian knew how many were unhappy about Romans' anger issues. How he would kill them in a blink without even thought just in anger. And that is what they plan on doing now. Break the gang from within. It was somehow the same as they did with Lucas. But this time Adrian was going to get the support of the gang members. He already had some men who still trusted him despite the rumors Roman spread about him. It wouldn't take them much longer, Adrian would break the gang in two those who supported him and others who were with Roman, and then Natalie would make sure to destroy Roman's territorial business. Just so he would be distracted and this will further deepen his rage which he will take out on his own team. Adrian had gone out to set the plan in action while a group of men along with Isaac followed after him from a safe distance. Adrian indeed needed protection too, his father could no longe
Next day Natalie had gone out to find out about that mysterious man. She needed answers. She had a strong feeling, maybe even a hunch if you call it that, that man could lead them to something. She didn’t tell about it Adrian yet or anyone as a matter of fact. She had to be sure of it herself first. Adrian had again gone out to some places. He was silently forming an army, even if they might not ever be able to clear out the rivalry, the extreme loathe they could always abolish all of them. Destroy it completely for once and all. He needed support as much as he could gather. He already knew so many weak links of the Smirnov’s gang. And that's what he was going to attack at, by breaking their links even the smallest ones, and finally, everything would be divided into fragments that could no longer be brought together again and united. Adrian got out of the car and walked to a small liquor shop in an alley. He had made some deals with them too, they were in charge of a lot of illega
Adrian was driving back to look for Leonid, but on his way, he got a call from Leonid. He picked it up knowing very well, that it wouldn't be his friend speaking. "What the hell did you do to him?" He growled in anger the moment he answered it. Roman chuckled on the other side as he slowly were, enjoying this moment all he could. "He is just taking a nap. But I would keep my fingers crossed that he won't die from all that blood loss. He spoke showing fake sympathy. Adrian's grip on his phone tightened. He clenched his jaw in anger but didn't say anything. He knew what Roman wanted, and this is how he planned on getting it. "I see you. You already know what I want. Meet me at the warehouse near the church in an hour." Roman's tone was dark in the end as he said so and ended the call. Just then he saw a message come from someone on Leonid's phone. They had already checked his phone but there weren't many numbers and all were unknown and they couldn't find out who owned them. But t
As Roman called in a second Natalie picked up the call. She had an idea who this would be. But the fact that he had called her, she felt like he knew. He got to know the secret. "Natalie." He stated. Just by the assurance in his tone, the smugness as if he had the upper hand in this situation and definitely the anger hidden beneath the layers, she knew he knows everything. Natalie was fuming in anger, already. "What do you want from me?" She asked in a cold harsh voice. Roman chuckled again, but in a mocking way. "I said I will kill you didn't I?" Natalie didn't say anything she remained quiet. "You say a lot of things you fail at Roman." She snarled back. Right now nothing really mattered anyway, he was going to do what he wanted to. The only thing she could do was make him release his anger, and hatred on her. She would be ready to face anything if it meant everyone else she loved was safe. Roman growled in anger, as he harshly spoke. "I will make you beg me to kill you,
Adrian looked at men coming at him with absolutely no fear at all. He was ready to give them a fight. A man charged at him but Adrian punched him hard. It was so strong that the sound of a crack could be heard in the room. Now his expression was no longer blank. They were lethal, cunning, and sparkled with something very dark. Seeing how he easily beat their best fighter, they gulped and charged at him together. Adrian punched them and elbowed those who tried to attack him from the back. His moves were fast and lighted with ferocity. His eyes were narrowed as he took in the moments of all who tried to attack him, as his lips were tugged in a sneer just by looking at them. But then more men came, seeing how he was able to take over the few. This time they were successful in punching him, and hurting him but Adrian still didn't give up. He would step forward again to fight them. Getting impatient with him some men gripped his arms while some came forward and punched his abdomen again
Roman chuckled as shook his head. “Fine” he muttered as he walked back. He nodded at his men who came forward and stepped towards them. Adrian glared at them ready to fight, Natalie tried to step onward as well but Adrian raised his hand at his side stopping her from coming anywhere near. She could feel the rage radiating off him. And didn’t push it anymore. Then again the men started hitting him and he fought back as much as he could. But this time they brought iron rods with them seeing as he was not giving up. A man hit his back with the rod out of nowhere, Adrian shut his eyes tightly as pain spread on his back, but he did not even utter a word or groan. Natalie gasped and this time she did not remain standing, she couldn’t see him get hurt like this. She turned that man harshly and then punched him in the jaw. He fell back to the ground and glared at her. But now all the attention was on Natalie. The members of the Smirnov gang already hated her, and now looking at her guts
As they looked at each other all they could remember was last night, how happy they were, how it all changed in a snap of a finger. Flashback Entering inside he found Dimitri and Leonid playing chess while Natalie and Isaac both seemed to be having a discussion about something over the phone. Thomas and Timofey were no were to be seen, but their slight giggles and whispering could be heard all around the place. He looked at them and sighed, all of them, their safety was his first priority... Later that night when they went to bed, Adrian was slightly relaxed as they had now planned what to do next, and if everything went their way they would win soon. He closed his eyes sighing and relaxed. As he turned to face Natalie. He thought she was asleep already as she was silent, but she was looking at the ceiling thinking something carefully. It was when he wrapped his arm around her waist to push her closer to break her chain of thoughts. She looked at him with curious eyes since she h
