    Chapter Three Hundred Twenty


    Sephte


    That evening, once everyone in the office had gone home for the day, Trino and his guys


    stopped by. Gus and Oscar were with him, but Chen was absent this time. “He’s working on a


    contractor job. He said it was really important and he wants it to be perfect, so he couldn’t get


    away when we told him we wereing here tonight,” Gus said when I asked where he was, I


    smiled, knowing it was one of Adrik’s projects that he was working on.


    “Miha, you look much better this time,” Trino said when he walked into Adhik’s office. “How are


    you feeling?”


    “Better. It’s still too slow, but better,” I said. I’d still been coughing asionally when I talked.


    The cough sounded ho rrible, even though I was feeling


    better.


    Trino cursed in Spanish when he heard my cough. “She got pneumonia after she got home from


    the hospital. The doctor said it’smon after your lung copses,” Ivan said as he helped me


    onto the cab behind Adrik’s desk.


    “Dios mio, Miha. How are you still functioning?” he asked.


    Iughed. “Ask them. I haven’t beentely. I’ve done nothing but sleep for like an entire week.”


    Trino looked at Adrik, who nodded his head in confirmation. “Armando has had to suffer greatly


    because I’ve been bored without her,” he said, his sly


    smirk on his face.


    “I fully support this, Jefe,” Trino said.


    “What did you find at Sal’s house?” Adrik asked.


    Trino took a deep breath and blew it out loudly. He was clearly frustrated. “We found a tunnel


    underneath his house. That’s how they got out without my guys seeing anything, which is


    advantageous for my guys. I was ready to ki ll them if they’d fallen asleep and missed Sal leaving.”


    “We just don’t know exactly when they left. They could be anywhere by now,” Gus said.


    “They’re not anywhere. They’re in Italy,” I said.


    “And they left in the middle of the night a day and a half ago,” Ivan said.


    “Along with Niko and Vito at some point, as well,” Viktor added.


    “How do you know they’re in Italy, Miha?” Trino asked skeptically.


    “It’s the most obvious choice. There’s a very high likelihood that’s where Ricardo is as well. Sal is likely


    running to him for direction now that Lorenzo is dead. Niko and Vito are simply running after their


    master as well,” I said. Trino looked at me thoughtfully, but didn’t say anything. I caught Andrei’s eye.


    He was trying not to smile.


    “Who’s Ricardo?” Gus asked.


    “We think he’s really the one that’s behind this coup. He’s been working with Lorenzo for years, but he


    also has a rtionship with the other bosses as well. He’s the one that’s been pulling Armando’s


    strings behind the scenes. Likely since he was still an underboss. He’s been using a fake name this


    entire time. It was likely Ricardo that instructed him on what name to use to keep from raising suspicion


    with the other bosses, as well as my father,”


    Adrik said.


    Oscarughed quietly. “Italians are so dramatic,” he said quietly.


    “You are not wrong, Oscar,” I said.


    “What are you thinking, Jefe? Are you going after them?” Trino asked.


    Adrik thought for a few moments before answering. I knew he was torn about his answer, because of


    me. Were I not in the condition I was currently In, he would be much more willing to follow them to Italy


    and to end this all as quickly as possible. But given that travel likely wouldn’t agree with me very well


    right now, he was hesitant to follow them.


    “They cane to me. I’m not going anywhere with Sephie in this condition,” he said, firmly.


    “Do you think they’ll be back?” Oscar asked.


    “I do. Ricardo is apparently obsessed with me,” Adrik said, smirking. “Armando said Ricardo has been


    trying to overtake me for years, from both sides


    of the business.”


    “Your greatness irritates those not on your level, Jefe,” Trino said. All the guys looked at me. Even


    Adrik turned his chair so he could see me out of the corner of his eye. Trino noticed, giving me a


    questioning look.


    “I said almost the exact same thing earlier, Trino. Great minds think alike,” I said smiling at him. I


    motioned for Ivan to help me off the cab. I walked to Adrik, wanting to sit on hisp. Instead of


    staying at his desk, he stood up, pulling me to one of the couches. He helped me sit in hisp and lean


    back against him; my legs crossed in between his.


    Adrik put his lips close to my ear, asking quietly in Russian, “are you tired, solnishko? Do you need to


    go back upstairs?”


    “No, I’m okay. I was cold,” I said, pulling his arm around me tighter. I could feel the low vibration of his


    quietugh as he brushed my cheek lightly with his facial hair.


    “How is the situation with the Mexicans, Trino?” Ivan asked.


    “They got word of what happened to Anthony and Lorenzo, so they’ve been quiet so far. They still


    remember what I did when I took over in Colombia, Trino said.


    “I wouldn’t put it past Sal and Ricardo to keep in contact with them. They’re going to need help to make


    this happen, if that’s what they’re still trying to do,” I said, leaning my head back against Adrik’s


    shoulder.


    Trino looked at me thoughtfully for a moment. He started to ask a question, then stopped himself, then


    decided to ask it anyway. “Miha, how do you always know what you know? You’ve been with Jefe for


    such a short time and yet you know this business better than men who’ve grown up in it. You’re a very


    smart woman, don’t get me wrong, but I’ve literally never met anyone who knows the things you know


    after such a short time.”


    I felt Adrik hold me a little tighter as we all contemted how to answer Trino. It was Stephen that


    spoke first. “Sephie has a very unique ability to understand human psychology. Because of it, she can


    predict what people will do in certain situations.”


    Trino shook his head, like he wanted to believe Stephen, but he wasn’t sure he did. “It’s something


    else, for sure,” he said. “Is this why Armando took you? Surely he knows how unique you are.”


    I scoffed. “That’s aplicated answer, Trino.”


    “How so?”


    I could feel my anger starting to rise at the thought of Armando thinking he ever had a chance with me,


    but I tried to keep it under control, while making sure my eyes stayed normal. I took as deep a breath


    as I could. “When the bosses would meet at the restaurant I used to work at, Armando would stay after


    sometimes and help me clean up. He would ask me questions about my life, but I always got the


    impression that he was trying to set me up with his son, who is close to my age. ording to Dario,


    that was not the case at all. Apparently, both Armando and Sal had been eyeing me when Ghost came


    back. Dario thought they were going to get into a fight over me, but then I met Ghost and that option


    was taken off the table. I think it’s why Sal was going to sell me off to the highest bidder when they took


    me. He’s still pi ssed. Armando, too.”


    Ivan, who was sitting across from me and Adrik, said quickly in Russian, “blink, princess.”


    “Shi t,” I said, under my breath, closing my eyes for a second. I managed to cough to hopefully distract


    anyone who might’ve seen them. I opened them, looking to Ivan first. He nodded discreetly and winked


    at me.


    “Sephie thinks they’d put Armando into a bit of a leadership role while I was away. I think he and Sal


    had started to think they could run the city,


    either together or separately. The night I met Sephie was the night they recruited all the bosses to try to


    overthrow me. We’re still trying to find out how much of a role Ricardo has been ying this entire time.


    He seems to have more influence than he should for someone who isn’t a boss,” Adrik said.


    “We think he might have the mayor in his pocket as well,” Ivan said.


    Trino made a gesture like he was spitting. “Politicians. They’re all the same. They can all be bought for


    the right price.”

    King of the Underworld-Sephie and Max


    In my life as a waitress, I, Sephie - an ordinary person - endured the icy res and insults of customers


    while trying to earn a living. I believed that this would be my fate forever. However, one fateful day, the


    King of the Underworld appeared before me and rescued me from the clutches of the most powerful


    Mafia boss''s son. With his deep blue eyes fixed on mine, he spoke softly: "Sephie... short for


    Persephone... Queen of the Underworld. Atst, I have found you." Confused by his words, I


    stammered out a question, “P..pardon? What does that mean?” But he simply smiled at me and


    brushed my hair away from my face with gentle fingers: "You are safe now.” Sephie, named for the


    Queen of the Underworld, Persephone, she''s quickly finding out how she''s destined to fulfill her


    namesake''s role. Adrik is the King of the Underworld, the boss of all bosses in the city he runs. She


    was a seemingly normal girl, with a normal job until it all changed one night when he walked through


    the front door and her life changed abruptly. Now, she finds herself on the wrong side of powerful men,


    but under the protection of the most powerful among them.


    Sephie


    I hear my wh*te noise app cut off on my phone and my rm slowly getting louder. I wait for the


    chiming bells to stop before I roll over and hit the screen. With a deep breath, I muster the energy to


    get out of bed and drag myself to the shower.


    Sephie


    There is a steady stream of food to the back room throughout the night and the alcohol flows


    freely. I’ve gotten four smacks to my a*s in the first hour. All the boss’s eldest sons are there.


    Lucky me.


    Sephie


    After my short interlude outside, I returned to work and tried my best to act like nothing


    happened. Anthony had apparently been chastised while I was away because he kept his hands


    to himself...


    Sephie


    When I walked back into the meeting room, it waspletely empty. Everyone had vanished. I


    can’t say I was disappointed by this development. I busied myself with gathering up the empty


    sses and...


    Sephie


    I woke the next morning, well before my rm went off, feeling like my throat was on fire. I


    stretched and immediately regretted it, as my entire body felt like I had been run over by a very


    large vehicle..
