"Fuck! Ashton, you are so damn good"

Nina or whatever, screamed my name out loud as I shoved my member inside her cunt. She clung to my shoulders as I pinned her against the wall. her screams echoed throughout the room. Nothing special it was just sex. She moaned like a bitch in heat when I thrust my shaft inside her.

"Ash, baby I'm about to cum"

I was also at my limit. She moaned loudly as I came with her.

I tossed her onto the mattress and went out for a smoke. I was perspiring quite a lot after the intimate session. I took out a cig from the box and smoked while I stood on the balcony.

The smoke engulfed me as it eased my nerves.

Suddenly someone hugged me from the back. I was in my boxer briefs and the other person was naked. She pressed herself against me deliberately for my attention. I continued to ignore her.

"Ash, baby how was it? Was I good enough? "

She asked coquettishly.

" Good"

I replied nonchalantly as the girl hugged me tight. Uncomfortable with her actions, I distanced myself from her. She was pretty annoying.

I initially warned her that it was just a one-night stand. Guess she knew who I was. Leeches don't learn unless they are taught a lesson.

"I Don't Fuck a whore twice. you can leave and here, take this card. Don't let me see you again on my premise."

I casually threw The card towards her and asked her to leave. She frowned at me and left with her garments.

I left the Trinity Club where I stayed after having my fill. That place wasn't a club it was a brothel house and a hideout for the notorious criminals.

A normal person can't set foot inside the club as it was accessible only to certain people unless they are a girl who's looking for a Fuck. Girls are the downfall of horny men.

It was already midnight. Yeah, it's midnight but not the time to sleep.

The "Beuca" or the midnight meeting took place every third Thursday of the month. The members of the while cosa nostra gather at that event.

Though conflicts exist between the five families, no bellicose would occur during Beuca. But every member present would observe you like a hawk. One wrong move. Game Over.

I called James, my close pal to join me on the way. James was the Son of Lawrence Virchow the CEO of Virchow Enterprises. Virchow Enterprises had the most share after Ernest Enterprises in the Corelleinds.

In fact, Correleinds was not a normal corporate.  We worked with the mafia and carried out illegal jobs behind the curtains.

James arrived at the venue after five minutes. He brought a date along with him.  Bringing a girl along with you during a Beuca signifies your loyalty to your partner and strength. My date today was arranged by Larson.

I don't know her name or anything. It's just a date.

I was waiting for Larson to arrive at the venue, the  Sapphire Hill Hotel.

A few minutes later Larson arrived with the girl. She walked behind him without faltering a step she took. her heels made a clacking sound as she walked elegantly. She came out from the silhouettes of the trees and stood in front of me. She wore a black masquerade mask that covered her face. her black satin dress fluttered in the slow breeze as she smiled.

Suddenly Larson spoke.

"Boss, this is Claire Williams. She will be your date for tonight. And take these masks. They changed the theme. Now it's a masquerade Ball. "

I snapped out of my trance as he spoke. I took the mask from Larson and wore it.

"Hey Ash Your date arrived? Let's go Melanie is waiting for me, "

James spoke. He was also wearing the black masquerade mask but his mask didn't have any rhinestone embellishments like Clair's. I offered her my arms with a small smile. She returned the smile with a similar one. She gave off deadly but beautiful auro.

The beautifully crafted satin dress hugged her body, enhancing her already stunning curves.

She held my arms as her warmth seeped through the fabric. We walked in unison while our feats and rhythm matched.

The loud chattering of the crowd abruptly hushed as we set foot inside the Sapphire Hill Hotel. I glanced at Claire. Usually, girls would be scared to be in front of such a massive crowd. Moreover, It wasn't a normal crowd. Surprisingly Claire's bright smile remained the same. I didn't see a single silhouette of fear in her honey-drop eyes.

We walked towards the centre of the ballroom. The uneasiness of the crowd slowly disappeared. We marched towards the current don, my maternal grandfather Allesandro Moretti. Unlike me, he was a person who only had one woman in his life. The life I was living was against our family rules. He wasn't a grandfather to me he was just a monster. Because of him, I lost my mother.

We greeted him while Claire remained silent.he glanced at Claire and Suddenly started speaking Italian.

"Hai scoperto cosa stavano progettando i Russo?

Qualunque cosa accada, non lasciare che offuschino il nome dei Moretti. Le armi saranno presto trasportate. Chiederò a Lorenzo di darti le informazioni"

He spoke in his hoarse voice as I listened. Claire stood in nonchalance.

I handed her a glass of champagne. Suddenly a Butler spilled the glasses of champagne he was serving. Claire.

My mood faltered as the butlers did the unthinkable which was touching my partner. He tried to help her clean but that didn't stop me from pushing him away and standing in front of Claire. Claire spoke suddenly.

"Ashton, it's fine. I'll just use the washroom."

I nodded at her statement to which she shot me another beautiful smile. I stared at them back while she walked away. Suddenly someone held my arms. Unlike Claire, the person's touch didn't have any warmth. A strong scent of perfume washed over my face as I turned. Though she was wearing a mask I knew who it was. Vivian Adam. My fiancé. A nuisance that won't leave me. Her dirty blonde hair and big filled lips made her look like clownfish. She wasn't an innocent flower. Daughter of the notorious criminal and the fourth-largest shareholder of the Coralleinds Thomas Adam.

As a part of a business contract, Vivian became my fiancé. She pestered me endlessly without any shame. But behind her dumb blonde appearance, she was scheming.

"Ashton, baby why didn't you call me? I was willing to be your partner tonight"

"Vivz you know that I won't call you. you better try to catch some other fish cause you can't handle this one "

She opened her mouth to speak but suddenly there was a sound of a gunshot outside. All the crowd turned their heads in fright toward the direction of the exit. I left Vivian alone and ran for the exit. The washroom was near the exit and Claire was there.

I opened the washroom door and she was nowhere to be found.

I heard another gunshot from the exit along with another familiar voice. The reverberating sound of the gunfire filled the surroundings.

I went outside and saw a horrible scene. James was on the ground, shot while his girlfriend cried in panic.

James got shot twice. He was on the ground bleeding from his stomach. I searched for the assailant but that person was nowhere to be found.

Suddenly the guards on the other side alerted that the assailant had escaped. Without wasting another minute I took my gun and ran to the entry gate.

"bam, bam" Several gunshots were fired at the assailant as he tried to escape but he was extremely swift with his moves. A van with immense speed followed that person while running behind. Outside the gate, the assailant gave me a final glance. Because of the darkness, I couldn't see his appearance clearly but now in the dimly lit street light, I saw him. It wasn't a "him" but a "her". Her jet-black hair and her black satin dress fluttered as she swiftly got inside the van. They hastily left only leaving behind the black masquerade mask.
