Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 63. The attack on Romano
“Thank you for agreeing to go on this date with me.” Doctor Dushan said to Joan as they took their seats in one of the classiest restaurants in the city. It's been three weeks since they crossed paths at the coffee shop, and it's been three weeks of communication between them.“No need to thank me, Dushane,” Joan replied after Dushan had pulled a chair out for her. She sat down with a fat smile on her face and he took the seat in front of her, returning the smile, showing off his perfect dentition in the process. They picked up the menu on the table and scaled through it. Dushan closed his menu and signaled the waiter over.He arrived at their table with a smile and Dushan placed their orders. The same meal for Joan and himself, a bottle of wine and some pastries. Their meal arrived minutes later and they dug in silently.“The meal is great.” Cielo applauded after eating almost half of her meal.“Ya. I told you it would be.” Dushan replied. He opened the wine and turned it into two gl

Romano was inside the mansion when he heard a gunshot from outside. He sent one of his men outside to go check the cause. The man returned some seconds later, shouting there was an attack. He quickly got up from the chair where he sat, cross-legged, and dashed for his room.He made for the drawer by the bed and pulled it open, taking out two semi automatic rifles. He loaded them quickly and cocked them before rushing out of the room. He got intercepted by one of his men as he was rushing back downstairs.“You can't go back there,” he said, stepping in front of Romano. He held an Ak-47 rifle in his hand and looked unsettled.“What the hell are you saying?” Romano asked in anger. Giovanni comes to attack me in my own house, and you say I should run away. Are you mad?” he spat and tried to nudge him out of the way.“I'm sorry Capo, but I can't let you go out there. It is my duty to protect you.” the man replied, standing firm. Romano looked at him and scoffed. He raised one of the guns in

It's been a week since Giovanni attacked Romano at his second home. Romano had escaped and been on the low since then. Giovanni had eyes every, looking for Romano but it seems he had suddenly disappeared into the air.The burning house incident had gotten into the news and had spread quickly on the day about the incident, but after then, the media suddenly stopped talking about it, like someone had paid them to keep quiet.“Why did you attack Romano Rossi?” the Italian Mafia godfather asked Giovanni. They were both in his study, turned office at his home. He sat comfortably and crossed his legs while Giovanni stood in front of him, his hands folded behind him. “Romano crossed the line. He killed my family, and I cannot forgive him for that.” Giovanni replied, his voice strained with hate.“Why didn't you report it to me or the council?” the godfather asked. He puffed smoke out from his far stick of tobacco before turning to face Giovanni again.“I could take care of it, so there was

Cielo stared at Romano's back as he walked out of the pool area. He sounded as though he knew something. Something about her actions. She sighed and took her legs out of the water, getting up from the poolside. She walked to the lounge chair and lay on it, covering a big towel over her body.They had completed the case they worked on together, a few weeks ago. Though Piero took all the credit in front of the director, even after she put in most of the work, she didn't care. She had a lot more things on her mind, plus, she had walked on more difficult cases.The next morning, she walked into the gym room as early as five AM. It was a long spacious room that contained most of the equipment. Trea mills, weights, barbells, and cardio equipment.She first stepped on the treadmill and set the speed to a convenient one. After spending over ten minutes on the treadmill, she got down and went over to lift weights. It's been over a week since she last visited here. She had been a regular face a

Giovanni pulled up at Cielo's driveway and killed the engine of the car before stepping out. He was actually very surprised she had invited him over to her house. All the times they had met, it's been her coming around, but now, she invited him to hers. He stepped out of the car and looked around the neighborhood. The neighborhood looked to be quite an expensive one. She had sent him the address with the house description some hours ago so locating the exact house wasn't much of an issue. He barely knew anything about her so he couldn't know if she was rich enough to own a house in the neighbourhood. He walked towards the door and spotted Cielo standing by it with a smile on her face.“Hello, Mr. Cherisi, welcome.” she welcomed him with a smile once he was a few feet away. He scoffed within himself. He thought they had moved past all those formalities. After having sex a couple of times and getting involved in hot make out sessions, he thought he would be something away from “Mr. Che

Giovanni looked at her outstretched hand and scoffed softly, shaking his head a bit. He had no reason to cut a deal with her.“Why should I accept this offer?” he asked, ignoring Cielo's hand. She looked at her ignored hand and then dropped it.“Cos it will be beneficial to both of us,” she replied curtly.“I don't see how it will be beneficial to me, here. From what you've said, it's just about you. And why do you think I need you to get rid of Romano?” he asked, his tone a little condescending. She sighed and leaned back on the couch, making sure her back was on the backrest of the chair. “One, I can get you as much information as you need, about Romano, and even the anonymous man. I heard he's planning something big.” Cielo paused, making everything she said sink in. The word about the anonymous man caught his attention. He had totally forgotten about him and had focused all of his attention on Romano.“What do you know about the anonymous man?” he asked, and Cielo smiled. She fin

Cielo arrived at her house, parked her car in the garage, and walked in. She sighed as she sat on her favorite couch. She dropped the files she got from the office on the table before dropping her legs on the table too. She closed her eyes for some seconds in a bid to relax. Work and everything was starting to take a toll on her and the fact that she was going nowhere on her parent's murder case was very disturbing.She hissed as she picked up her laptop and turned it on. She stared at the blank screen as the booting process went on. The laptop finally came up and she inputted the password. She dropped the laptop on the table and walked to the little drawer on the other side of the room. There were three drawers, all of the same type. She bent to the last one and inputted its lock code before turning it open. The drawer was empty except for the object she was looking for. A flash drive. She picked it up and returned to the laptop. She sighed before inserting it into the laptop. It co

She switched on a little flashlight and held it with her mouth while when flipped through the pages of the first book she took out. There was nothing interesting in it so she returned it to the shelf and picked out another. The books were arranged chronologically so she just had to go to the decade that interests her and make a choice.After checking through five books, she couldn't find what she had been looking for. She realized everything looked quite simple until one attempted doing it. She stepped back tiredly and her foot hit a table behind her, making the books fall loudly to the ground.“Oh shit!” she exclaimed as she bent down quickly and tried to pick them up. The fall had been so loud, she was sure it was going to attract anyone that was around the area. She heard footsteps coming and she quickly left the book and hid behind a shelf. Soon, she heard someone try to open the door, and some moments later, the door was pushed open. She had only closed the door but failed to loc

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

“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
