“There's a man at the reception asking to see you” Maria announced on her way back from the mall to get some fruit for me.“A man? This man, doesn't he have a name?” I asked her as I adjusted my head on the pillow. It wasn't the right time to see anyone but if n3ed bee I wouldn't mind.“Yes, he said his name is Jakes, something about audit and I didn't get the other part”, she rolled her eyes.“James? Let him in then. I totally forgot about it” I covered my head in my head.“Oh I see, he must be the same one calling you but the doctors strictly sked me to put your phone away until you feel better and strong enough to handle certain calls”.“You mean I still have my phone?” I asked her “Yeah, you do. It's somewhere in the drawer” She pointed directly to it. Just then there was a knock on the door, she answered and before a second the door ipened to reveal Lisa. “Lisa?”“Oh ma'am you are awake thank goodness” She said as she walked into the room majestically. I have been refused three
I have always known my sudden return would pose a threat to my family especially Isabella and her mother but to think that my father would be a part of the team to kill me was just unbelievable. Of course I didn't trust him either from the beginning after what happened seven years ago and I guess I was foolish enough to think that my sudden show up would make him happy or even ease his burden but I can now see how dangerous and deadly the decision is. The death threats haven't ceased since I stepped foot in Sicily. With my back resting on the pillows for support I stared blankly at Dominico who was busy with all the ideas that he thought would be best for me and Giorgio.“You don't have to worry once you are out of here we would find a way to fix the mess they began” He said with a hint of seriousness lacing his tone for a moment.I puffed hot air out of my mouth and shut my eyes for a minute.“The war isn't over yet” I muffled the words almost to myself as I scanned Dominico's invit
I looked at her pale and distant. She had that smile on her face and I just couldn't resist smiling back at her.“You know who did this to me?” She asked calmly while adjusting herself on the bed.“Yes, I do and I think you need to be careful. Whatever mission you had to go for you should be fast with it. They are smooth and they want you dead by all means Gui”, I informed her.“Why can't you give me their names Dominico. I need that to get to them or maybe we could lie that I am dead to see their reaction or what do you think?” She asked the question with so much confidence.“Well like I said Guilliana Ricci, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. I can't let anyone hurt you, you hear me?” I told her as I swiped through my phone for the picture of the guy who had tampered with the brakes.“You know him?” I asked her but she shook her head. She knew a couple of people but I guess she didn't know this one and I wasn't surprised, Guilliana never had the time to notice anyone except
My heart sank when I saw the stuff falling to the ground. I had thought for a second that I would be facing some monster. I quickly arranged the gun back into my back pocket. I stormed out of the rest room searching the entire room for a single trace of Guilliana. Hurried put to the corridor but there was no one, from the stairs I could see the officers and the doctor still having their conversation which I wasn't sure what exactly they were saying. I looked over at the left as my mind raced through the sight of the empty bed and the thought that I might have lost Giuliana forever, then a nurse approached from the other side of the wing.“Hey Mr. Dominico. You are here already”, she had a smile on her face and it gave me a bit of reassurance. I looked at her with a bit of softness in my heart. “Where-where is she? What happened to her?I can't find her in the patient room”, I stuttered like a baby.“Oh, Mr. Dominico, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. She is in safe hands s
Christian knew I had only come for one thing. To dig out the owners of those lines. He definitely had people working with him to cause all the atrocities happening in the city. He took a look at the cell phone. The skeleton image on display spoke a whole lot about who the owner of the device was.“You went on a raid?” He asked with his eyebrows raised.“Don't be stupid man. I don't do raids remember, just in case you forgot who I am, I will do you the honor. “I am Capo Dominico Salvatore, the 3rd in command in the Salvator family” He also choruses with me with his head jerking from side to side.“I got it, boss. I am sorry I even asked”. “Now get to work and don't be stupid boy”, I told him.“Yes sir” He didn't hesitate to answer before pulling the seat out and slouching his butt into it. He murmured some words to himself and began to punch the keys on his keyboard. His fingers were so fast that I could only imagine him typing one thousand words per minute or maybe I was just overth
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
