SERENA RICCARDO’S POV
“Any news on Paulo? I asked Armando
“ I did send some men to get him but he is not within the axis of this house” Armando said“ And his apartment?“Not there”“ I see. Then he’s either hiding away or trying to run away. Either of these two if definitely taking place in his girlfriend’s apartment”“ And why would he hide there?“Cause he’s stupid. Yes, he’s good at coding and decoding passwords but when it comes to stuffs like this, he’s got no brain to think”“ So we’re heading to his girlfriend’s apartment?“Yes but let me drop these inside. Meanwhile get some men and get the car ready to haunt Paulo down”“Yes boss. Right away boss”“You’re so dead Paulo”I finally joined my men in the car and we left for Paulo's hideout, his girlfriend’s house, Emma. We arrived at Emma’s house. I stood aside and asked my men to go search the house. Paulo and Emma were taken unawares. They had packed up their stuffs to leave the next day.
Armando dragged Paulo and Emma along while the other guys grabbed their luggage and followed Armando and met with me. Paulo and Emma joined our car and we stopped at an alley.
We got out and Armando made Paulo and Emma kneel before me. Paulo showed no remorse and never apologized. I pulled out my revolver and pointed it at Paulo. Humans understand the language of fun than other languages. I could clearly see the fear in Paulo’s eyes.“I need just a reason not to shoot you” I said to Paulo
“Don’t shoot him please” Emma pleaded with me.“Why not? I asked“He did this to help me out so please don’t shoot him”“Then I should shoot you instead” I quickly pointed the gun at Emma who fretted..“Please don’t shoot. Don’t kill me” Emma pleaded with her eyes closed“You robbed the gang Paulo. Why? If you needed some money why didn’t you approach me and talk to me about it? You took some money from my safe, money kept for an important project. You sure do have a death wish which I can grant you. Why ain’t you saying anything? I said to Paulo.“What do you want me to say? Beg you? No way. I rather die than beg a beast like you”“Be.. beast? Me? Good grief. He called me beast. Wanna see how beasts behave? You stole from me and without being remorseful, you called me a beast? No injury on your body will hurt you but let’s see how you’ll feel watching your lover die” I pointed my gun again at Emma leaving Paulo scared.“Don’t shoot her! Paulo yelled“You’re yelling? Well… I don’t like taking a long time. Let’s do this quickly and leave. Good bye Paulo and pretty lady” I pulled the trigger and shot Emma on her shoulder.Paulo screamed and I quickly turned and shot Paulo on his knees and his left shoulder. Paulo fell and groaned in pains. I walked to Emma and pulled her hair.
“Paulo… how does it feel? Nice right? Give me the stuff” I said to Armando.
“Is that cocaine? Don’t use it on her please”“Calm down. It’s just chloroform” I applied some on a handkerchief which I used on Emma making her unconscious. “Get the girl and let’s leave” I said to Armando“And where do you think you are taking her to? Paulo asked, groaning in pains.“Don’t worry, I promise you, she’ll be in heaven. Unfortunately, you two won’t meet because I’m sending you to hell. Tell the devil that Serena Riccardo the mafia Lord sent you” I said and fired the last shot at him. I had shot him few inches away from his heart.I had no intention of killing Paulo and Emma. Just wanted to put them in pains and make them suffer. I had my men watch him until he became unconscious. They grabbed him and drove to the hospital. They dropped him and Emma at the hospital door and reported back to me. I was able to receive the money Paulo had stolen from me.MATTEO ALESSANDRO’S POV
I had gone to visit a friend at some neighborhood and I decided to take a walk down the neighborhood and came to an alley and stopped when I heard a weird noise. I heard voices, sounded like one was being held captive. I decided to take a close and prolly see if someone’s life is in danger.
I could barely see anything as it was pretty dark. I hid away and listened to their conversation. Seems like someone stole from the other who supposedly is the boss. I felt they might be a gang from their conversation and the threats given to the other and I feared for his life as his boss intends to shoot him.I heard gun shots and quickly covered my mouth with my hand and took a deep breath. Another shot was fired and then I saw two people leave the alley, a lady and a man. She turned and said something to someone and I was able to see her face clearly as she was out in the light. I was shocked when I realized that the lady whom I had seemingly saved her life at the mall was the perpetrator of such evil. She actually killed someone. She left with the man who had carried a young lady on his shoulder and dumped her in the car trunk, who I think is probably dead. They got into the car and drove off.Few minutes later two other guys came out of alley carrying a body of a guy who I could swear to is dead. I couldn't believe what I just witnessed. I witnessed a murder take place. I quickly left and returned to my friend's house and bid him goodbye. I got into my car and drove home. I quickly rushed into my room and shut the door. My body was practically shaking in fear, as if it was winter season. I was so speechless and for a moment I stared into the air, pretty lost in thoughts.
I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. Then I had a flashback about the incident that took place at the alley. A knock came at my door twice which I didn't hear. My door flung open and Claudia walked in and touched my shoulder, startling me. She saw how terrified I was and held my hand."Are you okay? Claudia asked
" Ye..yes...ju..just.. exhausted" I stuttered." Are you sure? Cause you look like one who just saw a ghost"" That would have been better"" For real?"Yeah. I'm so tired. I need to take a nice shower and get some rest"" Okay, buy Eldo called to know if you got home safe and to know why you left the way you did"" Uh...I remembered that I had an important file I forgot to attend to and I'll be needing it for tomorrow's meeting, so I hurried back home to take care of it"" Okay, but he said you went for a walk alone, without him, and came back looking terrified. Did something happen?"Pfft..not at all. I'm okay. I'm fine. Now run along. I have to have my bath and do some important work"" Fine then. Goodnight"" Goodnight" I exhaled the moment Claudia left my room. " Thank goodness she's gone"I left for the bathroom and had my bath.
The next morning, I had my breakfast and returned back to my room. I walked in and shut the door and quickly recalled her mentioning her name last night, Serena Riccardo. I grabbed my phone and quickly searched for her name on one of the search engines and her name appeared. I let out a scream when I scrolled down and realized who she was. What have I gotten myself into?
She's a bloody Mafia, most dreaded and heartless mafia, a being without a soul, a demon. The way she was described showed that she was more cruel than the devil. Now I know why she had a gun and was able to murder two people last night and felt no remorse or whatsoever, and I already had an encounter with a beast like her.I sat on my bed and read through the articles about her. She uses gun to get contracts and win cases, breaks the law and bends the law to suit her. Everyone is so scared of her. Once she's double crossed, she shows no mercy. She kills and disposes bodies wherever she feels like, buries people alive, destroy houses or take over lands to build her casinos, night clubs, hotels, tax evasion, a lot of crimes and she has never gone in for any. Isn't she devil? No one can ever arrest and detain her. No judge can convict her. She's so powerful. She's not a politician but she weighs more power than they do. Everyone feared her but I hate her.I just realized that after reading those articles on her, I wasn't scared of her, rather, I was disgusted by what she did and I hated her, her being, her existence, her everything. I wished never to come across a demon like her again cause I might loose my cool and take the gun from her and shoot her. People like her shouldn't exust and don't deserve to live.I dropped my phone and left for the bathroom. I and my bath and got ready for work. I placed the files in my bag and left for the car. I got in and drove off. I couldn't stop thinking about Serena. Apart from Rosa, no other woman has had an effect on me, and now Serena, I felt so disappointed when I found out who she was. Honestly, after meeting her at the mall that day, I hoped to meet her again and know if she was okay and wasn't being bothered by the guy who wanted to shoot her. But right now, I hate myself for interfering in her matter. I wished that guy actually shot her, she deserves to dieSERENA RICCARDO’S POVI arrived at the casino and took a tour around it. I went up to my usual place and watched people play like their lives depends on it. I signaled Armando to bring Lia to me. Lia was one of those whom I hired to make sure all the money placed to win in a game returns back to me. Lia appeared before me. She hasn’t been carrying out her job effectively. I made Armando remind her of her job. Lia apologized for not being effective and left to meet one of our usual clients.Lia placed her bet and I watched her win all rounds. Lia gathered the money and tried to leave but was stopped by one of the players who called her out for cheating all the time. Lia tried to break free from him but his grip on her was strong. I watched very closely and when I realized what was going on, I picked up my gun and rushed over to Lia.“Let go of her hand” I said to the man“No! He replied.“Just on the count of threw and if your hand is still on her, you won’t be using that hand anymore”
SERENA'S POVI dialed Armando's number who picked up immediately"Keep the old lady safe until she returns the money. Good" I turned and saw my secretary standing behind me, shaking in fear. I smirked. I really love it when my staff fear me.I may be absent from the company but I know what goes in and out of my company. I returned back to my office and started off again with some files.An hour later, a young lady walked into my office a place a bag before me. She unzipped the bag and showed me the money in it. I got up from my seat and walked to her and bent a bit and took a closer look at the money. I sat on the couch, placed my legs on the table and leaned back. "How much is it? I asked her while I pulled my phone out from my pocket." The complete amount ma'am" She replied with fear showing in her voice" Really? I dialed Armando's number. " Armando, let the old hag go. Good"Agatha fell on her knees and thanked me for letting her mum go. She apologized again for taking such amo
MATTEO ALESSANDRO'S POVI was having a nice lunch with a friend of mine when I got a glimpse of someone staring at me. I became uncomfortable upon realizing who it was. I hurriedly finished up with my lunch and packed up immediately and left. I asked a Waiter to distract Serena while I hide away, I can't meet that devil again. I hid away and watched her search for me. Why in the world is she looking for me? Her car arrived and she got in and left. I got out of my hiding and met up with my friend and we left together for the car.I walked into my office and my secretary approached me with some invite for being nominated businessman of the year award. Quite a good news. I took it from her and asked her to go back to work. I went through it and quickly checked my email. I was sent a mail about it. I smiled and opened my laptop and began to work with it.Work hours ended and k returned home really exhausted from the day's event, and pretty famished. I requested mum to prepare something ni
SERENA’S POVI heard a knock at my door and left what I was doing to open the door. Armando was standing right outside my door with a package which he handed over to me. I quickly opened it and saw some invite which I read through it. Wow! Nominated again for businesswoman of the year which I know I’ll definitely win. I thanked him and asked him to leave. I placed the package in my drawer and continued with what I was doing.Armando and I arrived at the venue and went into the hall. Everyone turned and stared at us while we walked to our seats. I forced out a smile and sat down. Not long Mr handsome arrived at the hall with some man whom I guess is his father. They sat two tables away from us. I couldn’t take my eyes off him. Armando who realized that o was staring at me handsome called my attention back to what was going on here. The awards began and lucky ones received.The businessman of the award was given to mr handsome and I got the businesswoman of the year award. While deliver
MATTEO ALESSANDRO’S POVQuite a nice evening and a lovely day. The weather was nice and calm and I enjoyed a nice glass of juice while sitting at the terrace. I saw two cars drive into our house. Four hefty looking dudes came out of the cars and went in.The door bell rang and the maid answered and unlocked the door but was frightened when she saw them. She stepped aside and they walked in. One of them turned to her and asked her to announce their presence to everyone. The maid ran off immediately while they made their way into the living room. Dad was shocked to see such men in his house. One of them smiled at dad and sat down while the other three stood behind him. He crossed his legs and Lea Ed back. He pulled out a cigar and lit it and began to smoke.Claudia walked in coughing and was surprised to see them in our house. She quickly orderd him to stop smoking and leave. My mum who was in the kitchen heard Claudia’s voice getting loud quickly rushed out to check what was going on.
SERENA RICCARDO'S POV"Treat me nice while I'm still being nice to you" I said crossing my legs."Of course we will. Who's there? Get our guests some cookies and juice" Gemma ordered the maids." Cookies? Juice? Good grief. It's okay. I'm not having any of those now. Where's Matteo? I asked"And why do you ask? Did he do anything to you? Prolly owing you? Claudia cut in and had her seat. "You ain't welcomed here Serena"I quickly gave her a Stern look which frightened her, and I smirked on realizing that."Where's Matteo? He's at the office? Damn, I should have known. Well I brought some gifts for you all. Hey Armando, hand over the gifts to them, they'll like it"" Enough! a voice came like a thunder and I turned immediately and saw Matteo standing at the entrance of the living room. He was really furious to see us in his house. He walked to me in anger and knocked the gifts off the table and bent towards me."Get out! He yelled at me. " Leave my house! he pointed at the exit."Well.
SERENA RICCARDO'S POVA knock came at my door twice Andi unlocked it and saw Armando stand before me. I asked him in and sat on the bed while he sat on the couch. He waited patiently for me to have my bath. I know how mad he was for the way I was treated today at Matteo's house."Let's kidnap his sister" Armando suggested" What?"Yes. He'll be helpless and will definitely give into your request "" You think?"Boss, you've been into this, making people dance to your tune. He's no big deal"" Yes I know but I won't be kidnapping his sister cause he'll know I did it and probably do something stupid and that's not what I have in mind"" So, what do you want to do boss?"I know exactly what to do""And what's that boss?"I have a plan. I'll be poisoning his family"" What?"Yes. You'll have to bring Matteo to me. Send their favorite meal to them, poisoned meal. A poison with an antidote. Get the men to point guns at them.

I rushed to her and checked her for any injury but saw. I exhaled and hugged her. Claudia walked out of the kitchen with a glass of juice. I turned to her and called out her name. She was surprised to see me back. She dropped the juice and rushed over to me and gave me a tight hug.“You are here. Thank goodness. Where were you brother? Did she keep you hostage?
