CHAPTER TWENTY ONE


    CHAPTER TWENTY ONE


    SIN’''S POV


    I leaned back on my sofa chair, my head tilted toward the ceiling, and my eyes were closed when the door opened. I knew who it was without opening


    my eyes. Only one person would daree into my room without permission.N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    I opened my eyes and caught sight of Luca strolling in. He closed the door behind him, leaned against it, and crossed his arms in front of his chest.


    "Seriously?" he asked as he stared at me, his face expressionless.


    "Am I supposed to know what that means?" I fired back without answering his question. I knew what he was talking about, but I had no desire to


    discuss that matter. It was none of his business who I decided to keep or not.


    I stood up and walked over to the small bar. "You know, there were better ways of taking out Fabian. Not in front of Mani and Zoey.”


    After I poured some whiskey into two sses, Luca took one from my hand and sipped slowly.


    We both stared at each other; the air was tense around us. When his ss was empty, he ced it on the bar and turned back toward me.


    "What are you up to, Sin?” he asked, giving me a strange look.


    I shrugged. "Why do you think I''m up to something?”


    Luca scoffed and shook his head. "Because you never do anything without a n. First, you take her against her will, which is something you''ve


    never done. I thought for a second, maybe she was the one. " He paused for a second and then asked slowly, “Butst night when I saw her, she was


    barely herself and seemed lost in thought. Most of all, she was wearing your shirt. which meant something had happened between you two."


    I red at him. If it were someone else questioning my decision, they would be on the ground writhing in pain. But Luca was my second inmand


    We were born two weeks apart. His father was my father''s second inmand. When I took over, it was never in question that he would be my


    second. He was my brother, yet it still didn''t help that I was angry at the fact that he had seen her in nothing but my shirt.


    "You have no right to be concerned about Mani and me. Whatever happenedst night has nothing to do with you." I said through gritted teeth. He


    gets on my nerves sometimes.


    "If you truly like her, then I suggest you start treating her right, or she might end up hating you more.”


    "Didn''t I just say to mind your fucking business?" I responded harshly.


    Luca sighed and stepped away from the bar. "I''m just saying you shouldn''t do anything you would regretter on.”


    "I make no promises.” I say with a smirk, taking a sip of my drink.


    Luca shakes his head, puffing out a breath before muttering something under his breath. I guess it was a cuss word, which made me smirk even


    more


    "When does your flight leave?" I asked, turning to gaze at him


    “Tomorrow morning.” He replies, twirling the ss of drink in his hand. "I will try to get everything sorted out while you take care of the party before


    coming over."


    Inod. "And the crew."


    " They are already in Paris." He answers. "I better go get ready." I turned toward therge windows, dismissing him. I heard his feet shuffling and


    then the door pulsing open.


    "You still haven''t answered if she is the one,” Luca calls out.


    I looked down at the ss in my hand as I moved it around my fingers.


    "She is," I answered, bringing the ss to my lips.


    A smile made its way to my lips as I thought aboutst night. I was intrigued. My body was coursing with excitement.


    I was ready and wanted to uncover her,yer byyer. until I knew everything. Everyst detail And when I was done, her very thoughts and feelings


    would be consumed by me


    I let out a smallugh. Shaking my head, I thought about the seemingly innocent girl I saw on the dance floor two months ago. The moment I saw her,


    I knew I had to have her, even if it meant going against my will.


    Why?


    Simple. She intrigued me.


    A few minutester, I was still standing in front of therge windows that overlooked the majestic back garden. My phone rang in my pocket. and I


    quickly took it out, answering the call without looking.


    "What?" I barked


    "Sin, we''ve got a problem at the warehouse,” one of my men said. My hand tightened around the phone, and I groaned.


    "A shipment has been dyed," he continued, his voice shaky with fearced underneath it.


    "Can''t you do anything bloody right?” I yelled through the phone, "Find out what happened; I''m on my way.” I said that and hung up without waiting for


    an answer.


    I walked away from the window and out of the room, making my way to my car.


    The nice, chilly breeze touched my hard body as I exited my car and made my way towards the old warehouse in the centre of the woods. I entered


    the home as the two guards who were stationed outside instantly nodded their heads in respect. As soon as I entered, the stench of rotting blood


    made me scrunch up my nose. Mateo approached me after spotting me.


    "Si riuscito a ottenere qualcosa da quel bastardo. (Were you able to get anything out of the bastard?)" I asked. My eyes were glued to the poor,


    bloody body of a man who was lying down and waiting to die.


    ‘Lamia paura.di no, capo. Questa


    fica sembra I determinata a tenere


    ba chiusa, e imagino che tutto x


    laddestramento de polizia sia =


    stato utile (I''m afraid not, bosssThis


    crimital seems determined tokeep


    his.xriouth shut, I guess all that


    palice training was useful" Matteo


    Said in a stern voice.


    "I guess I have to handle him myself. Let''s see how long he can keep that mouth shut." I said, my eyes never leaving the man lying in front of me. My


    heart was filled with satisfaction to see him groaning in pain.


    This is what happened to everyone who got in my way. They are left begging for death


    "What about the shipment?”


    "We were able to get some. The rest would be brought to us by tomorrow. Everything has been sorted out along with whatever evidence they


    collected," Matteo answered


    “Get me the list of goods in their hands, as well as the file for the new casino I acquired.”


    "Yes, boss." Matteo bows as I dismiss him.


    My eyes followed the fresh blood stain through the basement wall as scon as it was there. I knelt down to the man''s level in front of me and examined


    each wound on his body. He was filthy and bloody. Even more horrible blood odour was released. His shirt had rips in it and was stained with blood.


    I lowered my hand and applied pressure to the fingers where his nails had been broken, leaving a coating of dark wounds in their ce.


    As I continued to press into them, he shouted in pain. My ears were soothed by his sobbing and pleading, and I started to chuckle.


    As soon as his teary eyes met mine, I noticed that they were filled with terror. He attempted to speak but was unsessful.


    I stood up, went in the direction of the chair, and set it in front of his bleeding body. He was fearfully awaiting my next move as his eyes followed every


    step I took.


    I couldn’t help butugh at his pitiful condition. I was aware that if I touched him, he would pass away. He would definitely perish at my hands, but not


    before giving me the information I desired.


    "I admire your strength," I said with sincerity. "Any man in your ce would have broken a long time ago, but not you." I examined his swollen ankles


    and burn marks all over his arms. "Too bad you thought you could mess with me.”


    "Y-you... are Sin...?" He managed to ask. His tone conveyed dread and horror to me.


    "And... you are... unfortunate?” I imitated, making mockery of him before letting out a deep chuckle. "Crossing part with me. Now let''s get to the point.


    Who told you where the shipment is?" I asked in a stern voice.


    "I don''t know anything! A call was made to the precinct telling us where the shipment was going to be. The captain in charge had been the one to take


    the call. I don''t know anything else. I s-swear." He begged for his life, and I let him do it. enjoying the thrill of it.


    "Why do I find that hard to believe?" I


    spoke, gritting my teeth, leaning


    down as my etsows rested on my


    knees, my eyes zing with fire


    from wanting to know the answers.?


    ‘You have been quiet for days, and


    the first thing you say is that yau


    haveno clue who gave you the


    inférmation. You could do better


    than that, don''t you hink-so,


    Benjamin?" His eyes widened,


    Surprised to see that someone knew


    his name, despite how well he tried


    to keep anything about his life and


    that of his family out of the public


    eye.


    "How... did you?"


    "How did I find out?" I asked,


    amused. "Nothing gets past me,


    Benjamin. It''s-one thing to steal from


    me and another to lie.” My ws dug


    into his skin as I tightly gripped his”


    already bruised jaw. "As you carrsee,


    I''m met ying here, so let''s get


    straight to the point, shall we? Who


    sént you? Was it Romangy?" My


    grasp around his jaw grew more


    firm as I emphasized every word in


    an effort to get an answer.


    >


    He groans out, "You will have to try better than that because I don''t n on telling you any damn thing.” Heughs: "I heard you got yourself a new


    whore. Make sure to keep her on tight leash because you never know when that bitch..."


    I raised myself to my feet and pulled out my gun. I didn''t wait for him to finish speaking before shooting him three times in the forehead without


    thinking twice.


    Taking out a hankie, I cleaned my hands, tossing it to the floor as I exited the warehouse without a second look at the dead body.


    "Sbarazzati di quel fottuto bastarde (remove that fucking bastard)” I seethed out as the guards nodded their heads, quickly running into the


    warehouse to obey what Imanded.


    I got into my car as Mateo started the engine.


    "What did he say?" He asked.


    How dare he think he could threaten Mani? How dare he refer to her in such a manner?


    My fist clenched with anger as I wondered how he was able to get details about her in the first ce.


    "Sin." Mateo called out, snapping me out of my thoughts.


    "I wasn''t able to get anything concrete out of him." I replied. “Search for the men with him and find out if they know anything.”


    "Yes, boss," he answers, driving out of the warehouse driveway.


    I tried to calm myself by closing my eyes. My thoughts immediately rxed as they turned to my little temptress.


    Her petite frame, long blonde hair that was now touching her perfect round ass, and a delicate, innocent appearance


    It had taken all of my might for me to restrain myself from having her right there in my office. I refused to make her first time with me be in such a


    manner since I was certain that she had only ever been with me.


    I was aware that I was in danger of letting go of myposure and that I would very certainly have hurt her if I had had my way.


    I recalled how she had responded when I had sent her to her room. My lips curled up to the side as I noticed the annoyance and fury in her gaze,


    which she was trying to hide. She was ignorant of the fact that I shared her frustration.


    She was unaware of how much control she had over me.


    one that could drive me insane.
