CHAPTER 1

~Claudia~

I rolled my hips down his groin and cupped his jaw between my sharp acrylics.

"Fuck baby'' he groaned and I smirked in satisfaction loving how I had control over him.

He curled his hand around my waist as I slowly grounded on him and took him to a land of unending euphoria.

"Tell me Rossi, how do you want me to please you, just say it and I'll be on my fucking knees for you" i licked on the cold metal on his earring and let my lips kiss down the tattoo on his neck.

It's a bad thing I am not into blondes cause he is a really good one and felt his bulge rising rapidly beneath me.

"Do whatever you want claudia, whatever" he angled his neck to the side and i let my teeth claim dominance

"The pleasure is all mine" I rolled my palm down and gripped his crotch watching him get loose at whatever he was feeling.

I increased my pace on his groin and when I was sure he completely out of the world I slowly locked his wrist behind.

I got up from him and puffed my cheek with a loud exhale. "That was a tough one" my statement made his eyes open and immediately i pointed the gun at him

His eyes widened in fear and shock.

"The code" I didn't waste a second, i asked him in a cold tone.

"You bitch, you deceived me" I chuckled evily and nodded my head in agreement.

"That's what the 'd' in Claudia means, so tell me, where the fuck is the key or you give me the pass code'' i pressed the cold metal to the side of his face and his nose flared up in anger.

He tried pulling away only to realize his wrists were cuffed behind him. His blue eyes shot daggers into mine but it's nothing I can't handle.

"You are dead wrong if you think I'll give it to you" he gritted out and i smirked cause the dick sure doesn't know the good plans I have in store.

"Do you know what the 'C' In Claudia means?" I trailed the gun down his head and stopped at his adam apple loving how it bobbed down at the mercy of my baby.

"It stands for cruel and I'm pretty sure the adjective is clear to you" I clasped my fingers around his neck and pulled him close to my face.

"I'll tear each and every organ of your wife's body and burn them right in front of you" I warned and he shook his head with fear clearly visible in his eyes.

"P-please leave my family out of this" a smirk tugged at the corner of my lips and I was satisfied with the fact i was able to get to him

"Then give me what I want" I whispered dangerously. I watched him fight the turmoil in his eyes on the decision he would make.

"I-i don't have it" I flared up in anger and smacked his head harshly. "I'm not here to catch a little fun Mr Rossi, so tell me or I kill your wife" I gritted out angrily.

"B-believe me don, i don't have it the Lombardi's never gave me the pass code" his voice held sincerity but I knew better than to trust him.

Javier Lombardi is one smart man, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't trust so easily, first and foremost Rossi was once an ally of the Marchessis, that's enough reason for Javier not to give him his full trust.

I pulled my phone and called Arturo, my assistant to lock him up in the cell.

The flying sound of the bullets and blood shed welcomed my feet when I stepped out.

These are every words I have lived with for eight years of my life. Fear, ruthless, cruelty and so many other evil adjectives make up Claudia Aurora Marchessi.

I was forced into this dangerous life and now i rule the italian under world with pride and pleasure.

I have just one mission and that is to avenge the death of the person I loved the most.

I'm still haunted by that horrific day and i will stop at nothing to see all of them tremble at my feet.

"She's here" my two sisters stood up from the sofa with fear as a protection to their ears. I glanced at the both of them with raised brow wondering what they are hiding from me.

"Matilda" I called in a warning voice and she snapped her head up to face but scared to look into my eyes.

"U..uhm c.. I shut my eyes and hissed out in annoyance. "Damn it Matilda, you know I fucking hate it when you speak like you got no tongue" I gritted out and they both flinched at the harshness in my voice.

"I...I'm sorry, I just wanted to ask if we celebrate our... "No" I didn't need to know whatever they wanted to celebrate, the bottom line is that it has to do with fun and people.

They still stood waiting for me to magically change my mind but they knew better than to think that way.

I ignored the disappointed look on their faces and went up to my office. There's no doubt that I love my sisters but I can't give them what they desperately want; which is my attention.

After the death of our parents, so many responsibilities were pushed into my plate and loosing one of them is not something I could handle so I had to protect them in a way I think is best for them.

Matilda is old enough to make some decisions but I won't let that not until I'm hit with an assurance of her capability in protecting herself.

"Don't you think you are being too harsh, I think it's time you loosen up a bit" the voice of Alfeiri made me turn my attention to the couch to find him and gioia.

Aside my sisters they are the second people close to family I have left. They've stuck by me from the very first day I stepped my feet into elementary school up until this very day.

"Let's not talk about it, we all know there is nothing that will make me go back to how I was" I deadpanned signalling the end of the conversation.

"Rossi didn't give me the pass code, apparently Javier didn't trust him enough to do that, so we are left with an option which is to break into the warehouse".

They looked at each other then at me.

"Are you sure about that don? It will be difficult to... "I'm aware of that gioia, we won't jump right into action we will have to make a plan, for the time being get my visa done I'll be leaving for Chicago soon"

I saw they had lots of questions but they knew better than to ask, so they left after I gave them a look of dismissal

I poured myself a glass of tequila and leaned my ass on the table with one prominent thought in my head, The only thing that has kept me awake for years planning and executing; The Lombardis

I'll make them pay for every blood shed, tears and pain they brought on us.
