Adriana's POV
It's the first day of June which means I've been working for Elijah for a month and a half. I'm utterly exhausted. I took and passed my finals last month so Elijah has been taking advantage of the fact that I've been out of school. He makes me work from sunset to sunrise which has completely fucked up my sleep schedule.
Mom started nagging me a lot more than usual for not eating. I argued that it's not my fault I'm tired all the time but he didn't budged.
In an effort to avoid him I stole the pin to one of dad's apartments in the city
"When was the last time you went home?" Elijah asked pulling me out of thought
"Last night." I lied
"That's not what your grandfather said."
"Shit, gramps knows? I'm so fucked." I groaned

"I don't know like a week." I shrugged
"Go home tonight. I'm worried about you and so is your family."

"They just want to make sure you're okay."

"I told you I'd stop killing them if you gave me Russians."
"I don't negotiate with terrorists. Moving forward you will be working solo."
"How the fuck am I supposed to pull off tonight's bust if I have no men? I swear I won't slaughter tonight's team." I compromised
"This is your last chance."
"Whatever."
For weeks we have been preparing to raid the German's largest auction. They normally hold it in Germany but this year they decided to be bold and host it in Elijah's territory and behind his back.
I've shut down dozens of smaller auctions and I'm hoping this one goes as smoothly.
A Few Hours Later
I fucking jinxed myself. Not only were they expecting us but we took heavy casualties. What enrages me the most is that all the VIPs were able to escape during the commotion.
"The police were called. We have to leave now!" An American lackey yelled at me
I restrained myself from killing him and responded with,
