~THE QUEEN DEATH~

~ CHAPTER – 1 GAME ON, b***h!! ~

I leaned back and stretched my sore back muscles when Daisy barged into my office and slumped down on the chair with an angry sigh. She was looking beyond pissed. 

I sighed.

Three. Two. one

Here we gooooo......

"Who the f**k does he think he is?!??! I-I -I am going to f*****g kill that bastard !! Why oh god, why? UGHHHH!!"

Daisy is my bestfriend and my P.A. We met 2 years back when I was looking for an assistant. We stumbled across each other in my  restaurant. Well, technically outside my restaurant. She was in serious need of money to pay off the bills and debts. We clicked off and TADA! Here we are. At first she was hesitant and cautious of everything she did, but she slowly got comfortable and confident in her own skin. Now, she is really good at her job.

"Care to explain?" I asked with an arched brow. I don't think that it's about Trevor this time. Never had he ever made her this angry. Trevor is one of my employees with whom Daisy is in an on and off relationship. He is an total ass but  since Daisy likes him I have never fired him even though I have had more than enough reasons to do so. I have never told her about mine and Trevor's encounter though because if she knew how he disrespected me, well, the result wouldn't have been pretty. Because she knows how much respects means to me. And in the end of the day she would have lost him and seeing her sad...... I just couldn't stand that. So I have been enduring that lizard's poop for Daisy.

"I should have just informed you instead of taking the matter in my own hand and talk to that hatass Sanchez!! Plus he was very hot and gave me noodle vibes. Let's call him noodle man for now! Why are all hot men asswipes??Oh god! I screwed up! Why do I always have to create problems for you? I am so sorry Sana!," she cried out and started sobbing in her seat. 

I jumped out of my massive chair and embraced her in a comforting hug, whispering sweet words in her ears, in an effort to calm her down. Instead of calming down she started sobbing louder. Seeing her like this clenched my heart. I can't exactly blame her for crying over little things and being sensitive though, It's because of her bloody past.

 But Noodle Man? 

Seriously?

But then again she won't be herself if these kind of nonsense didn't grace my ears from time to time

God save this Noodle man cause no one gets to hurt my bff like this.

I don't care about what she did or how bad she screwed up. But what I do care about is my Best Friend. 

Eventually she calmed down and was now staring at the sky through the glass wall. I offered her a glass of water which she gulped down at an inhumane speed. Seeing her like this did worried me. What could she have possibly done to make her this worried about my reaction?

she sighed and cleared her throat still not looking at me.

" I was in your bakery making sure everything was going  fine, when these three men entered and -and enquired about the owner. The way they held themselves screamed of authority. So, I was instantly on alert. I took them to my cabin and you should have seen the way they were judging our bakery. Judging me. As if I was not worth their time. I was already on edge by their behavior when that -that piece of noodle s**t opened his mouth and made it worse. I hated the way he talked down to me. I hate him!!"

  she took a large breath and continued.

"He was from Luciano corp."

That sentence made me perk up higher in my seat. My full attention was on her now. Luciano corp. is a very big company just like mine and having someone from that co. approaching my small cute little bakery is a little.....interesting. 

"What did he wanted?" I asked curiously

"I will get straight to the point'' she said with a sigh. " He wanted to buy our bakery. The CEO of Luciano Corp. to be more precise. He thought that since the bakery is very famous for the quality and taste of the goods, it will be profitable to convert it into a posh restaurant + bakery. He said something else about it as well, but I lost it the moment he uttered the buy word." she spit out angrily.

WHAT??

No way in f*****g hell am I going to sell my bakery to anyone!

I have opened this cute little bakery a year and a half back when some of my college friends asked me about what I do. I hadn't even considered the fact that while SANA ROSE was slowly building a multi- Billion company, SANA ROSSI was still living off her parents money in others eye. So I bought this cute little café and converted it to a bakery which is under my name. And by my name I mean my real self, Sana Rossi. I usually spend all of my lunch hours there, since by doing that I can get a break and yummy yummy delicacies and I even get to check up on my bakery.

Selling the bakery won't harm me in any financial way, who am I even kidding, the amount of money it put in my pocket is like a microdroplet in my big ass river. But I still couldn't do that. I have way to many memories associated with the bakery to just sell it to someone. And I am not going to sell it to anyone but my lovely Thor if he gives me a chance to lift his hammer even though I know I wouldn't be able to lift it up and then go on a date with me.

So it's final then.

I would have to fight for to save my bakery now being as discreet as possible and without raising suspicions. Because people like him, people like me, won't take no for an answer. And I know about how much extent they can go to prove a point.

"It's not it" she squeaked out. "I was so angry that I lost all my calm and started shouting at him. Well, then we fought, verbally, I insulted him...... badly...... after saying a very firm No.  And I am afraid that he will do something about it" she said and shut her eye close tightly.

Hmm

I have no doubt in my mind that he will do something about it. And it will be fun to watch what all tricks he and his boss aka The CEO has up his sleeves. 

And if they will start a game then I will return it Ten folds in my own way.

"Don't worry. I won't let him win neither will I let anyone take our bakery away from us. And what you did was completely understandable. I mean you had more than enough reasons to cuss him out. First he comes into our bakery and then criticize it and then talks down to you and then offers the deals for to buy our bakery which he just insulted in his discreet way. Man, if I was there I would have shot a bullet through his skull. So, don't you worry about that donkey's piss, anymore. I will take care of it." I negotiated with her to clam her down which worked. 

Thank God!

My bakery is not bad by any means. Plus I wanted it to be small and cute. Because if I had wanted it to be posh and expensive, it would have been one of the best bakeries in the world. So, the thought of someone criticizing my bakery because of it's.......I don't know what that guy saw to criticize it, but it's really amusing.

But him talking down to Daisy?

Now that's what angers me the most and I will personally see that this matter is taken care of.

Now, what that leaves me is 'Protect my bakery' matter. 

I am no fool to not understand what that Mr. Luciano is playing here. Although Daisy might not have paid attention to the rest of the conversation, I got the whiff of what he was implying. They wanted to reconstruct it and turn it into a big ass restaurant and still offer all the services my bakery was offering , since the bakery was famous for it, while still keeping the name I gave to the bakery.

Customers will be attracted to it more, many won't even know it has been sold off, and come to try it out after it's reconstructed. Plus the fact that my bakery is at the center and attracts many many tourist. Let's just say Mr. Luciano chose well. Really well.

And I won't be me if I let the bakery got sold.

So, the Game is On b***h.

~~~~~~~~

It was night time and I had finally finished signing the contracts and going through agreements to find loopholes to somehow bend it to my liking, when my phone vibrated on the table showing Adrian's name on it.

I quickly picked the call up and held it to my ears.

"Did you find it?" I asked with my business voice.

"Yup. Age 27. He is from a rich family in Italy. Owns a family business as you know. Graduated from SDA Bocconi school. Attended university in USA. Harvard University. His full name is Antonio Liam Luciano. Father's name Enzo Luciano and mother's name is Bella Luciano. You owe me for this, you know that? Let's move ahead for now. Twin sister Alexia Luciano and a younger sister Vannesa Luciano. Five years old and very darn cute. Best friend and Kind of P.A. Sanchez Ricci. Had five girlfriend in his late teenage and early twenties. Stopped dating after his last girlfriend but still goes for occasional flings in his club. Owns many hotels and restaurants along with some strip clubs and some normal but very expensive club across the world. I have sent you the address of some of them along with his apartment and mansions. Voted as the hottest and the most successful bachelor in the world for succession since last three years. Climbed up the successful ladder of the corporate world very fast since he took over the business after his father. There is more so I have sent you the detailed file of it. "

Hmm. 

All the while he was speaking his voice came of as he is on edge. As if there is more to the story, something Bad and concerning.

"I have reasons to believe that he is also involved with a mafia group which could be a potential threat to us. I don't know it yet but I think he is very close to the New York mafia. We are looking for someone who can grow close to him or maybe attend his club a couple of times to see if they can gather some information," he continued. "But the most important question is why did you wanted information on him? You are not planning something, right? I do not want you to get involved with him more than any business partnership" he warned, his voice grew thick with worry by the end.

So, he is somewhat related to the mafia. If he is, then this is going to be more dangerous than I thought, I have  to be more cautious because one wrong step can turn this into a bloody war.

"Jeez! Calm your horses down! I am not going to do something illegal with this information nether am I planning something. It is totally business related, Ad." I replied

Then I explained him the situation I am in and why I need this information. I didn't tell him what I was planning though. 

"Don't do something insane, Sana. You know it bloody well how bad it could turn out to be. And try not to turn it into something personal. And do not hesitate to call us even in the middle of night if you need help and I mean it. Just don't try to be a Spiderman, please"

"Alright Alright!! I won't do something. I wanted to ask you though why are you searching for someone else to gather information from his club? What about your guys or maybe strippers from your clubs?" I asked intrigued, propping my elbows at the table.

"That's what the problem is. I can't send someone from mafia less they will recognize us and all hell will break loose. Basically we want someone discreet. We can't just ask anyone without giving information about us. We need someone who knows all about us and them and can gather information without risking exposure." He explained

"What about me? I mean I can gather information on him. I know everything about mafia and play a very important role in the underworld. But still no one knows me. Plus, it will help me with my case as well" I reasoned with him

Even if he does not agree with this, I am still doing it. It will give me an upperhand at this situation.

"Important role my ass! They call you 'queen death' because of your killing skills. People fear you because of how much trained of an assassin you are and how much ruthless you can be. Not because of your 'Non existent  important role'  in underworld, dumbass!" he sassed. "And about what you said I think it is brilliant Idea. So, if you find something, do tell me and be safe. Call me if you need something." he said and before I could say something, hanged up on me.

I sighed 

Even though I haven't met this guy yet, I just know this is going to be long and tiring.

~~~~~~~

 After reaching my apartment, I took a long shower and ate the food which was kept on the dining table after heating it, which Maria, my cook kept there after preparing and went home.

She is a lovely women with a warm smile who could wash your stress away with a lovely head massage and super amazing food. She is the only women other than my family who knows about my secret. She is in her late thirties and three month pregnant right now.

I have told her so many times already to take a long paid break until all the pregnancy stuffs are done. Till then I can hire someone else, even though I would be seriously compromising with the taste and quality of food. But that doesn't matter. What matters the most is her health, but she doesn't listen to anybody. I will make sure that she takes that break when she hits her fourth month, unlike last time and put stress on her body.

I quickly made my way to my study and completed a little more work. I think that I am turning into a workaholic, but I don't mind though. I love my work.

After few hours I grew tired but before I go to bed I need to do something important.

I quickly opened the file Adrian has sent me and started reading through it. 

The first thing I noticed was his rugged appearance, with his hair styled back with jel, a muscular body with a lean waist and a jaw line that could kill.

Fuck, he is hot. Hot doesn't even come close to  it, though. With his manly body to his muscular torso and a swimmer like figure, he is just looking so edible and authoritative, it is such a f*****g turn on. His whole body and snake like eyes are screaming of delicious promises.

Promises I can't experience.

There were many pictures of him wearing fancy expensive suits with always a different girl on his arm.

Womanizer, I see

He always wore a stone cold rigid expression on his face leaking no warmth through it, looking rather intimidating. Just like my brothers.

He would totally qualify for a mafia person.

We just need to wait and watch as I execute my plan.

I am going to be making a move first, though he would not know who was behind this or what my main aim actually was, he would be distracted enough. It will work as a great distraction. And then I will do something he won't even realize is done, until it's too late, right under his nose. It will help me be aware of his plans beforehand and help me diffuse it before the damage is done.

After quickly glancing at the file one last time, I closed my laptop and made my way to my bedroom, to sleep after a long tiring day.

He would never win

And I will make sure it happens.
