Chapter one
“I ask again, where is the diamond you stole from my club." A wrong answer would result in the death of another member of your family, so I suggest you think before lying to me!” Alledandro bellowed.
The man on the chair, bleeding as he had endured unimaginable torture, began panicking,” Shadow, I promise you on my life, I have no idea, I swear. Our job was to steal the diamond from the club and drop it at a certain location where we would get paid. Honestly, we didn't know it was your club”!
“Wrong answer, bang, bang, thud.” The body of a woman falls lifeless after two bullets were shot at her. Next will be your little girl if you don't start talking,“ Alledandro threatened.
“Wait, they called themselves the Vipers, men fully dressed in black covering their faces, they all had the tattoo of a viper on their necks. I swear that's all I know, please don't hurt my little girl”!
“See, that wasn't so hard now, was it?”
Alledandro Ricci, the famous Shadow of the hidden underworld organization, a man who is said to be possessed by the Devil himself, light-skinned with dark raven hair, broad shoulders, and firmly packed with muscle and a masculine jawline, he could have been every woman's speck of not for his dangerous nature
“Well boys, it seems like we got ourselves a snake to kill. Let's roll out.
“Boss, how do we go about locating the Vipers? We have nothing on them currently,” Michael, the right-hand man of The Shadow, asked.
“True, we might have nothing on them currently, but it seems you forget easily who I am. In the underworld, anything can be bought, as long as you can pay the price.”
“Send words to every information center in the underworld. I want everything about these so-called vipers before the weekend and I want them fast.
“But sir, the weekend is in two days sir, how sure are…” Michael's speech was cut short by a hard glare from Alledandro, conveying the ‘are you questioning my order' warning?
“Right away sir, we will deliver the message to every information network in the underworld.”
Alledandro turned and started leaving the building with his boys following him. He was ruthless, but he was still a man of his world.
“So where are we going to sir?" Michael queried.
Walking into his car, a black Mercedes G60 he spoke not turning to look at Mike,
“We will be going to the club for now. I need to be prepared for the event tomorrow. We wouldn't want any lapses and the cops busting in on our asses now, would we?”
Closing his door, the other gang members rushed to their various transports and drove to the club.
