LEIA’S P.O.VI stared at the content of the glass of tequila I was clutching in my palm. I laughed sheepishly and downed it all at once again. “Another... shot," I slurred as I pushed the short glass over to the blonde haired bartender. The command was becoming a mantra as I had rolled it out countless times already.“ I..I’m sorry ma’am, if you don’t mind, I think you’ve drank enough already, I mean this is the 11th glass...” The bartender said in an extremely mild voice. "Seriously?!" I blurted out. Rage like molten magma surged through me and I banged my fist hard against the counter. “Have you gone crazy? Who the hell are you to lecture me?" I barked out.The idiot flinched at my sudden outburst and went trembling like a jellyfish. “Umm N..n..no miss...I was just...” she stuttered. “Shut the fuck up and do your fucking job!" I yelled and she instantly got busy with the glass cup. Yeah, I know she was only trying to show concern and my reaction was absurd, perhaps would you blame

Jericho’s POVAlex and I left the gym house after I’d received a call from Alberto. Alex is my PA while Alberto is one of my henchmen whom I’d assigned different sections to root out those morons who either snitched on or betrayed the mafia. I had just got the Intel that one of such bloody rats had been nabbed in the United States. I instructed Alberto to handle him with the rest of my men while I came to finish. Clems is one of the traitors I’d been searching for hook, line and sinker but I kept getting bloody excuses from Alberto and finally for his sake he’d made himself useful. Well maybe some things indeed happen at the right time. I'd get some of my men to get the private jet ready and in less than an hour, everything was in place. I was fully dressed in my usual all black attire and same goes with Alex. “Aren’t we informing grande capo about this?” Alex inquired as we were making our way to the airplane, referring to my father. Before we got there one of the boys who were

Leia's POVMy head banged. My lips were dry and I felt sore down there. Slowly I flicked my eyes open but instantly shut them back. My mind was abruptly thrown into panic mode. The knight in shining armor I had met last night at the club was somehow on top of me!After gathering enough courage, I opened my eyes once more. The settings looked unfamiliar and I was at a loss. It took a while before my brain finally gave me information about what happened last night. I buried my face in my palm in shame. How could I have been so stupid? I had sex with a man I knew nothing about. He was dashingly striking, but I should have kept it together.Pain ripped through my heart as I remembered how it all played out. I remembered it vividly, I threw myself at him because I was drawn to him. Above all, I did this because I couldn't bear to give out my virginity to the mafia boss my father had arranged for me. "You are wrong Leia, this makes no sense," I lectured myself and rage surged through me.I

Jericho’s pov, Bullet beads of sweat dotted every part of my body as I raced on the track. My mind was preoccupied.I had sent down my men to find the woman I met in America, the one who crushed my impotence but the report was negative.My whole fantasy came to an end when my father brought up his alliance with Vatos Locos…he wanted me to get married and he's damn serious!I grunted and sped up as my thoughts became jumbled.My ears picked the sound of footsteps approaching and I turned in a sharp pivot. It was Alex, he was walking into the gym. "Your father asked for you," he said.“If it’s about getting dressed corporately to meet the Vatos Locos, tell him he should go fuck himself.” I jabbed, and focused on the track. I would have evaded this shit but my father held me bound. He threatened that he would give the mafia to another one of his countless children. I'd sacrificed so much for the organization and I can’t just hand it over to anyone. Perharps, I still have some fucker

Jericho's POVThe castle roared in felicitations as we all waited for my bride. My mind was preoccupied and I hoped everything would go as planned. Leia fainted yesterday after I dropped the bombshell about the pact that her parents made with my family.I was by her side and nursed her all through the night but when it was almost dawn, Alex came to drag me away, I had to get prepared. While I was lost in thought, my bride appeared. Her gown trailed behind her as she took each step elegantly into the castle. It was like the appearance of an angel on a red tarmac. The castle roared in appraisal and slowly, I rose to my feet, I was mesmerized but despite her alluring beauty, the anguish in her beautiful eyes was evident.She scanned through the crowd frantically and I saw her stagger slightly as realization dawned on her; her parents were nowhere to be found.Somehow, I had prepared for this and I began to walk towards her. I launched forward the moment she began to fall.She fell into
