Still yet, he decided to ignore. First thing first, he went back to his chair and took his seat again.
"Why would Davidson cover up for me?" Lu asked confused.
The look on Jordan's face seems like he wants to smack his boss's head. He just asked a question he doesn't understand and the man is asking him the same thing back!
"I just asked the same question," he said in a low whisper.
He swallowed as Lu glares at him, he placed his shaky hands in his pant pocket and walked left and right to the office. He has begun to feel more comfortable in the place as his shoe made a pop sound as he walke
Luciano sat still as he watch Arianna get dressed in a pair of pink yoga pants and tank top in one of his room, the room he had kept her since she came a day before yesterday. "I can't believe I did that!" Luciano muttered.If he could explain how irritated he feels, he would as well hide his face from anyone else. He couldn't think about the atrocity he had done especially when the person is staring at him as she gets dress. After the long kiss yesterday afternoon, Thing went out of control amd the worst happened. Lu had sxx with his cousin right in his house. If it was just once or he was drunk, it would have been better, have a pitable excuse or can be justified but there was none. Luciano had sex with Arianna four times!At first when they moved out from just a mere kiss and had ju
Lu's face remain mute and clueless as ever, he just kept looking at Amara then Gio. Seconds before he interrupted, he knew what he has to say and was about doing what he thinks every father should do until now. "Sooooo?!" He dragged the words as he moved closer. His blue eyes kept moving like they could not focus on a direction until he cleared his throat and folded both hands behind him. "How was school today?" He asked. "Today is Saturday," Amara said immediately "Even if it's a school day, it's still morning to ask 'how was school'" she fold her hands and tilted her head to her left "I am supposed to be at school if..." She trailed off. Her gaze focused on her pink canvas as she moved her toes beneath the lace, the look on her face seems like she was expecting it to move. She continued doing it until she felt her father's warm finger raise her jaw up.&nbs
Alita lay on the cold ground while Rocco stood beside her buckling his belt. Unlike the last time, her face doesn't look like something a person would want to look at again. Her nose and lips were broken and bleeding. Her skin had blue and purple color, showing old and new bruises. Both sides of her waist had red marks, all like hands prints caused by tight grip or holding. Both sides of under her breast were also red and blue, her nipples were also red. Her bareback laid flat on the floor, only a weak whimper escaped her lips as she sob silently. She was completely naked, not even her undies or any other type of cloth to protect her from Rocco's hard gaze and the cold floor. Gradually, Alita had started to get used to being naked. Not that she likes it but because she has no other choice. Each day, Rocco would ma
There was nothing Alita didn't pray for. She closed her eyes and attempt to Raise her hands and strangle herself but she was too weak to even breathe well. If only she could get up and find her way to the toilet, she could at least drown herself in the closet but nothing in her could move. "Forgive me Mom" she cried. Her heartache as she remembered Gio. She wonders how Luciano would be treating him now or how he would be coping as he finds out that she is no longer around for him. Her lips quivered as she imagined if he does not have the idea that she had been missing. After all, most of her stay there with Luciano, she never gets to see her brother. They only get limited time or talk on the phone, sometimes they don't and they were not allowed to send messages. As she lay naked on the cold floor, she prayed for everything a
It's such a good thing that Amara and Gio had gone to school, if not, Luciano won't have been sitting in his office staring at the door blankly. His feet were crossed on the table as he interlocked his fingers and rested them on his chest. Half smoked cigarette was placed on the table on top of a pile of files. A half-empty bottle of black rum sat gracefully next to it, close to it is an empty glass cup. Surprisingly, he didn't look all worn out or sick looking, He had shaved recently. The white shirt he wore hugged him perfectly, it's almost seemed like the cloth would not let him breathe but as a living thing, he could. His jet black hair was combed and styled in an old-fashioned way, his blue eyes looked dreadful, the way the dark side of his beautiful eyes shone made it reasonable for anyone not to see the blue-eyed Lu. The smell of cigarettes,
Davidson blinked, his cold blue eyes followed Jordan to where he went to put back the fire extinguisher at the back of the shelf. His gaze narrowed as he tried to ignore the suspicious look and body language of the young man. "You've gat to be kidding!" He blurted out "Are you guys still on this?" His forehead wrinkled as he frowned "Did I get the wrong message?" He said in a very low whisper. It was more as if the last word was for only him as he was sure even Lu close to him would not get what he just whispered. Two days ago, he got a message from one of his girls about Alita and was dying to tell Luciano until he now. His blue eyes looked determined to fish out the uncertainty in Jordan's movement as Davidson smiled from the corner of his life while he waited for him to finish what he thinks that he is doing. After all, who knows of his message mi
Not what a hobo would choose, Alita, Mia and two other girls that escaped from Rocco had to stay where they won't have wanted to stay even if they had the choice. But since there was no choice in this case, they had to stay. In the alley or an outskirt area of where they had escaped from, The girls found an abandoned mall. The mall should have been abandoned for one or two years because most of the goods are expired. No electricity, no good ventilation system, bad smell or rather stuffy smell, and the whole place had spiders. For a person that opens his or her mouth while they sleep, it's possible to have this insect crawl into your mouth. Relax! Now imagine that having a spider in your mouth can be creepy but yummy! With a can of Pringle, Alita sat still and let
"Sir?" Jordan called unsure, he couldn't even tell if it's a question or just calling "Do we still have to do this?" He cringed inwardly. Lu raised his head to glance at Jordan for a whole before looking back at what he was doing. He spread the blue print on the long table and studied it. The hall always looks the same, the same hall they use each time they are having a meeting or plan. It's been long Lu called his boys around and it's indeed a high surprise for them to be summoned again. Although they haven't arrived yet but they should in the next two minutes. Before they arrive, he intend to study the map in peace and silence. He didn't want his brother who just sat in his regular position at the head table operating his phone. Davidson look so engrossed in what he was doing and it's either that he is uploading a comedy skit, reading comments, or taking pictures of himself. On a nor
"Alita!!!" Gio and Luciano gasped in unison. Gio blinked, he couldn't believe as he initially don't know what to believe with the way she was looking. Alita was still putting on the black hoodie and black joggers she wore days ago when she saw Jordan. Her hair was packed in a messy ponytail and her face looked white like she doesn't have enough blood. Of course she doesn't have enough blood. Not when she had lost everything to Rocco and the rest hiding, staying hungry and living out of Expired food and nursing her grudges for vengeance. A small smile spread on Alita's face as she watched Lu's daughter run back to her and held her palm. The way the little girl was just so happy and jumping should be enough to melt the stone in Alita's heart. Instead, it turned it to iron when she noticed the proud look on Luciano's face as he stared at the l
The garden wasn't icy as the children would have expected it but they loved it, or rather, Amara loves it. It's been long her father played with her and it's indeed a huge happiness to play hide and seek with her. As usual, Gio sat on the floor watching them. He didn't smile, nor frown, even as Amara kept jumping and pulling his legs, nothing left his mouth. Again he would be alone.The fear that he lost his parents who had died on the night that he was born hurt him. He refused to believe that Alita had eventually gave up on him or something bad had happened to her. Not that Gio doesn't know that Alita knows how to take care of herself, in cases of when the people were stronger than her means she might as well be dead. The little he knows about Rocco made him think the man was a nice man, but the things he heard about him is also making
"Amara passed your message" Luciano immediately Flavia walked in. As usual, Flavia was looking hot in her tight red dress and black heels. Her blonde hair was packed in a high ponytail, her coat over her shoulders, and her bag and phone in her hands as usual. Elegantly, she walked up to him and stood in front of him. Her eyes room round the room like she didn't like where she was or wasn't expecting to see somewhere like that. "You are occupying space, Flavia" Lu remarked. Her face went red in embarrassment as she cleared her throat, walked to him and took the space beside him on the couch. Slowly, she opened her pause and brought out a small card then pass it to Lu who hesitated before taking it. "Time flies" Flavia tried to start a conversation "Almost like yesterday was January when I came to your office" she
Sitting on the only couch in Alita's apartment, Luciano kept staring at Alita's pictures. His gaze were fixed as he didn't even blink, it could be that he had forgotten how to blink or no longer see it as something he is supposed to do. A bottle of Black rum was on his left palm while he was holding his phone in the right. While scrolling through the pictures, he caught glimpse of the only and last picture he took of her. The picture she was laying with her face down on his bed wearing his pink trousers pajama and a rope bra. The waist band of the pant she wore was showing as the trousers was not able to stay on her waist. Alita's legs were spread horizontally with her hands wide, Her long jet black hair covered her face and small part of her neck. "Goodbye babe" Lu muttered to himself as he sipped from the bottle of rum. He avoided his brother that had been glaring
Sitted graceful on her late father's favourite couch in his chamber, Arianna waited for what it is to come. A sly smirk plastered on her face as she caress the diamond petal of the necklace she was holding. After her father's last message for her, she had been looking for the simplest way to get back at Ugo but couldn't. He was always watching her, making sure she never gets out of the house without been followed. And worst of it all, he monitors her phone life. Getting freedom is never easy and that's what gave her the idea of conspiracy. With one of her father's most trusted men standing by her side, she waited patiently for Ugo. "Well, well" She intoned immediately Ugo entered "The master has finally arrived" she added with a sly smile. Since Ugo had known his sister, she had never acted like this.
Alita couldn't believe what she just heard, since Dante is Jordan's brother something fishy has to be going on surrounding Luciann. Well, since every betray begins with trust, it's not surprising to see traitors in his closet. Listening to whatever they want to say is none of her business, the only thing that kept coming to her mind is to see if she can follow Jordan to Luciano. She surely can't get to Luciano if she doesn't know where to get him. Slowly, she popped her head to see only Jordan, her heart somersaulted as Alita stared face to face with Jordan. For what seemed like an eternity, they kept staring at themselves in surprise, not even blinking. "Alita?" Jordan said. It was more like a question as he was unsure of what he was looking at. It could be Alita or someone that looks like her as he wasn't seeing what he had expected of her. Her cheerful and lively green eyes were gone, the
Hiding in the shadows of random strangers was what Alita kept doing. After seeing random girls following her with weird smiles on their faces, getting kidnapped became her worst fear. It's was indeed a miracle that she was able to leave Calabria through the help of Mia and the great girls. They could not get her better things but her bus fare and a black hoodie with black shorts was something she would never forget. Finally, she spotted an alleyway and dashed into it. By her left hand side was an empty cathedral, without thinking, she dashed into and walked straight to the altar. The place was so silent that her footsteps could be heard. Sad memories of how she, Mama Samantha, and Gio used to go to church every Sunday flood back. The happiness, the joy of having a family, the peace of being extremely poor but happy was all she remembered.
Immediately, Davidson stood up and followed Lu. He didn't know what to say at that point because he wasn't even sure if the person was Alita or her look alike. Even if he tries to stop Lu now, it would be a total waste of time because the brother he has is not ready to stop for a few seconds. As he rushed after Lu thinking of every possible thing to do to get Lu to stay a little, his phone vibrated. Still walking fast, he brought it out to see who the caller or message was from. His bright face went cold and white, seconds ago he was trying to tell Lu to be calm now he would have to tell her that he lost her. Funny enough it happened so fast that he didn't want to believe that it was real. With his blue eyes still on Lu's back, he moved to the side to quickly place a call on one of his men. For sure he knows that they can not just get to her under
So engrossed in whatsoever that he was doing, Jordan didn't hear the door to his room open. As usual, it's his office that he made his room out of because he hates going to his room which is at the far end of the floor where Lu's room is. His fingers moved fast, his neck in an awkward position and back a few inches away from the chair back. Jordan would surely have a body ache by the time he was done with whatever he was doing. He would type on his phone for a while then his laptop in the next instants. Different backgrounds kept showing on the screen of the laptop and for a person who had no idea about what he was doing, suggesting that he had been playing a video game would go well. "What's the name?" Davidson asked as he walked closer and took the seat next to Jordan. Jordan flinched, his fingers moved typed on the keyboard swiftly changing the screen to something different entirely. Fo
