I woke up in a dark room with a lamp dangling upon my head. It had many pieces of hardware that were used in factories. They were merely collecting the dust. Looks like I am kidnapped in an abandoned factory. Despite this I didn't lose my composure, after all I was quite experienced with these things because it was the 19th time I was kidnapped. It was all because of my status I was the most powerful lawyer and the 3rd richest Person in the world, despite this I was kidnapped.

.

.

.

Soon I saw a well-built man in black suit I was unable to look for his face as it was dark, and he was entering that damp room as he came towards me with a steady pace he was giving a cold and noble aura as well as threatening and murderous. He came towards me and removed the cloth out my mouth. He then came forward and spoke with his cold eye's, but I was glaring back at him.

Furthermore, he then spoke, “I want you to work for me.”

I was mesmerized by his blue eyes as cold as ice. It was giving a life which was lived in utter disparity and loneliness. He was a type of guy girls would die to be with, but I was an exception. In my life, love was gambling that I hated the most. I have watched many people destroying their own life with their own hands by falling in love with a wrong person, I always thought it's better to be without love than to be falling in love with the wrong one. As being the most powerful lawyer in the world I never lost even one case, many rich lawyers looked up to me.

I was regarded as a threatening figure in the business world. So I have watched many cases of cheating where the husband cheat on their wives and mostly, women try to cast aside their dignity to be with their husband who cheated on them and doesn't even love them back. When this thought struck my mind I pulled back myself to the reality, then I saw that man followed by his subordinates one woman and one man who were as same age as me, they were in early twenties.

I was driven to madness after hearing what that man said, “I want you to work for me”.

He repeated I thought he was joking before he said it again I was glaring back at him and only if the looks could kill he would have died a thousand deaths. Though he was a very artistic piece of a God I still could not believe my ears at what he said, I calmly said, “how dare you kidnap me? Do you know who I am? If you dare to do something to me, I will make your life as miserable as a mouse in a gutter.”

He chuckled to himself saying, “If I didn't know you how would you be kidnapped right now.”

.

His words made me speechless. I think he was an insane man who didn't know what he was getting himself into, or he was much more powerful than I thought.

I was myself the third-richest person in the world only after my brother who was the second-richest person on earth. My brother was the most famous basket ball player known internationally. He played so many matches, never to be lost once. He is the director of world most renowned sports brand 'Akumas'. When this thought came into my mind, only one name came, who was called the richest person on the earth. Soon after I spoke again, “look I know that you are 'Allucard Death' but be rational, a young CEO like you shouldn't have this temperament.”

As I was thinking how to escape, soon after he said, “Ms. Salafia, from now on you would be working for me.”

His subordinate came forward and showed me the documents. Not gonna lie, this situation looked kind of interesting.

I noticed that my hands were tied. I said with a look of disdain in my eyes, “HOW COME I WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE A GOOD LOOK IF YOU KEEP ME TIED UP?”

Situation became awkward.

That girl subordinate came forward and removed the rope which was tied on my hands.

I shrugged and found out most captivating and mind opening information…

That document consisted of many illegal activities done by the most dangerous Mafia gang, 'Black Shadow '. I looked and realized that he was the leader of the most dangerous Mafia gang in the world.

I said with a smirk, “oh my! It looks like I discovered the most dangerous secret of the billionaire 'Allucard death'?”

He was looking at me with his cold eyes he then said, “I will pay you a handsome sum of money you have to work for me, I have many cases that require your assistance.”

It's looks like he misunderstood me. I am not someone that would work for anyone for a big sum of money. I have my reputation to uphold.

Still out of curiosity, I asked him, “what is your condition for making me work for you?”

He snorted, “No one would be able to kidnap you if come under my wing.” Seriously, this was his reason, God surely knows how to make trouble for me. I thought.

I flipped the pages of the file and saw that the majority of underground businesses in Europe were operated under his name. Likewise, I glanced at them and the continued reading. It consisted of many dangerous illegal activities, but which didn't involve the lives of the innocent. I sighed then spoke with calm and indifferent tone, “Well, well, I didn't expect that the world's most powerful Mafia Lord can be a righteous person. Still, you think that I am afraid of those sons of b×itches when they kidnap me…

Well, first and second time were exception, but after these kidnapping were mainly possible because I wanted them to kidnap me.”

He merely shot a glance and a look which meant to be saying “you are seriously a crazy person”

I coughed and continued, “Well it was a kind of boring routine where I wake up go to office study cases and then come home. It was boring, as you know I take maximum 5 cases per year which are very costly. They were mainly given by government. You know, for most of the time I had nothing to do, so I wanted a little excitement…”

Those subordinate of his were also having an amusing expression, one could easily guess what was going in their minds.

I continued, “fine, even though I would be your kind of personal lawyer, you cannot restrict me from taking other cases.”

He thought for a second and said, “fine, it's not a problem for me. But remember, you shall not lose any case of mine.” his gaze was threatening.

I had an amused expression, “do you know what are you talking about? In front of you is the most powerful yet most dangerous lawyer in the world. I have a track record of never losing a case in the years of my career, yet you are questioning on my capabilities.” I was very angry with anyone questioning my capabilities yet here he is asking can I win his cases? Furthermore, I looked at him with murderous gaze.

He waved his hands and his subordinate brought a document. He handed them to me to have a look. I took a look and understood that it was the contract of me being his lawyer. I read the contract and then read the terms and conditions.

It was written that I will live at his house when a case arrives. I shot him a look of disdain then continued reading, next was during the term of contract we cannot harbour feelings toward each other. I sighed and looked towards him, “Mr. Death, are we negotiating a law contract or a marriage contract?” This sentence made the male subordinate laugh uncontrollably. Allucard Death shot him a glance, and he stopped laughing.

I continued, “Sir, are you living in a world of fairies where people fly with the help of pixie dust? How can someone like you be so narcissist? Me having feelings toward you aren't I questioning my choices?” I said with a confused expression on my face. This time it was a female subordinate who laughed uncontrollably. That male subordinate pinched her, and she shut her mouth, still I could hear them giggling.

He said, “I can't take risk.”

I sighed and signed the contract and stand up on my feet. My height was 5'10 (1.78 m), yet I was merely reaching to his shoulder. Wow, I am small, aren't I?

This is how our story began.

T.B.C

After sighing, I stood up and started to walk out of the door of this damned factory. I didn't even look back when I walked out. When I arrived outside I saw a countless number of bodyguards, standing outside the factory which was in an abandoned area. The area was surrounded by number of trees which would block the sights of people, even one cannot think that in the centre of this forest could be an abandoned factory.

After a while, I saw Allucard walking out with those two subordinates. I glanced at him and said, “Mister, mind giving me your phone?” He put his hand in his coat pocket and took out his phone. Wow, not going to lie, his coat is handmade from Italy. This brand is known in the world for its quality and material. One coat could cost up to tens of hundred thousands. After all, I know this brand because, the daughter of the owner of this brand is one of my good friends.

I took his phone and dialled my assistant number. Anastasia Hawk is my most trusted and capable assistant. When I dialled the number, I heard a cold robotic voice, “hello!” I sighed and answered, “Ana, it's me, Samara. “ Just after I finished my sentence I heard a frantic shrill,” Ma'am, where are you? Neither I was able to contact you, nor the hell I knew where you were?” Oh! My, how should I explain this to her, huff. “ Ana sent the people to-” before I continued, I asked the location from this man, God knows where on the earth he brought me. His assistant told me the address and I told Ana.

After hanging up, I gave the phone back to Allucard.

After waiting for fifteen minutes, 5 cars arrived at that abandoned factory area. In one of the main car which was a Bugatti Divo, Ana got out and ran towards me and checked my condition if I was hurt. From the rest of the cars, my bodyguards rushed out with rifles in their hands.

Before returning to the car, I looked back and glanced towards Mr. Death before saying, “I look forward to working with you.” Then I returned to my car. Ana had a very interesting expression, I chuckled and asked,  “what happened?” She stammered, “Ma'am, don't tell me this time while playing you were kidnapped by Allucard Death?”

What does she mean by playing? This damned girl hurt my feelings. Humph!

Okay I confess that I was kind of playing like this, who thought that this time I was kidnapped by the infamous emperor of business world the Allucard Death? I sighed, “Ana, what does it mean by playing?”

I was looking at her. Ana continued, “Ma'am, you yourself know that what I am saying is true. You know now this kind of thing doesn't scare me any more because knowing your character, the party which kidnapped you would suffer, not you.”

I gasped, “sei troppo. ti odio.”* I said in Italian.

Well, I am well versed in 10 foreign languages, but Italian is native, as I am Italian.

Ana humped then waved the driver to drive.

Two hours later, we reached my penthouse. I rushed upstairs to my bathroom. I opened the tap and let the water flow in the tub. My whole body was sticky from sweat and dust from that factory.

When I entered the bathtub, I recollected the events which happened today and sighed. How can God be so unfair?

After bathing, I arrived in the bedroom and started working on the case. Soon after, my phone started ringing. God-damn not again, it was my so – called father. He is a businessman, he is a loving father, but not for me because he is the reason I don't believe in love.

He had an affair behind my mom's back. When my mom knew about this, she suffered severe depression, which led to committing suicide.

My mom was the best fashion designer known in Italy. Her works were masterpiece which were acknowledged throughout the world.

But unfortunately, she was a fool. She loved a wrong man and died due to betrayal of that love. She opened a company which was a gift for her love, my father. Furthermore, she built that company into an empire with her sole hard work and sweat. But in the end it was in the hands of that my so-called father. This company cannot remain in top with leadership of that man, but before dying my mother had many drafted designs which could not let the company fall.

I picked up the phone, “Asteria, come home right now.” a stern voice rang out. This voice did not have any love for a daughter. Asteria was the name given by my mother, but I changed it so that people don't know that I am his daughter. Asteria is a Greek goddess name meaning 'Goddess of Stars '

I replied in a calm, cold voice, “Who do you think you are? I am not a free person like you and your family. Not only that, but I am in England right now, and you are calling me home like I am in an office with a distance of 15 minutes.”

That person replied, “you ungrateful daughter! how dare you talk to me like that? Your mom and I are waiting for you to come home. We want to discuss some things with you.”

I coldly sneered, “Which mom are you talking? My one and only mom is dead. The one you are talking about is a slut, bi×Ch and a WH’re who came into a relationship with an asshole like you when she knew you were married to her boss! Aren't both of you a perfect couple?”

Before he could continue, “Sure thing I will come, but beware if your family dares to pull any kind of trick on me, I will strip you ***** in front of the other people. Neither you will have a reputation to uphold nor a thing which will bring back your reputation.” I said with a murderous aura surrounding me.

I hung up as I completed my sentence.

Likewise, I wanted to go meet my maternal grandparents back home, so I will also meet my douche father.

I called Ana, “Ana, prepare the private jet. We are going back to Italy.”

“vediamo Cosa HAI”* I said with a cold smirk.

1[sei troppo. ti odio: you are too much. I hate you.]

2[vediamo cosa hai: let's see what you have got for me.]

In private jet,

I was watching John wick in the jet. We were about to reach in two hours. Ana was working on the case and finding clues about the murder.

In Italy,

I got out of the jet. Bodyguards were taking my luggage out. After walking out of the entrance, I saw my brother, Vlad. We both took our mother's surname. Her name was Hestia Salafia. Hestia is a goddess in Greek mythology. She is known for keeping home warm and peace in the family. But that peace in our house was never seen.

My brother Vlad was standing there, waiting for me. Cold aura surrounding me just now was disappeared and turned into a cheerful vibe.

I love my brother Vlad very much. He is the only one who understands me. He hates our father too. That's why he had gone out of the country to build his career. He only returns in every 3 years for meeting our grandparents. Vlad and I have a gap of four years. Even though we are far away from each other, we always call each other.

Vlad was standing there in his black shades. Not gonna lie, this dumbass brother of mine has good looks. He is in world's top 5 handsome men category. Then I saw his secretary was standing there, more like a personal assistant.

He removed his shades and looked towards me. I and Vlad both have red eyes, which are from our great great great maternal grandmother. Also, it's due to the blood circulation in pupils. Our eyes in the past had attracted a lot of attention, people always believed that we were wearing lens rather it's our natural eyes. So to avoid these kinds of commotions, we wear black coloured contact lenses.

I ran towards my brother and jumped at him. He caught me. I was crying while hugging him, which was rather rare because it's been 6 years since I cried, which was the time I met with my brother.

He said with his deep manly voice, on which girls basically die, “Will stop being a baby? It's disgusting!”

I looked at him, still not leaving, “bro, I missed you so much.” I said while sniffing.

“ Oh, is that so?” He said while smirking.

He knows I hate when he smirks like that.

“sembra che tu abbia avuto una commozione cerebrale mentre giocavi eh?”* I said disdain fully. He stared at me then replied, “Ancora meglio di te che non sai usare il cervello!”

Oh my god! How dare he say that! He must have a death wish today.

He opened his arms and dropped me on the ground.

Thump!

I hit the ground with a sound. Oh, God!! My butt, it's aching.

Ana came running towards me to help me up. As soon as I got up, I dashed towards Vlad who was walking away with his back facing me.

I ran towards him and kicked him on his butt.

BANG!

He hit the ground with his face.

Oh, God!! It looks like I am going to DIE. Because he cherishes his face very much.

Vlad got up with the help of his PA. I ran with all my might, or else today will be my last day.

Then a shout came, “ASTERIA!”.

I looked back while running to see the expression on my brother's face. He had bloody red eyes due to anger. He shouted while gritting his teeth.

“SEI MORTO!”

I said while stammering with fear, “S…sorry bro… please spare me.”

Who would have thought that this almighty lawyer would be stuttering due to fear in front of someone?

“Asteria, looks like you are too tired to continue living?” He shouted while running behind me.

“Ana help me…” I shouted while running towards Ana.

My brother stopped in front of Ana. “Anastasia Hawk… Get aside. If not, I can't guarantee that you will remain in one piece.”

Quickly she stood aside, leaving me standing in front of my brother shivering in fear.

I closed my eyes in order not to see him beating me.

Suddenly I felt my arm twisting back. I opened my eyes to see my brother twisting my left-hand back. I cried, “Ah… I am sorry, Vlad…. Please spare me!”

“Asteria, don't you dare to mess with me.” After saying this, he left my arm.

After waiting for ten minutes, we both calmed down. Then I asked, “What are doing here?”

He replied, “I came here to meet grandpa and grandma.”

“Oh… okay. Good.” I said. Looks like that father of mine didn't call him here.

Soon we both sat in the car, which was followed by six SUVs, in which there were our bodyguards.

Then he asked me, “What are you doing here?”

“That man called me here.” I replied while clenching my teeth. I had a cold aura surrounding me. Vlad turned his head to look at me. He also hated the so-called father of ours to the core.

He did not ask much and our driver continued to drive.

After 15 minutes we reached our grandparent's house, then I said to my brother, “After 2 days I will also come visit grandpa and grandma. But, do tell me when you would be departing from Italy, I will also go with you.” But he did not even step out of the car, he kept sitting there. I asked, “Aren't you going to meet grandpa and grandma?”

“No, I will go with you there.”

He said while looking straight ahead.

“Why?” I had confusion written on my face.

“Because, I have an unfinished business with them.” he said while sniggering.

I pondered for a moment, then waved at Ana to tell the driver to continue driving towards Paolo Testa villa.

Well, yes, it was my father's name. Strange, isn't it? To old-fashioned… because Paolo means 'small '…

My stepmother or the mistress, that is kept by my father is known as, Giulia Costa. Well, Giulia means 'Youthful '… She's an utter embarrassment to her family because of the methods she used to approach my father. That's why her family, disowned her.

Giulia's daughter, my stepsister, is called Beronia Testa. Beronia means 'a person who is pure or white '. She's a whole opposite to her name. She's just like her mother, a **********.

Giulia used to work as an employee in my mother's company, 'Carmenta '. It is a goddess name, which is a goddess of spells, known for chanting incantations in verse to ease the pains of women in labour and children facing illness. My father was vice president, whereas my mother was the chairwoman and the president of the company. That woman seduced my father, which led to the extramarital affair.

Her daughter is as the same as her mother because\, during high school\, she seduced almost all the males of high school and even had *** with professors to obtain good marks.

It was an open secret, known almost by the entire school.

Giulia Costa is now the vice president of Carmenta and my father is chairman and president. The next heiress of Carmenta is Beronia Testa, as she's my father's 'little princess '.

Soon we arrived at the Testa villa.
