AuthorLeonardo BernardiThe door knocked and Blaze entered inside. Victor was already present. Although it was cold outside but the room heater seeped warmth in his body. With measured steps he walked near Victor.Leo cocked his head to the side, staring at Blaze for some time, then diverted his gaze and faced Victor.With one raised brow he signalled him to start “As far my sources the Ivansov are planning something big this time. They wants to take the coastal route and secretly made connection to land their shipments with the help of Mr. Massimo. He is the in-charge officer of all incoming and outgoing cargos through waterways. “Victor reported.Leo slammed his fist on the table before furiously pushing his chair away and standing up.“Make sure that they get no aids in this matter. At any cost those fuckers shouldn’t get shipping licenses. Set an appointment with the honourable minister of waterways. I will personally have a talk with him.” His glares could kill anyone on the spot.And it would be a lie to say his men weren’t affected by such outburst. His rage can send anyone into a fit of frenzy.Along with the guards inside the room, both Victor and Blaze feared him right now.Victor swallowed and bobbed his head, a gesture of accepting his order. “What if he refuses to follow our instructions?”Leo’s face was stone hard and eyes as cold as ice. When it comes to business and power he turns into barbarian? The worst of men.“He will. After all no one wants to see their kidswrapped in a bloodshed?” He chuckled viciously. His eyes fitted between both his commanders. They clearly understood what he meant.“And what about you?” interrogate Leo, his glare fixed on Blaze.“I patrolled all the casinos and they are running well without any complain. This time we will have a profitable share. “Blaze spoke respectfully placing some papers on the table which contains minute details about his task.Leo nodded, losing the angry look. He grabbed the papers and studied thoroughly.“You both can leave now.” With an expressionless face he dismissed them.Both quietly left closing the door.Leo sat back on his chair and dragged the wheel below closer near the table. Taking a deep breath, he tried to calm himself. His eyes shut down.Just then a knock followed with the nurse, the one whom doctor Sam allotted sauntered inside closer near the table. Her eyes downcast, hands clasping a tray filled with antiseptic, bandages, some tablets and a glass of water.Grabbing the antiseptic cream, she walked near him.Without waking him, the nurse leaned down, her fingers reaching near his shirt button from the top, intention to unbutton it.Feeling the presence of the nurse, Leo snapped open his eyes. She glanced up and her eyes met the hard blueish steel orbs scowling at her.She gasped and gulped in fear. “Sir, it’s time for your medicine. Please sir, let me help you” She almost begged under his deadly glare.‘Let me help you.’Those word flashed a face in front of his eyes.' Wait. Let me help you.’It was the face of the same girl whom he met two weeks ago in that dark night.It wasn’t like his mind was thinking about her for the first time. No. Every moment, doesn't matter if he was free or busy planning and plotting, her innocent big forest green eyes stares back at him.Fuck…fuck…. fuck.No matter how much he tries hard but his mind would every time drift back to that night. Precisely to the girl who saved his life without any hidden motive, or interest. How she took him in her house. It was a selfless act on her part.Can women act selfless?Till date he has only met women who gives company keeping intake their selfish motive.“Sir?” The voice of the nurse brought him back to the reality.” Can I?”With a curt node he signalled to continue her work.Receiving his green signal, the nurse got busy with her work.With scrutinizing gaze Leo noticed how the nurse was attending his almost healed injuries. It was a part of her job.Her fearful eyes were focused on his wound.Just then his mind again clouded with the face of the girl. Even her face was filled with fear that night.The only difference is that the nurse feared him, aware of his merciless nature and that small girl feared for his well being.The nurse’s face hold professionalism. Like she was paid and at any cost she needs to complete her task without any mistake. On the other hand, the small girl cared for his safety, his wound, his pain. Like it was hard for her to see him in pain.When was the last time someone took care of him?He couldn’t remember. Till date no one cared for him.No one had so much anxiety seeing him wounded. His grandfather did care for him. But it was a different thing.“Sir. Your medicine.” The nurse forwarded the tray ofmedicine and waited in apprehension.Again, his thoughts were interrupted by the annoying voice of the nurse.He composed himself, took the medicine and gulped down some water from the glass. Her task was complete.Without any further word she vacant the room.Now his office room felt eerie silent. He rested his head against the edge of the chair and stared at the false celling.One thing he wasn’t able to understand why was he thinking about her. All the time. Every second, every minute.What was that kept him captivated with herthought.Simple. Plain. Innocent.And then his heart whispered. ‘Caring’.His eyes snapped wide open. He wore his shirt, his jacket and pulled the shelve of the left drawer. There lays his gun. He tugged it behind his back pant and rose up from his seat.With long speedy strides he reached the parking slot.Once seated in the driver seat he ignites the engine. Driving for an hour he reached the old church.Swirling the steering wheel he took a left turn and parked his car a few distance away from the lane.****Please guys, support me with gems.

Chapter 10 Author Leonardo Bernardi. Has he gone insane? How can he act so reckless? What was he doing here without proper arms and without a single guard? All alone. In this scorching afternoon. Clasping his fingers tightly around the steering wheel he was enraged beyond imagination. What an impulsive act? Something was definitely wrong with him. Otherwise, he won't have acted the way he is doing right now. Frustrated, infuriated with himself for his own irrational behaviour, he banged the steering wheel pronouncing a few curses in-between his gritted teeth. There was a voice in the back of his head nagging to take such an illogical move on his part. To see her for once. What the fucking hell!!! He wasn't some random guy to park his car beside the by lane of a girl like some.... some brainless, foolish man who has lost his mind after a girl. Just because she showed care and kindness towards him? So what? It was so unlike him to drive all the way for some girl. Never had

His eyes shone as he forwarded the red clothes in his palm towards Fernando who very cautiously took in his palm like some valuable diamonds which indeed is. Each diamond is of 20 carat, an exceptional one. Fernando concluded after examining minutely. He took out a wooden box from the drawer below his table and carefully placed each one inside it. After that the dialled the pin digit and locked the box. "The Mexican cartel, David is one of my most important client. We have done trading for many years. But since my daughter is going to be the Queen of the Italian's, I thought to strengthen our relationship with the first preference as a gift. After all I'm giving everything only to my son in law." Mateo shrugged as if it not a big deal for him. "Of course....of course...you know how

Now onwards you aren't a kid anymore. If you utter one more word, I swear I won’t attend your little party. Now sit quietly and let me do my work.” Elsa warned the poor soul who sealed her lips fearing her. She knew her friend. If she says something then she means it. Fifteen minutes passed staying in the same position with closed eyes. “My sweet Ana. Open your eyes now. “Elsa said with excitement in her voice. “Oh lord!” Ana exclaimed watching her reflection in the mirror. She looked different with the light make up. Her forest green eyes were defined with liner and her lips were tinted with peach shade matching her grown as per
Chapter 13 Author. " So, we are done with the deal." Michael said with pleased tone shaking his hand with Fernando and then moved for a shake with Leonardo. "Rest of the payment will be done once the shipment crosses our land. My men will bring you the money." Leonardo said and stood up. Along with him rest of the men got up and meeting adjourned for tonight. The meeting was done in his hotel. Now they were all moving out of the VIP cabin towards the exit door. The guards got active following behind them. Within few minutes they were in the basement, moving inside their cars. Victor took the driver seat and ignite the engine once Leo settled inside. He took a reverse gear and speed up when he saw a female figure kneeling few feet away. With an abrupt halt he pressed the brake. Victor being an assassin mistook Ana to be a threat. " Boss, target." He pulled out his gun. Leonardo was looking at her with shock and unbelief. He wasn't expecting to find her there. Once his heart
Chapter 14 Author. "You never plan to fall in love. It just happens. And then you are doomed!!!" Leonardo Bernardi. "Leo!!!! What was that?" Fernando growled seeking explanation, walking along with him inside the hall. Leonardo knew what he was referring to yet ignored and walked further towards the mini bar on the other side. Pouring a glass of whisky, he sipped down his parched throat. Fernando glared at him before picking a glass from the counter tray, he grabbed the bottle and poured a glass for himself. The sight of her slapping him flashed and Leo's lips turned into a vicious and insidious smile. He gulped the last sip of drink in one go. His mind flashed the kissing scene he had few hours back. There is a glint reflecting in his bluish eyes as he stared ahead. He went too far for her liking. When he felt her soft luscious lips against his warm ones, he lost every fucking control. He wanted nothing more but to keep continuing driving pleasure from those suck able lips. F
Chapter 15 Author. Ana. Run…. Run…………Keep running. She told herself. And that's what her legs did. Kept running. The surrounding was covered with darkness. Trees like ghost stayed rooted either side on her way as she kept passing, her movement speedy. She doesn’t know where her feet were taking her but one thing, she knew was she needs to run and run. And Escape. Just then her eyes looked on the ground and the next instance she fell in the pit of never-ending darkness. She was sliding through the darkness moving down as if some negative energy pulling her towards itself. Trrriiiiiiiinnnnngggggggg!!! Trrriiiiiiiinnnnngggggggg!!! Ana flew her eyes open and the next with a jerk she sat down on the bed panting heavily. Her eyes landed on the front window with curtains. Bright sunlight of early morning trespassing through the narrow space between the curtains. What was that? A..A nightmare!!! She concluded and massaged her templates. Her finger pads wiped the sweat beads from h
Chapter 16 Author Something below her body kept moving in a moderate pace. It’s the car in which she was kidnapped. She has no strength of her own. Like a lifeless body she kept lying in an awkward position inside the car. Though the drug had consumed her strength but her senses weren’t completely lost yet. “Yes, boss...It’s done...... Okay boss......Okay boss, send me the address. Now. Okay boss.” A man’s voice broke the calmness of the night. “What did he say?” Another voice was heard. “He wants to deport this girl to the Mexican. And worst is we have to leave right now.” The first man spoke in annoyance. “Only one girl to Mexican?” The other man asked with doubt. "yes". After that Ana didn’t hear anything. With her dopey head, from their conversation she understood one thing. They are taking her out of the country. Why? Why they are taking her out of the country? What has she done??? Even her body was numb but her senses were still working, yet faintly. She could f

It was obvious to happen working eight hours with the Irish. The Diamonds which Mateo as an alliance without any security deposit gave his grandfather were sold to the Irish merchant with a net profit of five million. Victor leaned back in his chair while Blaze drew out his cell phone and checked before scooping back inside his coat pocket. Victor with his calculative eyes glanced at Blaze who seemed somewhat tensed then his eyes flipped back at his boss who seemed to be in a light mood. It’s still a shock for Victor to see his boss being smitten for a small girl to this extend. The man who never let his guards off and yet he was slayed brutally by none other than a small girl. She has fascinated the devil and turned him into lovesick Romeo. She made his icy cold heart warm up with f
