I walked out of my bathroom feeling relieve wash through me. I walked to my closet to get
everything ready. I put the outfit I've put aside for this particular mission into my bag...the outfitgives me the killer girl vibes...i put the guns i'll be needing and other necessary tools..afterarranging everything I needed for my little mission. I picked a simple top and jeans to put on...Icouldn't go out dressed like an assassin. I wouldn't hear the end of it.After making sure everything is ready I keep my bag aside then walk out of my room to find mydad.I found him in his office staring seriously at his computer. "Dad I need to talk to you"...."What is itprincess"...he asked.. I rolled my eyes at the nickname because it just reminded me that I ambeing treated as one..no offense tho because if you check I am the Mafia princess but am nottreated as one but rather am treated as a Disney princess..so annoying. If my dad saw that I justrolled my eyes at him, he'd be giving me an earful.He finally acknowledged me after finishing whatever it is he was doing with his computer...Iknew better than to disturb him when he is being this serious, especially since I know he is in atight fit because of the mission tonight."Yes princess"..he repeated again and I fought the urge to roll my eyes. "Dad, I just wanted to letyou know I'll be staying over at Stella's tonight since you'll be out tonight"....."being a big baddon" I thought to myself and chuckled silently. If only he knew. "That's okay princess...again thatname...just be safe and don't think of going clubbing" he warned…"yes dad i won't"....I toldhim...I won't be going to a club but a ball...not that i said it out anyway.With that being said I turned to return back to my room..I was running out of time. With my handon the door knob about to turn and leave..he spoke again. "don't try anything funnyprincess".....with those words of his my heart nearly leaped out of my chest like he has caughton to what am about to do but I pushed it down quickly...I couldn't let it consume me. So turningback to him with a smile on my face...I said.."yes dad nothing funny"...but something dangerousif that is okay with you..I thought to myself.I returned to my room, picked up my bag and left the mansion. I threw my bag in the passengerseat and drove out of the house.After driving for a short while..I stopped somewhere secluded..I changed from my jean and topto my killer girl black outfit. I needed something that could fit my mission. I returned back to thewheel to continue my journey. This particular ball is to be held in a five star hotel in one of thebiggest halls and for this particular event every other thing is canceled in that place..they hadthe whole place for themselves.My problem now is how to get in. I reach the hotel and see that the front is heavily guarded andI can't say less for other places.What do I do now?.....I bring out the layout of the hotel and examine it closely.I look for places iknow won't be heavily guarded...and like i switch in my brain, it clicked..the undergroundpassageway that leads to the cold room..that's it.I quickly make my way out of my car...I parked in a distance so no one will notice my arrival. Iquickly made my way to the passage and try as much as I can to stay hidden from pryingeyes...quickly checking left and right I opened the passage and slipped in closing it behind me. Icrawled on my fours and quickly as i could then saw the small ladder that leads to the coldroom. I climbed up towards it, staying as quiet as possible. I reached the last step and triedopening the little window but it was giving me a tough time because it felt stuck.Dammit i cursed in frustration..if I hit it I don't know if someone is in there, it might attractattention which is the last thing I want..so taking a deep breath I took out a flat rod from my bagand tried prying the window open...yes I came prepared...after several attempt the windowfinally gave way. YES! I did a little happy dance in my head.I slipped through the window as quietly as possible. Damn this room is so cold, I silently racedto a hidden spot where I can quietly observe there's no one here...after making quickobservations and spotting no one in the room, I went to the door of the cold room to see if it canbe pried open but as i tried to open the door it refuse to bulge...I tried a few time still nothing..Itried again and realized that the stupid door was chained and locked from outside. Just my luck.I had to act fast. I didn't have time . I needed to think fast or else I'd die as a frozen statue in thisdamn room. Looking around for anything that could save me I looked left, right, front, back andall around me then I finally looked up and the answer to my prayer was just staring down atme...the ceiling...why didn't I think of this earlier and here I was already smelling death.This time it won't be that hard because they already had things stuffed tall enough for me toclimb. All I needed to do was climb carefully and quietly….After successfully climbing, I takeback my previous statement...it was hard..coupled with the fact that i was in a cold room.I opened the ceiling and slipped into it then fixed it back...slowly I crawled again on all fourslooking down to find somewhere safe to land.I spotted a dark room down...I didn't want to be too sure so I stayed quiet with my breath held tolisten for any movement.When I was sure there was no movement...I again opened the ceiling and carefully jumpeddown. I stayed quiet to make sure no one was really down. I quickly started to survey mysurroundings. Finally relaxing, I opened the door to the room, I then quietly stepped out of theroom. I looked left and right making sure one was here. Spotting no one, I began my walk...Finding a quiet place I quickly called the don. This time he picked on the second ring…."doneverything is ready" I cut straight to the chase…"Good"... that's all he said before the line wentdead.I had to call him before setting up cause I've taken a lot of time...Gabriel should have calledsince.With determination in mind I moved to find a place to set up and wait for my target.Just as he was about to stab my fingers, Mathew hit him in the head and I didn't waste time. I took a dagger from the table and plunged it into his heart and the man's eyes went round, surprised at the turn of events. “ I warned you," I said with satisfaction before the man fell to his knees and then he fell facing his side with a thud and I just moved back. “ Mathew," I said in relief as I ran to him and hugged him. “ You're burning up, let's go sit down," I said as I held his hand and we walked to the corner of the room and sat down. “ We have to look for a way to get out of this fucking place," he said with a groan as he rubbed his head. I really don't know what to do right now, these people didn't give two shits about what happens to us and right now Matthew was getting sick. I don't know what they must have done to me. “ You'll be alright, we'll surely find our way out of here," I sounded like I was actually trying to convince myself rather than him. “ There has to be…” I p
“ What is it?" The Don asked, his voice sharp and piercing like he was promising death if what he had to say wasn't worth his time.“ We know where Miss Cara is,” he said and for a minute the room became quiet like everyone was trying to process his words.“ Where is she?" The Don asked, breaking the silence as Angelo walked to him and dropped the laptop in front of him and I quickly got up from my chair to see what he had to show. “ According to one of our sources, Dante, brought in two people to one of his warehouses, a man and a woman and he was able to identify the woman as your daughter.” Angelo said."Then what are we waiting for? We have to get my daughter from that man because believe me if he does anything to hurt my daughter all hell is going to break loose,” The Don said and immediately we all took our seats so we could discuss a plan that would help us rescue Cara without any casualties. Because the Don wasn't joking when he said if anything were to happen to her hell wo
For some minutes it felt like my ears were ringing as everything my mother just said came rushing back in my head. She never really loved me, she wanted to kill me. All because of what? Could I really believe the story she was telling me? Life could be funny sometimes, imagine the woman I spent years crying over, missing her every single day thinking that she was dead. Never did I know she has been wandering this earth planning her revenge.“ Hey, hey," I heard Matthew's voice bringing me out of my thoughts.“ She's not worth it, believe me, don't let her bother you, the only thing we should be concerned about is how to get out of this hell hole, don't think too much," Matthew said and I nodded. He drew me to his chest as his arms protectively wrapped around me.“ Everything will be alright Shorty, everything will be fine," he said, dropping a kiss on my head. It didn't seem to me like things will be alright. I felt like I've been lied to all my life and I was scared to find out who
Matthew!!!Just in time before the knife could reach Matthew, I hit the button just below him. I didn't even notice there was one before, it just happened at the last minute, and it was a fifty fifty decision. How the idea to hit that button came is beyond me, but I just knew something told me to try. The bastards knew what they were doing when they told me to pull out the knife or my friend dies at the given time, they just wanted to keep me occupied with trying to to pull out the knife from it hold rather than try to look for a way to free Matthew from his chains, they were just playing me, they knew I didn't have enough time to figure out how to remove the knife, my focus should have been on freeing Matthew from his chains before the time up. Matthew tried to catch his breath and I could just imagine what was going on in his mind, I just couldn't believe I was mere seconds from losing my best friend and it was right before my eyes but luckily I could do something about it. Those
It's your mother.I looked at Matthew in shock, I didn't understand what I just heard."I understand that we were supposed to do some finding on her before we found ourselves in this mess, so how did she end up here?" I asked him in confusion,"That I cannot answer, but what I have to say is that your intuition was right all along, she was just pretending not to know you, she's was planning something all along" he said as he flexed his jaw, "those cowards practically used me as their punching bag, bunch of morons,""Am really confused Att, why do you think she's working with him, what is she aiming at?.....This also means he already knows my father is the Mexican Don, the more reason for him to keep me, am sure he thinks my father sent me," I said as I exhale in exhaustion, am so hungry, now am thinking back to all the times I've deliberately not eaten even though food was just in front of me, I was currently facing "appreciate what you have till you have it no more."At least I had
I think as I saw the man in front of me no matter how strong I've been holding up my facade grumbled a little, as I felt tears gathered in my eyes, I wasn't wrong when I said addressing him as Dante was too human a name to call him, evil beast was just perfect.The man in front of me, the only man who had shown me what having a real friend felt like, the one man I promised not to get involved in my mess was laying on the ground in front of me, his beautiful blonde hair a mess,Matthew didn't deserve this, I was the enemy not Matthew, he could do what ever he wanted to do to me, but he should count Matthew out of this, if I had been a good friend I would have tried every means possible to reach him, all these while I just concluded that he was busy with work, I should have known that something was wrong, but like the stupid friend I was, I didn't notice, how can I call myself a friend, Matthew was my family, he became a shoulder for me to lean on, never letting a tear drop from my ey
I was a trembling mess inside but there was no way I was going to show that, I would keep my sass till I die, I wouldn't die a scared cow,"Why don't you go ahead and start the fire?" I asked, that was a stupid thing to even say, but I wasn't even thinking at the moment so am not sure what was even coming out of my mouth,I suddenly felt a tight grip on my jaw, it hurt as hell coupled with my uncomfortable position,..."I didn't come here to have a chit chat with you, so mind what you say, the reason I haven't granted your wish is because I see that as being merciful to you, so watch your tongue or I might as well take it off your mouth and send you to hell," he threatened, you can say I've lost all sanity because after being warned not to talk I still opened my mouth to speak,"Not like I wanted to have a chit chat with you, if you had just died like you were supposed to, we wouldn't be here right now," I said, I think I striked a nerve with that because I heard him give an order to s
I haven't heard any news from Matthew in three days, I wanted to worry but told myself that perhaps he was just very busy, there's isn't a day we don't speak to each other, but when I called his brother Derek he told me he haven't heard from him too, he told me it was normal because sometimes when the work load get too much for him, he takes some days away from everyone and everything that could distract him and until he was done with his work he wouldn't come out.I took the day off from work because I caught a cold and didn't want to be sneezing around at work, I'll just chase all the customers away.Since the day I met my mother at the grocery store, I haven't been able to go back to buy the remaining things I couldn't get, I wasn't even in the mood to go shopping, I just needed fresh air, I think the beach would do me good.I went inside my room to get myself ready as I packed everything I would be needing for the beach, my swim suit and mat to lay on, I also packed some snacks,
"Don we have him,"That message was enough to take me back to sleep as I couldn't wait to return back to Italy, each day was drawing closer to when Cara would finally pay for what she did.The next morning, I woke up and got myself ready as I instructed Marshall to tell the pilot to get the jet ready, my business here was already settled, I have to take care of other things.We got on the plane as we flew back heading to Italy."When did they bring him in?" I asked Marshall,........."yesterday morning sir," he said to me as he adjusted his seat belt.Yesterday morning, which means he had spent a day with my men already, I wonder if they already know he is missing, but I guess not, the asshole has a crazy work schedule that when he disappears for days they all think he has taken time of to finish his pending work, they need not worry though, he is safe with me.When we arrived Italy, we drove straight to my warehouse and again I head to the dungeon, well I call it that, what do you cal
