RAPHEAL

The middle aged detective meticulously signed off some papers and handed the file to his assistant who took them out. Contrary to his cold demeanour when he set his eyes on me, he had turned out to be rather understanding and patient with me.

“That's all.” he flashed me a warm smile which I returned with all pleasure.

“The shares would be put up for sale by the end of today. You can decide to buy them again if it pleases you.” He breathed. “But like I said, it's value wo

  • Dooming the mafia devil    Hallucination

    RAPHEAL “What do you mean?” I demanded, holding my gaze against his unsettled face. I was gathering ever single restraint in me. “I don't know…” he hesitated again. “Rapheal, please I need you to calm down.” “But the temple..” I chipped in, ignoring the news he just announced. “Serafina is there.” “Turns out it's a fake address.” He sighed. “It never existed.” My eyes narrowed. “Is this some kind of prank?” “I understand how you feel but we have to be..” “Be what Ruben?” I queried. “Am I supposed to leave her in there?” “You know where she is?” Is this some kind of joke? “The temple of course!!” I yelled with thin patience. “Look Ruben, I know you are concerned about me but this isn't the time to make silly jokes.” “I should be saying that same thing to you.” He replied. “I just said the temple doesn't exist. The adress miss Ciara gave us is a fake. There is nothing like that in this whole wide world.” He wasn't joking. “So where do you

  • Dooming the mafia devil    Consolation

    RAPHEAL “Serafina left you for good, Raphael.” “I warned you! Several times I tried to make it clear to you that she was not good for you. Yet you didn't listen.” I hated my mother. And I hated the fact that she was beginning to sound right. Going to the temple, passing out occasionally from exhaustion, getting hoisted back to my mansion, and waking up with half of my body attached to IV drips and machines had been my routine for three weeks now. Although my brain was cloudy, her words were as clear as a lake, ringing loudly in my ears and cruelly reminding me of my misfortune. I stared at the only thing I could grasp from her disappearance, the ruby heart shaped necklace. It had nearly cost an arm and leg to retrieve it from the station, given it was found at Don Columbus’ murder scene. Tears threatened to pool at the corners of my eyes, but I quickly pushed them back, as soon as I heard footsteps approaching. I suddenly became aware of my en

  • Dooming the mafia devil    He left

    SERAFINA “Serafina!!” His voice resonated louder, as Ciara and I raced to the down floor. “Please Sera I need to talk to you! I promise I won't take much of your time please. I just..” the breaking of his voice twisted something in me. “How..” Ciara trailed off, wearing her shock on her face. “He's probably dead.” Someone muttered behind us. Pretty much everyone had gathered at the sound of his voice. The temple wasn't visible to humans, except they died some sort of painful death and was supposedly lost on the path to the afterlife. There in, the temple becomes visible to them and they come to seek help. In most occasions, they usually come bearing a grudge at the news of their death, and their trespassers are assigned to special missioniers. At least, eighty in every hundred task came from these spirits, while the rest were special orders from the heavens. Like Rapheal. There were off situations at time, like when someone cursed them so despe

  • Dooming the mafia devil    Finding her

    RAPHEAL The familiar scent of mint assaulted my sense of smell, and I quickly opened my eyes. Despite the heaviness lounged in them, my brain did a quick check for me, fully jolting me to reality. Finally gathering my strength, I sat up to the dark empty room which was originally mine. I was back at the mansion. I looked around, quickly scanning for any abnormalities like Serafina, even though I knew she wouldn't be here. It made my chest tighten. Pushing the large duvet aside, I walked to the not so far vanity table, poured myself a glass of water and gulped down. If I couldn't treat my heart, at least I could tend to my parched throat. I must have been out for so long. Ruben walked in the next second, his face assuming its usual scorn and judgement. “You are awake.” “You are here.” I replied, stopping in front of the mirror to observe my disheveled look. Even my shadow would have been disappointed. The almighty Rapheal Dekoms who made heads rol

  • Dooming the mafia devil    Wrath

    SERAFINA When it dawned on me that I had lost all sense of feelings in me and that they had been replaced by an eternal feeling of numbness, was when everyone scampered for safety in the temple, fearing for their lives hence they fell into the hands of Marionette and incurred her unforgiving wrath. Everyone knew better than get on her bad side. Everyone except me. So that morning, when the normally serene temple was suddenly replaced by chaos, I knew I had tempted her again. But I was too numb to feel any emotions. “Where the hell is she?” I heard her voice yell from the hallway downstairs. “Serafina!” I was supposed to run. But I didn't want to.. “Serafina!!” She yelled again, followed by the sound of a crashing glass. She had probably ruined one of the sculptures placed at the gallery. A frantic knock echoed through my door. “Serafina!” Ciara whispered. “Holy fucking Mary.” “Open this door!” She whispered again. “You need to get of here!”

  • Dooming the mafia devil    Under the rain

    SERAFINA Background song: Dynasty by Miia. This chapter would have more effect with the background song. I wished he had followed me. But I was happy he didn't. The rain drops splattered on the tinted glass of the cab that was headed to the temple. As I traced the mist they cast on the glass, i somehow wished I had come as a raindrop instead. They were so free.. Free to do whatever they wanted and fall on whomever.. I couldn't decipher where the sudden blurriness came from, but I knew it wasn't enough to numb the pain that erupted from my heart and seized my whole body, making me wish I was dead. A phone suddenly pinged, drifting me back to a harsh reality. “The weather forecast never gave any information about an incoming rain.” the cab driver spoke. “It was unexpected.” The voice over the speaker replied. “And you left your umbrella at home.” He sighed. “Tell me about it.” “Don't worry, I will prepare a hot curry soup for you when

  • Dooming the mafia devil    FIRST ENCOUNTER

    RAPHEAL The music blasting from the club reached as far as two streets, where my driver had parked to grab some pills for me. From the loudness, I figured my destination would be very full. Shortly after, as I casually slided through my ipad, my driver returned and handed me the substance wh

  • Dooming the mafia devil    UNHINGED

    SERAFINA After my three fids training under Marionette– approximately six months– undergoing all sort of torture and handling a few trial missions, I was finally given my first official mission. Rapheal Dekoms, Ropp’s most eligible widower, was feared in power yet fatally vulnerable to be

  • Dooming the mafia devil    NIGHTMARE

    RAPHEAL. I pushed through the tall frames of the trees, running to wherever my feet carried me. My heart pounded in my chest and my lungs felt so tired. My vision was blurry and stung hard. Given the darkness that eluded the forest, it all felt hopeless. Screeching cries echoed around me, incr

  • Dooming the mafia devil    REINCARNATION

    YUANITA A sudden searing light tore through the darkness, nearly blinding me. I gasped, trying to catch a breath of air, as the memory of life seeping from me, clouded my mind. My lungs burned, and my heart hammered roughly in my chest, like it was being ripped from its position. I let out a l
