ASH'S POV-

The next morning, I woke up from the sunlight hitting my eyes. It was about 10 in the morning. I slept the moment I came into my room as I was exhausted.

After the five hour nap, I took a shower and got into an all black outfit. It was a plain black T-shirt along with black pants and leather jacket. I got all my weapons and headed downstairs to get some food and head out.

I entered the kitchen and saw Jeremy sitting at the counter, typing away on his phone. Well atleast I won't have to answer any questions from last night.

I grabbed a toast along with some coffee and sat down. All this while, he was staring at me without actually saying anything, and it was getting quite irritating.

I looked up towards him and snapped "What?"

He looked at me dumbfounded and shrugged "what?"

"Why are you looking at me like you asked me something when you didn't?".

He looked at me with narrowed eyes as if thinking about whether he should say it or not.

"Where did you learn how to drive that?" he asked while pointing towards the keys to my bike, genuine curiosity in his tone.

I looked towards my keys, inwardly smiling at the memory. Chris had taught me to ride a motorcycle for the first time.

We were going somewhere and I was on the backseat of the bike while he was riding it. My hands for wrapped tightly around my dad while he was speeding the vehicle at a high speed.

Next thing I know, the bike is going towards the side after being hit by a car and Chris lost control of it. I quickly managed to hold the handlebars and turn it around as I was sitting in the back and didn't get hit.

Nobody got seriously injured, and we laughed about it later. Yes our sense of humor was probably broken.

After that, Chris taught me how to ride a bike properly because I had the 'potential to ride a bike' as he said it. And I've been in love with the thing ever since.

"A friend" I shrugged towards Jeremy and he nodded then went back to whatever he was doing.

I was actually kind of shocked that this was all he had to say, and glare and say something mean and rude towards me.

Yeah, definitely weird.

After finishing the food, I drove off to the safehouse. Viola was flying back today and we had to interrogate Nathan.

I pulled up to the house and headed towards the living room where Felix and Ace were spread out and still asleep.

I sighed and walked towards my room. I grabbed my airhorn - don't even ask why I have it- and went back to the living room.

After I blew my air horn in their ears, they woke up with a start and looked around frantically.

"I swear one day somebody's gonna tear the whole building down with you guys still in it, and you're still gonna be ASLEEP." I rolled my eyes.

"Not true" "I don't think so" They muttered.

Felix suddenly shot up and asked "what time is it?!"

I checked my phone "11:15"

"Geez how do you have so much energy after just getting up" Ace groaned.

"Viola gets to the airport at 4. We need to go get her. Also, I'm not the only one who is energetic after sleeping at like six in the morning." Felix explained then pointes towards me for the last part.

I shrugged and Ace replied with "Yeah I know. But she's inhuman so that doesn't count"

I threw my hands in the air and shook my head at their antics.

"Alright, freshen up. We need to interrogate our little guest." I said on a more serious note.

They both immediately nodded and went away to do so.

A few minutes later, we headed to the chambers and spotted Nathan sleeping in one of the cells with his back to the wall.

(A slight tw)

The guards banged on his cell, which woke him up. He groggily looked up but immediately straightened up when he saw us.

The three of us walked into the cell and Felix picked him up by the collar and shoved him in the metal chair situated in the center of the cell.

The chair was built into the ground so he couldn't lift it and try anything we won't appreciate.

He had a hard expression on his face, but the fear was evident in his eyes.

Felix injected a chemical into his bloodline which would keep him awake and wouldn't let him pass out.

Ace decided to begin the party by picking up a sharp knife. Damn that one's gonna hurt like a bitch.

Ace's POV-

After the liquid was injected in his veins, I grabbed one of the sharpest knives and walked towards the little piece of shit.

Without any warning, I stabbed him right where he already had the stab wound in his side. He let out a painful scream, causing me to smirk. That was for trying to stab me.

Next, I decided to carve "DEATH SQUAD" on his stomach with my knife. Scarred for life. Just like his buddy did to Ash. That was for hurting my little sister.

He screamed and begged me to stop, but it just motivated me even more. I could see Felix and Ash doing the same thing. We all kind of become like psychotic maniacs in these kind of things.

After a few more minutes of me creating more scars on his body, I moved onto a special kind of tweezers like weapon. It was made out of metal with sharp edges, and was covered in a chemical which would make your skin feel like it's on fire if it comes on contact. Honestly, my personal favorite.

I grabbed it and started twirling it in my hand, in a taunting manner.

"So, wanna tell me where you've been all these years?" I asked him , still eyeing the weapon in my hand.

When he didn't answer, I moved closer "Fine. More entertainment for us I guess." And started pinching his skin near the nails with the tweezers hard enough to draw blood. He shouted and pulled on his chains to try and get away.

"tsk tsk tsk . That wouldn't work you dumbass. These are special kind of chains which'll only grow tighter if you pull on them." Ash said with a smirk, clearly enjoying the show.

"Now brother are you gonna let me have some fun too or do everything yourself" she whined and came over. I gave her a sadistic smile which she returned back proudly.

She grabbed a special kind of dagger. Ooohh this is gonna be goooooddd. If she is doing what I think she is doing, shit is going downnn for this motherfucker.

And not really to my surprise, she was doing exactly what I though she was.

She walked towards the fire located outside the cell and heated the dagger until it was flaming red hot.

Then she walked calmly towards Nathan and I saw the guards trembling behind her. She was usually either mad and pissed or laughing.

But never calm. And this was far more creepier. Scary enough to almost send a shiver down my spine.

She walked over to him while showing off her hot dagger and dragged it around his neck in a taunting manner. He flinched at the slight contact and you could practically see his whole body shaking in fear.

"So, why don't you tell me where your little friend is" she asked calmly, yet in a terrifying voice.

"Never" he narrowed his eyes, but the fear was still lacing his features. She let out a small chuckle and removed the knife from his neck.

"Well then, like my brother there said, more fun for us." And with that she stabbed the red hot dagger in his shoulder blade without any warning.

Can't say I'm not proud of that. *Grins like a proud brother*

Ash's Pov-

The torture went on for a few hours and the three of us took turns. When he didn't budge, we left to go get ready to pick Viola up from the airport.

It's alright though. Some people who think they are very strong, do not answer in the first go. Once we keep him here, I'm sure he'll start breaking.

But then again, this man also has his loyalty vowed to William. Heck he even killed his own wife just to gain William's trust.

Anyways, so around three in the noon, we headed to the airport to pick Vi up. Once in the car, she started whining about how her life has been so boring the last few days yada yada yada.

So basically, after all the whining, Felix finally agreed to let us go to one of our clubs tonight. Yes, we might own several clubs but Felix doesn't exactly let us go and get drunk all the time. Mom of the group.

I don't exactly have a problem with it considering I have a ton of shit to do and don't exactly get the time to go, Vi on the other hand, loves to go and party so she throws a total fit really. It's so amusing to watch them argue about that all the time.

A few hour later, the four of us got dressed and walked into one of the clubs here in New York that the Russians -aka- Felix owns.

We walked in confidently and the guards didn't stop us even though we were seriously underage, because we were with Felix.

Instead, they bowed in fear and respect. Man I love this life.

We head to the empty space near the bar and order our drinks. Or more like they ordered their drinks and I ordered a soda. Yeah no seriously, Felix being the mom of the group doesn't let me drink because I'm just 16. Even though I could break his neck in a second, I'm still a 'little kid' according to him. *Huffs like a two year old*

Ok maybe I understand where he is coming from. hehe....

Same goes for Ace. Overprotective shits. And viola just likes to watch the show so... Yeah.

Anyways, we started dancing and having a good time but I felt eyes on me. Ace was standing right in front of me, so I asked him to do a check if somebody was suspicious.

He looked around and his eyes landed right behind me.

"It's that dickhead of your brother Jeremy" He spoke his name with pure venom.

I groaned. C'mon can I atleast hang out with my friends in peace?! Goshh.

Then, an idea popped into my head. If we're gonna do this, might as well have some fun.

I popped out a cigeratte from my pocket and started smoking. What? Yes I like a dose of nicotine once in a while. And I'm not complaining about it.

First off, it helps with the stress and anxiety which I seem to get a lot. And most importantly, it helps with the nightmares and panic attacks. So yeah, and if somebody trys to stop me, well they don't win that argument. And maybe end up with a broken wrist or two. Trust me, My friends have experienced it. Hehe..

Then, I grinned at Ace and he narrowed his eyes at me. "No" he said flatly

"What? I didn't even say anything yet" I whined.

"No, but whatever you were about to say, my answer is No. I don't like that smile you're giving me" He said

"Oh c'mon" And with that I grabbed his arm and started dancing to a slow song, intentionally turning around so Jeremy could see my face.

I saw him walking towards us from the corner of my eye and tried my best to not laugh at his angry expression.

Jeremy came over and held my wrist tightly, taking out the cigarette and smashing it under his shoes while glaring murderously at Ace.

Ace gave him a flat look and I was failing miserably at containing my laughter.

Felix shook his head with an amused smile while Viola was silently laughing like me.

Ace just stood there blankly, not knowing what to do. Well I mean I did set him up. But I could see he was fighting back a smile.

Jeremy then glared at me while I gave him an innocent look.

"Come. With. Me." He said angrily and dragged me outside to his car.

"Oops" I said sarcastically before leaving which caused Felix to slap his hand over his mouth to prevent him from laughing.

The whole car ride was silent and I could see he was speeding off to the Dobrev mansion.

The second we reached, he dragged me by the arm to the basement, where Alexander was.

His grip was rather tight. Welp, that's gonna leave a mark.

Alfie and Lucian came running towards us when the say him dragging me.

"What the hell you doing Jeremy" Alfie said while giving him a glare.

"Let go of our sister Jeremy" Lucian said.

"Yeah you wouldn't say that if you knew what she was was doing" He enraged.

"And what exactly was that?" Lucian narrowed his eyes at Jeremy while he was still dragging me. Now the both of them were following us. Great.

He dragged me towards the 4th floor, where Alexander was at the moment, and also the floor I wasn't allowed to go to before they knew I know about the Mafia. Now, I'm not so sure.

But I know that the interrogation rooms are located on the floor. Elijah, one of my spy's informed me.

We got out of the lift and he took me to where Alexander was standing. He was staring into the two-way glass window of one the rooms. It was the kind of window through which you could see everything in it from the outside, but from the inside it appeared to be a blank mirror.

The guy sitting in the room with handcuffs had his face tilted towards the other side, so I couldn't see who he was.

"Dad. You'll never believe what I caught this little brat doing. She was at a fucking club and was smoking-" Jeremy started ranting on and on but I had my eyes glued to the man on the chair.

He just seemed so familiar.

That's when he moved a bit and I saw the tattoo behind his ear. The same tattoo I've ever only seen on him.

My eyes widened and I snatched my wrist from Jeremy, sprinting towards the door of this interrogation room. I kicked the door down and saw him, when I thought I never will again.

He hadn't looked at me yet and his head hung low in an exhausted manner. My heart broke at the sight but it was as if no words were coming out.

After a few moments of me just standing there, I finally spoke.

Papa?

(A/N)

Well, that was a long ass chapter. One of the longest ones I've written, so the next one'll probably be a little shorter.

And, just to be clear - William is Ashlynn's cousin. Nathan is William's best friend and second in command.

Also, the family will find out about Ash's real identity, but not just yet. I have that planned but y'all are gonna have to be a little patient <3.

But I do appreciate and love to read all your comments and messages. I hope you're enjoying my first book and keep showing you love and support <<<3

Also, this chapter is not revised or edited, so pardon the mistakes.
