I went to the living room, switched on the television, took the remote and was going to sit on the couch. I was about to change the channel that was being displayed but the headline caught my attention while I listened to the reporter. " About 60 people have been confirmed dead with their corspes unidentifiable as the bodies have been burnt beyond recognition, while 53 Severely injured due to a bomb blast in the mansion of the second notorious Mafia leader here in Italy, who has also been confirmed dead. At about 11:35am the residents of this community said they heard gunshots coming from the building like there was a fight between two groups but they weren't astonished because it frequently happens, but the explosion came as a suprise. Other sources say it was a clash between two Mafia group. Reports also coming from the police who are still carrying out their investigation says the explosion was not only caused by bomb but also they could find traces of fuel." A light skinned woman
I was told to wait at the gate by the security men. After waiting for few minutes, I saw Mrs. Kate walking towards me, She was smartly dressed in a white straight cut gown with her flat shoes. Her hair was packed with a net covering it. I kept on admiring her looks, I didn't even know when she got to were I was standing. " Clara, right? " Mrs. kate asked me with a smile on her face waving at the security men. "Hm.. Ye... yes ma Clara" I said jolting back to reality. " Nice to have you here, come with me " She said tapping me on my shoulder while I walked after her, managing to carry my heavy luggages. We passed through the back door instead of the front, she said we were only allowed to go into the house through the back door. There was another building at the back of the mansion, it was quite the same size of my house. It was the maid quarters,two maids stayed in a room. I was taken to my room, it looked nice and quite comfortable and thankfully it wasn't a bunk bed.
LEO'S POVI woke up feeling relieved, the pain reliever I took had subdued the pain. After few minutes of lying on the bed, with my eyes open thinking about how lonely I had being for years, I heard some strange noise, it was definitely coming from my stomach. I picked up my phone to call Mrs. Kate. " Mrs. Kate, am I supposed to call before my food would be brought? " I asked, looking at the clock to check thr time, it was 9:30pm. I slept for long geez. "Sir, I was told you were sleeping and I kept your," " Prepare pasta and hurry up because I am damn hungry" I interrupted her and ended the call, I couldn't bear to listen to whatever Mrs. Kate was about to say, she talks too slow. I had nothing to do, I was so bored. I didn't have friends to chat with plus I wasn't really a social media type. After few seconds of doing nothing, I got up from my bed, walked to the window, the star and the moon was shining so bright in a very beautiful way. I took my time to stare admiring. I quickl
My alarm buzzed out loudly forcing me to spring up from my bed, I checked the time it had just clocked 6:00am and I needed to prepare for school. I battled with the sleep in my eyes, which was trying to overpower me again just like it had done yesterday, but this time I won. I sat on my bed for a while with my eyes still closed, I didn't like the fact that I had to prepare for school this early. Staggering to the bathroom, I turned on the shower, the warm water ran from my head down to my toe and found it way out through the shower drain. By now I was fully awake, I was about to leave when I remembered that I hadn't brushed my teeth. " Damn, I keep on doing this everyday, You are always forgetting to brush first Leo" I said looking at the mirror, talking to no one in particular. I took out my brush, applied my toothpaste on it and went to the sink. After few minutes, I came out of the bathroom using my towel to clean the water that had been dripping from my hair while I was bru
CLARA'S POVI shoved my hair off my face with my swinted eyes as my vision was still bleary, my alarm had just woken me up. I couldn't even recall when and how I slept last night. I was still dozy but when I remembered I had to go to school, I sprinted to the bathroom. When I got out from the bathroom, My roommate was standing by the door waiting for me, she sprang in immediately, complaining about the fact that she had woken up late and was supposed to in the kitchen by this time. I walked to my bed, using my towel to clean my body gently. I had just applied my cream, about to wear my undies when Reneta came out from the bathroom hastily almost falling off. " What have you been doing girl? " She asked me already applying her cream. I became confused, I wanted to ask her what it seems like I was doing , but I restrained myself from asking. I had just put on my uniform, when Renata ran out of the room with her shoe in her left hand. I picked up my phone to check the time, it was 5:
I was running towards the bus-stop, already getting close. A black expensive car speedily drove past me like the owner was being chased. On getting to the bus-stop, there was not available bus there. I stood there stamping my feet, waiting impatiently for the next bus. Thirty minutes had gone, there was no sight of any bus, I was frustrated and cursed those security men for delaying me. " Finally!" I screamed at the sight of a bus which was still far away. People around were beginning to stare at me, while some where laughing. Immediately the bus there, I hurriedly force myself in, pushing anyone and anything blocking my way. When I was dropped at the school gate and there was sign of any student, the school compound was deserted. I started walking as fast as my leg could carry me, I didn't want to run so it wouldn't be so obvious that I had come late. When I got to the hall way, I increased my pace. I heaved a sign of relief when I saw my class. On getting to the class, I c
LEO'S POVMy legs were still crossed on the table, I was enjoying the quietness, I wished the whole school could be like this always. My eyes were closed as I thought about a lot of things. After few minutes, I heard footsteps that bugged me because they were so loud, I put down my leg which had been crossed on the table. Closing my eyes, I placed my hands on the table. All of a sudden, I couldn't hear the footstep again, it was quite suspicious and unusual, so I had to open my eyes to check it out, just incase I was being attacked. It was Jack, he stood like a tree, looking at me with fear, and to make matter worst, he was with the Clara girl again, I noticed he was holding her hands but when he saw me, he let go of her hand. Ever since she came to this school, Jack and I haven't spoken to each other. He was always avoiding me, even when I summoned for him the other time, he never came, I didn't bother to tell him anything. I expected them to move to another sit, pro
CLARA'S POVI was thankful as I walked back to the class. If they hadn't ring the bell, I would have lost to Leo. I entered the class and walking to my sit, I noticed Jack taking glances of me until I sat on the chair. He didn't talk about what had happen, instead he kept quiet, behaving like I wasn't sitting beside him." Hm, Jac" The teacher entered, and I wasn't able to complete my sentence. Unlike Jack, he would have been curious to know what I was about to say, and demand that I say it. It seems as if he didn't even hear what I said, but I was sure he did. Was he angry with me? The teacher had been lecturing for about an hour, he had fourty minutes left. Leo wasn't in the class, he would still be in the library, that is for sure. I was enjoying the class because I was understanding every thing the teacher was saying. He gave us an equation to solve, which I was solving happily. " Start again" I heard someone say, but I could not look up at this moment. I was close to getting my
It wasn't surprising that Danielle led me to the house where my dad has been hiding all this while, it was their plan all along. The location was quite a distance though, it was in the middle of a thick forest which wasn't familiar to me. I had to park my car by the side of the road, and walked to the building with Danielle. She was sweating profusely right now, she appeared to be weak and was loosing lot of blood. I didn't care less, she could die for all I care. As we got nearer, I pulled her in front of me, just in case there was anyone about to shoot. I would use her as my covering. The opened by itself, seems like it was being controlled from a room or something.Some of my dad's men were standing at different corners of the building, but no one dared to shoot. Maybe that was the instruction my dad had given to them. "Now, where is Clara?" I asked Danielle. She didn't respond, instead she kept on walking to a small building, behind the mansion. We finally got there and I i
I was having a good moment with Clara when I received a call from my men, that my dad had attack us. I had to rush over to help them, hoping to meet my dad.As I got nearer to the house, I heard gun shot coming from inside. There were about five men standing outside with guns in their hands. When they saw me approaching, they began to shoot at me. Unfortunately for them, they weren't skillful in handling guns, I was a pro. I shot all of them while I was still inside my car. As I drew closer to the gate, I looked around making sure that none of my dad men was outside. After being satisfied, I went into the compound. There were about a dozen of corpse on the floor and more were still dropping dead. As I went further, I observed that most of them were my dad's men and I was pleased. I passed through a secret passage and got into the house.My men were trying as much as possible to stop the traitors from entering further. I saw Joe by a door, he was already injured, blood was gushi
There were about fifteen cars parked outside, with Leo men surrounding the cars, while others were still inside. I hoped silently that Leo didn't call them for protection. I felt it might be quite embarrassing for me and would likely draw more attention to us. Both on the roads and in the school.I was still peeking through the window, when the door opened and Leo step in briskly. I tried as much as possible pretend that I hadn't been peering, but there was no way I could possibly hide it. "Get prepared, my men would be escorting us to school." Just as I had thought, Leo had called his men for protection.To me, I felt it wasn't necessary and only shows that Leo was a bit scared. But I guess it was because, he knew his father was unpredictable and might likely do something worst. Leo wore his uniform and left the room while I prepared. When I got outside, I was treated like a queen, as Leo men followed me to the car which Leo was in. The moment the door opened, a wide smile appe
Clara's povLater that day, I went to the maids quarters to look for Danielle. There were lots of questions popping in my brain; only Danielle had the answers. As I got closer to the kitchen, there were noises coming from the kitchen as the maids were talking out loudly."I guess they have finally been released" I muttered to myself. I decided not to look at any of them to avoid being angered again, but to my greatest dismay, they all greeted me the moment I stepped my foot into the kitchen. For some seconds, I was taken a back. In fact, I got shock and could feel my heart beat faster than normal. I stood motionlessly, glancing at each of them and still couldn't believe that they just greeted me including Agnes.Clueless about what to do or how to respond, I only feigned an obvious fake smile and hurriedly left the kitchen, going through the door that leads to the maid quarters. It suddenly occurred to me that I should have probably asked then about Danielle, but it was late no
"Sir, she is in here." I rushed into the room, hoping that it was Clara they had seen and not someone else. Luckily, it was Clara; she was still unconscious and laid on the bed peacefully, completely unaware of her surroundings.I noticed some part of her clothes has been messed with, Jack was lucky to have escaped from me today. If I had gotten hold of him, he would have been in the world of the dead by now. I removed my black jacket, wrapping it around Clara's exposed body. I have never seen her in something this sexy, but I must admit that she looked really hot and could drive a man crazy just by staring at her. While lifting her up, I heard her mumble some words and also speak gibberish. I was certain that, she had mentioned my name. While I went back home, I ordered Joe to find out the owner of the hotel. I carried Clara and my laps, while her head rested on my chest as Joe drove us home. I stared at her, stroking her hair continuously, it was difficult to imagine what I woul
"Where the hell is Clara?" I yelled at the security guards, getting closer to the gate. The moment they heard my voice, they suddenly rushed outside and lined up in a straight line. They bowed their heads while I questioned them, but it only made me more furious. I needed someone to look me in the eye and tell me Clara's whereabout, but none of them where saying anything. The youngest among all the security guard, was standing close to me. I grabbed him by his collar and threatened to kill him, if he refuses to speak up. "Sir, I really don't know. She has been indoors and hadn't crossed this gate today," He said with a shaky voice.My phone began to ring out and I quickly let go of his collar, bringing out the phone to check the caller. It was an unknown number and I was reluctant to pick up. On a second thought, I decided to answer it, considering the fact that Clara was missing. "Check the message being sent to you" I heard a feminine voice say. Her tone was filled with so mu
Danielle excitement knew no bound, the moment I agreed to follow her to the club. My aim was to make Leo worry about me, since he didn't care and told me to do as I pleased. I sat on bed, watching Danielle as she began searching for clothes we were going to put on. "Finally!" She shouted with joy and threw a purple gown at me, which landed on my face. I took the gown off my face and scrutinize it carefully.The first thing I observed was that, the gown was short and it was sleeveless. I wasn't comfortable with wearing this type of cloth and I made it known to Danielle, but she insisted. "The security? What are we going to do with them?" I asked her, realizing that, they weren't going to allow me pass through. They knew Leo never wanted me to step outside without him or his body guard.Danielle assured me that, she was going to handle them and I shouldn't be bothered. She did my make over and styled my hair in a really nice way, making me look so pretty and attractive.I stood in fr
CLARA'S POVSince I saw Leo leave that morning, my mind wasn't at rest and I couldn't help but worry about where he was headed.Danielle was still sleeping peacefully and I had nothing to do. I decided have my bath and read for my upcoming final examination. Luckily for me, the door was left open; I knew Leo had purposely left the door open for me. After taking my bath, I put on a baggy shirt with jean shorts, before going to grab my book which was lying on Leo's desk.I was about to leave the room, when it occurred to me that, it would be better if I stayed in Leo's room to read, to avoid distractions from Danielle.I sat back on the desk, carefully arranging the files which were scattered on the table. I was putting them by the side, making sure that I don't get them mixup. I picked up the last file, when suddenly a picture dropped out it. The man in the picture, had a slight resemblance with Jenny. I would have assumed that he was my father, but I don't even recall my father's f
I and my men got to Clara's house, but there was barely any sign of my dad's men around. We waited in separate cars and in different locations, observing every movement in the house.I saw a young beautiful girl, who I assumed to be Clara sister, open the window and looked out. She inhaled and exhaled gently, before putting down the curtains.She had a slight resemblance with Clara, but one could tell that she was older than Clara. After waiting for about two hours, I saw Clara's mum come out of the house. It seemed like she was leaving for work. I ordered that, one car followed her closely, just incase the plan was to kidnap them, while they were on their way to work. After waiting for a few more minutes, my phone buzzed. I could feel the vibration on my laps and took it out to check the caller. It was Mikky; my spy calling. I sensed that something was fishy instantly. On picking the call, I refused to speak first, waiting for the him to say something before I reciprocated. I
