"Mum? is that really you?" I asked with teary eyes, I couldn't believe what I was seeing, my mum was standing right in front of me, she wasn't looking hurt in any form, she looked very much healthy and most of all, she was alive "Yes it's me baby" She held both my hands as tear drops effortlessly escaped from her eyes "I've missed you mum... all my life, I prayed to God to bring you and dad back to me" I spoke in a shaky voice, I enjoyed the warmth of her hand on mine "we wouldn't have died in the first place if it wasn't for you" the tone of her voice became harsh"what... what do you mean?" I became confused"You killed your father Jacqueline. What kind of daughter does that? If you hadn't pull that trigger, your father would've come up with something and rescued all three of us" My mother's voice became fierce and loud, I didn't know who this person was anymoreI instantly removed my hands from hers. "It's... it's not like that, I... I never meant to kill dad" I began to cry pr
I enjoyed the view from the window while eating my chips in peace as Lorenzo drove the car."You aren't eating anything, didn't you say you were hungry?" I broke the silence between us but he didn't answer me, he turned the steering with his left hand taking a right turn while his other hand rested on his lap, I don't why but that was quite attractiveIt took us about 2hours to reach our destination, Lorenzo didn't utter a single word to me during the ride, he kept his face emotionless which made me to miss the playful side of Lorenzo I saw earlier, that side I never knew existed in him."Here we are" Lorenzo spoke as he opened the door for me, ushering me to step out."Wow" I stepped out of the car, overwhelmed by the enchanting sight of nature around meThe mountains under the starry sky was mesmerizing, their silhouettes standing tall against the darkness, the moon shun brightly, casting a silver glow on the mountains, illuminating the waterfalls as they gracefully cascade down wit
Lorenzo's Pov"Where the fuck have you been? Raphael, Dante and I have been trying to call you all night, but you weren't picking up" Anthony shouted from the other side of the phone, thank goodness I didn't put the call on loud speaker else I would've damaged my ears"I was busy" I responded rudely"Busy? Busy with what? you didn't come back home, you weren't in your office" I could imagine the vein popping out on his neck as he shouted even more at me"I'm not a kid, if you've got something important to tell me then spill it out" I exasperated"you were supposed to have a meeting with Don Drew of Reapers by 10pm last night, were the fuck where you?" Anthony questioned Shit! I had totally forgotten about all my plans and work I had to do. I was so focused on alleviating Jacqueline's mood"I had to cover up for you, you have a meeting with him at 3pm this noon, don't fuck it up, we don't wanna get on the bad side Don Drew""Sure thing Anthony. Is that why you're so mad?" I asked nonc
Jacqueline's pov Sunday 5:27am I tossed and turned on the bed restlessly, I wasn't able to sleep all night, this was the day I was supposed to kill Tyron and Federico. I dialed Alonso's number several times but cut it before the call could get through. making such call in the Hernandez home is very risky. the walls would definitely have ears "I can do this" I told myself as I sat uprightly on the bed "you've done this to Melinda and many other people, so Tyron should be no different" I tried to convince myself, I knew deep down this was totally different, Tyron has been there since i was baby, I respected him alot. I never thought I'd had to kill the person my dad trusted the most in the mafia but I needed to follow Alonso's teachings, he did warn me never to call him and that I should do whatever is necessary to gain the matrix trust, even if it means hurting myself. I got up from the bed and sluggishly walked down to the kitchen, I turned on the light, and opened the fridge, loo
"I never knew you were once engaged" I tried to start a conversation as I was in Lorenzo's office, prepping for my mission. "Now you know" Lorenzo responded while putting bullets in his handgun "So, what happened? why was it called off" I asked as I adjusted my black hand glove, it's was pretty tight but I didn't mind "I don't do marriages or the idea of forever" Lorenzo answers coldly "Then why proposing to her in the first place if you're just gonna call off of the engagement? or was this some sort of your evil plan?" I chuckled "you know the world we grow up in. I, didn't propose to Cheyenne, it was going to be an arranged marriage but I'm not like my mum who agrees to shit" he tossed his gun at me which I caught effortlessly "Cheyenne seems nice" I spoke sarcastically with a smile on my face "You do know she's the daughter of the man you murdered... right?" I wasn't shocked when he said that, it seems like the matrix knows literally everything about me... well, ex
I walked into the matrix warehouse angrily, several people including Alexa greeted me as I passed by, but I ignored them, I couldn't believe I had killed Tyron, out of all the people in Scarface these fuckers wanted me to kill, it just had to be Tyron, and the most painful part was that he was just getting to spend all the years he lost with his daughter. I got to Anthony's office, I didn't bother to knock or wait for permission to get in, instead I kicked the door wide open and threw the gun Lorenzo gave me at him "What gave you the audacity to do that?" he asked calmly as he stared at the gun that was laying on the floor after it had hit his chest "I've done all you've asked me to do. are you fucking happy?" I asked angrily but he didn't reply so I continued "Of all the people you ordered me to kill, it just had to be Tyron.. well good news for you, Tyron and Federico are dead" "God you're so much like Cristian, if he was alive I bet he'll be proud of you" Anthony spoke
I stepped into the vast ballroom with all the confidence I had in me. The atmosphere was rich with an air of both celebration and caution. I stood at the corner of the room, quietly accessing and savouring every bit of the scene. Crystal chandeliers hung from above, their light casting a golden glow over the room, creating a play of shadows that added to the enigmatic ambiance.Heavy, burgundy velvet drapes framed the tall windows, offering glimpses of the night outside, with the moonlight barely piercing through. In the center of the room, a long, elegant table is laden with an array of gourmet dishes, silver platters filled with delicacies, and crystal glasses brimming with the finest wines and spirits. The scent of rich food mingled with the faint hint of expensive cigars and perfume, creating a heady mix that speaks of luxury and indulgence. Guests, dressed in their finest attire, mingled and converse in hushed tones. The men were in sharp, tailored suits, and the women in
"Pull the damn trigger little girl" "No... I won't" "Listen, baby, it's fine... I will always love you, even In my grave.. shoot me, save yourself" "I can't do it dad" I knew this was my past haunting me in my dream, reliving that same day in my head. I wanted to open my eyes so badly but I couldn't, i tried to my move my body, but I felt paralyzed "You killed your father Jacqueline. What kind of daughter does that?" "No, no... I didn't, it wasn't intentional" "YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR DEATH!!!" "YOU ARE HEARTLESS!!!" "STOP!!" I managed to let out a scream as I sat upright on the bed, tears streamed down my face uncontrollably like a tap that's broken. "I swear I'm not heartless mom" I sobbed as I spoke to myself "Jacqueline" Lorenzo who was sleeping beside me whispered softly as he gently touched my shoulder. "What's wrong Jacqueline?" He asked with concern but I was unable to speak. I found myself soaking into the embrace of Lorenzo, his large arms wrapped
