MONALISA'S POV,It had been three days since I came back from Choco yet none of those days had passed without me worrying about my revenge, as the days drew near my anxiety grew, sending me into a state of great calculation and intense reservation,That evening as I settled on my couch, the buzzing sound of my phone interrupted my chains of thought,"Yes Missy," I answered the phone, placing it on my ear,"The wolf calls," I heard her say through the phone,"I'll be there in ten," I responded and hung up the call, uninterested in any further conversation, these past days I had channeled all my time towards strategizing, I had avoided the least form of distraction as much as I could, including spending much time with my son Antonio.I got up immediately and made my way to Don Pablo's mansion, upon my arrival at the hall, every member of the gang was already present except Don Pablo and his aids, Pascal who oversaw the camp after Bruno left, and those whose job were to stand guard at th
BRUNO JOE'S POV,Apart from some new faces that stood guard at the various posts, nothing seemed to have changed much after so many years of being away, I arrived at Don Pablo's mansion that evening to find him standing at the entrance, closely accompanied by Pascal, whose features conveyed the hatred in his heart, and a few other guards, a company of old acquaintances and foes, each exuding the energy that hung over our relationships,The smile on Don Pablo's face broadened into a wide grin, Immediately I stepped out of the car, "Welcome back my boy," he announced in great exuberance, his tone rang with the pride in his heart, With his hands outstretched he wobbled towards me, the sound of his laughter rich from victory, as satisfaction twinkled in his eyes, "It's good to have you back my boy," he proclaimed, as he drew me into his embrace,Unwrapping his hands from me, he studied my features, "you look older, I should have kept you by my side," he said, with concern visible on his
SylviaIt had been four days since my father imprisoned me. Even though he made sure I was taken care of, the inability to communicate with Antonio during this time felt like torture. I was cut off from the outside world, with no access to my phone, internet, or any means of connecting with others.As I lay in bed, facing the wall, I heard the door creak open. I didn't bother to look, assuming it was just one of the maids bringing in a meal or retrieving an untouched tray. In my loneliness, I simply couldn't muster the energy to care."Here," said the unmistakable voice of my father. However, I was too consumed by sadness to be interested in whatever he had brought for me. My mind was preoccupied, and I knew that no gift could alleviate my gloom. The only solution to my misery was Antonio—the one person who held the key to my freedom from this emotional torture."Sylvia, darling, you're breaking my heart," my father continued, trying to manipulate my emotions. Little did he know that

I asked Marcus, who was my trusted personal assistant and only friend, even though I knew I could always rely on Marcus' impeccable information, I just wanted to be sure I wasn't basking on mere speculation."You can trust me on that Bobby, you know how exact my findings can be, especially on things like this," his tone tingled with the intent in his heart as he spoke, which we both knew of,"There's no way I'm making a mistake on that," he added with a smirk that indicated we were on the same page, the confidence on his face spoke of the surety in his heart, I knew he was correct, just that, I never expected his return, As I listened to him, my mind began to travel,"In fact," his voice came again, snapping me out of my thoughts, "the news about his return has spread to
ANTONIO'S POV,Upon my arrival at school that morning, my disinterest in partaking in any lecture led me to the sports complex, I wanted to be alone, I needed a place to think and put the pieces together,I found myself getting increasingly worried about my relationship with Sylvia, since the last time we chatted, I hadn't heard from her, even though she had assured me of her love for me, I couldn't stop myself from wondering how long we were going to continue like that before being accepted by our parents,As I stood there, consumed in my thoughts about what to do to make things right, a familiar voice snapped me out of my thoughts, as I tried to wrap my head around who it might be, I was shocked by the sight that met my eyes,"Surprised?" She asked, with a wide grin on her face, her excitement was undeniable as she closed up the distance between us, sending me into a state of daze,I didn't know how to react to the sight of Susan, after so many years of being apart without any conve
ANTONIO'S POV,My mind kept swirling with the thought of what had happened in school and my encounter with Susan earlier that day, the thought of what she was capable of doing and the extent she could go, got me feeling jittery,As I lay on my bed that afternoon, I couldn't shake off the feeling that lurked at the corner of my heart, deep within me I couldn't deny the fact that I was frightened by her audacity and what her desperation could make her resolve to,The incident from our past was one I was never going to forget, how she had set up our playmate and threatened to have her killed if she did not keep her distance from me, as the scene from that day lingered, I felt the same cold sensation I had felt that day when she had brought out a pistol gun and aimed it at her, "Keep off from him you swine or I put a snuff in your head," she had said adamant to her course, it took the intervention of her father to make her retreat from her course, and as I snapped out from it, I knew I h
DON PABLO'S POV, Seeing Bruno comfortably seated beside me filled me with a great sense of contentment, the fact that he was going to lead the heist expelled all my worries, My eyes darted to all the faces present in the first meeting, as I attempted to weigh the confidence in their heart, My voice rang with great exuberance as I instructed the team about the forthcoming mission, it was an expression of how excited I was, I couldn't deny where it came from, since I had known Bruno was the man in charge, my certainty about the success of the mission knew no bounds, "My intel has informed me about the distribution of Pesos," I stated glancing at the faces that stared intently at me, "As you already know, you're expected to carry out the operation in the sparsely populated areas, and you'd all agree with me that will be right here..." I said, pointing at the spot in the map, while they nodded in response, "Or what do you think Bruno?" I inquired, turning towards Bruno whose gaze
Antonio"s POV. A smile escaped from my lips the moment Silvia knocked at the door. I didn't need anyone to tell me she was the one since she had called earlier to inform me about her visit. It always made me feel better to see the one lady my heart had chosen despite all the obstacles. Even though my mother would never welcome any Don Winfold family member as one of us. The moment I saw her, I wrapped my hands around her in excitement, "I miss you so much, Silvia," I said with sincerity. "I miss you more babe," she chuckled as I carried her in my arms into the apartment. "I love you so much, Silvia," I said and tried to kiss her but she shrugged. "How could you have kept that from me?” Silvia asked and I scoffed. Our love had been the both of us secret since it was never going to be acceptable by either of our families who were once best friends but were now complete Rivals.
