Diego's POV I shut the door behind me. The clicking of my heels recedes as I pause in front of the mirror. The thrill of the previous night was still alive in my chest. The way they looked at me, admiring me and craving me. It was a gay club, but there were still men who had eyes for a pretty lady like me. Unbeknownst to them, I was a man, hiding under the pretense of a lady, a crossdresser and proud of it. I pull off my blonde wig and let the fake lashes fall off my eyelids. As the fake strands fall away, I'm left with my natural auburn hair, wild from the hours of dancing. I let my hand slid into my hair, feeling its crispy nature on my smooth palm. I place the blonde wig back to its place on my head, admiring my looks as I stared into the mirror. There was something exhilarating about last night. Some of the men looked like they could tear me apart, and then, there was him. I close my eyes, the memory of him hitting me like a whirlwind. The man that sat near the bar in a place t

Diego's POV As the door slams open, I turned around and the voice cuts through the air. “He won't do it.” I blink and my eyes meet the gaze of the man who just spoke.“Anthony,” I whispered, unsure if I should be happy or puzzled about his presence. I hadn't seen much of him in the past days. His gaze lingers on me for a moment, and then he directs it to Roberto.“Diego can't assassinate Rocco. I have a better idea.” He steps forwards, his long legs taking long strides as he closes the space between me and Roberto.Roberto looks at him, a frown forming on his face. “What's your idea?”Anthony doesn't hesitate. “He would be a spy instead.”I step backwards,my breath hitches in my throat as I struggle to process his words. A spy? How is that even possible. I didn't know if I should be relieved, confused or terrified.Roberto grunts and I could see that he was also trying to make sense of Anthony's suggestion.Anthony continues, “Cent Rocco is heavily guarded. It's nearly impossible to

Vincent's POVI came across the same woman from the previous night. Her petite curves, blonde hair and blue eyes were still intact like I saw the other night. However, the pendant which intrigued me that night wasn't visible on her neck. I could swear that I knew that emblem and could recognize it even in my sleep.She wasn't different from other women I had fun with. My thoughts drifted back to her pendant. There was no way she could have easily bought jewelry with the symbol of a rival empire. The Alexander empire hadn't made a move against me in years. They had been extremely active in my younger years, when my parents were still alive, and I was there that night, when my mother was killed by their men. I was only 15, planning to run away with my life intact, but something spun in me. I couldn't run away from my enemies, I had to fight and get my revenge.I squeezed the security man who had gone in search of the woman by his neck.“Where is she?” I barked, my grip even tightening.

“Diego.” Anthony called out, just when we were close to the room Roberto was. I turned towards him, and he dipped his hand into his pocket, bringing out a tiny box. He handed it to me. Inside the box revealed a ring, silver-coloured with black edges.“I have one on my hand,” He raised his left middle finger, showing me a ring which was the same as the one in the box. “Just something to remind us of our relationship, even if we are apart.”“I love it,” I said with a smile, and immediately slipped the ring into my finger. Its design was minimalistic and intricate. Without wasting time, I headed to where Roberto was, his library as always.Roberto wasn't alone. His guards were there as always quiet and observant of the environment. I usually wondered what he needed bodyguards for when he was inside the house.“Today is your interview. I've already made arrangements for how you would be selected. You have to be at Rocco's mansion by 12 noon, so I'd make the details brief.”I glanced at t

“Miss Daisy, is everything alright?” Jenkins came closer and whispered to me. He bent down to pick the pieces of the glass. The valet was already there, and took over, clearing the glass and mopping the floor.“I'm so sorry sir. She's just too nervous. She's probably never worked in a place like this.” I heard Jenkins say.Jenkins gave me a side eye, signaling me to stand up and greet Vincent, but I was glued to my seat. Before he could convince me further, I stood up, running in the opposite direction, unsure of where I was headed to.Jenkins had confusion written over his face, too stunned to even chase after me.“Miss Daisy.” He called out multiple times. “You don't have to be nervous.”I hid in an unfamiliar room which seemed empty. I knew that if I ran outside, the security officials would definitely catch up with me.Vincent was the same man I had eyes on that day at the club. The same guy that I snatched his credit card on my last day at the club just to have the thrill of doin
