Semua Bab Sold to fate: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Amanda walked round the corner of the Café Leah used to walk. She'd been walking for minutes when she began to suspect that she was being followed. She looked left and right before branching into the Café. Matt was still working."Heyyy...Amanda, right?" Matt asked as she walked in briskly. She merely flashed him a smile and walked straight into the female bathroom. Once she was inside, she dialled her Father's number."What is it?" Leonardo asked in an ice-cold tone."I'm being followed " she whispered." Oh I see, you didn't calculate that, did you? It's called damages but it's a good thing." He said in a fair tone this time." What do you mean? How is that good?" Amanda asked looking out for the bathroom door."It means Lorenzo was impressed by what you did. Now, he wants to know if he can trust you" Leonardo replied."This was your plan, what do I do now?" She asked her eyes still scouting left and right. She saw a shadow approach the door and for a second she froze but the shadow

Bruno watched the gathered crowd as they moped at the little girl's body. The bullet hadn't been meant for her. He watched as the ambulance personnel lifted her body onto the stretcher. In the underground world, casualties were a normal occurrence but how could a Father do that to his child? Bruno thought.He turned around and got into his car unconscious of the eyes that watched him. Leah stared as he got into the car and drove off, still wondering what a strange person like that was doing in the environment. With his cut-up hat and shades with a black suit on, she could tell he wasn't from around there.Her heart went out to the little girl who lay on the stretcher now fighting for her life, she wished she could help her. Nobody had any answer as to what really happened to her. They all said there was a shoot-out one minute and once she was on the floor, the shoot-out was over. She couldn't have been a target, Leah thought. Who targets a little girl? The whole event appalled her to

Bruno stared at the man in front of him shaking visibly like a leaf, he watched the man as his bleeding face wept."Please have mercy, Boss. Have mercy on me." He said"Oh guys, he said I should have mercy..." He said looking around."I should have mercy.." Bruno said looking the man in the eyes. He nodded vehemently."Nah, what about your little girl!? Barth, we have a rule at Moretti's and it's simple...No what?" Bruno asked"Family.." the man croaked." Exactly Barth, no family. Mucho Buenos, Arivaché. Very good, that's your name, right? Bartholomew Arivaché? Hmm, you shouldn't have Bartholomew. You shouldn't have. I should let the community deal with you personally but I don't know, I wouldn't want your former daughter whom you didn't care about to see you being burnt up" Bruno said"I…I didn't mean to. I was scared " Bartholomew tried to explain"You were scared and your six-year-old daughter became your shield? Well, I'll teach you how to make shields out of children." Bruno sai

Amanda sat at the round table waiting for the guys to come in. She had called for them over thirty minutes ago. She sat staring at the clock as they all bustled in, sauntering as they liked."You're late" she voiced out. They all stopped chattering and looked at her before bursting into laughter."Who died and made you Boss," one of them said and they all laughed."You're late" one of them mimicked. She was glad they found it amusing as she toyed with her phone which was recording everything.Immediately they were done laughing, she played their voices back to them and the room went quiet."Yeah, so, with just one click of a button, I could send this straight to the Boss who in fact put me in charge of this operation. I'm very well sure he would love to let you all know who died and made me Boss" she said looking at them squarely.The buffiest of them cleared his throat and stepped forward."There won't be any need for that, Miss Amanda. We'll behave and pay attention to you now" he s

Leah watched through the window as Delphine spoke to a strange man outside the building."Is everything okay?" Alexia asked."Yes, sweetie, everything is fine. Just checking out the view from up here" Leah lied."My mum's always speaking to strange men, so it's pretty normal " Alexia replied exposing her lie."Oh I see, is she...is she into business?" Leah asked curious"She says she sells to them, I don't know but lately she's been really jumpy. Maybe she didn't sell too well and that's making her upset." Alexia suggested."Oh really? And she leaves you up here by yourself?" She asked but before Alexia could answer, there was a knock on the door and Leah went on to open it."Yes? How may I help you?" She said to the tall man with a baseball cap and a pizza parcel. He seemed surprised to see her but he brought down the parcel anyway."Uh, pizza delivery. Can I come in and serve? It's unsliced" he said to her but she looked at him strangely. On a normal day she'd be excited and happy t
