ALESSANDRO'S POVI opened my eyes to brightness. I felt unusually relaxed. Strange. I had slept longer than I have ever done in my many years on earth since I became a mafia killer. My body felt free and my bones relaxed. Slowly the events of the previous days started to replay in my head.Shit! I remember slipping into my bathtub to have a bath and then dozing off into the bathtub. Voices…yes I heard voices…no, it was one person's voice. Isabella???I remember her lifting me out of the tub and helping me back into the room. Then I remembered yelling at her when she had mentioned my mother. Now that my head felt clearer I felt bad yelling at her. I sighed and forced myself to sit up. "Come in…" I said to whoever it was knocking on my door. I hoped it was Isabella. Then I would get a chance to apologize for yelling at her.Mattia walked in instead. "Boss, you look better than you were two days ago…How do you feel?""Days? How long have I been here?" I asked, shocked. "Two and ma
*NIGHT*ISABELLA'S POVMy heart nearly sank into my belly when I saw him walking out of his room as I was carrying his meal to his room. He looked like he just got back from a much needed vacation. I could smell the scent of his wash soap even from a distance. He must have had his bath before coming down. His hair, although a bit overgrown, still looked clean and fresh. I wondered what it would feel like dipping and twisting my fingers around the shiny strands but the memory of how he yelled at me made the whole sweet feeling turn into bile. "Oh, you are awake…" I was able to finally say.He said a few words I didn't catch clearly as all I wanMy heart started to pound heavily against my chest with each step I hear him take closer to me. He rounded me and stopped right in my front. I pushed my face down avoiding his gaze. "You have been avoiding me ever since I woke up. Even now. Is there something going on, I mean is there anything wrong?" He asked me. Gosh, how could he ask so in
ISABELLA'S POVI felt like I'm awake yet I felt like I was dreaming at the same time. Something kept giving me a nice feeling. I felt my closed eyelids and forced it to open but I quickly shut them back as the sharp rays that filtered into the room through the opened windows hit my eyes. I let out a soft moan and rolled over to the other side of the bed, away from the rays and then I opened my eyes. A heavy blanket covered my body up to my stomach region. An unfamiliar blanket? I quickly looked around me. An unfamiliar bed too. Where the hell am I? When I looked up, my eyes caught my brazier hanging on the arm of a chair and in a flash the memories of the previous day struck me. Every damn moment of it! "Oh shit…" My hands flew to my face. Where is my dignity…oh shameless me…Me and Aless…I grabbed the cover at once, lifted it up and peeked into it. I was dressed in pyjamas bigger than me. I needed not to be told it belonged to Alessandro. I heard steps approaching the room. G
WRITER'S POV"Oh damn it! These bastards should fuvking stay out of my damn life!" Lorenzo cursed. It was yet another beep of his phone and no doubt he knew it would be those that have bound him in chains. Chief Alegra. He sleepily reached for his phone on the drawer and got hold of it. Once he got hold of it, he silenced it and threw it carelessly on the bed without caring as much as checking the message. Seconds later his phone started to vibrate signifying a call this time around. His teeth clenched. He grudgingly picked up the phone and rightly as he suspected it was chief Alegra calling. He swiped the answer button. "Chief, I understand we are working together but can you fucking let me get some sleep? Do you and your boys have to blow this damn phone off…""I'm in your house. Open the door." He heard a voice say and clink, the call ended. "What?"He scrambled out of the bed. "Right now? In my house? Why?"Lorenzo hurriedly put on his clothes and went to the door. Truly chi
WRITER'S POVDominique sat on one of the sofas in the living room. He kept a keen eye on Mattia as the clock ticked in his head as he waited for the moment.Alessandro who had been in his room the whole time starts coming out of his room. "Video game anyone?" He asked with a smirk. He always won them whenever they played. "Sure, I'm in. I promise, I'm winning this time." Mattia said. He had a determined look on his face. Alessandro let out a mocking short laugh. Dominique cursed under his breath. This was the wrongest time. "You in? Dominique?" Alessandro motioned to him. "Urh no," he declined. Alessandro and Mattia start to play video games. Dominique was beginning to get uneasy. They must be ready and waiting for him by now. The people he was doing business with. He already informed them he would lure Mattia and Alessandro out to them today. He kept glancing at his wrist watch and looking towards where Mattia and Alessandro were playing the video game. If he didn't act now,
ALESSANDRO'S POVIt has been days of perfect peace. Seeing Isabella everyday that I wake up makes me happy and at peace. Sometimes she wakes in my arms and other times she insists on sleeping in her room. My insomnia surprisingly reduced to a great length. I stopped having nightmares of my mother being stabbed and other nightmares generally stopped to a point. Life started to become meaningful to me and above all, I began to see life in a different approach. Isa and I went on short road trips, shopping and anywhere she wanted while being wary of bumping into Chief Giovanni or any of his men. But I wanted more. I wanted to leave freely and not hide from anyone. But as far as chief Giovanni and Lorenzo lives, I knew I would know not peace. And most importantly I wanted to find my real mother. Not my step mother but my real mother. Ever since I began to make money, I have searched for her but my search was slowed down for the fact that I had very little information about my mother.
WRITER'S POVAlessandro started making plans to go rescue his mother. Now he was certain of something; a saint life was never for him. He thought he would start afresh and be happy with Isabella. He scoffed within him. He must have wished for too much. Now he must go back to being a killer that he is. He took out his tools, a sniper rifle, a revolver, dagger and knifes and carefully arranged them in a box. "Boss, we will go with you…" Dominique said to him. Aless paused as he heard Dominique said that to him. He knew it was him that betrayed him. His fist clenched along with his jaw. "Yess Boss, we will come with you." Mattia added. "Is there something I can do to help?" Isabella joined. She knew it would have been too good to be true if life went on fine for them. Alessandro finished packing his tools and closed the box. He slipped a revolver beneath his trousers and faced them. The last thing he would have wanted was Lorenzo using any of them to get to him again. His mother
ISABELLA'S POVI was in the car anxiously waiting for Mattia and Dominique to give me the signal so I could drive the car forward and they hop in when I hear a knock. My heart flew. I didn't see anyone when I looked out of the locked windows. I waited for some more seconds and then a minute and yet no one showed up. I relaxed again when I realised it could have been just my imagination. Some minutes were already gone and not a signal from Mattia or Dominique. I was getting worried. If at all they have been discovered and captured then I must try to find another way to help. I stepped out of the car to take a look. A hand gripped my neck from behind. "Let me go!"I screamed and kicked but something heavy landed on my head. Things became blurry and I passed out. ALESSANDRO'S POVI feel something cold like water drenching me. I tried to force my eyes to open but felt a sharp pain hit me and shut it back. Was it time for another torture… My head was splitting open with a headache.
