โThat was some flight there.โ Francisco acknowledged.โWelcome back.โ Victor greeted as both men shook hands.โIt doesnโt feel like I left at all.โ Francisco responded.A number of guys began loading Franciscoโs luggage into an SUV while Francisco joined Victor to his own vehicle.โAren't you going to blindfold me?โ Francisco asked Victor who had gotten into the seat beside him before the vehicle took off.โI wouldnโt mind.โ Victor replied. โThe only thing stopping me is I see you as one of us, so thereโs no need.โโTrust.โ Francisco grinned. โYou know, its good to see people who live by their principles.โVictor smiled briefly.Francisco looked out the window and there was disappointed written on his face. Although there were a good number of new buildings as well as skyscrapers, he felt the place was unchanged as compared to how it was the last time he was around. Of course Victor noticed the expression on his face.โIt looks different from the last time you were here.โ Victor said.

Victor offered to take Francisco home while Martelli had a meeting to attend somewhere around the city. Alexander opted to stay back a little to finish up some paper work he was attending to before Victor arrived with Francisco. Martelli thought it was strange as Alexander was one who hated any form of self isolation. He followed Victor and Francisco out but returned a few moments later to Alexanderโs office.At a glance, Martelli knew something was wrong with Alexander. He had been acting strange for some days and it never crossed Martelliโs mind to question him in order to find out what was wrong and if possible, fix it.Immediately Alexander saw Martelliโs face he knew what he came for. It was something he had done a lot previously and so Alexander could tell when he was about to be a detective. He was divided on what to do. Should he tell Martelli what was wrong? And if he did, how would he react or what action would he take? Also, if he does not open up and Martelli finds out lat

Life couldnโt be more difficult and cruel to Kristine. In a short time she had lost everyone she could call a friend. She already lost count of the missed calls she gave Camille. As for Alexander, he made it clear he never wanted to see her again. Rejected and pregnant, if she had the power, she would command the ground to open and swallow her so she could be out of her misery.The doorbell rang and Kristine went to answer. She opened the door to see a delivery man standing with a package.โPackage for Kristine Richards.โ The delivery guy said.โI am Kristine Richards.โ Kristine replied.The delivery guy gave her a booklet to sign before he handed the package to her.โThank you.โ She said politely as she received the package from him.Once the delivery guy left, Kristine inspected the package and thought it felt weird adding to the fact she wasnโt expecting anything from anyone.Kristine took the package in and shut the door behind her.She sat on a couch and unwrapped the package whi

The reception was quite packed when Camille came in. There was a number of people waiting to be attended to when one of the receptionists signaled to Camille to come over.โHello ma'am, how may I help you?โ A receptionist greeted.Camille responded that she needed an audience with Alexander.โAre you scheduled to have a meeting today?โ The receptionist asked.โNo, but its urgent pleaseโ Camille asked.โIโm sorry maโam but he said not to allow anyone โโโDamn it!โ She said between her teeth, her voice was quite low so that only the receptionist attending to her heard her and her face showed a very great deal of seriousness โI have to see Alexander right now. Make it happen right nowโฆ I donโt have all day.โ This time she was authoritative.The receptionist was stunned by Camilleโs sudden switch and hurriedly made a call, while making eye contact with the security who approached their position slowly. Alexander had asked not to be disturbed except it was an appointment. It was how he ope

Kristine was taking her fifth tour round the house. The place seemed bigger with each tour, quite unusual such that she began to doubt her own sanity. She had a lot on her mind and she was trying out some distraction mechanisms. She tried seeing a movie but got bored, tried reading a book but couldnโt get the words past her eyes, the laundry was a no go area as she was put off by just the sight of the clothes. Nothing seemed to click for her and so she settled for touring her home.Thoughts of Alexander weighed her down. โMaybe if I had taken Camilleโs advice and reported myself before the hit, things would have been different' she thought. Now the person she cherished didnโt want anything to do with her.Another thought came to Kristineโs mind, telling Alexander about the pregnancy. But there were doubts as well. She imagined how he would react since she wasted time in letting him in on it. That could be another problem and she was definitely not ready for more.โA step at a time' sh

โHow long have you known about it?โ Alexander broke the silence. Then he paused and thought it over how he could trust the pregnancy was his considering the fact Kristine had been playing a double agent in his affairs, there might just be a loophole in this one too. โAnd how am I to believe its mine?โ He added. His expression gave away nothing about the excitement and anger brewing within him.Both Martelli and Victor buried their heads in their hands on hearing his last question. And as for Camille, she had disgust written all over, she looked like she would puke any moment.โI never knew my brother to be this trashy.โ She said in disgust.โMy sister would not put my life on the line eitherโฆ no matter what the plan entails.โ Alexander said, a few tear drops rolled down his cheek.Camille was broken at the sight of Alexander, her lips moved but no words came out.โSo answer me, how am I to believe that someone whoโs been double-dealing, is carrying my own child?โ he requested.โItโs yo

โThe marriage between your parents, was more like a business deal.โ Alexander started. โThe Trapani family were on top for a long time and after maintaining their position during a very bloody timeframe, they were running short of soldiers. Caruso on the other hand had what the Trapani lacked, but could never have a shot at their position and although they chose to distance themselves from the conflict, they could not refuse the juicy offer when it came; a large portion of the cake.Caruso was asked to join forces with the Trapani and when all was done, they would get a twenty five percent from all dealings. Considering how deals go sour, they opted for a better assurance and for that reason the marriage was proposed.Elena Caruso was offered to Luca Trapani for wife, a union that saw two children born, with only one of them belonging to Luca.Prior to the arrangement, both Luca and Elena were involved in different relationships.

Alexander, Francisco and Victor were seated in a Alexanderโs study. The three men looked so fresh one would not know they had just gone through a stressful period these past days.โWhat would you do now?โ Alexander asked Francisco.โWell, something I should have done long ago. Probably put people to oversee some things so I can live the life I always wanted.โโWhat life if I may ask?โ Alexander seemed curious.โExplore.โ Francisco replied โI always wanted to travel round the world, go wine tasting, try new food, stuff like that. I actually have a bucket listโโNo troubles?โ Victor asked.โNot at all. No troubles.โ Francisco responded, smiling.โAnyway, I would do the same if I was in your shoesโ Victor said as he lifted his bottle of beer to his lip.โMaybe you can beโ Francisco teasedโHow?โ Victor seemed interested.โA change of name would do.โ Francisco suggested.Victor turned to Alexander with raised brows like he was seeking validation.โFeel free.

Kristine woke up feeling weak and having blurred vision. She laid back and shut her eyes for some time in an attempt to correct her vision. It turned out she had to stay that way much longer as it was a side effect from the medication she was given, unknown to her. As it wore off, she regained her sight and noticed she was in her room. She turned to her side and saw Camille bundled up in a chair just by her bed.She sat up at the side of her bed and stared at her friend who was fast asleep. Camille was probably exhausted from the stress of the recent event, so Kristine thought.Kristine could not recall how she ended up at home. The last thing she remembered was getting into the vehicle with Alexander and Victor. โCamille?โCamille did not respond. She was still fast asleep.Kristine exhaled. โCamille?โ this time she was louder.Camille jerked and came awake. โYou are up.โ She said, rubbing her eyes with the back of her hands.โYeah.โ Kristine smiled as Camille rushed to hug her.โHow

Octavio ignored all the road signs as he drove furiously back to home, he did not even care about the cops who trailed him for over speeding although they turned back after they recognized his vehicle. He had just escaped with his life from a dangerous place and he needed his wrist tended to as soon as possible. It felt like his vein was severed as the bleeding was yet to stop even though he had strapped it with a piece of clothing.Octavio got to the gate and honked before it was opened. He did not even spend a second to curse at the men stationed there like he usually did whenever they made him wait as even for a second.He stopped in front of the house and hurriedly came off, strode straight to his bedroom without minding anyone or saying a word.Octavio quickly opened his safe and began taking out large wads of cash, his gun and a few passports. He stuffed everything in a little bag and made for his office where he took out his first aid kit and started tending to his wrist.When

โI love the nerves.โ Octavio said at the top of his voice โYou know, coming here like this.โAlexander approached him, hands in the air in a surrender pose and in one of his hands, he held a briefcase which supposedly contained the documents Octavio requested.Alexander stopped a few meters from Octavio. He knew the place was surrounded as he had seen a few men in strategic positions as he came in.โI presume my stuff are in that briefcase?โAlexander couldnโt place exactly, Octavioโs mood. If it was excitement or anxiety, he could not tell. โIts all in here.โ He brought down his hands and tapped on the briefcase. โnow where is she?โโDonโt be in a hurry yet. How am I to believe that briefcase holds exactly what I requested?โ Octavio asked.โMistrust.โ Alexander noted.Octavio smiled โcanโt help itโ he opened his hands like he wanted to give a hug โI experienced it right here on this spot.โโAnd he was right not to trust you if my memory serves me right.โ Alexander replied.โYeah thatโ

โIt feels weird you know, this request of hisโ Camille said as she bit into an apple she took out of the bowl on Alexanderโs study table.โI feel same way about it like you do, but itโs a window we have to take. Especially with what is at stake.โ Victor said.โYou donโt get it.โ Camille said โWhy would he risk leaving the safety of his house, to come get something he obviously canโt keep?โVictor frowned at Camilleโs question. It was one worth consideration because Octavio was a self conscious person who will never venture into anything that would put his life at risk. Moreover, it was the same warehouse location he set Octavio on his heels so he had serious doubts Octavio would show up except he had the place rigged. โNow I think about it, this is a bad idea.โ Victor said.โA bad idea?โ Francisco asked โwhich?โโThis whole exchange thing with Octavio.โ Victor answered.โWe are moving on with it.โ Francisco turned towards Alexander โyes?โ he had this expectant look on his face.Alexand

โSomeone get me Jeff immediately!โ Octavio yelled at his men, who were obviously clueless as to where Jeff was. They knew his place in the city and have been there a number of times already, but he was not yet home. His neighbors last saw him three days ago, the same day Octavio saw him last.It was quite difficult for them to make any conclusion because none of them was aware of the cabin's existence. It used to be his refuge when things were a little bit clumsy, but now it was his grave.While he was still at it, the gate opened and a police vehicle drove in. It was Captain Harryโs vehicle. Octavio already had a number of encounters with him and so he could recognize him or his vehicle once within distance. The vehicle came to a stop and Captain Harry stepped out, along with two men who were casually dressed with police jackets.โTo what do I owe this unpleasant visit?โ Octavio meant to sound rude. Although he was right by addressing the visit as unpleasant because he had never up t

There was a knock on the door. Jeff wasnโt expecting anyone at that time of the night, but considering the fact his place was well secured, he answered the door.โWho is there?โ Jeff's coarse voice flowed through the communicator at the door.โPackage from Octavio.โJeff thought for a moment. Octavio never sent packages, instead he texted and whoever had the package met him to pick it up. Since it was way past bedtime, Octavio would never take calls. It was his way.โOctavio never sends packages.โ Jeff said. The person stood in a way the security cam could not pick his face, making it difficult for Jeff to make out who it was. โLook at the camera just above you. I need to see your face.โFrancisco wore a wig and thicker eyebrows. He was no stranger to disguise as he had used it severally in these situations. He stared straight into the security camera and also held the little box in the view of the camera too.Jeff hesitated for a while. It was still difficult to believe, but if it wa

They already had an idea of how bad it was from the roadblock and now there was a heavy police presence at the gate.Robert took the group past the gate and beyond the yellow tape. He was the one who texted Alexander while they were at the bar. He had already tried reaching out to Martelli before Alexander but couldnโt because the network at his place was jammed.โWhereโs he?โ Alexander askedRobert pointed at an ambulance and the group immediately hurried towards it.Martelli was being stitched up.โHe refused to be taken to the hospital.โ Robert said.โYeah I know.โ Said Alexander โhe got trust issues.โMartelli frowned at Alexander.โDoes it hurt?โ Alexander asked.โNoโฆ it stings.โ Martelli replied. โThey would need more to put me to sleep.โThe group laughed.โWhat happened here?โ Victor asked.โI had to take a nap after my driver decided to forget his duties, with the hope of waking up much later

Martelli had a meeting scheduled for much later in the evening. Rather than bore himself out with the news, he opted for a stroll. When his driver had not arrived after a long wait and his mobile was unreachable, Martelli decided to take a nap. He set his alarm for 9:30pm and ordered his house staff not to disturb him except it was something extremely important.About twenty minutes after Martelli had laid his head on his pillow for his short refreshing nap, he suddenly woke up. It was as if someone tapped him, but judging by the time interval between when he felt the tap and when he woke up, the person couldnโt have left the bedroom. He reached for his gun under his pillow and turned off the safety.Martelli first went to the door and examined the knob, it was not tampered with. He proceeded to check around the room, but everything was just normal. โMaybe it was a dream' he thought as he went towards the window to take a peek outside.The evening weather was perfect but the eerie sile
