Zayd POV

I woke up feeling exhausted from the lack of sleep I got last night. Before going to the club with Jaxxon, my father had told me he planned an arranged marriage between me and a girl I've never met named Valencia. A daughter of an Italian mafia leader. The one thing that intrigued me was that she died two months ago, after her disappearance. I was still angry at my father, I was definitely not planning to ask or speak to him at all.

Getting up from bed, I showered and brushed my teeth, then dressed into workout clothes. I head to the gym, meeting up with Jaxxon. Upon my arrival, I see Jaxxon in our usual spot waiting for me, crouched over his phone. He's usually warming up, but is actually on his phone texting with a grin on his face. As I walked up to him, he quickly got up and coughed.

"Hey!" he said with an awkward expression.

"Let's just start, you can text the girl later." I replied laughing.

He laughs and heads to a machine, while I was occupied with the punching bag letting all my rage out.

After two hours of training, we both finish up and leave.

"Yo Zayd, I'm hanging out with Victoria tonight, I want you to come and meet her if you're not too busy." Jaxxon asks excitedly.

He's been hurt and used by many girls, the complete opposite of myself. I don't want him to be used and hurt like his past relationship.

"Yeah man, I'll be there" I say smiling weakly.

"Thanks man." he says, as his face lights up and he enters his car and drives off.

Later that night, while getting ready to meet Jaxxon's "supposed new girl." I decide to wear a black shirt and ripped jeans, I brushed my hair and grabbed the keys to my black Ferrari. Arriving to Jaxxon's house, I noticed a silver tesla parked in the driveway.

"Is that her car?" I thought when strolling up to the door and opening with Jaxxon's spare keys.

"Well, on the bright side at least she's not using him for his money." I mumble walking through the door.

Strolling inside, I see Jaxxon with the girl on a couch, watching a movie. I cough, startling both and causing them to jump. Jaxxon glares at me, while I sit beside him as he introduces me.

"Victoria meet Zayd, Zayd meet Victoria" He awkwardly introduced.

"Morreti. Victoria Morreti." she says.

"Zayd Ferrari." I respond.

I tense, as I wonder where I've heard that familiar last name before.

"Do you have any siblings?" I ask. As that's the first thought that comes to my mind.

"Yes, I have one older sister but-" she looks down as her voice breaks.

Jaxxon shoots a glare at me and quickly comforts her, he may be buying her little show but I've seen enough fake cries to know that has got to be the worst one I've seen, and I've seen a lot.

Dabbing her eyes, she replies "My older sister Valencia died two months ago and we all have no idea where and what happened."

She just sniffs and fans her eyes, as I stare at her with an emotionless expression.

"Well, it was nice meeting you, but I need to go. I've got tons of work to finish." I lie, breaking the tension.

I didn't exactly lie, I do have work. I need to find out more about this family and what happened to her sister. Her sister's past interested me, as I wanted to find out what happened to her and how she died after running away. I was suspecting that Victoria could have something to do with her sudden death.

After arriving home, I stride straight to my office and search the "Moretti Family" on my computer. Something provoked me on finding who the sister was and her sudden death. Using the software for searching people which I use on a daily basis for mafia work, I search up the name "Victoria Moretti." Background information on her and her family appear, as I scroll down to see her sisters and parents names. Suddenly, the name "Valencia Moretti" pops up, as a sudden realization strikes me. My eyes widening, as I remember my conversation with my father.

*Flashback*

"Son. I have something important to tell you."

"Yeah dad, what's up?"

"Three months ago, I made a deal with another mafia leader to arrange you a marriage with his eldest daughter."

"Without my permission?" I shouted, as my eyes widened.

"It doesn't matter anymore, she's dead now. Her name was Valencia-" He reassures.

"And that's supposed to make it better?!" I yelled cutting in shooting my father a repulsive look.

"Son, it had to be done." He says.

Filled with rage, I picked up my chair and threw it against the wall making the wall slightly break through, I stormed away joining Jaxxon at the club.

*Flashback Over*

Clicking on her page, numerous pictures emerge of her as my first thought is "Wow she's pretty." Rolling my eyes, "Unlike her sister."

Spending hours sitting in the same spot, I was interested to find out more. Tracking the last place she was seen at was in Tokyo, Japan. Something provoked me to go there and find out more about her sudden death or if she was actually even dead.
