Adrianna POV.She started crying and I got mad."Can someone tell me who hurt her?" I asked the kids."I am sorry, Adrianna. But no, he will hurt him once more," Ken said and I looked at him."So no one is going to tell me?" I asked once more and they all kept quiet."You knew," I told Ivy and she looked down."Why didn't you tell me anything?" I asked her."I am sorry Ria but I can't," she said and I walked away."You know what, don't tell me. I can find that out on my own," I told her and walked away.I drove home, went directly to my room and took out my laptop. Even though Ivy is the one who had built Victor's building security system. I can easily hack them because I know her tactics. After hacking on the CCTV, I saw nothing unusual today. I played and noticed that some parts were removed. I decided to look at the actual footage. There I saw Emily being dragged into Victor's room by Max, later Max walked out. After some hours, she walked out crying and limping. I wondered what Vi

Adrianna POV.I have been so busy since I killed Victor. Ivy has gotten over the pain she had gone through. I really blamed myself for not figuring it out. We have been trying to track down Elijah but he has gotten very good at hiding. I haven't been given any job to assassinate him but the fact that he is holding women hostage makes me want to kill him. I am an assassin therefore I have done some jobs for him but I have never killed the innocent. Before I kill someone, I always do a background check on them. Lily and Ivy have gotten pretty close but Ivy knows that she can't include her into our lifestyle. We employed her as our housekeep so that Maria can at least get some rest. They have been helping each other since she got well. While Lilly works in our house, Maria works in her other employer's house. I found out that Lily got cancer when she completed her senior highschool. Right now, she is working extra hard so that she can save money to join a college. Even though Ivy doesn'

Ace POV.Weeks have passed since the Charity ball. I have been tracking down Adrianna but that woman knows how to hide. I haven't even gotten gold from the information. I also don't know her surname. I am really impressed by her tactics. Dad, on the other hand, has been pushing me to the edge. He claims that he wants the girls on our side as soon as possible. I don't know why but there isn't much I can do other than to listen to them. Abigail and Mike moved from Mexico to here. Mike is planning on opening a restaurant so they will be here for a while, Mark on the other side, he lives here but the guy loves to travel so much. He doesn't care whether he has classes or not. If his head tells him to go to a certain country for a month, then he will go. I wonder how he manages to stay at the top. I guess that is the reason as to why mom and dad never mind what he is doing. He told them a long time ago that they should not expect him to inherit any family business, he wants to start from cr

Ace POV.I took her to the basement when we arrived home. I had drugged her so that means that I have tomorrow hours before she wakes up. After tying her up, I walked back to the mansion. They were all shocked to see me. I guess they expected me not to be back very soon."What are you doing here?" Mom asked."Aren't you supposed to be on a mission?" Dad asked and I nodded my head."Yes, I am. We already went," I answered."But how fast?" Mark asked."When we got there, the hostages were nowhere to be seen," I said."Are you sure that you were given the right location?" Abigail asked."Yes, there were signs of hostages in the basement," I said."Then who informed them that you were going to rescue them?" Mom asked, seeming to be thinking. I knew for a fact that they think that we have a mole in our family."Adrianna is working for Elijah," I said after a few minutes of silence."What!" Abigail and Mark shouted."Son, are you sure about that?" Dad asked."I met her there. We know that w

Ace POV.I walked back to the dining room and started eating. I was aware that they were all looking at me but at this time, I did not care at all."Has she agreed to eat?" Mom asked."No, the food is scattered on the cell's floor," I answered cause I knew there was no way, I was going to escape mom's questions."I really can't blame her though. With your arrogance," Abigail said."I don't care what you think or not. She is an enemy so I will treat her as one," I told them and they looked shocked.Mom had high expectations that I will end up with Adrianna after what she witnessed on the charity ball but a real disappointment doesn't hurt right?Looking at the food with zero interest in not eating since I have lost my appetite, I played with the food. Mixing food pretending to eat it but who could I fool? Everyone here is a grown up and can see through me. Yes, I was hurt. Having high expectations of something or someone always makes one easily get hurt. From the corner of the eye, I s
