Adrianna pov.

I have been working in a club not because I love it here but because this is the only way I am going to survive here in L.A. The city is so expensive that I have two jobs to be able to pay for my rent and my needs. The job is easy but the people here really make it hard for me.

"Adria, the boss wants to see you in his office," Essie, my best friend said.

"What! What have I done this time?" I asked out of fear since there have been rumours that the boss is a part of the mafia.

"I do not know. But you know that he will always have your back no matter what," she said.

Truth!!

Honestly I don't know why he always supports me in everything. He makes people think that I have slept with him while I haven't.

I nodded my head towards her direction before walking away. Let us see what this guy wants.

I walked upstairs and then knocked at his door when I arrived outside the office.

"Come in," he shouted from the other side.

I opened the door slowly then walked in.

"Ooh, Adrianna my dear. You came?" He asked.

"Yes, sir. You sent it to me. Do you want me to do anything for you?"

"Aaah, yes. You are so beautiful and it seems I cannot get you out of my mind.I want to fuck you endlessly. I promise you that the pay will be good," he said as he stood up and walked in front of me.

What! Who does he think I am? A whore or?

I shook my head at him. " I am sorry sir but there are so many whores out there in the club. You can go and get yourself one cause I am not,"

"How dare you defy me," he said and slapped me, making me fall to the ground.

"I am your boss therefore you will have to listen and do whatever I tell you," he said.

"Over my dead body bastard," I said as I got up.

He wanted to punch me in the stomach but I dodged it and gave him a smirk when he realised that he had missed.

"Oops. Sorry, your loss," I said and it seemed to anger him because he ran towards me trying to lunge at me but I 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 spatted at me.

"No. You are the one who is going to regret slapping me. Didn't your mother teach you never to lay a hand on a woman?" I asked him.

I knew that it was angering him but at this point I did not care about losing my job or what would happen to me if his mafia comes after me. But who cares? He is not the head of a mafia or something.

He timed when I was not concentrating about him and he punched me on the stomach

"You bastard!" I snarred before punching him repeatedly.

"Never

ever

Beat

a woman

you may never know who she is or where she comes from," I told him as I punched him.

I do not know how long I have been punching him. I felt someone's hands removing me from me.

"Let go of me, bastard. I want to kill him," I shouted.

"Stop. He will be killed nonetheless but not by you," a deep voice said. It was not the same person who was getting me away.

The voice came from the corner. I fled and turned towards the direction of the voice.

Ace Vincenzo!!

What is the Italian mafia leader doing here?

"I guess then you know me by your face expression?" He said.

"What is the great, almighty, Ace Vincenzo doing here?" I asked.

"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," he 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,"I said with a grin.

"How..?" The guy who had held me asked.

They both looked shocked by the way.

"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," I said and they looked at me as if I had seen a ghost.

"You know that since you know who I am I cannot let you go, right?" he asked but I just shrugged around his question.

"You know what Vincenzo, I am not that good at following orders," immediately I said that, I threw my dagger towards each of them then jumped through the window.
Luckily for me, I had texted Ivy and informed her to wait for me at the back because I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.

"Drive off quickly," I told her as soon as I climbed on her motorcycle.

"There she is," someone shouted.

"Come on Ivy, do you want us to be caught," I whispered- yelled.

She drove off immediately.

"What the hell happened there Adria?" She asked.

"I may or may not have recognized and called the Italian mafia boss by his name," I said slowly so I could catch my breath.

"The fuck! What have you gotten yourself into Adria?" She asked worriedly.

"Nothing I cannot take care of," I told her even though I knew that I was playing a dangerous game with the most dangerous man in the underground and in business.

She rode fast but unluckily for us, his men were still following us.

"What if we go through the tunnel?" I suggested.
