WRITER'S POV"Lure him to that table over there…" Lorenzo nodded to the table under the light in the bar downstairs. They had chosen a noisy and busy bar Incase an unexpected events comes up. He felt his revolver sitting pretty well underneath his pants. Whatever game Alessandro might be playing, he will make sure to burst open his skull if he showed his face. The bar has an upper section made for the very important guests. Some played snookers while others drank, smoke and smooched with some skinny looking women. Lorenzo and Tino sat at the far corner where they observed every movement entering and leaving the bar and especially at the table they had kept specially for their unknown guest. Their plan was to make sure it wasn't a trap and then put whoever shows up (the informant) under hostage while watching every of his movement.Lorenzo kept on glancing at his wrist watch.

*NIGHT*ISABELLA'S POVMy heart nearly sank into my belly when I saw him walking out of his room as I was carrying his meal to his room. He looked like he just got back from a much needed vacation. I could smell the scent of his wash soap even from a distance. He must have had his bath before coming down. His hair, although a bit overgrown, still looked clean and fresh. I wondered what it would feel like dipping and twisting my fingers around the shiny strands but the memory of how he yelled at me made the whole sweet feeling turn into bile. "Oh, you are awake…" I was able to finally say.He said a few words I didn't catch clearly as all I wanMy heart started to pound heavily against my chest with each step I hear him take closer to me. He rounded me and stopped right in my front. I pushed my face down avoiding his gaze. "You have been avoiding me ever since I woke up. Even now. Is there something going on, I mean is there anything wrong?" He asked me. Gosh, how could he ask so in

WRITER'S POV"Oh damn it! These bastards should fuvking stay out of my damn life!" Lorenzo cursed. It was yet another beep of his phone and no doubt he knew it would be those that have bound him in chains. Chief Alegra. He sleepily reached for his phone on the drawer and got hold of it. Once he got hold of it, he silenced it and threw it carelessly on the bed without caring as much as checking the message. Seconds later his phone started to vibrate signifying a call this time around. His teeth clenched. He grudgingly picked up the phone and rightly as he suspected it was chief Alegra calling. He swiped the answer button. "Chief, I understand we are working together but can you fucking let me get some sleep? Do you and your boys have to blow this damn phone off…""I'm in your house. Open the door." He heard a voice say and clink, the call ended. "What?"He scrambled out of the bed. "Right now? In my house? Why?"Lorenzo hurriedly put on his clothes and went to the door. Truly chi

ALESSANDRO'S POVIt has been days of perfect peace. Seeing Isabella everyday that I wake up makes me happy and at peace. Sometimes she wakes in my arms and other times she insists on sleeping in her room. My insomnia surprisingly reduced to a great length. I stopped having nightmares of my mother being stabbed and other nightmares generally stopped to a point. Life started to become meaningful to me and above all, I began to see life in a different approach. Isa and I went on short road trips, shopping and anywhere she wanted while being wary of bumping into Chief Giovanni or any of his men. But I wanted more. I wanted to leave freely and not hide from anyone. But as far as chief Giovanni and Lorenzo lives, I knew I would know not peace. And most importantly I wanted to find my real mother. Not my step mother but my real mother. Ever since I began to make money, I have searched for her but my search was slowed down for the fact that I had very little information about my mother.
