#UNEDITED
"Good girl"
Her eyes flew open, only to meet with the oceanic eyes of Madden.
"Master" the word came out of her mouth before she knew it, and he dropped her easily.
They both looked up to see a boiling Igor, leaning on the window with wide shocked eyes.
Madden smirked at him before motioning at Adeline.
"Move" told her, leading the way to a waiting Audi car.
They both hopped on the backseat, and she was surprised to see Loud and Jinx in the front.
Loud brought the car engines back to life, screeching as he drove them roughly away from the hotel.
Almost immediately, Andrei ran out of the hotel, right hand in his hair.
"Damn it!" He spat when he saw the car driving away already.
He rushed to another car with the aim of chasing them with that one, but Igor's call stopped him.
He picked impatiently. "Stop! you'll never catch up!" Igor instructed.
Andrei adamantly entered the car...
"Loud drove the car, asshole! He's the fastest racer in the clan and you know you'll never catch up. Quit and f+çking come up!" Igor shouted for the second time.
Andrei gave up this time, coming out of the car and slamming the door as if it's Micheal's neck.
He only needs to see Micheal right now, and he'd blow his head off without waiting.
He was raging so much as he went back into the hotel, meeting Igor in the messy room.
Igor dialled Sin's line brusquely, and he picked so fast.
"I need you to hack into my laptop right now and delete every bit of info on it. Password is .... MOTHER" He worded, hesitating before saying the last word.
"You lost your laptop? You backed everything up right? Get another laptop and login with your details just spare me the stress" Sin replied tiredly.
"You f+çking skunk! It was stolen by Madden, and he mustn't have access to what's in it so do what I asked!" Igor slammed.
"Wait! Madd flew out too? How did he get your location? Don't tell me it's true that you took Micheal along. Are you daft? Micheal is too close to Madd and no matter the glitch, they won't part! Madd trained him and you expect him to suddenly be for you? Oh Igor, this is so f+çking interesting!" Sin laughed.
The tiredness in his voice disappeared already.
"Do what I asked or I'll kill you when I get back to Russia. I swear!" Igor threatened.
"Are you threatening me? ME?" Sin laughed again.
"Corey." Igor suddenly said, and Sin went silent.
"I know he's innocent. You framed him and implicated him because Trixie likes him. He's wanted by the organization cos of you. Think about how Trixie will hate you if I tell her this" Igor continued with a defeating smile.
Sin kept up with the silence, and Igor grinned.
"Cat's got your tongue, little brother?"
"What's the laptop password again?" Sin asked calmly.
"MOTHER, and get it done within three minutes. Use the clan servers" Igor replied and hung up.
"Are you sure this will work? What if Death guesses your password right before three minutes?" Andrei asked.
"MOTHER? Even if Madden is a damn ghost, he won't ever get it right, and as for Micheal..." Igor's lips went flat, his voice embedded with hate.
"I'll do to him exactly what Sin did to Corey." He promised.
*
INSIDE THE CAR*
The Audi is still racing down the tarred road, and Madden has the laptop already.
He's currently trying to open it, but all the password idea he has been getting, they've been incorrect.
"You should try calling Sin" Adeline said beside him.
"Igor probably called him already" Madden replied dryly, his eyes focused on the screen.
"But doesn't he like you? I mean..." Adeline said.
"Sin will never chose Master over Igor" Jinx replied from the front.
"Then we should get crushed magnet and try the trick" Adeline said, and Madden suddenly remembered something.
He took off his cross necklace and removed a lid from the right hand of the cross, then from there, he blew crushed magnet into laptop.
The magnet got stuck on the keys, but six alphabets got more of the magnet.
Adeline tried joining the alphabets, but Madden was faster.
"Mother?" He smirked, clicking the word on the laptop.
The laptop unlocked, and the schedule of tomorrow's meeting with the target is the first thing they saw.
Before they could start reading, it cleared off with every other thing on the laptop.
It became empty, and Madden threw it out through the window, scattering laptops keys across the road.
"It's true, Sin probably helped Igor to clear it. I couldn't read anything before it cleared" Adeline said slowly.
"They're meeting tomorrow by 10am, at Harbor 360 Hotel top hall" Madden announced.
"You saw it before it cleared?" Adeline asked surprisingly.
"Sharp sight is a necessity in the underworld. Your death will be interesting if your eyes are slow" Madden replied, giving her a short glare before resting on the backseat, shutting his eyes.
Adeline scoffed, and Loud grinned from the front.
"How did you know about the magnet trick though? Never heard of it" He asked.
"My late mum worked at a cyber security company. I learnt one or two" Adeline replied with a hint of sadness in her voice.
"Oh...cool" Loud nodded.
"I thought Master would be the only one to come according to the mail. I wasn't expecting you both to come with him" Adeline said.
"Master never reveals all his cards yunno? We took off immediately you guys did. We located the hotel thanks to the tracker Master planted on you. And i was the one who started the fire which took roughly ten minutes" Jinx briefed.
"Wait... Tracker? On me?" Adeline started checking herself out and was shocked when she saw it on her right leg sneaker.
She took the small device, then she looked at Madden's face. His eyes are still closed.
When did he even plant this on her without her notice?
Must be last night at the saloon, probably the moment before he gave her the vodka bottle.
F+ck!
How could he....
The car came to an halt, interrupting her thoughts.
She looked out of the window and was awed to see they're in front of another hotel. Phoenix hotel.
She quickly came down and ran to the other side of the door to open it for Madden.
He stepped out and took off the leather jacket he's wearing, then he took the door from her and slammed it with a glare.
"I didn't ask you to" he said.
"I don't mind" she plainly said, and he rolled eyes before entering the hotel.
Adeline scoffed secretly, and Loud's arm landed on her shoulder.
"Man, you were awesome. I've never pulled that stunt before. I mean... Jumping down the window of a fifth floor with a rope." Jinx said.
"Was awesome, can't wait to try it out again" Adeline replied boldly.
"Aren't you really blending with the underworld so well?" Loud said proudly.
"You can say that again" Adeline winked, and they shared a laughter as they entered the hotel.
"We should share a room, Micheal" Loud said.
"I'll join you both. Can't stay alone" Jinx said, but when they got to the reception, the story changed.
"There are different keys for y'all, according to Mr. Smirnov" a blonde lady they met there said.
"Different?" The three chorused, and the lady nodded with a kind smile, handing them their keys individually.
"See you guys tomorrow then" Loud grunted in dissatisfaction, entering the elevator with Jinx since their rooms are in the same floor.
Adeline waved lazily at them till the elevator closed, then she entered the second one which took her to the second floor where her room is.
Opening the door, she gasped as she stepped in only to meet Madden inside.
He's sitting on the bed foot like a god, smoking hotly.
The smell of jaguar impregnated the room, and she felt lightheaded as she inhaled the strong smokes.
"Master? Why are you here?" She carefully asked.
"Get some sleep whenever you're ready" he replied curtly, standing and grabbing a towel before entering the adjoining room.
Adeline stood on that same spot for minutes, trying to figure out what this means.
They're gonna be sharing a room?
She exhaled and dissolved it as nothing, then she discovered there's another adjoining room, meaning there are two bathrooms.
She quickly stripped herself and grabbed the second towel, wrapping it on her chest before entering that door.
Surprisingly, it's not a bathroom, it's a steam room!
Steam wafted through the room, shrouding her body with wet mist.
Vapor fogged everywhere, making it hard to see more than a few feet.
"F+ck" she smiled, feeling muscle-relaxed as she inhaled the sweltering steam
She missed getting warm.
She eventually took her seat on the tiled surface, but she was shocked to see Madden sitting in front of her.
The vapor must have covered him earlier.
Only the towel is wrapped on his lean waist, and his skin his body leaned back.
His eyes are on her, like he has been watching her since she came in, and that made her wonder just how sneaky he can be.
He's a dangerous, and it only makes him more scary.
Didn't he go in through the other door earlier? How come he's here?
It's only possible if there's an inner door, and when she looked beside herself, she saw an inner door connecting the two rooms together.
"Knew it" she muttered, returning her eyes to him.
He has another cigar stick between his lips already, but it's not lightened.
His tattoos are darker, and his eyes are a crazier shade of wild.
The tension was dense as her treacherous eyes went down to the middle of his legs, and she saw something peeking out.
His balls!
She wanted to look away, but she couldn't, and she had to pinch herself.
"Enjoying the view, Micheal?" His voice came, and she snapped out of it, tightening the towel on her chest awkwardly.
"How come you have crushed magnet in your cross necklace?" She suddenly asked.
He darted his lids before speaking...
"It's poison. Crushed magnet is just one of the ingredients"
"Poison inside a cross necklace? You're...
"Insane?" He raised his lids.
"No. Morally grey" she replied and stood.
"Goodnight, Master" she said and started rushing out of the room.
"I'm morally dark, not grey. You're ruining my reputation, Addie" his thick voice came, and she looked back to see him smirking.
She eventually left wordlessly, and a little smile tugged at Madden's lips.
It left as fast as it came though, and he rolled the steam generator button, reducing the flow before leaning back.
He can't stand heat cos it reminds him of the stuffy basement, but there are times when he wants to really dig out the memories.
Times like now.
*
RUSSIA, CLAN KITCHEN*
"Maya said Micheal went to Alaska with Igor. No wonder I haven't seen him" Angelika said.
She's sitting on the kitchen island again while Lady Selesta prepared the compound dinner.
"You now talk with Maya? That insane lady who's in love with knives?" Lady Selesta replied.
"Are you badmouthing me?" Maya said, entering the kitchen with crossed arms.
"Maya!" Angelika raised her arms, and Maya carried her.
"I'm saying the truth. You love your knife more than anything" Lady Selesta replied.
"True, except Madden" Maya said immediately, and Selesta smiled.
"He scares me" Angelika said.
"Really?" Maya asked.
"Yes. H looks too scary and he doesn't smile" she replied.
Lady Selesta and Maya exchanged glances.
"When is my real mommy coming back?" Angelika talked again.
"You told her about it already?" Maya faced Selesta.
"She's too smart for her age, and she was getting curious." Selesta replied, and Maya held Angelika's face.
"Your real mommy is a bî+ch, so you don't need her. Ok?"
Angelika nodded.
*
TRIXIE'S SUITE*
Sin has been parading the door for like two hours now, waiting for Trixie to come back.
He checked the compound through the cameras already, but she's nowhere to be found, meaning she went out.
He hasn't been able to get his mind off the kiss, and at the same time, he couldn't forget what Igor said about Corey.
Igor was aware that he was behind Corey's case? Then it's over cos Igor will use it against him so much and this is only the start.
He dipped his nails into his mouth, biting nervously till Trixie finally showed up.
"Where's my locket?" She asked straight, her face closed-off.
"I can't give you that, but I'm sorry about the kiss, and about Corey, I...
"If you're not gonna give me the necklace, then leave, but anytime I step your suite to take it, your dead" Trixie cut him off, went in and shut the door at his face.
"Shit!" He hit the door.
"Are you guys fighting again?" Kimberly's voice spoke behind him, and he turned, looking disgusted.
Kimberly's hair color changed to platinum... She obviously dyed it.
"You should brine her. Buy her arrows since she likes it and...
"Shut up! Who said you could advise me when your occupation is begging for Igor's d+ck? Get the f+ck away" Sin cut her off and pushed past her, storming away.
Kimberly bit the side of her mouth painfully, fighting the rage in her.
"That jerk"
*
CLINIC*
Malik has his two hands in his pockets as he entered Poe's ward, and a grin appeared on his face when he saw her condition.
No matter the herb or treatment, her face can never remain the same when she wakes.
She'll become scar-faced and probably turn ugly, and he can't wait for that.
"But Death did this to her because of Micheal too?" He said in confusion, squeezing his brows.
"Who exactly is Michael?"
*
*
ALASKA, NEXT MORNING~ ADELINE'S ROOM*
Adeline made sure to sleep early last night, so she woke just in time even though she still wants to sleep more.
Madden never came out of the steam room before she slept last night, so she didn't see him before dozing of.
She yawned loudly and sat up in bed only to see him sitting on the sofa not far from the bed.
He's on his phone, dressed in suit already.
"Did I wake up late?" She got down from the bed fast.
"Get dressed" he replied authoritatively, gesturing at the new black suit on the bed.
Adeline didn't argue before taking it and entering the bathroom.
She had a quick bath for three minutes and dressed up.
The suit fits perfectly, even the waistline of the trousers matched her waist__surprisingly.
She needs to do the tie, but she doesn't know how, so she took it back to the room and dropped it on the bed.
She slipped on the available male shoes which matched her perfectly too, and she stood upright.
"I'm done" she told Madden whose face is still on his phone.
He looked up, and the first thing his eyes caught is the tie lying on the bed
He took it and sat back, then he pulled her to the middle of his legs just like yesterday...at the... saloon.
He likes doing this.
She felt a clench in her stomach as he raised her polo and started doing the tie for her.
Throughout, she tried to maintain her composure.
He finished up shortly, and she made to step away from the middle of his legs, but he suddenly pulled her back by the thighs, making her freeze.
She broke free from the contact immediately, stepping back.
"I'm not doing that again" she said, and he saw something flash in his eyes as it darkened completely.
"I'll make you bleed on me, and you'll scream till you lose your darn voice" he muttered, pushing up his waist.
Adeline stepped back again, wrapping her indifferent face around the fear inside her as his corrupt eyes ravaged her sinfully.
"Careful, cos I never take back my words, but you will" he replied meaningfully, callousness dripping off his tone.
"We're all ready!" Loud and Jinx hollered at the door.
Madden stood tall and led the way out of the room. Adeline followed with a glare on her face.
*
The drive to Harbor 360 hotel took an hour.
Since they left their own hotel at 8, they arrived at past 9am.
Seems Madden's connections works here in Alaska too cos immediately the staffs saw his face, they started whispered among themselves.
* Madden Smirnov?
* The Russian Mafia prince?
* Oh my gawd!
'Smirnov?' Adeline wondered.
When did he change from Orlov?
The lady at Phoenix hotel addressed him as Mr. Smirnov too.
"Don't be confused, Smirnov is Master's real surname" Loud whispered beside Adeline.
Real surname? Meaning he's not an Orlov?
WTF!
Whenever she thinks she knows everything about him, then poof, another secret pops out.
They rode the elevator to the right floor, but guards lined up the hallway, and they heavily blocked the entrance of the only hall in sight.
"The CEO" Madden gravely told the men, but they continued standing still like they heard nothing.
Madden made to go in, but one of them pushed him back by the chest.
Before Madden could murder him, Adeline was already in the front.
She punched that guard in the face, and he crashed to the ground so hard that his head bled.
Madden pulled Adeline back, and it was so rough that she staggered.
"You can't move till I say so" he ordered, his voice too firm, too strong.
"But Master I...
"You can't talk, too" he added, and Adeline bit her lip to stop the words as another guard rushed forward and raised his fist on Madden.
Madden's hulking frame absorbed it like it was nothing, then he swung his fist forward, retaliating with a bone-crushing blow which pivoted the guy to the wall.
Madden's madness wasn't satisfied, cos he pulling him back and kneeled him on the groin.
He threw him forward, hitting his back on the wall intentionally.
His bones crushed, and more guards poured into the hallway.
Loud and Jinx got into action too, and the fight got bloody cos the guards began going down within seconds.
Adeline couldn't move from where she's standing, and her fingers are itching to fight, but damn her master for ordering her not to move
Loud kicked one of them mercilessly to the door, and Jinx did same to another one.
The two crashed on the glass door of the hall, breaking it to the ground.
Guards trooped out from inside the hall too, but the first one Madden grabbed made their jaws drop.
Madden got a hold of his head and twisted it back, automatically breaking his neck.
It didn't end there cos he raised one of the broken door piece with his shoe, caught it with his right hand and shoved it into the eyes of the second one.
Blood splashed on Madden's face and his white dress shirt, driving him wild.
"The CEO" he repeated in a growl and was about to grab the third one when an old man walked out of the room with some comrades behind him.
He's in his late sixties, and his hair is completely grey.
"You've done enough, Death." He said, and Madden walked briskly to the oldie, grabbed him by the throat and slammed his back on the bloody wall
Adeline nearly gasped.
He's old for crying out loud, why is he...
"Why is your name branded on the cabin attack? You bought bullets from the Iranian merchant?" Madden said meanly, his grip hazardous on the old man.
The man's eyes rolled back painfully, and Madden's bloody face made the atmosphere crackle with hostility.
"Since a month ago, a bastard has been using my name to wreck havoc in the underworld" the man replied, and one of his comrades shakily revealed some documents.
Jinx took it and checked them out.
Truly, the documents contain the undercover crimes the person committed in the CEO's name, and a lot of it even appeared in the news.
"I was on house arrest up until last week, all because of crimes he committed in my name" the man said, and Madden roughly let him go.
He fell on the ground.
Madden took the documents, and when he saw the name on everything, his head rang.
Corey.
F+çking Corey.
He stormed out of the hallway immediately, his shirt and face still full of blood, and Adeline followed with the rest.
"Call the pilot, we're returning immediately" He ordered, and Loud retrieved his phone to make the call.
Their elevator went down, and Igor's elevator arrived at the floor.
He stepped out with Andrei, and immediately they saw the six bloodied bodies of the bodyguards on the ground, they knew what had happened.
"I knew it wouldn't work" Andrei muttered in defeat.
"Micheal!!!!!" Igor roared, punching the wall repeatedly till his knuckles bled.
"We're going back immediately. I'm killing him with my bare hands" he said, rushing back into the elevator with bleeding knuckles.
Andrei followed with same amount of anger.
*
RUSSIA, 6:30PM*
The news already reached everyone in the clan, and right now the group chat is bubbling with it.
The compound is full of mobsters as expected.
* Micheal betrayed Igor for Death?
* He was used against Death anyways. He did it to get back his favor obviously.
* Why would Igor want him in his team when he knows he's dedicated to Death?
* Things will get dirty then they get back for sure.
* Heard they arrived at the airfield already.
And at that same moment, Madden's Cherokee drove into the compound.
The chats stopped, and silence rented the weather as Madden stepped out, his eyes slashing and red.
He didn't wait for the rest before heading towards his manor.
Adeline came out with Loud and Jinx, all looking worried about his changed mood.
"Whose name was on the documents?" Adeline suddenly asked.
"It was Cor...
Jinx hasn't finished talking when Kimberly appeared.
"We need to talk, Micheal" she said point-blank.
"On what?" Loud chirped territorially.
Kimberly didn't reply before leaving, and Adeline excused herself before following.
Kimberly led her to the forest, on the same spot they talked at the other time.
"I thought we agreed not to interact openly" Adeline said.
"That was before you decided to start keeping things from me" Kimberly replied, and Adeline frowned.
"What do you mean?"
"I went to the saloon to dye my hair earlier, and yunno what the workers were saying? Death came with a certain Micheal guy, and they were so sure Death gave him a blowjob cos they heard Micheal's grunts. They concluded that Death is gay, but the problem here is you. You're the Micheal. Did he find out you're a lady already? And you kept it from me?" Kimberly said, her voice angry.
Adeline couldn't talk for a minute straight, but then she gathered herself and finally did...
"It wasn't intentional. I didn't want you to worry, and also, what happened at the saloon would never happen again. It was a mistake and he's gonna keep my secret."
Without warning, Kimberly removed the belt in Adeline's suit, and before Adeline could process it, she brought the belt down on Adeline's face, slapping her on the face with it.
"F+ck!" Adeline gasped.
Her cheek instantly turned red, swelling up real bad.
"Kimoshka" she shockingly said, and Kimberly scoffed.
"You needed something to bring you back, and I had to do that as your sister. I am so disappointed! You think Death is human? He's a beast! You forgot what Corey did to our parents because of you? Have some shame we didn't come here to s+x!"
"I know what I'm doing! I'm not losing focus so stop being like this! Don't touch me with that belt again" Adeline replied with red eyes.
"Are you out of your mind? Huh? Adeline Wilson are you?" Kimberly raised the belt again, but Adeline held it this time, defiantly.
She pulled Kimberly to herself with it, so their faces are only inches apart.
"If you still see me as your sister, then let go of the belt, Adeline" Kimberly said, boiling with anger.
Adeline let go of the belt slowly, and Kimberly immediately raised it on her again...
"If that belt touches me again, i swear to my master, I'll wound you" Adeline muttered.
TBC.
