Who could that be? I questioned as I stopped the shower from running directly on my head. I shook the water off my hair and dried my unwashed body with the large white towel o pulled out from the rag. I did a quick but tight wrap around my waist and made a knot with both edges of the towel, it stood out from my stomach like a huge bump. The knock came again as I hurried out to get the door.“Yeah, what do you want?” I asked, disinterested as I pulled the door to see who was there.“Enzo”, I bluffed with my hand covering my mouth as I spoke. I didn't want to offend him in any ways plus he still had that huge bottle of liquor in his hand, only that he had forgotten to come upstairs with the glass. I studied his face for a moment before folding my arms across my chest to give him a straight faced look.“What are you here for man? Your room is that way, I guessed you missed your way or something?” I tried so hard to understand why he was standing at my door with his liquor in his hand lik
“Here chief. We found this cell phone just behind the bars at the entrance of the other hall. I guess it fell out when he tried to run off”, Spider's voice came booming as he approached us in the dimly lit room. I groaned, angered and pained that I didn't shoot myself. The bastard knew better. “Nice one Snipper. We better get going guys before the authorities come. You all know how they sniff and smell crime like food” I chipped in a little humor in the order. I thought that's a yes but not to my most loyal boys. They've been with me through thick and thin and just a moment ago one of them saved my life. I took the cell phone from Snipper and began to walk away.“The body boss, we haven't left our mark on it”, Dragon told me.“No Dragon, we don't need to do all that in the bastard no one is going to look for him anyways” I scoffed and continued to walk. “Dragon”, I called out. He rushed forward with the pack of citrate, then he quickly placed it in my mouth while I continued to work
I felt ashamed looking at him now.I moved the gun slowly before looking down at the dead man on the floor. His eyes were open and his mouth gushed more blood. “He didn't tell me who sent him,” I said as I wiped the blood off the gun with the white handkerchief I pulled out from my pocket. I wasn't scared of leaving it on the floor because as usual no one was coming to investigate his death. He was a notorious criminal even the government has been looking for. That is the reason he came to this hilly part to hide. He knows all the exit and hidden g routes from the woods. The sound of heavy boots approached us as we walked out. My other men met us half way down the large corridor. “Is there any trace of some sort that can give us what we want? I just need to know who sent him to do this. There's someone behind all of this and finding that one person is becoming my greatest nightmare guys” I spoke with frustration in my tone.I ran a quick hand over my hair.“How about his phone? We co
I grinned at him, a sign that I am angry and practically planning to devour him with my bare hands. I wasn’t naïve in the game, the punches, and the strikes. Matter of fact this was the best part of being a mafia Lord. “You want this huh? I spoke with my hand tilted up and my hands laced together in a tight knot.“Come on boy don’t be stupid”, he said to me as he waited, agitated. I cracked my fingers one more time before walking hurriedly to meet him. By the time we stood eyeball to eye boy he tried to hit me first but I was smart enough to block his punch off. I held his hand so tight that I thought he couldn’t move but he was as slimy as an earthworm. I reached for his shirt and pulled him over, over turning him so he landed his face on the floor.I smiled as he crashed his face on the sharp granite stone by the side of the abandoned room. Blood began to gush from the wounded spot. He quickly got up brushing her blood away. “You like that huh?” I asked a little question. He furro
A few days after the accident the final decision was made by my gang and I. Dragon sat on the desk in my study, the large black book placed before him as he studied the names of all the people mentioned in the case. “Does she know about this yet?”I guess. He asked, looking at me with curiosity in his eyes.I shook my head at him. “She will find out after the Dragon assignment. Get the boys ready”, I gave the order and headed to the window. I started out with my hands in my pocket as I reminisce on the sight I saw of the condition of the car. I grabbed my car keys and began to walk out.“Come on boys let's go”, I heard him give the order to the other two boys we have to go with.We still haven't found out who sent him but from all indications the enemy wasn't far. Guilliana had told me she hadn't taken the car to any technician for anything but from the look of things it showed it could only be one person. Pablo Escobar.He does a good job with tampering with brakes. The moment we did
The least I could remember was the crash by the road side and the voices I could hear from the distance. But as I struggled to open my eyes I caught figures, human figures vague and blurry as I strained and squinted to get a better view. My fingers twitched, my head banged as I tried to get up.“She is awake” was Maria's soothing voice.“Giuliana?” She called out waiting for me to answer, I tried to speak but my lips were too heavy, my head burned with fatigue, I struggled to focus on the direction the voice had come from. Then she moved closer. I shut my eyes and opened them again.“Where am I Maria? Why is my head heavy? Where is Giorgio?” I asked all the questions at the same time. Just then she placed the boy's warm hands on my bare skin.“Gio is here in Guiliana. You need to rest” she whispered to me but I refused to accept it. Just by the side my eyes caught the monitors beeping and then the drip line connected to my wrist.“Are I dead or something? What happened Maria?”. I aske
“Can I see her now?” I asked the doctor in a firm tone. I just couldn't imagine anything bad happening to the woman I really want to spend my life with. If she lets me of course and even with all the obstacles threatening to push me away I had the feeling that she doesn't want to have anything to do with me aside from being the mother of my child. “You want to see her? Of course that is not a problem but I am sorry to ask Sir, are you family? Is there someone else we can call to at least to know…She's the mother of my child and no! There's no one to call, Maria maybe” I answered sharply with a shrug, cutting him off before he could finish his sentence. He looked at me with a smile on his face.“You can see her then” he said and tapped his table slightly before standing up. He grabbed the stethoscope on his table and began to walk. I got up and followed him. We strolled out of the office and headed straight to the patient ward where Guilliana was kept. I saw her laying on the bed wit
I was at the site where we had just secured for construction when I heard my phone ring. It wasn't the usual ringing sound, the vibration came strong and loud threatening to tear my pocket. Who could this be? I questioned in my mind as I reached out for my jacket. A quick peer into the screen to see the violent caller but to my greatest surprise I had no idea who the caller was. I swiped the green button on the screen to answer. I quickly placed it on my ear and answered.“Hello, who is this?” “Are you speaking to Dominico Salvatore?” The soft feminine voice reverberated into the phone as I listened closely.“Yes.This is him, who are you?” I tried to control the impatient part of me which was in a hurry to dismiss the caller urgently.“Yes, I am Grace, calling from the Landmark hospital south Sicily. Your attention is needed at the moment. We–”,“Hospital?”I cut her off abruptly.“Yes sir. We have one Ms. Guilliana Ricci here and from her contact list you were the last person she sp
I received a quick call from the bank. All the while I have been battling with getting the money retrieved. Only my father seemed bothered about the whole thing. I wonder why Isabella and her mother never moved an inch or blinked twice. That morning before I left home Dominico sent his men to pick Gio for school so Maria and I had relief on that part. I was left alone at home because Maria had some new business partners she needed to meet with. Something she had hoped for months so I couldn’t ask her to take Gio or even wait for me. By the time she left I took time to study the documents I had received from Lisa and also checked my schedule for the day. I owe Gio a one day outing within the month and that’s something I am not even ready to jeopardize or cancel for any reason. I took the bag and strapped it over my shoulder. I hate to wear the mask except when I am going on a mission with the boys which rarely happens because I have all my enemies handled single handedly. The War isn’t
