Luca's POV La Oscuridad. The second most powerful underground organization whose power was on the same level with El Sombra. Those two groups have been rivals right from the time they were both created. All they wanted twas to recruit powerhouse mafia families. Their head, Halo Oscuro, had been seeking an audience with me for months and his intentions weren't a secret to. At least his main goal, and that was to make me join their organization. I had ignored him, and suspended my response while I focused on my affairs. But now, the perfect time had finally come to answer his call. Not because I needed an alliance, but I needed those to have wrapped around my finger and Julian had made it easier for me alongside Astrid's details on she got form the Ivano family about El Sombra. “It's time.” I said, my voice cold and unyielding. I had no reason to fake my emotions because it really needed me to be cold and unyielding to see this through. Nico, my man after Vincent, who was standing

Astrid's POV The room I was in was dark and I could tell it was still in the middle of the night. It took me a while to realize where I was because I was caught in between sleep and waking up for a brief moment. But then, I suddenly became aware of the warmth surrounding me, the solid weigh of an arm around my waist. Luca's arm. Luca's bed. My heart skipped a beat as I realized where I was. I didn't realize I actually fell asleep and now.were were both close in his bed. His chest was warm against my back, his breath soft against my neck. It felt too good, too comforting. But I knew I shouldn't really be enjoying this. I slowly tried to slip from under his arm. I moved carefully, inching my body towards the edge of the bed of the bed, trying not to wake him. But as soon as I shifted, his arm tightened around me, pulling me back against him. “Where do you think you're going?” His voice was rough with sleep, making me feel a pit in my stomach. I didn't know why it sounded so sexy. G

Astrid's POV I opened my eyes slowly. I didn't know how long I was out for but looking by my side in bed, the warmth Luca gave to me was no longer there since he was no longer in bed with me. The room was quiet, soft flickers of light coming through the little opening that was made in the curtains. The room felt warm and welcoming despite the dark and gloomy color. For a moment, I just stayed there, staring at the ceiling, letting the events that took place yesterday flow into my head. Blush rose up to my cheeks as I thought of the embarrassing sounds and things I did last night. It was as if I was drunk in pleasure so I didn't know what I was doing. How was I going to face him after that embarrassing time? It was still unbelievable that I fell asleep in Luca's arms. Part of me wanted to stay in bed to avoid whatever awkward encounter we will have because it's inevitable. I slipped out of bed, looking for my clothes but I couldn't find them. Pulling on the loose shirt on the sofa a

Astrid's POV The sound of my fingers tapping the keyboard echoed through the entire room as I typed away on the keyboard. I was seated in front of the computer setup Luca had gotten specially for me and I've been glued to it for hours. Vincent sent in files earlier and they were all sprawled out besides me. I read through the plan he had sent me over and over again and I didn't know why I was surprised although I knew how the mafia ran their business in the first place. Luca's latest mission was to take out the Hills family. They weren't really popular on this side of the continent but it seemed they've gathered a lot of power than it seems on the outside and are now one of the A class families in their side of the continent. Their wealth came from different dark sources and Luca wanted them gone. Completely erased. Vincent had sent me everything I needed; passwords, codes, and blueprint of the Hills family estate. There were hundreds of laues of security but not something really

Luca's POV Astrid has been steadily feeding me information about the positions I should avoid and go through but the line suddenly went shut. There was suddenly tension in her voice before she was cut off. I paused, pressing my back against the wall as I scanned the area. She had been trying to warn me about something, her voice cracked with urgency. “Wait, Luca, there's something else…” Then silence. I waited a moment, listening to the static in the earpiece, but there was nothing. The connection was broken, making me curse undrea my breath. If Astrid's system was down, it meant trouble. I trusted her with the tech and system aspect but if the Hills has set up something, we're going to be in it. It was unusual for her system to fail unless it was either a counter measure was perfectly executed or something was wrong on her side and both was a one in a million chances occurrence. I moved forward cautiously, avoiding every guard I came across but it wasn't easy without Astrid's d
