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
The whole room went silent for a whole. No one made a sound, not even Davidson that had not really been serious in his whole life. Jordan at the small side of the room where he stood with his arms folded behind him and his questioning eyes at Lu. "You are making this look like a suicide mission, bro" Davidson broke the silence "Like I don't get it" he raised his voice "I doubt Rocco is still a lie because we haven't gotten a call from him yet" he shrugged. Lu's gaze narrowed fiercely as he reasoned what his brother just said. His questioning gaze looked round in the room waiting for answers or suggestions from his men. Since it's almost like they know nothing about it because they didn't start the mission together. So making any suggestions would be something no one would like or approve. They all had their straight faces except Stefano, he looked more than co
Since her last encounter with her brother, Arianna had not been allowed to leave the house alone. It's almost like Ugo now watched her every move that she had been afraid to call Luciano to pass her recent findings. So far, she now only trust Lu to the point that she can only tell him what she should be on good terms with her only family and tell. Not just that she trusts him, the love she has for him had refused to die, even when she found out that he is in love with another woman, there is still a small part in the bet that believes that she can be loved by the person that she loves. Just like Lu's family, Arianna had issues of knowing her mother when she was just a kid until a few years ago when she found out that the woman died giving birth to her. In just a few days after her dad died and had not been buried, Arianna found out so many things about her family that she had no idea
The day Luciano had always waited for had arrived, finally, Alita would be in his strong arms again. Maybe this time he would make sure to amend his mistakes. As been planned, The men took the cars they won't easily get detected with. It happened that they had gone to Calabria the previous night so they would meet up with the plan they had agreed on. Unlike before when Raul would be left to nurse the people home, Luciano asked him to come along. That alone was a different start for him and his mem especially when he also had to carry two other real bodies which are his brother and Jordan. The ride to Rocco's resident almost felt like a condolence visit, No one was smiling, but even Davidson loves to smile all the time. He refused to take his earbuds off his ears as he was scared of what Lu might ask him. Mere looking at his face, it's obvious that he didn't want to go but wanted to go so he would prove
It was indeed a miracle that Lu found his chest clean of blood. He touched his forehead and stare at his clean palm before realizing he just narrowly escaped something he hasn't been afraid of until now. For a man like Luciano, death had never been something he feared. Not when there are other things that could happen to him. With his left ear still hearing a ringing sound and his mind completely disorientated, Nothing reasonable could form in Lu's head until he saw Stefano laying in his pool of blood. His right shoulder looks bloody like he was shot there. His eyes were open as he stared blankly at the sky. To make it easier to see, Stefano had a third eye in between his normal eyes. From where The body lay, Luciano could tell that his shoppers couldn't meet such a hit unless it was done by someone in front of him. "Davidson!" Lu gasped.
"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
