Chapter 75 - Getting The Bag.BRUNO JOE'S POV,With the security personnel falling under the silent shots of my suppressor, the gate's security was compromised, leaving the entrance vulnerable and penetrable."Be on my track!" I motioned to the four guys behind me, as I led them in,With their backs hunched, and their guns at the ready, we took quick short steps, as we hurried towards the entrance of the bank.With one final gesture from me, the glass at the entrance was shattered, the camera was blown out and every security personnels at sight were neutralized. Since it was midnight, the bank was deserted, devoid of any civilian and customers, making it easier for us to gain access."Team B - On the move." A modulated voice crackled in my ear, making my heart to skip a beat. Although the voice was scrambled, I needed no one to tell me who had just spoken.It was the first time we had ever gone on a mission separately, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had crept int
Chapter 76 - Untrustworthy.BRUNO JOE'S POV,"Why are you so angry Bruno?" Don Pablo finally asked, his smile still plastered on his face, his chin creased in wrinkles, his voice soft and unnervingly calm.His calmness was a direct contrast to my ruffled compusure, yet, he seemed to be oblivious to the cause of my outburst, or the reason I was so dissatisfied with him.As I tried to calm myself to unearth his true intention, his voice came again, "I think there's some misunderstanding between us. How about you explain to me so I can know your grievances?" His expression revealing nothing as he spoke gently to me.I clenched my fists, my jaw tightening as I tried to keep my raging fury at bay, "I'm talking about you saying one thing and doing another Don," I thundered, my voice rumbling like storm, my anger over Malcolm's state boiling over, making it impossible to keep my cool.Don Pablo's face had a subtle change, his brows drew together in a small crest, his lips tightly compressed
Chapter 77 - Subjecting Bruno.DON PABLO'S POV,My chin twitched with a simmering anger as I watched Bruno strode purposefully out of the hall. Every step from him a glaring message of his determination to pursue his course.My smile disappeared, and my jaw clenched, as his figure disappeared from my sight. Right then, it became crystal clear to me that Bruno wasn't the same person I had known.Although, he had stood his ground right from the first day he stepped into my mansion, I never gave up on hope. I had hoped he'd gradually slip away from his conviction, and dive towards dedication and obedience like I had always remembered. I had thought he'd come around, reverting to the old Bruno, once he had acclimated to the surroundings again. Sadly, with every passing second, he seemed to drift farther and farther away from me, becoming a piercing pain in my very heart,Everytime he stood up against me, especially in the presence of my boys, my heart ached, and a great sense of disappoi
Chapter 78 - Taming Lisa.DON PABLO'S POV,I was still engrossed in my thoughts, dwelling in the satisfaction of my thoughts, when a familiar figure walked into the hall, her steps long and urgent, making my smile to gradually disappear.Although my smile was still plastered on my face, deep within me, I had lost my initial excitement, the sight of Lisa was a fresh reminder of Bruno's unruly attitude. I was certain Bruno wouldn't have been so indifferent if not for Lisa,"Don!" She greeted, her voice dripping in a sudden urgency, making my brows to twitch. From the expression on her face, I could detect her simmering anger, I could tell something was wrong, but I tried to put a peg around my anger, and inquired as calmly as I could."Welcome back Monalisa." I said, my gentle voice betraying nothing as I stared at her, "how did it go?" I questioned, my gaze lingering on her.At that moment, Pascal walked in, looking exhausted, with an obvious frown in his face."I'm sorry Boss, but it
Chapter 79 - Conflicted Emotions.MONALISA PARKER'S POV,With everything in me, I strode out. My steps heavy with determination as they propelled me away from Don Pablo's presence, even out of his mansion.My fist clenched tightly as his words resounded in my ears."Begining to think like a woman! A woman!! Woman!!!" His words kept replaying in my head, making me grit my teeth in a shimmering fury,As I strode on towards my apartment, my mind a den of chaotic thought. I found a consolation, 'i've always been a woman,' I muttered to myself, but even as I did that, I still couldn't shake off the uneasiness that tugged unto my heart. I found myself begining to wonder if it was true.'Not true,' I blurted out, even as I marched like a soldier having his eyes fixed on the enemy. I decided not to think about it, or dwell on Don Pablo's assumptions.As I dew closer to my apartment, I began to think about the mission. No matter how hard I thought about it, I knew I had put a lot of effort. Th
Chapter 80 - Heart To Heart.MONALISA PARKER'S POV,Every one of his words gradually melting away the barricade I had built in my heart, and hitting on every defense I had raised up, before coming back to the apartment, but right then just like a flash, the thought of Antonio struck my heart again, and a great sense of worry crept back into my heart, dwindling the initial comfort I had felt, until it disappeared into space.At that moment, my reasoning was battling with my emotions. While his words had touched my heart, I also knew he shouldn't stay, or rather, I shouldn't allow him to stay any longer to prevent the both of them from bumping into each other.I jolted out of my emotional tumoil, and drew in a quick breath as I steeled myself towards my resolve, but then, I also knew I shouldn't sound too hasty to prevent arousing his suspicion."Okay," I responded, shoving aside my emotions as I adopted a stern and indifferent voice, "you didn't have to bother yourself," I added as cal

Don Pablo beamed with pride as he gestured towards us, his face - a mask of smile as he spoke exuberantly,The hall was dead silent as Don's voice echoed off the walls.

Chapter 82 - Protecting Lisa.BRUNO JOE'S POV,My head snapped back to him, and my eyes flew open with anger upon hearing his words. The last thing I was going to accept was someone talking down or speaking wrongly about my persons."What do you mean by that huh?" I questioned with gritted teeth, my lips vibrating in a simmering anger, "why don't you repeat what you just said?" My voice came again, low and dangerous even as my eyes shone with fury.Even though a lot of things had changed, and a lot of years had passed, I still believed I knew Lisa. I've been with her for a while now and even though she talked tough, she was still the soft lady I had always known. Deep within me, I was certain that I know her,Pascal seemed to be enjoying himself, as he let out another laughter, adding flame to my burning fury, making me clench my fists, and just when his laughter boiled down, Don Pablo's voice rang out with obvious anger,"Enough!"

As I ascended the stairs, Isabella burst out from her room,"Mother, Raymond wouldn't let me get ready," she said, her words urgent as she stared at me,"What's wrong with him?" I asked, confused about what she meant by that,"He's been playing with my shoes and refused to let me have them," She answered, while I chuckled lightly,"Okay, let's go," I said gesturing with my hands, as I followed her to her room. As soon as I got into her room, I saw Raymond seated on her bed holding onto Isabella's shoe,"Raymond," I called him playfully, while he chuckled loudly,I went over to the bed and carried him, throwing him up in a playful manner, while he chuckled,"Okay, let's go mee

With each passing second, the sound drew close until it filled the air with his cry of alarm,After about five seconds, they stormed in, while the boys handed Don Pablo to the police who quickly handcuffed him,"You sons of bastards should wait for my return!" Don Pablo yelled as they handed him over to the police, "Do you know who I am?" His voice cracking as he yelled at the top of his voice, and at that moment they began to lead him out,"You can't just treat me like this. Wait for me, I'm coming for you.
