However, I enjoy the word 'bitch.' Slut goes like this: T-A-U-N." She spelled out the letters.The crowd gasped in stunned silence, mesmerized by Diana's bold response. Hunter's eyes lit up with admiration, reminded of why he had fallen for her in the first place. Taun angrily seized the glass of juice from the table and dumped it on Diana, who stood dumbfounded by the act. Taun's smirk grew, fueled by the reaction she was getting. She knew she could get away with anything after all, she was a Mafia daughter and engaged to another powerful man. Her eyes landed on the furious man seated across from her, and for a moment, "WHAT THE FUCK!!!" Diana yelled, her body dripping with juice. Hunter stood immediately, his eyes blazing with fury as he glared at Taun. The crowd gasped, their phones cap

The next morning, the doorbell's shrill ringing jolting Diana awake from her slumber. She lay sprawled on the floor, her beautiful figure still shrouded in the remnants of sleep. "I'm coming, hold on!" Sonia's voice floated up from downstairs. Diana groggily stood up, wincing as a searing headache sliced through her temples. She hissed in pain, the sound escaping her lips in a whispered curse. As she stumbled to her feet, she slipped on her footwear and shuffled towards the bathroom, her eyes landing on the empty liquor bottle on the floor.She had drowned herself last night, with alcohol. "Did I really down an entire bottle of liquor last night?" Diana muttered to herself. Suddenly, she recalled the doorbell's ringing and hastened downstairs to answer it, only to find Sonia already standing at the open door, her back to her. "Who is it?" Diana asked, her eyes straining to see past Sonia's shoulder. Sonia turned to face her, her uniform immaculate, but her expression shifted

"How did a Mafia truck end up at our doorstep... and to make matters worse, it's packed with drugs?" Luke asked, his confusion evident. The team gathered in Douglas's office, while Douglas himself stood with his back to them, gazing out the open window, his eyes fixed intently on the situation unfolding outside. "Is this some kind of setup?" Mia inquired, her brow furrowed in concern. "This doesn't feel like a trap," Luke replied. "It's too brazen. This is a deliberate act."Silence."Sir, what's the plan?" Hunter asked, breaking the silence. Douglas exhaled slowly, he's as confused as everyone. He had made inquiries from the security guards on duty that night, but none knew how it got there.He didn't respond immediately, his gaze still fixed on the truck outside. The team's eyes were on him, The unexpected arrival of the Mafia truck had caught them off guard. After a moment, Douglas spoke. "We've reviewed the CCTV footage. The truck bypassed our security perimeter undetecte

Diana and Hunter were driving to Sonia's school to pick her up, still reeling from the stressful meeting at the office.Douglas had laid out a plan to tackle the problem, but Diana couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to the Mafia's motives than met the eye. "It's what we're trained for, isn't it?" Hunter remarked, his eyes fixed on the road. "We're FBI, after all." Diana nodded, her mind still preoccupied with the case. She started scrolling through her phone, and a video caught her attention. The caption read "_FAMOUS MODEL WAS HUMILIATED_." She chuckled, recognizing the footage from the previous day's events. "Something funny?" Hunter asked curioused.Diana showed him the video, and he slowed down, his eyes widening as they watched the model's shocked face. They both burst out laughing. "Serves her right," Diana said, giggling. "Did you see her expression? I love that we had the nerve to take her down a peg.".Hunter's laughter trailed off, and he gave her an inten

"Knowing you two can't stand each other," Diana scolded. Her voice was loud enough that other people in the restaurant started to look. Both Sonia and Hunter flinched. "Is that really all that happened?" she asked, feeling like they were hiding something. "Sonia?" she warned.Sonia looked angry and defiant. "I didn't do anything, Mom. Ask him," she said, pointing at Hunter. Surprisingly, Hunter agreed with her. Even though they hated each other, they sometimes stuck together."But she did call me an asshole," Hunter added with a small smile. Sonia’s mouth dropped open in shock, but she quickly calmed down."I won't deny it," Sonia snapped, looking at Hunter and then her mom.

Sonia’s eyes were full of disapproval.Hunter felt the tension and moved uncomfortably in his chair. "Hey, let's not make this about me," he tried to say, but Diana kept
