Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 15. Piero
—That was how she had gotten out of Giovanni's mansion and was now back to the base. She waited in her room for her boss to call for her. The driver had dropped her off about an hour ago after a short trip of complete silence. He didn't utter any word to her and she didn't bother starting a Convo. She had locked the door, stripped naked and gotten into the shower immediately she stepped into her room. She spent over two minutes in the bathtub allowing the warm water calm her tensed muscles. She sponged herself, before draining the water. Her thoughts drifted to Giovanni. Had he found out that she had broken away? Was he already looking for her? She knew he would already be looking for her. She didn't how how important the files were, but if they were important to her boss, then it would surely be important to him.She stepped out of the tub, wrapping herself in a big towel before walking over to her wardrobe. She took out a comfy baggy trouser and tank top and wore it before going to
Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 16. Who's Piero?
“Huh?” She stared at him with wide eyes. She almost spat back her drink as he stared at him in surprise. Why was he asking her about it?“It was successful,” she answered plainly and he stared at her, not believing her.“And … ” he drew.“And I'm back” she offered him a tight smile and he stared back with a furious look in his eyes. He was always over-possessive of her. He had feelings for her and she knew it. They had gotten into a relationship some years ago during her first few years in the institution before she broke them up some months later. He had opposed her decision, but that was what she wanted. She didn't like the idea of dating.“Huh? Nothing happened?” he asked with a raised eyebrow, looking deeply at her like he could read through her. He suspected that she might have gone down with Giovanni.“All those little details are mine to keep or tell. What matters is that the mission was successful,” she replied calmly, looking at him deadbeat in the eyes. They stared at each ot
Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 17. A Trip to Venice
Giovanni leaned forward in his chair as he waited for Luigi to speak again. He tried to remain calm under the tension, but with every passing second they spent in silence, he got more agitated. He wanted answers, and he wanted them quickly.“I'm sorry for what happened to your clubhouse. I heard it got bombed.” Luigi started, speaking calmly. Giovanni hissed. News was always sure to spread quickly.“Thank you for your concern. That is one of the reasons I am here,” he replied, studying his host's facial expression. Luigi still remained unfazed as he continued speaking.“It's an honor that I am the first person you turned to,” Luigi spoke with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, Giovanni caught the sarcasm but chose not to react. He wasn't planning on losing his cool over trivial issues.“Somethings are not how the eyes see them. You said that” Giovanni leaned back in his chair, maintaining eye contact with his host. “I want answers, and I know you can provide them,” he added.“My answers ha
Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 18. Kill Angelo
Romano rose from his seat and walked out, followed by some of his armed men. They walked quietly out of the building into the cars that were parked outside before driving off.“Get me through to Jack again,” he ordered one of his men who was sitting in front of the car. The man took out the phone and tried again. It still gave the same response. “Nothing, sir”“Arrrgh, ” Romano screamed. Get me to Giovanni immediately. Inside Giovanni's office, Angelo sat comfortably on the chair. His gun was placed on the table beside a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of liquor. He flipped through the files he had printed out of his laptop with full attention. A knock sounded on the door and he raised his head to stare at it, debating if to grant access to whoever was knocking. “Come in” he finally replied and the face of one of his men popped in, followed by his entire body. He did a little salute and bowed. “Romano Rossi requested to see the boss. He is waiting outside.” the guard informed. “I
Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 19. The savior
“The target is sixty-five seconds away from you. Coming from the left.'' The man inside the car was informed through a phone call. He dropped the call and kicked the engine of the car to life. He cocked his gun before checking the time on his stopwatch. He still had some valuables to spare.The headlight of a car shone brightly from the left side of the road and he set his car into motion, ramming into the side of the car. The collision was heavy and sent a spiraling effect on the other car. He walked out with his gun cocked and pointed forward and shot a bullet at the driver of the other car. He walked closer to the car and yanked the door open. The driver sat in his seat looking weak and half dead. A bullet had caught his lower abdomen. The killer raised his gun and was about to fire another bullet when a gunshot sounded behind him. The effect was a sharp pain at the back of his head that sent a numb feeling through his body.Cielo Verrilli stepped out of the shadows, a gun in her ha

“How did you know I was being targeted?” Angelo asked for the fifth time since they started talking. He was laying on his back on the bed while Cielo sat on a chair beside the bed.“That is a secret, but let's just say I stumbled upon a piece of information that turned out to be pretty helpful,” Cielo replied.He wanted to ask more questions, but he just nodded in response. The questions could wait till later. He had to recover first.“You have some hours to rest. I'll be back by dawn. We have a lot to talk about if you wanna save your brother.” She admonished and got up from her seat. He watched her pick up some of her things from the table in his room before walking out of the room. He scoffed arrogantly as soon as she walked out. Who did she think she was?He helped himself out of the bed and walked to the table where his blood-stained jacket lay. His shirt was totally soaked in blood and lay in the waste bin. He picked up his jacket and checked the breast pocket, pulling out the ne
Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 21. Scorpione Nero
“Hold up… You said you got your piece from my brother, right?” Angelo asked skeptically “Yeah” “Does that mean he is one of them?” He asked, feeling unsure of his feelings.“No. He isn't. They wouldn't wanna kill him if he's one of them.” She reasoned.“Alright. Now tell me all you know about this scorpione nero you speak about.” Angelo asked. He was really curious to hear about them. If they wanted to take out Giovanni, then they were more dangerous than he thought.“The scorpione Nero which means the black scorpion in English is an ancient Italian cult founded some centuries ago by a group of elite Italian scientists, administrators, and other men of high intellectual standards. They believe greatly in science and astrology.” She explained.“Wow! Sounds really powerful,” he exclaimed.“Ya. Many years ago, they were declared dangerous and the church labeled them an enemy. Some of their members were killed and they fled into secrecy. They haven't made a public appearance for many dec
Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 22. Dead or alive.
Giovanni rushed out of the office and ran to his car. He revved the engine to life and zoomed off. It was a few minutes past six am when his phone began ringing again.“Hello,” he said, as soon as he picked up the call. He controlled the steering wheel with one hand while his other hand held the phone to his ear.“There is a report of a burnt-up car along via copressi. Happened early hours of this morning.” the caller informed him.“Look, I have other important things to deal with right now. You can check it out and send a report to me.” Giovanni replied.“I have already done that, and I think you might wanna have a look.” the caller replied. From his tone, Giovanni knew that something was actually wrong.“Alright, I'll be there in ten minutes.” he sighed before dropping the call. He slowed the car to a stop and made a U-turn. He could hear the loud sound of sirens as he drove closer to Via Copressi. The scene of the burnt car was rounded with a no-entry sign. He parked his car at a s
