Chapter 2Gio“Gio, over here over here!” I hear camera flashes in the background as crowds of people behind red velvet rope vi for my attention like hungry vultures swooping down on their poor unsuspecting weary prey crawling desperately away from their inevitable doom. Waiting to swoop down and tear them to shreds. Given the chance, he was sure that would be exactly what they would do. These damn paparazzi were always like this especially when he or any one of the Berlusconi family was concerned. Especially now that we were a very deeply rooted Mafia family worth billions and untouchable in the greater Chicago area. Sure, the family wasn’t exactly out there making Godfather moves anymore but it also wasn’t too far off from how we ran things just more quietly and corporately instead. Multi-million-dollar conglomerates malls, shopping centers, groceries, strip clubs, bars, clothing store chains you name it the Berlusconi family had a hand

“Isn’t that what monsters like you do kill innocent people who get in your way?”“I am sorry for your loss Tara I really am and contrary to what you think I liked the old man. As for the men I killed the reason their dead now is because they were kidnapping and trafficking foster kids. I’m sure as someone who dedicates your life to protecting them you can understand why that shit couldn’t fly.”“You’re such a fucking liar, you’re just a damn monster who doesn’t care who he hurts. Why should I believe you after you spent the past three months hunting me down like a fucking dog?”“I wouldn’t have needed to hunt you down if you would have just accepted my request to join me for dinner. But I never killed your friends if your sure someone might have hurt them, I’ll hunt them down and drag them back myself I promise you that Tara.” He says looking at me with an intensity that was beyond my expectation.“So, you really didn’t do anything to Stella’s car to make them crash?” “Of course, not s

What the Fuck is my life right now I got to get out of here get far away maybe Ethiopia, Egypt, Ghana. I always thought it would be a beautiful lifetime dream come true to return to the motherland someday maybe now I'll know the truth of my heritage since it looks like I’ll have to flee the country soon. As I announce my exit and try to slowly creep away. I hear Gio’s call out. "No, baby it's cool we’re almost done here. How about you come to take a rest on the bus and you can ride back with me to our place." I grip the handles of my vespa as I scream internally. What!? Why would I do that? Then I hear "Baby don't worry about the bike my cousins will help you." As a swarm o

                                    Chapter 3                           Three months later:TaraI look over at the small clock on the bottom right corner of my computer screen and as I quickly wrap up my work for the weekend logging off my computer and forwarding my emails to myself so I could head out. I hear a knock at my office door and my heart leaps into my throat as the knock continues two taps and a double tap letting me know it was Evet. I let out a long breath I didn’t even realize I was holding and quickly walk over to the door to let her in. I close the door immediately after yanking her in and locking the door shut. “Hey Tara, you’re all clear for the back staircase.” she whispers updating me on today’s escape route from work as she has been for the past three months ever since the UFCP charity

“Nothing sweetheart, I'm just having a contracting discussion with my family about our inheritance property and whether we should sell or renovate it. I forgot you said you were taking these tunnels back home since I was working late tonight.”"Oh, that's right I forgot you said your family-owned property out this far still, sorry baby I'll get out of your way."She says and I get the intense feeling she’s about to disappear for good this time. Knowing that if I let her leave without out at least an escort my uncles would get suspicious and refusing to give her a way out I speak up. "No, baby it's cool we’re almost done here how about you come take a rest on the bus and you can ride back with me to our place."She looks around quickly assessing her options when she doesn't answer I say."Baby don't worry about the bike my cousins will help you."
