Luca's POV What Halo proposed rang in my head continuously. Astrid had just lost something because of this mafia world she was in and now she had to get even more involved with it? I wasn't sure what she would say if I told her about it but she might want to do it just for the sake of revenge against those who killed her mother and sister. I walked into the penthouse to see Astrid sitting in the living room with her chair. She was busy moving from side to side but he rback was turned to me so I didn't see what she was doing. When I heard the clicking of sweets, a small smile appeared on my lips and my legs took me to her without my consent. “You're back.” I asked her, looking down at her computer. She snapped her head back with a frown and she stared into my eyes. Was it me, or she looked even more beautiful now that she had recovered. “Ooh, it's you.” She mumbled with a small smile. “Yeah, I just think I should go through the piled up work Vincent sent in after practice. Nothing

FIGHTING THE INNER ME Gavin's POV “Daddy, did you want to hurt her?” Lyra asked as I patted her back slowly trying to put her back to sleep. I was at a loss for words and didn’t know what to say. But I had to say something else: she will keep being scared. “Errmmm, no baby, I didn’t want to, I was just, you know… angry.” She wanted to say something else and I didn’t want that because she could ask one question after another until morning. “Don’t say anything else dear, just close your eyes and go to bed so I’ll get you ice cream by morning,” I bribed. She stayed quiet shitting her eyes and allowing sleep engulf her. After ensuring Lyra was safe and sound in her bed, I walked towards my room and stumbled on Ciara who was still cowering in the corner of the staircase. I knew I had to get her out of there, not just for my sake but for Lyra's as well. I couldn't let my daughter see her like this, and I definitely couldn't let Ciara's presence upset me further. I felt like smackin

Luca's POV I stood to the side as I watched June stand across from Astrid with an excited expression. I don't expect Astrid to win this fight at all because firstly, she was already exhausted from fighting Serena, and secondly, June was just a level below Nino when it came to her power. She was at the top of the women and was just trying to toy with Astrid. I didn't step in when she challenged Astrid because in this world, endurance was needed and that was one of the things Astrid lacked. She needed to be able to last long in long lasting battles without guns. Astrid looked tired from where she stood, still recovering from her earlier fight with Serena but I knew she wasn't about to give you just yet. It was written all over her face. One thing I had to admit she had was guts. June cracked her knuckles, smirking. “Are you sure you're ready for this, new girl? I won't go easy on you at all.” Astrid didn't answer and just raised her fists. She was ready, or at least he thought she

Astrid's POV The morning air was refreshing as I leaned against Luca's car, waiting for him to finish giving last minute orders to Vincent and Nico. I've never been one for early mornings, but we had to move early so it wasn't like I had any choice in deciding when to leave. We were meeting with La Oscuridad today and I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. Why does it always have to be me they were all after. I mean, training a new hacker to take my place wouldn't cost them as much time and effort trying to get a hold of me would cost them. Well, training one wasn't the same as someone who has been hacking since I could read perfectly. The first thing father made me learn was what I was interested in and computers seemed interesting and I fell in love with hacking. Although he used it for his own goods back then, I still got to hack to the point of perfection, even though I still make some mistakes one of a thousand times. I wasn't interested in being pulled into the dark si

Astrid's POV I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. It's been a while since I've seen myself dressed like this and I had to say it wasn't exactly what I would call my style at all. Dressed in a black, satin dress that hugged my body tight, I looked fitting for one of these big club hostesses. My hair was pulled back in waves, make up perfectly done and heels that clicked against the floor as I moved in them were set. It wasn't my usual style but if it was for a mission, I was ready to go out of my comfort zone. I knew there were those who didn't want me with La Oscuridad and it wasn't like I wanted to join either but the fact that Luca had given the go ahead to be involved, I don't care what the rest of them said. Golden Gates was one of the most expensive clubs in the entire country and it was on the outskirts of Luca's territory. It was one of those corporations no one claimed ownership over either because it is owned by a powerfully organization and I could o
