CRISTO“Drive Faster Vance, we need to get there on time” I said, worried that we might be late to meet Antonio at his Mansion.“Take a chill pill, Cristo, I'm on high speed already, Do you want us to crash?" Vance asked.Vance was right, if he sped any further, we would crash. Besides, it was my fault we were late.I fell sick, vomiting due to what I ate, which didn't agree with my stomach. Vance had to stop several times so I could puke and catch my breath.“It's ten minutes to twelve," I gasped.“We are almost there," Vance said as he swerved the Lambo to the right, taking a shortcut.In less than seven minutes, we were at Antonio's Mansion.“You're one hell of a driver" I praised Vance, my voice tinged with relief and admiration.“You can say that again, Man," Vance replied, with a big smile on his face.Antonio's bodyguards walked towards us and carried out their routine search, before asking us to follow them to the living room.We sat down and were offered drinks. Vance took a

CRISTOThe most important days in a man's life are the day he is born and the day he dies.No man knows the day he will die.With Don Vito's revolver pointed at my head, my thoughts raced between life and death.My conscience was clear; I knew I was no traitor and I would face death with honor.“One, two…”As Don Vito pulled the trigger, I heard no sound and felt no impact. I opened my eyes to find a grinning Don Vito, who said,“You have passed my test, Cristo, get up for your next mission"All along, it was a test of my loyalty. The Mafia world was no playground, and Don Vito was a master of its treacherous game."Thank you Boss. I'm honored”. I replied, grateful to have survived.Don Vito nodded, dismissing me for the night with a final order to pick up my next assignment in the morning. As I took my leave, I gave him a final salute of gratitude.I rose at dawn the next day and waited outside Don Vito's room, ready to receive my next assignment.Vance, the sly fox, smiled at me as

ANTONIO“Cristo” I muttered under my breath.He flashed his consistently cunning smile as he sat on the sofa across the room.“Antonio, it's been a while. How are you?"He asked in glee as he poured me a drink.As I took the drink from his outstretched hand, I replied him" I'm doing well. How was your trip?”With an air of confidence,"Profits skyrocketed," Cristo boasted with a smile. "Overseas business doubled, just as planned."Our glasses clinked and we toasted to his success, sipping our drinks as I observed mine. Whatever made Cristo return from his overseas duty must be important.Don Vito made his timely entrance into the room with a file in his hand as if on cue."I see you both are catching up" he observed.While Don Vito set the file on the table, I thought to myself,"It's about time I knew more about this business deal."Don Vito looked at me with a keen eye, stating,"You and Cristo will handle this operation."As he explained the details of the deal, his words were del

DON VITO“Sir, he already got back to us,” those words rang aloud in my ears. If Antonio wasn't there that minute, I would have hit my head angrily and pulled out a gun on the stupid guard.Antonio is a wise son I wish I had.He was smart enough to decipher the least possible code in the room in a very short time; that was how clever he was.“It's fine. I would be there shortly,” I said hastily so as to dismiss the guard.“Is something in operation that I don't know of, Don?” Antonio asked.There goes it. The very question I would have expressly avoided if not for that foolish guard. “Nothing, son. Just some calls I couldn't make before I came out here,” I answered and puffed my cigar.Clearing all doubt, I walked towards Antonio, “You seem off.”He took a step back and cleared his throat.“Do we have a pending operation, Boss?” He said, supposedly dodging the question.“Yes, we do. There is a new product coming in. I want you to be there to get it. I don't want to send the boys.”He

ANTONIO'S POVSuspicious.I just seem so sure of it. The call wasn't a genuine one.Either I am being put to the test or Don is playing a trick on me.As a sharp one, I didn't bother questioning myself for too long.“Miranda, I have to be somewhere. I will be back by evening,” I said as I put on my shirt.“And your meal? What would happen to it? You need to take something before you leave,” she said in a caring tone.The aroma of the food was already tempting but this is Don we are talking about.Who knows? He might already be on his way to the mansion. Now that he is doing things to spite me, I presume.I still don't want to believe that call was made ordinarily by Vance.“It can't be!” I snapped.Like a sudden reaction, I grabbed my car keys nearby and headed to the Ferrari parked outside the V-lodge, a name I gave my house during my time of purchasing it from another private individual.I was off to the mansion when a thought captured my attention. “What if that was actually Don Vi

XANDERI looked around. Checking to see if anyone heard the young man as he shouted at me.“I will, you don't have to shout, kid.” I said.“Kid? Don't let my young face deceive you, Xander. Pick the call, now!” He lashed back.I took a deep breath and exhaled, “You know this isn't even my phone. It's for the other guy,” I whispered.“Oh really, well you ought to know if the call is meant for you so what's your move, smart ass?”“I would pick up the call,” I muttered.I took a quick look at the number calling. It was a strange number. “Oh fuck! If this is Don Vito then I am done for!!!”“Hello?” I said slowly only to be met with a voice I didn't know.It wasn't Don Vito but one of his men.“Hello? Speak up, motherfucker. Where are you and what's happening? Don needs an update!!” The voice on the other end said.“I just wanted to tell you I am safe where I am in this new place, Dad,” I spoke stylishly.Hopefully, this guard doesn't ask further questions or perhaps decode what I just did
