“Who are you?” he asked and a chill ran down her spine. She looked him straight in the eyes. “Did he find out about her?” she thought, trying to read his eyes. “What do you mean?” she asked in a low tone.“I want to know more about you. I found your card, it states your name is Mia, but I'm curious. I want to know more.” He replied and relief washed through her. He was yet to find out anything. She just had to be careful.“Yes, my name is Mia, Mia Dante. I work for the government.” She replied.“I know all of that already. Tell me what I don't know,” he replied and when he noticed the uneasy look she had, he added. “Let Me leave you to rest, we will talk later.'' With that, he walked out of the room, closing the door softly.Cielo heaved a sigh of relief as he walked out of the room. She had thought he already found out her secret. She closed her eyes to relax and fluttered them open immediately. She had to contact her boss immediately. She searched for her purse on the table and when
Giovanni walked into Cielo's room to meet her standing by the window, looking out. The weather was cool, the sun had gone down and was now replaced by dark clouds that showed that it was going to rain.He stood by the door watching her. The thunder roared, and she stood unfazed by the window. She turned and saw a figure by the door and almost screamed.“Shit! You scared me.” She stated, leaning on the wall to face him.“Nice to hear that,” he replied sarcastically and he huffed.“Why would you even walk into a lady's room without Knocking? Are you a pervert?” her tone showed her annoyance. She was carrying out her pent up anger on him. He took quick steps and in a few seconds, he was standing in front of her, his right hand on her neck, choking her. She coughed as he stared at her with bloodshot eyes.“Don't you ever open your mouth to say shit about me in my house,” he warned, still choking her.She opened her mouth to say something but closed it after coughing multiple times. He rel
“How is it going on in the Palermo province?” a strange man asked.“Everything is going according to plan.” Romano Rossi replied. He was seated in the visitor's seat in the office of one of the men of the black eyed scorpion. The man's chair was turned, facing the wall so Romano could only see his back.“How do you intend to take out Giovanni?” the man questioned again. He was smoking from a fat tobacco pipe, Romano could only see the smoke it oozed.“We are working towards that. It is a three step plan that involves his brother and his new nightclub,” he replied with an air of confidence. The plan was to take out Giovanni so he could become the mob boss of Palermo. The position he had been eyeing ever since Giovanni took over. The men of the black-eyed scorpion had contacted him months ago with promises of making him the mob boss of Palermo. He had just one task, to sell the secrets and territory of the city to them. The plan had been going on for many months now and they felt it was
“Can't sleep?” Giovanni asked immediately she stepped into the balcony. She shivered slightly in fear as she heard the voice. She didn't expect to see him there at that time of the night. “Yes. Something like that,” she replied as she walked towards him. They both stood by the rail watching the calm night in the city.“It's a beautiful sight,” Giovanni stated, looking ahead. She nodded at the statement, choosing to remain quiet. They watched the night in silence for over five minutes before she decided to break the silence.“Do you do this every night?”“Watching the stars? Most nights.” He replied.“I guess you have a problem with sleeping” He nodded at her question and when he realized that she wouldn't see it, he mouthed “Sleep is for the weak.”She laughed at the statement while he still held a neutral expression. “Sleep is essential. Too much of sleeping is for the weak.” she corrected, making him turn his attention to her. “I guess that is correct too,” he replied. He shifted o
“... and checkmate.” the man in the white suit said as she smiled evilly. He was playing a game of chase on my computer, and so far, he had defeated the opponent multiple times.“Life is like a game of chess,” he told himself, looking at his diamond crafted wristwatch. He stepped down from his chair and went to his little bar pouring himself a drink. Things in the city of Palermo had just gotten interesting to him.“I have legit Intels. Romano needs to be taken down.” Angelo stated, causing him to raise an eyebrow.“Why do I need to take down Romano? He's a family leader.” Giovanni reminded him. Cielo sat quietly at the table, listening to their conversation without butting in.“He has been having meetings with a nameless man regularly. Rumors from dark sources suggest that he's planning to overthrow you.” Angelo replied crisply.“Interesting.”“We need to act fast while we still can. Just give an order, and his head will be rolling at your feet.” Angelo stated indignantly.“If I were
Angelo nodded. He trusted his brother to do what was right, but he wasn't going to fold his hands and watch his brother's hard work flushed down the drain by some faceless cowards!“How long do you intend to stay here?” he asked, rising from the chair.“Tell the other men to report to you. We will meet at the safe house.” he ignored his question. Angelo nodded, knowing better than to ask questions. He walked into his car and drove off. He drove to his personal house where he was welcomed by Gia who came out to welcome him as soon as she heard the sound of his car. He was at home with her before he received the call from his brother causing him to run out madly.“What happened? What made you run out that way?” she questioned, showing concern. He hugged her, kissing her softly on the lips.“I've had a stressful day, I need to rest now. You should head home now,” he responded, holding her by the waist. They were currently in a relationship. He had been dating her secretly for over a week
—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
“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
