ISABELLA

The weekend, like a hurricane, arrived.

It was the evening and time for my date. This wasn't a date but a meeting with Frank who called me a while ago to announce the coming of his driver who had to be on his way.

Standing in front of the mirror in my room, I admired one of the new outfits I chose to wear for the cause of this meeting.

What more could I ask for?

A smile came on my countenance. It disappeared when my phone began to beep and I looked up. Now, down on the bed where it was to see a call from a number I had likely not spoken to before.

“Yes?”

“Hello, ma'am. I'm the driver here to take you.”

“Oh—” I mouthed. “Give me some time and I will join you outside.” Then I ended the call before rushing to the bed where my purse was placed all this while, and then I led my way to the door of my bedroom, out and through the stairs.

When I was in the living room, I could hear the honking of a car's horn.

It had to be the one I was waiting for.

“Good evening, ma'am.”

  • Mafia's Wrong girl    Chapter 55

    ISABELLA I have heard about the famous Sam Giancana all my life but I had not set eyes on him. He was dangerous, they said. But could he show up already? From the way they sounded, he was my type of man. A don and all of that—just as I thought Carlos was my type of man. Not any longer. He had lost all his movies and investments. What did that make him if not a loser? A smile came on my countenance. I was trying to keep a good countenance so that Sam Giancana did not suspect me as weak. I was not weak but I was a woman who should be weak or should it not be? I dropped my purse on the table and talked with Frank who told me what to do and what not to do in the presence of Sam. Suddenly, the door opened. Fragrance filled the room. The fragrance of someone who walked in new. He smelt rich. What else could I ask for? I smiled and inhaled, exhaled before inhaling once more. Suddenly, Frank was on his feet. Without being told, I joined him and looked at Sam who was now on the ot

    SERAPHINA The day I and Isabella would meet came. Waking up, I had the happiest mood anyone could ever have, especially on this day. Dragging my feet to the closet, I took out a towel and reached the bathroom for my bath. The location was my shop. The new location. Where else was it supposed to be? I didn't trust Isabella well enough to go to some other place with her. The same way I knew she didn't trust me, or did she? A smile on my countenance when I walked out of the bathroom, told me how close myself and Carlos were to getting what we needed to have. My phone began to beep. Who called me at this time of the morning? I never really got calls from people, talk more about this early. I dragged my feet to the bed, picked up the phone, and looked at its screen. Carlos. Now what? “Hey. Good morning.” “Good morning, beautiful. How are you?” “Ready. Very ready.” That was my response. “How are you too? I didn't forget what we talked about. My recording app is always ready to

    CARLOS“YES!” I screamed over the phone at Seraphina. “This is more than beautiful, Seraphina. I finished listening to it a while ago and all I can say is, you're good at anything you want to do.” She laughed. “Thank you, Carlos. But can you imagine? Can you see what they want to do to you?” I laughed. “I can see that, baby. It's not going to happen so there's no need at all to be worried if you asked me. We must come up with something before Nonna's birthday. It's a good thing you'll be there. The woman has asked after you so much.” “I miss her too. I would love to see and spend some time with her although it's not going to happen at the birthday party.” “Who says it cannot happen at the party?” “How—how do you mean?” My woman stuttered. “Who says it can happen and how? We're not supposed to say a word to each other, Carlos. Is it your wish to put me in trouble?” “When the FBI are done with their jobs, you can hold conversations with Nonna.” I got off the bed and walked to

    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,

    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

    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

  • Mafia's Wrong girl    Chapter 61

    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“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

    CARLOSOf all the things she could say to me, I didn't expect this one from her. There was shock on my face even though I tried so hard to hide it. “I—” I stuttered. “I'm glad to hear you say that.” One part of me forgot already how much I loved this woman, why then didn't I say it back? I leaned and took a seat right on the bed and next to her. “Seraphina, I don't need to say it to you before you know and understand how much I love you.” The look on her countenance brightened. She heaved a sigh and nodded. “I thought you were never going to say that, Carlos. I thought I lost my chance with you.” She touched me slightly and then laid her back on the bed. “Thank you.” What could I say? Whatever good mood I was in before, increased. As I got off the bed, my gaze did not remove from the face of a woman whose eyes were shut. It won't take long for her to sleep and I didn't want to disturb or distract her, so I led my way out of the room, catching up with the stairs in moments.“Mr.

    SERAPHINA “You don't have to if you don't—”Before he could complete the statement, I kissed him with the last ounce of strength I had in me. I would wrap my legs around him if I could. But I couldn't because we were in the car. My lips only covered his and it lasted for moments before we broke off—shock on his countenance. “I'm sorry—” I sat up. “No, no, Seraphina. It's not a problem.” Nodding, I relaxed my back on the couch. Then, Carlos let out. “Cameras are everywhere in this estate although it shouldn't bother us but I don't want us being watched from the headquarters kissing each other like we don't have manners.” A soft laugh ran out of my mouth. That was funny. I was tired. I didn't say much. But the last thing I noticed was Vito walking towards us with a piece of cake in his hand. And then I passed out on my seat. The next time I opened my eyes, I was lying on the bed in a room I didn't and wouldn't recognize. Not until I was told where I was. I should be scared.

  • Mafia's Wrong girl    Chapter 70

    CARLOSThe door pushed open in a rush. The men who watched over the door, armed, walked in, pointing their guns. Myself, Sera, and Vito who had guns in our hands did not stop pointing them at the people who were now on their feet—dragged towards the door by the policemen Matthew came with. “You cannot take us!” Frank shouted at the top of his voice, trying to get off the man who didn't let go of him for a moment. “You can't take us without telling us what we've done. I have a right to know!”I laughed, dropped my gun, and walked towards the door. “You're a fool if you think these men and I haven't planned long before now.” I looked behind me to see Vito holding Seraphina from falling as she could be shocked from everything that had happened in the space of two hours. The policeman let Frank be. But many people pointed guns at him. He did not dare run unless, of course, he wanted to be shot in the legs—just like I had done Isabella. “Mr. Frank Gotti, you're under arrest.” “What

  • Mafia's Wrong girl    Chapter 69

    SERAPHINA I shouted at the top of my voice. Not because I was held captive by Frank, but because a woman who should be but wasn't my best friend had been shot in her leg. Was I supposed to be mad at Carlos? No, I couldn't be. Why did Isabella try to run? I looked at the man who pointed a gun at Frank. But he could not shoot or make the mistake of shooting because I could be shot in the process. Either by Vito himself or the man holding me. “Ask your boy to drop his gun or I shoot your girl,” Frank ordered with a triumphant laugh running out of his mouth. “For a moment, I thought my own was done for. Well, I guess it isn't. Ask your stupid boy to drop his gun. Don't you value the life of this woman here? I thought you loved her.” “Vito—” Carlos looked at him. “Drop the gun.” “Boss—” “Drop the gun!” Without thinking twice or hesitating like before, Vito dropped the gun to the floor. He looked up to look at me, making a reassuring sign I had no choice but to nod. “I have droppe

    CARLOS“Tada!” I laughed in victory. Another person who laughed was Vito who I knew waited so much for this day to come. “What's going on here?” That was Frank's voice. He was shocked and I could see that. In the same way, there should have been a shocked Isabella who had started shaking from the very moment. So she wasn't strong. I should have known. I knew, but was surprised. “You're saying you don't know what's going on?” A chuckle escaped my mouth. I looked at Isabella before facing them. “Why not tell me what you two were up to a while ago? No, for months. Why don't you want to start talking?” “I don't know what you're talking about—” Frank did not agree. He looked me in the eyes and told that lie that made me burst into laughter again. “I was only coming to save you from dying. Why would you think I was up to something?” “Oh, my bad, brother.” I got up so that I could face him well. And then, I recalled at that moment Nonna was in the same room as us. “Call me the maid,

    SERAPHINA “Yes, I'll be the one in charge of serving drinks. My best friend here will assist me as well.”“You heard that right—” Frank said to Carlos who didn't stop looking at his best friend and secondhand man. “Do you have an issue with that, Carlos? Is there something you want to tell us?” “And why is that question directed at me?” Carlos walked away after this question. He then reached the diner table and looked at me once in a while, while serving himself a glass of water before settling into one of the chairs. “The party is about to start.” “No,” Nonna looked at Frank who made that statement. “I shifted it to three hours later, but I may have changed my mind already. Thank you so much for this beautiful cake, Frank—” Nonna winked at the worst human she would ever know. I could not help but think of Nonna as an actress. For a moment, I believed she would not do a perfect job like we imagined should be done. But this woman was doing more than a good job. More than one woul

    CARLOSThe way the man looked at me almost made me question if he was the one sent all the way from the station by Matthew who had not yet come. “Good morning, gentlemen.” “Good morning to you, too, mister.” He took out another tool and commanded. “Raise up your hands so the machine can do its job.” I did just that, waiting for the machine to make a noise, and just as I counted down from three, it stopped at one. “Take that out, Mr. Carlos. 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
