'Bang, Bang'Bruno pointed the gun at the fat man's head, the man's face a mask of fear and panic. Bruno laughed with a cold and mirthless sound. With a flick of his wrist, he cocked the gun and fired at one of the fat man's underlings, dropping the man to the ground in a pool of blood. The fat man trembled, stammering, "I didn't do it! Please!" Bruno's lip curled into a sneer, his eyes cold as he looked at the terrified man."You expect me to believe that when all the evidence points at you? What do you take me for a fool?" Bruno asked as he gestured to Dicarlo; the latter moved close and handed him a stack of pictures and documents.Bruno spread the pictures out in front of him and quirked his lips as he noticed the man in front of him shiver in shock and fear. "Doesn't this picture serve as proof of the crime you committed? The bank statement also proves that you have been receiving money from unknown sources. Now tell me, Senator Maverick, do you still insist that you are not col

"This is your monthly pay, but due to the agreement between you and the Morettis, you will only get twenty per cent monthly for your expenses, and eighty per cent will go to Moretti to pay off your debts until it is fully paid," Lily explained as they went over the employment formalities. Leah looked at the document she was meant to sign, and her eyes went wide at the figures that were written as her salary.She looked from the document to Lily, who had a smile on her face. "Are you sure this one is for me? The twenty per cent is what I would normally make in three months at my old job; shouldn't it be less now that I'm repaying a debt?" Leah described making sure that she was reading the right document.Lily chuckled lightly, her eyes twinkling in amusement at the confused look on Leah's face. "You are working for Moretti now; there are lots of risks in the job as well as exhausting long and stressful hours of work, so the pay isn't much. Besides, it will increase after you become a

Bruno sat on the wooden floor with both his legs folded under him and his back in a straight posture, his face held no expression as he watched the older-looking man sitting before him make a pot of Japanese-styled tea with his brows furrowed in concentration.Ray Salvatore served two cups of tea and placed one in front of Bruno, he raised his head to acknowledge the man sitting in front of him for the first time, "I'm getting old and it takes so much time for me to brew tea nowadays even my old injuries from when I was a youth in the street are resurfacing recently" he laments and Bruno's eye twitched while trying to maintain his coolness.'Who are you trying to deceive old man? ' he thought to himself with a subtle eye roll.He had seen that the man had intentionally slowed down the process as a way to test out his patience he said nothing as he picked up the tea and took a sip. "Even if my old age had affected the timing I can guarantee you the taste is still just as good, I got th

Will you be taking over?""We heard the Moretti group took the project from some other people using underhanded methods, how will you answer to that?""How does Bruno Moretti plan to deal with the obvious provocation from the Moretti group?""Will your group be working with other small groups in this project?""There is a rumour circulating that you plan on entering the technology market, is it true?"Reporters swamp the front of the magnificent Moretti group, blocking the stoic DiCarlo's way, Bruno Moretti dressed in a casual outfit like a lackey trailed behind him enjoying his peace while DiCarlo and the rest of the bodyguards deal with the reporters."It's really stressful being the face of the Moretti group isn'

"There is a new club in town, let's check it out together tonight" Amanda announced excitedly when she heard Leah come in but her excitement quickly dimmed immediately she noticed the large bags her roommate was holding with an exhausted look on her face. "Why do you look so worn out? You were never this tired even when you worked at a cafe and you had to stand most of the day" she pointed out with a disapproving frown.Leag sighed and mentally apologized to Lily fit making people have a bad impression of her team."It's mostly the school project that is making me busy these days not g new job" she corrected and Amanda snorted as Leah dragged herself into the kitchen to get a cup of water, "We got a new professor in my year and he is too strict on his projects and practical. We get at least two dresses to work on from his class this month," she explained "If it's not done well, we will have to start over again, so frustrating""Sucks to be you" Amanda commented giving Leah a pitiful lo

CHAPTER 14"Boss, we successfully acquired the first piece of the Antique as you requested," Di'Carlo said walking into Bruno's dimly lit office at the Club."Any challenges?" Bruno asked as Di'Carlo placed the parcel, a big black box on his table for assessment."Not at the auction, Boss. Ryan and Antonio confirmed with the Auction Manager that this is indeed an Original piece, but the only problem is that it is a twin set" Di'Carlo replied."It's only half a piece?" Bruno asked. ", Seems like the Black Market is slowly becoming a tough land to navigate", he comments, a smirk playing on his lips."24 hours, find the second piece as soon as possible. We must have the complete antiques before the bidding." Bruno stated"Yes Sir" Di'Carlo replied.***Her experience working with Diana was fast becoming an exhausting one, she refused to help her make any adjustments to the dress idea they had created."Mmm this looks good, but you shouldn't add lapels.

His eyes perused her body, and then using his head, he gestured to his guard to his guard in the room to search her.After what seemed like a good job of almost stripping her of her clothes as he searched every single part of her clothing. He nodded a confirmation to the Boss that she was clean"Come, have a seat" he pointed to the chair across him, clouds of smoke filling the atmosphere he sat in."Now, tell me everything" his eyes took a dark shade, signalling that trouble was about to loom."The other day, I heard some men outside my apartment talk about an ambush. It sounded like the deed had already been done. I thought maybe it was just another petty job the wreckless fools in the area were about. Until I heard the Morettis involved. I have reason to believe that they know what happened to your goods. Everyone has been talking about a gang war. These two men, they discussed vividly about an internal war that would be ongoing here because you lost your shipment. The ambush isn't

The raining gunshots sounded from a distance, Leah had only walked a mile down the street towards her house before the shooting started. She rushed indoors and locked her door tightly.She was rather surprised to find Amanda at home, she sat on the couch, dressed in her PJs watching the news."Hey girl, what are you doing back home so early?" Leah asked surprised."Don't you hear the gunshots? Or perhaps my ears are burning. I'm glad you're home, I was getting worried for you" Amanda replied."Yeah, I think the wars have started but it's like two blocks away," Leah responded taking off her coat and jacket."I have a slight idea where that might be," Amanda said." Cup of coffee?" Leah offered her."Would love some but I'd rather have whiskey" she replied." Whiskey? No way, nobody's getting drunk in this house " Leah replied" How's work at the Morettis?
