Nicolas I was ready to tear Ben a new one, when he was hesitant to talk in front of Anaya, making her leave the office. She did not complain or whine, but it did not sit well with me that she thought she needed to leave the office so we could talk. Adrian looked at Ben and shook his head. “That was an asshole move, man.” Ben protested, “What? I didn’t say anything!” Adrian replied and cast a squinting look at Ben. “You know what you did!” “I never thought of you as a liar, Ben,” I replied as I walked over to the coffee machine in the corner. I poured a sizable cup for myself and sipped it. I took a few more seconds to calm myself so that I would not explode at my friend and also to savor Ben’s terrified and regretful expression. Ben murmured, “I am sorry, boss. I don’t have anything against Anaya, I assure you. She is the most tender and kind person I have ever met.” Adrain scoffed, “And how do you repay her? By questioning her presence?” I’ve been trying to make sense of the is
Anaya “I am not sure anymore that you do,” I whispered. I was aware that the statement was entirely bogus. I only wanted him to understand how difficult it is to discover truths through doors repeatedly. He made a promise to me, but he broke it. “Anaya,” he choked. The look on his face conveyed how much my words hurt him. “You already know that’s not true.” I step back from him to gather my thoughts because the look he is giving me is too painful for me to handle. I can’t pour my emotions into the air when all he does is hide things from me. “It’s ironic, Nicolas. You claim to despise liars, but you lie all the time.” “I did not lie!” he responded, taking a step forward. I took a step back and said, “Oh yes, you just hide the truth from me again and again.” In response to the sarcasm in my voice, his fists clenched. He hates it when I do it, and I know that. I was walking back while he was moving forward toward me. My back hit the wall, and I gasped when he was standing just inche
Nicolas I was trying to make sense of the mountain of work that had been eating away at my head since the morning in my office. I have to finish it as fast as possible and get back to my darling wife. I told her yesterday about the spy we had in her father’s Mafia, and she took it like a mature adult. I was surprised to find that she had forgiven me. I was relieved when she admitted that whatever I had done was for the good of my gang. I’ve been working on making amends with her ever since. We have set up some ground rules for our relationship. I accepted with no reservation. To be honest, I was willing to do anything to keep her at my side. Damn, I am whipped! Omega6’s services have been withdrawn. Omega6 was happier than we were to learn it. The spy was no longer willing to betray the Costa Mafia because Omega6 was actually in love with them. I could have said that the epiphany arrived years too late, but I chose not to. Since the spy poses no threat to us, we have left them to th
Anaya "Told you, hotshot," I smirked as I turned to face Harmony. I changed my expression to emotional. She was apprehensive about speaking, but I felt she had something to say and only needed some encouragement. "He... Marcus took me to a motel once when he was in a hurry. I think it was quite far. I was blindfolded, but I can tell you the time. It was evening on the third of last month," she hesitated. The fear in her eyes made me feel guilty for whatever she was suffering through. I wanted to help her in some way. "Thank you, Harmony," I said. "Can you give us a minute?" I pulled Nicolas to the side. "Everything okay, kitten?" he enquired while sporting a puzzled expression. "Can we help her in any way, baby?" I asked. "She seems to be terrified of this person, and perhaps she will be useful in some other way." He groaned, "Even if you had the most sincere of intentions, we still can't put our faith in her. She is a stranger and also knows someone in the enemy camp. We can off
Nicolas My phone's incessant buzz woke me. It was Ben who called. I answered his call. "Boss, we're ready," he declared. I questioned, "Ready for what?" He responded, "Uh, the meeting we had with the new buyers. Did you forget?" "Shit! I will be there in ten minutes," I said and cut the call. Damn, how can I forget this? When I turned around, I noticed my wife sleeping. She looked like an angel while sleeping. When I remembered the events of the day before, my thoughts became jumbled once more. My wife is smart and articulate. I had no idea she was capable of it. She is unique in many ways. She is training hard and now she is helping me in mafia business. She is ready to take the oath. We need to plan it soon. I sighed and woke up. Taking a shower, I dressed in an elegant black suit. As I slung my guns in my holster and one around my ankle, I exited the walk-in closet. Anaya was still sleeping, so I wrote her a message notifying her of my meeting. Kissing her forehead, and said,
Anaya I kept dialing the number again, but it was unsuccessful. I screamed and tossed my phone to the ground. We dashed to the Jeep to find Nicolas. Ad, Cia, and one of the commanders named Frank were all armed to the teeth, with firearms strapped to every inch of their bodies. Ad taped the conversation between Scar and me so that we could listen for any hints. Frank played it, and he understood the gravity of the situation and ordered the guys to prepare. I was a disaster. That phone call terrified me because I knew what would happen if we didn’t get to Nicolas quick enough. We need to get there immediately. I followed Cia as she attempted to climb into the vehicle. “Anaya, you must stay here. You have never been to an attack,” Cia said. Cia was in full badass mode, with bombs hidden in her jacket. She herself was a walking bomb. “Nicolas is in danger, and I will not stand by and do nothing. Besides, I can stay in the car. Please, just take me with you. Please,” I pleaded. My face
Nicolas A stinging pain shot through my back, making me wince. The fuck is that? I slowly peel my eyes open and adjust to the darkness of the room. Moonlight shining through the window above was the only source of light. Where was I? I made an attempt to stand, but something stopped me. What is stopping me? When I looked down, I saw myself kneeling with my legs restrained. “What the fuck!” I hissed. My throat felt as if it were being dragged over sandpaper. My hands felt numb. I noticed my hands were tethered to the wall when I looked up. When I attempted to move the cuffs, they dug deeper into my wrists. I was completely naked from the waist up. My entire body was in pain. This situation feels oddly familiar. Everything came flooding back to me. The meeting, the attack, and Scar. That filthy bastard kidnapped me. He killed my men, and he kidnapped me. Shit! Ben was with me at the meeting. He murdered Ben. No! No! No! “Where the fuck are you, asshole?” I yelled. I heard footsteps
Anaya “I will lead,” I declared, taking everyone by surprise. A deafening silence pervaded the air. Though I understand their surprise, I have a plan. We need a plan that will take us right to Nicolas, and I have to be in control of that. The first one to break the silence was Cantoli. “Excuse me?” he asked. He sure had a creepy look about him. “You want to be the boss of the Ricci Mafia?” He stood up and raised his hands in frustration. I wanted to break his nose because of the way he asked the question. Condescending jerk! “You have a problem with that?” He scoffed. Did he just show me attitude? “This is the Mafia, not a Barbie house for you to play with, Mrs. Ricci. Many men and women depend on us. We have businesses and dealings to carry out. That is too much for a woman to handle.” Okay. He only dared me to prove him wrong. “You did not just say that, Cantoli?” Adrian growled. “Our boss is kidnapped, and you are trying to undermine the person who is most motivated to get him
