Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 54.
The director heaved a sigh as Piero walked out. He rubbed his forehead gently in a bid to calm himself. It was still very early in the morning and he had lost a lot of adrenaline, thanks to Piero, the overfed son of the Castilia family. The Castilla family was respected among the governing board of the institution. They had provided financial support for the institution about twenty years ago when they hit an unfavorable tide. Since then, they have been really supportive, especially in finances.****Cielo walked in through the huge doors of the institution. It was fifty eight minutes past eight am, meaning she was two minutes early. She walked past two junior agents in the hallway as she walked towards the elevator. She pressed the buttons on the elevator and it opened up. She pressed the button to the floor her office was located on and the door shut slowly.The elevator beeped to a stop some moments later and she stepped out. She arranged the flare of her knee length corporate skir

Romano was still upset with how the event the other night had gone down. He really wished he had killed Giovanni then, but maybe something wasn't just meant to be. He huffed angrily as he wore his shirt over his head. He took time his time with the buttons and when he was done, he stared at himself in the full length mirror on the wall. He still had a scar from the small fight he had with Giovanni. He traced his fingers on the scar, his cheekbones tightening in anger. He heaved a sigh to make himself calm before picking up his jacket and walking out of the room. The ride was his hideout to where he was supposed to meet with the black scorpion was a fifteen minutes one. He wasn't staying at his mansion currently. After the attack he had launched on Giovanni that night had failed, he had fled the mansion, at least for some days. He feared that Giovanni might attack the mansion, but so far, he had heard nothing from his men back at home. The thought of leaving the city had crossed his m

Enzo walked past the security at the door into the bar. It was a regular small bat in a quiet neighborhood, some distance away from the main city area. Morelli had suggested they met here. For security reasons. Enzo surveyed the inside of the bar before picking out a table he felt would be better. He walked to the bartender at the counter and smiled softly at him. “I need a glass of bourbon.” he placed his order with a 00p smile at the male receptionist who nodded and got to work. The American malt whiskey had been his favorite ever since he knew the differences in the taste of each of them. “Ecco a te,” the bartender said, dropping the glass on the counter in front of him.He picked it up and took a sip, shaking his head in delight. The taste was perfect. He drank the entire content of the glass and dropped it back on the table. He handed a tip to the waiter before getting up from the chair. “Grazie signore” the waiter was full of smiles as he tucked the money into his pocket. He

Cielo stepped out of her car to walk into the mall. Her car was parked amongst the different cars in the large parking lot. She was dressed in a blue jumper with Nike air force 1 sneaker. Her hair was covered in a black head warmer that let her untied hair go down her shoulder.Immediately she stepped out, she looked around the area. There were a few people walking back to their cars with shopping bags in their hands while others walked into the mall. A car drove in and parked at the space two cars away from her. She took her eyes away from the car and walked into the mall. She picked a basket close to the entrance and walked towards the shopping aisle. She picked up some groceries and dumped them in the basket before moving to the next section.After spending about forty five minutes in the mall, shopping, she stepped out with two big shopping bags. She dumped them in the booth of her car and stepped into the driver's seat before driving off.She connected her phone to the car speaker

He walked out and locked the safe again before walking back to his car. Everything was gradually getting into place now. The atmosphere was getting dark, and the clouds were settling over the sky. He checked the time on his wristwatch. It was too late to go to the shooting range now. He was going to have to go tomorrow morning. He wasn't good with the gun, he had to correct that. He drove back to his mansion. The one he had been staying in for the last few weeks. He noticed a car parked by the roadside, a few meters away from his gate, but waved it aside. He pressed the remote control from inside his car and the gate opened up, closing back immediately after he got inside. He parked the car in the garage and stepped out tiredly. It had been a long day for him. He needed to rest and get some sleep. He stepped into his house. It still looked the same way it was since he left thirty six hours ago. Not like he expected any changes. He was the only one at home. He turned on the light bef

Giovanni walked into the closet and returned a few minutes later, wearing only a black Jersey short. His upper region was exposed, leaving his heavily tattooed chest and arm prey to Cielo's greedy eyes. Her eyes ran all over his exposed body until he sat on the chair in the room. He grabbed a book from the second reading table, closer to the bed before turning to Cielo.“I didn't expect to see you. Why are you here?” Giovanni asked calmly, trying not to sound appalled. The sexual tension had died down, but he could still see the longing look in her eyes. She wanted him, and it was obvious.“Well, I found something.” getting up from the table she sat, walking closer to Giovanni. “There is a strange man, men rather” she corrected herself and continued “that Romano has been meeting. I don't know how long they have been meeting, or how many times they've met, but they met some days ago. Two days ago to be precise.”Giovanni looked unmoved by her revelation. At this point, it seemed very l
Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 60. A good time
Piero remained inside his car, hitting his hands impatiently on the steering wheel. He has been inside the car for more than thirty minutes. Cielo was yet to be out. He had pulled up on the street to see Cielo's car already parked by the roadside. Immediately he got closer to her car, he parked and jumped out, rushing to her car to see it all locked up. After carrying out some minor investigations, he realized it hadn't been long since she arrived here.He had planned on trailing after her immediately after she left the institution's lodge, but something else had come in and by the time he was done, he realized she had already left. He had to drive off here by himself.Two times now, and he had no luck knowing the exact house she always visited. He almost yelled, kicking the car in anger. He soon calmed down and decided to go wait for her inside the car. He was going to get some headway, even if it meant confronting her. __He checked the time on his watch again. It was forty two min

What would Cielo be doing with an unregistered car? The question rang in his mind. There was more to her than he knew, and he was going to find out who she truly was.**The next morning, Giovanni trashed the bed sheets before changing into comfortable shorts with no shirts on before going downstairs. He walked to the dining room and poured himself a glass of Scotch. He took a sip from the glass before dropping it back on the table. He picked up his phone and put a call across.“Hello. I need you at the mansion in thirty minutes,” he said into the call before dropping it. He picked up his glass of Scotch and walked into his study. He shut the door before walking over to the table and dropping the glass. There was no one else in the house, but he had gotten used to shutting the door every time he was here.He walked over to the shelf and scanned through the books before pulling two out from their position. He dropped them both on the table before opening the first one. It was an old bo

Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 100. Epilogue - The wedding and the happy ever after
Giovanni was dressed in a blue tuxedo as he stood nervously and impatiently in front of the priest for his bride. What started as a rocky hate relationship blossomed into marriage and they were now about to tie the knot. Looking back at everything, he was grateful to her for sticking around. His underboss stood some distance behind him, dressed in a similar suit while his mother and members of the two families took the first few rows.The tune soon started playing and Giovanni turned to see his bride walking down the aisle with Enzo. He smiled unconscionably as he watched her take graceful steps. She was dressed in a big white wedding dress and held a bouquet of flowers in her hand. They got to where he stood and Enzo nodded at him, handing Cielo over to him.“You look very beautiful today. I'm a fucking lucky man,” he whispered into her eyes and she smiled. They walked hand in hand to the front of the priest and he began the proceeding. It was Cielo's suggestion to go with a church we
Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 99. Happy endings
Giovanni and Cielo spent their vacation at Seychelles island somewhere in Africa. They spent most of the day on the beach or waterside. Sometimes they went scuba diving, rock climbing, or visited the Morne national park. They also went on helicopter rides often.They had spent five days already and tonight, they were preparing for a dinner date.“Why can't we just have this dinner indoors?” Cielo whined for the umpteenth that evening. She was yet to put on her dress while Giovanni was already done with his. He was dressed in a black tuxedo suit and a white shirt. He wore diamond earrings and had a matching diamond watch on his left wrist.“Because tonight is a special night, besides, we haven't been to any of the top notch restaurants around here,” Giovanni replied, placing his hands on her waist. “Ya. Right,” She gave up and went to take out her dress. It was a blue full length dinner dress that had a slit from her thigh downward. It was tight and hugged her body perfectly, exposing
Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 98. Reconciliation
Giovanni wrapped up the last file he was working on and heaved a sigh of relief. Everything had been going on well over the last month. The family business was booming, he was getting more clients and investors and Palermo was calm. The only area of worry he had now was his love life. Cielo had refused to see him since then even after he had tried to plead on different occasions.He had been away for over two weeks and now that he was back in town, he was going to try to speak to her again. He arranged the files on the table before getting up. He picked up his phone from the table and checked the time on it. It was a few minutes past five pm. He stepped out of the office and locked the door before getting into his car.“Knew I was gonna find you here,” Giovanni said and Cielo turned to look at him. Her mouth opened in surprise as she stared at him. He smiled at her and she smiled back.“How did you find me here?” she questioned with a shy smile. She had missed him a lot and seeing him
Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 97. Keeping an eye for family.
Enzo waited patiently in the back seat of the jeep for his prey. His face was covered in a mask, his hair under a cap and he had a big hoodie on. A perfect disguise for a cold late night.Some minutes later the door of the driver's side of the car opened and someone stepped in. He dropped his phone and a file by the space between the two seats and Enzo counted each passing seconds before he attacked. He took out the gun from under his hoodie silently and cocked it, placing it on the side of Gallo's head.Gallo tried to act immediately but he hit him hard on the side of his head with the butt of the gun. “Gallo Esposito. It's really unsafe to be driving around Palermo alone, especially at this period.” Enzo mouthed without a smile. “I heard what happened to the institution. Also heard you've been looking for who did it. Why do you suspect Cielo Verrilli?” he asked and then paused. He observed the visible shift in his demeanor at the mention of Cielo's name.“What? Surprised that I know
Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 96. Death threat
Cielo sat on the chair in front of the large table in Giovanni's mini study sorting some files. It was minutes past 10 am in the morning. Giovanni was still in bed. She had woken up some hours earlier, made breakfast, and got to work. Giovanni had woken up to take breakfast with her and returned to the bed after.She paused and looked at a particular document. She opened it and scrolled through its contents before dropping it in shock. She picked it up and stared at it, unable to believe its content before she stormed to the form with the papers in her hand.She walked into the room to see that Giovanni was no longer on the bed. She heard the water rushing in the ensuite so she waited for him to walk out. He walked out some minutes later, saw her standing with her hands folded, and smiled at her.“Hey,” he said with a cheerful smile.“How long have you known about this?” she asked, producing the paper from behind her and thrusting it into his hands. He raised an eyebrow, surprised at
Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 95. Attack on the institution
The scanner scanned her retina and Cielo stepped inside with the heave of a sigh. She had taken off her bulletproof vest and dropped it with Giovanni. Wearing it inside was going to draw a lot of attention to her and she didn't want that. Especially not at this point.There were few people in the hallway so it was easy for her to walk past them. Not like the other agents really cared. The only person that could have been nose high in her business was Piero and he was dead now.“I have gotten in. On my way to the security room.” She informed both Giovanni and Enzo through the device on her ear. She took a left turn as she got closer to the security room. The security room was always locked but she could bypass that.She got to the door and looked around before taking out a key from her pocket. She fixed it into the lock and turned it and the door gave way. She walked in and looked at the different switches in the room. Most of them looked familiar. She walked to the alarm system and br
Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 94. Getting heated
“Enzo is the son of Matteo Verrilli the late mob boss and he'll be taking over as the head of the family,” Morelli announced and the room went dead silent. Their mouths hung down in shock and he could see the look of surprise on their faces.They soon recovered from the shock and began murmuring among themselves.“What?” Rafael yelled, his eyes burning red in fury. He looked like he could kill anyone at that instant. “What do you mean by that?” he asked, rising from his seat and walking to the front. He gave Enzo a cold stare which he returned. The two men stared at each other coldly before Morelli cleared his throat, making Rafael spare him a glance. “You must surely know Matteo Verrilli. He was a very successful leader and this is his son, Enzo -”“How sure are you? It could be an imposter trying to get into the family.” Rafael interrupted. “I carried out my tests. It is truly a Verrilli blood.” Morelli replied, starting to get irritated by Rafael's bickering.“But you can't do th
Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 93. Enzo's return
Giovanni rushed to his side and kicked the gun further away while Enzo stepped in fully. They had been communicating all this time through the device on their ear. Enzo had told him to do as Romano said while he prepared to take a clean shot.Romano coughed on the floor while Giovanni rushed to unbind Cielo.“Where are the fucking keys?” Giovanni screamed at him and he laughed evilly, annoying Giovanni. Giovanni went down on him, punching him before putting his hands in Romano's pocket where he found the key. He got up and left Romano groaning in pain and rushed to Cielo who looked like she could pass out any time.He unlocked the chains and she fell into his arms in a tight hug. She placed her head on his shoulder as tears dropped from her eyes. She whimpered before wiping her tears with the back of her palm.“It's alright, love. I'm here for you.” Giovanni comforted her while he wrapped his arms around her. The hug lasted for some minutes before they pulled away. Enzo handed his gun
Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 92. Operation rescue Cielo
“What do you know about the abduction?” Enzo asked. A bit calm now.Giovanni explained everything that happened since he started ringing Cielo till when he went to her house to find her phone on the floor outside.“If we can't find her soonest, we'll have to wait for his call,” Giovanni added. Enzo looked like he wanted to say something but thought against it. He nodded at him before opening the door of his car. He stopped and turned to face Giovanni again.“Put me on when you find something,” he uttered before getting into his car. He drove off leaving Giovanni standing there. Giovanni shrugged before getting into his car and driving off.***Romano walked into the room where Cielo was held and flickered the light on. She gave her an ugly smile as he watched her seated on the cold floor, curled up in the corner. But there was something missing. Fear.There was no look of fear in her eyes, making him surprised. Rather, she looked daringly at him. She snorted as he walked closer and he
