Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 9. Piece of the puzzle
“Who are you?” he asked and a chill ran down her spine. She looked him straight in the eyes. “Did he find out about her?” she thought, trying to read his eyes. “What do you mean?” she asked in a low tone.“I want to know more about you. I found your card, it states your name is Mia, but I'm curious. I want to know more.” He replied and relief washed through her. He was yet to find out anything. She just had to be careful.“Yes, my name is Mia, Mia Dante. I work for the government.” She replied.“I know all of that already. Tell me what I don't know,” he replied and when he noticed the uneasy look she had, he added. “Let Me leave you to rest, we will talk later.'' With that, he walked out of the room, closing the door softly.Cielo heaved a sigh of relief as he walked out of the room. She had thought he already found out her secret. She closed her eyes to relax and fluttered them open immediately. She had to contact her boss immediately. She searched for her purse on the table and when
Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 10. Perfect night
Giovanni walked into Cielo's room to meet her standing by the window, looking out. The weather was cool, the sun had gone down and was now replaced by dark clouds that showed that it was going to rain.He stood by the door watching her. The thunder roared, and she stood unfazed by the window. She turned and saw a figure by the door and almost screamed.“Shit! You scared me.” She stated, leaning on the wall to face him.“Nice to hear that,” he replied sarcastically and he huffed.“Why would you even walk into a lady's room without Knocking? Are you a pervert?” her tone showed her annoyance. She was carrying out her pent up anger on him. He took quick steps and in a few seconds, he was standing in front of her, his right hand on her neck, choking her. She coughed as he stared at her with bloodshot eyes.“Don't you ever open your mouth to say shit about me in my house,” he warned, still choking her.She opened her mouth to say something but closed it after coughing multiple times. He rel
Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 11. According to plan
“How is it going on in the Palermo province?” a strange man asked.“Everything is going according to plan.” Romano Rossi replied. He was seated in the visitor's seat in the office of one of the men of the black eyed scorpion. The man's chair was turned, facing the wall so Romano could only see his back.“How do you intend to take out Giovanni?” the man questioned again. He was smoking from a fat tobacco pipe, Romano could only see the smoke it oozed.“We are working towards that. It is a three step plan that involves his brother and his new nightclub,” he replied with an air of confidence. The plan was to take out Giovanni so he could become the mob boss of Palermo. The position he had been eyeing ever since Giovanni took over. The men of the black-eyed scorpion had contacted him months ago with promises of making him the mob boss of Palermo. He had just one task, to sell the secrets and territory of the city to them. The plan had been going on for many months now and they felt it was
Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 12. A night
“Can't sleep?” Giovanni asked immediately she stepped into the balcony. She shivered slightly in fear as she heard the voice. She didn't expect to see him there at that time of the night. “Yes. Something like that,” she replied as she walked towards him. They both stood by the rail watching the calm night in the city.“It's a beautiful sight,” Giovanni stated, looking ahead. She nodded at the statement, choosing to remain quiet. They watched the night in silence for over five minutes before she decided to break the silence.“Do you do this every night?”“Watching the stars? Most nights.” He replied.“I guess you have a problem with sleeping” He nodded at her question and when he realized that she wouldn't see it, he mouthed “Sleep is for the weak.”She laughed at the statement while he still held a neutral expression. “Sleep is essential. Too much of sleeping is for the weak.” she corrected, making him turn his attention to her. “I guess that is correct too,” he replied. He shifted o

“... and checkmate.” the man in the white suit said as she smiled evilly. He was playing a game of chase on my computer, and so far, he had defeated the opponent multiple times.“Life is like a game of chess,” he told himself, looking at his diamond crafted wristwatch. He stepped down from his chair and went to his little bar pouring himself a drink. Things in the city of Palermo had just gotten interesting to him.“I have legit Intels. Romano needs to be taken down.” Angelo stated, causing him to raise an eyebrow.“Why do I need to take down Romano? He's a family leader.” Giovanni reminded him. Cielo sat quietly at the table, listening to their conversation without butting in.“He has been having meetings with a nameless man regularly. Rumors from dark sources suggest that he's planning to overthrow you.” Angelo replied crisply.“Interesting.”“We need to act fast while we still can. Just give an order, and his head will be rolling at your feet.” Angelo stated indignantly.“If I were

Angelo nodded. He trusted his brother to do what was right, but he wasn't going to fold his hands and watch his brother's hard work flushed down the drain by some faceless cowards!“How long do you intend to stay here?” he asked, rising from the chair.“Tell the other men to report to you. We will meet at the safe house.” he ignored his question. Angelo nodded, knowing better than to ask questions. He walked into his car and drove off. He drove to his personal house where he was welcomed by Gia who came out to welcome him as soon as she heard the sound of his car. He was at home with her before he received the call from his brother causing him to run out madly.“What happened? What made you run out that way?” she questioned, showing concern. He hugged her, kissing her softly on the lips.“I've had a stressful day, I need to rest now. You should head home now,” he responded, holding her by the waist. They were currently in a relationship. He had been dating her secretly for over a week
Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 15. Piero
—That was how she had gotten out of Giovanni's mansion and was now back to the base. She waited in her room for her boss to call for her. The driver had dropped her off about an hour ago after a short trip of complete silence. He didn't utter any word to her and she didn't bother starting a Convo. She had locked the door, stripped naked and gotten into the shower immediately she stepped into her room. She spent over two minutes in the bathtub allowing the warm water calm her tensed muscles. She sponged herself, before draining the water. Her thoughts drifted to Giovanni. Had he found out that she had broken away? Was he already looking for her? She knew he would already be looking for her. She didn't how how important the files were, but if they were important to her boss, then it would surely be important to him.She stepped out of the tub, wrapping herself in a big towel before walking over to her wardrobe. She took out a comfy baggy trouser and tank top and wore it before going to
Cielo: Chronicle of untold truths 16. Who's Piero?
“Huh?” She stared at him with wide eyes. She almost spat back her drink as he stared at him in surprise. Why was he asking her about it?“It was successful,” she answered plainly and he stared at her, not believing her.“And … ” he drew.“And I'm back” she offered him a tight smile and he stared back with a furious look in his eyes. He was always over-possessive of her. He had feelings for her and she knew it. They had gotten into a relationship some years ago during her first few years in the institution before she broke them up some months later. He had opposed her decision, but that was what she wanted. She didn't like the idea of dating.“Huh? Nothing happened?” he asked with a raised eyebrow, looking deeply at her like he could read through her. He suspected that she might have gone down with Giovanni.“All those little details are mine to keep or tell. What matters is that the mission was successful,” she replied calmly, looking at him deadbeat in the eyes. They stared at each ot

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
