Dead Ends Chapter 19
I arrived at Ohio at past seven and headed straight to the location Don gave me. I looked at her instructions and all I needed to do was to set the beautiful master piece on fire but I had to get something from an underground room.I parked my car at a safe distance from the mansion. Somewhere dark and unnoticeable precisely. Once I was a hundred percent confident with my choice of stationing I got changed into a pair of leather pants and a black hoodie. I laced up my boots and got down from the car with a gun tucked behind my pockets.I got a confirmation call from Rocco informing me that the coast was clear. I caught my hair in a pony tail and wore a baseball cap and my hood over it.Ensuring that no one in sight was watching me I climbed over the gates of the mansion and made my way inside. I was able to get through the front door easily cause Rocco had done the needful. Thick darkness stuffed up the living room making it a little bit difficult to navigate my way and considering th
Dead Ends Chapter 20
"I'll be the mother of Esmeralda and in return you'll be my lawyer again" her words rang a bell in my head and it took a lot of muscles in my face not to break into a smile.Maja is not the best woman out there considering her notorious records, her illicit doings and who she is but I believe that despite all these darkness that defined her there's a light and I'm certain my gem is the one who would cause that light to shine.Asking Maja Elzandre, a ruthless murderer and lethal criminal to be the mother to my most precious being was a grave decision but I still can't deny the little affirmation within myself that she's going to give Esmè the love of a mother that she deserves. Maja risking her life to save Esmè and even going out of her way to take care of her after is a major confirmation to the doubts I was feeling before I made my decision.Having her to be Esmeralda's mother is much better than having her real mother or a random lady who will only be after my money and dick and hi
Dead Ends Chapter 21
We arrived at my mansion so I could get my stuff and I took the opportunity to leave some instructions for my staff members.The ride back to his place was a comfortable silent one as our minds were placed on different dimensions of our thoughts. He stopped at a toy store to pick up a teddy bear and a new set of dolls for Esmè and I couldn't help but admire the way he loves and adore his daughter. The moment he returned I fixed my eyes out of the window but the strong aroma of chicken Taquitos filled my nostrils and I shifted my gaze to my left to find him holding out a bag filled with snack. His little act of care stirred up lots of emotions within but i shut them down and decided not to ponder on it, instead I took it as just a generous and humane act. I murmured a thank you and took it from his hold all the while i ignored his to avoid getting hypnotized by them. Staring in his eyes makes me feel a little bit out of control and that's something I can't handle.We got to the mansio

"Remember all you have to say?" The lady he was talking to gave him a firm nod and with that he dismissed her. "Riccardo what's going on?"He looked up from his laptop to stare at me. "Witnesses for the case" my brows shut up and he exhaled cause he knew he needed to give explanation. "Just trust me on this Maja, everything will be fine" he assured me. I do trust in his capability but what bugged me was how he got the said witnesses and the evidence that was oblivious to me. "You aren't going to give an explanation?" He said nothing which was the answer to my question. I rolled my eyes and got up from the chair to go get ready for the hearing.I finished getting ready and went out to find Riccardo waiting for me already and looking all ravishing in his glory. The black tuxedo clung to his body like a second skin, showing a perfect curve of all his muscles. His face was buried in a file and the way his brows furrowed and flattened at every line he read had me creaming my panty. I call

"If you were really there then why didn't you report the crime immediately?" She angrily shot at her and Deborah began sobbing."You are right Attorney Alicia but I couldn't bring myself to report to the police cause it was traumatizing. I saw the way they st.... I can't, I'm sorry" she sobbed harder and because of her breakdown she was given some moment to pull herself together. She's quite skilled. I complimented her actions in my head."We're sorry for making you remember the gruesome events that may have happened that day but we need your testimony Deborah" Riccardo said and she nodded then she cleaned her eyes and pretended to pull herself so she could start talking again."Deborah how was Mr Castillo murdered?" Riccardo asked. "I saw him get stabbed repeatedly" I noticed Alicia looked at her alliances to confirm if she was saying the truth and they nodded which made her clench her jaw in fury."Where did you go after the scene?" Riccardo asked."I fled back to my apartment befor
Dead Ends Chapter 24
Following the direction Mr Herrera sent to me I arrived at the Fernandez house. A simple story building occupied the land. The golden lights blasting from the inside mixed up with the white exterior to dash out a modern and elegant look.I parked my car a safe distance from the house and constantly glancing at my wrist watch as I waited for the right time to strike. I dork my head at the sight of a speeding car that drove towards the gates of the house and brought my head back once the car had disappeared behind the gate. I put my shade on and drove a little further to have a closer look at what was going on inside.I found Alicia getting down from the car and walking into the arms of an old man and I could tell who he was already. I watched her speak to him with a pout and look of annoyance on her face and I figured out she was probably telling her daddy about her loss.I smirked and shook my head while my eyes scanned the shiny blade in my hand with admiration. "Enjoy your last mome

By the time I had arrived at Riccardo's the lights were turned off already signaling they were asleep already. I got to my room and quickly went into the bathroom to get calmed by the spluttering pour of cold water. Though it didn't help in washing away the strong emotions I was feeling it did help in giving a clear head for thinking.I settled in a silk night shorts and a matching shirt. I knotted my hair into a bun and left my room for the kitchen. In no time I located the light switch and flipped it on. I walked towards the fridge and pulled out a can of freezing soda and left the kitchen to the gardenThe orange flavored liquid succeeded in burning my thirst and quenching the fire in my insides. I shut my eyes and ran my palm down my face cause this was that point in life where one feels helpless and lost.There were too many puzzles with so many missing blocks out there for me to fix and seemed like the more I try to fix the puzzles, the more complicated it becomes. I had no one
Dead Ends Chapter 26
I stayed up in my room reading the black book don gave to me some time last week but i realized it was the translated version of what Claudia told me about.For the hundredth time that day I glanced through the list of allies whose names were inscribed in the book and i was totally lost cause no name seemed familiar and i was frustrated cause I didn't know who I could trust. Fuck everything felt like a dead end. I cursed and raked my hands in my hair.I shut the book and groaned in frustration. I was disrupted by the soft knock of someone. Immediately I figured out it was Esmeralda I hurriedly cleared my bed from the files and other stuff that didn't need to be seen by her."Mamá, can I come in?" I heard her soft voice call from the other end as I walked towards the door to unlock it. I opened it to find her staring up at me with a sheepish look and then I realized she was dressed already which caused me to smile."Is that what you gonna' wear and follow mamá?" I crossed my arms and r

8 years ago(2 months after the accident)I got into my apartment and pulled the winter coat off my body. "Whew! That was a heavy one" i muttered and locked the door. I strode over to the kitchen to make myself a cup of hot coffee and just as I was about to take a sip the door bell rang which made me groan in annoyance.I left the kitchen and went over to get the door. "Martina" a handsome tall stranger stood at my door with a killer smile on his face. He seemed familiar but I couldn't recall where I met him. Maybe he was part of the memory i lost."Hi, who are you?" Hurt flashed in his eyes and he sighed. "Can I come in?" He asked and though I was reluctant I still gave him a room to come in.I shut the door and offered him a seat. "Coffee?" He nodded and I went to the kitchen and made an extra cup. I returned with our cups of coffee and handed him his own."You really can't remember me?" He asked in a hush tone and I looked away from his hurt face. "I'm sorry..... "Stefano" his name s

8 years later"... but dad.... "Esmè" he called in a warning tone and glared at her. "You are going no where and that's final" he spoke in a pitch laced with finality and went up the stairs. "Mamá" she looked up at me with tears filled in her eyes and I sighed."I'm sorry princess, I may not be able to do anything about it this time but I know someone who could help you" i wiggled my brows and her eyes lit up with hope glistening in them. "Who?""Your grandma, mum can help you. So you're going to go to your room and freshen up then come back for dinner and after that we'd figure out how to get daddy to let you go for that party, what do you say?" She grinned and threw her arms around my torso. "Thank you mamá, I love you" "I love you too baby" i kissed her forehead and she ran up the stairs. I smiled and shook my head in satisfaction. I never thought I'd find peace after I left the mafia life behind but the fact is that, it is one of the best decision i made.Starting a life and a fa

".....daddy's hosting a winter ball this Christmas mamá and there's no one to dress me up like my favorite princess, so you have to wake up so you'll do that for me. And here I got you this cute teddy bear, grandma told me it'd make you wake up from your deep sleep" I could hear all she was saying but I didn't have the energy to open my eyes.I felt her weight on my tummy and the soft furs of the teddy bear against my skin yet I couldn't move nor speak cause it felt like the whole organs in my body were being restricted. I heard the sound of the door and though my condition had me in a position where I was surrounded by the awful smell of medicines my nose was still able to pick up his fresh and intoxicating scent."Princess you've been here the whole day, c'mon you have to go with grandma you need to have dinner and go to bed" I could imagine the pout on her face and I desperately wanted to stop him from taking her away. "Daddy, she still isn't waking up, the teddy bear didn't help"

We arrived at the given address and I jumped out of the car without waiting for her to park the car properly. My back landed harshly on the ground but it was nothing compared to the pain I was feeling in my heart. I stayed still for awhile before I got on my feet to go save my daughter."Maja.... "Makayla please remain in the car. So many people are in danger already" I pleaded and though she was reluctant to follow my instructions she did it anyways. I made my way to the door only to find it locked. "I fucking asked you to not bring anyone" I heard a female voice and Riccardo's voice followed."I didn't inform anyone" his voice held no emotion and i knew he was only trying to be calm for the sake of Esmeralda. "Open the door" I heard whoever it was ordered. The door pushed open and i hurriedly went in. At my arrival everyone turned their attention towards me and I definitely wasn't expecting the two souls that were present in the room. "Alicia?" She smiled menacingly at my situation a

"Are they all where they are supposed to be at?" She asked Rocco over the phone when we arrived at the location Samantha asked us to meet her in. "Yes Don""Do not attack until i say otherwise. Any little mistake can put her life in danger, get that?" she clearly instructed and he nodded his head in understanding. "When you have to talk to me, you know what to do already. "Sì don" she dismissed him and turned to me. "What's next?" I asked and she looked around the incomplete building then back at me. "We'd have to go in" i held her wrist to stop her from taking any step further. "That'll be dangerous...."Maja, relax and trust me will you?" Although I had a lot of insecurities about this I chose to trust her to bring us out of this situation. "I trust you sis but... "There's no but, just let me handle things and do whatever I ask you to do without questions, now let's go" she pulled my wrist and led us in.Our presence were graced by the dust and rough granites. We looked around for

I arrived at the casino and went down to our usual hideout room. Makayla, Rocco, Elvis and Uncle Fidel were already seated and they were in a middle of a conversation. I made my way to my seat and asked for a detailed explanation about the situation and Rocco began the narration."You said she met someone at the club, who's that?" I questioned. "That's what we have no idea about, we're trying to figure it out" i stood up and left to go seek answers for myself cause staying here will only lead to a conversation that goes in circle and my sister's life is in the hands of a monster.I got to the mansion and went up to the control room to check the cctv footage. It was seen that the house had been empty at the time of the abduction which made my brows furrow in confusion. "If someone dropped her..... he must have left her outside. I reasoned. I was able to get the footage of the cctv at the gate and zoomed into the car that dropped her off. Unfortunately I couldn't get a view of his face
Dead Ends Chapter 35
My head stung with pain and my eyes felt heavy to pop open. "Holy Fudge" i groaned at the hurtful feeling and twisted my body to the other end of the bed. I gripped into the soft sheets and buried myself between the scented pillows. The deep masculine scent..... masculine? Events of yesterday came crashing and I sat up from the bed ignoring the pain that was shooting in my head. I laid my back on the head rest and ran my palm down my face.My underwear and my dress were still intact meaning nothing happened last night. I tried recalling his face but the only thing i could make out were his gray marbles and attractive pink lips.I was about to get down from the bed when the door flew open to reveal my savior. He was just in a pair of white sweats. His upper body was left exposed and the sight was too.... I realized my thoughts were getting out of boundaries so I cleared my throat and looked away but I still couldn't get his well sculpted body out of my mind. "How are you feeling?" He

~Makayla~"Don" I looked behind me to find Rocco standing with no emotion written on his face. "Do you have any news?" I raised a brow and he shook his head."I'm sorry Don, we found her but Samantha and her allies are very smart. We were able to get her last location but before we could send our men she escaped" I hissed out in annoyance and clenched my fist to control my fury. "If she thinks she can hide forever then she's fucking insane" i mumbled angrily and looked at him. "Go back and get to work, ensure you and your team do all you can to get Samantha, she can't get away with her crimes. You can leave" he replied to my commands with a light nod.I stared at nowhere in particular with my mind pinned on all the horrible pain I'm going to bring Samantha. My thoughts were interrupted by the soft knock of someone. Without waiting for an instruction from me the door slowly creaked opened to reveal Layla, my assistant."I'm sorry to bother you Don but there's a man out there and he's
