All Chapters of The Mafia's Nun: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Gladys sat on her buttocks and kicked the rusted grate with both feet, and it burst open with a loud squeak, swinging outward and slamming against the concrete wall. She crawled out into the open and straightened up, inhaling the wonderful night's fresh breeze. When the other women joined her, she said, looking up at the moon in awe. "Beautiful, isn't it? The smell of freedom." She inhaled then exhaled deeply."Yes, which is imminent. Where's the lot?" Sarah asked rather impatiently. There was no time to waste on admiring the moon; they needed to get going.Gladys pointed at the far end of the compound. "Over there! We need to hurry." She strode into the open with the other women, away from the shadows of the building."You will have to take off those damn heels, or you'll give away our cover and location with their sound," Gladys said to Sarah. Sarah was about to take off the shoes when they heard several footsteps approaching. The women all turned around in fright to see armed m

None of the men dared to move. Some even averted their gazes, except Giuliano who just glared at him, quietly seething. Stefano turned around, waiting patiently for a victim stupid enough to dare him, but none stepped forward even after several minutes of uncomfortable silence passed. "Thought as much," he said finally. "Renata, she's all yours!" He gently nudged Sarah towards Renata, who quickly put Sarah beside her protectively.Sarah looked up at Stefano, amazed and stunned by his prowess. How could a man be this fearless? She cleared her throat and swallowed hard as she remembered that she had to return his coat. "Your coat?"Stefano stared at her for a few seconds and said, "Keep it or burn it! Whichever suits you."Sarah raised surprised brows. She knew expensive clothes when she saw one, and this was definitely one from a famous designer who she was partially familiar with. How could he ask her to burn something as expensive as this?"The men will see you off to safety, Rena

Angela nodded. "Of course. I would rather be here than be anywhere else, girl. Madam Renata is exceptionally kind to all of us," Several ladies fluttered their fingers at Angela as they walked past them and exited the room. "She treats everyone of us like family. That's why we are so loyal to her."Sarah nodded then scanned the half-empty room again. Music, cheers and applauds were coming from somewhere outside the room. "I don't know if I can do this. I mean, I hardly even know anything about showbiz... I don't even know how I'm supposed to fit in." "Don't say that, girl. Every woman knows how to call all sorts of attention to her body. Besides, we all learned, and with enough practice, we were on stage in on time. All you have to do is merge yourself with some avatar of you that you create in your mind then leave the rest to it. So, relax your mind, be willing to put in the wor, kill whatever anxiety you have, snuff out your timidity and modesty, and throw on the cloak of confidenc

Renata drew her shoulders back as she gave her a look of surprise. “Are you kidding me? The hall is filled to the brim, and we have more patrons queuing outside and begging to come in. some are even offering to pay twice the entrance f*e... Although just one special guest of honor is yet to arrive, it’s typical of him to be late anyway, but since he already gave me his word that he'll be here, he will be.” Angela’s face fell now. “I do hope he keeps his word. They haven't visited the Burlesque in almost two years now.” “Oh, put your mind at rest, dear child. He's in New York on business and I made him promise to stop by.” Renata placed a reassuring hand on Angela’s arm, while Sarah glanced from one woman to another, having no clue about their discussion. “Don’t worry your head, because in order to make tonight’s show a success, I will need your full concentration, so do not worry too pretty little head, my Cinderella, your Prince Charming is bound to arrive soon. Now you two are to g

"Which one did you say he is?" Sarah asked as they both peeked at the guests through the stage's Red grand curtain."The one over there… with the brown shoulder holster," Angela pointed.Sarah frowned, noticing the guns on him. "Is he a cop or something?" Angela shrugged. "I think not, but does it matter what he does for a living? I like his demeanor, and that has covered for every other thing."Sarah scrutinized Dino for a moment. "Well, he's quite a handsome one," she admitted."I know, and I hope to catch his interest tonight, Sarah.""Then flaunt that body like you have never done before," Sarah advised in a sultry tone.Angela laughed. "Now, you sound like Adele."The stage director appeared at the other end. "It's time, girls. Get out there and look lively."Angela and Sarah smiled eagerly, and hurried to pose at the center of the stage as the curtains began to rise to reveal them and their backup dancers and singers.When the curtain was pulled out of view and the show began w
