Paskal’s POV

I sat in the car two blocks away from the hospital waiting for Circe to call me back or return to the car. Two hours had gone by, clearly she had been captured. The stupid b***h! I hope she had completed her task and managed to keep her mouth shut! She wanted to be Soraya so badly so she would keep her mouth shut. I would only be able to replace out if she had succeeded with her task when I went to the estate.

I started the car and drove back to the the hotel, i poured myself a whisky and coke then sat down. Tomorrow I would go to the estate, It would be more dramatic to show up in the morning before they all left for work. I had discussed this with Hans. I had called him and he had texted that he was busy but we were still all systems go for tomorrow.

I smiled as I took a long sip of my drink. Circe seemed to think that Soraya was a force to be reconned with, I would have to discipline her into submission when I had taken over. I would create another dungeon just like the one I had created in the basement at the house in Italy. That kind of space would definitely knock the fight out of her.

Well coupled with the death of her son, that would definitely knock the wind out of her sails. There would be no Xander to threaten me or knock me around for looking her way, I would be free to have my way with her.

Soraya’s POV.

It was early in the morning around seven, I walked into the dungeons ready for today. I walked up to Hans’ cell looked at him. He was wide awake looking like he had been waiting a long time for this day to come.

“If it isn’t the queen of the Adamos dynasty.” He smiled at me.

“Hi Hans, it’s good to see that this place hasn’t dampened your spirit.” I smiled back at him.

“I will be going home very soon, that’s if you keep your promise to pay me and let me go.”

“If you do your job properly and you stay away from my family, you and I should be just fine. And I’m willing to bet that with my persuasion, Xander might just forgive your sins.” I chuckled and gestured for Leon to open the gate of the cell.

“Aren’t you scared that I might just break your pretty and delectable little neck right here right now?” He looked at me coyly and walked towards the cell even though his chains were chained to the wall. I laughed as he looked me up and down.

“No I am not, as much as you are a misogynist… your entire attitude screams patriotism Hans. You are not going to leave your men to fend for themselves because they pledged their lives to you. You wouldn’t risk killing me just to have the Adamos brothers kill you and your entire team.” Leon unchained him from the wall and led him outside the cell.

“You are right about that and uhmm unfortunately I think I might have grown quite fond of you.” He grinned.

“Awww so sweet, it cant be because of my charming manners or the way I have been treating you. I highly doubt that very much… you are the type that likes your women submissive, passive and very scared of you.”

“Well after a few days in here I am a changed man.” He rubbed his palms together, “in fact I want our alliance to be a permanent one.” He was laying on the charm pretty thick. I could see where this was going, Hans was a muscle man for hire and he was pretty good at it but if he aligned himself to a powerful family name it would make him even better.

“It seems you have a lot of sway with your husband.” He continued.

“Let’s see how you do today, I will think about it.” I couldn’t help but smile, if he only knew that if Xander were here he would dismiss him only on the basis that he was flirting with me. “I will still have snipers on you because I do not trust you and you have to put on this listening device.”

“I am okay with that, as long as I don’t have to wear a vest that will blow up on me while I’m running.” He kept smiling at me. Gosh did he really think I was buying this changed man act. I wasn’t going to tell him all this because I needed him to be well behaved today in front of Paskal, if I antagonised him he might just blow the plan.

“Remember when you get to the estate it will look like you are actually shooting at the guards by the entrance, you will be using prop guns and firing blanks. The guards will make it look believable but just incase they have bullet proof vests on. When you have breached the entrance you will get to the front entrance, there will be another pretend shootout before the men turn their guns on Paskal and then we will apprehend him.” I explained the plan one more time.

“I got it, I’m ready.” He was too eager.

Leon put a hood over his head and we went all the way up to the entrance of the warehouse. Hector and Dorian had just arrived.

Hector’s POV

“You are an early bird.” I smiled at Soraya. She smiled back at me and pointed at Hans. She was dressed like she was ready for war, she had on black female tactical cargo trousers, a white tank top and a black baseball jacket I could have sworn was Xander’s. She had matched it up with black badass combat boots, her hair was tied back into a pony.

“We have got quite a long day ahead of us. Leon get him in the black van will you.” She ordered.

As soon as Hans was chained to the stationary truck she gestured for us to leave. I opened the passenger side of my G Wagon for her and she slid in very gracefully. I went around to the drivers side and started the car.

“We are going to drop Hans of at the same cafe he met up with Paskal. The tactical teams will be waiting somewhere close by. Two snipers on Hans because he isn’t going to have the bomb vest on him and we are going to give him a prop weapon.” She rehearsed this slowly.

“Soraya.” I called out her name.”

“Yes…” she looked up at me.

“Today is your birthday.” I said to her quietly and smiled. She frowned at me then looked ahead as I navigated through the streets. “Stacy called this morning to remind me.” I told her.

“I should be with Xander.” She said and looked at her hands which were placed in front of her.

“We can do this without you you know.” I said gently. She shook her head.

“I want to see the look on Paskal’s face when we capture him.” Her eyes looked so cold, I wondered if she would recover from all that she had been put through. She was tough sure but this was not a role I would ever choose for Stacy or want to ever see her in, it ate at a person slowly.

“Hector I’m fine, I don’t need you to pity me. I asked for Xander to introduce me into this world and I don’t regret it.” She said. It was like she could read my mind. “Knowing what I know today I would still make the same decisions.” She looked ahead as the car sped.

“I understand, I just wish that things were a little different right now. I miss Xander too you know.” I said to her.

She sighed and didn’t say anything for some time. “You speak like he’s dead.” She said finally. “You sit there in the hospital and you look at him pitifully and it infuriates me.”

This shocked me, it definitely was not my intention to present that kind of energy or make her feel that way. “I want him to wake up too.”

“And he will, he will recover and be the head of this family again.” She said sternly.

“Yes I agree.” I said to her but she still frowned and faced forward.

Paskal’s POV

Hans walked into the cafe, he looked much better today like things were going very well for himself. His other deal was probably going very well.

“Adamos, are you ready for war?” He smiled at me as he sat down. The cafe was empty since it was really early in the morning.

“You look a little too excited.” I said to him as I sipped my coffee. I signalled for the waitress to come to the table.

“You are about to be the owner of a very wealthy powerful empire.” He reminded me. “Are you not excited?”

I grinned at him, when he put it like that then I was f*****g excited. I couldn’t wait to put a bullet in Hector and I definitely couldn’t wait to put Soraya in her place. “I might just hire you to stick with me for good.” I told him.

The waitress came to the table, she was a sexy skinny blonde girl with big brown eyes. “Hey sweet cakes, why don’t you get my friend here a cup of coffee and the same breakfast order I have.” I told her and winked. She blushed and walked away, sashaying her cute little a*s as she walked off.

“The women in Greece are definitely something to look at.” Hans smiled and laughed out loud.

“If you stay, you can explore.” I said to him. “So how many men did you bring with you?” I asked.

“You don’t need that many men if we are going to ambush them at the house, I have 35 men with me.” He explained.”

“That estate is under heavy protection. With Xander dead there must be more guards around the entire estate. I took the liberty of calling another friend to bring thirty more of his men.” I informed him. His face changed as I said this.

“You are still going to get paid everything I owe you man so you don’t have to worry.” I assured him.

“I don’t work well with others, and I don’t like surprises Adamos.” He scowled at me.

“This is to ensure that we walk out with the price today.” I snapped at him. “This is my mission Kraus.”

“And you asked me to have your back and I’m doing it even though you still haven’t provided me with proof that your brother is dead!” He raged at me.

“Keep it down! Do you want to alert everyone in here what we are up to?” I frowned at him. He was starting to annoy me but I still needed him if my plan to take over was going to work. Damn it! if Circe had come back she would be able to confirm for me if that bastard was dead! But it was fine I could always go back to the hospital to finish him off after taking over.

“So who is this person that gave you thirty men?” Hans asked quietly.

“A friend from Italy, he owns a security company. Luca Colombo.” I smiled.

“I have to take a piss.” Hans said with so much annoyance on his face as he got up and walked away. He would get over it.

Soraya’s POV

“Dorian is calling, I’m going to put him on loud speaker.” I let Hector know. “Hey Dorian you are on loudspeaker.” Hector and I were still sitting in his G Wagon waiting.

“We have a problem Dona, Paskal got thirty more men from a guy we don’t know. I am trying to get as much information about him right now.” Dorian informed us.

“Damn it! What’s this guy’s name.” Hector asked him.

“Luca Colombo, apparently he owns a security company in Italy.”

“We still have more men, but now they are at a risk of actually getting shot at. Brief the tactical team that’s going to be with Hans that there is a change of plan. We have to lead Paskal into an empty warehouse where we can apprehend him and these men. Do we currently have one?” I asked the men hoping that we did.

“Yeah we do, its not really empty per say but it will work. How do we get Hans and Paskal there? How do we brief Hans?” Dorian asked.

“Brief the tactical unit, when Hans goes to the truck they will let him know, one of them needs to pull him to the side and tell him of the changes.” Hector said. “Replace their prop weapons with real ones now.”

“One of us needs to be there or else Hans won’t believe it, I’m going to hide in the truck with the tactical team.” I volunteered but Hector looked at me like I was crazy.

“Have you lost your mind? What if this goes wrong and you get caught in the crossfire! I will not agree to that. We can’t really trust Hans” He growled at me.

We have to do this, I am not going to risk our men getting killed, Hans will go rogue and look out for himself if push comes to shove. This will show him that we still have a deal with him.”

“Why don’t we just get the snipers to take Paskal out when he leaves the cafe. Hector argued.

“That’s messy, a public place? how are we going to cover that up? We can’t endanger innocent people. What if this Luca person is waiting outside with his twenty men and a fight ensues and besides that’s an easy death for Paskal, he doesn’t deserve an easy death!” I countered back. “I want him tortured.”

“Soraya if anything happens to you what will I say to Xander? f**k it I won’t be able to face your son for the rest of my f*****g life!” He yelled at me.

“I will be fine.” I reached out for his arm to calm him down. “We can do this, it will work.” I said softly. He scowled at me and shook his head.

“Hector this is an order, we are doing it my way!” I said sternly.

“Soraya!” He growled at me again.

“No! This will work.” I said again.

“Fine but Leon needs to be next to you at all times.” He challenged me. “Xander wasn’t kidding when he said that you were hella stubborn.”

“I’m okay with that.” I smiled at him. He took a deep breath then sighed out.

“Besides you guys will be right there with loaded guns hiding in the warehouse.” I said.

“Take this and this.” He took of his shoulder gun holster and adjusted it then gave it to me to put on, then he placed a FN Five-seven pistol in my hand. “The magazines are in these compartments in here but the gun is already loaded.” He looked nervous.

“I have a gun with me you know.” I laughed.

“Yeah well it never hurts to have extra. There’s a pocket knife in here.” He pointed to one of the pockets on the holster.

“Okay cool I’m ready. I will be fine I promise, I’m not dying on my birthday.” I said.

“You better not, that’s ominous.” He pointed out making me chuckle.

Hector dropped me off where Hans ‘men’ were supposed to be parked. I briefed the men that there was a change of plans and asked one of the guys to get Hans from the cafe. “Just tell him we have a bit of an issue with half of the team and he needs to come to the van.”

I hid in the back of the van with Leon while we waited. Hans came to the van and the door opened slightly.

“This i***t brother in law of yours can’t seem to stick to plans.” He hissed at me when he saw me.

“It’s a good thing you warned us, it’s okay we prepared for this. Instead of going to the estate tell him that you have to go and deal with a small issue at a warehouse. He has to come with you though, him and this Luca guy.” I briefed him.

“Why don’t I just kill him right here for you.” He smiled.

“Because covering it up will be a nightmare and I want to have a little fun with him before I send him six feet under.” I said vehemently.

“Now I see why Xander married you.” He grinned at me and chuckled. “I’m going to need a weapon though, I’m not going in there with a prop gun.” He scowled at me.

“I wouldn’t expect you too, we replaced the props with the real deal.” I informed him.

He walked back into the cafe to talk to Paskal.

Paskal’s POV

“Are we going to have an issue?” I looked at Hans as he walked back to the table we sat at.

“No, where is this Luca guy of yours? We have to get going.” He asked.

“He is going to be here in ten minutes.”

“We are going to have to pass by a warehouse where the rest of the tactical team is, two black vans parked in the streets would have looked very suspicious. The weapons are also at the warehouse.” He said to me.

“Fine, let’s just wait for Luca then we can leave, it will give us a chance to go over the plan together anyways.” Hans was a professional, I believed he knew what he was doing. I knew that he didn’t like to have his plans changed because it compromised the mission but a few more people to help us would actually benefit us.

“While we wait why don’t I tell you a story of how I destroyed Xander’s world before just like I’m going to do today.” I chuckled.

Hans looked at me and frowned.

“My brother had a wife eight years ago and I got her killed and today I will make his second wife… his widow my bitch.” I laughed out loud.

“With family like you, who the heck needs enemies.” Hans said, he wasn’t laughing though like I was expecting. He didn’t have a f*****g sense of humour.

A few moments later, Luca and his men arrived in a big van and personal cars, this seemed to suit Hans just fine because he thought we would look inconspicuous to any observant eye.

We drove off to this warehouse that was twenty minutes away. I was in my Audi tailing Hans’ van, two of Hans’ men got out of the van and opened the warehouse doors. All the cars parked in and the men got out, the warehouse doors closed behind us. Luca and his men walked out of their cars and walked towards me. Hans got out of the van and walked towards the van that was already parked a little further into the warehouse.

In a few hours I would have what belonged to me.

“Paskal we are wasting time, we need to be going.” Luca walked up to me.

“Hans just needs to sort out something with the tactical unit before we leave, we can’t leave without him… he is one of the best.” I smiled at Luca who looked restless.

Just as I said this, Hans’ men came out with rifles in their hands, more men came out from the van he had been in. The men looked menacing as they filed out in front of us.

A few more men came out of some door a few meters behind us and filed out right behind us, Hector and Dorian were there too. I was confused by this. We were surrounded by Hans’ men, why were Hector and Dorian here.

“Hans what the hell is going on.” I snarled at him as they began to point their guns at myself, Luca and his men. Luca’s men readied their own guns and pointed back.

“I forgot to tell you that I got a better deal from your sister in law.” He said and smiled slyly at me. As he said this one of those dumb Adamos twins came out of one of the vans followed by Soraya who had a gun in her hands.

“Hello boys.” She smiled. I couldn’t believe that Hans had betrayed me!

“What the f**k is this!” Luca yelled at me.

“You must be Luca Colombo.” Soraya addressed him. “You are on the wrong team.”

“Adamos who the hell is this b***h!

Soraya’s POV

The look on Paskal’s face was priceless, it had been worth it just to see him looking panicked as he looked around him. They were surrounded with nowhere to go.

“I am what they call the reckoning, retribution, your impending doom. Take your pick” I smiled zealously.

“I didn’t come here to die today.” Luca pointed out. “But if I have to I will take some of you motherfuckers with me, Luca started to shoot, his team taking the cue from him as they began to hide by their cars. The tactical team shot back, I didn’t want Paskal to get caught in the crossfire so I aimed at him while I tried to hide by the van as the fight ensued. I clipped his thigh and he fell to the ground as he tried to shoot back at me. I hid by the van but aimed my gun and shot at Luca multiple times, he dropped dead to the ground.

I heard Paskal yelling from where I was. The men had been under strict instructions not to kill him. He began to drag himself away to his car but Hans walked up to him and kicked his gun out of his hands, pointing a rifle at him, Hector and the rest of the men came out of hiding also shooting, the fight was over really quick. Luca and his men were on the ground. I looked around me, it looked like a few of my men had superficial wounds but they looked okay.

I walked towards Hans and Paskal. “This will teach you not to go coveting things that are not yours, but what is a lesson learned if you don’t get the chance to rectify your shitty personality.”

“I should have killed you, I planned to kill that little brat of yours too you know.” He laughed out loud.

“Well you seem to be failing at a lot of things lately. You couldn’t kill Xander, your little mistress failed at her task too. She off’d herself you know.” I looked him dead in the eyes.

“She was a dispensable bitch.” He continued to laugh.

“Was Hera dispensable too? Wait till Xander gets his hands on you. Your bragging earned you a life time of torture.” Just looking at him disgusted me.

“You are nothing! You are just some b***h that Xander found probably in the gutters! He cleaned you up pretty good and put a gun in your hands!” He yelled at me.

“That’s all you can come up with? I smiled at him. “Leon get him into the van.” I turned around to walk away but stopped when he began to rant again.

“Do you know how satisfying it was to throw that hand grenade at Xander, it didn’t kill him but it knocked him out. I pummelled him and broke a few ribs and it felt very good to do it. Then I pummelled his face. He’s never going to wake up from that coma he is in.” He laughed out loud like a mad man. I could feel Hans’ eyes on me.

I walked towards him and used the gun to hit him in the head, he continued to laugh like a raving lunatic as he bled. “It was so satisfying, if I had had more time I would have made sure he died. The Adamos golden boy, the mighty and powerful Xander Adamos on the floor dying, looking vulnerable with no one to protect him or save him.”

“I know what you are trying to do, you want me to kill you right here right now. That would be too kind, I’m going to take my time torturing you. I’m not only going to avenge Xander but Hera too!”

“Kill me you b***h! Kill me!” He yelled.

“And when Xander has recovered he will continue the torture.” I sneered at him. “Get him out of my sight!.”

They tied him up and dragged him into one of the vans.

Hans stood in front of me and assessed me. “So Xander is in a coma?”

“Xander is awake and recovering. That’s why I have taken over.” I bluffed assuming a serious look on my face.

“Are you going to let me go?” He looked doubtful.

“I keep my promises. You stay in your lane and you don’t come back to attack me and I won’t kill you.” I said calmly making him laugh. Hector came to stand next to me.

“You are one hell of a woman, and the way you handled that gun is fire.” He grinned. “You have got an ally in me Soraya Adamos.”

“I guess I will have to put in a good word for you after all.” I smiled at him.

Finally Paskal has been captured!!! Lol. It has been a long time coming. Let’s see what Soraya has planned for him.
