Third Person POV


In the conference room of the Cassano Buildings, one of the main businesses owned by the family, sat executives, advisors, board members, assistants and the CEO of the empire Damien Cassano.

They were having a meeting with one of the advisors presenting reasons on why the company should not buy the land for the new development plan to build a mall.

Damien Cassano leaned back in his chair with his expression unreadable as always but in the eyes of the advisor he was completely unimpressed, that shook his confidence a little bit and he found himself stuttering.

Damien kept his eyes on the advisor who was labeled Andrè as he stuttered away. "Stop stuttering you're doing great"

Hearing the words, Andrè got a new sense of confidence and continued with his presentation. The boss was cold and detached but he didn't have a cold heart, that was proven today.

Just as he was about to get to the main point, Damien's phone buzzed on the table.

He glanced down to his screen blinking Alexander's name. Originally he was going to ignore it but then remembering they weren't home and it might be something important he decided to take it.

He held up his hand, his palm facing Andrè as he answered the phone. "Un attimo".

(one moment)

"Xander, what's up?" he said a little casually.

"Damien, I.. I think Noel's been kidnapped" a flicker of emotion passes by Damien's face as he hears the news but he quickly suppresses it.

"You think?" Alexander explains the situation on the other side and Damien slowly finds himself getting angry.

"Check the cctv footage and give me updates on every little thing you find, I'll take care of it" Damien ended the call, pushed back his chair and stood up his movements controlled.

Every one in the room exchanged curious glances but they knew better than to ask questions.

"Leo, please continue" he said calmly as if a storm was not brewing inside of him.

His personal assistant Leonardo ordered for the meeting to continue while Damien exited the conference room with his usual composure.

Reaching the hallway, he paused for a moment taking in the news. His eyes narrowed slightly with his jaw clenched but his expression remained unreadable.

He quickly but smoothly pulled out in phone out of his pocket and called his head of security Eliza while striding down the hallway desperate to get to his car.

The call went through and Damien laid out the situation to Eliza.

"Find out who's responsible" he spoke in a low and deadly tone. "I want names, addresses, how many they are, everything" After instructing, Damien started his car and sped away.

He gave Alexander a call. "Tell Luca I'll be there in fifteen".

In order to find Noel, Luca was needed because he was a hacker, a great one at that.

As he said, fifteen minutes later Damien arrived and picked up Luca. He quickly drove to the base
