~~Two months later~~*****Leo POV*****Lilly town in Asherway Two months has passed since I found out where Niki is. I thought that knowing where she is would at least make me feel better, but I was wrong. I am going crazier now than before. That’s why I am executing the most stupid abduction in the history of DBS emperors. Niki is having too much fun in Leap but I know how much she loves her father. Nick is the only person she will return willingly for. I am going to force her to.Owen has tried talking me out of it but this is the only way. Getting off the car, I head straight to the Davi graves. Nick is so confident in his abilities that he does not even have a guard around. My luck. “Booi,” he says without turning his head to look at me. He does not sound the least surprised that I am here.“Let’s go,” I say and point a gun at him. He gets up without saying a word and walks in front of me. This is too easy. This is the mighty Nick Davi. The boggy man who terrified our childho

*****Nikita POV*****Hunter and over fifty of our men walk in and fill up the reception area. All in black with leather coats and gloves, mean looking and heavily armed, they claim the space and own it. All the company employees are now out of their offices watching and our stupid boss is literally shaking. I get off my seat and they all simultaneously go down on one knee and bow their heads. Shit! Now I look like a real mafia boss.I walk towards them and stop in front of Hunter with a sinking heart. The fact that they are here kneeling in front of me means that Leo was telling the truth. Father is no more. “Speak.”“Your father was executed yesterday,” Hunter says. I don’t fall apart. The pre- warning Leo gave me and that brief period of recollecting myself was a blessing. The worse thing I can ever do is break down now in front of these men who are now under my command. “Who did it?” My voice is calmer than I feel. I want to scream and tear everything down. Hunter shakes his

*****Leo POV*****Seeing Niki a day before in Leap has raised an almost unbearable need deep in my soul. I need to see her, talk to her and hold her in my arms. I knew when I flew to Leap that I would not be able to see her long but I still had to. That brief moment was everything and I hope it felt the same way for her too. Not only that, it was important that she got to recollect herself before her men arrived. Most of them will judge her by how she responded to the news, that’s why I had to break the news to her first before they arrived. The kiss was a bonus prompted by seeing her luscious lips so close to me again. I just couldn’t resist. She did not kiss me back, I must have caught her by surprise but the familiarity left me wanting more, so much more. Our three days of passion in Palmland all came back to me. It’s all I thought about on my flight back. I know that her plane landed an hour after mine. I was disappointed that she did not use her bedroom though. I waited to see

*****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

*****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
