Chapter 55.
Courtney POV.
After listening to Max and all the information he has on his dad. I smirk inwardly. I have our
plan and where we will target.
What I don’t understand is why my grandpa who has the power didn’t use this? But then again,
he didn’t know Max was Grim’s son. Max is our closest ally right now and has a wealth of
information, and I plan to use it all.
Grandpa left me in charge for a reason, and I’m damn sure it wasn’t to just sit pretty, playing
house. No, I have never been one to sit still and do nothing.
Grandpa has gone in with a frontal assault. He is blinded by rage and the need to get justice
for our family. But maybe he is going about it all wrong.
I made a few calls last night to some of the dons and requested their help. They were eager to
oblige with what I needed. Then again, we are the Cosa Nostra. We are one, one family and family helps each other.
Today’s plan is simple. Richie is still trying to find the mole. Even though I know who it is, I want to see if he comes up with the same information. Because something isn’t right. Richie, being the tech whizz he is should have been able to find the mole sooner and the location of
Grim. But he didn’t. So right now I don’t trust him.
Then there is Fabio, he is like a shadow, always watching, waiting, analysing. Something isn’t
right there either. So he is being watched as well.
Luckily for me, I have a few tricks up my sleeve. I have my own contacts through the dark web. My own secret. Even momma never knew this.
When I was thirteen, I stumbled across the dark web after I accidentally hacked into something I shouldn’t have, but in my defence, if you are going to keep confidential
information about something, then make sure your firewall is impenetrable.
I hacked into another hacker’s IP and found all kinds of icky s**t. The person known as Karma quite literally found me at school and little did I know he, yes he is one of the best in the world.
I may not have many friends, but I consider Karma a friend. He will be useful in this. After all, I may just need all the help I can get. There is only one way to get Karma’s attention.
So I digress. I will once again venture into the dark web and follow everything Max told us

about the locations of the warehouses, the contacts that Grim has, his run schedule and who
he is running the guns and product for.
I will destroy him from the inside out, like a fire. I will cut the legs from under him, and watch
as he burns.
So that is what I am doing. Sitting in my bedroom where I know there are no cameras as I hack my way into where I need to be.
Kaden, Max, and dad are working on their own strategy to bring Grim to his knees. But we
have two aces up our sleeve.
One, Chloe is alive and awake. I will go and see her and hopefully get her on side. If not, then
she will, well I don’t want to think of that right now.
Two, we know Storm is the mole, but I know from what Max said that Grim always has more
than one, but Storm has shown his hand.
I watch the screen fade to black and then a green glow appears as code appears on the
screen. I smirk as I crack my knuckles and wiggle my fingers.
I begin typing and fast as I take in the numbers and letters on the screen. Karma, you sneaky
little bastard.
I chuckle as I battle with his fire wall and bingo! I’m in.
A message pops up from Karma.
Karma: Well, well, well, little red. Long time no hack. Why are you here now?
I smile as I read his encrypted message.
Me: Karma, well I missed you too much and decided I can’t let you have all the fun, besides I
need a favour. I’m calling it in.
I reply and wait for him to respond.
Karma: You really think I will listen to what you need? You stole my data and now you want to
call in your favour? Not gunna happen little red.
I scoff as I read his message.
Me: Oh, well, in that case I will send everything anonymously to the FBI. You know, from the department you stole that data from in the first place. I wonder what would happen when they receive a tip. Oh wait, I know. You, my dear friend, will be caught and spend the rest of your life in federal prison for cyber crimes, and I may just throw in a little bit of terrorism and treason.

Soooo, whatcha say, old buddy, old pal?
I chuckle as I drink from my forty ounce Stanley cup and I know he is probably cursing me right now.
Karma: Why, you little … Fine, what do you need from me?
I smile. What Karma doesn’t know is the data I stole from him is long gone. I destroyed it but still oopps. Little did I know back then it was information about the Gambino family. My family. So I did the right thing.
Me: I knew you would help me. Anyway, it’s simple something your brilliant mind will figure
out in a matter of seconds.
Karma: Go on, I’m waiting.
Me: I need all the information you can find on some people. I will send you their information
now, but I also need you and your team to hack into several places for me. You know the
usual, phones, emails, IP addresses. Coordinates, that sort of thing. So Karma, will you help
me? Or should I ready this information to send to the FBI?
I chuckle evilly. See, not all sweetness and light at all.
Karma: Send it all over, little red. Wait for my reply.
I smile, knowing he would do it for me. I send over everything Max provided me and some
more. While Karma is working on that, I get to work tracking locations, the inventory list, and
account numbers.
Grim is not that smart. I know what his warehouse looks like and the exact location. I even
have shipping manifests with the seller’s information. Interesting, Grim is dealing with the
Bratva. Well, I will send a message to this Peter Ivanov.
I even have when the next shipment is due. I have even changed the shipments location and
date. We will be there to collect on Grim’s behalf and by the time he realises something is
wrong, his guns and product will be safe with us.
I spend hours staring at the screen, setting things in motion, when another message pops up.
Karma: That was easy. Next time make it difficult. Oh wait, you can’t. Ha! It looks like you have
got yourself into some s**t, little red. From the information I have got for you, this could get you killed.
Me: Awww, you worried about me? That is so sweet of you Karmy. Here’s the thing: it won’t get
me killed at all. You wanna know why?

Chapter 55.
Karma: Oh, do tell, I’m dying from the suspense.
Me: You are working for me now, Karma. Besides, you owe me.
Karma: How do I owe you?
Me: You knew who I was all along. Don’t deny it. So you and your team will now work for me.
Got it?
Karma: Wow, the little president, and future donna has claws. Ok, because you twisted my
arm, I’m in. But I want five times what I usually charge for my services. That’s a million dollars
little red and not a cent less. Do we have a deal?
Me: Deal, now I want you to plant a virus for me. I could do it myself, but I can’t be bothered. I
will send the details. Lock him out once you have transferred everything from the IP. I want it
all in the next hour. Can you do it?
Karma: Well, duh, of course I can. Now let’s play.
I smile as I click open the information Karma and his team have sent me. I chuckle. Max was right, Grim is using the families to get what he wants. Grim is not that clever. I have everything
about him.
I know who all his moles are now and where each one is. Funnily enough, Storm is the only
one that is here. So Richie is clear for now. Fabio too.
There is one name that stands out from the rest. Don Benito. The old asshole my dad put a blade to. Benito is working for Grim. Well, let’s see what other secret the old fool is hiding.
I read through his information, and my eyes widen. No f*****g way. Now it makes sense.
Storm is Benito’s grandson.
