~ MICHAEL LORENZO ~

I stood at the ceiling to floor window of my office, my eyes gazing at the now calm glittering city.

Swirling the glass of champagne in my hands, today had been very busy; with me visiting the hospital, attending back to back meetings and signing multiple documents.

“Casper, get the car ready,” I muttered as the piercing ring of my phone echoed in the dimly lit office. I made my way to the table.

On the table aside my phone were notebooks, a few documents, vape and the contract between Luca and I — Strategic Partnership Agreement. It's been a week since we signed this deal and as I thought back to the meeting I had with Luca, his unmoving stance and his determination for progressive partnership had impressed me.

While still staring at the blue binded contract, a grin played on my lips when I heard the one word. “Done!” the caller said from the other end.

“Okay.”

I disconnected the call.

“Sir, the car is ready,” Casper said and we both rushed out of the room.

  • Contracted to the Mafia Lord: The devil and His pet   DEAL FINALIZATION

    ~ MICHAEL LORENZO ~Casper's quiet voice echoed in my ear as I turned uncomfortably on the large sofa in the hospital. The window curtain had opened a bit and a stream of light penetrated the room, giving it a warm feel. Shaking off the sleepiness, I remembered where we were and my eyes instantly darted to the person on the bed. Still asleep.Sitting up to wear his shoes, Casper whispered again. “We need to prepare for work, remember, you have a meeting with Luca Vitiello.” I had wanted to ask him why the low tune but then I realized he doesn't want to wake my Mother.“What’s the time?” At the mention of Luca, I stood up like I had taken some energy drink seconds ago.“It's past 06:00 already,” he replied, this time, already ready while he tightened the knot of his tie.Shortly after, Doctor Robert came in again.“If there’s any further emergency or discussion, I will let you know,” he said, giving me a light tap on my shoulder.My eyes scanned his face. He was getting old. Doctor Ro

    ~ LUCA VITIELLO ~One more time, I glanced at my little Mia before dashing out of the room.We took the car which I had taken to Lorenzo's party.I took out my phone as I searched through my contact list for Doctor Peng's contact but he beat me to it as his name appeared boldly on my phone screen.“Luca! What the hell is with the casualties?” Peng thundered from the other end. Gabriel had done a good job contacting him on time.“Peng, even I don't know yet, but I will give you a full update tomorrow, for now, just make sure none of them dies.” I uttered, tapping my foot restlessly in the car.At the warehouse, the metal locks were destroyed, broken and bent beyond recognition. “How many men were injured?” I asked Damien as I stepped into the dimly lit Warehouse.The state of the warehouse was shocking. The air was thick with smoke, grease and of…. blood.“I don't know how many were severely injured, but eight men were taken to the hospital,” Damien replied.“What do you mean by you d

  • Contracted to the Mafia Lord: The devil and His pet   DILEMMA

    ~MIA ANTHONY ~I got a message from my new online tutor that she wouldn't be available today. But why would she commence teaching only to make excuses the next day? Or was she ordered by Luca to withdraw? At the thought of Luca, I recalled yesterday's event. His voice when he proposed the America travel idea, his countenance when I rejected it and his defiant attitude when he gave up, all came reeling back.If he had been his usual self, he would have told me to pack my bags but he agreed easily. I didn't believe it at first until I saw him facing his back to me and not pursuing the discussion. But his absence in the morning; the empty space I met beside me and the cold feeling of the sheet told me that it had been a long time since he left the room. Had I made him angry? Did he sleep in his study instead? Feeling guilty, I wished he had dropped a note; at least, like the one time he had done. “Mia, you set the rules, you're finally getting happy, don't ruin the moment, okay?” I

  • Contracted to the Mafia Lord: The devil and His pet   CONFLICTED HEART

    ~ LUCA VITIELLO ~"Are you drawing a battle line, Luca?” You seem to love my name so much, Lorenzo. But the Mafia Clan isn't fading anytime soon,” I uttered as I left. His face remained in its former demeanor.******The loud sound of the bathroom door brought me out of my thoughts as I stepped into the room. My heart quickened and my palm grew sweaty as I watched her walk past me. However, I had been expecting a welcome back greeting as usual but I received none.“How was school today?” I asked, while I steadily walked towards the bed, but I got no response.My thoughts became a clash of battle. Where did I go wrong? How do I navigate this rising issue? How do I get her to talk to me? I knew she wanted space, but I hadn't known this was how she wanted it— ignoring me.Taking off my clothes, I stepped into the bathroom, her body wash fragrance wafted through my nose, reminding me that I could only smell her; her scent, and not get to touch her.Under the shower, I gasped as the icy

  • Contracted to the Mafia Lord: The devil and His pet   THE SPACE BETWEEN

    ~ LUCA VITIELLO ~ “I overheard you guys discussing a deal, did you sign a deal with him?”“Yes.”“Okay, but why? I know Lorenzo doesn't do any good when it comes to the Mafias’ which you're aware of, yet you still made a deal with him?”“Deals aren't made based on emotions but strategies, don't worry, I know what I'm doing.”I wouldn't call the night a splendid one, maybe because I wasn't spending it with my little Mia or because Lorenzo had pissed me off with his fake smile. I wish I could read his mind and not his actions. It can be tiring, trying to observe what the other person is doing.It's been more than a week since I got a threat letter or heard any news of a stolen item. With the help of Uncle Diego and my team, I was able to increase the security of the warehouse and also recruit more people to guard the ships when importing. “Do you have a castle?”Tessy asked, pulling me out of my reverie. I looked at her briefly. She was wearing the dress I bought for her. A turquoise
