Azelia

I gazed at Jane, I already knew she care less about how I felt about her questions, she's a saucy young woman, and I had gotten used to her personality, I tried to force a smile but I couldn't, I decided to fake a smile and she knew well when one fake a smile, I also don't care.

"Yes Ma" with a stuttering voice, slightly bending my knees and standing upright again

"Go through the file, sort out the ones belonging to LJ boutique and pile the rest of it. Someone else would come pick it up on Monday morning, and we can't give any excuses. Do you understand what I mean to say?"

"Ye... ah, yes Ma" I heard myself stuttering, with her elegant beauty, I couldn't tell why Jane had no man in her life, perhaps her saucy personality couldn't get her a man of her own

"Azelia, do you hear me?" jerked me off my thoughts

"What did I say?"

"Yes, I have to sort the LJ file and arrange the others, someone else will come for it" repeated her statement

"Sure, I'll be in the store, you can si

    AzeliaJust like in the movie the lady in Red, I elegantly walked in through the hallway, I walked past another guest, dressed in my red velvet long ball gown, and handglove matching the colour of my gown, my heels sounded loudly in the hall, turning the crowd to my direction and I suddenly become a center of attention, my makeup looked bitchy, yes, I know that, the girl tonight just want to be someone different from me, seeing eyes glued to my body made me looked nervous, my eyes wandered, searching for nothing but I didn't want anyone to see my reaction, my legs felt heavy, finding it difficult to walk, but I steady my footstep, walking slowly like I don't care, but I do, I clench tightly to my purse, placing it under my arms, the laughter in the hall, made me feel unsettled, I didn't know if I was been mocked or complimented, perhaps no one cares about my presence, but they couldn't stop wondering who I was, it's my first time attending such an event.Tyler, a lady I met on one of

    AZELIÁ AZELIÁBad idea, a big bad idea.I knew working at a bar in London wasn't a really good idea, scratch that. It was a terrible idea and working at a bar in the East End made it worse. The brawling brutes isn't a place for the faint hearted, it welcomed some of the nastiest men in London. Mayfair would have been a better place but I had no choice. It was a fight or flight situation but in this case it was more like work or starvation.Back in Brazil, working at bars were a lot easier because I knew the locals and could probably file a complaint of sexual harassment if anyone tried anything funny, but London was different. I had no one here and couldn't possibly fine a complaint since I'm staying here quite illegally.My days were usually spent knocking from one door to another in search of a job, any job at all , Now my day consisted of counting how many gropes and pokes I get and how many men gets to whistle and call me names, I have men hoarding my ass all night and I can't say

    CILLIAN"Bloody hell" I say for the hundredth time tonight.My side hurts like hell, at this rate I might probably be dead before Ethan comes with backup. I've been in this bloody alley for more than 30 minutes and each minute, the bleeding gets worse. I knew I was going to die someday but dying like a bloody chicken in an alley wasn't what I envisioned. This night wasn't supposed to end like this.I fucking didn't see this coming, Bloody Ricci and his men laid an ambush on me after calling a truce, that's not how things are being done here. In the Mafia, our word is our bond, we live by a code but what does a man like Ricci Morenó know about codes and being an honourable man. Fucking slimy bastard.I feel like I was pushed down a thousand flights of stairs, could still taste blood in my mouth and for the uptenth time tonight I spit it out. Well if I'm going to die, I might as well get comfortable in this bloody place. I'm sure Ricci and his soldiers are already tearing the place apart

    CILLIANI wake up to the sound of something beeping, I wonder what it is. I had a lot to do today and why the hell is Ethan not here yet, he had a lot of explaining to do. I open my eyes to go about my duties and"Bloody hell"Catherine knows better than to leave the light in the room turned on, what in God's name is wrong with everyone. I shut my eyes for a while and open them again, slowly this time.I try to get out from the bed like I do every morning and I'm brought back by a sharp pain in my stomach, and that's when I remember everything, being ambushed by Ricci and his Soldiers and getting shot."Bloody Bastard" I hiss.I look around the room which looks like a hospital room, but isn't it's the Mafia's little clinic, with so many illegal activities we try to avoid hospitals a whole lot. Don't need anyone getting me irritated with questions.I move my hands blindly on the bedside shelf in search of my phone so I can call Ethan but the devil walks right in." See you're up, you ga

    CILLIANThe drive from Knightsbridge to the East End with a wound on the stomach was one hell of a task, I hope this better be worth it but then again I know Ethan wouldn't call me up if It wasn't something important.I had to rest for a minute in the car, but to any of the soldiers outside it probably looked like I was deep in thoughts. Showing any bit of pain or emotions made us weak and that's how it has been even before my existence.The soldiers passing by bow their heads in Greeting and I reply with a nod of my head, Ethan walks out of the warehouse and opens the car door for me to step out."This better be bloody serious, Ethan" I say through my teeth."It is, we found a mole" and then silence.I look in his direction, right into his eyes. He knows better than giving half information."It's Bernado". Bernardo is a little boy I saved a few years back while he was being beaten to half inch of his life for stealing. He's not quite little anymore and has been more than useful to the

    AZELIÁDamn!I know, I know what you're thinking but I'm not stupid and no, I haven't lost my mind either. But damn seemed to be the only word that came to my mind at that Moment.Cillian. Damn Cillian.How someone so beautiful could be so cruel and evil was beyond reason."Who turned on the switch?" He barked, anger, so much anger evident on his face. He turned to look at the soldiers stationed at the door but they both looked down, from shame I presume."I did" I said, pointing a finger at myself after a while, scared someone else might get hurt for what I'd done."I told Miss Catherine to help with the lights, I was going to turn it off but then".. I lifted my tied hands, trying so much to justify the lights being on.He moved so fast I didn't notice him until he was right in front of me, holding onto my chin with so much pressure."You do nothing until you're asked to do so, you don't eat, move an inch from where you're sitted, you don't even fucking breathe if I don't permit it,

    CillianThe memories I had with Bernando clouded my mind, I couldn't stop feeling bad for him, I looked at his bloody corpse on the cold white tile and felt pained that he had to die in my hands, but he caused his death, and his blood his on his hand, the mafia code can't be reverse because of one man, what would my men think of me if I let him live, what's the assurance he wouldn't come back to hunt me, blood ooze out his forehead, I hardened my emotions not to betray me, he needed money for Gwen surgery he should have told me about it, I would have let him have it in exchange for his hard work and loyalty, that I would do for my men, I watch his corpse laying helplessly on floor, Ethan ripped me with his eyes trying to read my emotions about Bernardo's death for he knows how dearly he was to me, I sat motionless on the wooden chair, my eyes tilt towards the Latina girl sitting on the tiny foam on the floor hugging her legs, looking on drench in Bernardo's blood. "Boss, what's next?

    Cillian "Open the gate" It was clear the men I saw guarding the gate had been changed, the previous men were done with their shift for the day, and my eyes settled on the one of my men dressed in a corporate black suit and shoes matching the colour of his outfit, he seems bold and too young, I slowly looked in from head to toes, he didn't move knowing I have my eyes on him"What's your name?" he slowly turned his head gazing body at him, perhaps realizing I was referring to him "Pablo, Boss" he yelled out like a solider he is "How old are you?" "Those my age have anything to do with my strength and power? He seems bold speaking back to me, I felt angry slapping him hard on his face, and he stood still like a log of wood, this aroused my anger, maybe I was looking for bait to let out my anger and frustration on, and he carelessly falls into my ditch, he went down on his knees, he felt afraid now seeing how dreadful I could be whenever I was pissed off, I'll deal with Ethan when I h

    Cillian Time flew how she had been out of my sight for years, but that didn't stop me from watching over her from a distance away, staying hidden and getting away from trouble, Ethan had a questionable gaze in his eyes watching me smile with no one beside me, part of me wants to see her over and over again, Ethan cell phone rings, it jerked me off my thought, l shut my eyes and didn't bother to listen to his conversation with whoever had called me "Cillian, The automobile has arrived at the seaport but there's a problem" "Is it something you can't handle?" I slowly opened my eyes to see Ethan clenched tightly to the steering wheel "No, but the substance has been removed from where it was hidden and Mario De Valley, asked for his money or a refund, Information from a credible source" "Who?" "Pablo, saw his men taking the drugs from the bonnet and different places it was hidden last night after it was checked and confirmed the substance was there, Mario from Mexico wants the money

    Azelia The driver sped off, I looked dumbfounded at my ruined white blouse, just as I had thought I was being looked at and pitied by a passerby, I quickly took out my cell phone from my bag in mind to call my colleague's work, wanting to let her tell the Laura I'll be late for work, he driver reserved the car, and parked in from of me "Hello" I heard Cindy's voice loudly on the other side of the cell phone, she had already picked up before I could hang up like she knew I'd call her "Hello, Azelia, are you there?" she seems concerned about my muted voice "You" "You, did you do this on purpose?" we said almost at once, he didn't look surprised to see me and I didn't care, after all these years, he stood in front of me as I owed him an unpaid debt "You ruined my blouse and you stood there saying nothing, is that how mannerless you are" My voice attracted onlookers, he stood placing his both hands on his black tuxedo, with his neatly black trimmed hair, carelessness arranged, b

    AzeliaCars drive in a row, waiting to be checked, Joseph focuses on attention on the police officers at the checkpoint, he brings out his cell phone, and sends a message, he doesn't seem bothered about it, he doesn't even know what I'm capable of doing in the outside world, he has no thought I might be a criminal in a run, I sat still praying in whatever God that could come to my aide, I could be jail because I have no legal document, just like I had said earlier on, I suddenly felt happy we weren't stopped like others, perhaps luck was on my side, I thought to myself, I gazed behind and the search continue. I sigh, taking in deep breathe Fifteen minutes later We arrived in the city, Joseph looked at me and I could see the questionable stare in his eyes but he said nothing to me"Where can I drop you?" he asked me"16th Avenue, it isn't far from here, do you know how to get there?" he looked at me, his face seemed blank with no emotions to show "I can use a Google map" "Alright

    CillianHer teary eyes flashed back in my memories, she looked timid and seemed to have lost weight in a few days, I sat down on the black couch in my ward and thought about the decision I had made to let her go, Ethan barged in without caution and I could tell how furious he was, I held the shisha pipe in my right hands inhaling the strawberry flavour in the smoke, I didn't need to be told he had the mind to walked in on me like that"Do you need anything?"Ethan stood behind me, pacing on both sides of my ward and I could sense the frustration in his movement, but kept my cool because I'm a man with few words and he knows too much about it"Where's the girl?" He angrily asked me, I kept quiet and didn't want to get involved in his madness"With whom did you order her release? Ethan demanded to know " Should I seek your permission before I do whatever I want to do? "I asked him calmly, my stare would make him think I didn't value his opinion about how things are run in the mafia t

    AzeliaThe drop of dew felt cold in my closed eyes, and I suddenly felt cold, goosebumps gripped my arms, making me sneeze, trying to catch my breath almost immediately, my body seemed sticky and itchy, I quickly pulled off the blindfold in my eyes, searching through where I had lay, the sky blue medical gown was stained in the black sticky sand like clay, my heart beat fast in my chest making me raise on my feet, surrounded by wet flowers with thorn, and green leaves with mix grass on the ground, the early morning cold made me shiver, not knowing where I was.Footstep approached me with flashes of light in my direction, making me scared, my hands tremble and I felt lost confusion took the whole of me, being in a strange land with a diversity of tongues and tribes which could be mainly dominated by the British people, the property belongs to a native of the country or the government and I could be charged for invading of property and it could be difficult for me to get out of it"Who'

    AzeliaThe confusion of being in the middle of two routes got me standing still, I didn't know which route to walk in, which seemed quiet, like the passway hadn't been used in a decade, looking at the ground with no footprint I more confused, surrounded by tall trees and foggy dark clouds it'll rain soon.Everywhere appeared to be a forgotten town with nothing breathing on it, but I didn't know how I got here either, I remember working in the bar with my male customers flirting with me even when I tried to ignore them, what the hell was I doing in such a place, I suddenly heard my name out of nowhere, trying to figure out where it was coming from, he walked toward me and seems to know who I was, dressed in a black suit, he hurriedly approaches me like he was my saviour"Azelia""Azelia""Azelia"Different voices called my name, and it echoed loud in my ears, I crouched down holding tightly to my ears"Azelia, this way or you'll get stuck for eternity, I believe you don't want that" I
