LORENZO POV
My phone beeped and my Sleep broke. I opened my phone.2.5 Billion Dollars were transferred into my foreign account. Money is never the problem for greedy prey, I thought.My back felt stiff. Last night 's events were like a ride on a donkey. I checked the time it was 3 in the morning. Walton's flight would land in 9Am.I got up from the couch. I called Stepheno and as soon as he picked I cut the call. His voice was not the one I wanted to hear first, especially in the morning.I texted Bruno to gather everyone at the table in two hours. We better go before she gets up. I know she wouldn't ask questions about us but she was smart enough to figure things out.I took a shower in my office and got dressed. I went to the kitchen and ate light food. I still needed to go through the plan once again.It's easier to do a risky job when you have nothing to lose but my mind was still not ready for this task. Though we are not entirely killing him but still I was feeling heavy for that man.I opened my laptop. I started checking the location of his flight after sometime I received mail. It was from an unknown sender. I didn't open it."Boss, we are ready," Rain informed. I closed my laptop. We walked towards the lift I entered and pressed Down. Slowly the hidden screen appeared. I pressed the code and the lift started taking us down.Nobody knew about this hideout. Only a few trusted people knew about this underground room. The lift opened and my team was ready waiting for me at the entrance.I walked out. If anyone ever finds out about this then there is no escape. We all will certainly die. Stepheno should get all the credit for this because he made sure to store all our wrong doings in records.With my security it's difficult for anyone to enter without my permission. We reached my favourite place, the weapon room. I made sure to keep all the imported weapons used around the world.Even though we were staging this mission we still needed to be fully armed. This mission is led by me but it may be a trap for us. We just have too many enemies.We needed air gears. Automatic sensors, smoke masks, silent guns. After we were done. I called them at the table. We checked the surveillance of Japanese hotels on which he was staying and airports to confirm he was arriving today.We hacked the Walton security to find the car arrangement and the transport route in which they were going to travel.It was difficult to enter a highly shielded system. Which was guarded with just too many fire walls. Even if I have the best hackers you could ever find in the world. They could only effort to get three minutes to collect all the information.One miscommunication would get us killed today because Walton wasn't coming alone he was together with his wife so there is a high chance the security will be much tighter.Lydia Walton the sole owner of Walton national disaster Relief committee not only that she is also the Director of Walton orphanage. Arnold Walton treasured Lydia Walton alton. One could see the love he has for his wife in his eyes.I put the gun on the side of my waist and it got covered with my suit. We were ready. I looked at the youngest one of my team DK and N. They looked so pumped up with the entire thing. It was going to be their first mission.We went up. Glad none of them were awake. I didn't have the will to go up and check on her. Stepheno definitely put the best security to take care of her.All six of them took the van while stepheno stepped on his wagon and I took my black mercedes. It was useless to take my sports car to a gunshots place.Airport was far away from our mansion. We need at least four hour ride to reach the airport including the traffic. We drove out of our mansion."Boss, what if we miss the time?" DK asked through wireless. I wanted to say it would be good if we missed it."Boss, they are with NCA" N informed. NCA is the American most powerful security team which works under the defence of Royal families."Loren, there is still time. You can rethink your decision" Stepheno seemed concerned he was desperate for me to back off. I wasn't going to return back."We'll follow what we have planned and leave. None of you are going to run leaving anyone. As a team I want everyone to be alert in every situation" I said to them through wireless."Yes Boss""Copy that Boss"We reached the airport and moved towards the back. We hacked into the surveillance. We disguised Sen like the aero drum workers to plant air gears in their cars. Out of everyone Kriss had the big responsibility today."Boss, they changed the route" DK informed me through wireless. I'm sure everyone heard because we all were connected."What? Where are they now" I asked him."Boss, 13 coming from 9 O'clock I will handle them. You all leave through the tunnel," Kriss said in urgency. I turned around and saw them, so I took my car and went towards the direction they were coming.Even if Kriss would handle them. I needed to buy time so stepheno and others could escape faster.I couldn't leave Kriss alone too. Stepheno and others were quick to run. My head hit my seat and my head bounced hard against it. They crashed my car. I removed my gun from my waist.They started firing bullets. I laughed at their foolishness. All of my cars were bullet proof. Try it fuckers."Boss, I think the firing had alerted the cops," Kriss told me.I pushed my door open. As soon as I was out before even they could fire at me. Kriss handled them. I counted and they were exactly thirteen.I saw Kriss running towards me."Boss, we need to leave." He said. I looked at the boys. They were young, maybe in their twenties. Some fuckers were using the younger kids into all these.I went closer to them, Kriss was yelling behind. I would behead Kriss if he killed them. They were young kids. I turned off the boy's body and he was shot on his right thigh. At Least he won't die. I checked all of them quickly. I'm glad the hospital will save them, none of them severely injured."Tell me who you work for?" I asked the boy who was hit on the arm. He didn't reply. He seemed scared he must be thinking I would kill him."I'll pay you more. If you come to me. Red147 D. Find me if you want a better life" I said to him but it was loud enough so all thirteen of them could hear.Kriss brought his bike and pulled me to sit on it. I saw the cops. They might have seen me too."Dammit" It was Kriss. He took a dangerous drift and next I saw we were on field. He was fast and they were faster."Surrender yourself if you fear the law" We heard them through megaphone. I don't understand the ducking rules they have. Like Criminals don't commit crimes to surrender."Take the forest. They won't come behind us in their cars" I said and Kriss followed with a smirk. Soon we were alone on the forest road.I believe some of them had seen my face. We were just thirty minutes away from the mansion. When I received an encrypted call from stepheno. He would only call through this when there was an emergency.I picked up the call and for the first ten seconds could only hear his panting. Did they get caught? But if this call is encrypted then it means he has reached the Mansion."Fucking speak" I barked through phone. I saw Kriss' body Shiver. Stepheno is not the person who would joke around. In fact he is more mature than me.After taking a whole minute he started taking deep breaths. It's better if we get to the Mansion fast because it seems like something isn't right."Faster, Kriss" I told him impatiently. We were going at max Speed but still it felt slow.Not after long we reached Mansion. All the men were alarmed ,some of them were even ready to fire a bullet. They looked like they were going for a war. I walked up to them and as soon as they heard my steps approaching them they turned around."Boss, there is an emergency" Kralo said he was my fourth in command. As we were having a conversation, Stepheno reached me and he pulled my arms.He looked scared. I could see fear in his eyes. It was my first time seeing him like this. He was not afraid when he was being cut off from our family but he was now."She ran away" His voice was heavy. First question which came to my mind was how? This Mansion has the best security. I was going towards my car to search for her. Nobody said anything, they were all looking at me for command."How did you let her escape?" I raised my voice at Karlo. I can't believe I was raising them so they couldn't even stop a young girl who was not even their size."If I don't find her before sunset. You all are fired" I shouted at them angrily. I was enraged by their behaviour. I couldn't take the risk of losing her again."Draven Statue is broken and his chest is stabbed with a knife," Stepheno said, confused. I stopped right there. Why was he bringing that up? Did Lyra do that? I did not have the time to waste now I already have wasted a lot."Send me the footage" I said and opened my car's door. I needed to find her.LYRA POV. Who is crying? Stop it.Again that loud voice.What are you injecting in me? "Lyraaa.." They take my name."Hmm." I say."Doctor..Doctor." someone yells.Stop being loud I want to say but before that I really want to see the face of the person who is shouting near my ear. "She opened her eyes." Mom.She was crying. I see dark circles around her eyes. "How are you feeling dear?" She asks and just then Dad comes beside her.The doctor comes in and checks on me. She gives a report about me and I hear her.I do feel weak because of the antibiotics in me. I was shot with two bullets. One of them just passed through my skin while the other Injured my arms. Right to be specific. There's a high chance that I won't be able to lift heavy things or work from them. I am happy because I never loved to work but a corner of my heart feels sad. After the doctors left. Mom cries her heart out telling me how I was knocked out for six days and how Loren went crazy seeing you lying in be
LYRA POV.It's the day we return back home. Three days here were the best days. Lorenzo feels like a family to me and I have discussed this with no one so far.It's just my feelings. I think it was the best decision to give him a chance. His anger is not in control fully but I know he will never take such measures on anyone."It's time to go, Sweetheart." Lorenzo calls me. I smile at him and walk to him."Can I kiss you?" He asks and that's the best thing about him. He never does something without my consent. "Hmm." I say. "I'll take that as yes." He says and kisses my lips. I don't think I have ever received so much love on a kiss.He never once made me feel like he was taking advantage of me but always showed me love and nothing else."Are you Miss Walton?" A sudden knock on my door makes my heart Jump out my chest."Jess, Yes I am in." I shout at the door. "Miss Walton is safe. I repeat, Miss Walton is safe. Secure the area." I panic when I hear his tone."Stay here." Loren says
LORENZO POV. Mr. Walton called me this morning when I was inside the warehouse doing my morning exercise. We tried everything on them but none of them gave us the name of the mastermind behind all this.The only thing they ever say is that he is someone closer than we think. Mr. Walton wanted me to get to his house as soon as possible. I know it was because of Lydia. After turning the whole world around we found her.She still hasn't explained to us why she was staying in such a place when she had everything. This made me doubt at her but Mr. Walton didn't look like he was leaving her there.I only help back because of Lyra. She has been dying to see her and after she went through I can't let her suffer more.If she wants something then she will get it. I reached the mansion. Nothing really changed except the security.Mr. Walton updated the security and I don't think anybody will ever try to sneak in. "Good morning Mr. Walton." I greet him. I see Lydia descending the stairs. I don
LORENZO POV.How dare he enter my territory without any fear and think I would leave him just like that.Here I am in Romania waiting inside the private jet to get the signal so I can enter the country without notice. "I don't think we will get more time." Beck says and he is right."I'm sure we will have enough time to finish him." I say and they all nod in response."I still can't believe you guys pulled out of the saloon. I have been maintaining my image and you guys trashed it today." Oreal said annoyed at us. Well she can't be blamed.The only girl who doesn't care about what people think is Lyra. I don't think anything is affecting her now. She is very busy now with the new project and lots of things.I really admire how she is giving her best in everything. I have seen her design and it's just amazing. Her design stands apart from everyone. "Great, 2 hours." Paul announces and I smile. "Get going boys." Stepheno calls out in sleep and we enter the Romania border. We have alr
LYRA POV. I was getting ready in my room and my mind wouldn't allow me to think about anything else. I trust whatever Dad told me but I still want to know the truth. I talked to Dad about Andrew and I am happy he helped me clear things about everything. I decided to call Andrew by his name because he didn't really deserve to be called father. Mom was on her way here that's what Dad told me so I didn't call her.I know what this meeting was about but there was this feeling inside me which was making me nervous for some reason. Lorenzo was going to be with me and I have to say. That movie night showed me a gentler side of him. He is an angry man but the way he is learning to control himself makes me happy.It's his progress and he is successfully completing it. I wonder if I will ever overcome my fears. I know my strength but I am also afraid of my weakness."Little Bud, are you done?" Dad asked from the door."Argh…Dad not again." I say looking at myself for the last time in the mi
RONALD WALTON POV. I have been thinking how to keep Lyra away from everything going on. I don't want her involvement in anything. So I have decided that it will be today.Today is the day I will announce it to the world. That's final I have decided."Good morning Mr. Walton." My P.A greets me through the call. "Good morning. I would like you to arrange an urgent meeting with the BOD and then I want the legal department and Planning department to be present in the meeting." I told him.Generally, I allow room for mistakes but today I don't think I will be able to tolerate anybody causing any mistakes."When are we planning to have this meeting? Sir?" He asked. I thought about it and calculated it roughly."3pm. Conference hall." I said and cut the call. If Stepheno is tapping my call I will kill that child this time."Send Stepheno in." I say and the phone starts ringing."Hello Mr. Walton" He greets."I will be visiting Lyra today." I say and he replies quickly."Dew will be accompan
