LUCIUS DEVINE"Where is she?" I questioned, shooting the man standing beside Sandro. Sandro only grinned at me. "Go on. Keep killing. Your blood thirsty self loves this so much""Where the fuck is Lisa, you bastard?!""You were quick but this place has at least a hundred rooms and your darling Lisa is in one of those rooms. She has a tape around her mouth so she can't scream for your help. Now, you have to find which room she is in and get out of here. In three minutes cause this place is going down in rumbles in three minutes" Sandro eyes glinted as he grinned. "You have just three minutes""You motherfucker!" I cursed, lunging at him for a second but I knew that was not what I had to do at the moment. Lisa. I had to find her and I had to rescue her and get the both of us out of this place as soon as possible. Shoving past him with the gun still in my hand, I screamed out her name. "Lisa!" "Everyone of you, fucking search the rooms!" I thundered out an order. "Yes boss" filled
MONALISAI found myself standing in a field. I looked around and found nothing else other than the quite tall green grasses that spanned out as far as my sight could let me see. I wanted to call out for someone or at least move but I found that I could not say a word or move an inch from where I was standing. "Lisa" I heard a voice call from behind me and as I turned my neck to the right side, I found a man standing a bit away from me. He had a small smile on his face. He looked familiar, very very familiar. Then it hit me! My dad!"Dad" I was suddenly able to speak. "Dad, it... It is really you" the words left my mouth but he gave no response and just kept on smiling at me. "Dad? I... I can't move." He still said nothing and he didn't move too. He just remained at the spot where he was and kept on smiling at me. "Lisa" I soon heard another voice and when I turned to the other side, it was him, Lucius."Lucius!" I called. "I can't move and my dad, he... He is there. He is my
MONALISAMy body ached but my heart ached even more. Tears were rolling down my cheeks non stop. I kept wiping at the tears as I ran but I couldn't stop it from flowing. He killed my father! He killed my father! He killed Irene too! Who else had he killed? A mafia man, he must have killed a whole lot of people. He must be so unrepentant about murdering others. Did he even for once regret killing my dad? Or was he just sad that I had found out about it? Pushing the door to our living room open, I ran in and mum immediately got on her feet the moment she saw me. Her hand which was holding a glass of juice dropped the glass slowly, her face not leaving me. "Lisa" she called. "Mum!" I called in a cracking voice and ran into her arms. I needed to cry in someone's arms. I needed the warmth but even more, I needed to be far away from Lucius and everything that had to do with him. This house was his, the things in this house were bought with his money. The very fucking clothes I was w
LUCIUS DEVINEIt was all over. My head was throbbing. My heart was aching and my fists were clenched tightly. I was standing at the balcony, a hopeless look on my face. No, I wasn't fucking hopeless. I was going to get Lisa back. She was mine and I was hers. And not even this would tear us apart forever. "Fuck!" I cursed, throwing the glass of beer in my hand across the wall. "You bastard!" I yelled at my own self, grabbing the bottle of beer and throwing it across the wall too."If only I hadn't killed Seb!" I wanted to hit myself. I wanted to hurt myself. I made Lisa cry. I was the reason she was hurting both physically and emotionally. I wanted to be the man behind her smiles and laughter but instead, this was what I turned out to be. A man who made her shed tears uncontrollably and still couldn't let her go. I was selfish and I could never get over my selfishness when it came to Lisa. I could not let go of her. I would do anything and everything to make her forgive me and l
MONALISA"We are here" Mum said softly as we walked into the hotel room we had just booked for the night. "We will be here only for tonight. Tomorrow, we will leave for a friend's place and be there till I finalize renting an apartment. But I am also thinking about buying a house. I have saved up enough to do so" Mum added but I really didn't have it in me to give a single response. There was nothing I wanted to do more than jump onto the comfy looking bed and cry myself to sleep. Today was the worst day of my life. I glanced at the clock on the bedside table and realized it was a new day already. "Mum" I called in a weak voice and I saw tears gather in her eyes instantly but she took in a deep breath and just hugged me again. "I really want to ask him why he did that. I really want to ask him why he killed Seb and acted like a true friend for years. I really want to know" mum sobbed and I patted her back. My eyes stung but the tears were not pouring out like earlier. It seemed l
MONALISA "I just finished talking to...." Mum walked into the room and saw me dropping her phone. "You were with my phone?" She asked and I nodded slightly. "Was just checking the time, mum " I mumbled. I had had to delete the call log after the call to make sure mum knew nothing of it. "Oh, alright " She gave me a small smile. It was evident she didn't want to drag out any topic so that she won't stress me "You were saying something, mum" I pointed out, bringing the phone issue to a complete end. "Yes, I was saying I talked to my friend and I am going to go see her now. When I get back, we will move to her place and be there for a while. She is into real estate so she would be the one helping with getting us a new house. I figured it would be better if we bought a decent home""Thank you so much, mum" I said to her because I was genuinely grateful to her. "It's nothing at all, Lisa. I should be the one thanking you for being strong and being by my side. You didn't deserve any
MONALISA"Back then. Years ago, your dad was in the same line of business that I am now in" Lucius started, his eyes searching for mine but I avoided his gaze, processing carefully all the information. Sandro had told me this but I still held onto the tiny hope that this was going to be another version of the story, a version that would perhaps sooth the aching in my heart a little. "And I... I was under your father for a brief while" he continued, letting his thumb swipe over my hand gently and affectionately. "I will be nothing but honest so I am going to say the truth that your father was... He wasn't the best person to be underneath. I spent only a few months with him but the most scars I have on my body was caused during my time with him. Your father didn't care about a single person other than himself and his family. I knew he loved his family, everyone knew. Seb would only smile when he got a call from your mum. I only ever saw him look human when he talked to your mum. He w
MONALISAI pulled away from Lucius immediately, feeling my head get heavy and my body freeze instantly. My palms turned sweaty and my heart started pounding, almost painfully fast and hard. What was I supposed to do in this situation? What was mum doing here? How could she have found out about this in this way?I could see the disappointment in her eyes, the rage on her face. Before I could call her to try to explain whatever or just to say something or anything, Devine had grabbed my hand and pulled me to his side, almost protectively. "Let go of me!" I tried to wriggle my wrist out of his grip but he held onto me firmly. "There's no point hiding this anymore. We should have said it already anyways." "You don't know what you are doing" I tried saying. "Let go of my daughter. Now." Mum spoke up, finally taking a step towards us. "I know you have heard a lot and I know that right now, you want nothing more than to tear me into pieces and stab me a thousand times but I would love
