“Miklos, I need you to start searching for all the financial statements of Baros. Check every single one of his businesses and get the profit and loss statements.”
I’m looking over at Balak and Alek who are pacing around the area where our prisoner was. They look pissed off.
“Balak, I need you to watch him. Wherever he moves, I want to know. Alek, I want you to find out what’s taking our shipment so long from Africa. I have buyers wanting those stones now.”
Everyone is quick to follow the directions I gave them. Now it is my turn to go to the office and start looking over the paperwork which Felipe had stolen.
My mind is still high on sex and it is a little cloudy. Fucking Vera is hot and mindblowing.
Vera is leaving the main hallway with her friend. She looks over her shoulder to nod my way. I nod back at her and continue going to my new office. I must know what type of mess was left for me to clean up.
It is hard to believe it has only been a day since The Andino Crime Family took over the ski lodge.
Walking into the office with all of the information, I see the mess that fucker left. I should have killed him when I had the chance. Paperwork is everywhere and the desk looks ransacked.
I’m pissed as fuck, but there is nothing I can do about it right now.
I have to figure out how to launch an attack on Baros for fucking with my business.
Sitting down in the office chair, I begin to look through all of the documentation over the past year with the ski lodge. It looks like it is a pretty profitable place which is confusing since the previous owners didn’t pay back their loans at all.
I begin to get to work and lose myself in the numbers when there is a knock on the door. “Who is it?” I call out.
There is no way in hell I would leave the door open after everything that has happened.
I reach under the desk to grab the gun I know is there. I have it in my hands and aimed at the door when it cracks open.
Another one of my men sticks his head through the door. Gage is a younger member of my family who has joined the ranks a couple of months ago. Normally I wouldn’t take a member so young, but he is ruthless. He’s the type you want on your side.
“What is it, Gage?” I set down the papers in front of me to focus on him.
“There has been an attack on headquarters and three million Euros worth of diamonds has been stolen.”
My fist slams against the desk causing it to creak from the blunt force of my rage.
“How the fuck did you let this happen?” I yell.
Gage takes it like a champ. He knows me well enough to know I mean business. “We didn’t let it happen. We were coming back from the drop when a tank comes charging out of our depository.”
I shake my head. That rat mother fucker.
There is another knock on the door. This time I’m pissed off. I don’t want to be bothered by this bull shit right now. “Who is it?”
Vera pokes her head in with tears streaming down her eyes. Her friend is holding her shoulders as they shake.
I instantly spring into action. “What happened?” I demand. I have murder on my mind after my products got stolen and now Vera is so visibly upset.
Her friend is the one that speaks up. “Vera’s car was set on fire. Someone moved it and set it on fire towards the end of the lot.”
Alki Baros doesn’t fuck around. Too bad for him because I’m coming to win. He’s not going to beat me at this game.
Chapter Eighteen
Vera
I can't help but know why this happened. My father wanted to set a point, and he did it. I’m no longer protected by the family and he had to show me that somehow.
Standing in front of my car which is burned to the crisp at home, I know what happened. My father is pissed off at me for sleeping with the enemy. It isn’t as if I ask for a family tree before sleeping with someone. It happened. I know I shouldn’t have slept with him again, but he’s delicious.
