Ace POV
After going through the receipts for two good hours, I found what I wanted.
"I cant believe that someone is so naive to steal from us under our noses," Bob said
"Yeah. Me too but lucky to me that I had missed tutoring people," Paul said with an evil grin on his face making me shake my head. He is really a lunatic.
"Can we go and pay him a visit in the office?" Bob asked me and I nodded my head.
"Great, let us go," Paul said and started walking towards the office.
After nearing the office, we heard some shouts and warnings. What the hell is going on there? I asked myself and looking at the two men standing beside me, it seemed that they were also asking the same question which I am.
I opened the door slightly to prevent attention from the people in the room. After the door was ajar, I was still surprised as to why no one had heard me opening the door.
We saw a lady in a waitress outfit with her back facing us. I am sure that sick bastard is in front of her. It does not seem as if they were f**king.
"Oops. Sorry, your loss," the woman said and it seemed to anger him because we saw the manager run towards her trying to lunge at her but she 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 her.
They had not noticed that they had company. Whoever this woman is, is so feisty and I like that.
"No. You are the one who is going to regret slapping me. Didnt your mother teach you never to lay a hand on a woman?" She asked him.
I knew that it was angering him and that made us chuckle. It seems that she was thinking about something because she didnt see the man standing up and running towards her. He punched the lady on the stomach causing her to stumble backwards, nonetheless, she did not fall down. I guess she is strong then.
"You bastard!" She snarred before punching him repeatedly.
"Never
ever
Beat
a woman
you may never know who she is or where she comes from," she told him as she punched him.
She kept punching him and the manager had already lost consciousness. I signed Paul and Bob to get her off the man. As much as I wanted to see him dead, he cannot die till I find answers as to why he was stealing from me of all the people. Was he that stupid that he thought that I would never find out?
"Let go of me, bastard. I want to kill him," the waitress shouted.
"Stop. He will be killed nonetheless but not by you," I said, making her stay still because of my authoritative voice. She did not utter a singke word and atbthat time I thought that she had gone dumb. Yaah, I know people fear me but after seeing how she handled my manager, I was sure that at least she wont be afraid of me then. She escaped from Pauls grip and turned towards my direction. I am sure she was so curious to know who it was.
I was stunned at her beauty. The curves came out still in those short skirts and the breasts were full. She had black hair and some purple strands and sky blue eyes. Looking at her eyes made me forget everything about who or what surrounded me. I found myself wanting her. Not only holding her but also kissing her and her being in my bed, under me.
What are you thinking of Ace? Stop being a manwhore and concentrate on the problem before us. My subconscious said and I averted my eyes from her.
Something flicked in her eyes but I was unable to see what it was because she was really good and hiding her emotions and expression. But one thing I know is that she knew who I was.
"I guess then you know me by your face expression?" I said.
"What is the great, almighty, Ace Vincenzo doing here?" She asked, making all of us stand still.
Many people who know me by my name, know that I am a CEO but what they dont know is that I use the company to hide my illegal business.
"So you know my full names? Not many know me. I keep my identity hidden. I am also sure that you just know me as the youngest, successful CEO," I said.
"No sherlock. When I say great and the almighty is because the guy standing in front of me and talking to me is The italian mafia leader, Ace Vincenzo,"she said with a grin and I froze.
How the hell does she know that? Even my own associates do not know what the Italian mafia leader looks like. So how does she know? Who is she?
"How..?" Paul asked.
Looking at Pauls and Bobs face they were just as shocked as I was and I knew that they were trying to figure out the woman in front of them.
"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 can easily be hacked," She said.
What!
Does she know that the way she speaks will make her get caught and maybe killed?
You know that you already like her and you want her in your bed so I am sure that you will protect her from being killed. My mind said. I hate how it was correct. But after having sex with her that does not mean that I cannot kill her. I will be using her to satisfy my own needs.
"You know that since you know who I am I cannot let you go, right?" I asked her but she just shrugged around my question. No one has ever done that when I am talking to them apart from my family. Honestly I feel disrespected. I will surely teach a lesson cause there is no way I am letting her go.
"You know what Vincenzo, I am not that good at following orders," immediately she said that, she threw her daggers in our direction before jumping through the window.
We did not get time to follow her cause we got cover so that the daggers cannot do damage to us. I realised afterwards she was not aiming at injuring us. It was meant to keep us busy as she flew away.
Shit!!
"Send guards to follow her. I want her. Dont let her escape," I told Paul and Bob.
I got out quickly and climbed into my car. I saw her in a motorcycle driving off and I followed her. It seemed like a car chase but I did not care cause I wanted her held. No one disrespected me and got away with that. I am the most feared man in the world and here she is saying whatever she wants to me and gets away with her!
They saw me following them and they turned to the left. It was an alley only fitted for the bike.
Shit!!
"Boss," someone called me. Since I was so furious, I shot the guy making the rest move behind.
"What is your work? I gave you all just one job. To follow her but you failed, you all are fired," I shouted.
"But.." They tried talking me out of this but there was no way I would satisfy them.
"Just shut up, unless any of you have something which will be useful in finding her then you are willing to be saved from my wrath," I told them.
One cannot come out of the mafia. The only way is by death. Therefore, when I tell them that they are fired, they know that in short they will be killed.
"Boss, her name is Adrianna," one of the men said.
Adrianna! I really wanted to repeat that name but I couldnt do it in front of my men.
"Boss, we dont know more but am sure there is much about her and location in the emoloyees file," another said.
Actually, why didnt I think about that instead of chasing after her like a lunatic?
We went back to the club and got the file. There was nothing important there. The only details it had was her size, height, hair colour, age and full name Adrianna Larsen.
"What did you really think? That you would find her details there?" Paul asked.
"You fool, if she knows even about your real name and your occupation in the mafia, that means that she has also hidden hers," Bob said. As much as I wanted to strangle him for carrying me a fool, I couldnt.
"She is not that stupid. Who is stupid to cross her line with you even after knowing who you really are and leave her information to run free?" Paul asked.
"But we can try searching for more details about her on the internet," Bob said, giving me a little hope.
I nodded my head at them.
"Come on, let us leave so that we can get to that when we get home. Ooh, and dont worry about the manager he is already in the basement," Paul said.
Even though they annoy me so much, I really need them in my life.
We walked out of the club and climbed my car and left.
I drove like a mad man. I was aware that their attention was on me cause I felt their gazes. I really dont know what is wrong with me. Maybe the fact that Adrianna disrespectful me, makes me angry. No one talks to me like she did. She even addressed me by my second name. Her lady really had a death wish. At the same time, I want her for my own benefits. I cant stop thinking about her blue eyes. They are so beautiful. Honestly, I really want my donna to be like her.
