It was such a turn on the way she held that weapon, her cute petite body. Craving to know more about her, I want to understand why she is such an intriguing lady, she displays no fear, even while holding that heaving gun. I'm impressed she is fearless.

"I have bandaged your wound, just try not to move your arms too much and relax. The nurse said to me while handing me a bunch of medicine... "I can't believe pulls that trigger on you...Jay said

"if you don't have anything to say, then shut your mouth, it's only a small mark, no big deal! I'm going to punish her. I'm not going to let this go, she is screwed...I said angrily

"she is a tough one boss...

"she looks dead to me, find her"...I said while sipping a drink

"what should we do to her boss?

"find her and bring her to me alive, I want to know why she is hiding her face under that mask and I will be the one to handle her, I will take care of her matter..

"Okay. Jay nodded his head and left...

2hours later

I and my men arrived at Santiago Hotel Maxwell was at the front of the hotel to welcome us, I came out from the car and walked up to him, we gazed at ourself deadly for a while and we broke the silence with a smile... "you surpass me with our gaze competition, huh"? Maxwell said while crossing his hands around his chest.. "you should retire now.

"if I do I will be imprisoned.. You know that's going to be a fantastic spot for us to retire".. he said with a smirk on his face

"I will offer you some ideas on how to build your golden prison. I said, Maxwell laughed so hard that everyone started looking in your direction.."I wish that you were my son. Look at how you have grown into a powerful lord...Still no wife and children, eh? he said teasingly

"stop asking that kind of ridiculous question, I don't do that kind of bullshit".

"Lucien, who will look after your empire if you die?

"I'm not alone, I have a large family. I said while rolling my eye at him

"you need a lady who knows how to deal with your soulless self, the one who is capable of killing you, yet still cares for you..

"my elements are present, you know that there is no price for you, we are family!

"and they are the best! I need one of your best assassins too and I will provide you the face of the headache that keeps invading my domain, don't worry Lucien, I have been considering dealing with our enemies myself, that family is riddled with deception, and treachery, always stealing from others! They stole everything from me, they must pay. He said with fierce.."don't even bother, this is my fight. That's why I'm here, I'm contacting everyone I know from all around the globe, who is ready to assist me in demolishing here area in each nation. "Good, cause I want them to suffer one at a time.. he paused and tapped my shoulder.. "you are welcome to my hotel, the hotel has been closed down to the public.

"That's very good. I'm hosting a very big party next month, you need to invite politicians and top influencers, it's time to end the Jax empires.. For now, I have to rest". Maxwell nodded his head, I left and went inside...

Ciara pov

It's been a week that has been inside my room after the incident, I have never for once lived a normal life, I should not take it lightly that I'm the granddaughter of the important and feared criminal on earth because to live a normal life is simply unthinkable, I only have one friend, I couldn't go out alone, his men always protecting me and I couldn't hang being an outlaw in another story, the feeling of doing what you shouldn't do always has a bittersweet taste, my grandfather is best at what he does, he makes the best illegal substance in the world, the amount of money we earn can drive one crazy, unfortunately when you have everything in the world, your enemies are watching you and they will do everything to make your life a living hell... "I know you will love it, you love expensive things... Bella said while sipping her wine.

"yes, but I crave freedom more"... I want to run away from here... I said with a tired expression

"hope you are not planning to go back to that club, you won't like your grandfather to know that you have been stripping in a club to make money to run away from him, and the manager of the club told me that some group of guys are looking for you, I told the manager of the club not to disclose your identity or else he will be killed, I threaten him to shut his mouth"...

"Thanks, bestie, what would I have done without you".. I went closer to her and hugged her.

"I don't want you and your grandpa to be having issues, you know he is just being protective, he doesn't want you to end up like your father and siblings"...

"I understand, I miss them. And I promise to revenge their death...

"I heard from one of your guards that your grandfather has closed down his hotel to the public...

"why?.. I ask with curiosity

"he invited the most feared criminal and he always liked his privacy and he close down the hotel to the public and I heard that his name is Lucien"...

"Lucien"?I asked with curiosity. immediately my grandfather barged inside my room and asked Bella to excuse us and Bella left... "I'm hosting a party tomorrow night at the hotel, my late friend's son has been staying there for a week now, and I want you to come and meet him.

"is that why you came to my room... I asked with curiosity

"yes.. none of my friends knows that I have a granddaughter, is time for you to come out, he is one of the most important and feared criminals and I work for him, I want you to grab this opportunity and see him, we have been hosting a meeting for some weeks and we are preparing for a big party in the upper week but I want you to meet him tomorrow for the party I'm hosting tomorrow and you need to dress well and behave yourself"... He kissed my forehead and left... I always hated going to my grandfather's hotel his business associates came into his hotel and took over the hotel while they discussed their work, sometimes they did come to our home and I was forced to stay out of the way and not make my presence known while the guest is here, unfortunately, I had no say in the matter either way in the world of mafia there were strict rules to follow one of the biggest being"women are to be seen and not heard. I was to put on the pretty dress and speak only when spoken to and smile that's it
