CHAPTER 32When we got to the room, she brought down her makeup box and opened them up in their steps. I saw her bring out her brushes and set them on a stool close to where I was sitting. She brought forward a chair and looked up to me “Please have a seat” she said to me. I stood up from my bed where I was earlier seated and walked into the seat she brought out. I sat down comfortably while she picked up a makeup wrap and covered up my body so that the powder didn't stain my dress. “I will get started now” she informed me. She picked out an oil and softly applied it in a circular motion around my face and then let it dry off for some time. She began to prep my face and cheeks with something cold to my face. “What's this called?” I inquired, “It’s a primer,” she said. I wanted to know more but I decided not to ask further. She added in the liquid foundation and so married other products. She made sure to blend in each one on my face before applying another. After about an hour
CHAPTER 33We got to the already prepared car, Luciano opened the door to the car for me to enter, I held out my dress and walked into the car carefully, he shut the door and walked to the other side of the car, opened the door, and entered.He gave the driver a signal and he moved the car. I turned to him “So someone told the stylist that he is my husband! How did that title come about?” I asked him. He chuckled and looked at me, “Isn't my wife so beautiful?” he asked jokingly. “That isn't the answer to my question Don” I feigned annoyance. “You are so cute when you act angry, you know that right?” I laughed at his silly comment. “I'm your husband and that's final” He stated. “Oh wow, other man go on their knees and ask their women to marry them” I pointed out to him“Well that's for formality's sake” he responded, “when you my woman are ready for the formalities I'll do that”. I was baffled at his confession and how he felt about me in general. “He truly loves me”, I thought to
CHAPTER 34ELENAWe got home exhausted, and all I thought about was how to crawl into my bed and enjoy a good sleep. We walked into the hallway; I turned to Luciano “Good night Lu, see you tomorrow I said and started walking towards the door that leads to my quarter. “Darling!” He called out to me sadly “Are you not going to spend the night with me?” I didn't expect to stay with him tonight, I just wanted the whole of my bed all to myself.“No Lu, I'll be in my room tonight,” I said to him. I walked back to where he was standing and kissed him on his lips. “See you tomorrow,” I said to him and ran into my quarter. The next morning I woke up at 6 am and prepared for the day's work. I have a lot of things to do today, I already made plans to go to the mall with the chief chef. I walked into the kitchen but there was no one there yet so I picked out a coffee mug and a pack of instant coffee. I put it into the coffee machine with The mug under it till it was filled with coffee. I adde
CHAPTER 35LUCIANOI heard a knock on the door, “who could it be” I thought to myself. So I walked to the door and unlocked the door, it was Franco after all standing in front of the day. “Get in,” I told him and walked back to the bed where I was lying alongside my laptop. “Sit down,” I said to him while my hand signalled "he sits on the couch located at the left side of my room”. Franco stood still with an iPad in his hands rather than sitting down. It indicated that the matter at hand is urgent and needs urgent attention. “Franco, what is wrong this time?” I asked him in a serious tone. He raised his face and spoke up “We are short on men at work and guards in the mansion. As it stands it is risky, it needs to be filled out”. “Oh! Do you have a list of men for recruiting?” I asked him sitting up from the bed. “Yes Don” he brought up his iPad and brought out a list he already made along with the pictures of the men. He handed it over to me so I could scroll through and delete s
CHAPTER 36ELENAI stood beside the chef at the counter waiting for the payment to get to our turn so we could make our transaction and leave the mall. “Why is the mall so crowded today?” I asked myself. I felt a man dressed in black while wearing a black face cap move past me through the crowd at speed. He brushed me a little on my shoulder. I looked around but could see a man in black and black somewhere and it made me a little scared but I gathered my courage and looked down at my basket to check if anything was missing from the products I picked out. I saw a letter covered in red colour, it wasn't just any kind of red, it was the blood kind of red; it looked like they had dipped it under red paint and raised it after it had absorbed the colour. This made me scared so I dropped all the baskets immediately in fear. I knelt on the floor and picked up the letter while my hands and my body shook. I opened it up slowly until it was fully opened, all it contained was a blood stain and
CHAPTER 37We walked straight into the car which Franco used to crash into the stalker's car, he put on the car and drove off to the mansion. When we got to the mansion Franco got down, he opened up the door and I stepped out. While I walked past the mansion's entrance I saw new faces that I hadn't seen before, I turned to Franco and asked him “Were new guards employed and assigned to the door? Because I see new faces here”. “Yes dear, it is that time of the year when the battle for territory leadership arises. We have to ensure that the security here is tight and you, especially my dear, are safe”. “I want to leak out a secret to you and I will like it if you understand it and abide by whatever rule that would be given to you by the Don”. He said to me, I kept my ears wide and open just to get in every word that he would drop here for me. “The Don has never disclosed any woman to the mafia world because he has never been in love with anyone. I'm surprised by the way things turned
CHAPTER 38 LUCIANOThey finally traced Elena back to the house. It means that that guy wasn't the only one tracing her previously. “Wait here I'll go take care of things,” I said to Elena.She tried arguing but gained an evil glare, I can't take chances with my woman. I know it's intense this time because they now know that they can use Elena as a weapon against me. She is now my weakness and it is very evident. I walked down the stairs quietly with a knife in my hand. I saw the shadow of a man slowly approaching me too so I silently, when I got close I threw a punch at whoever it was only to discover that the punch went through Franco's face. “Fuck” he yelled, I quickly covered his mouth to prevent him from yelling any further. If we were truly under attack right now his yell could give out our location.I know my punch can be disastrous and that's why a lot of people do whatever they can just to avoid it. “I'm so sorry Franco, I apologised to him in a low tone while messaging
CHAPTER 39LUCIANOI looked up to Franco “We need to set them a trap, that's how we catch them” I said to him in determination. “How do we set the trap for them?”Franco asked me to be sure about what I wanted to carry out and how dangerous it could be.“The bees want honey and to attract them I need to keep the honey. That's how we trap them” I said to Franco. He looked at me so confused, “So if I get you correctly, you want to set a trap for them with Elena. What if something happens to her, would you be able to bear it?” he asked me seriously.“Now that's where you come in, you will be close by guarding her throughout this operation,” I said to him. “Okay Don”, he said to me, “I need to meet with the distributors of the new set of drugs so I'll take my leave now” he gave a bow and left***I called Elena through the telecom “ Hey darling, can you come into my room? We need to talk” I said into the phone.“Okay, I'll be there in 20 minutes”. She replied. “Why wait till the next
