Wade crouched behind a wall, a gun strapped to his side. He looked opposite to where his friend and assistant, Mark was and motioned for him to follow him.
"Are you sure this is the correct place? I hope we don't get our brains blasted off," Mark grumbled while loading bullets into his gun.
"What are you talking about? We have the advantage of sneak attack here," Wade said rather arrogantly.
"Your fighting skills are better than mine. No wonder you can boast," Mark replied matter of factly.
Wade ushered Mark and two more men dressed in police uniforms to follow him into the building.
Within seconds, gunshots were fired, bullets whizzed through the air in a deadly fight.
The air smelt of gunpowder and the metallic scent of blood was noticeable. In the dark night, the place was eerily quiet except for a nightclub that was blaring lights and music in the distance.
Wade would have much preferred to put his feet up by the fireplace and munch on a bag of Lays but unfortunately, something terrible happened.
"If it wasn't for proving myself to that old man, I wouldn't be here," Wade mumbled under his breath, thinking back to when he gave up the position of CEO to become a mere police officer.
Suddenly a bullet whizzed narrowly missed his head and hit the metal bar behind him.
"Chief, we have been detected!" One police officer called out.
"Well, shit. We have a rat," Wade smiled calmly. He counted one to three before he came out of his hiding spot and spun around, putting bullets into the legs of the people who were approaching them silently.
Cries and groans were heard as Wade calmly took them all down in a flash. Mark was struggling to keep up with him.
"Whenever it comes to busting criminals, the boss sure has extra energy," Mark mumbled under his breath.
"Did you see our man?!" Wade yelled.
"There's too much bullet! I can't find him!" Mark yelled back.
"Wade!" Mark cried out and pointed to one of their men who got shot in the leg.
"Cover me!" Wade dodged an oncoming bullet, grabbed the injured officer by the collar and quickly pulled him to safety.
Many minutes later, the sound of a siren could be heard from outside the building. The gang members were stunned and shocked! The building had been surrounded by the police in a matter of seconds.
"Put your weapon down. You have been surrounded. Any attempt to fight back would be seen as a threat and shall be taken care of immediately!" A man thundered on a loudspeaker. The gang members had no choice but to drop their weapons and put their hands up.
Wade walked towards the man with the loudspeaker as many cops rushed out from their vehicles and quickly apprehended the criminals.
"Wade!"
"Sargent Baxter! Good to see you!" Wade smiled gleefully.
"These are small criminals. But nevertheless, good job! Where is the suspect that was caught on camera?" Baxter asked, giving him a questioning look.
"Oh, yes.... Now I remember," With that, Wade quickly ran off in the opposite direction. He was too caught up with catching the criminals that he had forgotten about the main reason he was here.
Wade ran to the backdoor as quickly as he could, the wind pounced on his face as he kicked the metal door open.
He lifted the gun to his eye and fired a bullet, shooting accurately at a sports car's tyre. The sportscar made a sudden turn and crashed into the bush.
In the next second, a gun was pointed at the driver. Wade casually wiped his sweat with his sleeve and grinned.
"Sir, come with me. I have some questions for you," He placed a hand onto the man's shoulders.
"S...sir, please I don't know anything! I'm not involved!"
"We have evidence. You are charged for the missing case of Edward Mattson, CEO of Mattson group. You have the rights to remain silent and the rights to a lawyer,"
In the police station.
"These guys are from the Domino Gang. They may be a small gang but I heard that they had a powerful figure backing them up," Mark spoke to Baxter as they stood in front of the interrogation room where the suspect sat without saying a word.
"Where's the suspect?" Wade walked into the police station and asked. A few female cops drooled at the sight of his handsome appearance and muscular arms.
Mark pointed to the interrogation room. "He's not saying anything,"
"Boss, you have a visitor," one female officer said and smiled sweetly at Wade.
"I'm jealous. Why do you have to be so popular with girls?" Mark said enviously with a sulking expression.
"What can I say, I'm charming," Wade laughed and went to his office where a middle aged man was waiting for him.
The man, upon seeing him striding towards him. The man was dressed in an exquisite suit and carried an aura of a nobility.
"Father," Wade greeted him as politely as he could.
"Well, what have you found after running around with a bunch of insolent people you called your trusted partners?" His father, Henry spoke with disdain.
Wade smiled as if he didn't hear him insult his comrades. "We have found the suspect who was with your business partner before he went missing. I believe this case will come to end soon,"
"Heh! Come to an end? Do you think it's that easy, Wade? You have three days! Three days! If Edward Mattson doesn't come to the meeting, the deal between the two companies will be forfeited and the loss will be huge! Can you take responsibility for that?! " Henry sneered, eyes burning with rage.
Apparently the father and son were estranged and often at loggerheads with each other. Henry wanted Wade to take over the company and become the next CEO, but Wade refused and chose to become a cop. Thus choosing to start his own career by doing a low paying job. Because of that, Henry was taunted and mocked by his friends and business rivals for having a useless son.
And by doing so, Wade had failed his father's expectations and caused the old man to swallow his pride.
"Your grandfather is looking for you!" Henry said angrily before he left.
Why was his grandfather looking for him?
Suddenly, Mark burst through his office door, panic written in his eyes before Wade had time to think about his grandfather.
"Boss, the suspect....."
Hello dear readers! so glad that you guys took the time to read my book! The journey with Wade and Vincenzo is finally finished! Let me know your thoughts in the comment section. Thank you so much for reading and accompanying me on this journey. I have a few books coming up. please follow me on my I* and F* author_zuiguilang for more updates. one of the books will be about Francesca Luciano and Gianpaolo De Santis, called To Tame my Mafia husband. Here's the blurb as a little spoiler. She ends up taming the ruthless Mafia's heart. Francesca Luciano was forced to marry a man whom she had never met. Rumors said that he kills without batting an eyelash. Burnt down buildings and massacred people who went against him. Kidnaps girls because he's a slimy old pervert. To escape from this forced arranged marriage, Francesca tried every trick in the book. But she didn't expect her slimy old pervert husband to have dangerously sharp jaws, piercing grey eyes and strong tattooed hands th
"Wade, I have something to tell you," Vincenzo sounded serious. Not the usual teasing or casual talk. "What is it?" Wade asked, cautious. Was this about Salvatore? Though he didn't know what happened to him, he understood that Vincenzo was having a hard time taking control and proving himself. After all, many doubted Vincenzo, especially after he announced to them that he liked men. He may have gotten their approval and earned their respect, but not all sincerely trusted him. If Vincenzo had to leave for Italy or other countries, maybe go away for a few months, Wade would accept that. He accepted everything about Vincenzo. He embraced it all. If this was about Francesca, Wade would help him find her. He saw Francesca as his own sister. Now that she was missing, he wouldn't hesitate to search everywhere for her. Even if it means revealing that he was in love with a Mafia Don. Vincenzo lowered himself, getting down on one knee. "W-what are you doing?" Wade stuttered, eyes wid
The six dons watched the father and son's squabbling. Some with interest, some bored. While some were enraged that Vincenzo brought a man, a cop, one of the dons looked amused. "I don't want to waste time and play games with you, father," Vincenzo spat the word father with so much hatred like venom dripping from his tongue. He pulled out a folder and tossed it across the table. Papers and photos spilled out of it, scattering across the table. Don Ricci gasped. And another don, Vitale, turned ghastly pale. The veins in Salvatore's forehead twitched as he stared at the table, the documents and photos that spilled out across. The evidence of the unspeakable things he'd done and buried many years ago. The dons and their bosses exchanged glances, tension thick in the air. Don Ricci gripped his cane so hard, his knuckles turning white. "Salvatore, you!" He picked up a photo and slammed it firmly in front of Salvatore. Salvatore growled at Vincenzo. "You piece of shit! How dare you b
"I...I... I think over there," the cashier pointed at the fridge, shivering. Vincenzo ran over to the freezer, pulling it open. The large freezer had many sections. Vincenzo ran down each section, calling for Wade until he stopped in his tracks. His heart nearly stopped beating. "Wade! Wade? Baby, can you hear me?" Vincenzo's heart thumped so hard against his rib cage. Fear slithered down his spine as he touched Wade, took him in his arms and checked his heartbeat with a shaky hand. Ba-dum. Ba-dum. A sigh escaped Vincenzo's lips. Thank God he was still breathing but faintly. He placed his hand under Wade's knees and back, carrying him out of the freezer. When Wade regained consciousness, he found himself on a white bed. He looked to his right and saw Vincenzo leaning his chin on his palm, eyes shut. He tried to get up but a searing pain shot through his entire body. Then he remembered that his thigh had been shot. "Don't move," Vincenzo sat up. "Sorry, I woke you up," "Don't
“Where’s Vincenzo?” Salvatore casually asked, sitting in his grand, luxurious house.“Boss, he’s at his penthouse. Staying with that cop. I heard the cop has retired,” Josh said.“Retired? Does he think that by quitting his job he can be with my son? A leopard can never change its spots. He made Vincenzo break the taboo,” Salvatore spat.“What should we do, boss?”A malicious smile spread across Salvatore’s face as he beckoned Josh over.---Vincenzo respected Wade’s space. He didn’t order his guards to follow behind Wade too closely.Having more free time on his hands, Wade decided to learn how to cook. He walked into a supermarket, found an empty cart, and began dumping foodstuffs into it.He was about to pick up a bottle of wine when he noticed something in the mirror at the corner of the supermarket.A gun!He quickly jumped back and bent down as bullets pierced through the air.“Damn! Salvatore really wants to kill me!” Wade’s back hit the shelf, causing the bottles on it to ratt
“Father,” Francesca called the moment she stepped into Salvatore's house.The house reeked of luxury. Ancient, but spoke volumes of power.“My dear,” Salvatore’s face lit up. “Come here.”He beckoned her over with a smile.She walked up to him.“Sit, dear. You’ve come to see me. What is it for?”There was a knock on the door just as Francesca was about to open her mouth. A bulky guard appeared, looking grave.“Wait here. I’ll go see what’s the matter,” Salvatore said, getting up and exiting with the guard.Once alone, Francesca decided to check his study for anything useful. She spotted his phone on the desk.Unlocking Salvatore’s phone was a piece of cake for Francesca. She knew his password. One time, she sneakily peeked at his screen when he was typing it.The phone unlocked with a click. A notification of a new message popped up. She tapped on the notification and read through his messages, including the old ones. Francesca’s fingers trembled as she scrolled through them.Salvator
