Ivan slapped his hands away."Don't touch me, you murderer! Have you forgotten? You killed your wife! You killed my mother!" He screamed."I'm so sorry son. It was a mistake. I didn't mean for that to happen, I swear" "Really? Really dad?" Ivan asked. His dad smiled, a sad smile."You're smiling?" Ivan asked, he was confused."You still call me dad,""Oh drop the act. So this is where you've been hiding all these while. Just like a coward that you are, you ran away after killing mom and you've been hiding here?" Ivan yelled angrily and his father flinched in pain."And then you're being called the capo? What capo? The men calling you capo just killed someone, are you aware? What are you into?" He asked."Son.

"This is my son, Ivan and he'll be the next leader of this gang. And he'll help in bringing down our enemy, Antonio Romano" his dad announced. The announcement shocked them all."What?" Ivan stuttered. The shock was evident on his face."Yes Son. You heard me right. You'll be the next leader of the mafia gang" his father confirmed. "But…" Ivan began to protest, but was interrupted by his father."Henceforth, you all will show him every respect he deserves. Respect him like the way you all do to me. You must be very loyal towards him too. Am I understood?" His father asked his boys."Yes, Capo" they replied and bowed their heads."And before I forget, you all would be rewarded handsomely for bringing my son back to me" "Thank you, Capo," the boys chorused."You may leave us, but stand watch outside" he said, as he dismissed them. They bowed their heads and left."Dad, what was that all about?" Ivan asked when the boys were out of sight."I just made you the next leader," his father r

I already took a few days leave and must be back at work immediately" Vanessa said as she watched her friend sulking sadly on the bed."I wonder if you'll be fine all by yourself.

A DIRTY AFFAIR Ending things
“What did you just say?” Gabriella asked when she's finally able to speak. She's speaking in a low voice.“You heard me right,” Ivan replied. He's whispering.“What do you mean by that? How could you ask me to do such a thing? You want me to feel guilty for the rest of my life?” Gabriella asked.“That's the only way I can get out of this. I told you my greatest fear is rotting away in prison and it's about to come to pass now”“I don't want it. And I don't want to tell my dad and implicate him. He's the leader of a Russian Mafia group and would be apprehended and arrested by the police”“And I know my father, he would never go down without a fight. He'll rather die than allow himself to get arrested and I'm not sure if I would be getting out of here anytime soon. One of us must live, one of us must be alive and since I'm already locked up here, I have no choice but to do it” Ivan explained.“Still, you shouldn't have asked me to bring poison for you so you can kill yourse

Luca's death pained me more.“I'll miss you so much, Luca, so much” I cried out.The doctor walked into the room and approached me.“You're awake, Mrs Gemma” he said.“Where is Luca?” I asked.“The man that died in front of the prison gate? His body is at the mortuary now” the doctor replied.My sobs increased and I began hitting hard on my chest.The doctor held my hands to stop me from causing more harm to myself.“You'll harm yourself and the baby” he told me.My eyes fluttered open in shock and surprise.“Baby?

You're under arrest” the police officer repeated.They came close to me and picked the gun I was holding with a cloth.The other officers inspected Antonio and investigated the cause of his death after they confirmed he's really dead.“He was shot” one of them said and looked around the environment for more evidence.“Someone called us here,” another said.If it wasn't Antonio that called the police, then who did??“You're the only one and we caught you holding a gun. You killed him right, Mrs Romano?” A police officer asked.I remained mute and stared at them without an answer. They exchanged confused looks between themselves.One went and picked the ropes up.“There's more to this. We need to investigate this well. But for now, you're our prime suspect and the culprit to the murder of Antonio Romano” he said.“Take her away,” their leader commanded.It was then I began screaming.“I didn't kill him. How can I kill my own husband? I didn't kill him! I'm innocent”
A DIRTY AFFAIR Another death
Ivan was still laughing till Antonio interrupted him.“Son of Dante Karamazov? Russian Mafia Lord?” He asked.“Yes. I came to Italy just to kill you. My father sent me here and I'm here to carry out his mission” Ivan replied.“I won't go down easily,” Antonio said.“I'll see if you still have that confidence when I blow her head off” Ivan said and pointed a gun to Gemma's head.“Don't kill her. Face me and leave her out of it” Antonio said.“Drop all your guns and kick them far away from you” Ivan instructed.Antonio dropped his guns down and raised his arms in the air.“See, there's nothing on me now. Take the gun away from her” Antonio shouted.“Not so fast! Kneel down. I want to see you beg for life.

Halfway, I saw a car speeding off.It increased the adrenaline in me and I ran faster to the car. When I got to the car, I saw that it was widely open and saw Emilia asleep. Gemma was missing. She wasn't in the car.Who could have done this?“Ivan!!” My inner voice answered.He's the only person desperate enough to avenge Margaret's death.I placed my finger in Emilia's nose to confirm she's still breathing. She must have been knocked off by Ivan before taking Gemma away.“Boss, what are we going to do now?” Mateo asked me.“I fucking don't know” I replied. I was exhausted, frustrated and angry and my brain wasn't thinking right now. It's times like this I wish I

Ivan was furious when he saw Antonio and Gemma come down from the car.The nerves of them, to show their horrible faces here!He quickly jumped in and blocked their path.“What the hell are you doing here?” He barked at them.“I came to pay my last respects to the dead,” Antonio replied.“You're not wanted here. Leave before I do something stupid” Ivan threatened.“We don't want a fight. We just want to pay respects to Margaret and leave. Don't ruin Margaret's funeral with your outburst” Antonio said.Gabriella stepped behind Ivan and eyed Gemma from head to toe.“I won't let you both get close to her corpse” Ivan swore and pushed Antonio hard on his chest.Mateo and Marco stepped in to protect Antonio.“Stop it, Ivan. Allow them to pay last respect to the dead” Sir Edward said. He's present at the funeral.
