The matters about her mother are still unclear and among all the thoughts that are daunting me I am still unclear on why I am supposed to meet Alejandro uncle so urgently. There is an emergency meeting I planned the next day with my private investigator to discuss everything regarding this sudden murder attempt and it is obviously very important to me. I wanted to meet uncle the day after tomorrow. But my dad was clear that the meeting can wait but my visit to Alejandro cannot.

What could be the mysterious information he wanted to share with me, that Dad didn't know? My anxiety goes blanching me all the night.

It was already late in the night. I made some important phone calls pertaining my business and was working on my laptop when there was a knock at the door. I quickly got up from my bed tucking a revolver in my pant pocket and pushed the curtain beside to ensure the security guards were on an alert in case of any casuality. You never know what happens the next moment. I cautiously opened the door of my room to check upon the person standing on the other side.

My features relaxed soon after I saw her. Ana was holding a glass of milk and her eyes quickly gazed at the room landing them ultimately on me. I held her arm and pulled her inside closing the door behind her. "What were you trying to search in my room?" You wanted to know if I was hiding some minions inside like an underworld don or a mafia agent?" I tried to tease her holding up a crafty grin.

"I am much more mature than do such childish feats in front of a little girl like you." I  pull her cheeks and try to present myself a little jovial to lighten her mood.

She locked her eyes with mine and gazed at me with an unbound love and that was my last grip to go off the deep end. Circling my hand on her slim waist I brought her closer to me while simultaneously holding her sight. Her soft breasts collided with my muscular chest raising an instant lecherous sensation within me. Absorbed in a stupor my hand slowly went to her soft cheeks caressing them with my thumb. My gaze involuntarily moved from her eyes to her glossy pink lips. "I can't stand you crying doll," I whispered pouring out the warmth hitherto hidden in my eyes.

My heart was drumming into my chest and I could feel hers doing the same. We were equally attracted to each other. It is confirmed now. Resisting myself from her more was beyond my capacity.  Laying a hand on her slender waist I brought her closer to me and pulled her into an ebullient hug.

She stilled for a second but composed herself within a matter of seconds with a surreptitious smile playing on her lips. Desire was evident in her eyes. "Doll" my voice came out groggy and muffled filled with lust. "Tomorrow we are going to the hospital to see your father. Be ready at 9." She nodded and was about to move to the door but I stopped her as I couldn't get enough of her. In a swift gradating intensity by cupping one of her cheeks in my hands, I kissed the other in an uncontrollable fervour.

***

It was a welcoming feeling of Ulrick's tranquillity, a place he cherished to live forever in his life, his absolute abode - in the arms of his love.

Chapter 6

Ulrick Pov

I got up early to go to the hospital to meet Ana's father. I don't know when it started but now I almost see him like my father. Ana's brother Vance left their house two years ago when he came to know about Uncle Alijandro's involvement with Robert.

Robert is a menacing mafia leader who kills people mercilessly when they go against him or his targets are not met.  He has got a series of clubs and casinos from where he operates his mafia and converts all his black money to white. Though everyone knows what he does, there is not a single case proven against him. He either wipes the evidence before the police reaches it or kills the person holding the proof.

In the eyes of the government he is a mobster with no moles. Even the state's higher officials piss in their pants hearing his name. I still wonder why Uncle Alejandro started his business with such a dangerous man. Probably he did not know who Robert is, until his head was completely drowned in the water.

After knowing all this Vance convinced his father to stop all his business dealings with Robert. Alejandro couldn't wish to lose his son who threatened to break his ties with the family if he continues to deal with the don. As per Vance's advice, Alejandro stopped his trade with Robert but could barely keep his head above the water. The tyrant had made him suffer hell on earth. He never wanted Alejandro to leave him as the former knew many of his illegal business secrets. Since the day Robert kept blackmailing Alejandro.

His biggest fear was losing Ana. He already lost his son now he cannot lose his daughter too. Ana's involvement with the mafia is the last thing Alejandro would want from this world. His hands are already tainted and he didn't want his daughter to be a part of his sinful life. With every passing day fear consumed him more and more. Greater than physical injury it was the psychological affliction that Alejandro suffered with Robert.

Thinking about the different situations that took place in our lives, I understood entry into the mafia is in our hands but exit is no longer our call after you dig deep into it. Ana is a naive girl. She doesn't know about any of her dad's dealings with the mafia.
