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!"

Chapter 83 - Second Heist.MONALISA PARKER'S POV,Seated beside Bruno as he drove us to the bank, it brought back memories from the past. Occasionally, his gaze would linger on me, but I didn't take my eyes off the road.Since I'd be the first to get into the bank, he dropped me off, but before I could get down his words came, "be careful." He said, his soft gaze looking deep into my eyes,I forced a smile and nodded in response. "Wait for my signal." I said and closed the door.Right inside the bank, I walked straight to the cashier, my pupils meticulously taking note of my surroundings. Luckily for me, there were two persons ahead of me.Since I couldn't wear my throat microphone, I had to use my phone, "Five security men inside, two on each side of the door. Four outside." I swiftly typed and sent to Bruno who responded with an okay.Two of our gangs walked in one after another straight towards the customer care, requesting to speak to the manager just as planned.Almost immediatel
Chapter 84 - You Can't Die, Bruno.MONALISA PARKER'S POV,Right inside the van, my heart was banging faster than it had ever did. Bruno was lying on the chair, his breath getting heavier with every passing second.The once hefty and mighty Bruno was now looking like a wounded lion. Gradually turning pale right before my own eyes.I turned towards Raymond who was now seated on the driver's seat, "Faster!" I yelled. My voice a desperate cry.Although he had far exceeded the speed limit, I felt like he was not fast enough. The distance seemed longer, and I knew how dangerous every passing second was to Bruno.My hand was clasped tightly around Bruno's other hand, even as I squatted right beside him. My tears flowing nonstop, as I stared at Bruno who was obviously in pain. My other hand was firmly pressing down on the spot, to stop the blood from flowing, but every single effort from me seemed unproductive as the blood never stopped flowing."Don't die Bruno. You can't die." I said to hi
Chapter 85 - Don Pablo's Satisfaction.MONALISA PARKER'S POV,"Get down I want to go alone." I said to Raymond who was still seated on the driver's seat. My voice stern and authoritative as I spoke, leaving no place for negotiations.His brows furrowed slightly upon hearing my words. He was about to say something when I yelled at him, "now!" My voice bearing the weight of my fury as I spoke."What about me?" He asked, his surprise etched on his face. "You can go with the boys," I responded sharply.He stepped down and as soon as I got in, I slammed the door hard beside me. As I stared through the windshield, my tears spilled and my vision blurred.My hands wobbled over the steering wheel, even as I reversed in a fierce intensity.

I was certain that I couldn't bear

I stated, a deliberate trap I had laid before him, since I wanted to uncover how much he knew.He chuckled loudly again, pointing towards me as he did. As his satisfaction stretched on, my anger grew, but I endured every of his mockery since I knew I had to uncover how much he knew.Finally his laughter boils down, and he said, "Come on Lisa! Don't be silly." But then, he started laughing again. He seemed to be enjoying himself, while I stood there patiently waiting for him to spill his words."What do you mean by that?" I questioned, my voice ringing with desperation as I stared at him in a fierce intensity. Even as I stood right there, my heartbeat began to pulsate loudly in my ears, my fear of being discovered had gotten the best of me.

As I took her glass of strawberry juice from the end table and sipped from it, her voice came, "I can tell you're excited." She stated, her voice ringing with curiosity; without a second thought, I nodded my head repeatedly in response.Since I was certain and ready to move on, I knew I had to open up to Missy and tell her everything in my heart."Tell me about it?"

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?"

My anger and determination propelling me forward, even as I took long, determined steps towards Don's sanctuary.Don Pablo's head jerked up upon hearing my words, and as I devoured the distance between us, I could see the crease on his forehead.
