......"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
The Mafia Boss had given Leonardo 24 hours to clear out his head and when he returns back him, he is to return as Leonardo DiCaprio, the ruthless Mafia heir to DiCaprio Mafia Empire who will do just about anything to keep his little sister safeThere was no better way for Leonardo to clear his head than reviving an old habit he thought he had abandoned, boxing in a handicapped matchLeonardo stared at himself in the mirror, there are some bruises in his face but he cared not, allowing himself to be beaten up cleared his head, his only concern right now is Francesca's safety and nothing else matters apart from that.....Nadia finally gathered the courage and knocked on the Mafia Boss's door"Please let me in Sir, I have sinned against you and I must apologize" Nadia pleaded but there was no response from the Mafia boss"I understand that you must be very disappointed in me but give me another chance, give me a second chance to prove myself to you, please" Nadia pleaded as she went on
Nadia stepped out of the car and the gangsters pointing guns at Lily opened the car door dragging her out of the car"What are you doing?! Let me go!!!" Lily screamed as the gangsters dragged her"Why..... why are you doing this to me Nadia, I thought we were friends Nadia!""So did I Lily, until I found out that you were throwing your slutty self at my fiance!!" Nadia yelled and looked at the gangsters"Take her to meet the Mafia boss!" she commandedNadia had promised the Mafia boss that she will deliver Lily to him before nightfall and she has done just that, the Mafia boss wanted Lily, he could've easily sent his men to abduct her but the Mafia boss chose her instead, because she needed to prove herself to him and she has done just thatIt actually turned out easier than she expected, she knew Lily Martini but she had no idea where she lived nor did she have her contact, but she knew that she's an employee of the Empire so she went to the company and got what she needed........Fl
The Mafia boss cocked his gun at Lily and she trembled Is he really going to kill her? He doesn't look like he is joking "Please...... don't..... please, I'll...... I'll do....any...... anything" Lily stuttered as her lips trembled Antonio gave Lily a puzzled look "You get so scared easily, you are not brave, you are not smart, you do not have any attribute of a Mafia so why exactly is my son attracted to you? Why?!!" Antonio yelled "I......I don't know, he.....he doesn't even want.....want to see me anymore, he..... fired me Sir, he doesn't......he doesn't like me anymore, so please don't...... don't kill me" Lily pleaded as tears rolled down her face "Maybe killing you right now is going to be too boring, I do have a flair for the dramatic after all" Antonio said as he handed the gun back to his men and Lily heaved a sigh He is not going to kill her anymore, he is going to let her go "Take her to the hideout and lock her up" Antonio commanded and Lily's heart fell, what was sh
Chapter 54"Francesca?! Are you Leonardo's sister?" Lily asked and Francesca nodded"What?!!" Lily was taken aback, this lady is Francesca? The one she has been going all out just to get some information on her, the one whose name keeps popping from Leonardo's mouth"Did the Mafia boss also keep you captive?" Lily asked and Francesca noddedWhat?! How could that man be so cruel to do this to someone that is supposed to be his daughter?! Or is Francesca not his daughter? Is that why he doesn't care a tad about her?"Is the Mafia boss your father?" Lily asked and France stared to the floor, not giving an answer to Lily's questionFrancesca looked very scared, Lily tried to give her a reassuring pat on the back but Francesca moved away"Seems like you don't like talking much to people" Lily concluded as she conceded and gave Francesca some space....Nadia woke up with a banging headache, she had drank a lot last night, the interview was supper successful and the whole world knows that s
"Is that Lily's phone ringing in your car?" Leonardo asked surprisedJason quickly opened the car door and took the ringing phone from the front seat"This is Lily's phone" Jason confirmed"And what hell is her phone doing in your car?" Leonardo asked"This.....this is not my car Leonardo, this car is Nadia's" Jason revealed"Nadia's?""I don't understand, Nadia has never met Lily, so how is her phone in Nadia's car?!" Jason asked as he brought out his phone"What are you doing?" Leonardo asked"Calling Nadia to find out why Lily's phone is in her car" Jason uttered"No, do not call her" Leonardo said"Why shouldn't I? Lily has been out of touch since yesterday and if this is really Lily's phone in Nadia's car then the odds are that she might know something about her disappearance and I must find out from her where Lily is!""Exactly, we have to find out because I ain't about to lose Lily again, she got hurt before because of me and I won't let that happen again, if Nadia knows about
"Nadia is a grown up lady and she knows what is best for herself, I had a talk with her yesterday, if she isn't okay with this marriage, she would've easily told me" Antonio said "I know but I'm just concerned that....""Enough Jason" Antonio curtly said as he stood up"I believe that I have attended to your concerns enough, if you want to see Leonardo then I believe he's still in his room but if not then you may take your leave, you do have some works to do at the company right?" Antonio asked"Yes, I'll umm..... I'll meet Leonardo in his room and we'll go to the company together" Jason said"Good, go ahead then, I have to meet up with your father, we have a meeting to attend" The Mafia boss said and he walked out.....The continuous silence in the dark room made Lily more anxiousWhat is the Mafia boss going to do with her? Lily glanced at Francesca, she has tried talking to her again but she won't say a word to her, she's just there, crouched at a dark corner and looking horrifi
......4 months later......At an art exhibition, the audience strides around looking and admiring the art piecesTheir was a particular piece that seemed to attract every audience that walked past it and they all came back to stare at it more and appreciate the beauty of the art It was a painting of the face of an exquisitely handsome man surrounded by lilly flowers and the audience all commended it"This art piece is beautiful, I'd buy it for any amount in the world, this is just too pretty" An audience marveled"And I heard this is a collaboration art, it was painted by two different artists" "Yeah, the names of the artist are written here, Lily Martini and Francesca DiCaprio""They must be really good for them to have being able to paint something this good and beautiful"Anna ran across the exhibition room to meet Lily in an office down the hallLily was seated beside a desk"How's the exhibition going Anna?" 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
