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

  • RUTHLESS LOVE   We need to leave...

    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

  • RUTHLESS LOVE   Only decision I could make...

    MIRANDA"Do I have to pack anything?"I paused after asking the question. Antonio didn't even flinch or move."This is different from your escape plan. You don't have to pack anything," he said, jokingly.My countenance went down. It was obvious he was still angered by my actions the previous week."I'm sorry, Antonio. I……..." I stuttered."Whatever you want to take, take it now. I am not bringing you back here. Not anymore!" Antonio echoed.I could sense the anger in his tone. "Antonio," I whispered his name but he didn't respond.I moved towards him and put my arms around him. I didn't think that would pacify him but at least I tried.Surprisingly, he placed his hands on my cheeks and gave me a kiss on my forehead."Get prepared," he said immediately.Something in me wanted to seize the opportunity to talk back at him but I kept mute. Getting on his nerves would be the wrong move to make at the moment."Xander, get your ass up here now," Antonio suddenly said over the phone. I didn'

  • RUTHLESS LOVE   Masked Guy

    XanderWhat do I do?Do I tell him? Do I tell Don Vito about Miranda once and for all?"Now that Mr. Dante has decided to move her from the house, we could be going off-grid…perhaps I tell Don everything so he can….""Xander," I heard a voice calling my name from outside.I was in the garage house to get the keys to the Chevrolet.That was Jocelyn's voice. She must be looking for me.I dare not answer. The plan was already in motion. Antonio had called for the meeting. "Maybe that's why Jocelyn was looking for me…to come for the meeting," I thought in my mind.Another voice suddenly stopped her. "You looking for Xander? I am sure he is around somewhere. Let's just go. Mr. Dante looks pissed already," the voice rented the air.That voice sounded like the guard positioned at the entrance of the house. A big-eyed fellow who was hitting on my sister.I never liked that guy. I once thought he was working for Don, other than Mr. Dante but I guess I was wrong.Just an annoying fellow. "But X

    Xander"Goddamn it!"What the heck just happened?I ran after the car but couldn't catch up. It had driven far off before my very eyes. I pant as I couldn't just scream any further.That would only call the attention of the other guards around the house.My heart raced and fear crippled my legs before my very eyes.Someone just kidnapped Miranda. What the heck would I do?Who would I call?"Mr. Dante would strangle me to death if he caught ears of this,"I didn't know what to do. I stood there for like a minute speechless and dumbfounded.Clueless of the next line of action."What the heck do I do?" I spoke out loud.I had never looked so foolish before in my life. How did this happen?Before I could entertain another thought in my head, I heard my phone beep.Oh no! Trouble knocks!! It's Mr. Dante. He just dropped a message for me."I am coming out to meet you both now. So get the car ready to move," Mr. Dante echoed through the phone.My heart skipped a beat and more. I began pantin

  • RUTHLESS LOVE   Scared...

    An hour ago,MIRANDAIt all happened in a flash.Xander stepped out of the car to close the gate behind us when a man all dressed in black and masked came into the car and drove off.I didn't see that coming. I doubt even Xander knew what had happened until it was too late.The man drove off at speed while I sat at the back of the car. It was like he knew I wouldn't dare fly out of a moving vehicle.He kept driving onward without looking back.I was scared to my bones. My hands and legs trembled as we drove at high speed without stopping.I didn't realize I had pee on myself. We suddenly stopped in the middle of a busy road and the cars honked at us.One of the drivers even almost hit the car. My heart raced like a superbike and I almost passed out.What the heck is he trying to do? Was he trying to get us killed or what?It wasn't about the traffic lights so what the hell was he waiting for?I had already shut my eyes anticipating death as the road was a busy one and there was every

  • RUTHLESS LOVE   Puzzling...

    MIRANDAI could feel my heart ready to jump out of my body and take to its heels leaving my body behind after witnessing what happened to that man.How could they be so cruel as to kill one of their own, right in my presence?I kept looking at the strange guy beside me. Even though he wasn't masked, his whole body was covered up as though he wore a cloth bag on.We started the journey and inside me, I was praying he didn't take me on the speed as the last driver did.“Please where are you taking me to?” I decided to try out my luck with this new driver.He looked at me with a straight face and turned to concentrate on the road.“To the Boss,” he answered.Am I supposed to know who that is? I groaned within.“Please who is this person you call Boss? I was taken from my home,” I cried.He didn't respond this time around.He turned to me and said in a loud tone, “If you like yourself, you would keep your mouth shut and let me focus here.”We were on the road for a long time, even if it w

  • RUTHLESS LOVE   Am I dreaming?

    XANDERA few hours back,Jocelyn wouldn't stop tapping my shoulder repeatedly.“What is it? Can you just let me be for now?” I shouted at her.She suddenly stepped back. At first, I thought that was her simply respecting and obeying me but I noticed how she kept looking above my head like someone scary was approaching.I turned to look and three hefty men were approaching us. “Where did these ones come from now?” I thought.Their faces didn't look good and they didn't look like men working for my boss or even Don.“Jocelyn, run,” I whispered, but it was already too late.A man had already grabbed her from behind. I didn't realize we were being attacked from both sides.“Where is your boss?” One of them asked as he made me kneel before him.“Who are you to ask that?” I summoned the courage to question him despite his huge size.I thought I was going to receive a hard slap or perhaps a death punch on the face but to my surprise, the man signaled to the other two who stood gallantly besi

He has to be testing me.Not only has he restricted my movement but also kept me away from my sister.First and foremost, I don't even know where I am, how I got here, and the route that leads to here.How do I……?Antonio stood up all of a sudden and walked up to me.“I don't care whether you are pleased with what happened here or not. Your allegiance is to me so watch it, Xander.Watch it.”“Yes, boss. I'm sorry,” I said.Antonio signaled one of the men and he walked up to me grabbed me by the arms and lifted me.“Can I trust you, Xander?” Antonio said.I stuttered at first. Why would he ask me such a question? I have been nothing but loyal or does he suspect a thing?“My phone,” the thoughts rang out aloud in my head.Where is my phone?Oh my…I hope he hasn't gone through it.“Do you have something to say or are you going to keep quiet even to the question I asked?” Antonio said in a loud tone.“Boss, you can trust me.

    MADOFFI have wanted her for so long.At last, she is mine tonight. Whatever I wanted I got, Power money and respect were all mine including the woman that has been my desire for years.Diane's gown slit open by the side revealing her hot legs as she sat down while I poured us some drink.A grin nudged on my lips as we clanked glass and made a toast to a great friendship and more.“Something more?" Diane asked me with teasing eyes.I gulped my drink and licked my lips coyly.“Yeah sexy I want you to be mine. I'll give you whatever you want.” My eyes scanned Diane's hot body as the words crept out of my lips.“But I have everything I need" Diane replied to me with a seductive glance.Diane was playing hard to get but that interested me more about her. Agreeing with her she had everything she had except a man struck the facial expression of surprise on her that I was expecting.“A man!?” She scoffed. “What gave you that impression?” She posed the question playing with her fingers across

    CRISTOMy nerves were at ease when I remembered that Carlone had given me a license and registration bearing the name ‘Calvin’ and my masked face.My hands stopped shaking as I held the ID in my palm and gave it to the officer who observed it closely.After what seemed like an eternity he looked at me and said the name he saw on it.“Calvin Damian."“Yes sir," I replied.He got amused by my friendly demeanour and asked where I was driving to.“A friend’s party" I replied curtly.He nodded at my response and advised that I drive safely, handing my ID back to me.“You were driving too fast. Take it easy."He added calmly.I thanked him and drove off at a low speed to avoid being stopped over again.I halted in front of the casino. All eyes were on me as I stepped out of the Lambo looking dapper with an air of confidence.A guard walked up to me and greeted me.“Good evening sir."Then he collected the keys from me and parked the car.As I approached the casino entrance, another set of g

    XANDER“You think you're a tough guy huh! Well, let's see how tough you are!”Zacko spat at me, landing blows to my gut with a mischievous glint in his eyes as the guards restrained my hands.I clenched my teeth, refusing to give Zacko the satisfaction of seeing my anguish. The pain coursed through me like a river of fire, but I held it inside, refusing to let it escape in a scream.While the pain raged through me, I drew strength from the knowledge that this was only a scratch, a fleeting discomfort in comparison to the past ordeals I had endured.Without getting any reaction from me, Zacko punched me harder, a smile tugged at the end of my lips seeing his frustration which hung around his neck like a necklace of stones.“You're having fun huh? Well, let's see how fun this is…” He spat at me with a devilish smirk.My eyes widened in shock at what happened next.The babyface bodyguard gave Zacko brass knuckles which he wore on his right hand.It hurt like crazy when he punched my stom

    CRISTOWhat a day!Antonio had not disclosed the plan to us yet but I believed he had something up his sleeves.Now I understand why the twins trusted him so much. He is a leader who always has the best interests of those around him at heart.Also, he was full of surprises which came in handy.None of us knew what tonight had in store for us, but one thing was for sure: It would be thrilling and full of action.We will surely secure the bag.One hundred million dollars was not a child's play.Of course, our gang was worth a fortune but we had never had a deal worth a huge amount as this one.Moreover, it was high risk.It made me horny!I burst into laughter as I gulped a drink of scotch down my throat in the quiet of my room.It has been half an hour since we returned safely to the mansion. We had a brief break of rest before the next meeting.I smiled at the thought of Diane.The picture of her beautiful face lingered in my mind as I poured a drink into my glass cup, a little this t

    CARLONEI watched from a distance as my twin stood still at the sound of the bodyguard holding a revolver in his hands.Without uttering a word, he circled Carlo like a predator about to feast on his prey.My gaze met with the man in black. Neither I nor my twin flinched, instead we maintained our cool.At that moment, another bodyguard walked toward us, lowering a piercing stare at me and switching gazes.The both of them looked at each other and burst out in laughter.Carlo and I were confused but we kept our emotions in check.“They are not who we are looking for."The taller guard’s voice rang in the air.“Yeah, these pussies are too scared even to move." The other guard echoed with a mocking smile on his face.“Are you done?" He barked at us.I simply nodded.He patted Carlo on the shoulder and asked us to leave.“Sloppy bastards." He echoed as we were leaving their presence.I clenched my fists to throw a jab at him but my twin whispered to me to control my anger.“There will be

    CARLOMy twin and I, disguised in human masks with different identities, entered Madoff’s Mansion precisely ten minutes after the power was cut off.Boss Antonio’s connections within the power supply company gave him leverage over a loyal follower, who promptly cut off the power to the mansion at his order.We approached the bodyguards at the gate, showing them fake IDs.The guards scrutinized us for a few seconds before calling to confirm the power failure.Satisfied with the explanation, they allowed us through. We marched towards the main entrance where we were searched thoroughly by another set of bodyguards.The guard who seemed to be in charge questioned Carlone and me, inquiring suspiciously,“This is unusual, we’ve never experienced a power failure before, and you guys arrived so fast. How come?”Carlone remained unfazed, replying calmly, “You are a VIP, sir, and we are efficient in every sense of our job.”The guard nodded, but I could sense the scrutiny that lingered in his

    ANGELAMy phone rang.I already knew who was calling. The man whose mission was the reason I was in this mansion, occupied by the Mafia.“Have you made progress?" His hoarse voice rang through my phone.“Yes, he has tasted my cake," I replied confidently.“Impressive. Now wait for further instructions,” he uttered and hung up.At that moment, I heard footsteps.Someone was approaching the door, so I quickly hid the phone in the usual place under the wash basin in the bathroom.When I came out of the bathroom, my gaze met with Don Vito’s.His smile shocked me all over.“There you are."“What have you been up to?” he asked, drawing me closer to him.I smiled coyly. “Nothing really. Keeping myself ready for you.”Don Vito’s lips curled into a grin as I leaned in and kissed him.He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into an embrace, and then gently pulled me onto his lap.“I have a surprise for you,” he said, whisking two bags with his right hand.“Here you go, these are for you.”“Wh

  • RUTHLESS LOVE   Who dare spy on me?

    ANTONIO“What?” I was stunned.I couldn't believe my eyes as I read the text on the screen of my phone. The roaches were no other than the Dalmorra gang, a trusted ally of ours.They were known for their brutality and discrete methods of operation, but Dr. White was no novice in this spy game.To prove his information, he sent a picture along with the text, which I confirmed was authentic.I saw the black dodge that trailed us tonight parked a block away from Madoff's Casino, which meant they observed our operation tonight at the Casino. I racked my brain, wondering if they were not on to us inside the Casino.If that were to be so, we have strong competition in securing the hundred million dollars, which I suspected the Dalmorra gang to be interested in.But if they were observing us from outside the Casino, it's possible they don't know the specifics of our plan yet. Either way, we need to be careful and reconsider our strategy.Could it also have been the Dalmorra gang that sent me

    DON VITO“Welcome, Boss," a guard greeted me, opening the door to the torture room in the basement.I walked into the dark room, snapping my finger to turn on the lights, and Xander's parents jerked in fear at the intensity of the bright light.I did a 360 movement around Xander’s parents like a predator circling its prey, before walking to the edge of the room and taking my seat.I could smell the fear in them, even across the room, as they visibly shook. Their cowardice fueled my rage—I hate pussies. They were sure to get the DON VITO experience.At the snap of my finger, they were waterboarded, their heads tilted backward as a torrent of water deluged their faces. The sound of their cries was a sweet melody to my ears until I had enough.“Please!!!" they wailed, at the top of their voices in excruciating pain as they struggled to catch their breath.Vance lit my cigar, and I inhaled the smoke before releasing a long stream of smoke into the air."What did I hear you say?"
