ADRIEN MORGAN

I drove back to the capital in silence,only Julian's little snores to be heard in intervals. He was peacefully sleeping in the passenger seat, which I had adjusted until I was sure he was comfortable.

He had a terrible day because of that wench,I'm going to make sure to send her a warning. Julian may be okay with her heinous behaviour, but lucky for her, I'm not Julian.

I reached for my phone from my pocket and dialled Ishmael. He picked up right away.

"Yes, boss." He spoke into the phone.

"I need you to find someone for me. Issandra Mercela Alfonso,I want to have a word with her." I requested.

"I'll get her for you right away, boss." Ishmael's reply was followed by the sound of keyboard tapping. In less than five minutes,I heard a beep from Ishmael's side before his sigh.

"Found her,boss."

"Send some of your boys to go get her right away. Take her to the steel and tubes warehouse. That's where I'll find her. I want her before dawn breaks." I gave my orders loud and clear,careful not to wake my sleeping beauty up.

"Okay, boss. I have sent your order to team A. She will be at the location as ordered. I wonder what she did,though."

"She messed with what's mine,I'm going to give her a warning out of mercy because Jules doesn't want to do anything about her."

"I really pity her,she should have known better not to mess with Julian."

"I won't be so tough on her,I'll just make sure that she leaves with trauma. It will be the first and last warning, and if she doesn't obey, I'll break her entirely."

"Boss,Team A has reported that she's with a man who seems to be her lover. Should we bring him in as well?"

"No. I want nobody else,just her."

"Okay, boss."

I hung up and returned my attention to driving after making sure that they had captured her.

It was getting closer to Two in the morning when I parked in Julian's parking lot. I got out of the car and gently lifted him up to the elevator. He only mumbled a few incoherent words and went back to his slumber.

When the elevator stopped at his floor,I stepped out with him still in my arms, only to wake him up so that he could stand while I punched in his passcode.

We entered, and I made sure to lock the door behind me before following Julian upstairs to his room.

"Thank you, Adrien." He said while walking into bed with his outdoor clothes.

It would pass as cute if it didn't irritate me. I know he also doesn't like wearing outdoor attires inside the house,worse to sleep.

I grabbed him by the waist before he landed into the sheets.

"You should shower and change first, then you can get more sleep." I advised, but it fell onto deaf ears.

"No. I don't wanna. Let me sleep." He whined,shaking his head.

Julian's voice cracked as he kept on repeating his pleas like a broken record. That's when I knew that he was about to bring out the big guns,his tears.

"Hey, don't cry, baby. Shh." I tried to appease him but failed miserably.

"Okay,how about we change into comfy pyjamas?" Anything he wants he gets,I'll have to learn how to go break,only for him, though.

"Pyjamas only. If I shower, I won't be able to sleep anymore."

"Alright, I will get your pyjamas for you,don't seat anywhere." He just nodded.

That was my cue to hurry and help him change.

I pulled the dirty clothes off his lean body and replaced them with a pair of satin pyjamas. Tucked him in bed,made sure he was comfortable, and kissed him goodbye.

Luck was on my side,Julian is a heavy sleeper. I will have returned by the time he woke up.

"Have a good night, my love,I'll go handle some people on your behalf." I whispered to his sleeping form and walked away to avenge him.

I must teach that low life a lesson or two. I'll make sure that by the time I'm done with her,there won't be any more spite from her to my baby.

TWO HOURS LATER....

I was welcomed by Azrael's boys,lining up along with their dogs parading outside the warehouse.

"This way, sir." Yosef, alongside Tasnim,led the way to the compartment where Issandra was being held captive.

Yosef is a middle-aged,tall,masculine black man. He is a mixture of African and Sicilian blood,but the African genes are more dominant. He has worked with Azrael for almost Nine years now,still counting, and he is responsible for each and every activity that takes place in this warehouse. Be it legal or not.

Tasnim, on the other hand, is a wild woman. She is around Thirty years old and has worked with us for twelve years,close to thirteen. Her Persian-Arabian traits are what make her a wild card. You could be fooled by her beauty, but everyone who has had a round of sparring with her knows not to undermine her. Tasnim is here to help us deal with the women,as the saying goes,set a thief to catch a thief. Women are her area of expertise,she likes women but acts less like them. Tasnim also makes sure that no woman gets sexually harassed or raped while under our radar,she's truly great like that.

We got to the room, and Yoséf opened the door,letting me in along with Tasnim, who followed right behind me.

Issandra was tied to a chair so tight that there was no way left for her to escape,even if she dared. She was blindfolded and tongue tied,so there was no way for her to spew threats and profanities.

Tasnim went around her chair and loosened the fabric around her mouth,and the first thing the bitch shouted was nonsense.

"Who are you fuckers? What do you think you are doing? Do you know who I am?" She kept going on and on while I stood at a distance,watching her and assessing what exactly I want to do to her.

I stepped out of the shadows and walked menacingly slowly towards her and when she heard my movements,she shut her dirty mouth.

"I know who you are and what you are. Your threats won't save you from your predicament so if I was in your place,if practice earnestly begging for mercy." I told her,paying attention to the way her body flinched as I let some of my pheromones sip into the air around us.

"I don't care. I'm going to call the police on you morons. I'll make-"

"Silence woman!" I found myself raising my voice,cutting off her illogical threats. "You shall not speak unless ordered to,do you understand?" By now my rage was taking over,I was even delaying my punishment.

In the midst of silence,I caught whiff of a weird scent and when I listened close,I could hear a faint sound of a heartbeat.

She must be pregnant.

That was the conclusion I came up with.

Damn! This makes it even hard for me.

"Ohooo,look who's here? The man himself." My witless brother stepped into the room,grinning mischievously like he just witnessed a phenomenon,interfering my line of thoughts.

"What brings you here at this time? Aren't you engaged?" I asked him telepathically not daring to let the humans in on our private conversation.

"You thought I could let you have all the fun to yourself brother,huh!"

"There's no fun in this,she messed with the wrong person. I wanted to give her a warning she'll live to tell tales but the whore is pregnant. You know I can't do anything to her now." I went on with my rant and Azrael only seemed to find more joy in my misery.

"I thought you left the Mafia Business to me,coming here sure is a sight." He spoke up loudly,his voice booming and echoing throughout the room. "Listen here,whatever the he'll you think you are,watch your steps. Be careful before you open your nasty mouth again or else you won't leave this place alive. You get me?" Azrael's aura had entirely darkened,beacame menacing and intimidating making the small woman flinch and nod her head rapidly.

I did not need to go into details for Azrael as I'm sure he's already aware. And for his mood to switch up that fast isn't surprising to me at least,he is protective of me as I am of him.

"Bitch should have let the sleeping dog lie, now suffer the consequences." Azrael spoke while walking away from the scene.

He left the room shortly after leaving the room to its previous composition.

"This is my first and last warning woman. Stay away from Julian Olivarez and any of his offices. If I ever hear that you were within Five feet radius of any REZ offices,I will come for you. The mercy I'm giving you today is the only I had left. If you ever,you'll have to face the tip of my wrath which I'm sure you won't live to live another day on earth." I walked around her chair,while I said my last words of warning to her. I leaned into her ears and whispered," Today you're alive because of the fetus in your womb,I swear of you dare anger me or Julian somehow,that boy boy stop me so be a better mother and heed my warning to you."

I faced Tasnim and asked her to tie her tongue again.

"Release her before dawn,make sure to cut off her ginger ponytail and burn it infront of her. Also make sure someone tails her and report to me her movements."

"Yes boss,I'll do as ordered."

With that,I turned my back to them and left. The sound of Issandra's wails escorting me on my way out,cutting off her precious ginger ponytail was going to be punishment enough since I can't bring myself to do anything more than that.

I walked to my car,where I met Azrael and he offered to drive me back home.

I let him take over the driver's seat while I sat in the passenger seat. I was quite exhausted from driving around today,so a chance to relax my shoulders was highly welcome.
