บททั้งหมดของ Love in Thorns, Guns and Shackles: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Elena walked to the middle of the road and lay down, she was really terrible at acting but this wasn’t a difficult scene, was it? In a few seconds, she could see the front light of the incoming car; she began to raise her hand like asking for help.She was nervous and a part of her wished that the man wouldn't stop the truck. Yes, if he didn’t, he would run her over, but wasn’t that better than becoming a criminal? She had no idea what these men were going to do to the truck driver but it would definitely be something bad, and she already felt guilty about it.If anything bad happened to the man, she would be responsible for it. She didn’t want to live with such guilt, especially when she was not sure how long before she was killed as well. But on second thought, did she deserve to die? Was it right to die for someone else? She might not be a criminal but she was no saint either, she had done some pretty bad things in her life.The truck was fast approaching, honking loudly and contin

Anna knocked on the office door and checked her watch; she was dressed in regular house attire- a short sleeved light shirt and pajamas down. She glared at the camera impatiently, while wondering what Baron White was still doing here by now.Finally, the door opened and the white skinned man stared at her with keen eyes, probably surprised to see her. “Anna? What are you doing here so late at night, and in Pajamas?” he queried with furrowed eyebrows.“I should be asking you that. I went to your house hoping to find you there, but I was informed that you were here, so I had to come.” She replied.“Well, my wife is mad at me, I am kind of sleeping in the doghouse tonight, so I thought it would be better to crash here,” Baron uttered and took a bite from the chicken wings in his hand.Anna wrinkled her face and looked at him with mixed expressions. “Your wife kicked you out of the house? What did you do again, Mr. White?” she asked and smirked.“Hey, don’t give me that look, it wasn’t my

The party was bubbling with entertainment, music in the air, flashy lights illuminating the whole place. Elena was sitting alone at a table, she had come here with three of the gang members, Mateo and two other made-men.The two men were outside while Mateo was inside, keeping an eye on her. Even though she couldn’t see him, she knew that he was watching her from a corner. The man she had come for was two tables away, he was surrounded by about five able bodied young men, obviously his guards.Elena was trying to come up with a plan, a way she could get closer to him. she wouldn’t just go there and sit, he was a high profile fellow, he could have his men toss her out of the party the next moment.She also couldn’t confront him and ask for his phone at gunpoint, his men obviously had bigger guns; they would off her before she even made a move. Elena was confused; she had no idea what to do next. Leonardo had made it clear that if the mission wasn’t successful, he would kill a member of

Lorenzo stood at a dark spot watching as Leonardo dragged Elena down the stairs, he couldn’t understand what was going on between those two. Few minutes later, Leo walked out of the basement.Lorenzo quickly hid away behind a pillar and waited for Leo to walk past, the Mafia Boss walked past him muttering some inaudible words, he sounded really angry; Elena must have really pissed him off.Leonardo suddenly paused; he sniffed and turned around like he could smell something odd. Lorenzo hid himself properly, moving very gently to avoid making a sound. He noticed Leo walking back slowly towards him; this wasn’t good, if the Boss caught him spying on him, he would be in big trouble.Leo got closer to him and his heart began to race. It didn’t matter that he was older than Leonardo; the Don could punish anyone he wished to. If Leo could sentence his own uncle to death, how much more someone that wasn’t blood related?Even if Leonardo doesn’t feel the need to punish him, this would be a re

“Alright ma’am thanks for providing us this information. We would look into it and find out if it's the truth. If it is so, I promise you, we would bring the offenders to justice. We are yet to get a formal complaint from the man in the picture, but our men will investigate right away and confirm from him.Please note that we would not be able to carry out further investigations if the Victim refuses to make a report, as long as he doesn’t file charges, we won't be able to do anything. But if he does, I assure you that the culprit would be brought to face the law, they would be brought to justice.” The police detective replied to Anna.She had just reported the incident to the police as an eye witness, not minding the implications of her actions and how badly it could affect her. Right now she was really angry and it didn’t matter to her if she was putting her life at risk. Although she had threaded carefully by not mentioning the Mafia in her statement, it was better the police found
