‘Santa Maria Madre di Cristo (holy Mary mother of Christ’ she yells as she looks at the caller id ‘not now’
‘Monalisa honey’ the caller says weakly ‘please come back home, I’m seriously sick…. *cough cough*… I want to see you before I die’
‘Seriously mother’ Monalisa replies angrily as she sits up ‘you and I both know nothing can make me come back home well except a relative is DEAD, so mom stop pretending cause I’m not in the mood’
‘Monalisa dear I’m really serious ‘she replies as she coughs and composes herself for some minutes ‘Monalisa please come to New York, have pity on this old woman’
‘Seriously mom, you’re not old, you’re just forty-s....’
‘Monalisa, just stop talking about my age, *cough cough* whether am old or young, I am your mother and it’s absolutely normal for me to miss my child’ Monalisa mom pauses for a while before she continues ‘besides I’m really sick and am receiving treatment from our family doctor, Mr. Wood’
Lisa sighed and debated in her mind whether to go home or not. ‘Fine mamma, I will come home, expect me tomorrow.’
‘Really’ her mom said, one would know she is elated because of the tone of her voice.
‘Yes mamma’
‘Ok darling see you in the tomorrow bye’
‘Bye’ Monalisa replied as she hung up, she then lay down on her bed and stands up immediately, she takes a ribbon and uses it to tie her jet-black hair. After tying her hair, she walks out of her room to the living room where the Cosa Nostra (members of a mafia gang) is.
‘Silvia, is the contract signed?’ Lisa asks her secretary as she uses her fingernail to itch her tattooed neck and sits on a vacant blue couch.
‘Oh My God, I’m so sorry boss’ she replies as she stands up and goes near Monalisa with her head bowed.
‘WHAT?’ Lisa shouts and Silvia flinches ‘get that contract signed before I f*****g blow your head with ma pistol,
‘Yes boss’ she replied and dashed out of the living room
‘You scared her Lisa’ Amanda, Lisa’s best friend who had a petite structure and a long natural light hair says as she drinks her alcohol.
‘She deserved that besides she’s too damn slow’ Lisa replies as she sighs and relaxes on the blue couch
‘Lisa, are you worried about something’ Luca a thin guy who was a natural red hair asked ‘or did something bad happen’
‘No, nothing bad happened but it’s just my mom is sick and I’ve got to see her so I’ll be staying in New-York for a while’ she then paused for a while before she continued ‘Angelo while I’m gone take care of the business and everyone, if there’s a problem don’t hesitate to contact me’
‘Ok boss, I’ll do my best’ Angelo said.
‘You better, and you guys’ she said referring to both Amanda and Luca ‘you will follow me to New York since we are the only ones who are still in high school’
‘Ok boss’ they both replied obviously excited’.
‘Good’ she stated as she watches her gang members do their stuffs, she sighs as she relaxes her head on the couch and thinks whether going to New-York is the right decision.
AT THE AIRPORT
Angelo, Monalisa, Amanda, and Luca all sits on a long bench waiting for the time of the flight. No words were exchanged between them, they were in a comfortable silence, and they were just looking at the people around them.
‘I need to use the rest room’ Luca informed Lisa as he stands up, Lisa gives him a sign of approval by nodding her head and he walks away on a hurry. Lisa checks her wrist watch 2 minutes after luca had left and mumbles incoherently looking at the direction he had left multiple times.
‘What in the name of God is luca doing in the restroom’ Angelo asks no one in particular as he also checks his wristwatch ‘it’s almost time for your flight’
‘No idea’ Amanda replied not focusing on anything but her red pants. Luca starts to approach the trio and seemed to think about something as he walks sluggishly.
‘What the hell took you so long?’ Lisa asks pissed off by his action and that seemed to snap him out of his thoughts.
‘I’m so sorry boss’ he apologized looking anywhere other than her eyeballs.
‘Angelo, do exactly what I told you to do…. Ok’.
‘Yes boss, bye’ Angelo replied with an expressionless face. ‘Let’s go’ Monalisa says talking to both Amanda and Luca. They both stood up and started walking away.
Amanda who was at the back of Lisa held her pants because it was dropping, Luca who had been watching Amanda intently tried not to laugh as the scene while Amanda glared daggers at him as she struggled with her pants but what they did not seem to notice was that Lisa knew everything going on at her back.
‘I wonder why I ever took these immature teenagers with me … Maybe it’s because I am close to them’ she thought still pretending not to notice them.
hello guys what do you think about Monalisa.
‘Mamma, I am home’ Lisa yells as the trio scramble on the red and black couch. Lisa looks around the house and thinking how her home had changed so much over the years, her mom had changed the television, the house design, and the chairs, in fact almost everything had been replaced except one thing… The portraits on the wall. ‘My baby’ Monalisa mom whose hair was also jet-black just like Lisa’s with a pointed nose and a sickly thin pale structure replies coming out from the kitchen. ‘Mom?’ Lisa asks in disbelief as she looks at her mother, the woman looked as if she could break into half if anything wrong happened to her. ‘What happened to you?, I thought you were just kidding with me’ she says as she stands up to hug her mom while Amanda and Luca awkwardly looks at the drama being displayed in front of them. ‘I wasn’t kidding.’ Lisa’s mom, Rita replies chuckling ‘besides the doctor said I’ll be fine in a week or two and who are your two friends’ ‘Introduce yourselves’ Lisa te
SENIOR CLASS 05 ‘Hey Jeremy’ Adrian blonde tall guy with green eyes says as he sits beside Jeremy. ‘What do you want Adrian’ Jeremy replies rolling his hazel eyeballs as he drops his pencil on his book. ‘what’s wrong with you, I’m seeing you for the first time this week and all you can say is what do you want Adrian’ he says mimicking Jeremy ‘you are so cruel ya’ know’ ‘I’m sorry Adrian it’s just this …arghh … she just … don’t worry’ ‘Uuuu, I smell love in the air’ he replies leaning forward with a smile ‘now tell me who is this SHE you’re talking about’. ‘It’s actually not what you think’ ‘Ummmm’ Adrian hummed indicated he didn’t believe him at all. ‘I’m serious man, look I was actually coming from the miss Lesley office and then I saw this beautiful damsel approaching me, as she walked it was like a thousand people singing a hymn, she looked angry yet looked a million times more beautiful in my eye, she looked like an angel that fell from heaven but the thing is that she go
‘Mattina mamma’ [morning mom] Lisa greeted her mom ignoring Amanda and luca. ‘Buongiorno caro come e andata tua serata?’ [Morning dear how was your night?] Monalisa mom replied. ‘It was okay’ she says sitting on the dining chair while putting her hand in her blue pants left pocket bringing out a gun. She was clad in a white top with the inscription }ARMY~ and long blue pants. Everyone present in the kitchen area was bewildered as to why she would put a gun on the dining table in the morning. Lisa looks around the house tapping her foot on the floor rhythmically ‘What?’ she asks looking at them because they all looked at her as if she just came from another planet. ‘Good morning boss’ both Amanda and luca greeted. ‘Morning’ she answered. ‘Oh it should be any time soon’ she murmured looking the time on her expensive gold wrist watch. ‘Uhmm honey, what is going on because I know that face you’re making, you’re excited about something really really bad’. Mrs. Rita asks nervously
‘Monalisa why didn’t you follow your friends’ Rita asks immediately Lisa enters the house. ‘Didn’t feel like mom’ she answers and looks at her mom direction. Her eyes widen in surprise as she sees Mr. Wood checking her mom vitals and Mr. Ohmshford sitting on the couch. ‘Oh God’ she mumbles already getting irritated by his presence ‘Mr. Wood tell me ‘bout my mom health tomorrow byyee’ she says ignoring Mr. Ohmshford but the principal being who he is couldn’t just get ignored like that stood up to confront Monalisa. ‘Monalisa, what are you doing at home I thought I said you…’ ‘Oh please old man’ Lisa interrupted glaring at him ‘you frustrate me in school and now my house. Please sir MIND YOUR BUSINESS!’ She shouted as she angrily climbed the staircase. ‘Oh my God’ Mr. Ohmshford mumbles while Rita watches the drama. ‘I think you should leave her alone for your safety Asher, she’s not like most teenagers, if you’re not careful you might actually end up dead’ Rita advises worried abo
‘Hey wake up!’Marco says slapping Mr. Joshua face numerous times. ‘Stop’ Mr. Joshua says drowsily forgetting where he was. He stood up and staggered for some minutes before he remembered where he was. ‘Holy shit’ he mumbled looking at his surroundings, he was on a roof top of a building …and oh hey look that’s his building over there. ‘Are you done analyzing?’ Lisa asks sipping her red wine. ‘what do you want Monalisa’ he asks her turning to face her only to see her sitting and sipping wine and marco standing. ‘To make your life a living hell’ she replied smirking. ‘I WILL…’ A loud explosion interrupted Mr. Joshua which made him look back and he had a shocked expression, he didn’t move for a few seconds before what had happened registered in his brain. ‘MY BUILDING, MY FAMILY’ he yelled kneeling down as he looks at his building which was in ruins. He stands up and run towards Lisa and kneels down. ‘Please Lisa tell me my family were not inside during the time of the explosion
Monalisa smiles opening the window of her room as she peeks outside and breathe the morning air. ‘What a beautiful morning to jog, thank God it’s Saturday no school’ she yells smiling removing her head from the window, she picks up her hair band and tie her jet black hair to a ponytail as she takes her headphone and goes out of her room. She happily strolls down the empty halls of her house; she climbs down the stairs and meets very one in the living room except Rita who was in the kitchen. ‘Morning mom’ Lisa yells greeting ‘Morning dear’ she replies back ‘Morning boss’ Amanda, luca and Kyra greets ‘Morning, where did Marco and those guys go’ Lisa asks looking around ‘They were needed urgently by Angelo so they had to go back to los Angeles’ Luca replied ‘and by the way, where are you going, I thought coach said we had to come to school’ Monalisa sighs suddenly remembering that she had to go to school to play a basketball game. She checks the time on her wristwatch and damn it
Jeremy looked at Lisa’s face nervously while Lisa looks at the shirt she was holding wondering if it was her size. ‘ Oh gosh’ Jeremy whispered. ‘What?’ Lisa whispered back ‘ I left my locker open’ he replied She rolled her eyes as soon as she heard his answer and they were now in an awkward silence, she didn’t care if those guys saw her but because of Jeremy she had to hide. ‘what the heck am I doing’ she thought looking at Jeremy who was worried ‘ I never do these type of things but since I met this guy, I’ve started behaving like a stupid person, I never say hi to people or do things to protect their reputation’ She looked at him one more time before wearing the shirt, when she was done wearing the cloth she looked at herself at the mirror in the bathroom and it looked big, what can she say, he was huge but not as huge as Angelo, that guy hugeness was on another level. ‘I think they are gone’ Jeremy said breaking the silence between them.. ‘Ok’ Lisa stated opening the door a
Amanda rolled around the king sized bed not opening her eyes and crashed into a body beside her, she groaned opening her eyes and yawning as she observes the foreign environment she was in. something or rather someone yawned behind her making her stay still. She had a hangover and sighed thinking if she had slept with someone last night. She remembered going back home to smoke and going to a club to get wasted and probably get laid but she was sure that her drunk self wouldn’t want to get laid with no other man except luca so who exactly was this guy sleeping inches away from her on the bed. She peeked under the lion skin duvet to see if she was naked and shivered looking away and looked at the room she was in. ‘I can’t just lay here not knowing who is beside me’ she thought sighing ‘guess I’ll have to check who it is’. She rolled and stares and the man’s back, determined to know who it was she yanked the duvet from the man’s body making the strange guy shiver at the sudden action
"This is bad" Rita replies frowning "that bastard, doesn't he knows he needs to use protection"."What should we do ma'am?" the doctor asks sighing "She's two weeks pregnant and the baby is weak...she needs a lot of rest"."Don't tell her anything yet" Rita says staring at the unconscious Susan "I'll tell her myself"."Okay ma'am" the doctor replies packing his tools "I'll take my leave now". As soon as the doctor leaves, Brian enters.Noticing the grim look on Rita's face he couldn't help but ask "Is anything the matter ma'am?""She's pregnant"."What!" Brian eyes widen in surprise "This changes a lot of things"."Uhm....we need to speed up our plans" Rita says as she massages her nape."Shouldn't we prepare for an abortion?" Brian asked worriedly.Rita frowned "As much as I don't want that monster's baby to be born we have no right to decide his life or death, the decision is in the hands of his mother"."But...""No buts Brian, you aren't a woman so you'll never understand... I pit
'I knew they did terrible things in the US but I had no idea they offended so many people in Russia' Monalisa states in surprise. 'Everyone is watching to see the outcome of Marco and the red bulls alliance' Alexei says with a smile. 'I feel like they are waiting for it to end badly' Monalisa says then she sips her drink. 'Yes they re waiting' Alexei replies 'rumors have spread all over the darknet that he might be the cause of your "alleged" death, they also say he would never be as good as you'. 'Well they are right about that, she says chuckling 'he also gets angry to easily, if he's not careful that anger will lead him to his death'. 'The way I see it, that anger is already leading him' Alexei replies with a smile 'i want to ask you a question'. 'Go ahead'. 'You know you could just live an ordinary life, you can just hide till everyone forget about you besides you're the step-daughter and Marco's the rightful heir why fight for something that should have never been yours in
At last, the mahogany door opened. Monalisa stepped out of the office while she held the door as support.She had a slash on her cheek, blood flowed from her nose and her knuckles were bruised.'Are you okay' Jeremy asked, he removed an handkerchief from his pocket and gave it to her.'I'm fine' Monalisa replied, she used the handkerchief to block blood from flowing out of her nose.'Whose scream was that?' Silvia asks worridly.'Whose do you think?' Lisa responded with a grin. Adrian eyes widen, he immediately rushes into his dad's office.Jeremy and Silvia followed Adrian. The once beautiful office was now a mess, Alexei is now sitting on a chair while his son checked out his injuries.'Oh my god' Jeremy blurted out the minute he saw Alexei's face. Alexei's face was messed up, his face was full of blood, his leg looked like it was broken.Jeremy covered his mouth then rushed out to go puke, the stuff he had just seen was to bloody for him.Adrian rushed out to get help but he didn't
'Oh my God' Monalisa muttered closing her eyes. She began to search for Jeremy but she couldn't find him. 'Where could he have gone' she asked herself as she massages her nape. Suddenly she sees a man's back which looked exactly like Jeremy's, not wasting time she rushed to the man and hits his back. 'Ooww' the guy cried out in pain, he then turns around to see who hit him. Monalisa sighs in relief when she saw it was Jeremy. 'Where the fuck did you go...Do you have any idea how worried I was when I couldn't find you' Monalisa says angrily. She continues to rant while Jeremy look at Silvia for help but in return Silvia glares at him. 'It's not like that Lisa, I saw someone we both know' Jeremy defends. Monalisa finally notices that Jeremy is sitting near a stall full of guns, she raises her eyebrow. 'And who might that be' she asks warily. 'ME!' a voice exclaimed behind them. Monalisa turns around, she widens her eyes when she sees who it is. 'Adrian' Lisa calls out in surpris
Luca walks outside the airport while a woman dressed in suit like he is drags his luggage. ‘I can’t believe I’m pretending to be your secretary’ the female murmured. ‘Deal with it Amanda’ luca responded entering the jeep Mr. Quinn sent to pick them up. Amanda also enters then the driver starts the car. Removing his glasses he looks outside the window ‘I can’t believe I’m doing this’. ‘But I must say you look cool…you fit the role perfectly’ Amanda replied staring at him while smiling seductively. ‘What are you doing’ luca asked looking at her weirdly. ‘What do you think’ Amanda replied, Luca shivered and looked away from her. An hour later the car arrived in Mr. Quinn mansion; both luca and Amanda come out of the jeep while Amanda drags his luggage. ‘Cousin’ luca called out with a smile, Mr. Quinn forced out a smile ‘Bradley…how was your journey’. ‘It was okay’ luca responded shaking Mr. Quinn’s hand with a cunning smile. A beautiful woman comes out of the mansion; she looks a
The picture contains evidence of embezzlement, using public funds to develop lush homes, illegal drug deals and sex with minors.Mr. Quinn snatches the phone from luca then smashes luca phone on the floor.‘Luca why are they always fucking stupid’ Amanda asked.‘No idea’ luca replied.‘do you think we are stupid, we’ve backed up everything we showed you’ Angelo said ‘and one more thing if we do not walk out of this building alive or we get arrested our team will spread this to the public and you know the public likes this kind of juicy news’.‘Your reputation will be ruined’ Amanda added ‘besides if you want people to vote for you your reputation should be good to a certain degree’.Mr. Quinn quakes in anger as they all smile.‘So choose to help us or…we’ll release the news to the press and you’ll go to jail’ luca says smiling sheepishly ‘your choice Mr. Quinn’.‘I’ll help you’ Mr. Quinn whispers.‘I didn’t hear you’ luca says ‘did you hear him guys’.‘No’ Amanda and Angelo says shaki
‘They have doctors here too’ Jeremy asks in surprise. ‘Of course they have doctors, you don’t expect assassins to go to the hospital for receiving bullet wounds or blade wounds’ Monalisa states sitting beside Jeremy. ‘You Cosa Nostra’s have doctors too’ Jeremy states. ‘yes we do, we have an hospital at the back of the mansion, you do not expect us to go to normal hospital for treatment’ Monalisa replies ‘you should take a hot water bathe it will relieve your pain’. ‘Would you like to take it with me’ Jeremy asks jokingly as he holds Lisa’s hand. ‘You fuckin pervert’ Monalisa replies removing his grip from her hands as she stands up immediately. Jeremy laughs as Monalisa raises her hand to give him the fuck you sign. Marco got out of his car angrily. He stared at the mansion right in front of him and entered; when he entered he saw various maids but he ignored them. Alas he saw an old man sitting on the couch talking to a well-built man; the old man sees him then smiles. ‘Marco
‘Sir what should we do’ one of the masked guys asked and the leader shushed him.‘Who are you?’ the leader asked staring at Monalisa.‘Me…my name is Monalisa del-a-Cruz’ she replied honestly.‘Look girl, if you are trying to deceive me better think again… choose one, die now or die a painful death’.‘Aish’ Monalisa groaned ‘you guys should really listen to me, I’m no ordinary person’.She immediately slits the throat of the guy whom she held hostage. As the man drop dead the men widens their eyes in surprise. Smiling, Monalisa brings out a gun from her waist then kisses it.‘Let’s do this’.As the three masked Alsaamitas where about to move they heard a voice which said; ‘what are you guys doing’? They all turned around to see who talked, the person who talked is a huge guy who wore white shirt and black pants, he also had his blonde hair packed in a ponytail.‘Angelo, they wanna kill me’ Monalisa states pointing at the three masked men. Angelo eyes the dead body on Monalisa’s feet a
Susan, Marco and Rita are seated in the dining room eating; the silence is an awkward one. Susan glanced at Rita from time to time while Marco behaved as if he did not notice the unusual silence. Glancing at Marco Rita asked ‘who’s this beautiful young lady Marco’? ‘Just friend from college’ Marco replied unbothered ‘Just a friend uh... I could hear you guys moan from my room’. Susan exhaled looking at Marco who glared at his mother. ‘Mom I…’ ‘You should restrict your sexual desire, it hasn’t been a month since your sister died and you are doing this, people would start to think you are happy Monalisa is dead’ Rita said interrupting him. His grip tightens on his spoon. ‘I’ve lost my appetite’ Rita stated standing up with the help with of Brian. Susan watched as his face twitched and his veins bulged out. He threw a glass cup on the floor which made Susan flinch. Suddenly he stood up and dragged Susan out. As they walked Susan winced, he held her hand tightly and it hurt like he
