Leah watched through the window as Delphine spoke to a strange man outside the building."Is everything okay?" Alexia asked."Yes, sweetie, everything is fine. Just checking out the view from up here" Leah lied."My mum's always speaking to strange men, so it's pretty normal " Alexia replied exposing her lie."Oh I see, is she...is she into business?" Leah asked curious"She says she sells to them, I don't know but lately she's been really jumpy. Maybe she didn't sell too well and that's making her upset." Alexia suggested."Oh really? And she leaves you up here by yourself?" She asked but before Alexia could answer, there was a knock on the door and Leah went on to open it."Yes? How may I help you?" She said to the tall man with a baseball cap and a pizza parcel. He seemed surprised to see her but he brought down the parcel anyway."Uh, pizza delivery. Can I come in and serve? It's unsliced" he said to her but she looked at him strangely. On a normal day she'd be excited and happy t

Still holding her lips to stop them from trembling, Leah waited to see what the men would bring out. When she had waited for some time and they didn't show up, she tiptoed in the direction of Delphine's house but the elevator suddenly opened and she rushed back to her former spot behind the dividing wall. She watched as a random guy stepped out of the elevator and walked past Delphine's house. She wished she could warn him to be quiet but he was already singing too loud like a bloody drunk. He stopped by her open house catching a glimpse of the havoc the men were causing and bellowed out."Hey! Yo! This is private property man! Does the owner know y'all are here? Come on, out..!" And a bullet went through his head which caused Leah to gasp loudly and shudder, moving back slowly. She saw them drag his body inside and shut the door.Enough had been seen, Leah rushed back to her apartment and locked the door completely, bolting every single thing. She tried to call Delphine but the call

Bruno watched the scene from the Auction over and over, shaking his head. "Sadly, Lorenzo underestimates me still," he said to DiCarlo sucking on a lollipop."Did you get the ruby?" He asked DiCarlo"Yes Boss, our collection is almost complete " he replied"Good, because I owe Ray Salvatore a token" he said smiling as he stared at his computer.XXXLeah and Alexia sat watching a sleeping Delphine, she had rolled over five times in her sleep. Leah had tried to hide the wound story from Alexia but she figured it out herself."Is she often like this?" Leah asked Alexia as they stared at her."Well, usually, she leaves me with my Aunt Marie back in Georgetown before she goes on her escapades, she usually comes visiting every two weeks with a broken arm or leg. " Alexia replied which bothered Leah a lot."I'm just kidding" Alexia laughed and Leah breathed a sigh of relief"Don't do that again" she warned seriously."I'm sorry. It's been my Mum and I alone since forever, my Dad recently cam

Leah stared blankly at Delphine as she spoke. "I don't know who that is" she said keeping a clueless face."Yeah, I figured " Delphine said wiping her face with her hand. " Ortega was the most feared demon of a Maffia before the Morettis even surfaced. He and the Morettis did business together severally but the city began to feel too small for all of them to build, so he branched out, hit bigger fish and started out somewhere else." Delphine replied."So, your Father is a dangerous drug Baron and you stole from him without absolute fear or thought that you would endanger your little girl's life?" Leah asked looking at her angrily."I didn't know I was pregnant with Alexia when I ran off. I was desperate, my Father had locked me up in a little room for daring to fall in love with that bastard Bartholomew. Oh how I regret ever having anything to do with him, The Bastard was more interested in pleasing my Father than in the love we had shared. I did stupid things for love and now...? He

"We'll have two cappuccinos and two lattes with cannoli""An espresso with sticky toffee pudding""I will have a chicken sandwich and iced tea"Leah shuffled hastily through the busy cafe, taking orders with a polite and professional smile despite the burning menstrual cramps she was having in her lower abdomen, plus her aching body from working long shifts all through the week.Due to some event hosted by her college that is located just around the block, they've had a busy week, which Leah is grateful for because a busy week means extra cash.She needed the money if she wanted to continue pursuing her dream of being a fashion designer.As she returned to the counter with empty trays after serving the tables on her side she let out a sigh, flopped down and groaned in pain with her eyes closed, her brown bangs fell across her forehead, hiding the crease between her brows as she frowned"You should clock out early Leah" Matt, her coworker encouraged seeing the frown on her face as she

By the time she woke up the next morning, the strange man from the night before he disappeared leaving a note that read,"It's dangerous inviting strangers into your home princess, but thanks for the treatment and I hope you like the breakfast see you soon"Just as she had finished reading the note the doorbell rang thinking it was her roommate who had left her keys in the apartment again. Leah went to open the door with her bed hair and pyjamas.As she pulled the door open, she saw a middle-aged man dressed in a black button-up shirt paired with black pants and dress shoes, he had a black apron tied around his waist and a tiny scar on his left side eye"Good Morn… " She didn't allow him to complete the greetings as she shut the door and ran back to her room changing out of her bum shorts and a crop top into something more decent before going back to the door, she composed herself and put on a smile as he opened the door once again to see the man still standing by the door."Good morn

"The report from the club Tor has been complied, we found out their finance book has not been matching up and there has been a mismanagement of funds" Gregor, head of the finance department of the Moretti group reported, sweat trickling down his face despite sitting directly under and opposite the cool air conditioner. His massive tummy jiggled as he stood up from his seat to point out the chart on the screen.Bruno Moretti, Chairman of the Moretti group and the most feared Don in Europe sat at the head chair in the long conference hall, his eyes emotionless as he listened to the reports from his subordinate.His gloved hands went to his phone, and it lit up with a simple message that read "Duke" A wolfish grin appeared on his face and his eyes turned dark sending shivers into the hearts of everyone in the room.Who was it this time?Who incurred the devil's wrath? They thought as they watched him remove his tie before unbuttoning the first two buttons of his dress shirt."Have Enz

"Why did Aaron shift the closing hours upwards?" Leah asked noticing the new sign hanging on the counter and the new board at the entrance of the cafe as she walked in with a backpack"Haven't you heard?" Matt asked his gossiping mode switching on as Leah got closer to the staff area to drop off her things and get changed into her work uniform,"Romano and Moretti are at it again!" he exclaimed"Who are those? The names sound familiar but I can't remember who they are." Leah returned and stood by his side at the counter, overlooking the almost empty cafe"The two big groups in the state?""Ah, yes. You once told me they are rivals or something, they are fighting for something. It's been peaceful all this while why the sudden hostility?" she asked absentmindedly as she scrolled through her phone"Yes, they are!, And you know when those big groups fight it affects their surroundings. Plus, I heard the Romano tried to kill someone on the Moretti's turf just last week" Matt explained in a
