ANTONIO"So you didn't see her since then?" Miranda spoke softly as she watched me narrate how my sister had gone missing.“I didn't but I knew for a start she was taken away. I knew someone was behind it but I never knew who it was.”I never thought of going to Don Vito's place.That was simply because of the missing items which I made a promise to bring back to him.My mind never thought Don Vito could be behind it.He wasn't such to do so.I was his godson for goodness sake.We don't harm family.Not just a mafia code but a bond.“Why would Don do such to me?”I paced around the room.So he had Carmela in his custody all those years and didn't say a word to me.For a full year, I searched every corner of the earth for her but couldn't find her.At some point, I became discouraged and sad.There was no news of her kidnap.Nobody saw her.Nobody saw anything.I had no choice but to report to the police.But there were still no positive results.Virtually, every mafia crib was raided.
MIRANDA“Bring her out!”“That slutty bitch. Bring her out!”Those were the cold and harsh words of Don Vito as two tattoed men barged into the room and dragged me out.“Please don't kill me!” I pleaded as the men kept hitting my leg while they pushed me out the door.My heart kept racing.I couldn't find Antonio.This was the time I needed him the most. To save me from this danger.I was about to lose my life in front of this devil in human skin!I watched Don Vito puff his cigar into the air.He walked up to me and pulled my hair.“You are one sneaky bitch. I would enjoy watching my men torture you before I kill you myself,” he said.The evil in his eyes was true and frightening.Fear overtook my bones and I felt like sinking to the ground.“Will this be the end of me?”“My life wasted just like that? So at the end of the day, I end up being killed by the same man who murdered my only sister?”I wept as I stood in front of Don Vito who was busy blowing the smoke of his cigar on my f
DON VITO"How many times have I warned you not to appear before me without giving me a call?""You can't just show up. You are not Antonio. Only my godson has the liberty of doing that.""What are you even doing here in the first place?" I asked the young man. "I have brought you information as usual," he answered."And you didn't think you telling me beforehand was wise? What if Antonio was here with me?""Wouldn't that have wrecked all of my secret plans? Uhn?" I spoke in a loud tone."Boss, I am sorry but I had to quickly come and tell you this. I couldn't make any calls where I was, boss," the young man said hastily."What is this about? Be quick," I shouted.I was expecting some hookers and a ton of cash to arrive that hour.I didn't want anyone to know about it including the fellow standing in front of me."Boss, we already have the man. He is in the torture room," one of my men walked into the room and said."Just hold him there. I'll join you guys soon," I answered in haste.
MIRANDAI wonder what Antonio wants to tell me.He hasn't been home for the past two days.I miss him.As weird as that may have sounded,I actually do miss him.His touch.His voice.Even the way he cautions me when I go against his simple instructions.I hugged the bedsheets so tightly. I squeezed them in my hands and inhaled the fragrance out of them.His cologne still spreads around the room and on the sheets.He had become a part of me already even though his presence only threatened me and made me feel scared.I have become so glued to having him around so I feel empty when he is not.Let's not go to the sex.As much as I hate him and wish to escape his grasp, I enjoy every moment of it.It was as though he had cursed me with his charm and now I am left trapped in his sexiness and beauty.The way he handles me is one of a kind.I can't seem to get it out of my head.A feeling I hold onto whenever I want to While I was wandering in my thoughts, I heard a voice from outside my r
MIRANDAQuick.Making sure he didn't notice anything, I rushed to put back the contents of the purse in it.As soon as I saw him coming, I acted like I was focused on the flowers so I strolled my hands through them.The first thing he went to was his phone.I could see the look on his face as I glared at him with my side-eye.“Boss called?” He asked.“Hmmm…what a scope!” I thought.I didn't answer. I acted like I didn't hear his question.I have been around Antonio and his men for too long to know their schemes and ways of finding out things.I could say I had become smarter staying in that mansion and watching things play out in front of me.He picked up his phone and went away.It was obvious he didn't want me to listen to his conversation.But I had my plans too.Ever since my plan to escape failed, I had totally become Antonio's own.Watching over his back and finding out things for him even though he didn't tell me to.I knew how much he loved his sister and I know he is out for
DON VITOSOME YEARS AGO,“Bring her in.”“I hope you did a neat job. No one saw you?”“Not at all,” Danny answered.Danny is one of my secret agents who does dirty jobs for me.Smuggling, Kidnapping, Murdering.He was good, sharp, and fast.He was the right person to do this job.I know how much Antonio loves and protects his sister.I already had him disoriented after I made one of my men at his place steal the suitcase.I needed to shake him a bit.Not even shake him.I needed him to be totally committed and submissive.“I want to be his everything. His godfather. His only family.”That his sister seems to be taking up his attention and focus from me and the businessI need his head in the game.“Boss, are we really doing…doing this? Antonio is….” Danny said.“Shut it. You don't know Antonio as much as I do. What I do with him, how I handle him is none of your business.”“His sister shall be here with me till I am tired of her and satisfied before I release her.”“That is if I decid
ANTONIOI exhaled.Am I scared?Despite knowing all it takes is for me to pull out my gun and blow his brains out?Am I really scared?Well yes. Not to act. Not the fear of pulling a gun out on him.It's more than that.I have a family to protect. At least the only family left.I have Miranda who is also carrying my unborn child.Don Vito must not know of Miranda.Don Vito was the last person I was expecting to be here today.His visit was sudden, strange, and quite suspicious.I got downstairs. Signaling to my men to stand at their utmost guard.“I need your heads up. Every single one of you. Don is right outside,” I said to my men.“On guard. Maximum guard. I don't want to see any of you jesting or whatever. Have I made myself clear?!” I said aloud as I made my way to the entrance gate.“Open the gate!” I instructed my gate man who stood at attention waiting for my order.His convoy of cars rolled in. “What is all these for?”This has to be planned.“Antonio,” Don Vito alighted from
MIRANDA"Please don't go. What if he catches you?" Karen shivered, holding my hands."I won't let him see me. Just don't lose hope, sis. I'm going to get help and come back for you. Just stay safe, please," I promised, encouraging my kid sister.It's been fourteen years since we lost our home and our parents to that monster called Don Vito.A deadly, dangerous man. He wiped our family and took Karen and me as his hostage.For fourteen years he has been maltreating my sister and me, threatening to end us both if we go against him.This life of torment and suffering, I can no longer take it anymore. So, I came up with a plan to escape.I planned on taking Karen along, but she's just too scared to move. She's afraid of Don Vito spotting and harming us both.I can understand her fear. The poor girl has been in trauma for years. The pains, torments, abuse..."Just stay here. I promise to bring back help. Together we'll leave this city and head to a better place, okay?""Okay," Karen nodded
