Love in Thorns, Guns and Shackles The gun market
Leonardo and his Capos; Mateo, Antonio, and Luca arrive at the gun market and are ushered to a high position as special buyers. There were mere thugs and solo criminals at the auction as well, it was an underworld gun market where guns smuggled in illegally are being sold, mostly military grade weapons that are not legal for private individuals or even low rank officers.The thing is that the Mafia didn’t care about the rules; they purchased whatever sort of weapon that they wished to and used it whenever they pleased. This auction was attended by all the criminals in the country and everyone bought what they were able to afford. Among the buyers present today were the Japanese Mafia, the Russian Mafia and some other tough crime societies.The place used to be run by the Italian Mafias before but now the coordinators were mostly from the American Mafia which had by the way originated from Italy. They were powerful crime families that brought together

“Oh, we got an extra two hundred, a new bidder, should we sell it off? Does someone think he deserves it more? Who else is willing to bid higher for this doomsday weapon, anyone?”He turned to Mateo and smiled at him. Mateo stood again, “We will make that Four thousand and five hundred,” he announced and the crowd clapped.This was of course the most exciting part of the show, watching brothers fight to get the best weapon.“Five thousand,” the new self-proclaimed leader of the Lupi family gang announced and the crowd cheered.“Wow, five thousand!! That is huge but we believe someone who knows the worth can offer more, who is going to be? Five thousand going?” the announcer asked.Mateo looked at Scarface and he smiled, and then asked him to come closer. The capo sat down and brought his ears closer to hear what the Don had to say.“It is obvious that my uncle’s partially standing family is here

The room was filled with murmurs immediately, what did the police want here? They never disturbed the operation of the gun black market because the organizers of the event always settled them on a monthly basis to let them do their business in peace.The gathering of the most brilliant masterminds on earth was supposed to be protected and that protection included from the police itself. The organizers of the program who had come out of their hideout as well began to whisper amongst themselves.“What do we do now, Boss. Should we wait for the organizers to sort this out or confront the police?” Mateo asked.“Mateo, the police aren't here for these crime lords or illegal gun dealers, they are here for people like us, they are here for me,” Leo said in a less concerned voice, and then he turned around and saw Luca who had blood stains on his face.Leo ran to him immediately. “Where is Elena?” he asked with a look of concern a

Anna paced around in her bedroom, thinking of what she had to do next. Even with all the facts and evidence collected, Baron White had still refused to publish her story on the Mafias of Italy and Sicily to be precise.She needed to get that information out there by all means, people needed to know the truth. All she needed was a platform to reach out to them and that is why she had been desperately pleading for her chief Editor to approve the story.She didn’t want to wait on him anymore, it was clear to her now that he would never change his mind. That was when a thought crossed her mind; she could start her own personal blog and get the story out there.Yes, that would be risky but she didn’t care, at least people would know the truth. She would expose all the secrets of the Mafia to the light, she will open the eyes of the world as a whole and let everyone know the people behind these dirty acts, the people who would go about murder

Elena was seated on her bed, staring at her hands like she literally had blood on them. Maybe figuratively, she did. She had not been this scared in a long time, she couldn’t believe that she had actually shot someone todayThis was her first time shooting anyone ever since she was born, and the ridiculous part of it was that she actually did it on her own decision. Leo had failed several times at getting her to shoot someone, and today she did it all on her own decision.The sound of the gunshot was still echoing in her ear and her hands were still shaking. She had been quiet since they both ran off from that woodland. She was disturbed by the whole thing and couldn’t even get up to do anything.What bothered her the most was the possibility of Marco dying. Yes, that would solve her problem but then she would have blood on her hands, she would have killed a policeman, she had committed and unlike the others that they were already after

“Alright Mr. Vincenzo, you have been patched up but you still need rest. You can leave if you want but my medical advice is that you stay here and let our nurses keep an eye on your progress, luckily the bullet didn’t damage anything, it is just a flesh wound but you still need time to heal. I believe you would be cleared to get back on the field in a week's time or so,” the Doctor announced.Captain Marco faked a smile immediately. “Alright Doctor, I think I will stay for the night, and then I will leave tomorrow,” he said and touched his bandaged shoulder“Alright then, I will see you tomorrow, Captain, take care.” The Doctor concluded with a smile before leaving.Captain Marco sighed and sat up on the hospital bed, he hated taken orders even as an officer of the law, maybe that was why his general sent him down to this city because honestly, this was like a demotion for him, he only saw it as a chance to save his city from this plagu
Last Updated : 2022-09-06Love in Thorns, Guns and Shackles Practicing with Scarface
Elena held the gun and pointed it at the shooting target; it was made of carbon paper in the shape of a human with the center otherwise known as Bull’s-eye located at both the chest and forehead. She was at the practice room which was a large hall on the roof.Elena aimed for the Bull’s-eye on the chest, she was trying to stay concentrated but her aim was wavering and unstable. She had already fired the first two shots and missed the entire target, luckily it was a practice bullet so it didn’t do much damage to the wall where it hit. Shooting seemed to be even much harder than it looked. She must have been lucky with her shot yesterday because if she flawed the way she was doing now, it would have been Leo’s dead body on that floor.The gun she was using for practice however didn’t have an aiming device, so it made things more difficult for her. She didn’t even know why she was doing this but she just found herself doing it.Well maybe

Leonardo stood in the empty hall and watched Elena as she ran off, he wanted to call her but he relented. What would he even tell her if he called her? He had nothing to say to her, not an explanation, not a question, not a comment.Well, he just couldn’t understand his feelings these days, especially around her, he always acted out of impulse. He couldn’t control his feelings around her, wait… since when did he even start to have feelings?Until she came along, he believed that his actions were only guided by his logic, but now he wasn’t so sure anymore. He didn’t have a reason for being intimate with her but he was doing it, he was having affection for her, he just didn’t want to accept it.He was Leonardo Salvatore and he wasn’t allowed to have feelings. Love he believed was a sickness, a weakness, once that could lead to a person’s downfall. They say the most dangerous people are those who have nothing to lose. That person used to b

Love in Thorns, Guns and Shackles Freedom at last
It has been five long years since the arrest of the mighty Leonardo Salvatore; well, not exactly an arrest since he turned himself in. but well, thanks to his numerous connections in and out of the country, he was able to get just a short sentence of five years in prison, unlike most others in the Mafia who had an eternity to rot in jail.The guard opened the gate and Leo stepped out with a smirk on his face, he took a deep breathe in and let it out. It felt good to be out here after five long years, to be in a different outfit than the same orange jumpsuit.Well, he was going to miss some of the friends he made there, as well as the enemies he made. Not like he was going to stay in prison for five years without breaking someone’s head or knocking out their teethHe was still Leonardo Salvatore after all, the Devil’s very own incarnate, Assassino Del Fratello. He was still the son of Don Anthony, the blood related bastard son, the one d
Love in Thorns, Guns and Shackles Ann's success
“Yesss!!!” Anna screams in excitement and jumps on the bed.“Babe, what happened?” Rocco asked as he rushed into the room immediately.“It’s gone Viral; my paper on Mafia society has gone viral!! Over a thousand copies have been distributed already and my blog has gotten over a million engagements worldwide and it has only been forty-eight hours since publication,” she exclaimed.“Wow, that is good news babe, I am proud of you,” Rocco uttered with a smile on his face. Well, he didn’t give off as much energy as Anna was giving right now, but he was glad. Now he could have her undivided attention as she was done with her obsession to expose the Mafia.“I know, I am so happy. All of my hard work has paid off, not only has the truth about the Mafia and its members being put out in public, all of the bad guys are now being hunted for prosecution regardless of their ranks and I have become very popular for being the tool through

“You sent for me?” Anna queried as she walked into the Captain’s office. She saw Elena seated there with Captain Marco, they paused whatever they were discussing before her arrival.“Oh, yes Ann… you are here.” Marco replied with a smile on his face. Well, he was back to being captain temporarily, he had just a few days to prove his innocence and Leo was going to help him do that.Elena had been cleared of all charges as well. Leonardo had immediately admitted to abducting her and making her commit the crimes she committed, he had taken the blame for the whole thing thereby acquitting her of all charges.“Why isn’t she in chains?” Anna queried while staring at Elena with hateful eyes.“Shut up, do you want your story or not?” Elena retorted with a mean face.“Alright, calm down ladies… Anna, you said you needed a confession from a member of the Mafia gang for the credibility of your story on the Sicilian Mafi
Love in Thorns, Guns and Shackles A Mafia Massacre
Elena was starting to breath heavily in fear while saying her last prayers, this was it, she was going to die and nothing would be found of her remains. The young lady had driven an armored car from Leo’s secret arsenal to the Scorpione Mafia house as a distraction for the men.They had requested that she reveal her identity by coming down from the vehicle but she wasn’t ready to do that, well she was going to die the moment she stepped out of here. Leo was no longer in charge and so she wouldn’t be welcome here.As originally planned, she had refused to come down from the vehicle or reveal her face; she just kept her hands on the fire gears, ready to shoot if it came to that. Well, she didn’t expect this to turn out this way, she knew that she was supposed to keep the entire army busy till the boys got rid of their leaders and then they will come for her, but now they had gotten tired of waiting and were about to blow an explosive into the armo

Luca walked into the empty hall and sighed, was he early? He wasn’t supposed to be the only one here. It seemed like he spoke too soon because a few seconds later, Antonio, Lorenzo and Giovanni walked into the hall as well.“Finally, you guys are here, what is the news?” Luca asked.“What do you mean? You are the one who called us here, so aren’t you supposed to be telling us that?” Lorenzo queried.Luca wore a puzzled expression on his face immediately. “Um, I think there has been a misunderstanding, I got a message asking me to come here to this hall and that I should come alone, the message was from an anonymous person stating that there was news about Scarface, I didn’t call anyone here,” he said in denial.Lorenzo looked at the other two men in confusion and then he turned back to Luca. “Wait, something isn’t right. The three of us got a message that you found out something about Luca, but you needed us to hear i

“What do you mean you can’t find the Metal Storm gun?” Lorenzo asked as he stepped out in his Pajamas. He had been woken up this early with such bad news.“We searched the entire armor room, the gun isn’t there. Someone must have taken it out, but who could it be?” Luca replied with a worried look on his face.“I personally loaded the guns that Leonardo had left with yesterday, the metal storm gun wasn’t with him. We need to find that gun before it gets into the wrong hands,” Lorenzo emphasized.“By wrong hands, you mean Scarface, right?” Luca asked; the fear on his face was very visible, he knew well to be terrified of Scarface.“Yes, if he has that weapon and finds out about our betrayal, he would not hesitate to use it on us, he will massacre our men with that beast of a gun. Mateo has gone radio silent since yesterday and Leo hasn’t contacted us either. It is obvious that something had gone wrong with the plan, if
Love in Thorns, Guns and Shackles The Mafia Lord's plan for revenge
Elena wakes up in the morning and groans, it had been a very difficult night for her especially because they had to sleep in the warehouse overnight and next to a dead body. Leo had made her a bed from clothes and sacks found, and then he had protected her from the cold with his fluffy jacket; good thing he brought it along.She remembered he had said something about staying up all night to keep watch and Marco also wouldn’t sleep while Leo was awake. Well, he still didn’t trust the Mafia Boss to not kill him. Elena wondered if they had gotten any sleep over the night, she looked around and noticed that they were not in the warehouse.She quickly jerked up and got the jacket wrapped around her body, then she headed for the big door, hoping that they had not killed themselves yet. Well, they had promised not to, but that didn’t mean that they couldn’t, especially with the way Leo stares at Marco whenever he gets any close to her.Elena w
Love in Thorns, Guns and Shackles Joining forces
Leo walks into the warehouse where Elena and Marco were discussing, he felt jealousy rush through his veins at the sight of that but he chose to remain focused on his priorities, Elena might not have said yes to his proposal but she didn’t exactly say no either, which means she was into him as well and he would have her all to himself later.Marco didn’t even flinch an eyelid at the sight of the Mafia Boss, not minding the gun he had in his hand. For reasons best known to him, he was almost certain that Leo wouldn’t shoot him, maybe because Elena was there with them. Seeing how he was bonding with Elena, the Mafia Boss would know better than to kill him in her presence.“Listen here Captain, I am sure you have heard,” Leo started arrogantly.“That your guys don’t want you anymore? Yes, I have… I am sorry; do you need a shoulder to cry on? Well, I don’t have one,” Marco teased. Funny how he could have fun with someone who wouldn’t hesita
Love in Thorns, Guns and Shackles He confessed his feelings
“Are you alright?” Leo asked immediately and cupped her cheek with one palm. “Did he hurt you?” he added and looked at Marco with hateful eyes; he still had the gun in his other hand and so the cop needed to be careful or he would use it.She nodded. “Yes, I am fine, but you don’t look good. Your hand is bleeding,” she half-yelled as she caught sight of it.“Yeah, the motherfucker shot me,” he groaned and looked back at Mateo with disbelief and contempt in his eyes.“Why would he turn on you?” Elena asked with a look of curiosity.“Well, there has been a conspiracy. Lorenzo has overthrown me as Don in my absence, I would rip his throat out and watch him suffer to death,” he spat.“Okay, calm down… I would go and get you a bandage, Marco has some in his car” she said and headed for the door.“Be careful, Elena.” He uttered and she nodded as she ran out.Leo sighed and watched her l
