BiancaIn my grip was the bottled water that Darko gave me earlier. I drained it at a go, trying to quench the hunger inside of me. Gurr! I smashed the empty bottle inside the waste bin and without glancing back at the dining hall or Darko, I walked back to the foyer.I settled into one of the seats feeling unsettled. I might have put up a bold front, but Darko's words hit deeper than I had expected. "...what about Tiffany?" His words kept ringing in my ears."Well, what about me too? No one gives a damn!" I yelled, trying to talk myself out of whatever was going on in my head. Everyone in the foyer glanced my way, but I didn't give a damn! I shifted restlessly on my seat, telling myself to relax but it wasn't working. All that kept coming to my head was Tiffany's forlorn look in the classroom when she jerked around to see if I was the one at the door. What a poor kid.After repeated attempts, I excelled. I was able to knock the thoughts out of my head and I shut my eyes to relax. B
BiancaI walked head on into a bustling hallway! The bell for sports time had gone off and the pupils were in a mad rush to escape from the classroom. Seeing the crowd, Darko darted past me. He secured himself before me and dispersed the crowd before they got to me."Tiffany will be alone in the classroom again today." "Good for her. I can't believe her new handler has quit." "Sassy little Tiffany! I just don't like her!" Some older pupils gossiped and laughed as they walked past me.Not yet! She isn't alone. I bolted from behind Darko and pressed through the crowd of joyous pupils until I was standing in front of Tiffany's classroom.The classroom was almost empty. All the pupils had left except Rya and the class assistants who were pestering Tiffany to go out for sports."No! I am not going! I am going nowhere!" Tiffany yelled. She was choking on her tears but despite that, her voice had a strange essence, just like her father's."Tiffany!" I called.Like a whirlwind, she turned h
Unknown POV"I once served as one of Santiago's most trusted men, privy to his innermost secrets. But after defecting to Lorenzo's camp, I became Santiago's marked man. He wanted me dead, and I knew I had to keep moving to stay alive.I am Andro, the one who was regarded as a mad traitor for deflecting to Lorenzo's camp, who had no empire to call his own.Yes, Lorenzo had no fraternity of his own. He was the first son of Romano Castillo, the capo de grande of the Castillo mafia. Unlike his brothers who scattered abroad and founded new groups after they lost to Santiago, Lorenzo didn't start a new group. He was planning to strike back and take the Castillo fraternity from Santiago. Both brothers were aware of this and thus, wary of each other.Over the years, Lorenzo had built strong connections within the Mafia, one that Santiago couldn't beat. If Lorenzo decided to strike now, we would beat Santiago hands down.As for me, I chose wisely. I had no dedication nor loyalty, I usually go
AndroThis was supposed to be a hard nut to crack and if I must say, it was indeed hard. But as far as the mission was concerned, I was the man fit for the job and it was all I needed to prove myself.Overnight, my men and I snuck into the Castillo estate. Despite the tight security, I knew my ways through secret and abandoned routes. Without a hitch, we snuck in with the black sedan that we had driven. I intentionally chose a black sedan to blend in. It was one of Santiago's favourite cars, the anomaly won't be easily noticeable.Our hideout was some bushes in the outskirts of the estate, close to Tiffany's school. From there, we had a good view of the school's playing ground.We remained undetectable in our car until the next morning. Yes, I couldn't afford to act irrationally, we had a grand plan and we had to stick to it.The plan was to capture Tiffany at school. Although it seemed to be the best option, it wasn't going to be an easy feat either. At school, it would be hard to
BiancaAs I hurried towards the mart, smiling and glancing at Tiffany's tag. A strange smell wafted into my nose. Although I couldn't decipher the smell, it smelled odd. Instantly, I lifted up my eyes and took a peek around.The one who had the smell was a man. He looked rugged and he was coming towards my direction. Although he was wearing a face cap which covered most of his face, I could see his eyes. When I looked in the direction that he was looking, it led to Tiffany.He was staring at Tiffany! Who is he? What does he want with her?Common! Who do you think you are? You're just a prisoner! You don't even know half of the people here! I beat myself and looked away, but I couldn't shake off the odd feeling in my head. Curiously, I began to walk towards the stranger until I was just a step away from him.A harmless and charming smile broke out of his face and I noticed his polite demeanour.What the heck am I doing?A tight smile painted my lips as I smiled back at him. Hastily,
AndroAn amazing smile plastered my face as the car zoomed off.Mission accomplished! I relished in my heart, looking at Tiffany's unconscious form laying on the car seat. But my celebration was short-lived. I broke into Santiago's estate, kidnapped his daughter and now I am on my way out. I did the impossible and it seemed too easy to be true."Step on it!" I yelled heatedly at Rome who was behind the wheels. It wasn't over until we safely arrived back at Lorenzo's villa. Most importantly, Tiffany must be delivered alive. Looking down at her, I patted the girl's cheeks apologetically. Her peaceful face tugged at my heartstrings. I wondered how she would react when she realized all that had befallen her. I didn't mean to do this but she was my green card.With a sigh of relief, I looked behind. But I was shocked to the bones. The lady from earlier, Bianca, was in pursuit! Damnit! "Step on it," I cried at Rome and lifted up my rifle. I didn't know why Lorenzo was interested in Bia
Bianca"... Abduction just took place. Black sedan escaping, enroute NNPY, South of Shining Stars elementary school. Intervention needed immediately. I repeat, abduction just took place..."While the guards seemed calm, my heart broke into pieces. Just like I couldn't save my sister, l lost Tiffany too! What a failure I am! Santiago Castillo would surely have my head.My body shook with pain as I remained in the clutches of the guard who yanked me off the floor. I felt a slight pain on my leg and I peeped down at it, that was when I realised that I had a cut on my leg and it was bleeding profusely.The one who held me gave me no breathing space, he held me tightly and I couldn't tend to myself. The one who took the bullet in my place was helped away and everywhere seemed calm. ."Aren't we going to rescue Tiffany!?" I yelled in agony, but no one gave a damn. Looking ahead, the car that had Tiffany was out of sight! And no one seemed to care. I wasn't bloody concerned about who took t
SantiagoI remained in my trestle chair, waiting for Derrick to end his call with Maximillan. He just got some lead on Richo. I had had my men tail Richo since he rejected my offer to pay three times for his loss. I found it absurd and I thought that he was up to something shady.When the call ended, Derrick hung up looking tense."San," he called and I sat up. Anytime he called me San I was always prepared for the worst.Whilst I looked at him earnestly, my phone rang. It wasn't just any phone, it was my personal line for urgent matters. I flicked my middle finger to stop Derrick and I brought up my phone. Seeing the caller's identity, I winced and grabbed my phone tighter, it was Tiffany's lead guard."Ms Tiffany was kidnapped by Andro. He is on the run and my men are in pursuit." The voice sounded from the other end."What!?" I charged to my feet with my mouth seething in fury. Like a deranged bull, I marched around the office, fixing my pistol."Capo… what…" Derrick tried to inq
