Unknown POV

I crossed my legs, cigar in between my index and middle finger and a glass of red wine in another hand.

An older man was seated in front of me, his eyes as dark as night. I could feel the rigidness emanating from him, and beneath it lie desperation.

"What do you say, Fernandez Vincenzo?" I asked after a brief sip from my wine. I chuckled at his silence. He was so proud but I wasn't surprised.

All Vincenzo's are. But I cared less, this was just a business deal between us. I bring her back and get juicy benefits but the benefits were what Fernandez was taking too long to state.

"I have been waiting so many years for this day when I'd finally figure out a way to bring La Lupa back. It's being so many years since her nanny took her away. The Family's heritage is right there, lying in wait for a successor and I can't even get access to it!" He growled, his veins popping.

"It's getting on my nerves, boy and that's why I need you to put in so much efforts in searching for La Lupa. I need her back here in London and I want that real quick. She's the only one who can unlock the access to the lineage heritage."

I cleared my throat, a smug smile tugging at my lips. "I understand you so well, Fernandez. You are hungry for power and it's obvious. I'm so willing to help you but it comes with a price."

"You tell me what you want, boy. I'll give it to you as long as you can bring La Lupa back!" Fernandez replied and I gave a curt nod.

"Surely I have a request, Fernandez." I began, walking closer to him. "It's been more than ten years now since she left and it's such a painful thing that you got locked up in the prison too by your brother. I know you're only driven by revenge, Fernandez and this isn't you being nice."

He raised his brow at me, his lips twitching in disgust. "What are you saying? That Morano was right by putting me behind bars because I only stole his gold?" He scoffed, running a hand through his gray hair, "I've been locked up for twenty years now. Morano was a ruthless son of a gun, he doesn't give a fuck about his own family. Now he's gone, dear! How can a miserly Rival's son end the life of someone as mighty as him?"

I grinned, puffing my cigar as I let out its smoke. "The history you're counting on is so pathetic. I only asked you a question and that's if you're truly interested in bringing back La Lupa or just thirsty for revenge."

He shrugged, letting out a dry chuckle. "I don't care, boy. And you don't really have to ask me too much questions. The rest of the clan are searching for her too but it's hard to find her as her identity isn't the same as 16 years ago. She now lives under a different name amd I see you're quite sensible and you can help me. You have to make sure the other clan members don't get her before you do."

"Don't beat around the bush, Fernandez Vincenzo." I hissed at the cunning man. "What's my reward when all of this comes out with a good result?"

"I'll send you a file and in it I'll state the terms and conditions. After you go through it, you can conclude whether you're satisfied with it or not, otherwise you begin the search immediately."

"Very well then." A small smile settled on my lips as I take my seat. "This should be for a good cause I think. Remember, you don't have the right to harm her."

"Boy, you talk to much." He growled, "revenge isn't on my plate now. All I need is La Lupa's presence here. Once she signs the inheritance off to me then phew! I'm done with her. I'll discard her the next minute, she can return after then."

I furrowed my brows as I studied the look in his eyes intently. I wouldn't be trusting this old man. I wanted this deal to work but I needed the girl too.

I have been running my researches lately and luckily, I found out she was in Italy. But her precise location was still hidden.

First, I'd have to go to the Orphanage, after all we've always met there. But I doubt if she would still recognise me, it's been so many years without her.

Alessandro's POV

My sister had been on my neck, always throwing tantrums over the phone.

Father wasn't is temporarily unable to walk again, the doctor said it'd take some months for him to be back on his feet again.

I was worried but Adelaide was more worried. Still, the adamant man wouldn't rest. The Vincenzo's were near and I could feel it myself.

He wanted me to discard Amelia as soon as possible but I can't help it.

I might die more sooner without her in my life. Even though I've always tried to pretend I wasn't in love with her, I was madly into her.

She was a queen, a goddess..her hips drive me crazy and especially, her cute eyes. It was hard for me to resist them.

A faint smile settled on my lips as I beheld her face. She was still asleep, her arms above her head.

Fuck she really looked like one of those days when I'm fucking horny and I'm banging her like hell with her hands pinned above her head.

It's been so nice having her in my room. Most of the times, I didn't need to sniff her pantie to sleep anymore.

Her presence alone drove me crazy and with her by my side, I felt like all of the earth's chaos were on pause.

I moved to give her a peck on the forehead but when I'm tempted to pull the quilt away and stare at her nice boobs, my phone beeped and it was a text from that miserly motherfucker.

~Heard you made your father crippled. Isn't that too much of a price?~
