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 I fell.I didn't know what happened.The only thing I remember was me trying to catch my breath inside the wardrobe I was locked in.I was scared.That sound. I hope Antonio isn't in trouble with that sound I just made.I couldn't feel my legs.I lay there like a helpless being.My whole body was numb.I tried to lift myself off the ground but I couldn't.It was like there was a heavy load on my back.I tried to reach out to the bed poles but I was too far from them.Before I knew what was happening, I heard footsteps approaching.The person was in a hurry from the sound of his feet on the stairs.Fear gripped me on that spot.If that was Antonio then I am in big trouble.Or wait, could it be Don?Does he know already?I tried again to get up.I groaned in pain.Suddenly, the door opened and Xander came in.I gave a sigh of relief.Some seconds ago, my heart almost jumped out of my heart."Xander, help," I spoke softly."Ma'am, you have to be quiet. Don Vito is right downstai
XANDER"What's the issue with you?""Don't you know you could put me in trouble?""Why the fuck would you be calling at that hour? We had an agreement!""What if Antonio creeps in and finds me talking to you? How do I get myself out of that mess?"I lashed heavily at the man who stood in front of me.He was sent by Don Vito to get my daily report on Dante's movement and plans."You still haven't given me anything, Mr.Man. What do I tell Don?" The fellow said."So all I am saying doesn't mean anything to you?"He didn't respond. He just stood there like he was going to shoot me after I told him everything."Your report, Xander?""I have no report," I replied angrily.He scoffed."No report? What the heck are you saying?""Do you want my head blown off? How do you expect me to go back to him with such?" the young man said."Oh, so you know that too? That's exactly how it feels when you disturb me with your calls. That could land me in trouble with Antonio and his…."Shit! I had to stop
MIRANDAI blinked.Not once, not twice but multiple times like there was something inside my eyes.I stared around. At least this time around, I didn't wake around to see white coats and blue ray glasses.I was tucked in bed. Neatly dressed and clean. I wonder who brought me here.Could it have been Xander? The last thing I remember was tripping and falling.And yes, Don Vito!!!His name alone in my head sent shivers down my spine. I would strangle the neck of that demon if I ever lay hold of him.The man who tortured me in my dreams and will still be sought to do more if he ever finds out I am alive.I looked around and saw the grey couch far away from its usual position in the room.It had been drawn closer to the bed."Wow, looks like I got myself a babysitter while I blanked out," I said to myself.I stretched my hands towards the couch to pick up the blue handkerchief on it.This was definitely Antonio's. It had his mafia insignia. It was always part of his dressing, most especia
CRISTO“Drive Faster Vance, we need to get there on time” I said, worried that we might be late to meet Antonio at his Mansion.“Take a chill pill, Cristo, I'm on high speed already, Do you want us to crash?" Vance asked.Vance was right, if he sped any further, we would crash. Besides, it was my fault we were late.I fell sick, vomiting due to what I ate, which didn't agree with my stomach. Vance had to stop several times so I could puke and catch my breath.“It's ten minutes to twelve," I gasped.“We are almost there," Vance said as he swerved the Lambo to the right, taking a shortcut.In less than seven minutes, we were at Antonio's Mansion.“You're one hell of a driver" I praised Vance, my voice tinged with relief and admiration.“You can say that again, Man," Vance replied, with a big smile on his face.Antonio's bodyguards walked towards us and carried out their routine search, before asking us to follow them to the living room.We sat down and were offered drinks. Vance took a
CRISTOThe most important days in a man's life are the day he is born and the day he dies.No man knows the day he will die.With Don Vito's revolver pointed at my head, my thoughts raced between life and death.My conscience was clear; I knew I was no traitor and I would face death with honor.“One, two…”As Don Vito pulled the trigger, I heard no sound and felt no impact. I opened my eyes to find a grinning Don Vito, who said,“You have passed my test, Cristo, get up for your next mission"All along, it was a test of my loyalty. The Mafia world was no playground, and Don Vito was a master of its treacherous game."Thank you Boss. I'm honored”. I replied, grateful to have survived.Don Vito nodded, dismissing me for the night with a final order to pick up my next assignment in the morning. As I took my leave, I gave him a final salute of gratitude.I rose at dawn the next day and waited outside Don Vito's room, ready to receive my next assignment.Vance, the sly fox, smiled at me as
ANTONIO“Cristo” I muttered under my breath.He flashed his consistently cunning smile as he sat on the sofa across the room.“Antonio, it's been a while. How are you?"He asked in glee as he poured me a drink.As I took the drink from his outstretched hand, I replied him" I'm doing well. How was your trip?”With an air of confidence,"Profits skyrocketed," Cristo boasted with a smile. "Overseas business doubled, just as planned."Our glasses clinked and we toasted to his success, sipping our drinks as I observed mine. Whatever made Cristo return from his overseas duty must be important.Don Vito made his timely entrance into the room with a file in his hand as if on cue."I see you both are catching up" he observed.While Don Vito set the file on the table, I thought to myself,"It's about time I knew more about this business deal."Don Vito looked at me with a keen eye, stating,"You and Cristo will handle this operation."As he explained the details of the deal, his words were del
DON VITO“Sir, he already got back to us,” those words rang aloud in my ears. If Antonio wasn't there that minute, I would have hit my head angrily and pulled out a gun on the stupid guard.Antonio is a wise son I wish I had.He was smart enough to decipher the least possible code in the room in a very short time; that was how clever he was.“It's fine. I would be there shortly,” I said hastily so as to dismiss the guard.“Is something in operation that I don't know of, Don?” Antonio asked.There goes it. The very question I would have expressly avoided if not for that foolish guard. “Nothing, son. Just some calls I couldn't make before I came out here,” I answered and puffed my cigar.Clearing all doubt, I walked towards Antonio, “You seem off.”He took a step back and cleared his throat.“Do we have a pending operation, Boss?” He said, supposedly dodging the question.“Yes, we do. There is a new product coming in. I want you to be there to get it. I don't want to send the boys.”He
ANTONIO'S POVSuspicious.I just seem so sure of it. The call wasn't a genuine one.Either I am being put to the test or Don is playing a trick on me.As a sharp one, I didn't bother questioning myself for too long.“Miranda, I have to be somewhere. I will be back by evening,” I said as I put on my shirt.“And your meal? What would happen to it? You need to take something before you leave,” she said in a caring tone.The aroma of the food was already tempting but this is Don we are talking about.Who knows? He might already be on his way to the mansion. Now that he is doing things to spite me, I presume.I still don't want to believe that call was made ordinarily by Vance.“It can't be!” I snapped.Like a sudden reaction, I grabbed my car keys nearby and headed to the Ferrari parked outside the V-lodge, a name I gave my house during my time of purchasing it from another private individual.I was off to the mansion when a thought captured my attention. “What if that was actually Don Vi
XANDERI looked around. Checking to see if anyone heard the young man as he shouted at me.“I will, you don't have to shout, kid.” I said.“Kid? Don't let my young face deceive you, Xander. Pick the call, now!” He lashed back.I took a deep breath and exhaled, “You know this isn't even my phone. It's for the other guy,” I whispered.“Oh really, well you ought to know if the call is meant for you so what's your move, smart ass?”“I would pick up the call,” I muttered.I took a quick look at the number calling. It was a strange number. “Oh fuck! If this is Don Vito then I am done for!!!”“Hello?” I said slowly only to be met with a voice I didn't know.It wasn't Don Vito but one of his men.“Hello? Speak up, motherfucker. Where are you and what's happening? Don needs an update!!” The voice on the other end said.“I just wanted to tell you I am safe where I am in this new place, Dad,” I spoke stylishly.Hopefully, this guard doesn't ask further questions or perhaps decode what I just did
DON VITO“Hmmmmm……”“Maybe I need to pay a visit to Antonio's mansion.”“I can't keep waiting to hear from that good-for-nothing fellow.” I said to myself as I caressed the gun in my left hand.Perhaps he thinks I am joking with all of this.“Hahhahahha.”“I need to teach him a lesson. Maybe I will just start by beheading his father.”That should signal to him what I am capable of. It looks like his company with Antonio is giving him some liver or low thoughts about what I can actually do.Or could it be that Antonio knows about him?Naaaa…Xander won't be stupid enough to blow it all.“Boss, Antonio just drove in. You gave an instruction not to let anyone know you in, does that include….?”“Why do you think you find it hard to complete that sentence?” I cut him short all of a sudden.He gave no response. “Exactly. That man there is my godson. Don't do beyond yourself, Mafia,” I warned.I walked to the curtains, slightly looking through to see Antonio.“Hey you, bring the girls here. I
MIRANDAHe is just perfect when he handles me.It's more like he knew where to touch and how to touch.He knew all of my hit spots, and he never hesitated to exploit them.He placed his hands on my hair and massaged them. “Have you seen the ‘cook’ I got for you?” He asked.“Oh yes, she looks friendly. I like her already,” she said.“Friendly? I didn't get her to be friendly. If she doesn't do well enough, just let me know,” he answered.“Antonio, don't worry. I know she is good,” I said to him.He was so unpredictable. For all he cares, he wouldn't hesitate to relieve her of the job at that very moment.“Let me check on her and probably have her fix something or am I allowed to cook?“Get her to cook and don't be silly,” he responded in a harsh tone.He spanked my ass as I stood up from the bed. “Pffff,” I mutter“Whatever this is, I am beginning to like and enjoy it.”Not only am I treated like a queen but Antonio now respects me and handles me softly, at least better than how we sta
MIRANDAI paused after asking that question.I never expected him to answer. He wouldn't stop kissing me even after I asked the question.He proceeded to kiss my neck and suck on it till it started to hurt.The pleasure was intense and for another moment, I began to fantasize about lying with him.This time passionately and not forcibly. Ignoring my question, he carried me and laid me on the bed. His gaze was fixated on my body and I could imagine what was going through his head already.“Even with the fact that you have a baby growing inside of you, you still look so sexy as always,” he uttered.“Come here,” I said to him. That must be my urge speaking out loud.I pulled his shirt and put his arms around my waist. He held them so tight and in the blink of an eye, he lifted me and put me down properly on the bed.He came on top and I whispered into his ears again “Go gently, Antonio.”“Don't you trust me, Miranda?” He asked seductively as his eyes peeped at my cleavages.I don't even
