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
MONALISA PARKER'S POV,Just like the Bruno I had always remembered, he hadn't changed a bit, I found him standing under the palm tree as was his manner whenever he was pissed, The sight of it made me shake my head in displeasure, as it brought back memories I had been trying to forget,With my fists clenched and my blood boiling, I shoved those memories behind me, my feet were hastened by the determination that coursed through my veins as I matched to where he was standing, Even though standing right beside him was the last thing I wanted, I knew I had to put up with the show until I had accomplished my mission, drawing in a quick breath to still my raging heart, I forced a small smile to my face, and said to him,"I knew I'd find you here," My tone light and playful as I spoke, Expectedly, he wasn't surprised by my presence, neither was he oblivious of my coming, he had always been meticulous, his eagle's eyes always watchful to be taken by surprise, but from the expression on hi

MONALISA PARKER'S POV,Due to the abrupt interruption of the meeting yesterday, another meeting was held to continue from where Bruno had left the previous day,Right at the heart of the meeting was Don Pablo who gave out the instructions concerning the operation,"Right here," He said pointing at the mark in the map, while everyone's gaze followed the direction of his hand,"This is where you're going to execute the mission," He added, his voice ringing with the authority that left no place for objection,"From that spot to the nearest police checkpoint is twenty-five minutes on car, that means you have less than ten minutes to carry out the operation," He continued, His gaze flew to everyone who was seated quietly listening to him as he spoke, as if he was about to transfer the confidence in his heart to us,Enjoying the silence that had crept upon us all, he continued, his voice ringing with great exuberance as he spoke, "Like I had said the other day, Bruno would take the hit, br
BRUNO JOE'S POV,Fuelled by the anger that coursed through me, I marched, straight to my apartment, my steps heavy as they bore the weight of my pain, my fists clenched, The scene from the day of Martin's murder clung unto me, like a ghost hunting me down, it felt like yesterday, so real, the picture of Martin's lifeless body over everywhere I turned, As I dwelled on what I had just heard, a renewed pain tugged into my heart, filling me with both rage and a thirst for revenge, I was overwhelmed by a great sense of guilt, it pierced me even to my very soul, I was convinced that Bobby had taken down Martins in an attempt to get to me,I wanted to rid it of my heart, I wanted to tear my heart out and stop the pain that tormented me, but as it stretched on, I knew nothing could take the pain away, except justice, justice for my friend Martins.Unable to sit still, I dialed Don Winfold's house number, my lips quivered from pain as I waited patiently for them to receive the call, after wh
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. "Your reaction right now is the exact reason I never told you, to avoid making you worry,” I said remor
Sylvia's pov. "Fuck.... Sylvia," He muttered in a husky voice as I pulled my lips away from his cock and watched in satisfaction as he slurped his juice all over the bed.All I wanted was to pleasure him and make him moan. With my stepbrother's loathing for anything and everyone associated with Don Pablo, I didn't mind sacrificing everything for our love, even though it seemed so unattainable. His animosity toward Antonio's mother, Monalisa Parker, was more severe. To have the tension between our families ruin the moment was the last thing I desired. Being that this would be our first sexual experience, for a few minutes we were both confused and had no idea what to do. "I thought you made research already," He teased and I chuckled. "I guessed I only remembered how to give a blow job," I said shyly. "How about we see an erotic movie together? " I nodded voluntarily and watched him walk into the kitchen with his dangling cock. He got two empty glasses, a bottle of juice, and a
Sylvia's pov, The Next morning, the joy in my heart was short-lived as I sneaked back into the house and saw the look of sadness on my cousin's face. Her expression was one of fear and worry, and I knew immediately that something was wrong. "Your brother Is here," She spoke to me in a hushed voice, barely audible, I knew what that meant. It meant I was in trouble, I felt my heart sink as I realized the gravity of the situation."Where is he?" I asked calmly and she pointed to the living room. As I walked into the living room, I saw my brother Bobby standing near the window, flanked by a few of his men. He turned to look at me, and his face was expressionless. I knew that look, and it meant trouble. My heart was pounding in my chest, and I tried to keep my composure as I walked towards him. "Where have you been?" He questioned and I swallowed hard as I tried to compose a few words. "I took a drive to cool off," I stuttered and Bobby smiled as he walked up to me. "You went out for
