*****Nikita POV*****Colton and Becca are more terrified by the blood oozing from my neck than being amongst the whole tribe of murderers. Them being exposed to all this is what fuels my already raging tamper. Leo had the audacity to show up in Leap, pretending to be caring and then turns around to do this!“Kill them all”I mean every fucken’ word. I came back to bury my father and had no intentions of going against any of them, but they had to push me into this. It was the same with my father. He became the devil because they killed his wife first, his retaliation earned him the nickname, but they made him that way. Well, I am the devil’s daughter and I will be damned if I let them get away with this. “No!”The objection comes from the person I least expected. Our man are confused by contradictory orders and turn to look at me for direction. Hunter is the one who has been giving them orders for a long time because he was Father’s second in command, but they are aware that I am the
*****Leo POV*****Madness is being worried about someone who has just given an order for all of us to be killed. Over three hundred mafia members all on the ground with Davi men holding their guns on our heads. My brain is screaming for me to stop fussing about Niki and come up with a plan to get out of this situation. I blink and shake my head a multiple times but the blood oozing from her neck makes it hard for me to concentrate. What the fuck possessed Luca to do this?My head is still spinning when Hunter objects. That’s a surprise. I would have thought he will be the first to start shooting. Niki is clearly not impressed with whatever the two of them are talking about. I can hear her anger rising but it seems Hunter is not aware. I know her too well. Soon she will be a furious daredevil none of us can manage and it happens. She is actually worse than her devil father when she’s angry and right now she is livid. The Davi men are shocked by her next move, but I am not. Her shootin
*****Niki POV*****~Two days after Nick Davi’s funeral~I toss and turn on my bed but can’t find a comfortable position. My stomach is cramping badly, I am sweating and I have a fever. “Are you okay, Kita?” Becca is really worried about me. It’s already midnight but she has not gotten to her bed because she’s been sitting next to mine and fussing over me. I shake my head and hold on to my cramping stomach. I can’t be in denial anymore, for the first time in my life I am definitely coming down with something. “I thought it would pass but it’s getting worse.”It’s no use pretending to be strong when she can clearly see that I am in pain. I have taken painkillers but it’s getting worse. “What can I do?” my angel on earth asks. I force a smile. I don’t know what I did to deserve such a caring friend. Becca’s gentleness and kindness is so genuine it makes me miss my mother. I never had a chance to get spoilt by her, most of her memories have faded but I am certain that she would have f
*****Leo POV*****I have a cast on my left leg and have to get used to walking with crutches. Riah thinks I deserve worse for spying on Niki for such a long time. She is starting to sound a lot like Owen these days. Just like we expected, Lucas was used to blackmail Luca into killing Niki. The poor kid was terrified by the time Owen picked him up from the police station. His abductors picked him from his university at gunpoint, forced him to call Luca and kept him in the boot of a van. He had no idea where they were taking him. It seems that the plan was interrupted by a random road block by the feds, forcing his abductors to desert the van, leaving him in the boot. It was when the feds searched the van that they discovered him tied up in its boot. This is, of course, what the feds are saying, but they lost my trust a long time ago. Lucas never saw the faces of his abductors. For all I know, the feds could have been the abductors and let him out when they thought Luca had done the jo
*****Nikita POV*****It’s been a month since my father’s death and my operation. I have been through a rollercoaster of emotions dealing with all my loss and getting used to being the boss. Colton and Becca have really been a blessing and a shoulder to cry on. There is also the part of someone trying to kill me, which has yielded very strange collaborations. I now call them the paranoid cripples. Leo and Hunter have strangely been sharing notes on this and I don’t know how I feel about it. Becca walks in the study with a huge smile on her face. “Morning Niki. You woke up early,”she says, while inspecting the files on my study desk. I can’t help but smile back. She is infectious like that. “I needed to get some paperwork sorted but all is done now.”I have been up since 4 o’clock this morning. Even though our banks have managers, I still have to go through and sign a lot of the documents. I had no idea how much paperwork father and Jake had to do until now. “Work, work and more wo
An hour later, we walk into BEAT and all eyes are on us. This takes me back to Leap. Everywhere we went there, people stared at us and the daring ones would us if we were supermodels. This would be followed by invitations to exclusive clubs and parties. Sadly, that will never happen here. By virtue of being a Davi, many would never want to be associated with me. Those who are tempted to get closer to us will be greeted by Hunter’s ‘don’t you dare’ look and immediately back off. “Welcome to BEAT, ladies and gentlemen. Table for ten?” A melodic voice I know too well welcomes us before making eye contact with Colton and blushes. “For three and point me to your manager,” Hunter says with a straight face and intimidating voice. He insisted on coming along and brought six men with him. “Hunter,” I give him a sharp look. The last time he asked for a manager in a restaurant I liked, I ended up being the only customer dining. Doing that today will defeat the whole purpose of getting out of
*****Niki POV*****Leo reclines back on his chair and crosses his legs while looking at me with a smug. This was supposed to be a day I get out with my friends not dealing with him and the emotions he evokes in me. I put on a straight face and look him straight in the eyes. “What are you doing here, Leo?”He chuckles, making his beautiful brown eyes dance. “Joining my woman for breakfast, I miss you.” his smoky voice sounds deeper and sexier than I remember. I hate that he looks too comfortable while I am an nervous wreck. “See how they cheated on me, Colt. I was so committed to him, I even fought away every woman who came near him back at school, except her. Stupid me thought they hated each other while all along they were sneaking behind my back.” Zanine sounds all wronged while leaning and resting her stupid head on Colton. I can’t believe this chick!“You two owe Zanine’s an apology.” Colton actually falls for this crap but I’m not one to take accusations like this lying dow
*****Nikita POV*****It’s the afternoon by the time we return home. The breakfast dragged longer than expected. Even though it did not go as I initially planned, we all had fun. Owen and Colton kept everyone entertained with their spicy stories and really hit it off. The two even exchanged contacts and planned to meet without us. but I suspect Owen is strategically trying to get to Becca. “That was fun,” I say, kicking off my shoes. “Of course it was,” Colton responds sarcastically. “Joining my woman for breakfast, I miss you,” he adds imitating Leo. I roll my eyes at him. I expected this. “Unlike you, I am not in denial about this.” Colton just won’t quit and Becca is giggling nonstop. I bet Becca has a lot of lovey dove theories about our breakfast. I ended up avoiding making eye contact with her the whole time we were at BEAT because of the witty looks she was giving me every time Leo said something to get to me.“Shut up Colt. Don’t forget that you sold me out to your girlfrien
