You must be Mr. Carlos and I'm not surprised because my boss warned me about you.” I took out the gun. When I turned to look at Vito, the same thing was happening to him. They took a gun out of his pocket and pushed him towards me. “He's free. Only his phone can go in with him. Those were the words of Mr. Frank. Let them pass.” The stubborn-looking man allowed me. We turned around to get the car but one stopped us on his way, leaving me to wonder when it became a crime to take my car with me into the compound. “You can't drive in.” “And why
CARLOSThe day had finally come. The day when a few out of the many bad eggs in the city will be arrested.The thought of it alone made me smile and I could not help but jump off the bed with so much excitement running around inside of me. “Vito?” I called when he picked up his call. “You're sure there's nothing we're forgetting, is it?” A smile pulled on my countenance and I led my way to the closet so that I could grab my towel. “Yes, Boss. Everything is in order.”“Good.” I ended the call since there was nothing else to say, and now I led my way to the bathroom door with the same smile that plastered on my countenance with hopes of not leaving soon. When I was done, I got ready for the show itself. My phone was beeping. I rushed to the screen to take a peep and there was a call from Seraphina who had been trying to reach me long before now. “Don't scare me like that again, Carlos.” “I'm sorry, baby. Good morning. I just got ready. Waiting for Vito to get here so we can leave
CARLOS“Welcome to my home.” “Thank you, Mr. Carlos—” the man greeted and took a seat on one of the couches. What do I do next? “What do I offer you?” “Water, please.” He begged and I relaxed on the couch as well. “Water is enough.” “Jenny?” “Yes, sir.” Jenny opened the kitchen door and walked out. “Mr. Carlos. You called me.” “Yes, Jenny. Serve my guest a bottle of chilled water. The weather is not good for the ordinary or would you like the ordinary, Mr. Matthew?” “No, Jenny. Chilled please.” When Jenny was gone, I looked at the watch I was wearing on my wrist and then heaved a sigh. “I'm so sorry for the delay. I'm waiting for Vito. He was the one who reached out to you on my behalf. Thank you also, Mr. Matthew, for coming.” “No, don't say that. It's the least I could do.” The front door opened immediately. “Gentlemen,” Vito led his way in. “I'm so sorry for coming late.” He took a seat on a couch and let out. “I needed to fix something permanently before leaving my ho
SERAPHINA I woke up from my sleep with a slight headache. One that made me want to puke. Sitting up on the bed, I looked around the room while trying so hard to recall where I was. Then, I noticed I was in my room—a place that shouldn't align with where I was supposed to be. Shouldn't I be with Carlos? In his car or something. A sigh ran out of my mouth as I picked up my phone from the bed so that I could look at the time. There and then, I saw a message from Carlos who announced a meal waiting downstairs in my dining space. He brought me home. It dawned on me. A smile from nowhere came on my countenance. The smile faded moments later when I noticed the time on the screen. It was another morning. I slept from yesterday afternoon up till now. How was that even possible? There was no strength left in me to react, and I was standing up and walking to the closet so that I could grab my towel before bathing. Did I need to make it to work? It was my shop and I had the right to n
CARLOS“If there's anything we should be doing, Nonna,” I got on my feet. “It's thanking Seraphina for risking her life to be in a room with the most dangerous Sam Giancana just so she could get that recording. And can you stop crying?” The older woman wiped her eyes. “Thank you, my child. Thank you.” Finally, she said the right words to Seraphina who was scared of meeting her from the onset of this meeting. “Thank you, ma'am. It's nothing.” “I'll be right back—” I walked towards the stairs with the bag that had guns in it. Then I stopped in my tracks and turned around to look at Vito who was relaxed on the couch. “Come with me, Vito.” After a short while, we stood in the space of a room. “I'm sure this is a better place—” I gave the man the bag and walked to a corner of the room. “Bring that for me—” I ordered and the man walked closer, handing the bag to me. “Thank you.” I opened a small place where I used to hide my stuff when I visited Nonna—long ago when I was younger. “Thi
SERAPHINA After a long drive through the streets of the city, Vito stopped at the entrance of a large estate. “I was forced to put her in a house here because of their safety—” the voice of a man woke—a man who was seated next to me and happened to be the man I loved, sounded in my ears. He woke me up from my thoughts and I was forced to look in his direction. “Oh. That's nice.” I managed a smile and looked out the windows while once again, Vito drove through the estate, house by house, until we stopped at a gate. “This is Nonna's house.”Could Carlos stop snapping me out of my thoughts? I didn't want to sound rude to him so I did not bother making a fuss about it, but rather gave a nod and looked forward to the next moment when we would hop down. It happened moments later. For the first time since I made up my mind to come out with these men, I was scared of seeing Nonna. What would she think about me? Wicked? Wicked for causing all of these in the first place? Because if I di
CARLOS“This is good, Seraphina. Thank you so much.” She nodded and looked around. I didn't need someone to tell me she was scared of being caught and that was why she looked around her. I coughed. “No one knows you're here, baby. Can you give it a rest already? I made a promise to you already that nothing will come to you, not even a scratch and I expect you to trust me, mm?” She relaxed her back on the chair and gave a nod. “I understand. Thank you, Carlos. Didn't you say Vito was coming over? How come he's not here yet?” She sat back up and looked around the living room in the large apartment. “I am here—” someone's voice sounded from the door. It was none other than Vito who led his way into the living room with a smile on his countenance, and a bucket of food. “I came with the food, Boss.” He looked in my direction before facing Seraphina who had relaxed back on the chair. “Hello, Seraphina. Good afternoon and how are you doing today?” “Very well, thank you.” “Jenny?!” I s
SERAPHINA It didn't take long for the car to stop. It took long, actually. But it was worth the wait. I stepped out when Isabella announced. When I did, I looked around the space to be certain of my safety - looking for possible doors to exit and run out from if there was such a need. I prayed there wasn't any. “Come on, Sera.” The words of Isabella snapped me out of my thoughts and I walked in front. No, by her side since she was the one leading us. “Welcome, ma'am.” The woman at the reception hall greeted Isabella. She looked at me with a warm smile. “Welcome, ma'am.” “Thank you.” I simply greeted. “We're here for Frank and Sam. I'm sure you recognize me but for official purposes, I have to do it again. We're here for Frank and Sam.” “Who are you to him?” Isabella chuckled. “His girlfriend. And with me here is my best friend. Can we go see him now?” “You should have patience ma'am. I recall you but we should do it the right way because the recording system must have all t
SERAPHINA It's been one week and I had yet to hear from Isabella which wasn't supposed to be so. During the weekend, I made up my mind to reach out to the woman and maybe see if she had caught me snitching on them. What would happen if this was the matter? “Hello, Sera.” “Hi, Isabella. How are you?” “I'm very well. How are you too?” I thought about it. What to say. Then I opened my mouth to let her know that I was fine. “I'm doing alright, best friend. I just thought of reaching out to you. You know it's been long since we talked. I mean, the last time you were at the shop.” “Yeah, Sera. I'm sorry I haven't reached out. But myself and the rest of the team have been very busy with the tasks and plans before that day. And as a matter of fact, I was going to reach out to you today, but you've done that instead.” I heaved a sigh. It was a relief. It was a relief that the woman did not notice anything I was doing behind their backs, yet. Because one way or the other,
Serafina's Pov“I can't believe, Sera, that you didn't even get dressed. How about the clothes I bought you? You know those were beautiful,” my best friend Isabella Moretti said bitterly; she had invited me to a masked party. A Halloween party, I had come from work and didn't have the chance to change into something.Yeah, I wasn't prepared like every other person with pretty clothes and fancy masks on their faces. There was loud music while some spoke at the corner; some made out while the rest drenched themselves on alcohol, swindling their bodies to the beating of the song that played. I kept wondering why I was here; I felt out of place. This wasn't the kind of place I wanted, but with Isabella whines.I happened to be summoned to her pressure. She was my best friend, but we were two best friends from different worlds. She lived her life to the fullest with zero worries, like it was going to end that day.Silly, she enjoyed the life of the party while I worked my ass out at the ba...
