Sofia, an agent sent Uncover on a mission to inquire about evidence and schemes of an operation in a company allegedly said to be run by a Mafia Boss and his black market dealings. After falling in love with the cold, heartless Alexander Royce. Will she go through with her mission or leave it for love?

Chapter 1 The Mission

CHAPTER ONE

Driving with curious gazes at the scenes that passed by, a phone call breaks the silence.

"You disappeared on me. We had an appointment".

She replies unfazed "Work calls''.

Dr Amy sighed with a tone of concern, "Sophia, it is usual to be traumatized by what happened''; Death is a normal occurrence''.

Sophia with certainty in her voice, "I didn't know her, it's not a bother at all".

She was like me, nice, cold and empty with no one except a sad house plant which is better than what I have.

She died alone and peacefully.

Dr Amy feels remorseful, "Sophia, stay focused, no big moves or changes and free your mind''.

Sophia on the other end of the call feeling unusually calm about the whole burial crusade that has just been finalized.

Dr. Amy has no further comments, "Let's check in tomorrow''.

Sophia, "Yeah''.

Arriving at her agency, she walks in boldly leaving her audience in awe of her successful mission.

Sofia takes a breath and walks into the office, "It's been a while Chief''.

Without moving her gaze, she comments. "The agency has been dealing with three major issues this morning. Robbery and hostages at The YK Bank, Rising prison breakout at the National Prison Lockout and of course the Underworld dealings of drug exploitation and slave trade. And now I can't even get a good coffee''.

And yet, you lost control of the mission, the target dead, and then you had to eliminate four men. What a special day isn't' it'.

Sophia unfazed, "I like what you are doing with the office though''.

Chief with a curious grin fixed on her face, "Are you developing a sense of humour''.

Sophia waited patiently for another assigned job to take place, she needed something to get her mind busy.

Chief reserving all comments to give Sophia knowing she won't yield to any of them. "Alexander Royce, the young billionaire and mafia boss, has been a slippery one to catch, he deals with more drugs than the pharmaceutical world. I want him to face the law as soon as possible''.

Sofia's eyes fixed on the lines of the pages of the new case with more interest than normal. "Is he related to the drugs and cocaine that's now rampant in New York?''.

Chief's eyes, keened on the case subject cause it had been her lack of sleep for a while now. "Yes, and that's why I need you on this case as fast as possible, you will go undercover as an intern in his company and gain access to him, I want evidence to pin him down''.

Sofia without a hint of doubt replies, "Yes ma'am, as always dead with evidence. Bodies don't talk back''.

Chief, with a vein popping at the back of her neck due to her past frustrations. "Bring him alive and no screw-ups this time, follow protocols or I will assign you a permanent partner for this case''.

Sophia replies, "Sure Captain, Stay rested''.

Leaving the office with yet another troubled file on her hands, she will take this case as a breeze in a vacation that she needs.

With several thoughts pilling in her head, she tries to unravel the case of Alexander Royce, the young billionaire who yields power in different areas due to unrivalled personality and ruthless aura that seems to be unmatched by business tycoons and even the underworld associates.

Another sudden call brings her back to reality, "Yes, who's speaking?''.

"It's your Vet, you have to come down for your dog, it's a bit complicated actually''.

Sophia sighs, the only other thing she cared about in this life is her friend for life, who has now fallen ill due to lack of care.

She blames herself, she has been out for weeks on a mission without leaving her dog in safe care.

"I will be on my way''.

Pacing into the hospital, anxious to finally meet with her dog and its vet, she rushes up to meet the elevator and collides with an owner and his cat.

Finally, meeting up with the doctor in charge, "How is Roxy doing now?'' she asks patting the dog softly while checking its eyes.

"She is better right now, but she has to be taken care of properly, leaving her without any care can be dangerous to her well-being.

If there's no one, the hospital takes this type of service, till you are around to fend for her.''

Sophia stares at Roxy with a questioning look on her face as if she is asking the dog for a reply to what the doctor just said, "There will be no need for that, she will cope with me as always. We got each other."

The Vet had no other words, "Okay, that will be all for now, you can take her home".

Sophia drives back home, seated at her side her able ally, Roxy, tongue loose out in the air and ears flying in different directions without a thought of what will happen tomorrow.

Sophia takes a peek at her dog and turns back to the sightings outside her window, but her gaze suddenly falls back to the case file she had collected from the Chief.

The thoughts of her new mission as an intern and the target being Alexander, the ruthless tycoon unlocked a slight fear in her she wasn't used to for a long time.

With hopes that it was only a feeling, she drives back home.

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
