  ALESSANDRO'S POV

"They caught her"

Back to the present day. Dante left my office after I gave him the little story. Nothing was easy about Venom, even the times I got to breathe in the same room as hers, she somehow managed to trick me, to slip through my hands as if it's normal, as if I can't catch someone I wanted for years. I want to be angry, I want to feel so much hatred towards her that if I lay an eye on her shadow, I advance to kill it, to kill her and end this whole thing. But I'm not.

I'm not angry, I'm not upset and I definitely don't want to kill her. She attracts me in some sort of ways I yet couldn't understand. She's so mysterious and secretive I want to follow her evidence and see what it leads to, only if she gives me anything to follow. I am not trying to track her every move down to attack, to go for the kill, I'm only trying to figure a way to get closer to her.

She was in my house, my basement and I let her go as if it didn't take months to find her. I was busy getting information about her, and never planned what to do with her.

Kidnapping her was a quick decision, uncalculated. I believe that's why I let her go. I still had no reason to kill her, not feeling the need to take out the living soul in her body was surprising, she killed thousands of my men yet killing her wasn't the key.

I want to know her, dig into that hidden life she has because while everyone attempted to find her to fight, to take away her last breath, no one attempted what I'm doing. No one enters hell and searches for more. You're supposed to run, you're supposed to beg for help while I chase it. I chase and search until I get what I want.

Many ideas cast in my head, waiting for me to use one of them desperate tries but only one stood out. To just visit professionally, offering her to live with us. I know this seems unbelievable and sounds insane. In the end, if she was able to hide from that many mafias and assassins, she might be a good use.

But nothing comes that easy. I rested my back on the chair, playing with the pen around my fingers, wondering, thinking over and over as if my life depended on it. I sighed, trying to make the right decision for once about her because since she got into my world, all the decisions are turning doubtful and it's making me lose my mind.

I see it as an opportunity, as a shot we could use to our benefit, however, we don't know the consequences. Around this entire planet and billions of people, it's left in the dark, it's left far away from the human eyes to witness what would happen if we have this close contact with her. She built herself and a name so deadly, so ruthless and known that no one dares to take a step closer to her, that no one has the heart to lock eyes with the hazel pair that caused so many deaths and so many murders.

They may have their reasons, they may be weak and not up for this battle but I am. I threw my body off the chair and got out of the office, calling Dante and Emilion because we're going after Venom.

The car ride was silent, aside from Emilion per annoying questions we made it in front of the first house in thirty minutes. She chose her locations wisely and far from one another, to tiers those who try to reach her. I could have brought some extra men and let them explore the other houses but there was no need of taking more. She might think we're coming to kill her and the tables turn.
