"What happened between you and Leonardo? You know how short-tempered he is, why did you have to get on his nerve, if I had not come in when I came in, you might have really been dead by now" Jason said as he accompanied Lily out of the company building but Lily paid no attention to what Jason was sayingHer body was still trembling from the fact she almost lost her life few minutes ago just for expressing her anger and now what? She's suspended till God knows when?Not that she's psyched about working for the Mafia Empire but if she's suspended then that means she's not going to be paid by the company and if she's not going to be paid by the company then how is she going to complete the payment for her debt?Fleets of cars suddenly drove into the company and Jason knew it was the Mafia boss"I know I promised to drop you off today but I'm afraid that won't be possible again, you go home and I'll come check up on you later when all my work is done, so go, I'll see you later" Jason said
Lily's Mom was speechless, her daughter's sudden outburst and revelations were a lot to take in"But why Lily, why would you leave your work at the Art Gallery to work at such a place?" her Mom asked"I wouldn't be working at that Empire if not for Dad, he came to me one night and told me he had taken a million dollars loan from DiCaprio Mafia Empire and he used your house as mortgage, if he didn't pay up, they were going to seize your house so I had no choice but work at the Empire just to pay his stupid debt" Lily cried and Mrs Derulo engulfed her daughter in a tight hug"I'm sorry sweetheart, parents are supposed to clean after the mess of their children, I'm so sorry that it had to be the other way round for you" Mrs Derulo saidSeeing her daughter cry made her heart break and knowing that her father is the cause of all the pain Lily is going through tore her heart apartWhy did she have to marry such a man? He broke their little family apart yet that isn't enough for him? Now he
Anna finished up from work at the Art Gallery and decided to go check on her friend Lily, it's been days since they last saw each and she misses herShe took a cab straight to Lily's apartment As she stepped down from the cab, she noticed the door to Lily's apartment was wide openThat's weird, Lily never leaves her door openShe quickly paid the cab driver and ran to Lily's apartment"Oh my God!!!" she screamed on seeing Lily on the floor in a pool of her own bloodThe cab driver that brought her in heard her scream and stepped out of his car"Is everything okay over there Miss?" he asked"She's dying, my friend is dying" Anna cried and the cab driver quickly went to meet her"Pull yourself together, we should immediately take her to the hospital" the cab driver said and Anna noddedThey quickly lifted Lily up and laid her in the carAnna stayed with her friend in the backseat crying and praying for her to surviveThe cab driver drove as fast as he could to the City hospital and Lil
Antonio DiCaprio sat on the exquisite armchair in his room smoking a cigar and holding a gun as the gangsters that he had sent to kill Lily and those he sent after Leonardo reported back to him of what had happened"So you failed to kill that lady and you two failed to follow up with Leonardo wherever he goes" Antonio DiCaprio said as he puffed out a circle of smoke from his mouth "We are sorry boss" they apologized and Antonio DiCaprio chuckledHe dropped his cigarette and stood up with his gunHe walked towards the one he sent to kill Lily"A bullet through the head, that's what I instructed you to do to the girl or have you suddenly forgotten how kill someone? Should I remind you of how it is done?" Antonio DiCaprio said as he placed he cocked his gun and pointed it at his forehead"I messed up boss, I was in a hurry cause I was concerned someone might see me so I shot her quickly without confirming if she's dead or not, I'm sorry boss, I promise to finish the job next time" he sa
Jason drove as fast as he could to Anna's mansion and he knocked on the door repeatedly"Sir" Gabriel said as he opened the door"Where's Anna?" Jason asked"Still asleep Sir" Gabriel answered"Well wake her up, we must find Lily and she's the only one that can tell us what the hell happened!" Jason said as he barged into the house"But she hasn't slept since yesterday Sir" Gabriel protested"She can sleep after I find Lily" Jason said and began to shout Anna's name"Anna!!""Anna!!!"Gabriel stared at his boss and sighed, he has known Jason for years this is the first time he's seeing him loose his cool and being so irrational"She's in her bedroom, I'll go get her" Gabriel said and went off to Anna's bedroom"Hey, babe" Gabriel slightly tapped sleeping Anna and she slowly opened her eyes"Gabriel?" she called with a shaky voice"Yes sweetheart, are you okay?" Gabriel asked"Lily? Have you found her?" Anna asked immediately remembering her best friend that got shot and disappeared fr
Jason and Gabriel drove to the City hospital and met with the doctor that operated on Lily"He said he was going to take her away that she's not safe here" the doctor recounted Leonardo's words to Jason and Gabriel"How could you let a stranger go away with an unconscious patient in need of treatment!!" Jason yelled"He's no stranger, he is her boss at work and in absence of any family member, he is her guardian and he is also Leonardo DiCaprio, did you expect me to go against the notorious Mafia heir?" the doctor said and Jason scoffed"And you find it okay to go against me do you not? You better give some useful information that can help me in finding Leonardo else....""This is a hospital facility Sir, I am a senior doctor here and I shall condone no threatening from you" the doctor maintained and Jason brought out his gun pointing it at the doctor"You were saying?" Jason asked as he cocked the gun"Stop Jason, the doctor has no fault in this" Gabriel said"Perhaps, Leonardo took
Leonardo stared at Lily as she spoke, he doesn't deserve her, he doesn't deserve someone with such a pure heart"I do not deserve you Lily" Leonardo uttered"I don't think love cares about who deserves who and who doesn't Leonardo" Lily said"Being with me will be a very risky journey" Leonardo pointed out"Life itself is a risk, what matters is if the risk is worth taking" Lily stated"And am I a risk worth taking?" Leonardo asked"That I cannot decide, only time will tell but for now, I want to take this risk and give it my all" Lily said and Leonardo couldn't stop gazing at her for a while, if only he wasn't a Mafia, if only his father isn't Antonio DiCaprio, if only he came from a not so messed up home, if only he didn't have a revenge mission he must carry out all cost, if only..."I should get this disposed" Leonardo said bringing himself back to reality and picked up the dustpanLily watched as Leonardo walked out, she just literally told his Mafia boss that she's in love with

Alberto asked"I failed to live up to your expectations" Jayden uttered and Alberto shook his head"True but that's not the main thing you did wrong Jayden, what is the number one etiquette of a Mafia group that every Mafia must follow?" Alberto queried"The Mafia code" Jayden answered"And can you list the number of

John just started his day at the hospital but he was very uncomfortable, he kept thinking of Nadia, the way she left in tears yesterdayHe decided to call Nadia and she picked up the call"Nadia...""I just picked up the call to tell you that I'm leaving the country soon, I'm already at the airport and I'll disconnect this phone number so do not bother yourself with someone as bad as me again John, have a good life" Nadia stated"Wait, wait, wait, what do you mean you are already at the airport? Which airport is that?" John asked"The international airport, why are you asking?" Nadia asked"Do not leave Nadia, I'm coming" John saidHe ended the call and dashed out of the hospital......"Lily? Lily get out of there and save yourself! The bomb will explode any second!!" Leonardo yelled"Leonardo? Is that you? Oh my God Leonardo! I thought you are dead" Lily cried"I'll handle the mafia boss Leonardo, run for the door and get Lily out of here" Jason said and Antonio scoffed"You'll hand
Nadia heard a knocking in her room early in the morning and she dragged her feet to open the door"Why are you waking me up so early Jason?" Nadia asked on seeing Jason by the door"Father is going soon and I want us to have breakfast together before he leaves" Jason said"Why? Is this because I said I'm traveling out of the country today so you want to make some special memories with me before I go?" Nadia asked"You can say so, just come down to the dining room" Jason said and walked offThey all sat in the dining room eating breakfast"Did you make this Jason it actually tastes good" Nadia complimented"It taste funny to me, I.... I think I'm going have to use the......the bathroom" Alberto stuttered as he stood up clutching onto his stomach and ran to the bathroom"Is he okay?" Nadia asked"I think I'll have to make a call to the mafia boss that father is too sick to come to work today" Jason smiled.....Lily had refused to eat anything since she work and found out about Leonardo
"What are you doing here Nadia?" John asked noticing how swollen Nadia's eyes were like she must have cried alot"You answer my question first, is that Francesca? It is her right? Does this mean you helped Leonardo fake her death? Were you walking with Leonardo the whole time?" Nadia questioned"Lets.....lets talk outside Nadia" John said leading Nadia outside"I'm sorry for keeping everything a secret from you but now that you've found out, you'll have to be quiet about it till Leonardo and Jason finishes the mission" John stated"Leonardo and Jason? I thought Leonardo was dead? I heard he was shot dead by Jason, was that a lie too? Do you know how bad I felt when I heard about Leonardo's death? I felt it was all my fault, I thought he wouldn't have died if I didn't help the mafia boss get Lily in the beginning, I thought that I had forced my brother to kill his best friend, I bawled my eyes out in regret! I hated myself! I felt everything was now worthless so I came here to let you
John and Jason walked into Leonardo's VIP room John rushed to Leonardo's bedside"Look at me Leonardo, can you see me clearly? How are you feeling?" John asked and Leonardo tried to sit up"Don't put a strain on your body Leonardo, you are still recuperating" John adviced but Leonardo ignored him and managed to sit upLeonardo looked around, he is at a hospital, he didn't dieHe saw Jason standing by the door and staring at him"You didn't kill me" Leonardo said"I did consider it, but you are more useful alive than dead" Jason said"You should've Jason, letting me live put not only your life at risk but also father and sister's lives, the mafia boss will kill them all if he figures out that I'm still alive""That is why we have to kill him before he finds out" Jason stated"You want us to kill the mafia boss?" Leonardo asked"Was that not what you were planning to do? So I suppose you must already have a plan in place""Before that, where is Lily?" Leonardo enquired"You don't have
Lily opened her eyes and the first face she saw beside her was AnnaAnna? How can Anna be here? She is currently in hiding with Leonardo, inside a little cabin in the woods so how can Anna be here?Oh, she knows what's going on, she must be dreaming, she must have missed her friend so much that she's now dreaming of seeing herAnna noticed Lily's eyes was now open, she's finally awakeAnna screamed at the top of her voice"Oh my gosh you are awake!!!" Anna squealed"You.....you are real?" Lily stuttered staring at Anna in disbelief"What do you mean Lily, of course I am real, I am your friend Anna, do you not recognize me?" Anna asked"Of course I... I recognize you but what are you doing here?" "What am I doing here? Look around Lily, this is my home and you are here with me, you have no idea how happy that you are finally back Lily, I'm so glad to finally see you again!" Anna said as she enveloped Lily in a hugLily looked around, it is Anna's apartment, this is not a dream, Anna
"What?!!! What the hell did you just do Jason?!! How could you?!!" John shreiked as Leonardo remained still on the ground in a pool of his own blood"The mission is to kill Leonardo DiCaprio and the mission has been completed, take Francesca away and never show up in front of me again, the next time I see you, you'll be meeting the same fate as Leonardo so you better pray there won't be a next time" Jason said as he turned back facing his mafia escort"Should we get the body?" One of them ask"There's no need for that" Jason said as he turned back and took a picture of Leonardo's body with his phone"He is dead already and this picture will be enough evidence for the mafia boss, I do not want to get his blood stains all over the car" Jason stated He entered his car, his escort followed suite and they all drove offHis escort drove back to the company while Jason's car when. straight to the mafia boss's mansion to make a reportJason walked into the mansion along with two of the mafia
Chapter 78"What? What will Lily be doing at a hospital?" John asked confused as he looked at Leonardo"She... she had suddenly lost consciousness so I had to rush her to the hospital" Leonardo replied"Then how did Jason find her?" John asked"Allow me to save you the trouble and explain how things panned out, when you came to the company and you heard it being reported to me that they've been found, it wasn't the hideout that was found out, one of our mafia guys that we placed around sighted Leonardo in the hospital so we were headed for the hospital, I knew John would try to warn you or come save you guys from me so I sent some guys to the hospital to check it out while I followed John discreetly and because he was in such a hurry to come and save you and Francesca, he never noticed he was being followed" Jason narrated"So you used me!" John muttered"You presented yourself as an opportunity John, and heck yeah I took that opportunity to complete this mission" Jason smiled"Your
John ran out of the company, a futile effort to try and stop Jason as he already sat in the car and along with his entourage, they zoomed off at an insanely fast speedJason's word repeated again in John's head....."I do not want to do this but I am at a cross road where I have to make a choice between family and friends, since my friends seems to have disregarded me, I've decided to go with family".....Jason was told that they've been found, John wondered if "they" meant "Leonardo and Lily""No, no that can't be" John uttered as he quickly got into his car and zoomed off tooJason knows about Francesca too, he knows she is not dead, everything is so messed up right now, he must meet Leonardo, he must meet him quickly, hopefully before Jason gets to them.....The lady that drove Leonardo and Lily to hospital had already left while Leonardo continued to pace around the emergency room where Lily was being tended toMoments later, the doctor walked out of the emergency room and Leona
