ALESSANDRO’S POV“I have a minor job for you…” chief Giovanni said.After the operation at chief Giada’s house, dropping Lorenzo off and driving to my base, I had tried to force myself to sleep off hoping to wipe the scene that happened at the operation. But sleep was far beyond my reach.Not being able to sleep for long hours and peacefully like every other normal person has become a part of me which I had come to accept. And it had all begun the moment I got recruited by chief Giovanni and started the trainings. I had nightmares eight times out of ten that I manage to finally sleep and always end up staying days without getting a real sleep. Using sleep supplements was out of question as it gave me serious migraines most times I resorted to it.Barely a few hours after I got to my base, had my shower and got into bed hoping that sleep comes or I just lay in bed doing nothing, thinking nothing like I do sometimes when my phone rang. I had earlier on spoken to chief and gave him repor
ALESSANDRO’S POV Leaving Lorenzo’s house that night, I knew I had no other choice left but to kill Isabella. I kept wondering why it had to be her. But then being a mafia killer, one bred only to take orders and carry them out without complaint, especially ones that involved taking lives, I knew I had to do it. I didn’t go back to my house that night. Well, it was actually almost morning. Instead I went to a club, hoping to get myself in the mood for my next mission…killing Isabella. I casually walked into the VIP session as the general one was too noisy for me to take and ordered for a drink which I gulped down slowly as I let my eyes dart around the room. “Hey handsome, care for a dance?” a lady approached me and offered her hand. I ignored her and continued sipping on my drink. This was the worst moment for me to dance with a seductress. I needed my head straight and was in no mood for one of these bitches. But seemed my message wasn’t clear enough to her as she insisted. “Jus
ISABELLA’S POVAfter the scene at work that night, Friday morning I tended my resignation letter without a second thought. I didn’t wait for it be either approved or rejected before I fled while I still can with my life still intact. The head of the staff had asked me why but I kept my reason to myself. Good thing he promised they will wire the rest of my pay to my account and warned that my work details remained secret.The moment I stepped my feet into my house, I let out a huge heave of relief.Camilla was already home on my arrival.“Babe! You really couldn’t wait to see me that you left work so early?” she squealed excitedly and jumped into my arms.I just stood motionlessly as she hugged me. I was scared and sad. Scared that I saw what I probably should have never seen and sad it was whom I never expected it to be. Or maybe it was just me that chose to not see it even when it was clearly there. It all made sense now. His extreme stiffness and arrogance.Isabella, what have you g
ISABELLA’S POVI picked the kids from their various parents and headed for the park like I always did.I made them go on the different kiddies ride. It was all fun and merry albeit stressful as my colleague hadn’t shown up. She had called in sick and so I was left alone to handle the kids. Fun on one hand but a lot of work on the part of keeping the kids under control. Only that at intervals, the thought of him kept popping up in me especially the part we had fun in the park.I kept forcing myself to shut off the memories and focus on the kids. Moments later one of my kids mistakenly threw her ball and it landed somewhere far from where we were playing.“My ball…” she cried and pointed to where the ball had fallen at.“It’s okay dearie, I will get your ball.”I promised and then I quickly rushed to pick the ball and return to the kids. As I picked the ball, I noticed a man dressed in an all back attire standing a few feet from me. My leg pinned to the ground as my eyes met with his co
ALESSANDRO POVI fled from Isabella’s place after my plan to kill her failed.I couldn’t stop grounding my teeth in fury wondering if I had become a weakling to not have been able to pull the trigger the moment she stepped out of her place.It was either I was becoming weak or her god was helping her. Either way, I knew I had to end her as soon as possible as chief would soon demand for the result of my mission.I decided to have one of my men do it. It was harder for me and the reason for my stalling in the mission have had something to do with my harmless encounters with her but my men hadn’t and would easily wipe her off without a second of hesitation.That night I drove crazily to one of the big gym in the city. Although I had a well laid gym in my house but I just wanted to be in a different gym. I parked my car, got down and marched in.I hit the dumbbell and started to punch like a mad man.I kept punching and heaving until my body was filled with sweat and even started to dro
ALESSANDRO’S POVLeaving chief’s office without smashing the head of one of his annoying female staff was probably one of the hardest things in my life.Kill her or I die. That was chief’s verdict and he would never change his mind. Chief’s pride was poisonous. He would rather have an innocent person killed than have his order be disobeyed.Now it was clear to me, chief cares about no man. He only cared about the killings I do for him. He could discard even the person people thinks as the most important person in his life without a second thought.And for a spilt moment I wondered what life, loyalty really is all about.“Isabella…” I mumbled and sighed again.Why isn’t her god helping her anymore...?I drove to a restaurant to grab a meal.Talk about the devil. I bumped into Isabella as I held open the door to walk in. she was surprised to see me. I could see the hint of fear in her eyes the moment she saw it was me and wanted to flee. I wonder if she already knew I was trying to kill
That fateful evening, Lorenzo was as usual smoking while making plans to hit one of the clubs in town when his work phone began to ring.“Chief?” he muttered, surprised. He let his stick of cigarette drop into the cigarette cup and took a slow sip of his drink.“Chief,” he said into the phone.“I have a minor job for you. Meet me in my office now.” chief had told him and hung up.Lorenzo’s head slanted as he further stared at his phone in confusion. Chief never relayed work issues directly to him. And with the way he sounded, it was clear Alessandro wasn’t included in whatever job chief had for him. In fact, chief never gave him assignments without Alessandro’s presence or awareness.Several reasons as to why chief could have left out Alessandro in this job bombarded his head but he shrugged them off, quickly prepared and left for chief’s office.“This lady you met in your last mission, you still remember her face, don’t you?” chief had asked the moment he stepped into his office. As
CHIEF GIOVANNI FACILITYThe heavy sole of shoes thudding against the hard floors echoed through the walls of the place.Chief Giovanni had just gotten down from his car and was headed straight to where the captured Isabella is kept in long strides with his men. Chief like many other rich drug lords have the places, buildings especially where they carry out most of their shady deals secluded from the city and eyes of the law.This facility was just one of them. From the outside, it looks nothing special until one steps into it. “Where is she?” he asked as he walked past one of the security men in the corridor.The man followed him, trying to match his pace. “First room, sire.”Isabella was guarded by two other men including Lorenzo himself. The moment chief stepped in, Lorenzo bowed his head.Chief’s eyes settled on the lady.“Did you find out which family she is from?” he asked taking another step inside.“Nothing special sir. Just a mere girl from country-side.”Chief scoffed, disap
