"This is your monthly pay, but due to the agreement between you and the Morettis, you will only get twenty per cent monthly for your expenses, and eighty per cent will go to Moretti to pay off your debts until it is fully paid," Lily explained as they went over the employment formalities. Leah looked at the document she was meant to sign, and her eyes went wide at the figures that were written as her salary.She looked from the document to Lily, who had a smile on her face. "Are you sure this one is for me? The twenty per cent is what I would normally make in three months at my old job; shouldn't it be less now that I'm repaying a debt?" Leah described making sure that she was reading the right document.Lily chuckled lightly, her eyes twinkling in amusement at the confused look on Leah's face. "You are working for Moretti now; there are lots of risks in the job as well as exhausting long and stressful hours of work, so the pay isn't much. Besides, it will increase after you become a

Bruno sat on the wooden floor with both his legs folded under him and his back in a straight posture, his face held no expression as he watched the older-looking man sitting before him make a pot of Japanese-styled tea with his brows furrowed in concentration.Ray Salvatore served two cups of tea and placed one in front of Bruno, he raised his head to acknowledge the man sitting in front of him for the first time, "I'm getting old and it takes so much time for me to brew tea nowadays even my old injuries from when I was a youth in the street are resurfacing recently" he laments and Bruno's eye twitched while trying to maintain his coolness.'Who are you trying to deceive old man? ' he thought to himself with a subtle eye roll.He had seen that the man had intentionally slowed down the process as a way to test out his patience he said nothing as he picked up the tea and took a sip. "Even if my old age had affected the timing I can guarantee you the taste is still just as good, I got th

"Mr DiClaro, is it true that the Moretti group will be in charge of the new state project?""Mr DiCarlo, will President Bruno Moretti be making an appearance during the opening of the project?""Is it true that there will soon be a change of power inside the Moretti group? Will you be taking over?""We heard the Moretti group took the project from some other people using underhanded methods, how will you answer to that?""How does Bruno Moretti plan to deal with the obvious provocation from the Moretti group?""Will your group be working with other small groups in this project?""There is a rumour circulating that you plan on entering the technology market, is it true?"Reporters swamp the front of the magnificent Moretti group, blocking the stoic DiCarlo's way, Bruno Moretti dressed in a casual outfit like a lackey trailed behind him enjoying his peace while DiCarlo and the rest of the bodyguards deal with the reporters."It's really stressful being the face of the Moretti group isn'

"There is a new club in town, let's check it out together tonight" Amanda announced excitedly when she heard Leah come in but her excitement quickly dimmed immediately she noticed the large bags her roommate was holding with an exhausted look on her face. "Why do you look so worn out? You were never this tired even when you worked at a cafe and you had to stand most of the day" she pointed out with a disapproving frown.Leag sighed and mentally apologized to Lily fit making people have a bad impression of her team."It's mostly the school project that is making me busy these days not g new job" she corrected and Amanda snorted as Leah dragged herself into the kitchen to get a cup of water, "We got a new professor in my year and he is too strict on his projects and practical. We get at least two dresses to work on from his class this month," she explained "If it's not done well, we will have to start over again, so frustrating""Sucks to be you" Amanda commented giving Leah a pitiful lo

CHAPTER 14"Boss, we successfully acquired the first piece of the Antique as you requested," Di'Carlo said walking into Bruno's dimly lit office at the Club."Any challenges?" Bruno asked as Di'Carlo placed the parcel, a big black box on his table for assessment."Not at the auction, Boss. Ryan and Antonio confirmed with the Auction Manager that this is indeed an Original piece, but the only problem is that it is a twin set" Di'Carlo replied."It's only half a piece?" Bruno asked. ", Seems like the Black Market is slowly becoming a tough land to navigate", he comments, a smirk playing on his lips."24 hours, find the second piece as soon as possible. We must have the complete antiques before the bidding." Bruno stated"Yes Sir" Di'Carlo replied.***Her experience working with Diana was fast becoming an exhausting one, she refused to help her make any adjustments to the dress idea they had created."Mmm this looks good, but you shouldn't add lapels.

His eyes perused her body, and then using his head, he gestured to his guard to his guard in the room to search her.After what seemed like a good job of almost stripping her of her clothes as he searched every single part of her clothing. He nodded a confirmation to the Boss that she was clean"Come, have a seat" he pointed to the chair across him, clouds of smoke filling the atmosphere he sat in."Now, tell me everything" his eyes took a dark shade, signalling that trouble was about to loom."The other day, I heard some men outside my apartment talk about an ambush. It sounded like the deed had already been done. I thought maybe it was just another petty job the wreckless fools in the area were about. Until I heard the Morettis involved. I have reason to believe that they know what happened to your goods. Everyone has been talking about a gang war. These two men, they discussed vividly about an internal war that would be ongoing here because you lost your shipment. The ambush isn't

The raining gunshots sounded from a distance, Leah had only walked a mile down the street towards her house before the shooting started. She rushed indoors and locked her door tightly.She was rather surprised to find Amanda at home, she sat on the couch, dressed in her PJs watching the news."Hey girl, what are you doing back home so early?" Leah asked surprised."Don't you hear the gunshots? Or perhaps my ears are burning. I'm glad you're home, I was getting worried for you" Amanda replied."Yeah, I think the wars have started but it's like two blocks away," Leah responded taking off her coat and jacket."I have a slight idea where that might be," Amanda said." Cup of coffee?" Leah offered her."Would love some but I'd rather have whiskey" she replied." Whiskey? No way, nobody's getting drunk in this house " Leah replied" How's work at the Morettis? Ever see the boss or any of his troops there?" Amanda askedLeah found it strange that she was asking but she shrugged it off."Nah

No sooner had Leah run out of the coffee shop before the young man who had walked in got up and followed her without touching his meal."Hey! Excuse me Sir" Matt tried to call out, but he was already gone. He had dropped a couple of notes beside the untouched meal.She could sense the presence around her, but she wasn't sure what to make of it. There were lots of people on the road and it couldn't be all of them. Maybe she was just being paranoid. She thought as she hurried down the road which led to the school. She had barely walked a mile from the Café when a car stopped in front of her. The door opened and it was Stephen."I believe you're running late" he grinned at her"Oh my, fancy seeing you here" she smiled"Get in" he said and she hopped into the car. This time DiCarlo wasn't in the car. It was just Stephen and he drove."Are you allowed to drive Moretti company cars?" She asked surprised to see him."Well, my Boss sent me on an errand." He replied."How did you know I'd be h

Leah stared blankly at Delphine as she spoke. "I don't know who that is" she said keeping a clueless face."Yeah, I figured " Delphine said wiping her face with her hand. " Ortega was the most feared demon of a Maffia before the Morettis even surfaced. He and the Morettis did business together severally but the city began to feel too small for all of them to build, so he branched out, hit bigger fish and started out somewhere else." Delphine replied."So, your Father is a dangerous drug Baron and you stole from him without absolute fear or thought that you would endanger your little girl's life?" Leah asked looking at her angrily."I didn't know I was pregnant with Alexia when I ran off. I was desperate, my Father had locked me up in a little room for daring to fall in love with that bastard Bartholomew. Oh how I regret ever having anything to do with him, The Bastard was more interested in pleasing my Father than in the love we had shared. I did stupid things for love and now...? He

Bruno watched the scene from the Auction over and over, shaking his head. "Sadly, Lorenzo underestimates me still," he said to DiCarlo sucking on a lollipop."Did you get the ruby?" He asked DiCarlo"Yes Boss, our collection is almost complete " he replied"Good, because I owe Ray Salvatore a token" he said smiling as he stared at his computer.XXXLeah and Alexia sat watching a sleeping Delphine, she had rolled over five times in her sleep. Leah had tried to hide the wound story from Alexia but she figured it out herself."Is she often like this?" Leah asked Alexia as they stared at her."Well, usually, she leaves me with my Aunt Marie back in Georgetown before she goes on her escapades, she usually comes visiting every two weeks with a broken arm or leg. " Alexia replied which bothered Leah a lot."I'm just kidding" Alexia laughed and Leah breathed a sigh of relief"Don't do that again" she warned seriously."I'm sorry. It's been my Mum and I alone since forever, my Dad recently cam

Still holding her lips to stop them from trembling, Leah waited to see what the men would bring out. When she had waited for some time and they didn't show up, she tiptoed in the direction of Delphine's house but the elevator suddenly opened and she rushed back to her former spot behind the dividing wall. She watched as a random guy stepped out of the elevator and walked past Delphine's house. She wished she could warn him to be quiet but he was already singing too loud like a bloody drunk. He stopped by her open house catching a glimpse of the havoc the men were causing and bellowed out."Hey! Yo! This is private property man! Does the owner know y'all are here? Come on, out..!" And a bullet went through his head which caused Leah to gasp loudly and shudder, moving back slowly. She saw them drag his body inside and shut the door.Enough had been seen, Leah rushed back to her apartment and locked the door completely, bolting every single thing. She tried to call Delphine but the call

Leah watched through the window as Delphine spoke to a strange man outside the building."Is everything okay?" Alexia asked."Yes, sweetie, everything is fine. Just checking out the view from up here" Leah lied."My mum's always speaking to strange men, so it's pretty normal " Alexia replied exposing her lie."Oh I see, is she...is she into business?" Leah asked curious"She says she sells to them, I don't know but lately she's been really jumpy. Maybe she didn't sell too well and that's making her upset." Alexia suggested."Oh really? And she leaves you up here by yourself?" She asked but before Alexia could answer, there was a knock on the door and Leah went on to open it."Yes? How may I help you?" She said to the tall man with a baseball cap and a pizza parcel. He seemed surprised to see her but he brought down the parcel anyway."Uh, pizza delivery. Can I come in and serve? It's unsliced" he said to her but she looked at him strangely. On a normal day she'd be excited and happy t

Leah stared at Matt as he spoke, "I don't know, she walked in here looking all ruffled and upset, didn't even answer my greetings and just rushed into the bathroom." Matt said"What did she go to do there?" Stephen asked which drew stares from Leah and Matt because the question was strange."I mean, she.. she could have gone in to make a call or something or she was hiding from the two men. It's a lot of things" Stephen said trying to lessen the awkwardness of the situation."That's true, she could have been in trouble. But..." Leah tried to say"I don't think she's in that much trouble" Stephen said looking up from his phone."But..what do you mean?" She asked"I have to go, " Stephen said getting up."Huh? But we were just discussing..." Leah said"I know, I know. It's urgent, try calling her later today. Maybe she'll explain better " he said and gave her a peck on her cheek and rushed out." Well...that happened" Matt said shrugging his shoulders. Leah merely sighed disappointed an

Amanda sat at the round table waiting for the guys to come in. She had called for them over thirty minutes ago. She sat staring at the clock as they all bustled in, sauntering as they liked."You're late" she voiced out. They all stopped chattering and looked at her before bursting into laughter."Who died and made you Boss," one of them said and they all laughed."You're late" one of them mimicked. She was glad they found it amusing as she toyed with her phone which was recording everything.Immediately they were done laughing, she played their voices back to them and the room went quiet."Yeah, so, with just one click of a button, I could send this straight to the Boss who in fact put me in charge of this operation. I'm very well sure he would love to let you all know who died and made me Boss" she said looking at them squarely.The buffiest of them cleared his throat and stepped forward."There won't be any need for that, Miss Amanda.

Amanda walked into Lorenzo's office, her heart thumped as she moved. She calculated every step trying to think of what her default responses would be. She had to be confident, she had only trained for this moment her whole life. Her mother's life was at stake."Sit down," Lorenzo said to her. He wore a serious expression that said something was about to go down."I like your determination and brains to pursue the family business, young Maffia" he said. She liked that he addressed her as 'young Maffia ". It was a name he had given to her after what happened to her as a little girl."Your Father is a weak man who I had tried to make strong. I gave him the side family to run because I believed he could do a good job, one day that would become your responsibility." Lorenzo said without looking at her."I don't know what to say to that, Sir," Amanda replied."There's nothing to say anymore, it's settled. Your loyalty will be constantly tested, don't think it won't. I've always known that y

Bruno stared at the man in front of him shaking visibly like a leaf, he watched the man as his bleeding face wept."Please have mercy, Boss. Have mercy on me." He said"Oh guys, he said I should have mercy..." He said looking around."I should have mercy.." Bruno said looking the man in the eyes. He nodded vehemently."Nah, what about your little girl!? Barth, we have a rule at Moretti's and it's simple...No what?" Bruno asked"Family.." the man croaked." Exactly Barth, no family. Mucho Buenos, Arivaché. Very good, that's your name, right?

Bruno peered through the glass at the mother watching her child. He knew she had no money to take care of the bills. Even though a lot of people had contributed to the little girl's welfare, Bruno ensured that money was given to the girl's mother for her welfare. He took care of the bills himself. What he did not fully understand was what Leah was doing there.It was a good thing he had worn his mask and shades. This was a dangerous world and the innocent had no place in it. He stared at the little girl fighting for her life. The nurse had said she was out of danger, but what he saw was a little girl who watched her Father put her in harm's way. How was she going to explain that to her mother? Bartholomew was a coward and a pig, and he couldn't understand for the life of him how he had trusted him or even done business with him."Boss," DiCarlo said with his head bowed."Yes?" He said wiping his eyes codedly and lifting up his head but not looking at DiCarlo."They found him," DiCarlo
