ALESSANDRO’S POVEven with my wound and my tired body, I still couldn’t get the much required sleep. After staring blankly at the ceiling for the most part of the night, I was up early the next morning and going through some documents.The next morning, a knock sounded on my door.“Come in...” I said knowing it would be no other person but Dominque.“Boss,” he pushed the door and walked in but stopped after taking two steps. I briefly looked up and nodded him to come further in.“How are you feeling now?” he asked.I chuckled a bit.Been quite a while I heard that question.“How is the security? Any breeched yet?” I asked, intentionally ignoring his question“None for now. All secured. If I may ask...” he stopped and hesitated for a bit. I sent him a go ahead look.“Did your friend betray you? Is that why you came in blooded...And what are these papers? Are you leaving the city?”I looked up to meet his face briefly before I lowered my head back to the files in my hands. He sure asks
WRITER’S POV“Hey! Chief is here!” one of the men yelled to the other men who scrambled up and dashed out of the room.They met chief trotting into the place looking very serious.“Where are those traitors?” chief gritted out.“They are over there, chief.” one of the men now assuming Ottavia’s position said and pointed towards inside.Chief continued in.It was at that moment, Lorenzo, completely exhausted sensed the presence of chief.“You can’t have your men humiliate me! we are supposed to be business partners!!” he barked to get chief’s attention.Chief paused for a bit and looked towards his men, “Who is that bastard?”His men exchanged looks of confusion. They wondered if chief had alongside discovering a shocking truth lost his memory.“Chief, he is the man that took the building contract from you...”Chief nodded slowly. He almost forgot about him.“Bring him down,” he commanded and Lorenzo was untied from the height he was hung and dragged down.Two of the men kicked his knee
LORENZO’S POVI froze in my steps on hearing the loud gunshot.Who could it be? I wondered but then it had to either be the man or the woman. Whatever, I have so much to worry about and couldn’t afford to worry about some strangers that got themselves trapped in chief Alegra’s nest so I just hissed quietly and continued out of the place. The old geezer looked like one that easily changes his mind.I found my car still parked outside.“Phew...” I breathed, got in and drove away. There was one important thing I must do before any other thing.I drove straight to the organization.“I need to see chief, now...” I told the lady receptionist.She lifted her face from the laptop before her, peered very briefly at me after which she grabbed the telephone and put a call across to chief.At one point, she briefly took off the telephone from her ear, faced me and asked, “Chief is asking if you have news on the mission?”“Ur, not on that but this is...”“No, chief.” she said to chief before I cou
ALESSANDRO’S POVI am in the computer room making sure every connection is in place and no breech when my personal phone started to ring.Knowing I only communicated to Mattia in that phone, I quickly took it to answer but was instead met with an unknown number.I halted.I had sternly warned Mattia from using an unknown number to call this number nor give it to anyone else. Although I already had the security in my house block off or redirect my location in case if anyone tried tracking my location, still I wondered who could be calling me.First I checked the time. It was some minutes pass five in the evening.I left the phone to ring and it ended without picking up.One thing only made sense to me in that moment, Mattia has been discovered and captured by chief. I told him to leave but he wouldn’t listen.The phone began to ring again.“Boss, don’t pick up. It could be a trap again...” Dominique said.“He could be in trouble...”“Or he could be used to lure you into a trap!” his vo
WRITER’S POV“Aaargh!” Otavia groaned and clutched his legs. Blood pumped out of his right leg and he clenched his teeth hard.Chief Alegra was still pointing the gun at him but this time at his forehead. He sneered and took a step close to Ottavia. “You dare take my wife in right under my nose...Tell me why I shouldn’t end your life this instant and do the same to that bastard of yours!”“Kill me! do to me anything but don’t harm my child. He is only but an innocent child...please...I beg of you...”Every vein in chief Alegra’s face popped up violently as he stood, almost at his breaking point, struggling to stop himself from pulling the trigger even though his whole self yearned to see the traitor before him fall to the ground dead as he heard him beg for the life of the boy he bore through betrayal.He grinned wickedly as an idea hit him. “I can’t let you die easily... traitors like you deserve a slow painful death...”“Treat him his wounds and torture him until I say otherwise...”
WRITER’S POV“Damn you! Useless bastards!” chief Giovanni kicked Lorenzo’s leg for the second time since he got to the organization and was informed Mattia has escaped. It made him even more furious that it was Angelo that rescued him.“How could you be so useless! You let a wanted man overpower you in my own turf! Just one man with zero experience and you with how many men? Get out all of you!” he barked.The men bowed and soon scampered off.“You! Where do you think you are going!” he yelled as Lorenzo made to walk out with the other men.He marched furiously towards him. “Are you really leaving with them?”Chief voice suddenly went calm. He held his collars delicately. “Lorenzo...how long will you let Angelo keep beating you...remind me again...you started training here at the same time with him, isn’t it? So why, why do you let him win you all the time?”Lorenzo boiled inside of him and no matter how much his fist clenched and unclenched, there wasn’t Alessandro’s face to release
ISABELLA’S POVAs I ran out of my room, I bumped into a hard chest and I froze into it. Knowing it would be no one else but Alessandro, “oh sorry I hadn’t seen you come this way...” I quickly mumbled, too embarrassed to look up.“Aren’t you leaving my body? Look, I know I am very handsome and it’s easy to fall in love with me but don’t...” I heard him say. It was then that it occurred to me I was still glued to his body. Shit! I jumped away, totally flushed.“Me? fall in love with you?” I scoffed with disgust.“Should we check?” he dropped shocking me further.Before I could say another word, he had me pinned to the wall and worst of it all, he has his eyes fixed on me all these while. I could have sunk into the ground or probably vanished if I had the power. I was going to act tough and match his gaze without flinching but as I stared right back at him, I realized one shocking fact. I have feelings for him!Once I discovered this, I slipped through under his arms and dashed off with
ALESSANDRO’S POV“Let her be. “I told Dominique when he wanted to go bring Isabella down for breakfast. I guess she was still shaken from the previous night and would probably feel awkward having breakfast me.With her absent, the room was quiet as we ate in silence saying nothing but few words amongst us. The past few days, I had always looked forward to eating breakfast because of Isabella. She rattled a lot, if her mouth wasn’t busy with chewing food, then she was talking.At first I didn’t like it as I enjoyed quietness and enjoyed eating in silence. The major part of my life, if it wasn’t while I’m working, I ate alone in silence but since she came into my life, I suddenly craved for some noise while I ate.And that morning as I ate, I was reminded of the thought that hit me the previous night.Again, I shook it off and focused on my food.If there was something I was perfect in, it was handling my emotions, knowing when to let them show and when to completely shove them under t
