“You know I can solve this case, right?” Piero argued. His eyebrows curved upwards.“I can clearly see that,” Cielo replied sarcastically, flipping through the pages of the file. “A good agent would have completed this case in a few days. How long has this case gone?” She asked, trying to taunt him. He had always prided himself as the best agent in the institution, over Cielo and the others.“Are you insinuating that I ain't good enough?” he raised an eyebrow, looking threateningly at her. He looked dangerous at that moment, but it didn't scare her. He never did.“I didn't say that. The facts did.” She retorted with a smirk and he looked like he was ready to murder her. They held eye contact for about thirty seconds, with him looking dangerously at her. His black round eyeballs stared deep into her face and she gave a mock smile. “I don't need you on my team. You should fuck off.” he finally spoke out, feeling irritated by her attitude.“Tell that to the director or better still, get

Giovanni waved as the car drove out of sight. A little smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he marched back inside. He dropped the bag on the dining table and took out its contents. The bag contained two plastic takeouts containing his favorite food and dropped them on the table. He was a good cook, but since his brother's incident, he had lost the flair to cook a proper meal, and now that he was recovering, he had to avoid everything stressful. He had domestic staff who would come in thrice a week to clean the house and make him a meal, but after the incident with Romano at the clubhouse, he had stopped them from coming to the mansion. He couldn't afford to trust just anyone to be around him anymore.***Cielo got into her car and drove away. She stepped into the car and the car sped away. Some distance away, a car was parked by the roadside. All the lights in the car were turned off. A man sat in the darkness in the car and waited patiently. As soon as Cielo's car drove past, h

Romano was still upset with how the event the other night had gone down. He really wished he had killed Giovanni then, but maybe something wasn't just meant to be. He huffed angrily as he wore his shirt over his head. He took time his time with the buttons and when he was done, he stared at himself in the full length mirror on the wall. He still had a scar from the small fight he had with Giovanni. He traced his fingers on the scar, his cheekbones tightening in anger. He heaved a sigh to make himself calm before picking up his jacket and walking out of the room. The ride was his hideout to where he was supposed to meet with the black scorpion was a fifteen minutes one. He wasn't staying at his mansion currently. After the attack he had launched on Giovanni that night had failed, he had fled the mansion, at least for some days. He feared that Giovanni might attack the mansion, but so far, he had heard nothing from his men back at home. The thought of leaving the city had crossed his m

Cielo stepped out of her car to walk into the mall. Her car was parked amongst the different cars in the large parking lot. She was dressed in a blue jumper with Nike air force 1 sneaker. Her hair was covered in a black head warmer that let her untied hair go down her shoulder.Immediately she stepped out, she looked around the area. There were a few people walking back to their cars with shopping bags in their hands while others walked into the mall. A car drove in and parked at the space two cars away from her. She took her eyes away from the car and walked into the mall. She picked a basket close to the entrance and walked towards the shopping aisle. She picked up some groceries and dumped them in the basket before moving to the next section.After spending about forty five minutes in the mall, shopping, she stepped out with two big shopping bags. She dumped them in the booth of her car and stepped into the driver's seat before driving off.She connected her phone to the car speaker

Giovanni walked into the closet and returned a few minutes later, wearing only a black Jersey short. His upper region was exposed, leaving his heavily tattooed chest and arm prey to Cielo's greedy eyes. Her eyes ran all over his exposed body until he sat on the chair in the room. He grabbed a book from the second reading table, closer to the bed before turning to Cielo.“I didn't expect to see you. Why are you here?” Giovanni asked calmly, trying not to sound appalled. The sexual tension had died down, but he could still see the longing look in her eyes. She wanted him, and it was obvious.“Well, I found something.” getting up from the table she sat, walking closer to Giovanni. “There is a strange man, men rather” she corrected herself and continued “that Romano has been meeting. I don't know how long they have been meeting, or how many times they've met, but they met some days ago. Two days ago to be precise.”Giovanni looked unmoved by her revelation. At this point, it seemed very l
