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

“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

“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

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
Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 23. A deal
Giovanni walked into the room in his building where the meeting with the capos was supposed to hold. It was a little room in his building where such meetings were always held. The room was dark, thanks to the black curtains that prevented the brightness of the sun from penetrating inside the room. The four capos of the different street districts of the city were already seated. All dressed in black suits, their faces were stoic and they sat in silence. Giovanni inside the room and stood in front, followed by his consigliere. “Good morning, gentlemen.” he greeted, looking at everyone's faces. Nobody held a smile. The atmosphere was tense as they all waited for him to continue. “This morning, I got some not too pleasant news. Evil just hit the Cherisi family.” he paused again before continuing “I need you all to maintain a firm grip on your sections. Protect it with all your might and if you find any foreign force lurking around, report directly to me.” The men all nodded in agreemen
Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 24. The meeting
“Alright, we have a deal,” Giovanni replied, making Luigi smile. She stretched his hand forward and Giovanni took it in a firm handshake. He knew what he just signed up for. Marrying Luigi's daughter was more difficult than it seemed. Luigi was a traditional man who believed in the principles of marriage.“Let's toast to that,” Luigi replied. Giovanni raised his glass like he was forced to. After his first meeting with Luigi some weeks ago, he had ordered one of his men to keep an eye on his daughter and the information he got was sickening. She was a wild one who loves popping pills, attending parties, and having wild sex. He was going to have to tame her for the few years they were gonna stay together.“Now that I have agreed on that, I think you can now give me some answers, or don't you think so?” Giovanni asked.“Ya. Right.” Luigi replied with a smile. He picked up the parceled paper and opened it gently as if it contained a great secret. He cleared his throat before starting to s
Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 25. Anonymous visits
Alessio shook with fear in his seat. One look at the man in front of him could send a man pissing his pants. The tension in the room thickened as Alessio stared at him hard, his cheekbone ticking every second. “I have one question for you, and I want you to answer me truthfully.” the Anonymous man said without a smile. Alessio nodded multiple times in agreement. He was in a state of monumental shock.“Were you involved in the death of Mateo Verrilli?”Alessio stared at him for some minutes before inhaling deeply. He opened his eyes and looked at Enzo straight in the eyes. “No. I didn't like Alessio, but I had no hand in his death,” he replied Enzo inhaled sharply before rising from his seat. “Alright then. I will see you soon, and that will be your last day on earth,” he revealed and flashed him a scorning smile before walking out. Alessio's heart beat hard against his chest every passing second. How dare that man come into his domain to threaten him. He gritted his teeth in anger b
