Adrianna POV

I have been working in a club not because I love it here but because this is the only way I am going to survive in L.A. The city is so expensive that I have two jobs to be able to pay for my rent and my needs. The job is easy, but the people here really make it hard for me

"Adrianna, the boss wants to see you in his office," Essie, my bestie said.

"What! What have I done this time?" I asked out of fear since there have been rumors that the boss is a part of the mafia.

"I do not know but you know that he will always have your back no matter what," she said.

Truth!!

Honestly I don't know why he always supports me in everything. He makes people think that I have slept with him while I haven't.

I nodded my head towards her direction before walking away. Let us see what this guy wants.

I walked upstairs, and then knocked at his door when I arrived outside the office.

"Come in," He shouted from the other side.

I opened the door slowly then walked in.

"Ooh, Adrianna my dear, you came?" He asked

"Yes, sir. You sent it to me. Do you want me to do anything for you?"

"AAH, yes. You are so beautiful, and it seems I cannot get you out of my mind. I want to fuck you endlessly. I promise you that the pay will be good," He said as he stood up and walked in front of me.

What! Who does he think I am? A whore or?

I shook my head at him." I am sorry sir but there are so many whores out there in the club. You can go and get yourself because I am not,"

"How dare you defy me," He said and slapped me, making me fall to the ground.

"I am your boss therefore you will have to listen and do whatever I tell you," He said.

"Over my dead body bastard," I said as I got up.

He wanted to punch me in the stomach, but I dodged it and gave him a smirk when he realized that he had missed.

"Oops, sorry your loss," I said, and it seemed to anger him because he ran towards me trying to lunge at me, but I punched him sending him flying back to his desk. He groaned in pain.

"You bitch, When I get my hands on you, you are going to regret it," He said as he spat at me.

"No, You are the one who is going to regret slapping me. Didn't your mother teach you never to lay a hand on a woman?" I asked him.

I knew that it was angering him but at this point I did not care about losing my job, or what would happen to me if his mafia comes after me but who cares? He is not the head of a mafia or something.

He timed when I was not concentrating on him and he punched me on the stomach.

"You bastard!" I snarred before punching him repeatedly.

Never

Ever

Beat

A woman

"You may never know who she is or where she comes from," I told him as I punched him

I do not know how long I have been punching him. I felt someone's hands removing me from him.

"Let go of me, bastard. I want to kill him," I shouted

"Stop. He will be killed nonetheless but not by you." a deep voice said. It was not the same person who was getting me away.

The voice came from the corner. I fled and turned towards the direction of the voice.

Ace Vincenzo!!

What is the Italian mafia leader doing here?

"I guess then you know me by your face expression?" He said

"What is the great, almighty, Ace Vincenzo doing here?"I asked

"So you know my full name? Not many know me. I keep my identity hidden. I am also sure that you just know me as the youngest, successful CEO," He said

"No Sherlock. When I say great and the almighty is because the guy standing Infront of me is The Italian mafia leader, Ace Vincenzo," I said with a grin

"how....?" The guy who had held me asked.

They both looked shocked btw

"What? You are not that good at hiding some details. Maybe you are able to do that to the world and some people but not me and besides your security codes in the mafia cam easily be hacked," I said and they looked at me as if I had seen a ghost.

"you know that since you know who I am I cannot let you go right?" He asked but I just shrugged around his question

Adrianna POV

"You know what Vincenzo, I am not that good at following orders," immediately I said that, I threw my daggers towards each of them then jumped through the window.

Luckily for me, I had texted Ivy and informed her to wait for me at the back because I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.

"Drive off quickly," I told her as soon as I climbed on her motorcycle.

"There she is," Someone shouted

"Come on Ivy, Do you want us to be caught," I whispered-yelled.

She drove off immediately.

"What the hell happened there Adria?" She asked.

"I may or may not have recognized and called the Italian mafia boss by his name," I said slowly, so I could catch my breath.

"The fuck! What have you gotten yourself into Adria?" She asked worriedly.

"Nothing I cannot take care of," I told her even though I knew that I was playing a dangerous game with the most dangerous man in the underground and in business.

She rode fast but unluckily for us his men were still following us.

"What if we go through the tunnel?" I suggested

"Good idea" she answered and changed direction

After half an hour we made it to our house safely without anyone following us

"Tell me everything" she insisted

"Oops, I am very sorry, but I have to get a shower first" I said running upstairs

I knew that she would me therefore I went directly to the bathroom and locked it cause when Ivy wants an info she will do anything to get it out of you.

When I was in the bathtub, I would only see Vincenzo's handsome face. I have to get him out of my mind cause I am sure that he is searching for me like a criminal.

Walking out of the bathroom, I found Ivy on my bed making me roll my eyes. I walked to the closet and chose a blue booty short and a black baggy tee-shirt then walked out.

"So, where are you running to next?" She asked and I raised my eyebrow to her

"It seems you don't want to tell me" She complained

"So you wanted me to tell you what happened when I was all covered in blood?" I asked her

"That's not it" she said

"Then what?" I asked her

"Argh! Just tell me already" She said

"Okay, Okay, Okay Don't get mad" I told her

I told her what happened in the club.

"Damn Did you really have to show them that you know how to fight" She asked me

"What did you want me to do?" I asked

"To just fuck your employer, what is his name again? Argh! His name is not important here. If I were you, I would allow him to fuck me then I kill him later just like I do to my victims" She said while winking at me and I shook my head

"I am not you, Ivy" I said

"I know but at least you wouldn't have allowed yourself to get caught by the Italian mafia" She said

"Then what? I have not been paid to kill any of the Italian mafia men" I told her

"Sadly" She said and paid on my bed

As much as I wanted to sleep, I couldn't Because I was hungry I walked out of my bedroom and walked to the kitchen

Yes, I have a lot of them, Actually I am a billionaire Many of you can ask why I am working at the club and café instead of working or having a company I didn't get any college education nonetheless high school therefore if people find out that I am rich they will start to ask where my money comes from working in a club pays a lot I only work as a bartender on Tuesday and Thursday then the rest of the days I work as a stripper I also do lap dances, So most of the time, I go home with more than a hundred thousand dollars, So some people know that I am rich but not that rich I am sure they will be shocked when they find out that I am a billionaire.

A disadvantage that will definitely come with people knowing about my true status is that most people will pretend to be my biological parents and even come up with a very convincing story of how I ended up with a very convincing story of how I ended up in an orphanage. Currently, I am in no mood to go through that shit. You can call me selfish proud of even arrogant,, but I don't give a fuck. As much as life has not been fair to me and Ivy in our childhood, we got to enjoy it now when we have money we always make sure that we donate to the orphanage we were brought up so every month we got and spent it with those kids I can do anything for them because they see us as their big sisters and role models even though we always tell them not to dream or want to be like us.

I cooked pasta, Unfortunately I have never gotten a job to assassinate anyone in Africa, I would like to go there I walked to the living room after finishing eating I did not find Ivy, therefore I knew she is working on the computers. She hardly lives in that place.

I took some snacks and walked to her office "What are you working so hard on?" I asked when I saw her glued on the screen

"Just some information" She said

"Really? Just some information?" I asked her raising my eyebrows even though I knew she couldn't see me.

"Yeah" She said

"Sort yourself then" I told her "I am taking the snacks with me"

I took them and walked to my room I switched on the TV and started watching. My destiny soap opera. It is always so romantic and makes me feel jealous I watched as I ate snacks

After a while, The door was opened by force and Ivy came in running

"What's wrong? Can't I watch my soap opera in peace?" I asked her cause this is not the first time she did it therefore I knew nothing was wrong. She rolled her eyes, making me glare at her

"There is someone who is trying to get your details" she said

"What do you mean?" I asked her because I was already getting worried

"Someone is trying to know who you are, where you live, your parents, family" she said but she was so relaxed

"Who are they?" I asked her

"I don't know I tried hacking into their system, but I was unsuccessful" she said

"Why are you so relaxed when they have my details? Don't you know that we can get caught or worse be killed?" I asked her

"I know that, but who do you think I am? Why do you have little faith in me?" She asked and I relaxed a bit.

"You had hidden our details?" I asked

"Of course"she said and I breathed out the breath that I didn't realise that I had held.

Ace POV

I have been trying to figure out where the Russian leader is hiding, but I have been unsuccessful so far. All of his men who we have captured so far are useless. It is either they don't know where he is or give us a location when we go there we find the place empty I know that I cannot give up right now. This will be letting my family and mafia down. As the don, I am supposed to deal with all the threats to the la familia.

"Yo bro" Bob, my best friend called out, making me come back to my senses.

"What do you want?" I asked irritatingly.

"Oops, My bad" He said, earning a glance from me

"Okay, Okay I know you are stressed, trying to figure out where Daniel is,, but bro you really need a break" He said.

"You know that we don't take breaks" I said,

making him sigh

"Yes, We do now come on man get your ass up, and let us go to the club and have some fun" He said.

"I am not in the mood of clubbing" I told him and continued looking at the files.

"No, I am not going to listen to you today, Now get your ass of that chair" he said.

As much I wanted to shout at him or even better kill him, I couldn't because he's not only my best friend but also a second-in-command. I am glaring at him, but it seems that he is not affected by him at all by it therefore, I stopped.

"Where is Paul?" I asked him.

"He is waiting for us in the living room" he said.

Wait!? Did I hear him correctly?

"Don't tell me that he is also in this stupid idea" I said.

"Of course, He is, Why can't he not be?" he asked.

"I will one day kill both of you with my bare hands" I told him.

"You know, You can't do that, right?" he asked.

Clearly from his voice, He was proud of it. I really felt like smacking him but I had to tolerate my anger. Getting out of my chair, I took my car keys and left the office, making sure to close the door on his face. You better call me arrogant then a bitch if you want to see me another day. My sister is the only one who can escape my warth by calling me a bitch when I am mad.

I walked to the living room and found Paul playing games on his phone. Upon hearing footsteps, He looked up and saw me. He looked around me than frowned.

"What's the matter?" I asked him.

"Where is bob?" he asked.

"I don't know, Am I supposed to know?" I asked him glaring.

"He came to your office some minutes ago" he said.

"My bad, he didn't show up there" I said and walked past him.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked as he came to the living room.

"Can we go before I change my mind?" I told them, Making Bob shit up while Paul stood.

I lead them to the garage. I am sure none of them want to drive So, I will have to drive I walked towards my jeep and unlocked it.

We got in and drove to one of my clubs. The reason as to why I agreed with their stupid plan was because I also wanted to meet with the manager because I find something fishy with the income that they're getting. The sum doesn't add up. I hope that he is not stealing from me because he will regret it.

It was a half an hour drive. We arrived and walked past the queue which people were making so that they could be allowed to get in. Some people looked at us with fear. They know that I am heartless, and I guess they know that this is one of my clubs.

We walked in after giving the bouncers a bod in return. The club was so full and this makes me suspicious about the finical report that I have been getting.

"There is something fishy" I said to no one in particular, but I could see Paul's and Bob's direction attracted to me.

We sat in the VIP section.

"Why don't you want us to go the office today?" Bob asked.

"I want to observe how the business here is going" I answered

"Why do you think that something is fishy?" Paul asked

"The place is full and that is not what the finical report says" I answered

"What does it claim then?" Bob asked

"That there are always less people and even when you count the amount of people indicated there and what they bought does not add up with the money deposited on the account that day" I said

"So, You mean the amount deposited on the account and on the reports are different?" Bob asked

"Yes" I simply answered, Making them nod their head in agreement

"Why don't we go and ask receipt book then we will find out?" Paul asked

"Yeah, that's a great idea" Bob answered, and we walked towards the bartender.

Upon, seeing us he started trembling, making Paul and Bob chuckle

's....Si.....Sir" he acknowledged my presence and I just gave him a nod in return.

"Can I get receipt book?" I asked him, and he seemed afraid of someone and I am sure it was not me.

"Sir, we were told not to give it to you" He said.

Damn, I like the confidence with this kid. He can even stand against me!!

Wait!! Did he just say they were told not to give it to me!

I raised an eyebrow to him, and he stepped back.

"By, Who?" Bob asked.

"I am sorry but if I say I will end up losing my job" the bartender said.

"So, that is what he threatened you with, fantastic" Paul said.

"I am sorry but if you won't give me what I want you will not lose your job but something more important than that" I said, but he just shrugged making me smirk.

"You know kid, it has been long since I killed someone, and I am sure you don't want to be the first, do you?" I asked him

At that he shivered

"But..... But....he said" he tried explaining, but I guess my glare shut him up.

"Are you sure after I give that to you that won't either kill me nor make me lose my job?" he asked.

"You can say something like that now give me what I want" I told him

"Give me some minutes, so that I can go and get it from the cashier" he said, making me nod.

"Damn, that was something else, he really was confident standing against you" Paul said.

"I know right, Maybe he doesn't know that Ace is the owner of this club" Bob said.

"Yeah, I guess your right, but Who is he talking about? Who is threating him?" Paul asked

"I don't know, maybe we can ask him when he comes back?" Bob said

Someone times these two talk and forget that I am with them. That thought made me shake my head.

After waiting for the kid to come back for 15 minutes he came back carrying 3 receipt books

"Here, they are, boss" he said

I signalled him to leave.

I started going through the books so that I can know if I am wrong or not.
