54.
Regina's POV
"Engineer, I told you. Didn't I?" I sighed for the umpteenth time. Russo simply shrugged and walked closer to me.
"There's always a way out, Mama." He chuckled, placing a soft kiss on my lips as he grabbed my thighs.
"Now that Alessandro and I are no more together, it can't be easy to pull him down." I frowned, placing my hands on his shoulders. "I need the gold hive ASAP and I don't think I can wait any longer. It's frustrating!"
"Thankfully, you of all people know that it's hard to get the code to the gold hive but I've gotten it all under control." He reassured me but seriously I was tired of all these shitty hell of prolonging promises that takes time to come to fulfilment.
"Nobody gets the code but you, sunshine. It's all under control. I'm working on it. But I want you to think …" he paused, brushing some locks of my hair away.
"How do you think you could get Alessandro even while you're away? Do you think you're stoppable, sunshine?" He raised a brow as he circled his thumb around the outline of my nipples.
Reeling from the fucking pleasure Russo's thumb was causing me, my brain clicked immediately.
I should be able to ruin Alessandro DeMarco even while we're no more a thing.
From the look of things, it would be more easier. I just have to pull some strings.
"Yeah! Engineer that would be much easier. I just have to plant some spies in his property." I said, my brows widened in excitement from the new discovery. It wasn't that I had never thought of this but I have always thought it was unnecessary and could do things in my own.
"They'd report every of his moves to me and I'll make sure to plant some surveillance cams in his property too. What do you think about that?" I traced my thumb on his jaw, waiting for him to comment on my suggestions.
He shrugged. "Anything you think is right, sunshine. But all I want is results. Nice results. Once Alessandro is down, you get the code. I'll cross the sea and ocean just to make everything possible, sunshine."
There was possibility in Russo's eyes and I needed more doubts to his words. I knew he's got my back on this.
"How about we continue this conversation on my bed, sunshine?"
He pulled me up, carrying me bridal style into his room. Moans erupted the hallway as he worked his fingers in me.

"What do you think about this guy, Gina?" Tiana asked, swiping through the photos on her phone.
"This dating site is outdated, Tiana." I switched off her phone and placed it on the table. "You need more updates concerning dazzling men that would make you trip at just a glance!"
"What do you mean?" Tiana frowned. "I've always dated men from this app and they're fucking handsome and good in bed. Trust me this guy is the most handsome man on planet earth. I swear." She squealed, facepalming herself.
"Really?" I raised a brow, looking at her my expression full of scrutiny. "This is the 21st century, babe. These men only work on you when you apply some lubricants. You should search for men who would make you wet even just at the sight of them."
"To penetrate easily?"
"Exactly!" I remarked. "Lubricants would be useless and you wouldn't have to complain about the pussy aches you get due to much unnecessary lubricants."
"You're talking about got guys like Sandro? Your boyfriend." Tiana teased, judging me by my side. I hissed and rolled my eyes at her.
I haven't told her about our breakup yet so she still has to spout this nonsense.
"You've never been annoyed when I talk about him, what's up? Did you guys have a misunderstanding again?"
"We broke up, Ana." I simply said, sipping from my glass. "and please don't ask me about it."
"Why?! Why did you...fuck! You were the best couples on campus! What changed? Did he break up with you or you did? Don't tell me you did, no, no. Don't say it!" Tiana asked curiously. I really wanted to burst her bubbles with the stunning surprise and when I revealed it, she screamed.
I quickly covered her mouth with my palm just to stop her from drawing unnecessary attention to us.
People were turning their necks already.
"Yes, I broke up with him. So what?" I scoffed, "I don't care if out damn relationship had been all rosy. I don't fucking care, all I want is just my peace of mind. Even though it's underrated, I just fucking need it. Sandro is giving me problems and the best thing to do as a wise mafia heirness was to leave him." I explained, keeping the fact that Alessandro actually caught me in the webs and got to know about my relationship with Russo.
"That's fucking bad, Alessandro is lovely. So lovely!"
I clicked my tongue, picking up my bag.
"If you want him then go for him then." I rolled my eyes at her and tried walking out of the restaurant but someone grabbed my hand from behind.
Tiana was behind me now, her eyes widened in shock. I was ael, pbout asking why she had that expression on until I saw the guy in front of me.
"Alessandro?" I gasped and before I could ask him any questions, he dragged me to a corner.
I snatched my hand away from him and he grabbed my neck forcefully.
"What the hell do you think you're doing, Regina? Uh?" He yelled. "do you think this is funny?"
I chuckled, spitting on his face. His grip around my neck loosened a bit and he wiped his face with his sleeve.
"Well, from the angry look on your face. I guess you're still annoyed that I ended out relationship, ai?"
"In your dreams, bitch." He spat, grabbing my wrist and slamming my back on the door.
Wait, how did he know I was here? Has he been stalking me?
"What are your Russo's men doing on my site?" He blurted, his chest heaving up and down in anger.
I shrugged, scoffing. "How am I supposed to know about that? If your site got raised then that's obviously your fucking business and not mine!
I do not control Russo's men and neither do they follow my command. If you need answers to the puzzles then go to Russo himself!"
Alessandro's vexed orbs never left my face for a second. I was affected by his harsh look but I maintained my self-confidence and locked eyes with him.
What game could Russo be playing though? Why was he so fixated on Alessandro if the task on bringing him down was still on me?
"Is everything okay?" Tiana rushed in, her brows widened in disbelief as she witnessed the heated moment.
