The don’s strategy

Don Alessandro’s clan*** Jake carefully dropped the wine and the glasses on the table. He popped the wine opened and poured into Don Alessandro’s glass. When it was time to pour in Danny’s glass, he didn’t focus. He had his eyes on Danny, taking in every little details. From his expensive wristwatch, to his shoes, to his phone and his clothes. Despite not paying full attention, Jake didn’t overflow the glass, he was too experienced to.When he was done, he dropped the bottle of wine on the table and stood straight.“Do you need me to do anything else, boss?” Don Alessandro beckoned on him to come closer and when he did, the Don whispered to his ear.“Ask Elsa if she’d heard from Axel and how the wedding plan is going.” “Okay boss.” He lowered his head to the floor and then walked out of the room. As soon as he got to a secluded place, he dialed Kira’s number but it wasn’t connecting. He tried it for about two times and decided he’ll try it later when it still didn’t connect.

Back in town

Axel crossed his hands as he stared at Rebecca who had her gaze focused on the painter that was tied to a chair with bruises all over his body. He knew she wouldn’t be able to unleash the rage in her eyes on him, she was too soft for that. He decided to just watch how she would get answers from the painter.“I can’t count the number of times Axel had cautioned me about trusting people easily, but still I fell for your trick and almost lost my life.” The pain in her voice was visible and he hated the fact that the painter could see her vulnerable.“Becca. Do not cry.” He didn’t whisper. “I won’t.” She replied immediately, taking a step closer to the painter. She could tell the wounds on him weren’t fresh, and an idea popped into her head immediately. She bent towards him and lifted his chin with her finger. “Remember me, right?” He didn’t say a word, and she took that as a yes.“The people who did this to you…” She trailed her fingers on the cut on his shoulder. “They were

Before the wedding

Rebecca’s lips parted, her eyes widened and before she could ask the question, Axel beats her to it.“How? Where is he?” Her heart was racing so fast as she curiously waited for Kira to answer.“It’s a long story. But he is here in Miami, closer than we think.” Kira revealed. “I have more information but I’ll only spill if you promise me one thing.” She looked at Axel, then looked back at Kira, wondering what it was.“What?” Axel inquired. He had kept his fork aside and placed his hands on the table. Kira didn’t immediately speak. She took a deep breath, obviously contemplating whether to go on or not.“There are things I did that is unacceptable and my request is that I go unpunished.”“Depends on the things you did.” Trent chipped in.“Not bad as you think.” Kira mouthed.“You do know I can torture the information out of you, right?” Axel spoke up, his tone fierce.“Axel.” Rebecca whispered, shaking her head slowly. “Don’t.” She whispered to his ear.“Let me handle this, pl

One step close

Rebecca stood at the poolside, waiting patiently for Kira. It was past eleven and she had been waiting for more than ten minutes but Kira was yet to come. She sighed and immediately she turned, she jerked when found Thomas standing in front of her. Her lips parted but no words came out. She didn’t even know when he arrived there or how long he had been standing there.“Hello, Rebecca.” He flashed her a smile. “I didn’t expect you to get startled seeing me.” “I…I didn’t know you were behind me. I’m sorry.” She tried to smile but it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “I heard you came to visit Axel. Thought you would have left by now.”“How can I leave without seeing you?” She managed to chuckle at his word. “It’s quite late.”“Yeah. I’m staying over for the wedding.” Thomas said.His gaze lingered on her, expectant, waiting for her to ask. To his uttermost surprise and disappointment, Rebecca said, “Ohh. But it’s not holding here. Except you want go stay here over the night and

Before the storm

If it was a normal day, the whole place would be filled with grunts of men training, voices of them strategizing and planning their next mission. But today, it wasn’t like that. The whole place was calm, everyone was busy trying to get their best look, because today was a significant day for them. Their boss was getting married. Rebecca stood next to her window, watching everyone from there. She was still in her night robe and had no plans to change it anytime soon. Her eyes were swollen and the dark circle under her eyes was the first thing anyone would notice upon seeing her. They were all proof that she didn’t sleep last night. She didn’t have anything doing but she couldn’t sleep. She wanted it to be morning already so she would proceed to don Alessandro’s house, but she could only do that if everyone had left for the wedding. The subtle knock on her door made her turn. “Come in.” She muttered without thinking twice. The door opened and Axel walked in. Her brows knitte

Secrets don’t stay buried

Rebecca remained on the floor long after the door closed. She didn’t know how long she knelt there, her palms pressed to the cold tiles, breath uneven.When the sound of engines finally roared to life outside, she pushed herself up.She moved back to the window, peering through the sheer curtains. The cars moved out in convoy, filled with men in black suits.This wasn’t a wedding. This was a battlefield disguised in silk and vows.Her phone vibrated softly against the nightstand and she sighed before going to get it. It was a message from Kira… “We’re leaving now. Your call.”Rebecca’s heart kicked hard against her ribs. Axel’s words echoed in her head but she waved it off. She needed to do this. She typed a message to Kira. “Not all the men left. How am I going to go out?” Another message came almost immediately from Kira.“I’ll pretend I left something, just to stay behind for a while. Hang on, I’m coming.” She didn’t reply. She dropped her phone and walked back to the window

The wedding gambit

A perfect wedding, the wrong people. Rebecca slowed her steps as she got closer to the garden, the soft gravel crunching under her flats. She could see the decorations and the people seated from where she stood. The set up was perfect, and would have been memorable for the couple if they were in love. Armed men stood at the entrance, strategically stationed, ready for anything. She spotted some familiar faces amongst the men, they were Axel’s men. She dragged her feet and in no time, she got to where they stood. They seemed surprised to see her.“Miss Rebecca?” One of them called. “What are you doing here.”Her pulse quickened. They knew she wasn’t supposed to be out here.“Axel asked me to come.” She lied smoothly. The men exchanged looks, before signaling the other men at the second entrance. Those other men looked unfamiliar and she assumed they were from Alessandro’s clan. She successfully passed through the entrances and she could now see Axel standing at the a

The day the don ran

Elsa looked at the council for a long moment, different thoughts racing through her mind. No one rushed her; they were all patient, waiting.She looked at Axel, and for the first time since she’d known him, she could tell what he was thinking.He looked worn out, frustrated and nervous. She had never seen him that way. She had always known him as strong, handsome, and brave, but today she saw his vulnerable side.Her gaze shifted to her father. His piercing stare made her swallow. She knew exactly what he wanted her to do at that moment, yet she found herself torn, uncertain whether she could bring herself to do it.She turned back to the council. “I…” She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened them again, her decision was made.“This marriage was arranged,” she said slowly. “My father wanted more power, and he believed this alliance would give him that…”The crowd began to murmur. She paused, then continued once the noise died down.“But I agreed. Not because I was f

The calm after the storm

Axel shut the door behind him harder than he intended to. The sound echoed through the room and the serenity of the room calmed a bit of the storm raging through his chest.His hands ached, not from injury, but from how tightly he’d gripped his gun the entire drive home, as if letting go meant everything would fall apart. His heartbeat slowed when he saw Rebecca standing near the window, her back half turned as if she already knew she would be the first person he would look for when he gets home. He stopped a few feet away from her, his face bearing an unreadable expression.“Why?”He said slowly. He didn’t need to explain what he meant, the single word carried all his emotions and thoughts. Rebecca turned to him.She looked untouched, unharmed, and yet the image of her standing in the open garden in the midst of the people who had good reasons to kill her, flashed violently through his mind. His jaw clenched.“I’m not sorry.” She said defensively and Axel’s eyes dimmed in disappo

Hope is dangerous

Rebecca walked down the hallway, her hands crossed behind her back. The place was as silent as a graveyard, until she got outside and found the men out there, few of them injured. She spotted Kira and Trent at a distance, authorizing a count of the men to make sure they were all complete. Her steps halted, she didn’t move closer. Trent was the first to spot her, then he alerted Kira. As expected, Kira walked towards her, an unreadable expression on her face.“Thought you were asleep.” Rebecca chuckled dryly. “How can I sleep knowing that the man who killed my parents is out there roaming free?” She had told Kira everything Fernando told her. After all, it was Kira who helped her to get away from the house. Kira was already aware about the whole thing, she only needed someone else to tell Rebecca and that was why she did all she could to make her meet with Fernando. Kira looked around, trying to be discreet. “Did you tell Axel you went to see Fernando?” “Not yet.” Her r
