⋆Chapter ¹⋆
‹Italy - Miller Corporation›
The city of Milan, Italy looked peaceful under the morning sun.
The city of Milan, Italy looked peaceful under the morning sun.But inside the tallest glass building in the financial district, peace was the last thing that existed. morning sun.
| Miller Corporation Headquarters |
On the top floor, inside a massive office surrounded by glass walls, stood Anderson Miller.
One of the most powerful businessmen in Europe.
And one of the most feared names in the underworld.
To the public, he was a corporate genius.
To the shadows... he was a king.
Across the room, sitting at the long conference table, was Oliver, one of the board members of Miller Corporation.
Several project files were opened on the table.
Oliver
: adjusted his glasses and spoke carefully : "If we secure this port deal, Mr. Miller, the entire Mediterranean supply line will be under our control."
Anderson Miller stood near the window, staring at the skyline of Milan.
??
"Good," : he replied calmly : "Proceed."
Oliver
: nodded and flipped another page :
Oliver
"For the expansion, we'll need approval from the Marseille side as well-"
Oliver
: A small smile appeared on his face :
Oliver
"By the way...Mr. Miller..."
Oliver
: leaned back slightly :
Oliver
"I assume you already know..."
Oliver
: He paused for effect : "Your arch rival is coming to Italy today."
For a brief moment, silence filled the office.
Anderson Seville Miller
"Arch biggest rival...?" : he repeated quietly :
Anderson Seville Miller
: Walked toward the table :
Anderson Seville Miller
Are you talking about..."
Anderson Seville Miller
: A faint smirk appeared on his face :
Anderson Seville Miller
"Davidson Rodriguez."
Anderson Seville Miller
: placed his hands on the table and leaned forward slightly :
"You know something, Oliver."
His voice was calm. Almost pleasant.
Anderson Seville Miller
"I keep my friends close..." : paused :
Anderson Seville Miller
"But my special enemies..." : His eyes darkened : "I keep them even closer."
Oliver
: opened his mouth to respond :
The gunshot echoed through the office.Oliver's body froze.Then slowly collapsed onto the floor.Behind him stood one of Miller's men.Gun still raised.
Anderson Miller didn't even flinch.
He calmly walked toward Oliver's body.
Anderson Seville Miller
: Looking down at him, he spoke quietly : "You really thought..."
Anderson Seville Miller
: He crouched slightly :
Anderson Seville Miller
"That you could betray me..." : eyes darkened : "...and I wouldn't know?"
Oliver
: coughed weakly, blood spreading across the marble floor :
Anderson Seville Miller
: sighed :
Anderson Seville Miller
"How many years, Oliver?": He tilted his head :
Anderson Seville Miller
"One?"
Anderson Seville Miller
"Two?"
Anderson Seville Miller
"Three?"
Anderson Seville Miller
: Then he straightened his coat :
"I knew a long time ago."
Anderson Seville Miller
: He turned and began walking back toward the window :"I was just having fun playing and I even used you to get to your master."
Anderson Seville Miller
: He stopped near the glass wall overlooking the city :
Anderson Seville Miller
"Besides...": His tone turned colder :"You don't matter anymore."
Outside, Milan buzzed with life.
People walking.
Cars moving.
The city unaware of what had just happened above them.
Anderson Seville Miller
: looked at the skyline :
Because there was only one person on his mind now.
Anderson Seville Miller
"My real focus..." : He murmured : "...has always been him."
Anderson Seville Miller
: He smiled faintly :"Davidson Rodriguez."
Anderson Seville Miller
: A slow breath escaped him :
Anderson Seville Miller
"It's time." : His eyes darkened with anticipation :
Anderson Seville Miller
I think this game..."
"...is about to become far more interesting."
‹Private Jet - France to Italy›
Thousands of feet above the clouds, a black private jet cut through the sky.
Inside the aircraft, luxury and silence filled the cabin.
Seated near the window was a man whose name alone controlled entire territories.
Davidson Rodriguez.
The head of the Rodriguez family.
Businessman.
Crime lord.
And one of the few men powerful enough to stand against Anderson Miller.
Across from him sat his wife, elegant and composed, her presence radiating quiet authority.
She didn't speak much.
She didn't need to.
Power had its own language.
A few seats away sat Brianna and Brielle, speaking softly to each other.They occasionally glanced toward Davidson, aware of the tension in the air.
This wasn't just a flight.
It was a return.
The Rodriguez family was leaving France.
And moving back to Italy.
The jet suddenly shifted slightly as it climbed higher.
An air hostess approached carefully.She had served many wealthy passengers before.
But something about this cabin felt different.
Heavy.
Dangerous.
She stopped a few steps away.
Air hostess
"Sir...would you like anything?"
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: slowly lifted his gaze towards her :
Just one look.
That was enough
The air hostess immediately felt a chill run down her spine
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
"Nothing," he said calmly.
His voice was low.
Controlled.
But it carried the kind of authority that didn't allow questions.
Air hostess
: She quickly nodded and stepped away :
Across the cabin, Brianna leaned slightly toward Brielle and whispered something that made her smile.
Their laughter was soft.
But Davidson noticed it.
His gaze shifted toward them briefly.
Then back toward the window.
The clouds stretched endlessly outside.
Below them... Italy awaited.
And somewhere in that country...
A man named Anderson Miller was waiting.
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: eyes narrowed slightly :
Almost as if he could already sense it.
The reunion of two rivals.
Two empires.
Two kings of the underworld.
And this time...Neither of them intended to lose.
‹Private Jet - France to Italy›
The private jet cruised steadily above the clouds.Inside the luxurious cabin, the atmosphere was calm, almost warm-something that very few people in the world ever got to see from the feared head of the Rodriguez family.
Davidson Brock Rodriguez sat in his seat, his sharp eyes moving from one member of his family to another.
Across from him sat his wife, Jennifer Ross Rodriguez, composed and elegant as always.
A few seats away, Brianna Jade Rodriguez was explaining something excitedly while little Brielle Jasper Rodriguez listened with wide curious eyes.
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: watched them silently :
To the world he was ruthless.
Cold.
A man who ruled an empire people were terrified of.
But inside this jet... he was simply a husband and a father.
Brielle Jasper Rodriguez(FL Sister)
: suddenly climbed down from her seat and ran toward him :
Brielle Jasper Rodriguez(FL Sister)
"Papa!"
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: immediately leaned forward and caught her before she could trip : "Careful."
His tone was firm but protective.
Jennifer Ross Rodriguez(FL Mother)
: Smiled faintly : "You spoil her too much."
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: looked down at the little girl sitting comfortably in his lap : "She's four."
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
: chuckled softly : "Exactly. That's why she thinks she owns the whole world."
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: raised an eyebrow slightly :"She's a Rodriguez."
That made Jennifer laugh quietly.
For a few moments the cabin was filled with peaceful conversation.
Then Davidson's gaze slowly moved around the jet again.Something was missing.
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: He frowned slightly :
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
"Everything looks fine," : he said calmly :
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
"But...where is Brittany?"
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
: gulped :
Jennifer Ross Rodriguez(FL Mother)
"She's resting."
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: Looked at her : "Resting?"
Jennifer Ross Rodriguez(FL Mother)
"In the sleeping cabin," : she explained :
Jennifer Ross Rodriguez(FL Mother)
"She said she had a bit of a headache.Maybe from the flight....maybe jet lag."
Davidson's expression didn't change.His voice became colder, more indifferent.
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
"A headache?"
Jennifer Ross Rodriguez(FL Mother)
: Nodded : "She just went to lie down for a while."
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: stood up slowly : "Alright."
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
"Let me check on her."
Davidson had already started walking toward the private sleeping suite inside the jet.
His hand reached for the door.
And just as he was about to open it-
A voice paused him.
Italy - Somewhere in Milan
A black luxury car moved smoothly through the streets of Milan.
Inside the car, a phone started ringing.
Anderson Seville Miller
: sitting in the backseat glanced at the screen before answering : "Yes?"
Immediately an annoyed female voice spoke from the other side.
??
"This boy never listens to me!"
Anderson Seville Miller
: sighed : "What happened now?"
??
"Your son keeps disturbing me. He never stays in one place. He's always running here and there!"
Anderson Seville Miller
: He leaned back slightly in the seat. : "Where is he now Professor Ariella?"
Ariella Seville Miller
"I don't know," : she replied :"He disappeared again. And if I see him today-"
Suddenly another voice jumped in.
"Dad!" A girl's voice.
"Do you know what he did today?"
Anderson Seville Miller
: Chuckled faintly : "Oh really?"
"He keeps bothering everyone," she continued dramatically.
"Today he scared the gardener, yesterday he broke the window,and he keeps annoying me all the time!
Anderson Seville Miller
: Shook his head slightly : "You two never stop fighting."
"That's because he started it!" she protested.
From the background, the woman took the phone again.
Ariella Seville Miller
"Don't encourage them. Just come home quickly."
Anderson Seville Miller
: Glanced outside the car window :"I'm already on my way."
Ariella Seville Miller
: Her tone softened slightly : "Good. Come soon."
Ariella Seville Miller
Then she added casually "By the way... there's a new family moving into the mansion next to ours."
Anderson Seville Miller
: Raised an eyebrow slightly :"Next door?"
Ariella Seville Miller
"Yes"
Ariella Seville Miller
"The moving trucks had already arrived yesterday. I don't know which family it is yet... but we'll probably meet them soon."
For a moment, the man didn't speak.
A faint smile slowly appeared on his face.
Because deep down...He already guessed it.
And strangely enough-He had been waiting for it.
Anderson Seville Miller
"I see," : he said quietly :
Ariella Seville Miller
"Anyway, come home soon."
Anderson Seville Miller
"I will," : he replied softly : "Take care of yourself."
"I'll be there soon."
Anderson Seville Miller
: He ended the call :
For a moment he sat there in silence.
Then he leaned forward slightly.
Anderson Seville Miller
"Change route."
The chauffeur nodded immediately."Yes, sir."
The car turned toward a different road.
Anderson Seville Miller
"Let's go to the manor."
Outside, Milan continued its normal life.
But two powerful families were about to cross paths again.
And this time...The game between them was just beginning.
⋆Chapter ²⋆
|Private Jet — Sleeping Suite Corridor|
The corridor leading to the private sleeping cabin of the jet was quiet.
Davidson Brock Rodriguez walked toward the door with steady steps. His expression was calm but focused.
Just as he reached for the handle—"Dad"
A voice stopped him.
He turned slightly.
Brianna Jade Rodriguez was standing a few steps away.
Her arms were crossed, and she looked slightly annoyed.
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
"she's sleeping" : said quickly : "don't disturb her"
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: looked at the closed door :
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
"I’m just checking."
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
"She had a headache" : insisted : "if you wake her now she'll get even more irritated"
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: remained calm :
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
“Yes, but let me check. Maybe she needs something.”
Brianna’s expression suddenly changed.
Her insecurity surfaced instantly.
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
“Do you only care about her?” : snapped :
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: frowned slightly :
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
“That’s not what this is.”
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
: shook her head :
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
“You always do this,” : muttered : “You only care about how she’s doing.”
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: tone remained controlled : "Brianna"
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
"fine" : said in a sarcastic tone : "go ahead and check on her"
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
"If you won't check her maybe something will happen to her"
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
: stepped forward and knocked on the door :
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
“Brittany?”
There was a moment of silence.
Then a voice came from inside the cabin.
“Mom…?”
The voice sounded weak.
“Mom, are you there?”
“I have a headache… it’s getting worse. Please let me sleep.”
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
: glanced at davidson :
Inside the cabin the voice continued.
“Please… let me sleep until we land.”
“My headache is becoming worse. Maybe I’ll feel better after resting.”
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: stood quietly while listening :
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: expression softened : "let her rest"
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
: turned away immediately and started walking away from there :
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: leave behind her :
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
: tears had already started forming in her eyes :
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
"see" : she muttered bitterly :
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
"she's your favourite child,right?"
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: sighed : "it's not like that"
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
"I am not even your child anymore." : said angrily :
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: following her : "Brianna stop!"
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
: didn't stop :
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
"listen to me" : said firmly :
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
"If your sister needed something I had to atleast check on her"
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: soften his voice : "it doesn't mean I don't love you"
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
: wiped her tears angrily :
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
"you know I care about you"
While they walked further down the corridor—
Behind them…
From inside the sleeping cabin…
The voice continued again.Exactly the same words.
“Mom…are you there?”
“My headache is getting worse…”
“Please let me sleep until we land…”
“Maybe I’ll feel better…”
The sentences repeated again.
And again.
Almost the same tone.The same pauses.Like a robotic monologue playing in a loop.
But neither Davidson nor Brianna noticed.They had already turned the corner.
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
: wiped her last of the tears :
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
"I am going to get some coffee" : said coldly :
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: nodded : "alright"
She walked toward the small lounge area of the jet.
Once she was alone…
Her expression changed completely.
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
: took out her phone and quickly dialed a number :
The call connected.
Brianna spoke quietly.
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
"you can stop the recording now"
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
: paused : "yes"
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
"that's enough for now....no he didn't doubt anything"
Brianna Jade Rodriguez(FL Sister)
: ended the call immediately :
Her face returned to its usual calm expression.
And she walked back toward the cabin.
Night had already fallen over Paris.
The streets glowed under rows of yellow streetlights, rain from earlier still shining on the pavement.
A motorbike cut through the quiet streets, its engine humming low.
The rider moved fast, weaving smoothly between the late-night traffic.
From a distance it was impossible to tell who the rider was.
Just a shadow.
Just a person.
The rider wore a black helmet, but long blonde hair streamed out from underneath it, flowing wildly in the cold Paris wind.
For a moment the bike slowed.
Then it turned sharply into a narrow side street.
Finally—
The bike stopped.
The rider parked it near the sidewalk and swung one leg off the machine.
A hand reached up.
The helmet came off.
Instantly, long blonde hair spilled out, falling freely down the rider’s back.
The person shook their head slightly, letting the hair settle before adjusting it with one hand.
The streetlight revealed a glimpse of bright emerald-blue eyes behind a dark mask that covered most of the face.The rider left the helmet resting on the bike.
She walked straight wearing a pink leather jacket with blue pants pairing with stockings.
And pink matched heels clicking lightly against the pavement.
Without hesitation, the masked figure walked toward a building across the street.
Neon lights flickered above the entrance.
The sign outside read:
“Breath Roll.”
The music could already be heard from outside.
Loud bass.
Laughter.
Glasses clinking.
The place was crowded
Inside, the atmosphere was thick with smoke and flashing lights.
Men sat around tables drinking.
Some people were laughing loudly.
On a small stage, bar dancers and performers moved under colorful lights while a singer performed in the background.
The entire place had the chaotic energy of a late-night club where almost anything could happen.
The masked figure stepped inside.
No one paid much attention.
Just another customer.
The heels clicked across the floor as the figure walked toward the bar.
A waiter was standing there, busy serving drinks.
Without saying anything, the figure pulled out some cash.
Then slapped the money onto the counter in front of him.
The sharp sound made the waiter look up.
His eyes moved from the money…
Up to the masked face.
Only those piercing blue eyes were visible.
Cold.
Sharp.
Watching him.
The figure tilted their head slightly.
Then raised one eyebrow slowly.
As if silently asking—
“Well?”
The waiter stared for a moment.
Then the figure leaned forward slightly and spoke in a low whisper.
??
“Where can I find him?”
??
: raised her eyebrow : The look clearly said—
Are you not going to tell me?
The waiter quickly grabbed the money.
Then he reached under the counter and slid a room card across the surface.
The number on it read:
203
He leaned closer and spoke quietly.
“Go straight.”
“Then take the left corridor.”
??
: simply looked at the card :
A slow, almost silent nod.
Without another word, the masked figure turned and began walking toward the direction the waiter had pointed.
The pink heels echoed softly against the floor.
Room 203.
And whoever Walter was…
They were about to get a visitor.
The doors of the private jet slowly opened.
Warm Italian air flowed inside as the powerful Rodriguez family finally arrived.
One by one, they stepped down the aircraft stairs.
Security teams immediately surrounded the area, forming a protective perimeter.
Several luxury vehicles waited nearby — sleek black SUVs and a polished Rolls-Royce Phantom parked at the front.
Davidson Rodriguez stepped onto Italian soil first.
His expression was calm, but his eyes were cold and calculating as he scanned the entire area.
Behind him came the rest of the family.
Jennifer Rodriguez, elegant and composed as always, stepped down next.
Then followed Brianna Rodriguez and Brielle Rodriguez, with security guards guiding them forward.
Just as Davidson was about to turn around to confirm everyone had exited the plane—
A familiar figure approached quickly.
Butler Grey.
Butler Grey(FL Father Butler/Secretary)
: bowed respectfully : "Welcome to Italy, sir. Everything has been arranged. The residence is ready, and several business matters require your attention."
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: nodded slightly :
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
“You’re right,” : he said calmly : “But first I want to make sure my family is safely in the cars.”
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: gaze turned sharper : “And security”
Butler Grey(FL Father Butler/Secretary)
: answered immediately : “fully arranged sir”
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: said sharply : “As I told you… my rivals must already know I’m here.”
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: said after a brief pause : “my biggest rival is in this country”
The surrounding guards stiffened.
Davidson continued quietly, but his words were heavy with threat.
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
“so make sure there are no mistakes”
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
“not even one.If something goes wrong....” : gaze slowly passed through the security team : “I won't spare anyone”
The tension in the air became thick.
Several guards visibly straightened in fear
Brielle Jasper Rodriguez(FL Sister)
: Flinched slightly at the cold tone :
Brielle Jasper Rodriguez(FL Sister)
: Instinctively moved closer to Brianna : :holding onto the edge of her sister’s dress :
Jennifer Ross Rodriguez(FL Mother)
: Noticed this and gently placed a reassuring hand on Brielle’s shoulder :
Jennifer Ross Rodriguez(FL Mother)
“It's alright” : said softly :
Butler Grey(FL Father Butler/Secretary)
“Don’t worry, sir. I will personally escort Madam Jennifer to the mansion.”
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: looked at him :
Butler Grey(FL Father Butler/Secretary)
“My son will take the three young ladies — Miss Brianna Rodriguez, Miss Brielle Rodriguez, and Miss Brittany Rodriguez.”
Butler Grey(FL Father Butler/Secretary)
“They grew up around each other. They know one another well.I trust him completely… and my training.”
Just then a young man approached the group.
Tall. Calm. Professional.
Luca.
Grey’s son.
Luca Grey(FL BFF)
“Good evening, Mr. Rodriguez.” : greeted him respectfully :
Davidson studied him for a moment.
Then gave a small nod.
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
“Take care of them.”
Luca Grey(FL BFF)
“I will, sir.”
Meanwhile Brianna quickly guided Brielle toward one of the waiting black SUVs.
Jennifer walked toward the Rolls-Royce that was waiting for her and Davidson.
But just before entering the car, Davidson suddenly stopped.
His eyes scanned the area again.
Something was missing.
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
“Where’s Brittany?”
Jennifer Ross Rodriguez(FL Mother)
: glanced around as well, slightly confused :
Jennifer Ross Rodriguez(FL Mother)
“I thought she was with the girls”
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: going towards the SUV car for the girls :
Butler Grey(FL Father Butler/Secretary)
“Ahh..actually sir the eldest miss already left earlier, she said she wasn’t feeling well after the flight.”
Butler Grey(FL Father Butler/Secretary)
“She insisted on going straight to the mansion to rest and change.”
Jennifer Ross Rodriguez(FL Mother)
“B-but Brittany didn’t say anything to me…”
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: raised his brow with a glare :
Butler Grey(FL Father Butler/Secretary)
“And sir…you also have the underworld business meeting tonight..It’s extremely important.It cannot be postponed...I-If it’s delayed, it may cause serious complications”
Butler Grey(FL Father Butler/Secretary)
“I’ll personally escort Madam Jennifer.My son will safely drive the young ladies to the mansion.You should go directly to your meeting.”
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
“....”
Davidson stayed silent.
Thinking.
His instincts clearly told him something felt slightly off.
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
“Fine.”
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
: tone suddenly became strict again :
Davidson Brock Rodriguez(FL Father)
“But make sure nothing goes wrong.My entire family must be exactly where we planned.Nothing changes.”
Butler Grey(FL Father Butler/Secretary)
: bowed :“Understood, Mr. Rodriguez,as we planned out security team will follow the mistress and Ms. Rodriguez cars.”
Davidson then entered the Rolls-Royce beside Jennifer's.
The engine started smoothly.
Meanwhile, the black SUV carrying Brianna Rodriguez, Brielle Rodriguez, and Luca slowly pulled away from the airport.
The Rodriguez convoy split into different directions.
One toward the city’s dark business world.
The other toward the Rodriguez mansion.
And somewhere else entirely—
Brittany Rodriguez was still missing.
