His Purchased Wife novel Chapter 49

Sir, We have some news." One of Alexandros' men whispered to him.

Alexandros signalled the man to keep his mouth as he didn't want the news to get out, certainly not in front of Ryan or the man would not think twice before pulling his gun out.

"Did you find out anything, yet, Alexandros?" Ryan demanded the look on his face enough to predict that Ryan knight was on the verge of explosion not to mention he received Ethan's call for the fiftieth time since yesterday.

A two-sided war, who wants that on their doorstep. The Vancouver crime family was strong. Stronger than the other four families, Ethan King was strong too but with no heir to take over Ethan's territory made him look weak and in the mafia world if one lost power to look dominant, he would sign his own demise.

But of course, the man always stated his cruelty once in a while just to show everyone that the lion might be getting old but he was still the King. His man still trusts him and followed his rule blindly, he was a vicious man, one Ryan would rather accept as a friend rather than a foe.

It was only because of him, Ryan tried to arrange a marriage with Aurora when he came to know that she was Ethan King's daughter because in the Mafia, showing respect earns you gold coins but one sign of disrespect can earn you bullets, right between the eyes.

Alexandros eyes the man who just entered inside Liam's office. "Still no news boss." He informed Ryan and he let out an irritated screech.

Before the man could even blink, Ryan's gun was out and he was shot dead."Useless fellow!" He groaned, turned towards Alexandros.

"People always irritate me with their uselessness."

Alexandros nodded with a grin. "You killing your own man certainly is not going to help you anymore, Ryan. You need your man alive for them to be useful or you would be without any subjects to follow your rule."

Ryan shook his head. "I am still the boss of Vancouver's and I don't like it when I sniff someone hiding things from me," staring into his eyes, clearly stating that he knew Alexandros was hiding something.
