Adriano's P O VI had always watched the sunrise almost every day for many years because it's like when I go to sleep, I'm never really asleep but just there in bed, switched off mind and eyes wide open through out the dark hours of the night and so watching the sunrise wasn't anything special to me as it had become a normal thing but this morning was different. I spent the remaining hours of the night longing for daylight after my session with the prisoners I had thrown in the cell. After two hours of grilling and torture, the youngest and clearly the most inexperienced of them all chose the smart option which was to give me the information I needed to hear. The others gasped at his betrayal and gave him looks that meant he was choosing the wrong path but the young lad obviously had his mind made up because he paid their silent reproach no attention and yet swore to speak the truth. I didn't want the judgemental glares from his accomplices cause him to withold any necessary piece
Adriano's P O VDawn soon fell upon us and I didn't give a care in the world to my sunken eyes and evident eye bags. Getting to the root of what had been in my mind the entire night was the only thing that mattered to me and that was evident in my heavy steps down the stairs. I was so eager to get to the root of the matter that I didn't even pause to greet Jaselle's door with a single glance like I did every morning while on my way down the stairs and in no time, I was out the house and I was greeted by a number of my men that I wasn't exactly interested in at the moment. Where the hell is Gustavo??? He should have been here waiting for me as planned!I started to itch with annoyance as it occurred to me that Gustavo's pace wasn't in any way matching the urgency to get down to the Grill and hold whosoever I happen to meet there at a chokehold. "John is it?" I questioned mindlessly to the next man that walked past me with a curt bow and his immediate response was a firm Nod. "Go f
Jaselle's P O VWith conflicted emotions in my already pounding chest, I ran down deeper into the dark, with my pace increasing anytime I thought I heard a gunshot or an animal Howl at me which I hope are just a sick part of my imagination, because imagine escaping Adriano's clutch to get eaten by a wild animal. The Horrific Tragedy! My legs were starting to grow weary of running but I was too scared to stop. I also felt a sting of regret about not being able to snatch something out of the fridge while I had the chance. My stomach growled in response while my memory flashed back to the fat Sausage roll I nearly grabbed out of the fridge before I realized my golden opportunity. My itchy outfit choice I found tolerable a while back wasn't as tolerable anymore and since my top was so short that it couldn't meet the band of my pants, I had to hold my hand over my exposed belly to block the harsh breeze from making any further impact. I swear I could hear voices all around me and In my
"Is there anyone here who thinks these two shouldn't be joined together in Holy matrimony? speak now, or forever hold your peace." Are those words really necessary? I mean, it was my wedding and everyone seated smiling at me were my friends and members of the family. They all knew how really important the day was to me. I mean, I've dreamt of that very day my entire life! and I knew I was being hasty with the whole Normal wedding procedures and stuff, but the suspense was making me really nervous.Those words left the priest's mouth barely two seconds ago and I must say, the silence that followed was really satisfying and at the same time suffocating if you know what I mean.The sudden unified gasps from the crowd gathered at my wedding told me I didn't make up the sharp pitched Feminine voice that just sounded in my head."I object!" Her voice repeated the very same words I thought I heard the first time. Joining forces with the sounds from the crowd to confirm to me that I actually
For the first time in a long time, I agree with mom. This vacation really was the best option for me. I reached my lodge in Everald some few hours ago and I had just managed to peel my eyes open after a long jetlagged nap.The weather also happened to be great just as Mom had told me. The air was chilly but still held a good amount of warmth.I let my natural curiosity control me so, out I went in the cool of the evening for a casual stroll around the somewhat quiet neighborhood. My stroll wasn't so casual anymore because In the space of about half an hour or probably a few minutes less, I found myself in a fully active club because..... Why not?I mean, who wouldn't? I've been indoors for years and besides, no one knows a thing about me or even seem to care or notice my presence, all everyone here could notice were the changing beats in the loud music booming through the speakers on either sides of the bar as they swayes their bodies in response to the rhythm.With a glass of tequi
Adriano's P . O . VWaking up from sleep has never been an issue for me because I hardly ever slept and it was the same with last night.Even after my hours long exhausting flight to open my Second club in Everald, Sleep has always been off the plate for me.Although anyone might think it's all due to the tedious business of having to run the Mafia, I alone truly knows the reason behind my sleepless nights.It was very late into the evening and the perfect time to open up my club and so, I got into my car with two of my most trusted men, Carlo and Gustavo.I had officially thrown open the club and had a number of party freaks present already while I remained at the VIP section with both my men and the contractors in charge of my projects and the newly assigned manager, giving orders on how exactly I want my business and uncompleted projects handled.I wasn't in any way in the mood for clubbing or anything of that sort and besides, I needed to return back home by dawn the next day as m
Jaselle's P . O . V“who's there??” I called out in the darkness of my room when I woke up abruptly to a somewhat loud creaking noise I heard sounding from not too far away.I reached out my hand for the bedside lamp to lighten up my room and after scanning around the room briefly, there really wasn't anyone in sight and nothing seemed amiss.With a loud yawn, I decided to return back to sleep but then I realized I really needed to pee. Sighing at the continuous factors interrupting my sleep, I dragged myself lazily out of bed and staggered half awakened towards the bathroom and got down to releasing the end results of the shots and tequila I had at that club earlier tonight.I hissed loudly at the disturbingly loud sound of flushing before proceeding out of the bathroom and instead of seeing my bed from the distance like I badly wanted to, I could barely see a thing and not only because my bed side lamp had somehow turned off on its own, but I felt a presence right before me. Somet
“What do you want with me?” I asked for the seventeenth time in the space of five minutes but each and Everytime, I was met with his annoying silence.I could scream out for help but I doubt anyone would even hear me. For just a room to be this big, I bet I'm in some kind of mansion.“You should eat. You had a rough night” he finally responded after silently watching me and then with actually a snap of his fingers, two young girls who seemed to be about my age rushed it.From their light green matching uniforms and aprons up front, I could tell they were maids.It felt like I was In a movie and I wasn't given a script because I still don't know what the hell is going on!One of the girls rushed past me into the room and I followed her with my eyes till she stopped by my bed and picked up a tray of covered food I totally didn't notice was there before.Oh. So that's where the fish is? It was really that close to me but I had bigger problems like the hot god man keeping me from leaving
