His phone vibrated.He stared at the caller ID before answering.“Brother.” His sister's voice came on.“Mandy.”“Where are you?”“Why are you asking? Do you plan on coming to my house again without my permission?”She chuckled awkwardly. “No of course not. I won't want to get you offended.”Anthonio hummed.“Well, the reason why I asked was that I was just checking up on you and another reason why I called is to remind you about Jonathan's party.”“Jonathan?” “Yes, the charity ball he always holds every year? He called Mom to remind us all so
Anthonio watched the ambulance bring out the bodies from the car and strap them on the carrier.Then he glanced over to where Mouse stood talking to one of the men, and Mouse patted the man on the back, then turned towards him.He came over to Anthonio. “Are you ready?”Anthonio nodded his head and they went to the car and got in.Anthonio stared out of the car window as it drove past the streets of Sydney, he hardly saw the streets because he was deep in thought.Was it his fault Simon is dead?If he hadn't used the man's ID to trace Lucifer, could he have been alive?He tried to push those thoughts away, but they kept creeping in.He noticed a stare and looked away from the view and met Mouse’s eyes. Mouse had been staring at him then he gave him a little smile which Anthonio returned.He returned his gaze to the outside.The car came to a stop and a light squeeze on his leg brought him back to reality.“Anthonio, we are here,” Mouse said looking worried and Anthonio provided a smil
“Simon is dead.”Anthonio stared at Mouse.“What did you say?” Bruno asked behind him.“I said Simon is fucking dead. His wife called one of our men asking for Simon's whereabouts and when they tried to get in touch with the driver they couldn't so they went to the route they took and found the two of them in the car shot dead in the head.” Mouse replied and Bruno gasped softly.Mouse stared back at Anthonio who hadn't said anything.“Anthonio…”“They killed him.”“Do you mean the people who hired him?”Anthonio nodded. “I'm sure of it.”“The fuck…”“Where are the men that went to the scene?” Anthonio asked.“They are still there.” “Let's go there,” Anthonio said, and was made to leave but he turned back towards Bruno and Carnis who still had her head bent.“When I get back I want to see both of you.” He said coldly and left with Mouse.“Fuck.” Carnis said when they left and then glanced at Bruno.His face was tight and he turned away from her.She watched him go to his seat behind h
“We have to talk about Neils. What went on while I was on my vacation?” Mouse asked Anthonio and Anthonio brushed a hand over his hair.“Nothing much.” He replied rigidly.“Yeah, the boss just married the woman,” Bruno added and Anthonio shot him a glare.“Married? What are you talking about?” Mouse asked confusedly, glancing at the two men before him.“It isn't a real marriage Mouse. Just a convenience.” Anthonio sighed.“Convenience?” Mouse frowned. “I don't understand.” Anthonio licked his lips and exhaled. “I signed a deal with Neils…”He narrated everything that had happened, and Mouse stared at him in amazement.“... So I did all that to protect her.” Anthonio completed.“You brought her into Sheinds Palace.”Anthonio shrugged. “To protect her.”“But you said she lied about being attacked in her house,” Mouse interjected and Anthonio nodded.“Yes, but I know she did that for a reason.”“What reason?”“A reason I'm trying to find out,” Anthonio replied and Mouse squinted at him.
Marley walked through a narrow pathway using a face cap to hide her face.She clenched the bag dangling from her shoulder tightly and passed a group of men who were drinking and whispering to one another.Their whispers quietened when they saw Marley and one of the men stood in her path abruptly making her halt her step.“Hey pretty.” He cooed and bent his head a little to peek at her face.“What is a pretty woman like you doing in a place like this? You are one hell of a pretty lady and I would love to see how pretty you will look naked on my bed.”The other men jeered, their laughter ranting in the air.Marley's lips thinned. “Get out of my way.” Her voice dripped with coldness and the man scoffed.“Don't be rude, I can satisfy you pleasurably well. What do you say, we have a quickie in the corner?”“Go have a quickie with your mother.” Marley spat and shoved the man away.The other men booed.Marley had just taken three steps when a hand dragged her back.“How dare you talk to me l
“Boss the transaction was made from an account named Florida!”Anthonio's brows creased. “What?”“Yes, Boss. The account Lucifer made the transaction from was named Florida.”“Could it be the same…”“Yes, they are literally the same account,” Bruno affirmed his thought.“Why would he make the transaction from that account? How are they connected?” Anthonio muttered, his mind racing in all possible directions.“It seems the person that Lucifer was working for is someone you know or a rival because they are also exploiting your company,” Bruno said over the line.Anthonio drummed his fingers on the table deep in thought.Whom could it be?This could also be connected to what happened five years ago.“Boss?” Bruno's voice invaded his thoughts.“Yes. What were you saying?”“I said we have to find how it is all connected.”Anthonio hummed. “Can you trace the account?”“The account is hard to trace and I'm trying my best.”“We have to find out who has that account and how it's all related.
Marley moved quietly in that direction, her heart thumping fast.She knew it was foolish to follow someone who may be dangerous or armed without being armed herself.She had forgotten to take her pocket knife with her, so now she was left with her fists.She reached the end and turned sharply to th
“Hey, girlie.”Marley's stomach churned at the voice. No one needed to tell her who was calling.How did this crook get her number?“It isn't three weeks yet Don.”“Yeah, I know girlie. I'm just checking up on you, in case you wanna pull any funny business I just wanted you to know you can't run aw
Mrs. Kalvey opened the door and welcomed someone in.Anthonio's eyes darkened when he saw who it was.Benita.“What the….” Mandy gasped behind Anthonio, also not expecting Benita to be here.Benita smiled awkwardly at the two siblings whose eyes were sending daggers her way.Mrs. Kalvey broke the t
A woman stood at the threshold of the Australia airport.“Home sweet home.” She breathed in and removed her dark shades.“Where is he?” She glanced at her wrist watch.“Benita.” She turned her head to the voice and smiled.“Peter.”Peter stepped up to her and hugged her.“Why are you just coming no
