BiancaThe car stopped and I hopped out hesitantly. Goosebumps covered my body and I couldn't say why. Was it because I just walked into my doom? Was it because of the enormous villa in front of me? It must be both.I looked around, finding it hard to believe that we were in the abode of a ten year old girl.The villa was painted white and it stood out amongst others. But I couldn't pay attention to its details, it was too much for me to take in at the moment, I was preoccupied with my inner torments.I hugged myself, with my arms intertwined over my bust."No! Let Bianca push me!" That was Tiffany a few distance away from me, throwing tantrums with her guards. What a nut job.A light chuckle escaped my lips and I walked up to them."I, ve got this," I said and took my place behind her. As we got into the mansion, I was oblivious to all the wonders that surrounded me, but I couldn't help but wonder about the vast number of guards roaming in the villa. Why exactly is Santiago crazy ab
BiancaMy anguish melted as I walked into Tiffany's dressing room. Is this fatherly love? Santiago must have gone mad to have constructed this type of dressing room for a ten year old girl.The room was spacious, with high ceilings and large windows that allowed natural light to filter in. The walls were glittering and the floors were made of polished marble.A magnificent dressing table sat in the centre of the room, it was adorned with a large mirror. An array of luxurious beauty products, including perfume bottles, hairbrushes, and compacts, clustered around the table.Despite Tiffany's lameness, a plush, velvet-covered chaise lounge sat in one corner of the room."Bianca, come see my wardrobe. It's stashed with clothes." Tiffany's voice broke into my ears and I looked at her.She signalled Deborah who was already standing by the wardrobe. She opened up the wardrobe and my mouth fell open in surprise."Wow!" I mouthed, covering my mouth. The wardrobe was filled with an impressive
Santiago"Down to the White Villa," I ordered my driver as my guard opened the door of my SUV. With an air of arrogance, I trotted into the car and we zoomed off.I usually felt this way anytime I wanted to visit Tiffany. It was my tradition whenever I was in a good mood to visit her and now that I knew that she was lonely, I wanted to do more.The car decelerated in front of Tiffany's villa. It eased slowly into the garage and came to a halt. Still sitting in the car, I scanned the lot through the tainted glasses. Feeling satisfied, I commanded my guard to open the door. Just then my sight caught an unusual sight, it was the black Sedan sitting in the garage. My brows grew thicker as I frowned. I had a fleet of cars and couldn't possibly identify them all. But the black sedan was the car I instructed Darko to pick for Bianca. No way! Bianca can't be here after my warnings. But then I saw the one leaning on the bonnet. It was Darko! Bianca is here!She dared to go against my warn
BiancaWhen I disobeyed Santiago's orders, I thought I knew what was coming. But now that it had all gone down, I realised that I knew nothing.My body hurt like hell and I was covered in bruises.As I dragged myself through my room, Darko's heavy sigh resonated from the door. I heard him cursed under his breath before closing the door.I flung myself into the sofa and groaned as pain shot through every nerve in my body.'If you go against him again, he will definitely kill you.' I muttered to myself, viewing Santiago's deadly glare in my head. Tears welled up in my eyes and I wept. Through the mistiness, I saw a glass of water on the cube stool before me. Beside it were two pills. Without thinking, I flicked the pills in my mouth. Whatever the pills were, I didn't care. I needed to relieve the pain cruising my body. I soon dozed off on the sofa. Thanks to sleep, it was my momentary escape from hell. It came like an eagle and shielded me in its wings. But it wasn't as smooth as I wa
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
