While Amelia had watched all that transpired between Danciana and the guards she employed, she waited until they exited the vicinity before she stood up from her hiding place and tiptoed out of the room. She checked the hook and cranny, all she could to make sure that she didn't see anyone before she also stepped out of the building.She looked so rough and unkempt. People detested her because of the way she looked. She was damn hungry and scared to meet anyone. Since she knew not where she was or where she was going, she entered the street instead of walking along the highway. She knocked at a door which she saw a lady enter for a few seconds. The one that came out to attend to her could only speak Italian, while she can only speak English. She had no choice but to leave the person and continue her journey. At a spot, she paused to rest beside a waste bin, since she was weak and hungry. Just a few seconds later, she saw a young man who was drinking from a beverage container. As the m
Lorenzo and his entourage majestically drove into madam Rawn's compound. The guards did welcome them, but they met the absence of both Rawn and her daughter, Danciana. Lorenzo reached out to his father, Lurd Piero via phone call and announced their absence to him. Then Piero directed them where to meet with Madam Rawn. They drove out of their compound and went to the destination as they'd been directed by Peiro. Unknown to them, Bryan had been following up with them since Damon planted him and Tyler to investigate more about Danciana. Bryan followed them until he saw them driving into another apartment in an estate. Since he wanted no one to see him, he hid by the corner to ascertain whether madam Rawn or her daughter was there. To his surprise, the gate was computerized, as they rang the doorbell, in a jiffy, the gate slide opened by itself and Lorenzo and his entourage got in. He later left them there and went back home.“Hi, Mr. Lorenzo, you're welcome to my abode.”Danciana whispe
“Hmm! Thank you, Derby!”Amelia whispered as she dropped the glass cup she had in her hand. Empty plates and remains of fruits could be seen on the table. While Amelia and Derby, we're sitting on chairs at both ends of the table. She was already putting on another dress which was likely to be that of Derby since they were a bit bigger than her.“You're welcome, Amelia. So, where did they take you to? How did they treat you and how did you finally arrive at my place?”Derby asked, trying to smile, but the look on Amelia's face couldn't just permit her to.“I'm not talking about that now. I'm only pleading that you will help me get back to Michigan without telling Damon. I've been in hell since I came to Italy. What I called hell in Damon's place was like paradise to what I experienced in those few days.” She pleaded, poking her nose continuously to stop herself from crying.“How do you think it will be possible? You can stay here until things get resolved. But taking you back to Michig
The dappled sun shone through the trees, creating mysterious shadows, the blue sky was dotted with fluffy white clouds that drifted lazily in the gentle breeze, the blazing midday sun shone relentlessly on the hikers, and the roads shimmered in the heat of the midday sun, and the sunlit skyscrapers pierced the hot, blue sky.The afternoon sun bathed the buildings in its warm light; specks of dust seemed to dance in the shaft of afternoon sunlight that slanted through the café windows.I stood dressed in black leather trousers paired with a crop top, an apron tied around my waist as I carried trays of food to different customers, the Café was a fancy one, designed for both the classy and poor, I served food of different kinds, our best food was the Italian kind as the owner was from Italy, the walls were painted golden giving it an amazing palace flare, the different menu was hanged on different pillars, freshly plucked roses on each table, and a soft blues playing in the background.
“What!” Matt yelled abruptly standing up from the booth his face filled with anger and shock, it was already sunset and the customers were reducing as it was almost closing time, he was still engrossed in his call as he walked out of the café door when Katie approached.“It seems like work has called his attention again,” she said referring to the call.“Yeah probably,” I said with a soft smile as I looked out the window.“Well you should lock up and head home it’s almost seven you don’t want to walk home alone in the streets of Michigan,” She said cleaning her hands on her dress with her handbag hung loosely on her back, she left me all alone in the café with a few customers.I craned my neck again outside the window to see Matt heading back with a grim look on his face, I quickly rushed to him.“What’s wrong?” I asked a tight smile on my lips.“Well...uh... one of my work partners, he is close to me, he was attacked on the road and all the goods we were to take to the airport today
I ran as fast as my legs could carry me not daring to look back in fear of what I might see, I ran, I ran back to the streets following the main road to my house, it was a bad idea following the alleyway, it was even more of a stupid Idea to listen to my irrational side, I ran back hope on reaching my street I slowed down taking in gulps of air, I gasped loudly holding my stomach trying to get as much air as possible into my lungs.I finally turned around to see that no one was chasing or following me, come to think of it I never heard thumps or gunshot when I ran, no one followed me or ran after me, there was no car tires screeching or horns, no blinding lights from car head, they never followed me.But I had always read that the mafia lord would chase her and take her as his, but it was a very different thing in my situation, come to think of it I did the same stupid thing I cursed the female lead in the books always do, I let curiosity get the better of me.For some reason, the fic
I woke up in fright my heart pounding hard in my chest.What was that dream about? I questioned myself as I wiped off the beads of sweat from my face, I was startled deeply by the abrupt bang on my door.“Amelia dear are you okay?” my grandma asked her voice filled with worry.“Yes Grandma I’m okay just a dream,” I said convincing myself and her.“Okay come downstairs quick we have visitors,” she said excitedly and I felt my heart drop into my stomach, I was just being paranoid it might just be the neighbors next door.I quickly put on my bra and brushed my teeth, washing my face I tie my hair into a messy bun, clipping it with a hair clip, I put on my slippers and rush downstairs.“Grandma!?” I called as I rushed downstairs only to stop at the last step fear gripping me; sitting on the couch was the mafia King and his men talking to my grandma.“Oh Amelia come here," she said gesturing with her arms for me to come over.I walked meekly to her side avoiding eye contact with the Mafia
"I have a few rules I would like for you to know before we get to Italy," The Mafia King said in a gruff voice.I still don't acknowledge or look at him, I didn't want to see his face for the only thing I felt was to strangle him, which I knew wouldn't be possible."And the first and most important rule is that you are to look at me when I am talking to you," he says in a cold tone, all I did was scoff in response still staring at the window."Mia!?" He called out in anger."Amelia it is sir, only the ones dear to me get to call Mia so stick with Amelia," I said glaring at him before turning back to 5he window."Do you know who you talking to in such a manner and tone?" He questions his voice rising in anger, I snorted rolling my eyes."Amelia?!!" He shouted and gripped the back of my neck harshly turning it to look at him, once he had me facing him, his hand went to my neck as he choked me."You better behave yourself or I would be sending your corpse to your dear grandma" He seethed

"Where is she?”Danciana screamed.“I…we… went into…”“Don't move an inch further!”Danciana stopped him since he was stammering and raising his leg to go closer to Danciana.“Sorry! I sent this, my fellow, to deliver her meal this morning.”He said, pointing to one of them. “But he later told me that he didn't do so. Later, we went there after you must've called me, but we couldn't find her”On hearing his narrative, Danciana shot the person he pointed on the forehead. Just as she shot her, the remaining two guys pulled out their guns reflexively and pointed them at Danciana.“What do you think you're doing?”One of the guys questioned Danciana angrily.“We're here for business. We agreed on a deal, and you already bridged it after being paid!”Diana spoke with full confidence.“Shit!”The second guy who was pointing his gun at Danciana screamed as he noticed a laser light pointing at his chest. He also realized that the light wasn't only on his chest, but also on his accomplice's f
Bryan got into the room and led a guard as they searched the entire building. But they couldn't find Amelia. They were a bit confused about where to check next, but had limited time to search. They questioned and threatened the guards and Madam Rawn, but they were unable to provide any reliable information about Amelia's way about. Before they left the compound, Tyler threatened that they would report back if they didn't provide Amelia.It took Madam Rawn Lorenzo several minutes to recover while Tyler and Bryan left the compound. She was mute for some while, thinking about how they managed to enter the compound peacefully and took all the guards unaware and did all they did. She began to shout for her guards, stammering just to send her message, as we were already bothered. Lately, she heard that the explosion at their gate killed the guard that stays there. The information sent cold blood down her spine. Tyler's operation in madam Rawn's place proved to her that she was just bluffing
“Tyler, we're going!”Damon muttered to Tyler, Bryan, and another guy who joined the crew.“Sir, I suggest you stay back and watch us do our work. We can't stake you for anything or human”Tyler proposed, looking all innocent and serious.“Never mind, I'm still young to play my cards…”Damon insisted.“No sir! You are our boss. And we will work for our boss. No need for you to join the crew. Sit back and monitor your home, we will carry out the task.”Bryan refuted his suggestion.“Guys! I know what I'm talking about. I know the route more than you do! And…”“With all due respect, sir, we want to do the work. Sit back and watch your guards play their part”Tyler asserted, forcing Damon to chuckle while having a bad mood.“Then, you proceed! Be wise and don't hesitate to call me when things go sour. I'm still Damon and I own my territory! Here is the map of their building”.He brought out a map from his pocket and handed it over to Tyler.“Sure, we know!”Tyler responded while collect
“You all still remember that I employed you?”Damon asked as he saw his guards trooping onto the room in groups.No one gave him a response. He stretched his hand and picked up his loaded gun. Then Bryan and Tyler, we're at the door side. The room was already intensified since his employees were trembling in fear.“So you've become so useless that you can't guard only one person in my absence? I've observed that I have only two guards and a secretary, others are just collecting salary for nothing?”“Sir, she said that she was doing everything based on your instructions. We only had to obey her instructions since she said you sent her”Damon couldn't wait for the young man to finish his explanation before he landed a thunderous slap on his face.“Bitch! What then was the closed-circuit camera doing in the security room? Didn't you see how she struggled with them before they took her? Did I also instruct them to slap Debby?”Damon roared, bringing the veins on his face to view. He was a
Amelia already accepted her fate that she must suffer. But one thing that always encouraged her was that since she survived the emotional torture and trauma that she passed through when she first got to Italy, she's going to survive her current predicament. Already she'd spent more than 48 hours and no one talked about how she'll freshen up. She still wore the same cloth she was putting on when she was abducted. Even Danciana that commandeered her from Damon's hand, as a lady, never cared to know whether she bathed or not. They only provide her with snacks and food at times, without taking out from the room whichever thing they used to convey the food to her. She looked around the room where she was entrapped, only to see how filthy everywhere looked. She could see insects feasting on first around her. Furthermore, she couldn't help but gather them in a corner, far from where she used to sit. Since everywhere was locked up, she couldn't even see the light of day. There was no way she
Damon and his crew, Tyler and Bryan, could be seen as they were touring in an unoccupied mansion. In each room they enter, they turn on the light switch and also check the water supply in the bathroom. They walked into a wide apartment decorated with flowers and wallpaper. At the end was a wide, executive-sized jacuzzi.“Wow! This is quite elegant.”Damon whispered on spotting the Jacuzzi. They walked closer to observe the jacuzzi. A few steps away from the jacuzzi was a shelf that was newly stocked with drinks.“Seems I will be taking care of this place”Bryan muttered jokingly, forcing Tyler to laugh.“If not the distance, this is supposed to be your residential area”Tyler mumbled, talking to Damon.“Yeah! The building plan is outstanding. But just as you said, distance is the barrier!”Damon replied as he exited through the next door.“Well! We are heading back to Italy tonight. No one knows what Danciana has done to Amelia. But you should have it in mind that it's not gonna be fu
