"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
“What?!! How can you give Leonardo such an option Sir, he is definitely going to choose his sister, this is unfair to Lilly!” Jason complainedAlberto moved closer to his son and landed a stinging slap on his face “Know your place Jason! You should never speak to the Mafia boss like that!” But unlike Jason predicted, Leonardo was conflicted, his father was making him choose between the only two ladies that ever mattered to him, he was making him choose between his family and his love and that is the last thing he wants to do right now “Make your choice Leonardo, you have few seconds left” the Mafia Boss reminded “Do not make me do this Father, do not make me do something that will make me live my whole life in regret please” Leonardo pleaded “Make your choice or lose both of them Leonardo, you have five seconds left” Antonio reminded "Stop father, tell him to stop, Alberto tell him to stop please!” Leonardo pleaded as he ran to Alberto for help “You heard your father Leonardo,
The Mafia boss ran into his room locking the door behind him, he went to his closet where different varieties of guns were hanged, bringing out a riffle and a shotgun from his closetThe gunshots were getting closer and closer to his room and Antonio knew that his son was killing all of his men and he was coming for himHe immediately proceed to his wardrobe and wore a bullet proof vest beneath his clothes then he waited, ready with his guns, waiting for his prodigal son to come so he could teach him some lessonsSoon enough, his door flung open and just like he expected, Leonardo was at the door, holding too long rifles and his face covered with blood, the blood of his men that he killed just to get to him"You killed all my men" Antonio said"They were barely a challenge" Leonardo replied as he pointed his gun at his father"And killing you won't be a challenge too""Killing me?" Antonio laughed "Many have tried and failed Leonardo, If I was so easy to kill then I'll have been long
Chapter 59 Lily had been very scared when Francesca leaped off the building"Francesca!!!!" She had screamed her lungs out but before she knew what was going on, an ambulance was called and Jason had ran to the rooftop rescuing her from the gangsters and escaping with herJason had taken her to the house Leonardo brought her to when she was shot, but after Jason left assuring her he will be back soon with Leonardo, Doctor John came knocking at the door, he said Leonardo had instructed him to move her to yet another safehouse as the current hideout wasn't safe anymore so Lily obligedJohn took her far away from the city, driving into the woods to a house practically in the middle of nowhere "Where is this place?" Lily asked as they stood in front of a small house that looks more like a cabin in the centre of the woods "It's a safehouse for you" John said as we walked in"What about Leonardo? Where is he? Is he going to meet us here? Do you know how Francesca is doing? I know she was
"..... but I am Leonardo DiCaprio, a Mafian heir and I am not allowed the privilege of showing any weakness, ever""You might be heir to the biggest and most feared Mafia Empire in the country but before all that you are a human Leonardo, you are entitled to your own feelings, you have the right to feel sad and be weak, it is what makes us all a human being and you are a human being not a god so it's time you unlearn all the etiquette your father taught you cause they are all unreal, learn to not shove your emotions aside because you feel they make you weak, learn to stand up for yourself and own up whatever it is you feel, that is actually what makes you powerful and not the number of men you are able to kill in a gang fight" jLily advised and Leonardo listened quietly as he gazed at her"You are staring at me, why? Did I say something wrong or have I gone too far by saying too much?" Lily asked and Leonardo shook his head"No, no Lily, you didn't say anything wrong, your words are
"Is that..... Francesca?" Lily asked and Leonardo moved closer to Francesca's bed, touching her face tenderly and kissing her pale hands"How is she doing?" Leonardo asked"She is still alive but barely and that is actually a miracle considering she jumped off a seven floored building, hitting her head on the ground did a lot of damages to it, the hospital had operated her, stitching up whatever there is to stitch but she is currently in a coma, we do not know when she will wake and we have to keep a close watch on her at all times to make sure there are no complications, and considering we actually gave her an injection to momentarily stop her heartbeat, fooling the doctors at the city hospital, we are actually very lucky that she is still breathing" John said***Flashback***Francesca was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance with LeonardoLeonardo stepped out of the van and the nurses wheeled Francesca into the emergency operating roomLeonardo paced around the hallway, he was dev
John went out of the hospital to get the supplies he needed, just like they had planned John returned to the hospital with a van and proceeded to Francesca's hospital room "I am going to ask you one more time Leonardo, are you sure you want to do this?" John asked "Just do it John" Leonardo replied "Let me also remind you that I might not be able to bring her back after we stop her heart" John reminded "Do it" Leonardo confirmed and John nodded He gave Francesca the injection and moments later, the ER machine began to beep loudly and continuously "How well do you know how to act Leonardo?" John asked "I always tell you John, there are few things I do not know how to do perfectly and acting is not one of them" Leonardo said Leonardo immediately ran out of the hospital room calling out for the doctor whom he also met running towards Francesca's room with a few nurses accompanying him "Her machine suddenly started beeping doctor, I don't know what's wrong with her" Leonardo said
The Mafia Boss sat in Alberto's living room as Alberto stood in front of him The Mafia boss laughed loudly and shook his head "Isn't it funny Alberto, my own son killed many of my men, shot at me and made me escape from my own house, I really might have been dead or severely injured from his shot if not for my bulletproof vest, how funny is that?" The Mafia boss asked as he snickered "We will get him Sir, I promise" Alberto uttered "We will get him? But how when you are not even able carry out the simple task of finding the only person that I can control him with, you are still unable to find Lily Martini!!!" the Mafia boss yelled "I am sorry Sir, I found Leonardo's house that he had hidden from everyone but Lily wasn't there" Alberto explained "Excuses, excuses, excuses, I hate excuses!!!" The Mafia boss yelled as he pointed his gun at Alberto "I am sorry Sir" Alberto apologized "Maybe I should just blow out your brains right now since you are suddenly of no use to me" the Ma
......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
