AN ANGEL FOR THE MAFIA Save me.
SAKI knew that as Jared had pronounced judgment upon Brian, there would be no turning back.All SAKI could do was to shake his head.“Your decision cannot be questioned, my Lord.”“But allow me to ask, why Master?” There was thick silence in the air after SAKI had asked Jared that question.If a pin hit the ground at that point, they’d hear.Few minutes later, the car came to a halt. As they drove earlier, Jared had received a call that his new shipment of Meth had arrived, and was ready to be moved into the streets.But before he came down from the car, he looked SAKI in the eyes through the mirror in the car.“Your friend spilled blood that I treasure.”“He made me bury my own. The only one that I truly had.”“Your friend took light away from me. He made me live in the darkness.”As he spoke, his tone began to rise in anger.“SAKI! Your friend took away my eyes.”“He left me blind!”“SAKI! I will take everything that belongs to him.”“I will set his world on fire and make him watc

Hey, hey, Cordelia… Everything is going to be alright. You just need to relax Cordelia… Relax… Take a deep breath” Jared said to her in a soft tone.“Wipe your tears dear. You’re going to be okay.”“Show me, where did you find the feather?”Cordelia pointed at the mat in front of her door in the hallway, as she wiped her tears with the other hand.Immediately, Jared let out a deep sigh and pointed Cordelia towards the bed so she could sit down.“You’re going to be fine Cordelia, just take a deep breath.” Jared said as he wiped her tears off.“Jared, I don’t want to die now.”“You know, even if I will, I don’t want to die without knowing who killed my parents. I don’t want to die without finding them and making them pay.”“They’re the reason why I’m in such a mess. They’re the reason why my life has seemingly turned upside down, because if my parents were here, I wouldn’t be facing this much pain Jared. I won’t.”Jared let out a deep sigh as he listened to Cordelia. All he could think

Jared scanned the house with his eyes to see if an intruder had entered.“Stay behind me Cordelia.” Jared said as he approached the kitchen shelf to take a knife.“What are you going to do with that?” Cordelia asked as she held tightly unto his black Calvin Klein button up shirt.“Just stay behind me.” Jared said is an authoritative voice.Suddenly, one of Jared’s dogs ran into the kitchen again, colliding into another vase.“Oh. It was the dog.” Jared stood still with a relieved look on his face.“Who could have let Bruno out in such a hot weather?”“Bruno! Come here.” Jared called out to his dog, pulled it by his collar and took it to the cage.All this while, Cordelia could only stand and be thankful that those unknown men had not found their way to this place again.“Cordelia? Hope you’re good? What’s the matter?” Jared asked, seeing that Cordelia had rested her head on the white kitchen table.“No, it’s nothing… I’m doing okay. I was waiting for you.” Cordelia said.“Jared, when
AN ANGEL FOR THE MAFIA Arrival to Croatia.
There Cordelia was, standing outside in front of her late dad’s house, waiting for Mr Smith, the personal assistant to her late Father.Mr Smith had booked Cordelia a flight to Croatia, but unlike always, since she was born, Cordelia was not going to fly first class this time.Mr Smith arrived in the Uber that was going to take Cordelia to the Boston Logan International Airport right there In Massachusetts for her trip.“Cordelia, I need you to understand that I’m doing this for your safety.”“You’re their next target.” Mr Smith said, holding Cordelia’s hands tightly towards him.“Your dad was such a good boss to me and my family, and I can not bear to watch anything happen to you. I will send the money from selling the house to you, before you land in Croatia.”“Here is a little amount from me and my family to take care of yourself.”“Everything has been taken care of Cordelia, so I’m positive that you'll be alright.”“Thank you so much Mr Smith” Cordelia said in a quavering voice.
AN ANGEL FOR THE MAFIA Welcome to school.
~University of Pliver~Cordelia got to the gate of her new school at 7:45am, feeling a little bit weird. After what had happened the previous night, she was too scared to relate with anyone. Heaving a loud sigh, she held onto her bag firmly and walked into the school compound. Immediately she entered, she was wowed by the beauty and busyness of the school. It was nothing like the school she formerly attended. There were so many big trees planted in the school, with so many tall white and brown buildings. Her new school was arguably one of the biggest that she had ever seen and been in. She could see different students of different races, different calibers and outfits. While her eyes scanned the compounds, her eyes fell on some couples behind some of the huge trees, kissing and smooching.In shock and disgust, she looked away. Before she could take another step, she saw some guys in a car, drinking and smoking.It was like the school existed without rules and authorities. While
AN ANGEL FOR THE MAFIA Back to the fainting goat?
“We’re here Ma’am.”“Thank you.” Cordelia said, staring at the bouncer in front of the entrance through the car window.Cordelia was hesitant to get down from the car.She was having flashbacks of how Senator Ivan’s boys almost planted a bullet in her head.“Is everything alright ma’am?” The driver asked.“Yes, I’m fine, thank you.” Cordelia answered as she stepped out of the car.Cordelia took a deep breath, then walked towards the entrance of the bar.The bouncer recognized her and didn’t want to let her in, until she showed him the card that Mckayla had given her the other day.Cordelia’s reason for coming to the fainting goat was to ask about Jared.She knew nothing about the guy that she was falling for.As she entered the bar, she felt a bit out of place. She wasn't used to the dim lighting and the smell of alcohol, but she took an another deep breath and walked up to the bartender.This time, it wasn’t the same person that saw her slap Senator Ivan, so she relaxed.“Excuse me,
AN ANGEL FOR THE MAFIA Oh David!
The next day, Lying in bed, Cordelia was fast asleep when her phone suddenly vibrated, and the sound of an incoming message broke the deep silence. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and checked her phone, seeing that it was a text from her newly made friend, David. “Good Morning Cordelia, I hope you had a good night’s rest. I Just wanted to send some positivity your way as you start your day today.”“I hope today brings you all the good things you deserve and that you feel energized and ready to tackle whatever comes your way.”“Remember, I'm always here if you need a listening ear or a shoulder to lean on. Have a great day today!”She smiled, feeling grateful for his sweet message, but couldn't help feeling a little groggy as she tried to drift back to sleep.“At least I have a friend now, and a sweet one at that.” Cordelia said, with a wide smile on her face. Cordelia stayed on the bed for a while with a smile on her face thinking about the message she had just received.‘What do I send
AN ANGEL FOR THE MAFIA A tale is unfolding.
It was another monotonous day, blending into the seemingly endless stream of school days for Cordelia. As she lay in bed, a heavy sense of dread settled over her, casting a shadow on her thoughts. The mere idea of facing another day filled her with anxiety and unease.Ever since that dreadful incident a few days ago, Cordelia couldn't shake off the lingering horror. The memory of it replayed in her mind, haunting her every waking moment.She longed to escape the repetitive cycle, yearning for something different, something that would break the monotony."I don't want to go to school," Cordelia muttered to herself, her voice filled with resignation. "It's just going to be the same thing all over again. I'll be trapped in a classroom, bored out of my mind. During recess, I'll feel lonely and like an outcast."Yet, amidst her internal turmoil, another voice emerged, gently reminding her of the reasons why she had to face the day. "But Cordelia, you have to go to school. You can't hide

“Yes sir. That was Brian sir. I’m 100% sure.”SAKI answered in a tone that sounded like he was puzzled but with a smile on his face.Jared stood there, quiet, like he was just weaning off the anesthesia from a surgery.Suddenly, he grabbed SAKI tightly by the collar of his shirt and pulled him up. “What did you call the name of the boy you said you saw?”“His…his.. name was Brian sir… sorry… his name is Brian sir, SAKI said shaking like a fish outside water.”“Are you sure? Jared asked in a strong tone.”“Yes sir, I’m sure, SAKI said in a stammering tone.”Immediately Jared let go of his shirt and SAKI fell back to the bean bag where he was previously seated.‘No no no… he may not be the one. Relax Jared. Relax.’ Jared said to himself.The last time Jared heard that name, was the day that Adeena, his sister, had hurriedly left the house after her birthday.Her day of death and Absence.The day that Injured Jared deep into the chambers of his soul.It wasn’t a day that Jared was willi
AN ANGEL FOR THE MAFIA SHADOWS VENGEANCE
The time of execution had come.The night is here!The night draped itself over the city like a thick shroud, concealing the clandestine operations that the Seven-Eyed Dragon Mafia clan wanted to perpetuate.Jared, clad in black, stood with a calm yet fiery determination in his eyes. He knew that tonight would mark a pivotal moment in his life, one that would determine the course of his vendetta against Senator Ivan.‘Nothing is going to happen to you Cordelia. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.’ He said to himself in a low tone.As the minutes ticked away, the silence in the room grew heavier, suffocating, as if the very air held its breath in anticipation. Jared's heart pounded in his chest, the rhythmic beat driving his resolve even further. The time for action was at hand.Ian and Scott, his loyal confidants, stood beside him, their eyes unwavering, fully committed to carrying out their leader's bidding. Jared could always rely on their unyielding support, forged through shared experie

“Good Morning Jared, call me when you get this.” This was the message that Jared got from his uncle Jared. Immediately Jared was awake and he saw the message, he called El-Azul.“Good Morning Uncle. I saw your text. Will you help me now?”“Relax Jared. Relax. You want blood to flow, and it will. But we must be careful. You know that none of this must tie back to us. We have too much stuff to move, so we can’t be held back by little matters like this.”“I understand uncle, but Senator Ivan has been threatening me for a long time now. I want him to pay for his words.”El Azul let out a laugh as Jared spoke.“Not even his actions, you want him to pay for his words. My brother has raised a tiger. I’m impressed.”“But, use your power wisely Jared. And clean up everything carefully when you’re done.” El-Azul said in a calm yet authoritative tone.“I will, uncle. I will.” Jared said with a suspicious smile on his face.“Does this mean that I can throw bullets?”“Yes boy. Let me know what yo

Cordelia and Jared's investigation took them down a twisting path, a path that revealed layers of intrigue and danger that lurked beneath the surface. They wanted to delve deeper into the mysteries surrounding the pocket watch, the black feather, and the Veil, seeking answers and the means to dismantle the clandestine organization.Their first lead brought them to the dimly lit study of Professor Malcolm Everett, an eccentric antiquities expert known for his vast knowledge of obscure artifacts and secret societies. Immediately they entered the study, the professor greeted them with a warm smile, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.“Ah, Jared, I've been expecting you. And you must be Cordelia.” Professor Everett said, gesturing for them to take a seat amidst the stacks of ancient tomes and artifacts that filled his study. “I hear that you've stumbled upon a mystery that goes far deeper than you realize.” Professor Malcolm turned and said to Cordelia.Cordelia's heart raced with antic
AN ANGEL FOR THE MAFIA Give me back my life.
Cordelia arrived at Jared's house, after journeying for two hours.Her heart pounding with a mix of apprehension and hope.“I hope Jared helps me solve this. I need my life back.” Cordelia said, heaving a deep sigh.She needed answers, guidance, and most importantly, someone she could trust, and here she was, trying to take her chance at Jared.As she entered the familiar surroundings of Jared's office, she noticed the air of seriousness on his face. His usually warm smile that she had seen him display with people was replaced with a furrowed brow and a thoughtful expression.‘He never really smiles when I’m around him anyways, so why am I even bothered? There are weightier matters.’ Cordelia said to herself.Jared motioned for Cordelia to sit down on the chair in front of him, as he took the seat across from her. “Have your seat Cordelia.” Jared said in his firm voice.The room was filled with an air of anticipation as they both braced themselves for the discussion that lay ahead
AN ANGEL FOR THE MAFIA Cold water for a weary soul.
The night was heavy with darkness as Cordelia tossed and turned in her sleep. Dreams haunted her, twisted and distorted, mirroring the chaos of her waking life. She found herself in a maze of shadows, pursued by nameless figures, unable to escape their relentless pursuit. Each corner she turned only led her deeper into the labyrinth, trapping her in a web of fear.But amidst the turmoil, a faint glimmer of hope emerged. In the midst of her nightmare, Cordelia heard a familiar voice calling out to her, a voice filled with warmth and reassurance. It was Mr. Smith's voice, soothing and calm, guiding her through the darkness."Cordelia, my dear, don't be afraid. I am here with you," the voice whispered gently.Startled, Cordelia opened her eyes and found herself back in her apartment, bathed in the soft glow of dawn. The remnants of tears stained her cheeks, evidence of the emotional storm she had endured. She sat up, wiping her face, and took a deep breath to steady herself.It was a
