Nadia sat in the front seat with Jason as he drove them to the Company"You drive like a snail" Nadia remarked"It's called being careful Nadia, if I drive too fast and something happens, father will skin me alive for putting you in danger" Jason retorted "Come on, nothing of that sort will happen, driving so slow is too boring Jason, or do you want me to drive instead?" Nadia winked"And have you wreck my precious expensive car? No thank you" Jason maintained and Nadia shook her head"You are so materialistic" Nadia puffed"Look who's talking, someone that changes her wardrobe every week!" Jason reminded"That was four years ago Jason, I don't do that anymore!" "What do you do now, change your wardrobe every week?" Jason's jeered"I'm not going to let you get under my skin this morning" Nadia decided"Fine, I'll increase the speed, only because you helped me out this morning in front of father" Jason said stepping on the acceleration pad......"Fuck the Mafia boss" Leonardo said l
Nadia felt really bad, it was obvious that Jason was hurting a lot and she was unable to do anything about it"Talk to me Jason? What hurts? Why is your heart aching?" Nadia asked"I'm in a one sided love Nadia, I'm in love with someone that has her eyes on someone else, I'm in love with someone that will never look at me with love, someone that will always see me as a friend and nothing more, it's an impossible love story Nadia, and it hurts, it hurts seeing the one you desire in love with someone else" Jason poured his heart out and Nadia could only watch his brother cry, she wanted to know who this lady was, the lady that commands his brother's heart and is making him so miserable"No Jason, enough of the tears, tell me who this lady is, tell me who is the lady that holds no regards for your feelings and I'll meet her right away!" Nadia voiced angrily and Jason cleaned his tears"No Nadia, it's not her fault, she knows not how I feel about her, she has no idea that I love her and I
On leaving the company, Lily had taken a cab straight to the address Leonardo had written for her, she didn't want to waste anymore time, after that kiss with Leonardo at the office, she doesn't want to stay apart from him much longer so she must find out who Francesca is and figure out why her name keeps interfering in her relationship with LeonardoAfter about an hour of driving, Lily paid the cab driver and proceeded to walk into the skyscraping hospital but as she was just about to walk into the revolving door, a lady bump into her and her purse fell to the ground......"Yes I do know Jason, he is a very good friend of mine, do you know him too?" Lily asked"I'm his sister, Nadia Armando" Nadia replied as she extended her hand for a handshakeLily was surprised but she shook Nadia's hand nevertheless"Wow, Jason did mention he has a sister but he said you were out of country" "Yeah, I came back only yesterday" Nadia replied with a smileNadia noticed Lily's phone was still on th
Chapter 46"What?! No, Francesca is his little sister" Doctor John blurted before he could stop himself"What?!""I've said more than I should have ever said, you really should leave Lily" Doctor John said standing up"Francesca is his little sister? But..... I don't understand, how? He doesn't have a sister, he is the heir of DiCaprio Mafia Empire, if he had a sister then the whole world would have known" "There is a reason that she's being kept hidden from the world Lily, but you won't be finding out that reason from me, I've already said enough, since you don't want to leave now then I'll leave first" Doctor John said, walking out and leaving Lily alone in his office"Are you guys done?" Nadia asked and seeing Doctor John come out of his office"Yeah we are done" Doctor John nodded"Is Lily not coming out?" Nadia asked looking at door"She will soon, come, we have a lot to catch up on, there's a coffee shop down the street, let's go have a cup of coffee, you have tell me everythin
"What about my sister Leonardo, what about Nadia?! Or is she just to be used as a pawn in your game?!!" Jason looked angry"My point exactly, do you plan on sacrificing Nadia's happiness for your whims? Are you so cruel Leonardo?!" John chided"Do you not understand?! There is no way we can win against the Mafia boss without someone getting hurt!" Leonardo voiced"And my sister has to be the one to get hurt? She has to be the collateral damage for your revenge plan to work?!" Jason queried and Leonardo sighedThey are right, he is being cruel to Nadia, but what is he to do? What can he do? Someone has to get hurt in the end right?"But there's a way Nadia won't get hurt" Leonardo got an idea "The only way Nadia will be heartbroken if she has no idea about this but if I tell her everything and plan this together with her, if I convince her to help me, then we can get married and immediately I take over the company, we'll get a divorce and everyone will go there separate ways""Nadia wi
Did he perhaps say something wrong? Or is all of these all too sudden for Nadia, Maybe she needs some time to take all of this inLeonardo sighed, he never wanted to put Nadia in such a difficult position but it seems all he has been doing lately is hurt everyone, Jason is hurt cause he likes Lily but Lily is in love with him, Lily is hurt too cause he is currently distancing himself from her and she just found out that Francesca is his little sister, she must have a lot of question regarding FrancescaLeonardo was restless, he knew Lily and he knew she must have a lot of unanswered question so he decided to pay her a visit, to answer her questions, to tell her about his marriage before she hears it from someone else and to tell her to wait for him, she should just have a little patient, he will destroy the Mafia Boss and come for her in the endLeonardo stood up and walked out of the eatery, he drove his car to Lily's apartment, he saw her door wide open and his heartbeat escalatedD
......"Lily Martini?" Nadia read out the name on the DME card "You have a DiCaprio Mafia Empire card, only those that work there have the card, do you work there?" Nadia asked as she handed the card to Lily"Yeah I do, I work as a digital designer though I'm currently suspended, do you work there too?" Lily asked......."Lily Martini?" Nadia repeated the name as she remembered a lady bearing the same name that she had encountered at the hospital John works at"Yes, so please Nadia, come to your senses and stop loving Leonardo please, I do not want you to get hurt in the end, that's why you must end your feelings for him now, if you cannot stand being separated from Leonardo after marriage then do not even get married to him because you will get hurt in the end, the Mafia boss said your marriage will be announced to the media tomorrow, reject the marriage proposal now Nadia before the marriage is announced on the media, fly out of the country and I'll take care of everything here, ever
Nadia had cried for the whole night and the next morning, she decided to pay a visit to the Mafia boss, he is on her side after allNadia drove to the Mafia Boss's Mansion and met her father already there, discussing with the Mafia boss"Good morning" She greeted both of them, bowing slightly"I remember clearly that you were still asleep in your bedroom when I left home, what brought you here?" Her father asked"I came to speak with the Mafia boss" Nadia reply"What do you want to speak to me about? Have a sit first" The Mafia Boss said, pointing at the sofa for Nadia to sit down and she obeyed"So, what did you want to say?""I came because of Leonardo, I am supposed get married to him soon but he doesn't love me Sir, he is in love with some other girl called Lily Martini who works at the company too" Nadia reported and the Mafia boss chuckled"Is it funny Sir? I just told you that your son loves someone else, someone else that isn't me and what you do is laugh?""Nadia!! When you s

Lily enquired"It's going amazingly well Lily, they love all the paint
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
