News of Mr. Cole's death had spread around the entire city. Nathan was well and recuperating on the bed while Kiara and I sat on the couch. Sharon was with Gio in the private home I had put them in just to keep my son safe. I mean no one would know I did it but I had to protect my child first from anything that might occur just in case. This isn't Sicily and things are done very smoothly and orderly here. Thankfully there were no CCTV cameras in his office or the corridor leading to his office so no one will ever suspect besides it's a lounge section anyone could have done it and ran off. We were just laughing about something funny when the news came on again with Mr. Cole's face on the screen and then a picture of another guy who had been declared wanted.Kiara gave me a blank stare, I couldn't just read what was in her heart but I could tell she despised Mr. Cole and men like him just like I did.“Who's that guy?” I asked, quite oblivious about who he was and why he was being assoc
Wheels screeching through the express, my cartel and I drove off to the borders waiting for them. Marcus and his gang planned a sabotage after agreeing to stay with us on the deal. Same client, same bargain yet he thinks he can outsmart us. Signal had already reached us that he would be on the run tonight and we are ready to finish the deal on our way. Illegally of course. He had first threatened to spill out secrets to the authorities and I won't let that happen under my watch. Traitors are meant to be where they should be isn't it? “Increase the speed of the Dragon”. I told him, he was in the steering of my truck. While Spider sat in the front driver's seat I was behind giving the orders as it should.“Go faster. We can't miss him”. “Yes boss”. He increased the speed until we got to the lonely beach. Marcus was standing right at the Jetty with the two large brief cases filled with money. The moment he saw our car corner him he froze. He was meant to take the private boat out of to
After we left the scene she turned to face me with fear in her eyes.“Where are you taking me? I don't even know you”.I continued driving without looking at her for a second.“Trust me kid this is for your own good”. I answered her almost in a chalant way. She wiped off the tears that filled her eyes and looked out the window.“Look I know this is going to sound really foolish but I saw what he did. I could tell that not you but you don't have a choice than do what he wants from you. This is a game”.“I know that but this is my life and I feed from this because nobody ever cares about me or about my brother. Stop the car!” Her tone was loud, rude and resistant.I rolled my head in a circular motion but continued to drive the car without any attempt to stop.“I said, stop the damn car!” She yelled again.“Look kid, we can't do that now. It's not safe. At least not for me but for you. I am doing this to protect you”.She snapped the moment she heard these words. “I don't need your help.
I had my eyes fixated on him watching his every move, his every action and reading in between the lines of his words. I could tell from the look of things that he just wasn't a CEO of a restaurant but he was some dirty crime Lord hiding in the guise. With my bag placed on my lap neatly I waited for his next line of words. The girl was gone.“So, Guilliana. I want to build an app and a site for my restaurant business. Everyone knows Cole's fast food as the fastest growing in the city and I want it to remain that way. No one is hurt, I get my money”. He told me with his eyes wide open. I let out a shallow nod then placed both hands on the table”so, when do you want this app to begin full operation? My team usually takes about one month to build one and an extra two weeks to test run the entire stuff”. I informed him. He caressed his fingers in the air for a while and pouted his lips before giving me a response.“I need it in less than a month. I don't care how you do it. I pay the mone
Everything looked perfect before I stepped out of the car. Men like Mr. Cole always think they can move women around because they have money, I have heard of his rude and saucy statement about women who work their own monies from his numerous interviews and I must say that each time I watched him speak the bile in my stomach increased, my chest popped and boiled with the anger that at this age there’s a man somewhere who still thinks women can not make their own from legit sources. I have been abandoned by my family and the reason I have to work half as hard as I do is because I don’t want my son going stranded or lured by some age mates into the life I ran away from. Thank goodness he is smart and is doing great for his age. With my bag clutched to my right hand I headed straight through the entrance door of the lounge.The hall was quite busy with customers at the restaurant area. I most put into consideration the alluring ambience that held the grandeur to a stand still. Mr. Cole
A week after I found out about Richard, I decided to stay in my own lane, not wanting to see him or have anything to do with him. I knew I had no place being his friend after all that happened. Everything moved smoothly with my work, operations had to begin and I am not the kind of girl who sits months or weeks at home wallowing over some break up. I was raised to be tough, raised by the toughest of Sicily, there wasn’t any space left in my heart for tears. As I strolled to my office holding my tab and briefcase in my hands Sharon rushed up to meet me. From her face I could tell she had a lot to say to me, she squeezed her lip and arched her brows at me waiting for the perfect time before she would spill. I flashed her a quizzical look to see if she would finally voice all the thoughts in her heart out but she concealed them inside of her until I cleared her throat and asked.“Sharon, what is it you have to tell me?” I asked, by now we were already walking through the large lobby lea
