Ric Pov
I tried to put all my energy into work, into finding out who killed Benito but all I thought of was this beautiful woman I had slept with a few days ago. She was stunning. Her true appearance left me breathless. Her long brown-black hair. Her long legs and that killer body of hers. The way she walked, the color of her eyes, and the way she smiled were all embedded in my mind. I knew I needed to see her again. I knew I needed to ravish her and make her mine.
"Riccardo," I heard my father call. He had come all the way from Italy for Benito's funeral. He had overstayed his welcome too. I didn't like him in my business. The minute he put me in charge of my family I knew I had to protect it and be ruthless as he had been. I had it in me but did I want to be tied down to the family, of course not. I wanted to run things my way and have all these other families bow down to us but my father always said we needed them. "It was important to have allies," he would say.
"Any new leads?" My father asked me. "Luca has been on it for weeks and still nothing." Luca was my right-hand man. My capo Bastone, my second in command.
"We are working on it,"
"He was FAMILY," my father raised his voice at me but I gave him a look that made me think twice about doing it again. "I'm sorry but we need answers. Our family's reputation and safety is on the line."
"I know, NOW GET OUT!," I went over to my desk and looked at the info I got on my new friend. "I will find you again Ace."

"Little flower," Jax called me. "We going out tonight?"
"Sure," I had been bored the last few nights. I continued to ignore the request coming in to kill Riccardo Moretti and made sure no one else was placed on that bounty. I had been so focused on him I didn't really do much. I need a release, a good time. I got dressed in a little red dress and headed out to a night club with Jax.

The music was loud and I was ready to dance. Jax was heading to the bar but I pulled him onto the dance floor. He, of course, didn't complain. I started to grind my hips on his and sway to the music. I felt his stare. I looked around. I knew he was here. His dark eyes were looking at me, reprimanding me, and judging me. I smiled and flipped my hair. Jax's grip got tighter on my waist. I moved even more sensual and sexy. I had an audience now. Riccardo went to got sit down at an open booth. He wanted to keep watching me but he also wanted me to watch him. I noticed a blonde slide next to him. Her hands immediately went on his chest. She looked loud and annoying. She was giggling so much. I wanted to roll my eyes but I didn't want to show him I was bothered.
"What you looking at doll," Jax asked. I turned around and turned Jax's face so he could face me. I got inches away from his lips. We were still dancing. I wanted Ric to feel every moment I was making. If we were going to compare dates. He had more reason to be jealous than me.
"I don't know who the show is for but can we do it some more," Jax joked. Well, he really wasn't joking.
I noticed five large men coming towards Ric's booth. They pushed everyone in their way to the ground. My eyes followed them until they were standing feet away from Riccardo. They were exchanging words and then I saw Riccardo laugh. One of the men pulled out a gun and by instinct, I threw the knife I had strapped on my thigh at his neck. The men looked around to see who threw it but no one looked suspicious enough but they still wanted to warn the crowd so another man fired a shot in the air. The music cut off instantly. Riccardo looked up at me and then quickly went back to look at the two men still standing.
"Jax get out of here," I said.
"And you?"
"I got this,"
"What are you going to do?"
"I might just finish the job after all," I told him.
"Good luck," Jax ran out of there and I had to stare at him until he left because I knew he wanted to stay for the action but Jax was loyal enough to listen to me and do as I said.
"YOU HAVE MORE MEN IN HERE," the large man said.
"No!" Ric responded.
"f*****g LIAR," Ric looked over at me and smirked.
"Not lying but go ahead do your worst," Ric said to him. He took out his gun but Luca had already done the same.
"Shoot," Ric said to the man. Lord, was he stupid. I only had 1 knife with me but luckily I also had my wit and other training. I ran up to the group.
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE," I pretend to say on the verge of tears. The two men looked back at me and admired my good looks and tight dress.
"Well, if your a good girl we won't kill you but you have to be very good," I looked over at Ric and noticed his frustration.
"How much would you charge to kill them," the two men didn't understand who Ric was talking to but then I looked at both of them and said, "I'll do it for free." I pulled my knife out of the neck of the man on the ground and quickly brought it to the one standing on my right and in the same moment turned and kicked the other one. He grunted and dropped his gun. I picked it up and without hesitation shot him in the head.
"You didn't have to do all of this to get my attention," I smiled at Ric. "But I like it."
