Chapter 11

Dante’s POVI adjusted my position against the desk folding my arms across my chest. Matteo relaxed into the chair running a hand through his spiky hair. “This Justin guy is a whole lot of shit encapsulated. He’s been on everybody’s ass. Deeper than we thought.” He started with a soft smirk.“Not just the syndicate and the politicians? What else does this son of a bitch have on people?”“Millionaires, businessmen, even your average joe at the corner shop has dirt that this bastard can find.” I shared a glance with Bella who raised a brow sharing my impression. Impressive. No wonder the syndicate wanted him gone. What could he possibly have on them? That, I wanted to know.“So asides from finding out he’s volatile what else? We don’t have all day you know? I don’t.”“Does that explain the shirt?” he pointed to my bloodied shirt.“Ghost.” I warned.“Alright, alright. Justin Harris, middle age, works for the Herald News as some freelance investigative reporter. He’s got the rep as we k

Chapter 12

Lily's POVI paced about the room rapidly. Left to right. Left to right. And left to right again. This wasn't really happening was it? I facepalmed.“Of course it's happening.” I said out loud. I glanced out at the birdcage barricades on the windows. The hours had gone by. My time limit was up. But I'd been a sitting duck for about God knows how long. No nothing. Just Rosa dropping off food and excusing herself. Since putting me here she rarely engaged in more conversation than necessary. I knew nothing. But then I had started to think, if I did get all this information, what was I going to use it for? I had no way out of here. I dug my hands into my hair breathing hard. “Calm down Lily. It's not the end of the world just yet.” I tried to calm myself, but my voice came out shaky. A knock came at the door. I stared at the door handle expecting….just expecting. Rosa walked into the room, her face greeting mine with a soft smile. She had no tray with her. Something was wrong. “Is th

Dante's POVI had to laugh at the look on her face. From the very moment she stepped into the room she looked like a mouse that had winded up in a terribly elaborate trap.“Wouldn't you like to know?” I said. “I would…. actually.” She replied, her voice small. “Eat up.” I pointed my knife at her plate. She visibly swallowed gingerly picking up the utensil from the dining table. She still hesitated. “If I wanted you dead you would've been two weeks ago. Your daddy dearest has been owing me for a long while. So,” I sliced my food, the aluminium screeching on the ceramic. She flinched at the sound. “Eat up.”I chewed watching her take small bites. Her soft features would be a great attraction for customers when she started. I almost pitied her. Let her go? I chuckled to myself again. “Your time's up.” I stated.Her head jerked up, wide hazel eyes staring back into mine. I could see the fear, but it wasn't quite enough for me. “What? You shouldn't be surprised. You and I both know

Chapter 14

Lily's POVI hated the way they stared at me like I was a piece of meat. I didn't know when I stopped protesting the words that came out of his mouth. Something about his words made me realize how final it was. Dad was a deadbeat and I was done for. I was about to be in a strip club serving all kinds of people.“I must really be cursed.” I muttered to myself in the back seat of the sedan car I'd been forced into about an hour earlier. “I really must be fucking cursed.” First it was mom telling us she been having an affair for about two years. Well, telling us was a stretch. Dad had found them in bed after an early return from a business trip. She held no remorse for her actions in fact she went as far as to reveal to us she was pregnant with his kid. I didn't want a new dad, or a new sibling without my dad and they split. I was sixteen. Six years later and it still hurt like a bitch. As if to make even more fun of me Dad's deteriorating condition came next. He couldn't handle losin

Chapter 15

Dante's POVThe moment Kerry had taken Lily from the room I drank two more glasses of wine. I wouldn't lie and say Lily wasn't a looker. She was. Up close, she was something to look at. Definitely not cute like Kerry said. Perfect for the job she was going into. She'd attract those men like bees and they'd flock to her and she'd be out of my hair soon enough. “Should you be drinking so much this early in the morning sir?” Alessandro asked. He'd stood and watched the whole scene play out in here for the past few minutes. So silent that I had forgotten he was in the room. “I think I can handle it, Alessandro.”“I'm less worried about the alcohol and more about your state of mind.”“My state of mind has never been better Alessandro. No need to worry about me. You, on the other hand, need to take some vacation days.” “I'm quite healthy sir.” He pressed. I exhaled. A knock came at the door and in walked Bella and Matteo. “Good morning Boss,” Matteo greeted. “What's the situation?” I
