Enzo took the only free seat in front of Jack, uncapped the wine, and turned a quantity into his glass. He took a sip from his glass of wine and nodded in appreciation. It was still the same luxurious taste. They drank in silence, each person waiting for the other to break the silence.After Enzo emptied his glass, he kept it aside and turned to the gentlemen who had invited him to the country. “So what do you have for me?” he asked, focusing his attention on Jack. Jack and Miguel both made eye contact and Miguel shrugged before Jack sighed.He opened up his laptop and input the lock code. He typed on some buttons before turning the laptop to Enzo. Enzo stared at the screen. There were pictures of three elderly men displayed on it.“These are the men we are looking for. Mancini Costa, Gallo Esposito, and Tom Smith,” Jack began. “There are the leaders of the black scorpione set. Two Italians and a British man. The research we carried out shows that Tom was arrested and served prison ti
Enzo took the first flight back to Italy the next morning. After thinking deeply about it, he was convinced the black scorpione was responsible for making him grow as an orphan. They were in Italy, and he was going to find them.They spent over three hours at Jack's office discussing the case and had gone to the bar to catch a drink after. Jack had canceled all his meetings for the day so the three friends had the rest of the day to themselves. ****Giovanni drove into Cielo's apartment and turned off the engine of the car, choosing to remain inside. He picked up his phone to make a call when he heard Cielo's front door open and she stepped out, looking very beautiful in her dress. She was dressed in a long black sleeveless dinner gown that went down to her ankle with a long slit from her thigh downward. The gown had a deep neckline that exposed some part of her round fleshy boobs.He dropped the phone and stared at every detail about her. She was dressed beautifully, he couldn't den
This chapter is rated 18+“I know of seven,” he muttered before claiming her lips in a kiss. The kiss was fierce and demanding. One of his hands was secured tightly around her waist as he went in for the kiss. He sucked on her lower lips, making her moan loudly. He sucked on her tongue, earning another moan from her. His other hand went down to her ass and he grabbed it. The sudden action made her yelp in pain and pleasure. His hands went behind her gown, searching for the zipper. He found it some seconds later and he traced it with his fingers before unzipping it. He helped her get out of the dress before throwing it to the floor some distance away. He stared at her under the dim lightning. She was now left with only a black thong and no bra, leaving her big round boobs open for his eyes to feed on.“You are sexy as fuck.” he exclaimed, more to himself than to her. His eyes ran over her exposed body hungrily, lingering on her boobs and legs. He pulled her closer, covering the distan
Early the next morning, Cielo woke up on Giovanni's bed. She tossed and turned to the side and couldn't see Giovanni beside her so she yawned and got out of the bed. She walked naked into the bathroom and washed her face before brushing her teeth. She walked into Giovanni's closet and picked out one of his shirts, big enough to cover up to her thighs, and wore it before walking out of the room. She could barely remember how she got to the bedroom last night. She could only remember them fucking on the couch and now she woke up on the bed. The sex last night was one of the best sex she had in her entire life. She blushed as she remembered the details. She walked downstairs and was greeted by the smell of bacon and cheese coming from the dining room.“I was beginning to think you wouldn't wake up,” Giovanni jokes, watching her walk toward the table.“What is the time?” she asked, looking around for a clock or anything that could tell the time.“It is some minutes to eleven,” Giovanni re
The hug lasted for more than a minute before they pulled away. They held each other's arms, looking at each other's faces tenderly. A tear slipped down Cielo's face and she wiped it with the back of her palm.“Are you hurt?” she asked with a cracked voice.“I'm fine,” he replied calmly. He walked closer to the attacker's car, opened the door, and stared at his face before closing it. He just confirmed that it wasn't Romano who attacked him, so who was he? The face looked strange and foreign. His mind raced in thoughts. Maybe it was the institution. He still had to find out.“How did you find me?” he asked, returning to where Cielo stood. It still baffled him how she was able to find out where he was, or had she been following him?“Long story short, I traced your location when you weren't picking up calls. Something seemed off so I decided to come see,” she replied.“Thank you very much, Cielo. I owe you one. Two actually.” she answered, remembering the other incident that had occurre
“I still can't believe this,” Giovanni commented. He was still yet to recover from the information he had received. Cielo and the anonymous man being siblings? That was a top tier combo right there.They were all seated on a round table with two laptops on it. One belonged to Cielo and the other one, to her brother. There were paper works littered on the table and they'd been seated here for the past thirty minutes and so far, nobody had said anything important.He let his mind wander. From the event the anonymous man had first shown, which was his first meeting with Cielo, to his subsequent meetings with her, to the two times she saved his life. He realized everything seemed interrelated.Cielo had confirmed to him that the attacker wasn't a part of the institution. He wasn't also one of Romano's men, so who was he? The question had been on his mind since then. This wasn't the most difficult situation he'd face but the fact that more than two people who wanted him dead was getting ti
“What is wrong with her?” Piero asked the director as he walked into his office.“She wants a break,” the director shrugged in response and he turned to look at the door where Cielo had walked out a few minutes ago. Why would she want a break? She had barely returned from the last one a few months ago and didn't even give her all. Something was definitely going on. He had to find out.He nodded at the director before walking out. Whatever he wanted to say to the director was going to have to wait. He came out and couldn't find her. In the past month, she had been spending less and less time at the institution and she barely spent a night at the institution's lodge._Cielo walked into her car and drove off. Whether her break was approved or not. One thing was sure. She wasn't returning. She couldn't spend another minute with her parents' murderers. And as for Piero, did he know who they really were?She arrived at her house parked at the garage and stepped in. It was beginning to look
“I have found a way to draw Giovanni out,” Romano informed his new underboss. They were both in Romano's office at a new location provided by the black scorpione.“What way?” his underboss asked, interested in whatever he wanted to say.“This,” Romano replied, handing his phone to him. The underboss stared at the screen before looking at Romano. There was a photo of a woman on the screen. Though it was a bit blurry, he could see her face clearly. What he didn't understand was the relationship between the woman and what he wanted to do.Romano caught the confused look on his underboss's face and laughed. His laugh transitioned into an evil smile as he stared ahead. “That right there is the key. I've been keeping an eye on Giovanni for a few days now. A week or more, I don't know.” he waved his hand and continued. “She is the closest to Giovanni right now. There seem to be lovers or something of that sort,” he explained with a proud smile on his face.“Hmmm.” his underboss replied, equa
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
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
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
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 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
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
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
“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
