Marco's POV:

Lucas and I left before Amara's meeting to meet my mafia men who work for me in Dubai. "You should have attended the meeting with Amara..." Lucas commented getting inside the car. I raised an eyebrow, "I don't have any work there and I'm going to meet Bella later then why should I attend?" he slapped his forehead and sighed "Maya would have been their dummy... she's the owner of the Turkish Hotel of La Petalo that makes her eligible to attend the meeting dumb-ass!". I have some issues with me how can I lose this opportunity?

"Lucas I didn't think I would ever admit this but...... you're the stupidest, brainless, idiotic, moronic kind of a genius" Lucas gave me a disgusting face then put a hand on his heart "It will explode with that much of compliments...." Rolling his eyes, he sits back straight on the car seat scrolling through his phone. Why do they scroll so much on their phones?

Entering the darkroom where I do my business smoke of cigars and cigarettes filled my nose. Mafia men bowed their heads and welcomed me "King... Welcome King..." Zahid is my loyal man who handles my business in Dubai. Nodding my head, I sit back on the leather chair opening my suit buttons, Zahid arranged drinks and cigars for us. Lucas asked for documents and did verification and other stuff.

"We just got last month's revenue by Elias...." Zahid assured me that everything was under control. Raising my brows, I asked "Elias?" he nodded Lucas looked at me then at Zahid. "But we didn't send any this month because we didn't ask for weapons". Elias left the mafia six months ago but we found his pictures working with black serpents. He was a specialist with weapons and loyal to us but suddenly he left everything. We tried to find out about him but like other serpents, we come up with nothing after many missions and operations.

"King... I apologize but that's not possible two months ago we got a message to supply arsenal. Then Elias came to collect them and paid half revenue and the other half today." Zahid confirmed passing the bond signed by Elias today. "Lucas find that fucker he wouldn't have left Dubai..." I ordered him and turned to Zahid. "Elias doesn't work for us anymore if you find him near you contact Lucas... How couldn't you know about it?" questioning him I looked at Lucas entering after the call.

"What kind of weapons does he take? Which kind?" Lucas asked. "Sniper rifle, shotgun, machine guns and many different kinds of knives......" he listed. These were only weapons for small fights, not some wars but still many. "How you didn't know about him when we mentioned it in the last meeting?" Lucas demanded Zahid lowered his head. "Sir... I wasn't present because my wife had a labor and... I revived the list but there were a lot and Elias... was the most loyal man of yours... I had no idea that he would leave....".

Lucas has started searching about Elias but to whom will he give weapons because he paid a large amount before which means he won't sell them. Looking at other documents reviewing the list of people who used to collect and order weapons for me there were mafia men and female assassins. A picture caught my eyes beautiful dark sapphire eyes lovely curls she sticks her tongue out in the picture like it wasn't a formal document but some selfie.

Maya signed her name as boss bitch, the date was mentioned when Bella was kidnapped. She prepared everything without bothering me then got there alone I won't forget to mention drugging me. Two fucking years have passed without her I have found many photos of her but this one was an old record. When she was going to be my third mom and my second in command, remembering them all feels amusing.

A smile appeared on my face while tracing her photograph. It all feels like a beautiful dream, I planned that we are in the same country then for sure I will see her from a distance and then leave. How does she look now? She would have become more thick and chubby because of her foodie nature. Whenever I have ice-creams or spaghetti at midnight, I miss her company because she gave me that habit. I miss everything about her.

"We should leave now... Loverboy..." Lucas teased and winked at me. Shaking my head, I closed the file taking a last glance at the picture. Walking out of the place I asked Lucas "Does Maya has any contacts with my mafia men? because they used to work together and Elias was not only loyal to me but also Maya... she mentioned his loyalty to me maybe once.." he shrugged his shoulders carelessly.

"After Aiden, I have stopped searching about Maya because we will only get to know what she wants us to know. It's rare that so many people follow her orders and are loyal to her, females don't have much respect in the mafia. Most of them are treated as sex objects but Maya... once in a blue moon angel..." Lucas grinned explaining. But one thing is true she's an angel.

My phone buzzed I looked at the Id 'AMARA' her name is like a bullet in my butt hole. Picking her call she screamed at top of her lungs "MARCO... MARCO SAVE ME... PLEASE...." Sitting straight I asked her "What happened Amara? Where are you?" she cried on the call and uttered "Marco... she... she... Maya... she sent me to prison... I'm in custody.... Please take me out from here...".

Lucas turns the car and called some lawyers for acquisition and the name swirled in my mind 'MAYA'. We have to work on a legal basis because Amara is a socialite and some shady mafia thing can ruin her career. Dubai has the strictest law in the world and Amara choose the wrong country to be locked up. Lucas cannot work openly because he's the most wanted criminal... I have maintained my social position for now but not much in Dubai.

We have applied for bail after searching for a bondsman to explain the situation. But the factors under which Amara was arrested have factors that she would be in custody till the first hearing. Only if the opposition takes back the case, she would be released hand in hand. What has Amara done that made Maya ruin her career and get her arrested by the police?

"Where is she?" I demanded Lucas he turned the car to 'La Petalo'. Danielle took the meeting instead of her after threatening many employees. But Bella accepted the meeting as I heard from the receptionist "T-en-th-the-f-l....." she shuddered in fear. "Lady. I don't know aliens' language so better speak in human language," Lucas asked her she sucked a breath and uttered, "One Hundred Tenth floor is the office of Managing Director....".

Walking inside the elevator I looked at the guards ready to shoot. I should have brought some of my guards with me.... but Maya won't kill me. She surely hates me but won't kill me are you sure? Yeah... But what if she does? Lost in thoughts the elevator opened inside an alley with a receptionist on the left near the door. She took a card and opened the door for us bowed her head and left. Lucas examined her body not to mention her butt.

Bella walked to us wearing business formals, she looked mature and professional. "Don't try to do anything here. It's not your mafia or doesn't ask me to save your asses, especially you Lucas. Behave..." she pointed at him glaring at him. "Where is Maya?" I demanded her. She looked at me "Maya doesn't meet everyone you have an appointment to meet Danielle because your wifey is being arrested so stay at those limits..." her tone was professional but not words.

Opening a door, we entered Danielle's office he was sitting on a maroon leather chair. His spine froze but he maintained her professionalism "Please have a seat...". Without wasting any time, I pulled my gun out and targeted him. Bella called the security but Danielle stopped her and turned to me "Have a seat we can talk..." he was acting cool.

"Take the case back and release Amara immediately... I don't care whatsoever, she has done but she's my fiancée which means she's related to me. Else you know better..." sitting in front of him I put the gun on the desk. He has become habitual with weapons, that's strange.

"Your presence was expected so I wasn't in a great surprise but Amara. She is getting what she asked for, we have denied selling the hotel chain but she continued putting pressure on us. And you know she doesn't have a good character history...." Danielle sits back comfortably. "I don't need her character certificate... take the case back..." I glared at him. Raising an eyebrow, he asked "What if I don't?" pushing my limits. I pulled the gun back.

Guards entered the office with guns but no one shot any one of us, two bodyguards entered his office opening the door. The voice of clinking heels made me turn "Killing him won't help" the goddess came in sight wearing her signature color black, hair tied in a high ponytail with a flat clutch bag. She has become mature and sexier with her curvy body hugging her dress. 

Maya walked inside with a guard towards Danielle, he stood up offering her the chair. She sat elegantly resting her back, crossing her sexy legs and our eyes met I was drooling looking at her. Maya has become mature and way more beautiful, Lucas's mouth fell open hitting the ground. Maya gestured to the guards "Check and clean weapons" they took our weapons and checked for others. "Lucas the shotgun from your shoe sole..." she mentioned and smirked.

Crossing her arms, she asked, "Be quick I have better things to do what do you want to know?" Lucas cleared his throat "Objecting my lord but you look damn hot hotter than I expected like chartbuster hotter and..." I gave him a look. Maya smiled and answered, "Thank you...." She looked at me I admired her beauty but her eyes didn't have the slightest affection which brings me back to reality I turned serious and ordered her "Clear Amara's case it will ruin her career and it will affect my reputation as well..."

Maya laughed once "What made you think that I care?" her expression turned dark. "Ms. Bella would you please explain to Mr. Enzo why Amara DeVore has been arrested..." Bella walked and stood next to her and explained "Amara DeVore has been arrested because she was counterfeiting luxury brands for a long time. She has taken Christian's shares through forgery to become one of the board directors of this hotel. The brands have filed the complaint against her, Maya just asked for an inquiry team to look under the forgery case and has no remorse for it. She doesn't even have any hand in it, she just informed the brands about her appearance in Dubai rest were done by the separated brands. " she paused and looked at Maya she nodded. ".... You were also involved in forgery as some shares were bought under you but she didn't mention your name that's her generosity..."

Maya was clearly involved in the case either she threatened the brands to make up false allegations or provided them the evidence to work as she wants. "Wait then who's the owner of this hotel chain?" Lucas asked frowning. But now I have a clear idea who is it I looked at Maya she was looking at me only. "You're sitting in front of her" Bella announced a smile appeared on Maya's face but her eyes never left mine. She thinks I have betrayed her and thrown her away from my life but that's not the complete truth. 

"DAMN GURL....... YOU'RE A.M.A.Z.I.N.G" Lucas squealed and cheered. Maya wasn't wrong he has a bitch inside him "Lucas...." Maya gestured for him to sit down. "Anything else...." She asked. I stayed silent looking at her she smiled and stood up from her chair. "Apply for a bail... in Dubai, it takes 10 hours to accept it because here the government is very strict with these kinds of illegal stuff you may know well... then she could be released and after first hearing maybe you can leave the country" Bella explained and gave Maya a file and turned to leave.

"Can I talk to you in private?" I asked Maya turned and looked at me. "No... I have better plans you should leave nothing is left here to talk about...." With that, she walked out of the office and left. I stood there seeing her leave I never wanted to hurt her but fuck I did.

Danielle passed Lucas a card he accepted it and looked at me "Marco... let's go..." I walked inside the elevator lost in my world. Everything hurts, her eyes witness the pain she has held inside her it is visible. "Marco... Marco... MARCO..." Lucas yelled at me. Knitting my brows I glared at him, he sighed "Look I don't want to sleep on the streets so book some hotel because we are thrown out from the hotel..." least expected.

"Where is Maya staying in Dubai?" I asked Lucas, he gave me a look "She has a flat in Dubai as far as I'm concerned....". Hopping inside the car I winked "Let's go there then..." he shrugged and asked, "What are you trying to do? She's out on a dinner she won't be there and we will be kicked out by the guards..."

"Dumb-ass her mother isn't in Turkey that means she's in Dubai and why won't she let her favorite son stay there..." I smirked at my wicked plan. "And what about Amara?" he asked. "Let her stay in lock-up for tonight...." Lucas let out a laugh "You're such a flipper...".
