Chapter 5 Five

Lucien pov

I came into view and moved around the boxing bag, I spent an hour on the boxing bag because I was so angry because I failed to protect my sister from my enemy Jax and his father needs to be finished as soon as possible and I had a plan in mind but I couldn't concentrate early because of my wrath, the individual who works for them could want us killed if I make a mistake and that is not what we desire, you need to strike a golden compromise if you want to be a fucking king and get to govern them all and I still haven't found it! Plus I couldn't just shoot them because of another factor, my father's business I needed to get it back, fuck, I was completely unable to think clearly, and I was in the mood to murder...

"boss, get some rest, please .. Today is going to be a long day of labor".

"who will perish today? ". I turned to Leo and he handed a glass of whisky to me.. "boss, we have been looking for the mysterious stripper but we haven't seen her, the manager of the hotel sworn he doesn't know anything about her"...

"I give you 24 hours to find her, or else I will make your funeral extravagant"....

Okay boss"....My phone started ringing Leo handed the phone to me I looked at it it was my mum.. "when exactly are you going to get married and start producing grandkids for me? For your empire it is vital to reproduce, you are 29 now"...

"is that why you called mum? Don't listen to Maxwell his intentions are clear to me, he wants me to wed his granddaughter so that he can consolidate his position and further his interests...

"I love his granddaughter, she was your sister's friend when she was alive, you are a grown man, any action you take is at your discretion

"why is it that I'm the only one who hasn't met Maxwell's granddaughter

"Maxwell is protecting his granddaughter, he doesn't want the same thing that happened to his daughter to happen to his granddaughter

"I'm not interested in meeting her....

"start making plans on meeting her,' causee I want you two to get married, you already know that if I tell you this, it's because we need to keep our empire stable"...

"I'm not ready to settle down"...

"you give yourself 48 hours to think about it"...

"take care, mum, I'm busy ". I ended the call.

"sir, they are all set, they are waiting for you to speak about business Maxwell opened the casino for the meeting, so all of them are waiting for you at the casino"..

"yeah, yeah, Leo calm down I'm not yet focused"... I followed him to the casino when I got there I scanned the area amazing work was done by Maxwell and his team, he added a unique touch, and the setting was classy, relaxed and has an amazing lighting.." I have no idea a criminal meeting would be so stylish,l suppose everyone is acting appropriately".. One of the members said and I laughed so hard.. "don't let the decoration and dressing fool you, in this place nobody is scared to ruin their suits but seeing everyone acting very nicely is a little scary".I will always focus on business wherever I travel. My strategy was to acquire all of my connections that could assist me in destroying the jaxs money machine, my friends are the most forthright, they are not hesitant to tell me the truth, everyone is enjoying themselves, and they are also in a pleasant mood and since everyone is in a good mood and relaxed, negotiating is easy... "if you want to join us, we could go out and hunt some bastards together "... I said with a smirk

"and don't even consider it adrail"..one of the members said Even thou I'm in Alaska, I still need my money of course I have to invite the person who owns me big time..

"Don't worry cousin, they are finished this time"..

"I just want them to collect everything from them and suffer as we did, then treat them the same way they treated my father and my sister"...

"I heard that the jaxs empire is now involved in weapon trafficking, and many of their connection is located in Italy, when I was in Italy, I heard from several reliable sources that's why I brought a friend who is well versed in their new business...

"I have a lot of information that you may be interested in... I gave him the signal to continue talking.. "the Jax want to fuck up my business, but they are unaware that I'm surrounded by trustworthy friends and family...he continue talking all of us were listening... Many of them are wealthy as a result of my efforts. As we all do, we will go to any length to keep our money machine, I stood up and took a glass of whisky and immediately I saw a girl at the bar talking to the barman and I whispered to Leo. "who is that golden girl from afar".. Leo looked at the direction.. "that's Ciara, Maxwell granddaughter".., I didn't concentrate on the meeting anymore my gaze was at her direction, she has the same eye of that mysterious stripper that I saw at the club and I look at her thigh cause the golden gown she was putting on was a very short and reveling and I saw the same tattoo that the mysterious stripper had and I was curious to know why she was at the club stripping for money when her grandfather is a known criminal and turn to Leo "are you sure, she is Maxwell granddaughter? I asked to be sure cause that girl was the girl that shot me that very day at the club and I didn't know Maxwell's granddaughter could be so strong and fearless, I was curious and want to ask her so many questions why she is stripping when her grandpa has a lot of money in his bank account I have been looking for her for so many weeks and finally here she is standing directly in front of me it never occurred to me that I will simply stand there and gaze at her, she symbolizes the fact of being expensive, wild, sensual and delectable and she is the focus of everyone attention, she is exclusive, her expression which seems different to the situation did not help me to look away, it gets my blood pumping, I simply want to grab her and get the hell as quickly as possible, I couldn't give a flying fuck about the party at this point, she is the life and soul of the party, I walked up to her and dragged her out of the casino, I pin her to the wall... "you are the mysterious stripper that shot me at the club?. I was expecting her to denied but she didn't.. "I hope you will listen me next time and you should also wear a bullet proof..

"bulletproof isn't for me, my tattoos are my best protection ".. I clap back at her

"I do you know I was the one and what are you doing here

"is like you don't know who I am, let me lay it down for you a bit, I'm Lucien, and I'm unstoppable! Every scar on my body defines who I am! And I will always be one step ahead, shooting me is the same as shooting yourself, I would have killed you in a split second but I will spare your beautiful ass let me clarify one thing for you don't mess with me.

Ciara pov

I didn't know he was Lucien my grandfather's business partner and I shot the head of a criminal organization, I never realize the consequences of my act, I just rolled with the flow now my ass could get barbecued and I need to run and hide but he is holding me so tight... "why were you stripping at the club, does your grandfather knows about these?

"is none of your business ".

"Okay, I will have to inform him". He turns his back walking back to the casino, I have no other option than to do something insane I hit him on the head and he fell on the floor and carried him to one of the presidential rooms and tied him up on the couch and waited there for some minutes he finally opens his eye.. "whoa, what the fuck happened to me? ".

As I opened my eyes, I scanned the place, and after a moment I realized the outline of someone, she is petite in shape and her tattoo says everything about who she is, she gives off an intimidating bad girl vibe... Hmm. I was so hungry for her I could not stand it but I was also pissed off as hell, even thou she is very obstinate I find her to be fascinating

Ciara pov

I don't know why he kept looking at me without saying anything so I decided to break the silence. "I'm sorry I knocked you out but look at the bright side you slept so that's a plus"...

"And why did hell did you do that".. He said with aggression and I walked closer to him I put on a brave and impersonal look but inside I was a wreck and I felt very anxious. A gloom settled over his face not as earlier, that man was enraged, yes it was a darling and risky move but it was necessary to get him to settle down, what he was thinking about at that moment was beyond my comprehension. However he did seem to be staring at me, he seemed desperate to break me, what the hell I didn't care if anything bad happened, the mood I was in at the time was dark and seductive, a dark romance that I didn't understand.. "before you yell at me, I need you to hear me out"..

"you are going to get it the hard way, you are going to regret these, I will kill you personally "...he said

"shut the fuck up, I have the right to do anything I want, I don't want you to interfere in my personal life, stay away from me, act as if we have never met before, avoid me, now behave yourself or I will shoot you again, now be quiet and pay attention, I don't want you to tell my grandfather anything, these secrets should be between me and you...

"untie me first"..

"shut the fuck up and listen"... He giggles and kept quiet, I'm not the kind of woman who would allow a powerful guy to dictate to me what to do what to wear, and how to behave in his territory, I will create my universal inside of his screwed up reality I want to triumph in his game of power, to get a beast like him to pay attention to you, you need to play his own game the hard way! I also love the man who will take me and drive me crazy, I like playing with flames and once you have been coached by his fire, you will always have the mark of it, I like the emotion I'm experiencing right now! I'm in charge right now! Fuck he is so hot I need to stand still, dem it my icy self is melting... "You need to stop eating me up with your gaze, if I untie myself I'm going to punish you so badly "... He said with a smirk

"Gosh, you are pissing me off, stay still ".. I said, he loosened himself with a fit of anger and pinned me to the wall... "How would you like your punishment to be? ".
