Making sure no one was in sight, I made my way further to look for somewhere to setup, I had
to stay hidden, couldn't afford to be seen. This mission meant a lot to me, I couldn't fuck it up.I was sneaking around like a crazy ninja when I heard a sound, quickly, I hid behind a pillar withheld breath as one of the staff passed with clean sheets neatly folded on her hands. Releasingthe breath I was holding I continue on my way...I had to hurry up because soon people wouldstart showing up for the ball. After searching for fifteen more minutes I decided that the safest place where I wouldn't be seenis somewhere above, so with that in mind i began the climb back into the ceiling....successfullyclimbing up, I situated myself where i could see everything from my position. From where I was,I could see the stage clearly and by the time people start flocking in, I'll be able to spot anyonefrom here. Just perfect.Setting my gun and putting the silencer. I plug in my earphones because i needed to stillcommunicate with the don and other men involved on the mission.Soon enough the hall started to flock with people, you could see how sophisticated and richeverybody looked. The women with their expensive dresses and the men with their suits thatscreamed money. From my view here I could see some women giving flirty looks to themen…..well, gathering like this are where woman catch the big fishes.Some men are so disgusting, even with a woman on their arm they were still checking out otherwomen. It wouldn't surprise me that they bring different women here every year, I wouldn't put itpast this Mafia men."Boss...boss"I was snapped out of my thought from Gabriel's attention being called for throughthe earphones I was wearing. "Target has arrived" said the voice..."already in position" I replied.Very quickly the hall was filled, now i see why this hall was picked, there are so many people.This hall currently held the most dangerous men in the world. The cops problems would besolved if this hall supposedly blows up...bringing down these deadly men with it. I could feel thetension in the room from my position here….it felt like everybody wanted to cut each othersthroat, like they'd rather be spilling blood and drinking it rather than wining and dinning withpeople they'd rather kill...dark atmosphere.Damn..It was getting really hot stuck in here, couldn't wait to be done with this...the moment theidiot is down I'll be out of here, then I'll have a nice bath in a fancy hotel because basically I can'tgo home, told daddy dearest I'll be spending the night at a friends house....I've had one hell of aday.A pretty looking lady all dolled up climbed up the stage to do some introductions...welcomingeverybody for coming and mention some names. When the name of the man i was supposedlyaimed at killing was mentioned, my heart did a little kick...like damn am doing it, am gonna shotsomeone.After the introduction and all that, it looked like everybody was getting to know eachother...actually from an onlooker it would seem like business men casually discussing business.But I knew better. These men are anything but friends. If there was a super power that showspeople's true nature am sure most of them would be carrying horns and tails, because I knowbehind that fine tailored suit lies dangerous devils that if their fake facade is removed people willrun for the hills.Once again, a man about my father's age climbed up the stage with a wine glass in hand...thiswas getting boring, it's taking longer than I thought it would... I've been waiting for the go aheadsign since but nothing yet, I just couldn't stand these people anymore can they be any fasterwith whatever they're doing so I can get the hell out of here. The man raises his glass aseveryone followed suit, making a toast to further success and more alliance.Shit this old dude should come for slaughter already...It beginning to annoy me, this is why amnever interested in attending all these meaningless gatherings, parties like this, they bore me todeath.Suddenly I heard the name I've been waiting for...."Introducing tonight's host; Mr Dante Lorenzo"said the voice and at that moment I kicked into action, I was super hyper, I think my heart beatkind of increased.At the mention of that name it felt like everything stopped, the place became dead quiet, thisdude must be powerful to bring such reaction from people, am sure it has something to do withhis age, he must have been the don for a very long time, that why people are scared of him."Gabriel do you copy"....I heard from the earphones I had on. "Yes, copy that"..I replied. I justcouldn't wait to see this guy...I don't know what he did to my dad, but that's for another time, myguess which am sure is very correct is that perhaps, he must have been in my dad's way in theirline of business... lemme say a rival...so for my dad's peace of mind he has to eliminate him.Good thing he has a willing volunteer like me for the job.Being the good and loving daughter, I took it upon myself to make sure it's stress free and thisguy gets six feet under, probably seven...I couldn't help but smirk at the thought."Boss, target making his way to the stage...do you copy"....."copy that" I replied. Damn I wasturning into a bad girl or rather am a bad girl, because I don't think any good girl would gladlyrob somebody of their mission of killing someone. So am far from a good girl, left that stage themoment I thought of drugging Gabriel.Coming down from my distracting stupid thoughts...now is not the time to be lost in my thoughts,not when I have a dangerous mafia don to end. So focusing back on the mission I look backdown as I see two men ascend the stage, both seem to be young and well built. So the old manis scared and has to make his precious bodyguards go up first...but as it is, nothing can savehim from me.Looking closely at the two men, they seem to be very fine young men, the one with black hairespecially, his face is so hard and I wonder why he has a frown on his face... maybe like me hedoesn't want to be here, but he has to baby sit grandpa...I couldn't help but snicker silently. Bythe way where is the don, did he finally smell dead and decided to flee?All of a sudden, one of the guys stepped forward towards the podium and at the same time Iheard through the earphones..." target in position, ready to fire"....and like it was all staged Iheard the man on the stage say in a gruff voice "good evening ladies and gentlemen, I amDante Lorenzo"WHAT!! At that moment I froze. This can't be happening, he was supposed to be Old...I picturedhim with the grey hair and everything not this Greek god standing there, am supposed to shothim not ogle him. What could make my father have problems with this man...did my little birdieforgot something out.I was once again reminded to position my gun to get ready to fire at the given time. That alonebrought me back to why I was here. I couldn't let some pretty boy ruin this for me, think of liveshe has taken, all the evil he has done....I used that to prep talk myself.I've worked so hard for this, I remember everytime I ask my dad to join the team and him tellingme I have no place in it. With that in mind, I made up my mind."Prepare to fire" said the voice again and then finally I heard the long awaiting "Go ahead""Fire"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
