"Was she always like this?." I asked Alec, pointing toward twins who sat opposite each other. I don't know the kind of person she was or what she has been through, all I knew was that their father took her when she was little. "No. Andrea was a good girl, she was quiet and had no problem with anyone. It depends on what has happened to her." But she acted like she owns the world, she acted so stupidly. Well, I don't know yet. "Hey, that man...Fraser. I thought I killed him." He lit up a joint and inhaled, he puffed out the smoke and looked out of the window. "It's his son. He's only his successor. Don't worry, we've taken care of him." My eyes rose. "You killed him?." "No. He escaped but our men are trailing him as we speak." "But, he was supposed to think I was dead. I didn't kill his father…the man simply couldn't take the vodka." "That's not what killed him, Nora. Zavi used you that day to get rid of him. The man was greedy and had to die." "Zavi never told me this," I mum

Every man and woman in this hall was dressed in expensive dresses and suits. A massive orchestra played music in front of the ballroom but no one danced yet. I noticed the way people looked at me and Zavi, all giving a nod before passing by.We settled down on a couch as a waiter served us wine. But I didn't wanna drink now, at least not right now.I had a mission, we'll get to the wine later."Be careful of what you take, Nora. Some people are dying to kill you."I shrugged, "I know. They will all die before me."He smirked and relaxed beside me.I looked at the other couch to find Irene, William, and Becca, Becca's eyes and mine met and she smiled, then waved.I returned her smile before noticing a man in front of us."Philip Thompson.." Zavi called, standing up to greet him."Zavi Coville," The man standing, extended a hand for a handshake. The man was old, a young girl stood beside him, I felt the need to stand up and greet him too."Long time no see." He looked at me and back at

Zavi grabbed her by her arm and pushed her to William."I'm not killing her." He stated.I looked at him angrily, "Are you doing this because she's your ex?."His eyes widened, "No, Nora. There are so many things I'd like to do with her," I rolled my eyes and went to sit, looking from Mary to Zavi."Tell me, what do you want to do?." "I want to sell her to the French Mafia, I heard his visit to Dubai wasn't successful." I bit the tip of my thumb thinking."I know y'all are wondering what to do with her, but did you forget she's here because her boyfriend is dying to kill Nora?," Will asked us.Zavi shrugged, "That was part of my revenge." Mary began, "Okay, guys. I'm here, okay? If you let me go, my boyfriend won't bother her again but if you don't let me go, he…""He would do nothing, Madeline. Do you think your boyfriend is some important big man in the business?. The Fraser Clan is nothing without me, I'm letting him go because they made my business flow well in Scotland." Zavi

Zavi's pov.I drove home with speed after I got the text from an unknown number, I knew it was Andrea telling me something was happening to Nora. I reached the sitting room and grabbed Will from behind. "Where is Nora?." I asked, my eyes gradually flaring up with anger. "She's at Sean's party." He replied, almost immediately. My heart tightened as I clenched my fists, "You let her go to Sean's party?." "Nora wouldn't listen to me, she just left.."I grabbed my gun out of my trouser and pointed it at his face. Alec quickly blocked my way, "Hey man. It would be fine if we do this some other time. Like right now, Nora needs our help more than anything." I bit my bottom lip and lowered my gun, I walked out on them quickly.I drove to the venue where Sean's party was, determined to blow off someone's head. The rage I felt inside me was gradually building up inside me, all I could think of was seeing Nora. I walked into the music-filled place, passing by many people as my eyes darte

I sat on the bed of Alec, watching Becca stand in front of his picture. The death which befell us was still fresh in our memories. I felt like I'm being cursed or something. Everyone who ever loved me died one after the other. If I hadn't left that night, if I had listened to William, I wouldn't have been taken by Don Lucien and Alec wouldn't have died. "He loved you very much." She sniffed and turned to look at me, her eyes were swollen, and her face was pale."He loved everyone, Becca," I stated."I know right? He's ever put everyone first before him, never had he experienced happiness. Alec had feelings for you, a feeling that he can never share with anyone. He talked about you all the time, he had you in his heart all day, have you ever spoken to him about his feelings for you? Have you ever acknowledged those priceless feelings?.``"Words don't cut it in terms of these things, I have loved him like a brother, Alec knew that," I answered, feeling a pang of guilt in my heart."Don
