Secrets that could ruin us

Adric’s POV

Last night after I found out Father is responsible for all these attacks, the bastard killed the don and Donna(wife/queen) of the Spanish cartel, they waited this long to attack us, and I had a feeling they had no idea Father is dead, what father died I never gave him the burial a leader deserves because he failed as a father, I just took over the mafia and started afresh, some did ask about him while many didn’t. No one cared about a ruthless vicious leader like him.

Stephen informed me of what he has done in the past, the bastard has made a lot of mafia suffer and he had a prostitution ring, he was engaged in human trafficking where he committed many illegal and vicious crimes. There is no surprise to that, I expected him to be a part of this but when I found out Calla’s father had some hand in his business I needed to call her, maybe she would know something about Santiago.

We spent hours in the office going through his files and Calla was there to help, I did send her back home to check on her father’s files, if I could find anything about Santiago, maybe a reason why he attacked my family and killed them, could it be the Spanish cartel doing this but if they did they won’t be back for more again if they killed my mom and sister then their revenge should be done by now.

It has to be someone else, another reason why Father never wanted me to find out shout Santiago and Calla’s father knew this truth.

“What are we going to do?.”

“I have no part in his illegal prostitution ring, I’m still quite surprised it’s functioning despite his death, he has created so many enemies and God forbid they all want to take revenge, I will be doomed.”

“Maybe let the world know he is dead.”

“They won’t rest at that, I’m his blood, I’m forced to inherit his enemies, those enemies are mine as well.” I breathed out.

“We have to find a way to stop the Spanish cartel then.”

“He didn’t only murder the don and the Donna.” My hacker says and Stephen and I both turn to him.

What does he mean by that, fucking hell, how much more damage has he done?

“They had a daughter, no one knows where she is, she was never found.”

“Don’t fucking tell me,” I whispered.

“He sold her,” Stephen muttered against his breath.

“If we are able to find her. She can stop this, she is the rightful heir to the throne.”

“What makes you think she would want to help the son of a murderer, he ruined her life and I know she fucking hates him.”

“Stephen,” I mumbled. “Do you think she- fuck.” He says interrupting me.

“She broke out, she wants revenge. All along we thought his second in command who took over the power was in control but I don’t think he is, they found her and there is no stopping her. She won’t rest until she destroys all of us.” I say to both of them.

“Fucking hell,”

“We have to kill her before she kills us, we have to put an end to the Spanish cartel,” I say with a heavy heart.

She doesn’t deserve to die after my father destroyed her family and her, she deserves to live but it’s either her or Maya, I have to protect one of them, I know I won’t be able to stop the Spanish cartel despite having nothing to do with the prostitution ring but fucking hell, I don’t have much of a choice than to kill her.

“We kill her, we find her and kill her and as for Santiago we have to get to him before it’s too late and if I’m not wrong, the reason they wanted to hire him was to kill me.”

“Why didn’t he agree to kill you if that is the case?.” Stephan asks.

“I have no idea, it’s an assumption, and if it’s true then we have to find him, he is the only one who can answer our questions,” I say and he nods.

We were a little close to finding Santiago, I have a meeting with the French mafia today, and it was suspicious how they were ready to have this meeting without asking many questions, I thought I would have to convince them to have this meeting, I know this could be a trap so I had the meeting to take place somewhere else.

It won’t be on my territory but someone else’s, and I know they won’t want to have a war coming to them from him so they won’t attack while they are in his territory but once I leave I have to watch my back, they would be watching me.

I didn’t want to leave Maya at home with security, I can’t trust any of them so she would be coming with me, she would be in the car throughout the meeting away from the eyes of everyone, and just in case they know my location, they won’t be able to find her.

“Prepare for the meeting, Calla will figure out what the rest is.”

“She will be there.”

“No, but she will be on standby, they won’t know about her she can be protecting us from the inside and I fucking hope she finds something about Santiago,” I muttered against my breath.

“What if the Spanish cartel attacks?.” Stephen says.

I did think of that, if they attacked it would be like we attacked and the French mafia won’t believe it’s them without proof, the CCTV footage of them going into the building won’t do much, one of the fuckers bought an apartment to make it believable they came to visit him, we have to find solid evidence.

“We would be attacking one of their warehouses to create a distraction from me.” I smile.

I had everything planned out for today, it’s going to be a hectic day.
