Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 71.
“One of the agents broke into the center and I think I know just who it was.” Piero stared confidently. The director stared at him in surprise. No one had reported any break-ins. Attempted or successful to him. “Break in? I haven't heard of that.” the director exclaimed out of surprise.“Yes,” Piero affirmed. Happened in the early hours of last night. I tried to catch the intruder. We got into a scuffle, she elbowed me on the side and escaped.” Piero added.“She?” the director asked. The pronoun caught him by surprise. “Why would a female agent want to break into the library?”“Yes sir. It was agent Mia Dante.” Piero responded and the director stared at him like he had said something stupid. He scoffed in disbelief before breaking into a short laugh. “We got into a little scuffle, I felt her skin and hair, so I know it's her for a fact,” he argued. “Take a seat, Piero. Let's talk.”Piero took the seat in front of him and placed his hands on his thighs. He heaved a sigh, waiting for

Piero felt all the air get sucked out of him at the man's statement. Everything was going on wrongly.“What?” this time it was the director's turn to express his surprise. The shock on his face was even greater than that of Piero.“We are still trying to find out the cause of the hitch. All hands are on deck and we will report back to you in less than two hours.” the head of the surveillance department said, trying to pacify the director.At that point, Piero wanted to get up and scream. It wasn't a glitch. It was a well thought out and executed plan by Cielo and whoever she was working with. “That little witch.” he gritted his teeth trying to look calm while he was boiling like a volcano inside. “Good. Get back to me immediately, we need to get to the root of this.” the director spoke and the head of the surveillance unit nodded. Piero stared at him from the side of his eyes. He felt the director was being too soft. He wished he was the director at that point. The head of the survei

Cielo watched in shock as the man walked away after shooting Piero in the arm. Everything happened so fast, she barely had time to process it. Piero groaned loudly on the floor, bringing her attention back. She quickly rushed to his side and helped him sit up. The bullet didn't penetrate deep, it just grazed his flesh. It was either he wasn't really a good shooter or was an expert.She quickly tied a cloth over the wound and helped him up into the back seat of her car. She made him sit in the back seat and made sure he was comfortable before getting into the driving seat and drove off. All this while, Piero looked at her in silence. Why was she suddenly showing him care? And who was that guy that had shot him? Everything was too much for him to process at once so he sighed, leaning back on the backrest of the car to rest.Cielo drove into the institution some minutes later and drove towards the clinic. She helped him out of the car into one of the rooms where a nurse was to attend to

“I'm Lorenzo. Lorenzo Verrilli,” he replied, satisfied with the expression that it brought to their faces. “Who?” one of the brothers asked after some seconds had passed. He knew the name, Verrilli, but he had never heard of Enzo. It's always been Alessio, and now Morelli. The guard released his grip on Enzo but still remained behind him. Enzo shrugged the aftermath of the grip off and refocused his attention on the men in front of him. The Vladimir brothers were known to be cruel and money minded. They controlled a great percentage of wealth in Palermo, thanks to the partnership they had with Alessio and the Verrilli family. One that didn't favor the Verrilli family. The Vladimir family was one of the strongest families back in Russia. They dealt in drugs, and weapons, and had a fair share of real estate investments. They controlled one of the largest regions in Russia and after coming of age, Dominik and his brother, Dimitri were told to remain in Italy, where they had schooled to

Enzo walked out of the clubhouse, a satisfied smile on his face. He felt proud of himself at that point. He was sure they were going to accept his conditions. They had no other choice not to. After Morelli had told him about the Russians's refusal to accept a meeting with him, he had decided to do a little investigation on them and what he found was mind boggling. Apart from the usual drug and weapons trade, the Vladimir brothers were involved in human trafficking. They operated an underground house in Italy where they brought in girls from Russia and sold them to some big men in the country. They also trafficked young Italian girls to Russia for prostitution and drug pushing. This was against the Vladimir family's wishes and had been secretly going on for about two years. Letting the cat out of the bag was going to break Mr. Vlamidir's trust in the boys and hurt Dominick's chances of taking over from his father after retirement and Dominik didn't want that. ****Cielo sat in the ro

After spending some hours in the bar, Cielo got into her car and drove out. It was late into the night and the road was starting to get deserted. She had drunk a substantial amount of alcohol and the effects were now weighing on her. She muttered incoherent words as her hands wobbled on the steering wheel. She drove to a stop by the side of the road and pulled out a bottle of water, drinking half of its content at a go. She capped the bottle and dropped it back before starting the car again.She drove to Giovanni's place, and in a few minutes, she was standing in front of his door, ringing the doorbell. She still felt a little tipsy, and her eyes were a little fogging but she willed herself to stay strong. She leaned on the wall beside the door and closed her eyes. She heard footsteps coming towards the door but didn't open her eyes. Few seconds later, the door was pulled open and Giovanni stepped outside and looked around before spotting her standing beside the door. He took a step c

“Who is ready for dinner? Giovanni exclaimed with a light smile on his face. Cielo hissed in displeasure at Giovanni breaking the kiss.“Is dinner necessary?” she pouted, looking like a cute four year old girl, denied of her favorite candy.“Of course, it is. So what do you wanna eat?” he asked, already moving to the cupboard where all the ingredients were stocked.“Anything you make, I'll eat. As long as it isn't poison.” she joked, earning a chuckle from him. He turned on the sink and washed his hands before turning to her again.“I got you covered. Sit back and watch the chef for his work,” he replied, giving her a kiss on her lips. The kiss took her by surprise, making her blush. This was the first time she was looking truly happy in a long while, and she had Giovanni to thank for it. The smile lingered on her face as she watched Giovanni work. She drooled at his muscular back as his muscles flexed ” seductively with every action he took. He looked like a god under the kitchen lig

The director walked into Piero's room and met him lying face down on the bed. He stood by the door and watched Piero who turned on hearing the door open. It's been three days since Piero got shoot. He had gotten better, but he had been kept locked in the room since then.“I heard you ordered for me to be locked in here. Huh?” Piero challenged, sitting up on the bed. He had spent the last three days in the room in boredom. Just watching TV, reading magazines, and sleeping. That was boredom for him. He hated being confined in one place for a long time.“Ya. I needed you to fully recover.” the director replied, walking further into the room. His hands were buried deep in his pockets and he walked leisurely towards Piero's bed. Piero stared at the director and scoffed like he was in disbelief. “recover?” he asked like the word was some kind of strange word. “You know you didn't do that for me. Tell me something new." He didn't believe the director. He knew he didn't do that for him. The

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
