(Continued....Prologue Part 4)

And that was when Adrian snapped. As fluidly as he could without hurting her, he switched their positions with one swift move. He had both years of training and experience over her to overpower her within seconds.

Now Adrian was on top of Lielah, straddling her with one hand capturing both of hers and other holding her mouth while he brought her face close to his.

"Now you listen to me, Princess; this is why You won't be accompanying me to any Kill, much less your father's murders" He saw her struggling beneath him but he only continued further before he was interrupted.

"The only people you had killed or tortured till now were the one's that your daddy made a target practice out of" Lielah growled at that and shoot him a glare, answering his questions for him

"That's what i thought"

In a move he couldn't have precedented, Lielah freed one of her legs and brought it to his groin. If his reflex wasn't as good as they were, he surly would have been hurt real Bad.

Adrian narrowed his eyes as his legs stopped her's in mid motion, twisting both of her legs to the right side as she gave out a pained noise, but still didn't stopped struggling. His hold on her jaw slipped due to her earlier action, which now he brought to cup the right side of her cheek.

However lielah just kept on defiantly looking at nothing in particular and Adrian gave out a tired huff as he brought his mouth next to her ear.

"Lielah stop, please. I'm begging you"

That made Lielah stop in her struggles and took an involuntary gasp. Adrian wasn't the heir of the biggest Mafia gang in South America, even after being the third born, in his family for nothing.

He controlled men with iron fist and fear of god in their hearts, even when he was just 20 years old, twice less than the age of the average men they worked with. He didn't have mercy and never excused mistakes. Not even the smallest of them. He killed people as easily as he breathed and was a fearless leader. Both my father and his father appreciated and respected him for what he had made of himself at such young an age.

But he NEVER, EVER begged. Not for anyone or anything.

"When i got to the news that all your homes had been blasted, at the same time, do you know what that did to me? I thought i LOST you!"

Adrian was shouting by this point and Lielah couldn't find herself to take in a single breath. Her heart a rabid animal in her chest.

"All i could think of was not getting to you Alive-"

As Lielah scoffed and started to protest at how she could keep herself alive quite on her own, thank you very much; Adrian tightened his hold on her hands before completely releasing her and bringing both of his hands at her sides, trapping her within her arms.

"Please Lielah." Lielah was too shocked to even move an inch. What the heck of happening? Surely she wasn't dreaming, was she? It was more believable that way.

"I'll make sure you father is brought to justice. More than that, people who even tried to hurt you will die by my hand, i'll make Sure of It." Adrian Said with a hard look on his face.

"But you need to be out of America till then." Ahh, so that's why he was sweet taking her. He wanted to keep her out of harm way.

Well as Lielah opened her mouth to tell him where he could shove his opinions, he overspoke her.

"It was Orlando people who killed him and if nothing is done you will be next. To get back or take revenge for your father, you need to be safe princess. That what your father would have wanted too"

As much as Lielah wanted to tell him how he was bloody wrong, she knew she couldn't. That didn't she had to like it.

But....

"Orlando?" Lielah's brows scrunched as thought about how impossible that was. Sure they were her father's well known competitors at the west coast, but her father was way too powerful to be defeated by the Vipors in such a way. Unless.....Lielah intook a sharp breath at the implication of what Adrian was proposing.

Who? who would be so foolish enough to betray her father and be sure they will be left unscathed?

As if reading her mind, Adrian answered the unspoken question for her.

"It was Elizabeth"

Her Step Mother.
