"Non avresti dovuto ucciderlo, stava per sputare fuori dove si trovasse Jose, (You shouldn't have killed him, he was about to spit out Jose's whereabouts)," Nikola lashed out at me while rolling in circles, my eyes were stoned at him with fury, I tried my best not to punch him in the face, he never spared a chance to test my patience, his presence always disturbed me, although he came next after me in sibling line but I never thought of allocating him my position once I die. I planned to pass down my legacy to our third heir; Massimo.

I rolled my eyes over him and concentrated on the document displayed on my laptop. I had other important things to attend to than bearing tantrums of a well-grown 31-year-old man. If I had followed his thinking pattern, I would have lost half of my control over the business that I have today and also, in future, I'll make sure to keep ignoring him, just I hope he would never take me to the point where I have to put seven bullets in his chest.

He was my brother and that was the only thing that stopped me from killing him. I can't normalise killings of family members, I was leading the whole syndicate and my one mistake would destroy the whole establishment I made with my blood and sweat.

"Almeno, gli avresti lasciato dire una parola! (At least, you would've let him speak a word!)," Nikola slammed his hand on the desk, painting red in fury while I controlled my inner beast not to lash out at him for his behaviour.

"Ti avverto l'ultima volta, lascia il mio ufficio, libera la mente e poi vieni a parlarmi come un uomo, (I'm warning you last time, leave my office, clear your mind then come and talk to me like a man)," I ordered him, my eyes emitting a glint of my anger that I seemed to be controlling from the moment my mind got distracted by a blue-eyed girl. I shouldn't be thinking about her, in fact, I never let a woman dominate my mind, that was the last thing I had been having on my mind since the day grandfather handed over the leading seat.

Nikola scoffed mockingly, his eyes told me if I weren't his brother, he would have killed me right now just the way I wanted to kill him, only this brotherhood bond was the thing stopping us from turning against each other "Come un uomo... (Like a man...)" he laughed, his head back in the air for a second and he again looked at me, "Intendi come un uomo come te? (You mean like a man like you?)," He questioned, his face reaching close to my personal space. "Non sai come scopare una donna e qui mi dici di fare l'uomo, (You don't know how to fuck a woman and here you tell me to man up)," He spat out, grinding his teeth. I fisted my hand, still calming down my awakened beast. We both were face to face and I knew five more minutes with him in the same room and I would be beating the shit out of him.

"Domenico, tiragli fuori il culo, non lo voglio qui, (Domenico, take his ass out, I don't want him here)," I commanded my cousin who was also my left hand. Domenico stepped ahead from his corner and grabbed Nikola's elbow which Nikola got rid of by wiggling out.

"Fratello, per favore, hai bisogno di aria fresca, vieni con me, (Brother, please, you need some fresh air, come with me)," Domenico said, grabbing his arm again and taking him out of my home office while he kept glaring at me but I turned my gaze towards the file I was studying.

I undid my sleeves buttons and rolled up the sleeves, I rested my elbow on the desk while making some points about the document in my mind. I tried my best not to think of the girl I interacted with in the restaurant. I couldn't understand what kept me interested in her, we never met each other, I had no idea about her nature, interests, her likes and dislikes yet I was still lusting over her. Lust? I never had time nor spark to lust over anyone, why now?

"Bro," Massimo called me and I just spared him a glance, not uttering anything. "I know you're not in the mood to answer this but why did you kill Jose? You never did such a thing before, he was the man who could take us to the drug-dealing gang. Now, we have nothing to rely on, that gang will keep on stealing our goods under our nose and we won't be able to catch them," Massimo spoke and the only thing that I could smell from his statement was defeat. He sounded too chicken to be called a Bernardi.

I knew Massimo. He may sound meek in front of me but he wasn't. He had the same thirst for blood as I do. He just never admitted that in front of anyone, while I proclaimed it blatantly. I never felt hesitant clearing my intentions to my syndicate. I had always been an honest and brutal man. Yes, I had no space for lies in my life—that I ever lied and also, I would never let anyone do it in my group. If I wanted anything I would get it—either the next person liked it or not.

From his statement, all I could squeeze was an apprehension of being defeated by the enemies. Well, of course, Massimo had a lot to learn from me and I would be available for him whenever he needed me in life but once, I would die, I want him to be strong enough to handle the generational empire and teach my kids the method I taught him if somehow, I won't remain in this world because my life was always at stake.

"One thing, never think your enemy is going to escape you under your nose. Second, you can never rely on one source, there are many other shreds of evidence that can take us to the rivals, it's not always the end on one clue unless you don't have a bright vision and you can't foresight a way out," I said while typing a mail to the finances department of my legal company. I needed names to hunt down the girl I saw today, her friend told me she was hired in my company which meant I could trace her easily. I asked HR to send me the list of names of our newly hired interns.

"You can indeed foresight better than me and Nikola," Massimo murmured. "I'm glad I have you, brother, you're the backbone of Bernardis," he added, smirking in pride.

"You need to work on this part in order to get a higher position from me, I have many plans for you, Massimo," I answered back, turning my whole attention to him. He dragged a glass near him on the desk and poured drink in it and sipped it in one go. I observed him, he looked bothered—pressurised, there was a slight sense of cowing. Maybe he wanted to share something with me; he was afraid to do so.

I took my cigar in hand and rested my back on the seat while crossing one leg over another. I grabbed a lighter and lit it up. "What is it, my boy?" I finally questioned him, puffing out the smoke from my lungs while the cigar was still between my lips.

"I'm just wondering," He replied, not giving me a clue about his thoughts but I could guess it involved me, problems and trouble. And it was nagging him.

"And what is it?" I asked again, inhaling enough smoke and blowing out while concentrating upon his body language.

"You acted different today and I'm still unable to absorb that..." He titled his head to his right, "Like for real I saw you going after a girl? Maybe a teenager because she looked that young. Am I correct cuz I never expected it from you, I mean that's not your style, brother. You never liked looking at your wife but you followed a girl who you couldn't keep your eyes away from," Massimo professed and I couldn't help my small curves at the corner of my lips. I never smiled too easily, last time I smiled when my grandfather announced I was taking charge of the syndicate while he hugged me. This blue-eyed was really getting something out of me.

"Yeah, it should bother you," I mumbled, standing up from my seat and ambling towards the windows. I gripped the cigar between my index finger and thumb and puffed at least three times and doused the cigar.

"Why? What are you planning to do with that girl?" He asked, standing up from his seat, his face towards my back.

"Many things," I replied. That's when her face revolved in my mind like a magnet stuck to my memory and I turned that imagination into many forbidden things that I wished to do with her.

I always wanted to be with a woman but never been involved with any because I have a fancy to be in love with the person. I believed love is a strong and intense feeling and it can't be felt everywhere, meanwhile, lust can be quenched anywhere but I hated the whole concept of it. It was like I would let anyone use my body to give out pleasure for free while I would get nothing but a sense of defencelessness.

I craved intimacy, a sincere touch that would get me under my lover's mercy. I wanted that feeling to overpower me and provide me with the satisfaction I preferred to fantasise about and now, I think I have found one who could give me all that I desired all my life.

It had been three years since I married Sofia but I never touched her body, we don't even sleep on the same bed, in the same rooms. I never gave her any rights of my wife because I never accepted her as one. I wanted someone who I could cherish, make love to her body till she stops me. Sometimes I would like to fuck her hard and she would scream out my name till I give her my everything that I got. I wished to satisfy her all night long.

Never in the thirty-six years of my life have I ever felt the feeling that I felt when I saw my blue-eyed angel. She looked like she was made up for me, her face... those bulging lips, that innocence that called out to me, her perfectly-structured hands, those alined feet fingers that gave me an instant hard-on. Everything that I saw in her was just pulling me towards me and I ended up following her to the restroom.

I won't deny the fact that I didn't want to rush into the ladies restroom and push her against the wall and have my way with her but I stopped because I didn't want to scare her, I wanted her for a lifetime, not just for today. I had to act patiently with her but I was losing my patience so bad that I ended up ordering Domenico to issue orders for her abduction.

My hunger for her was getting out of control and only she could give me what I needed. That was why she would be drugged whenever my men would get a chance and they would take her here and I would add some sins in my account and make love to her while she would be unconscious. I wanted to see if she was a virgin or not, she had to be because I won't behave nice over it and I might end up killing every man that touched what's mine.

I was a virgin and I expected the same from her.

"Many things you mean?" Massimo asked, I turned around and passed him a smile.

"You'll see it soon," I said and walked to the coat rack and grabbed my suit-jacket to leave my office for some work that I had to pay heed to.


Next Day

In The Evening

I was attending a conference meeting with my men. The marketing analysts were giving a presentation on our annual budget and its outcome while I was focusing hard. I was busy processing the details when my eyes shifted to Domenico as he took out his phone and then looked at me. I was curious to know if some of his men under him got any good news, informing him that they have successfully abducted my lady. I gulped down a lump in my throat at this thought.

Domenico looked at me and lightly nodded his head followed by a small smile, which was a sign. A positive one. Maybe, he either got Jennifer or three men who tried to keep tabs over our ships.

Yes, I got the name a few hours ago. I gave her friend's details to my security men through the intern appointment list and asked them out to investigate her circle, they made a report and sent me, and from there I got to know Jennifer lived in southern Italy with that girl named Andrea Roman and a guy named Rory Jameson. I didn't feel good about the fact that she was sharing a house with a male. No, she shouldn't have been under one roof with a male, in fact, there shouldn't be any man living on the same street as hers.

My phone's screen blinked and I picked it up to see Domenico's message. I opened the text and it said, 'We Got Her Boss.'

I placed the phone aside and kept my face as subtle as possible because I was not fond of showing others my vulnerability.

In a few minutes, the presentation got over and everyone looked at me to assign them their job and approve the information they presented. I cleared my throat, gaining my senses back, "I need more time to think about the amount we analysed for material purposes, till then, you all can focus on billing and promotion work because we need to keep maintaining our standard high to get new clients. The clientele should be increasing two times this year, that's my main goal for now. Sawyer, you and your team presented well, send me a copy of today's presentation along with the annual files, I'd like to review them," I announced.

"For today, the meeting is dismissed," I approved and everything started to leave without saying a word.

"Domenico," I called and he stayed. The men left the room, leaving us alone. Incredible that Nikola didn't make a fuss about it and left the room calmly, it was the first time he didn't drag dad in our fights, or even he didn't argue at all.

"I'm listening, boss," He rogered.

"Where is she?" I asked.

"In your personal room, boss. She is being prepared." He informed me.

"Hmm, okay. You can leave too," I said and left the room to walk into my personal room that I would name now as my 'pleasure room' because tonight I was going to have fun and I'll keep on having it here.

I reached the room and opened the door, walking in, I heard a few feminine voices. I passed the corridor and walked to the bedside that was on my right, before stepping in there, I cleared my throat and enlightened them with my presence. Some of them hitched and immediately jogged out of the room.

The room was emptied now and I walked in to see my lady laying on my bed, her limbs tied ropes. Her legs spread for me and her creamy, flawlessly gorgeous skin in front of my gaze as she was naked before my eyes. Her pussy called out to me and I gulped looking at the tightness it held as if nobody ever touched her here—not even herself. Instantly, I was convinced she was a virgin and I couldn't describe the peace it brought within me.

I walked near the footboard of the bed and took enough time to memorise each part of her body. My hands died for touching her and I couldn't get over the fact I was going to claim her as mine. Once she is claimed, nothing on earth can undo it. She would be mine, she would be called by my name, I would give her every right she would deserve once I give her myself.

And today, I was going to do that.

I was going to hand myself to her and devour her body.
