Calix shouted, channeling all of his bottled-up emotions toward Drew like a furious bull. "You asshole, who do you think you are?! I told you to stay away from her, didn't I? You really don't heed my warnings, Valentino; do you want to die?" James is doing everything he can in order to prevent his best friend from harming Drew and from causing a commotion that could alert their leaders. He is grumbling, "Calix, stop this. Fuck it! You know we can't make a scene around here, especially not when Giovanni and your father had just signed the partnership." But he doesn't care at all. Calix has had it with Drew, and he doesn't care anymore how his father would feel about this because all he ever wanted to do was put a bullet in Drew's head and kill him at this exact moment. "I am going to fucking kill you today, jackas

"Why would he decide on doing something like that? Why would he bring me back to Italy without bothering to ask me in the first place if I wanted to? He pushed me into this marriage; why is it then that he is deciding for me again? Fuck this life!" Kaira shrieked with anger the moment she had the chance to speak to her cousin. The mere idea that she and Calix will be parting ways makes her feel like she might begin crying in front of Enzo, even if she doesn't want to. All Enzo could do was give his cousin a hug while attempting to comfort her. "Kai, I know you are upset and furious about this, but try to remain calm. We don't want to bring your father and Luca into the picture right now. Besides, you should have expected that your father would do something like this," he said. Kaira let out a deep breath and sank back into the chair, exhaling a defeated sigh.

Kaira pointed out, "So how was it? Did everything went well with your work?" She has been dying to have this conversation with him. "Yes, sweetheart, all is well done. Everything has been taken care of properly. How about you? How's everything?" he answered excitedly. He has been waiting all day to have this conversation with her. "Just like yours, everything went well. Enzo and I just came back from a tiring day, but all is well." "Perfect then. Now that work is over, we can focus on each other." A giggle escaped her lips as he heard what Calix had to say. She is becoming more and more like a fool in love whenever she is having a conversation with her husband, but who can blame her? This is all new to her, and she is basking in the wonderful feeling that this emotion has to offer her. "You are crazy, Cal." "I am crazy about you, hon. What about you?" "What about me?" she retorted, biting her lip to stiffen the giggle that was about to come out again. She doesn't want to be all

"I would really like to apologize, Kaira, that I have to be the one to bring this news to you. You know how much I wanted for you to be there. I have prepared you to be there, but you are also aware that there is absolutely nothing I can do to change the circumstances, but really, to set things straight, I still do not want it to be this way, and I tried to persuade him otherwise." Since Kaira had been anticipating this, she wasn't equally taken aback when Alex came to her office and gave her the news—or more precisely, her father's orders that Enzo and her would not be joining the troops in their biggest shipment. "It's okay, Alex. It is not as if I am not anticipating this at all. I know that he would give orders that would refrain me from taking part in this. And to tell you honestly, I am becoming quite confused with my father nowadays; he wanted me to le

Both Luca's squad and Giovanni's camp have had their men on high alert since a few days ago. They have been going back and forth, finalizing everything there is to it for this day, and today is the culmination of all their preparations. Today is another one of those rare and perilous days when everything needs to go exactly as planned. The leaders of the two gangs are expected to be present on this significant day, as it will be their first legally binding shipment as alliance partners. For both crews, security is the top priority. The fulfillment of the shipments is also uncertain, in addition to the lives of the bosses, and that is why outmost diligence and preparedness should be exercised at all times. Nobody should make a mistake, because if they do, they will be punished in the most severe way possible. In o
