There were about fifteen cars parked outside, with Leo men surrounding the cars, while others were still inside. I hoped silently that Leo didn't call them for protection. I felt it might be quite embarrassing for me and would likely draw more attention to us. Both on the roads and in the school.I was still peeking through the window, when the door opened and Leo step in briskly. I tried as much as possible pretend that I hadn't been peering, but there was no way I could possibly hide it. "Get prepared, my men would be escorting us to school." Just as I had thought, Leo had called his men for protection.To me, I felt it wasn't necessary and only shows that Leo was a bit scared. But I guess it was because, he knew his father was unpredictable and might likely do something worst. Leo wore his uniform and left the room while I prepared. When I got outside, I was treated like a queen, as Leo men followed me to the car which Leo was in. The moment the door opened, a wide smile appe
I was having a good moment with Clara when I received a call from my men, that my dad had attack us. I had to rush over to help them, hoping to meet my dad.As I got nearer to the house, I heard gun shot coming from inside. There were about five men standing outside with guns in their hands. When they saw me approaching, they began to shoot at me. Unfortunately for them, they weren't skillful in handling guns, I was a pro. I shot all of them while I was still inside my car. As I drew closer to the gate, I looked around making sure that none of my dad men was outside. After being satisfied, I went into the compound. There were about a dozen of corpse on the floor and more were still dropping dead. As I went further, I observed that most of them were my dad's men and I was pleased. I passed through a secret passage and got into the house.My men were trying as much as possible to stop the traitors from entering further. I saw Joe by a door, he was already injured, blood was gushi
It wasn't surprising that Danielle led me to the house where my dad has been hiding all this while, it was their plan all along. The location was quite a distance though, it was in the middle of a thick forest which wasn't familiar to me. I had to park my car by the side of the road, and walked to the building with Danielle. She was sweating profusely right now, she appeared to be weak and was loosing lot of blood. I didn't care less, she could die for all I care. As we got nearer, I pulled her in front of me, just in case there was anyone about to shoot. I would use her as my covering. The opened by itself, seems like it was being controlled from a room or something.Some of my dad's men were standing at different corners of the building, but no one dared to shoot. Maybe that was the instruction my dad had given to them. "Now, where is Clara?" I asked Danielle. She didn't respond, instead she kept on walking to a small building, behind the mansion. We finally got there and I i
CLARA'S POV :I kept on running with no destination, I turned back to check if I was still being chased by a man who was clearly armed. It seemed like he has accelerated his pace, so I ran as fast as my leg could carry me. The more I ran, the more it seemed like he was catching up with me, feeling like I wasn't running at all. The fact that I was lost in these dense forests, unsure of where I was going, terrified me more than the prospect of him meeting up with me soon. The concept of me getting killed, kidnapped or even raped frightens me. As I ran, uncontrollable tears were streaming down my cheeks. Suddenly, a hand grasp my hoodie and pulled me backward firmly. I stumbled and collapsed on the ground, yelling as loud as I could for assistance. ******************************************************* Jumping out of my bed, I was still screaming until it occurred to me that, it was only a nightmare. A sigh relief breathe through my lips, as I retired back to my bed, but my eye
LEO 'S POV : "Ah, I hate this stupid alarm" I got up and stretched my hands to turn off the alarm before laying back on my huge bed. I didn't feel like going to school today, not after the intensive training I had yesterday. I was exhausted and could still the hear the sounds of gun shot in my head. Anyways, I could always go to school anytime I wanted, no one dares to question me. I went back to sleep and woke up an hour, demanding for a massage from my maids. Although, I didn't like going to school, it was just a goal which I had to accomplish; my mum's last wish before she died. I was intelligent and don't attend classes frequently, but always had the best result. I had authority and no one dares to disobey my command because, death was always the penalty. I was the head of the most powerful Mafia cult in Italy. I took over from my dad after he was killed by me when I was fifteen years. He killed my mum when I was nine, and at the age of fifteen he also killed my
Jack took me to the school clinic where I was attended to properly. They inquired to know what really happened and Jack responded "Leo happened." They didn't ask any further questions which startled me, I wondered who Leo was and why he was feared by all including teachers and students. The nurses said my bone shifted, which was the cause of my pain. Luckily, they fixed it, though the process was painful. I held Jack's hands through out the process and he didn't resist surprisingly, he just stood there motionlessly, with his eyes fixed at the medical practitioners. I expressed my gratitude to Jack for helping me, I don't know what I would have done without him and avoided imagining. "I will drive you home" He said, bringing out his car keys from his breast pocket. "What? No! You have done enough, thank you. I will find my way home," I said with shock written all over my face and he saw it. "Well I have to finish what I started, right?" He grabbed my hand and we walked t
CLARA'S POV Jack got to the bus-stop which I had given him and asked if I could walk to my house from here. I was quick to respond, noticing he wanted to drop me off at my house but at the same time he didn't want to insist. I expressed my gratitude to him, but he didn't respond instead he drove off. While I was walking home, I regretted telling him to drop me here. "Maybe I should have just given him my house address," I thought, as I felt excruciating pain.I was certain that no one was going to be at home. Mum must have gone to work, same as my elder sister. I didn't want anyone to know I came back from school early, not to mention what I went through today. It was going to be difficult tell them what happened in school, especially my mum, she would feel bad. I took out my key quickly, opening the door to avoid being seen by the neighbours. The first place I went to was the kitchen, to check if I could find any food to eat as I was hungry. There no food to eat, so I just
LEO'S POV : I was mad at Jack for taking that girl wherever he took her to and I was definitely going to deal with him, I promised myself, but that was going to be later for now. I thought of just going home to sleep if possible. When I got home, my body guards were surprised to see me back from school this early. I told my bodyguard, "Call Jack, tell him to come and see me today; it can't exceed today." I told my bodyguard, climbing up the stairs and heading to my office, forgetting that I was supposed to sleep. I arrived at my office, took out the files I needed to sign, and began signing them one by one. After I was done, I went to my room to take a nap as I had planned earlier. I went to the bathroom to wash my face or probably take my bath. I wasn't so sure of what I wanted to do. I got nearer to the bathtub, " Guess it's a bath then," I said, noticing stains on some sides of the floor, showing that it wasn't properly cleaned. I became irritated immediately. I hastily pick
