You Can Run But... Where is Maya?
Derinem stared at the scene with two of his men, watching the tattered bushes that seemed odd because of the part where Luca had been found, bleeding from his head and shoulders.His heart tightened as his heartbeat increased. Who would have done this? Shot Luca and kidnapped Maya. It wasn't just any kidnap game, for there has not been any call whatsoever. And the men have not left a single piece of evidence that would point them out.He had always felt this could end like this, but how could he have known it could? He remembered how jumpy and cold he had felt when he heard Luca groan and Maya's struggle scream; he recalled how helpless he had felt, not able to do anything, staring at the phone.The men stood behind their Don, watching him gaze at the crime scene, taking all his willpower not to pick up a gun and crash at Alfredo's crib. Not trusting himself, he had sent soldiers to grace the place instead of him.He raked his hands through his hair. He couldn't stop feeling responsib
You Can Run But... Where is Maya (2)
She could not mistake that voice for anyone else, though she had heard it just a few times, and even though he and Damon's sounded a lot alike except for the tone, it was easy for her to decipher who it was.She swallowed, relieved a little that it wasn't Don Damon. If it was, a bullet in the back of her head would have been proof.Allysia trembled, his warning echoing in her ears, "I won't ask twice..." He knew then, and he knew she knew. But she only knew. She couldn't do anything about it."Allysia..." He growled urgently as she felt the cold tip press into her head again."Plea—please do—don't kill me.""Your cooperation determines that," he withdrew the gun from her head, "now drive."Her sober voice was puzzled: "Where?""To where the fuck you were about to go, damnit!"She started the ignition immediately, and even though her hands trembled on the steering wheel, she drove onto the road to the familiar route.She looked up at the rearview mirror, catching a glimpse of him. Seein
You Can Run But... Presidents Son
Maya watched him stare at the picture a little more, and in those few seconds, her fear grew so much that it was becoming painful even to breathe. She wouldn't be alive in a moment; she just knew it.She watched him move to the picture and pick it up, turning it and facing it downwards.Maya felt pity for the man; she could see the raw pain in his eyes; no wonder he hadn't moved on yet."You see, Maya. If you ask people, what do you think of President Giovanni?" He pulled his jacket, threw it on a sofa, and proceeded to undo his cuff. "Some say he's a good man, generous, blah blah," he shrugged, "but some say he's a monster! The side of me experienced determines that."Maya shook her head, trying to stop her chest from heaving so severely that she thought she would get a heart attack.His shirt sleeves folded to his arm, he stood before her, his fist clenched, his salt and pepper hair cut in a low cut. He was a fine man; he didn't look acceptable to her then."Who killed my son?"She b
You Can Run But... First Mistake
Derinem sat back on the chair, staring at the man in front of him on the other side of the desk, still surprised to see him there.Silence prevailed in the office, with his two bouncers standing at the door. Derinem knew he was taking a risk by being there, but what if he took a chance? The goal was for him and Maya to leave the hidden house alive."It is so unlike you to come at night, Don. That's your brother's thing." Giovanni sat up, his eyes on the demon before him.Only one thing would have brought him there."I came to get Maya. Bring her out."The audacity! Giovanni clenched his teeth, sneering at the proud idiot who had just walked into his den without his men.But knowing this one, he had to be careful."Who is Maya?"Derinem couldn't hold back a little chuckle; he placed his chin on his hands and said, "Giovanni, come on; don't be a coward. You were brave enough to kidnap her. Own up to it."The older man snorted. Here he was, just Giovanni, but in daylight, in the view of e
You Can Run But... Here Comes The Devil
Damon sucked on his cigar, watching Jack zip up the last body in the bag. The small room where they were was illuminated by red lights, causing more chill for anyone who passed by that door.Even then, they could still hear the blast of music coming from the main pub as music bounced from wall to wall toward them.Dancing and sweaty bodies gliding against each other, making it hard to pass without coming in contact with the mouth of a drunk straight to your nose If you weren't Don.He glanced at the ceiling, blowing the smoke away. He had been here longer than usual, sorting out business, especially betrayal to the Mafia. And he was surprised there were many of them posing as loyal followers. He stared at the gun in his hand and the bodies on the floor. It came with repercussions.Jack, cleaning his bloody hands on his suit pants, walked towards him, leaving the rest of their men to do the work. Damon offered him a cigar, and he picked one out, sniffing against the brown wrapping."Cap

"I missed everything about you, Maya," he continued, trailing the murmurs against her lips, parting the robe with his hands while he planted kisses into her, butterflies dancing in her belly.Suddenly he stopped to look at her face, discomfort tearing at her from every angle. Her head was filled with silent prayers, hoping he wouldn't see her pain and spot the injuries. If Derinem were right, the balm would ensure no scar remained after a day.He stood up straight, and she quickly lowered her face away from the eyes that bore into her face."where's Derinem?"The name sent sparks flying down her neck, making her hair rise. She swallowed and whispered, "I don't know, Maestro."He smiled, folding his sleeves up his arms, "good thing you don't know." He walked to the door, saying, "I'll be back," He was gone, quietly closing the door behind him.She heaved a sigh of relief and sat back gently on the bed, her fingers patting her cheekbone.He was back, her freedom cut short, and something
You Can Run But... Under His Glare
She stood by the window, looking down at Sir Derinem, pushing Luca's wheelchair down to the opened car, and one of Damon's men putting sealed boxes into the booth.It was already evening—in fact, eight on the dot—when Lina bombarded her as she was fixing her cover-up makeup to prepare for bed. Lina had told her that Sir Derinem was leaving, and she was skeptical until she went to the window to see this.She couldn't believe it was happening, opening and closing her eyes against what she knew was reality.Sir Derinem was leaving, going back? Had she done something wrong to make him leave? Was it because of what happened the night before?She heard Lina behind her, banging and zipping away with more force than was needed. Maya was scared she would ruin something or even hurt herself.She knew the girl was angry, and when she turned to see her red face snooping around, looking for a chore to take her anger out on, it was confirmed."Lina?" she called her softly, "are you ok?""No, Madame,
