Camilla noticed Allen's face morph into a more serious demeanour. “I want to tell you something, Camilla,” he said, leaning over the table and taking Camilla's hand in his. “I don't want you to take this the wrong way…” Camilla only stared at him, wondering what he was about to say.“Camilla!” She heard a familiar, gruff voice behind her yell her name, and she twirled. Lo and behold, it was Alessandro with Jax following closely behind him.“Alessandro!” Camilla sighed, slowly pulling her hand out of Allen's hold.“You don't want to see him?” Allen asked, his gaze following her line of sight.“No.” She replied, but then Alessandro was already close and took hold of Camilla's hands. “Where have you been? What happened?” Alessandro asked, looking a little distressed, “How are you?He asked and got no reply from Camilla but had his arms lifted off Camilla's hand, “Let her be. She doesn’t want to see you!” Allen barked.Alessandro's hot gaze trailed from Allen's hands to his face, and his

Camilla waited in her pastry shop. Two customers had dropped by, and she had attended to them. She had already hired workers online, and they would arrive very soon.The new delivery guys were the first to arrive. They were two of them, hired to take the pastries to customers who wanted them delivered. It was a great upgrade to the business. The setting up of the shop had been done online, and she was expecting a great turnout today.Since it was all agreed upon, the delivery guys took their position, and when they were needed, Camilla called on them. Sales were good as expected, and both delivery guys drove out a long distance for delivery. It was during this period that the last hired worker arrived. Camilla had interviewed him online, and she would be meeting Allen for the first time.According to his bio, which Camilla read, Allen dropped out of college due to an inability to pay his school fees. He was two years older than her. His parents died in a ghastly accident in his second

To hell with Camilla and her shitty desserts! I'm rich! Ruby screamed in her head, not wanting to draw attention to herself.Who is this guy to just sign away a hundred thousand dollars for appreciation? She fumbled with his business card and typed his name on the search engine, “Whoa, that was Alessandro Morano?" She palmed her mouth. “The head of the Morano mafia family? Shit! He's got serious money. Sounds like my perfect man.“Shopping time!” She squealed and took an exotic ride to a designer shop.When she got there, she didn't waste any time, and she called Alessandro, and after four rings, he picked up the phone.“It is Ruby, the lady from earlier today.”“Oh, Ruby,” he replied, “by the way, that cupcake of yours is amazing," he complimented, and Jax, who was still by his side munching on the cupcake, agreed with a thumbs up.“I'm glad you like it,” she said, sipping on the wine she was served. “I just wanted to tell you that I didn't save you that night because of money. I sav

Alessandro was worried, and he didn’t know what he should do now. His uncle, Salvatore, had told him to calm down several times, but it wasn’t working on him. He didn't want an innocent lady dying over what she knew nothing about. Alessandro had already summoned his men, and they had split into searching all the warehouses in the area. If anything bad happened to Ruby, blood would flow in the streets, and most of it would be from the Donatello family. Alessandro had been calm for months, and he seemed to be taken for granted.“It makes no sense!” Alessandro exclaimed. “Those thugs of theirs died from trespassing. If they wanted revenge, our men should be their target. However, they dared to take Ruby and tie her down.”“Your relationship hasn’t been defined, boss,” Jax replied. “I am sure you are nothing but friends with both Ruby and Camilla. You need to make your choice quickly and stop keeping the other one in suspense. I say this for your own peace.”“Now is not the time for th

Everything happened in fragments. Disconnected moments that my brain couldn't piece together fast enough.One second I was standing there, Brock's gun pointed at my chest, his finger on the trigger.The next second, the world exploded.A crack. Sharp and loud. But not from Brock's gun.Glass shattered behind him. The wall of the aquarium tunnel spider-webbed with cracks. Water started seeping through. Then spraying. Then gushing.Brock spun around, confused. "What—"A sniper. FBI had taken the shot. Not at Brock. At the glass behind him. Creating chaos. Creating an opening.Water exploded into the tunnel. Thousands of gallons under pressure. The force knocked Brock off his feet. Knocked Emma down. Knocked me backward.I hit the ground hard. My head cracked against the wet floor. Stars burst in my vision."Emma!" I screamed. But my voice was drowned out by rushing water.I couldn't see her. Couldn't see anything through the spray and chaos. Just water everywhere. Rising fast. Already a
