"I want this deal."

"And you aren't getting it!"

"You'll regret it."

"Says the one who doesn't even have any power."
Samidha snapped and Adriano Bianchi banged the table and stood up.

"You little bitch!"

"And what are you? A little pathetic snail? I knew I should've went directly to your cousin Alessio. You wasted my time!"

Two weeks later, Samidha was sitting in a fancy restaurant in Italy with Adriano Bianchi, Alessio's cousin. The one who wanted the throne but didn't get it.

Honestly, looking at how pathetic Adriano was, Samidha was thankful he didn't get it. At least Alessio was smart.

But as they say, a fort is as strong as it's weakest wall, she was gonna use Adriano as the final straw for war.

"Don't you dare touch me! The $500M will still go to your family!'
She seethed when she noticed Adriano was stupid enough to use strength.

He sat back, flaring his nostrils and looking away. Samidha almost smirked and then masked it with a sweet smile.

"Look Adriano, your cousin has way more power than anyone else. It's not you.........it's him. You aren't bad or anything, it's just that he is very good. Trust me, you are the second best. Had it not been for him, I would've gladly given you the 500 million dollar deal."

She spoke and reached out to touch his hand. Her fingers brushed softly on his skin as she smiled seductively.

"I like you better than him honestly. You should've succeeded to the Bianchi throne."
She spoke and sighed sadly, noticing how the man in front of her was falling for everything.

Men. All they needed was a woman to boost their ego.

And Humans, who hated to acknowledge how great they were even if they were second.

There was a reason why Alessio was the biggest. Looking at Adriano she was starting to just respect Alessio.

"It's just sad my boss won't let me deal with you. But we can meet up sometime afterwards."
She said and felt Adriano twitch.
Smiling she slid her fake card towards him and left.

"Dad! Alessio is ruining my future! I didn't get a $500 million deal today because of him! First the school, then the throne now even business?!"
Adriano yelled throwing around things as his father tried calming him down.

He had felt the same 35 years ago, when his younger brother, Alessio's father was made the king.

"But we can't do anything. He's still family and he has power."

"Let's kill him. Once and for all."

Two days later

Samidha's chest heaved up and down and she hid behind the big containers.

"Who is there?"

She was doomed.

She was so very doomed.

She looked at the other end to find her partner, Colombo looking at her with the same expression.

They were gonna die.

They were in the warehouse of the Genovese. They had come to steal and destroy their weapons. But what they didn't know was that people were gonna come.
