"This will be a great honour for us having your special presence there, Mr Angelo. I reckon that it will be beneficial to both parties." Miss Ricci mused with a smile.

Viso stared at her half-bare legs, which were adorned by the black skirt up to her calves and his eyes followed upwards to the peach-coloured Top. He scorned internally. Although the lady was in her mid 40's but seeing the charming man staring at her form, in front of her, she blushed. She cleared her throat.

Viso inclined his head while sitting on his chair. Miss Ricci tried her best to convince him as she knew that she can't lose this opportunity to meet him. Everyone knows he is the only CEO in the country whom you can't find in his office every day. He rarely visits his own company. Nobody knows what he does in his personal and professional life and how he manages his business and empire without public disclosure.

"What's the use of visiting there, Miss Ricci? Elaborate me clearly?" Viso asked her, leaning back on his chair. His deep husky voice unsettled her.

Ms Ricci cleared her throat and started elaborating on the event.
"...all versions of clothing with beach styles, tunic in winter flavours and most importantly our best selling swimwears since the last five years plus retro styles are going to ramp walk at Sardina, with our prominent models." She stated proudly.

Viso blinked at her and kept his silence. He looked at Titus and nodded.
"I will be available for an hour only, Miss Ricci. If you manage to impress me, I will be in." He shrugged and side-smirked.

Ms Ricci licked her lips and beamed.
"You won't be disappointed, Mr Angelo. My huge gratitude for your precious time. I will take your leave, then." She said, Viso nodded. She stood up and shook hands with him.

After she walled out, Titus told him about the delivery and unloading of the goods, more like illegal goods which will be consigned through the ship by Russians this evening. Viso asked him to scrutinize the area thoroughly, at where they will receive the delivery.

He met another politician personality who told him about the potential changes in the laws and legislative procedures. Obviously, He has connections with the different governmental parties. Some of them worked for him. He knew when and how to strike someone.

"Capo, Ryker informed me about the targets of Moretti. They are trying to take the franchise from Russians to provide for the underworld's parties. They are looking forward to creating the monopoly of exclusive weapons in the underworld. They are in regular touch with the Russian mafia for a week." Titus told Viso about the sources which were provided by Ryker, his personal investigator who is expert in getting confidential information from anywhere within hours.

Viso twitched his lips. He arched his perfect brow at Titus and smirked.
"And they will fuck around with My Dock." He mused.

"Be ready, we are going to catch them alive. I want my goods safely unloaded. And arrange my meeting with the Russians. I will personally talk to them." Viso instructed Titus who nodded and left.

Viso left for his house to freshen up. With various thoughts wandering in his mind, He was going to play his favourite game. Many parties were messing with him after He took over the reign of the empire and "Le Aquile".

He knew he had to stand straight to overcome the challenges because people knew Bonkers but not Viso D'Angelo who is more lethal than a poison.

His phone pinged.
'Capo, the doubt is clear. We got the lead. Your presence is needed.' Viso grinned. He ordered Titus to reach there before time and guard the port area.

After sunset, they reached the place where the ship was yet to arrive. They hid at the private point to lay hold of those so-called burglars. After getting the message of the timing of the arrival of the Ship, Viso slid into his car and pulled out his cigar. He lightened the tip and started puffing.

The dusk was falling with the cold breeze dancing around. He rolled the car window down and smoked leisurely while looking at the view outside. His gaze fell on the shadow figure walking along the edge where the ocean meets the sand. It was a girl. Ever so slowly, He squinted his eyes. She was walking freely and playing with the sand with her foot.

Viso kept looking at her. The only thing He could grasp was the shine on her bracelet in the dim light of the dark evening. It was shining like a small bulb. He was absorbed in her little funny and childish movements when his phone rang. He picked it up while keeping his stare at the mysterious figure.

"Capo, we have got them." Titus said from the other side, making Viso grin. A wave of excitement rushed through his body. He spotted the girl going back to the place from where she came, probably. He averted his gaze and disposed of his cigar. Getting out of the car, He walked towards his private point where no single soul was present except his men.

He checked up on his goods and sent the ship back after giving a message. He looked around the burglars on the floor unconscious with an injured body. He shook his head.

"Did they say something?" Viso asked Titus who shook his head. He gestured a dead man on the sand and said,
"This one was about to open his mouth when this swine shot him on the spot to make him shut." He gestured to another man who was thrashing in the arms of Viso's men.

That man shot his own man, preventing him from disclosing confidential information to them. Viso smiled at him.

"You think, I wouldn't know who sent you to seize or violate my delivery." Viso said while walking to him. That man was going to shoot himself on being caught but they didn't let him.

Viso was rewarded with his silence. He looked at the other man who was alive but injured.
"Did he bark?" Viso asked Titus who shook his head in no.

Viso hummed. He pulled out his 'baby' and pointed at him.
"It won't terrify you, I know." He grinned while looking at the man who kept silent.

"But I have other distinct ways to play with you." Viso said to him and turned to another man who was injured but alive and witnessing everything with open eyes. Viso went near to him and asked, whispering, "Wanna disclose something?"

That man turned pale seeing his death in front of him. Viso twitched his lips in a boring way and shot him on his legs. The man screamed hard with the pain.
"I.. Don't kill me, please." That man breathed out, whimpering.

Viso moaned in disappointment at his cowardice.
"I don't like his voice." He said, looking at his men. They knew what their boss was thinking.

"Time to go... buddy." Viso said with a sad tone and pointed the gun on his head. Before He could pull the trigger, a luminous object interrupted his sight, making him close his eyes abruptly. Irritatingly, He  raised his eyes looking at the source of this disturbance.

There stood a girl under the moonlight which was reflecting her features. Her big doe-like eyes were wide open and a hand with the luminous bracelet on her mouth were proof that she had witnessed this dreadful scene certainly.

Ah! He forgot about that shadow girl. But hadn't she left already?

Viso could feel her shallow breathing in the pin-drop silence around the beach. She stood there with the numb body and unblinking form. He reckoned that she was in shock.

He inclined his head and ever so slowly his lips curved upward into a smirk. Another victim to play!

The terror was evident in her brown eyes.
She was clutching her long skirt tightly with her left hand. Viso blinked and his smirk broadened into a grin. A devilish look of him could make anyone pee in their pants but his face was concealed from the eyes of that girl due to the dark. She couldn't see their faces clearly but she knew what they were doing and who they must be. Their figures were under the shadow.

Viso was about to open his mouth to say something when she withdrew her hand from her mouth and gasped. Her little movement chilled up Viso's skin everywhere. It took everything for him not to wave. His mouth opened with her little gasp. The very first thing He noticed about her was her full lips. The thickness of her plump lips took his breath away on the spot.

Bellissima!

The world invaded his destructive mind. Indeed she was a beautiful woman who was standing there under the moonlight like an Angel.

Her eyes glistened with fear and she licked her lips after swallowing which made Viso pull the trigger in haste. She flinched back visibly. He was staring intensely at her, drinking her beauty with his sinful eyes and his grip on his gun tightened while shooting continuously.

His men stood around amazed when they saw their boss was shooting aimlessly on the sand behind the victim who had his eyes closed in utter terror.

But nobody disturbed him because they knew the outcomes. When the gun went empty, Titus came forward.

"Capo, should I?" He asked, glancing at the girl. He knew his boss probably would ask him to grab her as she had seen the violent killing.

Viso with twinkled eyes, watched the girl recede slowly and without waiting a second she turned and ran away. Her brown hair was flying around just like her skirt with the trickiness of the cold breeze but she didn't care. He could only stare at her retreating back. But the words left by his mouth thrilled his entire existence.

"Cherry lips"
