Am going after her

last update Last Updated: 2022-09-12 03:14:26

Leonardo walks out to the garden very early in the morning as he waits for the patrol team to return. Well, he had sent out men very early to know if the Captain had returned to his house or the station.

It had been barely twelve hours since Elena was abducted but it felt like a century to Leo. He had barely gotten any sleep the previous night and she was all that he could think about. Leo began to realize how much he cared about that lady; this was more than just care, maybe he felt more for her, maybe he had things that he should have said to her long ago.

He was scared of losing her, so does that mean that he loved her? He began to reminisce on the way her presence made him feel, she was the only thing that made him human and without her, he was a beast, she was the beauty in his story, the only one who’s presence could tame the monster in him.

Leo thought about how the past twelve hours had gone, he had already gone back to his prev

    There was a knock on the door and Anna groaned before standing up from the bed. “Who do you think it could be?” she asked Jane, who was busy looking through her wardrobe.“I don’t know, but you should check… at least someone has come knocking on your door after days of being alone, you should go and check it out.” Jane replied with intending sarcasm.Anna huffed and shook her head, her best friend was good at this. She headed for the door immediately. “So you still haven’t decided on which dress I should wear today?” she asked with a chuckle.“Oh, I think you should stay in your pajamas all day like you have been doing since you lost your job,” Jane replied yet again in sarcasm and Anna laughed. At least she had someone to make her smile, even if it wasn’t realShe had refused to close down her blog like Baron White requested and so he had terminated her contract with the company. In other words, he had fired her, hoping t

    After hours of silence, Marco finally decided to speak. “So are we going to talk about last night or what?” he queried.“Absolutely not, let’s forget that ever happened,” Elena retorted immediately without looking in his direction as if she had been waiting for him to say it.“Great, we should never talk about it. Now that is said and done, which I am very relieved about, can we proceed to why we are here in the first place?” Marco requested and stood up from the couch.Elena pulled the blanket up to fully cover her body. Not like she was still unclad; she had put on her gown back but for some reason, she still felt naked. “And why are we here, Mr. Marco, you brought me here against my will, so you should tell me why we are here,” she replied.Marco groaned. “Come on Elena, don’t make this more difficult than it already is. Make the confession and we both win, you will gain your freedom and I will have my job back,” the ca

    Luca walks into the hall with a solemn face and meets Antonio there. “Who called for me? I thought the Boss had skipped town,” he asked in a cold voice, he was obviously still mourning his brother who had been executed in a very painful manner the previous night.“I don’t know, I also got the information that my presence was needed here,” Antonio replied and sighed.“I sent for the both of you,” Lorenzo’s voice sounded as he walked into the hall with Mr. Giovanni.Luca frowned the moment he saw the aged man who had condemned his brother to death. “What is this all about? Has Leo also ordered for my own execution?” Luca queried immediately.“Relax Luca, you are only here for the same reason as Antonio. You are both here because you are capos in charge of equal percentages of men and I need your help,” Lorenzo said calmly as he approached them.“Well, Mr. Giovanni is here, so I guess someone is about to get con

    Marco pushed the door open and rushed in immediately. “Come on, we have to leave,” he said loudly and rushed to Elena, dragging her up by the arm.“Wait, you can't just drag me around like that… where are we going now?” Elena grumbled and pulled her arm away from him.Marco Vincenzo brought out the gun from his pocket immediately. “Do not make this difficult for me, we have been found and we need to leave immediately. They are coming here as we speak and you are coming with me, willingly or unwillingly,” he stated clearly.“Yeah, of course abduct me again… so much for being a policeman,” Elena grumbled as he took her hand again and gently dragged her out of the door. Well, she didn’t hesitate any more but he still held on to her.“Where are you going? The elevator is the other way,” Elena yelled as they had taken the wrong direction. She might have not come out since when they arrived but she could still remember the way s

    The warehouse was dark and abandoned; Marco closed the door and dragged Elena to a cover of sacks on the far end. The hall had long square shaped pillars lined on two sides in the middle, there were a few sacks and cartons packed in it.“Don’t say I didn’t warn you, Leonardo will do things worse than death to you,” Elena mumbled as he made her hide behind the sacks at the far end of the hall. Their position gave them an advantage over the intruders.“Just stay quiet and don’t do anything silly. Your boyfriend isn’t some god, and if he doesn’t stop coming after me, then I would just have to kill him.” Marco said in a cold voice.Even though he sounded tough, and unwavering, Elena could sense the fear in him. He was about to go face to face with the god of guns, the serial assassin, Assassino Del Fratello himself. To make it worse, Leo also had Mateo with him.There was no way Marco would outlast Leo alone, speak more of Mat

    “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

    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?

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

    “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

    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
