2021-02-12 05:37:37Nikolai had been with Marcello and Serena for as long as they could all remember. He had been Serena's best friend and first kiss before they'd come to the conclusion that Serena Marchesa wasn't into men. He had trained and fought side by side them in training and battle alike and even though was as deadly as the Marchesa siblings, he had always known deep in him that they hard leadership in their blood and he was willing to follow and serve. He served Serena as her right hand man when she was a spy in the Siciliana while Marcello was on the road for his life.
Nikolai was one of those people who always had the world in his mind; he hated staying idle, even mentally for a second so he was always thinking, working strategies, and planning ahead for every and any job he had or knew he would be giving. It was one of those days when he would sit in his apartment, alone, working and simply chilling but mentally still working. His apartment was something only he

How would he help her if he had no idea where she was or how to get there. Jasmine had to work extra time now to get to her goal. She knew for one they were on the outskirts of the big city; she knew not the city and or even of the was one. The place was practically deserted apart from the building they lived in.They'd first been to a beach house, then here. Jasmine knew she had to find a way to get out.She'd fly a helicopter out of the damn place if she had to.Marcello seemed careless of her presence when she walked in on him tearing through a drawer of files."Marcello," she said in an almost whisper tone, he turned to hear with concern looks, "I don't feel so good. I need air. Would you please walk around the place with me?" Marcello expression couldn't do too well to hide his need for denial at that moment, he was busy, he needed to find something urgently; but he also needed to attend to Jasmine. He un

"What happened to you. I met up with Jasper and he told me you weren't going to make it. You were in jail," there was a sense of affirmations about her tone, "What happened?""Would you not let me in first?" His velvety tone was almost causing the hairs on her skin to stand on its end. She hadn't seen another Caucasian adult human being in almost three months, talk less of one as good looking as Dylan Jones."Why were you jailed in the first place?""If only you'd let me in, I'd tell you everything,""I know you were in jail Dylan; in jail for murder. Why should I trust you?"Dylan let out a heavy breath. He never wanted to appear as the bad guy in Jasmine's eyes. He had risked so much for her and couldn't even explain why. This particular thought had been bothering him from day one of him working on her case. He violated security measures just to get deep into her life and help her. Someone was aware: someone had always been aware; and now, he'd b

While some people in the world struggle for survival and luxury, others crave for death and eternal rest. This was exactly the feeling Marcello Marchesa was having. He woke up one day to find the love of his life missing. Something like that had never happened to him. He felt drowsy, weak and nauseous. He noticed the white tube connected from his hand to the infusion stand by his left.Why was he getting infused when he had spent some amazing hours, drinking and raising glasses to life together with the woman he loved who had just accepted to be his eternal lover? What was or rather had happened? Where was Jasmine? So he kept on asking himself and everyone around him.A clear version to answer all these questions was; days prior to this, when he'd been leaving to go back into the city, Jasmine had demanded for some Valium pills to help her sleep. She had willfully deceived him, complaining about insomnia to convince him about getting her the

A wet mist carried by the wind across the seemingly dead forestation that surrounded the cabin flew in through the windows; the mint green curtains dancing along side it. Jasmine sat across a the furniture embedded in white sheets and a folded coloured draping to the side; she smoothing the sheets with her palms, letting the cold air to blow across her face. She heard a vile movement again from the door, but this time, it didn't just stop at the door, it seemed to be pushing open the door. Jasmine scurried to hide behind the bed which barely covered half her figure. But it did provide an easily breakable barricade between her and whoever was going to come through that door. Jasmine grabbed tight the vase of white and red roses that stood on the night stand beside, braced her arm, ready to throw it at them.She flinched in mid action when she saw who walked through the door."Serena?" She dropped the vase back on the nightstand, got on her feet, "My God! Serena, I was-"

How about that?A lot had change. A lot was different about her. Marcello keenly observed the CCTV footage, never shifting his eyes away from her weak form. She had been tortured beyond reason, broken to the bones, he could almost see her sanity; breaking, little cracks and faults, falling apart, bit by bit, but still, she was still holding on. The woman alone had the willpower of a ten strong men. She wouldn't give a slight hint as to where she had hidden the child. He wasn't with any of her family members; not even the extended ones.For the main time, he was moving heaven and earth to find the detective. He had heard from Serena that she was with him when they'd found her, but he had just disappeared."You're going to have to talk to her yourself now. She won't say anything and if I go in there one more time, I might kill her without hesitation.""We cannot kill her.""Why not Marcello? Tell me why. Are you still soft hearted for thi

On the third ring of his business mobile phone, Marcello finally picked up. He had a nostalgic feeling rooted from the time he had to be constant wait for Serena's calls whilst still a fugitive in Cameroon. He brought the device to his ear, scratching the side of his face with his index, a sign that he was nervous."This better be a 'good news, I have found your son call' because if not, I do not see why you're calling me now?""Where is the girl?" Serena's voice could be heard from the other line,"Probably knocked out. You didn't call me to ask about her well-being did you?" He threw his hand into his mop of taper waves atop his head, another sign that his frustration was only growing."No. I need you to be by her and tell me her reaction to the news I'm about to give you right now.""Why? Have you found him?""Just go Marcello!"

Dangerously, the turn of event were never meant to favour Jasmine. She had been completely and intentionally ignorant of Serena Marchesa's tracking skills. The latter was like tracking dog and had the exceptional ability to find or hide anyone.All it took was one reaction from Jasmine and she could already tell where to go next, to find her prey."I do not know on which path to take to find the detective and the boy but I do know this, all these is connected with the hotel owner.""Why would you think that?""It'll all adds up Marcello. He has dealings with both Yakhuza and the Triad: together. He's powerful, and from what I've gathered so far, he also has a weakness for pretty black women. This brings me to reasons why I think he might be the one helping your Chicca in hiding the boy."The nerves Marcello had had all tied up, just got tighter. He couldn't- no!

The most dangerous person in the world isn't the most dangerous person in the world: it's his most vicious enemy.Would you escape?Jasmine overheard Marcello talking to some of his men about the body of a Chinese man killed outside their hideout. She remembered the man that had come in and promised to save her was a Chinese native and he hadn't come back for her like he promised. Why was she even waiting for him? She didn't even know him. She had recovered quite well. She had started looking in good shape and no other punishments had been put upon her ever since she almost died. But she was also itchy to get out of that place. She had been having this nightmares about Mars and felt he could be in great danger.She was standing by the window in her cell, staring into space when Marcello and Serena walked in. The girl took a seat on the bed stand while the man stood directly behind her."Where is he Jasmine?" Jasmine turned to him. Her look impassive. Her

In a split moment, Jasmine was able to open her eyes, fully conscious of who she was looking at; his face wasn't as beautiful as when she had first fallen in love with him; it beared splashes of blood, strips of sweat, and a growing paleness. But he was smiling. Her eyes were focused on him thinking this could all be a dream but he was smiling, and that made her heart happy. She didn't care that her whole body felt like she was in a fire pit; or that he wa starting to look as white as casper the friendly ghost; he was smiling at her an that, that made her heart happy. She was in his arms, it was cold but she felt warm in his embrace. Looking into her eyes and watching the little light in her eyes, that gave Marcelo hope; hope that no matter what happened to him, she was alive; and that she could still make it. "Still breaking locks chicca?" he said to her, his voice hoarsed. "they were never locked! I love you Marcelo!" warm tears streamed down her eyes. He laughed. A sweet soft sou

Pain.That was all she felt as her eyes slowly opened.Pain and a burning in her back. While it seemed her back had been set aflame, her arms felt as if they were about to fall off. Jasmine resisted the urge to scream, knowing completely why she was in pain. How easily she had been caught. She knew it was endgame she'd felt those big calloused hands grab across her neck when she dashed for the brightly lit door, feeling a sense of daylight behind it. An escape; one which failed terribly. Now she was so sure this was her end. She was going to die. No one would save her. After the torture of being whipped over a hundred times, she would finally have to die. how she was still alive was beyond her knowledge.Her eyes adjusted to the dimly lit room fairly quickly. Her back burned, she didn't know how long she could take the pain, already her head was dizzy. Jasmine looked around what seemed to look like a cell, her eyes landing on a figure which stood to the side, concealed by shadows. Jas

Cold, that was her Jasmine's first feeling. She needed her blankets. She was shivering to her bones and drifting inside mind were memories of her life before all of this. The second thing to be registered in her minds eye was the hard ground beneath her, her bed had never been this hard. Even when after ber father had passed and her mum had had to shoulder the responsibilities of all four kids by herself, she never had to sleep on a bed this hard. And thirdly, was the pounding in her head. Jasmine opened her eyes only to squeeze them shut. Her head felt as if it were about to explode. She wanted to rip her hair out, the pain was excruciating. What had happened her?She slowly opened her eyes, biting her tongue in pain; the hammering feeling in her head would be the death of her. Slowly, she sat up, taking in her surroundings. She had still been in the same room but an exception of the chains and ropes. She laid on the bare floor; that would explain the cold. But why was she here? And

For the briefest second, Jasmine felt like she was actually the messiah. She had played the role to perfection and in turn the children of a crazy Asian man who had the effrontery to put her only child up for sale to a Russian troop that actually wanted to kill them for revenge! My father my father! She remembered how her mother would wail when as kids she and her sisters would misbehave. She imagine looking up to the heavens in her own turn and crying out same. They say desperate times call for desperate measures: this time called for if not grace, a miracle. She needed a miracle. It was definite, there wasn't possibly anything that could save her if not a miracle. Her head pounded as She slowly blinked open her eyes. Darkness! How familiar. She thought to herself. Wether she had been safe or not, darkness had become very familiar to her lately. She wondered what time it was. It could have been bright and gleaming sunlight middle of the day. She couldn't tell.

His first instincts were to leave a punch in the most painful part of Jones body for reasons of putting eyes on his woman but, that would kill the man and end their mission before it even starts. So he reached out to blind his left eye. Dreco ‘s adrenaline pumped furiously just at the mare sight of Dylan Jones. He didn't have to do that so he found a way to cover it up. "You left them at the mercy of a psychopathic Asian connected to the Russian mafia brutto stronzo! Dovrei darti una morte molto dolorosa! Bastardo!" he threw another punch right into his forehead. The pain sent him into a coughing fit, bleeding from the skull and mouth. When it had subsided, he finally said again, "If death was my calling, I never would have gotten out of there alive." he peeked their interest. How did he get out? Was this a trap? "then how did you get out?" "Someone inside his circle doesn't quite agree with all his decisions. They let me out and immediately I knew I had to come to you and I can g

In her black loose bottom pants, a grey silk top, a fitted black leather jacket and black combat boots, Serena matched her way into the backroom of the gallery, by passing a beautiful painting of the sea and a green viper in it.She reached a room where a man had been restrained: arms tied to the back of a chair. She got sight of his well muscled tone back partially covered by curls of dark hair.Apart from the chair on which he sat, there was a rectangular table that was placed directly in front of him. On it was a small briefcase and nothing more.She dropped her own bag on one side of the table then supported herself in the middle of the table; half sitting, half standing, with her hands folded under her breast giving a little lift and a better view of her cleavage, right in his face.But he didn't care. Neither did she.The minute her eyes coincided with those dark sapphire blue orbs

"Lo sapevo! Lo sapevo cazzo! And I told you! I told we should never have let that girl out." Serena fussed. She strut about in hasty movements, putting piles together."Basta Serena. She has not betrayed me. Jasmine will not betray me again. I know she won't. We just have to know where they took her. Whoever did was probably trying to keep her away from us. We must find her and my son.""Dios! Marcello! How are you still so blinded by this girl? What the hell did she give you? You know what? I should have killed from the very first day I saw her." Her words barely left when she felt Marcello's hand hold a tight grip around her neck."Don't you ever repeat those words ever again! Or else I will not hesitate to break your neck.""Marcello you're hurting me," Serena put her hands around his big ones, trying to loosen his grip. She was gasping for air. He let her go. She was in a coughing fit. She was strong and a predator; but no matter what, Marcello was te

Why was her own story different?Jasmine remembers reading a lot of books and stories and girls who found love in foreigners, and lived happy ever after: but why was her own story different? Why did she have to be tortured by her own lover before being sent out as bait to fish out their son? Why? Why did Marcelo Marchesa not just be like a normal white tourist who just happen to tour her country, fall in love with her and then they'd have a normal relationshipWhy now was she on the run from someone she couldn't identify as an ally or an enemyHow did she get caught up in this lifeShe turned from under the light of the street lamp into an alley dark enough to hide her shadow. She ducked behind a van and inhaled sharply. Whoever was tailing her would really love her hiding in there. Alleys were the best places commit crimes or capture a prey.

She was sleeping when she heard someone slip into her cell room. She turned around to see Marcello seated beside her."Marcello? What are you doing in here?""I might not be able to see you again after tomorrow. I don't think I will able to watch," he paused,"It's OK. I'm prepared. I've seen worse.""You have, haven't you?" The way his eyes were searching into hers. It was like the secret of life was written in there. "Jasmine," he picked up her hand from her thigh, "Right now, I want us to forget. Forget that there's a complication threatening the life of our only son. I just want to ask you one question; is there anything happening with you and that detective?""Marcello, there's nothing with me and Dylan. Never was, never will be.""So not even once did you ever consider leaving me for him? Maybe because his lifestyle seemed safer than mine?" Jasmine sat up.
