"I am glad everything is working out then." A wave of relief passes through me. I was one step closer to getting Mia back."Benvenuto..." Theo speaks my name like we are friends. "If you see something I would like don't hold back my friend." He adds. I am going there with one objective only and that is to get Mia back. I won't be hanging around to see the show. I can't even think about wasting my time when Mia needs me."Hello dear. A small familiar voice follows two soft knocks on the car window, almost causing my heart to skip a beat. Mia?"Gracie, Theo. I need to go." I end the call turning my head towards the side that the voice was coming from, surprised by the face that follows. "Giorgia," I say her name in a manner of greeting Mia's mother while I lower the window. She looked ten years younger and I was surprised. It was a mere two weeks ago that she had heart surgery and here she stood in the street which I am sure she wasn't supposed to be doing. "I thought it was you." She s

"Bring your entire workforce; we are going to need it. Infiltrate some positions, waiters, critics, I don't care how you do it, but get us some men on the floor. If this thing doesn't pan out it is going to turn into a bloodbath." My fists form around the steering wheel. I am not storming in guns blazing and bomb exploding, I will try to do this like gentleman, but a man can dream right."Do you want to start a war? We have not established our feet in New York yet. They will wipe the floor with us." Achille seems worried, but I was in a mood for a fight. "They don't know that." I bark swiping across the large screen in the centre of the dash until the blue marker falls on Angela's name. I press onto the call button letting Achille inform her about the night's arrangements, which she happily accepts and even sound a little excited about."So now what brother?" He questions after setting up all the arrangements with Angela and ending the call. Achille never spooked easily, but this whol

We had a lot of eyes on us while we entered the Gala where tables decorated in a sort of gatsby theme titivated the big space and art pieces covered the white walls all around only leaving spaces between the pieces to compliment the next sale. This was just the front. An eyeblind for the few clean players on the slate. The real auction and money to be made was behind the closed doors. In one of these private rooms that they kept guarded and I was eager to enter, but I needed to stick to the plan to ensure Angela's safety as well as Mia's and everyone else putting their lives on the line to assure this mission goes down perfectly."The two of you must be new around her, because I have been attending this prestigious event since it was first hosted in 1987 and I have never before seen the two of you here." A tall older man with salt and pepper hair extend his hand giving mine a solid shake before he moves over to Angela taking her hand in his and then plant a soft kiss on the dorsal part

If ever I or anyone for that matter doubted that I had a heart it was to be proven now at this very moment, because I could verbatim feel my heart crack the moment my eyes fell on Mia who sat on the chair next to the bed where I spent the last two weeks. Her head hung low and the curls that used to bounce around her head hung with the same desertedness. She was dressed in some scrubs that I guess someone from the hospital provided her with and her feet bare. I can't believe that it was so long since the last time I held her in my arms, I can still remember her sort skin and the sweet minty smell she always carry on her breath. If ever I wondered how I felt about her this moment right here locks it in. This is the woman I love and I want her to be part of my life forever. I will never ever let anything separate us ever again, even if I had to pay with my life for it. She was seated on the chair next to the hospital bed with her back towards the door, enabling her to see me as I stood at

"I need to..." I try to explain, but honestly I just needed to put some space between me and Mia. "I am just going to make a call." I hold up my hand in a manner of keeping her from getting of the bed and nearing me. I remove my phone from my dress shirt's pocket with my other hand keeping my eyes on a pissed and moody Mia who sits glaring at me through her long lashes. God, even in her condition she was beautiful. I scroll through the conatcts on my phone in search for Sofia's number and once her name appears i press down on the call icon and place the phone to my ear. The lines rings to no avail. i needed her to see Mia, why was she not answering the phone? Itold her that she needed to be here when Mia comes. "Fuck." I blurt out a little too hard making Mia's body jerk in reaction. She was so jumpy and it scared me. The mere thought of the trauma she must have adhered to scares me. Was she ever going to be my Mia again? "She is probably with Angela." Mia frowns moving her eyes from

After Sophia did a thorough inspection of Mia who perceptibly insisted on taken a shower first, confirmed that she was only a little dehydrated and gave her a sleeping tablet for apprehension and some ibuprofen to minimize the pain in her ribs where some bruises were still visible, which of course Mia insisted was not painful at all, but flinched a little when touched. Luckily she didn't have any severe or lasting damage, and no one drugged or raped her and to hear her say those words to Sophia was a blessing to my ears, but I was still intending on killing everyone that manhandled, slugged, and bruised her. They all are going to pay."How is Angela?" Mia asks concerned while Sophia writes down the prescription resulting in a quick pause. Something wasn’t right."There wasn’t much we could do." Sophia tilts her head as she upsurges her eyes to Mia. “She bled out before we were able to find the source of where she was bleeding. I am sorry honey." Sophia takes the piece of paper she jus

"What is all this?" Mia inquire very curious about what I obtained from the grocery store, glancing into the bag as I place it on the small kitchen counter next to the old stove. "I told you I was going to get us some food didn't I?" I swat away her hand from the bag that she tries to open. She was so inquisitive as always, but she seemed different, better. "I know." She removes her hand from the bag for a moment just to attempt at it again using the other hand this time. "I just thought that you were going to bring us Burgers or chips or something." She shrugs pulling out the bottle of extra virgin cooking oil which I remove from her hand and place on the counter. "Not fresh ingredients." She really does sound surprised as she tangles the diminutive bag of garlic cloves in the air. "Give me that." I once more remove the item from her hand placing it next to the oil. "Take this one." I shove the other bag towards her to empty it. "What is this?" A huge smile spread over her lovely

"Who the fuck are you?" The small figured man with his dirty blonde hair cut into a boyband type of style tries to act tough even though he is bound to a chair in the middle of a storage unit on the outer part of the resort where no guests are allowed and no one would hear him scream when I start to strip away his life tissue by tissue. "You don't know who you are messing with." He continues to threaten me and Achille as we stood to the side waiting for Achilles's new companion to bring the piece of scum that actually pulled the trigger that launched the bullet into Angela. "100 Dollars he screeches first." Achilles chuckles trying to make a bet that would ensure he wins. Of course, he will start talking first. He isn't a part of this long enough to comprehend what he got himself into. He will take the easiest way out, but that doesn't mean that we are not going to have fun first."Too easy..." I shake my head. "100 Dollars says I can make him yell like a little bitch even before firs
