Elena grumbled as she walked to Leo’s room. Just earlier today, he had made her watch an innocent man get murdered, what more did he want from her now? She had a feeling he was about to send her to do another one of his dirty jobs, but one thing she was sure of was that she wouldn’t kill a fly for him, for the sake of her mental health and her soul, she would rather kill herself.Yes, that was the coward’s way but she didn’t mind. What was it worth to keep living after losing your soul to darkness? She had imagined the kind of misery she’d be in if she was the one to pull that trigger earlier today, it would certainly haunt her for the rest of her life.Elena got to Leonardo’s and met it open; she looked in and saw five men, Leo excluded. She recognized two of them, but the rest were probably one of their hundreds of sheep, or killing machines in other words. She hesitated but Leonardo looked towards her and signaled to her that she should come in, without actually saying the words.S
The cars halted in front of a club; it was boldly inscribed club soda above the roof. One of the guys from the car at the back came to them and opened the car for her; Elena stepped out of the black Mercedes Benz with a solemn expression on her face; she looked just as intimidating as the others and she didn’t even have to hold out a gun like the rest of the men.Yes, she had her gun close; it was tucked into the inner pocket of her satin black robe. Elena turned back to the second car, waiting for Mateo to lead the way but he first lit his cigarette with his back against the car, he puffed the smoke into the air and watched it vanish.Mateo was the oldest of the Capos; he was probably in his mid forties. He was less aggressive and more silent but yet the most dangerous of them all; by that, he wasn’t evil or heartless, but he was a badass with a gun; this was because he had trained in the force but unfortunately, he didn’t make it into the army; they offered him a lower position in t
“What do you mean?” the drug Lord asked immediately and stood up.“I said the police are here, I think someone informed them that we were here,” the man uttered. Elena stood up immediately and turned to Mateo.“That is crazy, the police know of everything that goes down here but they never dare to show up, why would they do that today, I am sure this is a misunderstanding,” Mateo uttered.“No it's not, rumors have been going around that there is a new Captain of police, and he is not going to work with us… prepare your guns boys, this is an attack,” the chief announced.His men grabbed their guns and positioned themselves in front, aiming for the door. “Give me the goods,” the chief instructed.“The money first,” Mateo replied. They exchanged the briefcases immediately and Mateo made sure to see the content, and then he nodded.He turned to his men. “If the chief is right, then this is about to turn into a bloodbath, prepare your guns while we wait for the police,” Mateo said and stoo
Elena got down from the car and the policeman led her into the station. She couldn’t help but chuckle at how she had four men behind her, armed with guns and a cuff slapped against her wrists like she was some famous terrorist.What did she expect anyway? She had been captured and labeled a member of the Sicilian Mafia; one of the most dangerous Mafia societies to walk the face of earth, a faction which has caused havoc in the society without getting any of it pinned on them.Whoever this new captain was, he must really think he is a god to stand against the Sicilian Mafia, especially the Scorpione family; a faction led by the brutal and cold hearted Scarface, a man who wouldn’t hesitate to kill his own uncle.As they stepped into the station, Elena noticed that all eyes were on her, all the cops were glaring at her as she was taken past their offices. Well, maybe they were also shocked at seeing a female Mafia member, as the Sicilian Mafia was known to recruit just boys in their army
“Let go of me, you scumbag,” Elena cursed as she dragged her hands away from the nasty old cop who had been teasing her.“Leave us,” the captain ordered and the old man walked away immediately.Elena had just been dragged into the Captain’s office for questioning, not like she intended to say a word to any of them, unless it was necessary. However, she wouldn’t let anyone oppress or maltreat her, not when she was a crazy bitch with a touch of badass.“Please sit, Miss Elena,” Marco uttered while staring at her with interest, he was impressed by this woman’s spirit; she was facing charges that could send her to jail and yet, here she was confident and courageous; maybe it was something to do with being a member of a Mafia family.Elena on the contrary stared at him with disgust when he called her that, it had reminded her of Leonardo as he was the only one that calls her that. She reluctantly took a seat and glared at him with a solemn expression.“I am Captain Marco Vincenzo and would
Elena is seated at the back of a prison van with her hands cuffed as she is being conveyed to the court for hearing, it was just yesterday that she was arrested and today she has been trialed already. That wasn’t really what bothered her, the earlier the better.But she was confused on why they chose to transport her with a prison van since she had not yet been found guilty of the charges by the court, that was infringement of her fundamental rights, she shouldn’t be treated as a criminal until she was found as one, at least that was what she thought.Elena worried that her parents might show up at the court today. Wasn’t it funny? She was abducted from her own house in front of her parents and the next time they set their eyes on her, it was as a soon to be convicted criminal. Yes, it was ironic that their useless daughter was finally getting attention from the public, she was finally popular but for the wrong reasons.Elena thought of her younger siblings and imagined what would be
Elena blinked her eyelids twice before opening her eyes, she still felt drowsy and yet to adjust with the light. She groaned and sat up, wondering where she was. Just then, she realized that she was lying on the very large beautiful bed with pink bedspread. She thought she had escaped, Well it looks like she hadn’t.She was back at the Scorpione mansion, in that very beautiful room that had belonged to her till yesterday. Elena cursed silently and stood up, she was feeling weak and tired, and her wrists were hurting from the cuffs that had been on her for most of last night and today.“Welcome back, Miss Elena, how are you feeling?” that annoying but sexually attractive voice startled her from behind.Elena turned around immediately and placed her hand on her chest. “Fuck, you scared the life out of me?” she yelled.He chuckled and stood up from the rocking chair at the end of the wall where he had been seated. “I have waited on you for three hours and then you wake up and scream at m
Lorenzo comes out of his hideout as he watched Leo walk away from the hallway, he had eavesdropped on the conversation between the Mafia boss and Elena and now he was curious to know if the boss was taking a liking to her.Lorenzo already had this theory in his head but he just wanted to confirm his suspicions. First, Leo had kept this girl in the Mafia house for weeks now and he wouldn’t let her go, he was treating her like a princess instead of a captive.The Mafia Boss was not even in any way trying to hide the fact that he cared for her, he was always looking out for her even though he pretends not to at times. He instructs the gunmen to protect her whenever they are out on a mission and he hits them when something bad happens to her.Hitting made-men for the sake of an outsider; was that not enough sign? Now, in addition to that, he had warned her never to leave this place, he also said she was part of the crew but that wasn’t how the Mafia recruits new members, he was jumping a
