Chapter 1

Nicolo’s POV

“I think this warehouse is big enough to hold our upcoming shipment,” said Antonio as he turned to look at me “am I right Nico?”

We were at an old, abandoned warehouse near the sea. This will be one of my new warehouses as business have been blooming and I need more space to put the materials. This used to be a chemical factory which had been shut down for years now.

“The location is perfect. Plus, it’s near to main house.” I said as I looked around the warehouse. “Pay the amount and start working the magic in here asap”

“Yes boss” said my men as I looked at them.

Usually, I don’t do this myself but since Antonio kept bugging me, I had to come with him. He’s one lucky bastard as he is the only one who can do that.

As I turned to face Antonio, my cousin AKA my right-hand to let him know that I’m tired of warehouse hunting and want to leave, we heard a blast. My men ran outside with their guns to see what was happening.

“Seems like a yacht just got blown” said one of them as he came running in.

“A yacht?” Antonio said with a look which makes me think if he knows what that was about.

“Anto- “

“No time to explain” he said as he turned towards the men and said “get the speed boats ready”

“What is happening?” I asked with a pissed look.

“This isn’t my fault. I was supposed to hold you here for as long as I could until the Yakov’s have arrived. It was uncle’s orders”.

Oh he just did not say that. I already told my father that I will not marry some Yakov spoiled princess and now they planned this behind my back. What were they expecting? That I’ll welcome them with open arms and agree to marry that brat if they come unannounced?

So this is why he insisted on bringing me here. I was beyond pissed. I didn’t expect him to betray me like this. He was supposed to be on my side but then again, he can’t say no to my dad even though he’s no longer the head of the family.

“Fuck” I said as I got on the boat with him.

“What do you think would’ve happened” he said looking at me.

“I don’t know maybe the heavens know this marriage was a bad idea” I said sarcastically.

As we approached the now blown-up yacht, I see dead bodies floating in the ocean. The sight is nothing new to my eyes but now this will be my problem as it happened in my territory thanks to my father and asshole cousin who decided to do things on their own.

“That’s her” Antonio pointed at a girl who was barely conscious and holding onto what’s left of the yacht. By the time we approached her, she was already out cold.

Antonio and I got her in our boat, and I got a closer look at her. Blood was coming out of the right side of her arm. She seemed like an angel fallen from the sky. She had a small petite but perfect body with long chocolate colored hair.

Antonio opened his big mouth as I held her to see if she has got any more wounds “you can check her out once we get her treated”

“I wasn’t checking her out”

“Yeah yeah”

I stood up and ordered my men to bring all the survivors if there is any and I asked Antonio to get her home to be treated.

I couldn’t leave now.

Not until I find her parents as she was supposed to be here with them according to Antonio. If I leave without them, my father will blame me for what he failed to do.
