Chapter 25

Elena stands in front of the mirror but she is unable to see herself, the person she was seeing in that mirror was an entirely different person. Well, she was dressed up like Leo today.

The young lady had put on black all through, starting from the satin body hugging top to the distressed Jean pants, and a satin black open robe on top of it all. Now, she looked more like a gangster, maybe Leo was finally getting to her.

She thought of changing the attire but it had taken her hours to get ready, if she chose new clothes, then she would have to go back and redo her makeup. She had sat down for one long hour, painting her face; how could all of that be a waste?

The black on her lower and upper lips were fit for the outfit, it gave her this intimidating look and she could feel it. maybe your appearance really does define your personality, she could feel this aura around her especially when she held the gun in the mirror; bad girl vibes oozing from her being; did she like thi

    Elena seats on the floor, just beside the bed. She hugged her legs with her eyelids barely moving. She was still traumatized by what she had just witnessed- a murder!! Was that necessary?What was the need of the whole talk if they were going to kill him anyway? Why did they take her along and make her witness such barbaric act? Such coldblooded murder!! How could a human easily take another person’s life without remorse- that was the highest level of heartlessness she had seen in her life?The sound of the gunshot and the scenario of him dropping to him fall continued to replay in her head; it was tormenting her, repeatedly as if she had fired the bullet. At this point, tears were trickling down her eyes… she felt guilty and scared.She realizes that she cannot be who he wants her to be, she cannot do such a dirty job, not even at the cost of her life… she realized that she needed to get out of here, this place wasn’t safe for her, not physically or mentally, she needed to get away f

  • Love in Thorns, Guns and Shackles   A furious Captain

    Captain Marco was seated in his office, he was rolling the chair’s wheels around while checking his watch like he was waiting for something to happen, he noticed one of the cops walk to the detective’s office and whisper something in his ear.Of course, he might be the captain and by that, the highest ranking officer in this station, but the detective was still in charge here; these were his men, he organized and taught them everything they know, it’s not a surprise that they would owe him their loyalty.Marco Vincenzo knew that if he was going to make things work here in this precinct, then he needed the Detective. He was still in thoughts about that when he saw the Detective rise and start to come towards him. Captain Vincenzo guessed that there was important information; he hoped that it would be a clue that could help him further investigation on one of the ongoing cases. He hated sitting on his hands and that was exactly what he was doing right now, because all the cases left uns

  • Love in Thorns, Guns and Shackles   The female drug dealer

    Elena grumbled as she walked to Leo’s room. Just earlier today, he had made her watch an innocent man get murdered, what more did he want from her now? She had a feeling he was about to send her to do another one of his dirty jobs, but one thing she was sure of was that she wouldn’t kill a fly for him, for the sake of her mental health and her soul, she would rather kill herself.Yes, that was the coward’s way but she didn’t mind. What was it worth to keep living after losing your soul to darkness? She had imagined the kind of misery she’d be in if she was the one to pull that trigger earlier today, it would certainly haunt her for the rest of her life.Elena got to Leonardo’s and met it open; she looked in and saw five men, Leo excluded. She recognized two of them, but the rest were probably one of their hundreds of sheep, or killing machines in other words. She hesitated but Leonardo looked towards her and signaled to her that she should come in, without actually saying the words.S

    The cars halted in front of a club; it was boldly inscribed club soda above the roof. One of the guys from the car at the back came to them and opened the car for her; Elena stepped out of the black Mercedes Benz with a solemn expression on her face; she looked just as intimidating as the others and she didn’t even have to hold out a gun like the rest of the men.Yes, she had her gun close; it was tucked into the inner pocket of her satin black robe. Elena turned back to the second car, waiting for Mateo to lead the way but he first lit his cigarette with his back against the car, he puffed the smoke into the air and watched it vanish.Mateo was the oldest of the Capos; he was probably in his mid forties. He was less aggressive and more silent but yet the most dangerous of them all; by that, he wasn’t evil or heartless, but he was a badass with a gun; this was because he had trained in the force but unfortunately, he didn’t make it into the army; they offered him a lower position in t

    “What do you mean?” the drug Lord asked immediately and stood up.“I said the police are here, I think someone informed them that we were here,” the man uttered. Elena stood up immediately and turned to Mateo.“That is crazy, the police know of everything that goes down here but they never dare to show up, why would they do that today, I am sure this is a misunderstanding,” Mateo uttered.“No it's not, rumors have been going around that there is a new Captain of police, and he is not going to work with us… prepare your guns boys, this is an attack,” the chief announced.His men grabbed their guns and positioned themselves in front, aiming for the door. “Give me the goods,” the chief instructed.“The money first,” Mateo replied. They exchanged the briefcases immediately and Mateo made sure to see the content, and then he nodded.He turned to his men. “If the chief is right, then this is about to turn into a bloodbath, prepare your guns while we wait for the police,” Mateo said and stoo

    Elena got down from the car and the policeman led her into the station. She couldn’t help but chuckle at how she had four men behind her, armed with guns and a cuff slapped against her wrists like she was some famous terrorist.What did she expect anyway? She had been captured and labeled a member of the Sicilian Mafia; one of the most dangerous Mafia societies to walk the face of earth, a faction which has caused havoc in the society without getting any of it pinned on them.Whoever this new captain was, he must really think he is a god to stand against the Sicilian Mafia, especially the Scorpione family; a faction led by the brutal and cold hearted Scarface, a man who wouldn’t hesitate to kill his own uncle.As they stepped into the station, Elena noticed that all eyes were on her, all the cops were glaring at her as she was taken past their offices. Well, maybe they were also shocked at seeing a female Mafia member, as the Sicilian Mafia was known to recruit just boys in their army

    “Let go of me, you scumbag,” Elena cursed as she dragged her hands away from the nasty old cop who had been teasing her.“Leave us,” the captain ordered and the old man walked away immediately.Elena had just been dragged into the Captain’s office for questioning, not like she intended to say a word to any of them, unless it was necessary. However, she wouldn’t let anyone oppress or maltreat her, not when she was a crazy bitch with a touch of badass.“Please sit, Miss Elena,” Marco uttered while staring at her with interest, he was impressed by this woman’s spirit; she was facing charges that could send her to jail and yet, here she was confident and courageous; maybe it was something to do with being a member of a Mafia family.Elena on the contrary stared at him with disgust when he called her that, it had reminded her of Leonardo as he was the only one that calls her that. She reluctantly took a seat and glared at him with a solemn expression.“I am Captain Marco Vincenzo and would

    Elena is seated at the back of a prison van with her hands cuffed as she is being conveyed to the court for hearing, it was just yesterday that she was arrested and today she has been trialed already. That wasn’t really what bothered her, the earlier the better.But she was confused on why they chose to transport her with a prison van since she had not yet been found guilty of the charges by the court, that was infringement of her fundamental rights, she shouldn’t be treated as a criminal until she was found as one, at least that was what she thought.Elena worried that her parents might show up at the court today. Wasn’t it funny? She was abducted from her own house in front of her parents and the next time they set their eyes on her, it was as a soon to be convicted criminal. Yes, it was ironic that their useless daughter was finally getting attention from the public, she was finally popular but for the wrong reasons.Elena thought of her younger siblings and imagined what would be

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.

    “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

    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

    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

    “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
