Love in Thorns, Guns and Shackles Elena's first mission
Elena walked to the middle of the road and lay down, she was really terrible at acting but this wasn’t a difficult scene, was it? In a few seconds, she could see the front light of the incoming car; she began to raise her hand like asking for help.She was nervous and a part of her wished that the man wouldn't stop the truck. Yes, if he didn’t, he would run her over, but wasn’t that better than becoming a criminal? She had no idea what these men were going to do to the truck driver but it would definitely be something bad, and she already felt guilty about it.If anything bad happened to the man, she would be responsible for it. She didn’t want to live with such guilt, especially when she was not sure how long before she was killed as well. But on second thought, did she deserve to die? Was it right to die for someone else? She might not be a criminal but she was no saint either, she had done some pretty bad things in her life.The truck was fast approaching, honking loudly and contin

“Don’t blame me, it was you that gambled with thugs when you knew you had no money!!” Elena’s mother yelled back at her husband.“Really? Well, if you had trained her well, then she would have been married by now and we wouldn’t even have to worry about her getting abducted by some random thugs.” He retorted in his defense.Chiara rolled her eyes at him. “Our daughter was not abducted by thugs, she was taken as collateral by the people you owe money. Why would you even gamble with such thugs in the first place? You know very well that he is a member of the Lupi family and yet you had something to do with him.” she scolded.Elena’s father staggered around trying to gain balance, he had gone out as usual tonight and had a lot to drink, now he was tipsy from all that. “”Don’t blame it all on me alone, how was I supposed to know that he would come here and take our useless daughter?” He queried.“Stop giving flimsy excuses and admit you are wrong, this is your entire fault. Useless or not

Anna knocked on the office door and checked her watch; she was dressed in regular house attire- a short sleeved light shirt and pajamas down. She glared at the camera impatiently, while wondering what Baron White was still doing here by now.Finally, the door opened and the white skinned man stared at her with keen eyes, probably surprised to see her. “Anna? What are you doing here so late at night, and in Pajamas?” he queried with furrowed eyebrows.“I should be asking you that. I went to your house hoping to find you there, but I was informed that you were here, so I had to come.” She replied.“Well, my wife is mad at me, I am kind of sleeping in the doghouse tonight, so I thought it would be better to crash here,” Baron uttered and took a bite from the chicken wings in his hand.Anna wrinkled her face and looked at him with mixed expressions. “Your wife kicked you out of the house? What did you do again, Mr. White?” she asked and smirked.“Hey, don’t give me that look, it wasn’t my

Elena stood before the mirror, adjusting her outfit to perfection. She was dressed in a long pink gown that went down to her ankles; it was split on one side, from the knee downwards. She packed her long hair to the left and clipped it together; she still had no idea why Leonardo had asked her to dress up.This was practically her third night under the roof of these vile men, she was beginning to get a bit comfortable around here, considering the things she had now that she wouldn’t even dream of before, but however she still wanted more than anything else to go home.She had been served the best breakfast of her entire life earlier today, and a maid had brought her lunch in her room later as well, she would never get such treatment at home. Was she foolish for wanting to go back home? Or was she greedy for enjoying the advantages of her new home?Not like it was guaranteed, but she had more faith now that they wouldn’t kill her, what would they gain from ending her already miserable

The party was bubbling with entertainment, music in the air, flashy lights illuminating the whole place. Elena was sitting alone at a table, she had come here with three of the gang members, Mateo and two other made-men.The two men were outside while Mateo was inside, keeping an eye on her. Even though she couldn’t see him, she knew that he was watching her from a corner. The man she had come for was two tables away, he was surrounded by about five able bodied young men, obviously his guards.Elena was trying to come up with a plan, a way she could get closer to him. she wouldn’t just go there and sit, he was a high profile fellow, he could have his men toss her out of the party the next moment.She also couldn’t confront him and ask for his phone at gunpoint, his men obviously had bigger guns; they would off her before she even made a move. Elena was confused; she had no idea what to do next. Leonardo had made it clear that if the mission wasn’t successful, he would kill a member of

“What do you think you are doing?” the man queried with furrowed eyebrows.“Don’t ask me any questions, turn around and put your hands up in the air,” she ordered. She had suddenly found courage after he called her a bitch, she hated that term a lot and wouldn’t mind killing because of it.The man chuckled. “You are really silly to threaten me, do you know who I am?” he asked and made to come closer.“Not another step, I am not kidding,” she warned with a stern face and the man paused.“Stop this and put down the gun, it's obvious you haven’t shot someone before, your hands are shaking,” he said and laughed.Even though he was acting tough and fearless, Elena could see the fear visible in his eyes, she knew she got him where she wanted him, she just had to put more effort or she would be gone.“You are right, I haven’t shot someone before but I really want to know what it feels like, so don’t piss me off further or I will blow off your fucking brain!!” she threatened. “Now, hands in t

Lorenzo stood at a dark spot watching as Leonardo dragged Elena down the stairs, he couldn’t understand what was going on between those two. Few minutes later, Leo walked out of the basement.Lorenzo quickly hid away behind a pillar and waited for Leo to walk past, the Mafia Boss walked past him muttering some inaudible words, he sounded really angry; Elena must have really pissed him off.Leonardo suddenly paused; he sniffed and turned around like he could smell something odd. Lorenzo hid himself properly, moving very gently to avoid making a sound. He noticed Leo walking back slowly towards him; this wasn’t good, if the Boss caught him spying on him, he would be in big trouble.Leo got closer to him and his heart began to race. It didn’t matter that he was older than Leonardo; the Don could punish anyone he wished to. If Leo could sentence his own uncle to death, how much more someone that wasn’t blood related?Even if Leonardo doesn’t feel the need to punish him, this would be a re

Baron White groaned when he heard another knock on the door, he had just sent the last person away a few minutes ago, who was at the door again? He might be the Chief Editor of this media outlet, but he didn’t see it as a reason why he should be bothered and bugged by the workers constantly; they should give him a break.Baron was someone who really didn’t like anything stressful in his life, he just wanted to live a happy, comfortable life and out of trouble. First, his wife now was nothing like the woman he saw before marriage; thanks to his gentle, stay out of trouble nature, he had become the female in the marriage, while she took the position of the head of the table.Not like he was complaining, in fact he still loved her very much, but he just wished she was less demanding and bossy with him. Was he weak for not wanting any troubles? Was he weak for living a life of nonviolence?All he ever wanted was a nice comfy life where he gets everything he wants served on a platter of go

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

“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
