The noise grew closer, and my heart skipped a beat. I strained my ears, listening intently to decipher who approached. Was it my captor? Or perhaps someone is coming to rescue me?The door to the room swung open, revealing a figure standing on the threshold. My heart leapt with hope, but that hope quickly dissipated as I recognized the person before me. It was Felix, his face contorted with a mixture of surprise and concern."Felix!" I called out, relief flooding my voice. "Please, help me down from here."Confusion and disbelief washed over me as Felix manipulated the buttons, causing me to fall onto the mattress and then reveal a hidden chair and table.

{ Mac Allister}About 4 hours left since I came across stranger who claimed to be my brother. I feel betrayed by my late dad and mum, who did not tell me this truth. Eventually, I asked if what he was saying was true. I wouldn't forgive my mum and my late dad.I needed to ask my mum some questions, so I got off of my bed and put on a Hawaiian T-shirt before exiting my room. I adjusted the rearview mirror, catching a glimpse of Bruno's reflection standing beside my car. The urgency of the situation weighed heavily on my mind as I prepared to face yet another threat to my empire. Bruno, my trusted confidant, stood at the ready, awaiting my command."No, Bruno, your service won't be needed right now," I informed him, my voice conveying a mix of concern and determination. Starting the car, I felt its engine roar to life, and I firmly gripped the steering wheel.

{Abebi}"Your fate has been sealed,"" the negotiations fail,""You have barely two hours left," Lorenzo sneered, his voice laced with malice. The words hung in the air, ominous and filled with impending doom. Every fibre of my being screamed for escape, but the restraints that bound me to the chair only served to emphasize my helplessness.Desperation seeped into my voice as I mustered the strength to respond. "I can negotiate. I have the money," I pleaded, my voice trembling with fear and uncertainty. I hoped that somehow my offer could sway his merciless heart, that my life could be spared.Lorenzo's laughter echoed through the room, a chilling sound that sent shivers down my spine. "Your money is worthless to me," he declared coldly, his eyes gleaming with a sinister resolve. It became painfully clear that this was about more than mere financial gain. There was a deep-rooted vendetta driving his actions, a quest to restore his lost honor.The realization left me reeling, my min

Irritation filled me as I saw the name displayed on the screen—Lorenzo.Reluctantly, I answered the call, my voice laced with a hint of annoyance. "Hello," I muttered."Mac Allister," Lorenzo's voice sneered from the other end of the line. The sound of his voice sent a surge of anger through me. How dare he intrude upon my peace?"I told you I am not sending you a dime," I snapped, my frustration palpable. "She means nothing to me."Lorenzo's reply was laced with venom, his words dripping with malice. "She escaped our grasp, but we are coming for her—and then for you."The threat hung in the air, and my anger intensified. Without another word, I abruptly ended the call, my fingers slamming down on the screen. The room fell into silence once more, but my mind was restless.I returned to my bed, lying down.I groaned as my phon

"They are asking for you," she added."Bring them to my office," I replied, acknowledging the urgency in her voice.

"Take a look. It's simply a gift for the father," I said, my voice calm and convincing.The guard cautiously reached out, his hand grasping the blue nylon as he pulled it open to inspect its contents. His eyes fell upon the innocuous sight of a neatly packaged bundle of bread, seemingly harmless and ordinary."Alright, move on," the guard permitted, satisfied with my response.

{Mac Allister}"Oh Rogo, don't you know it's night?" I gently pushed my loyal dog off the bed. Rogo obediently trotted away, his tail wagging with a hint of sadness.

"Thank you, boy," I murmured, patting Rogo's head as he eagerly licked my hand.As I read the words on the card that emerged from the parcel, a sense of satisfaction washed over me.

{Abebi}I sat behind my desk, the glass background offering a view of the bustling city streets below.

Mateo and Camelia sat across from me, their presence a painful reminder of the betrayals I had recently discovered.My eyes scanned the paper in front of me, though my mind was consumed with a mixture of disappointment and concern. "Our market value has fallen," I said, my voice heavy with sadness. I looked up from the paper, locking my eyes with Mateo. "How long have you shut down the factory?" I asked, a sense of urgency creeping into my tone.Mateo hesitated, his voice faltering as he struggled to find the words. I could see the weight of his actions weighed heavily on him.

{Abebi}I lay in my bed, my hands gently caressing my growing baby bump. It was seven months now, and I could feel the baby's movements, a comforting reminder of the life growing within me. My gaze shifted to the large painting hanging on the wall, depicting a crowned figure. It reminded me of the responsibilities that awaited me as the new leader.The morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow across my room. Books lined the shelves of my little library, and my reading desk beckoned me with unfinished manuscripts.

{Mac Allister}{2 months later}Sitting alone in my bed with my rogo, memories of what transpired between me and Abebi came recalling always in my mind. I can remember about 4 mafia Dons voted for me in the Babylon Tower, but the problem is I don't know who they are. My stripper spies have failed to give me concrete information. I guess the mafia truly hold to their secrecy about who they vote for.As I gently tapped my dog on the head, the familiar ringtone pierced through the silence. I reached for my phone and answered, "Hello, Jane.""Hello, Don," Jane replied at the other end of the line."You failed. You were unable to eliminate Fico," I said with a hint of disappointment, my voice laced with frustration. My dog attempted to lick my face, and I instinctively pushed it away."I am sorry, Don. Fico proved to be a formidable target," Jane responded, her voice tinged with remorse."Well, I hope you have something more reliable this time," I said, eager to hear any information tha
{Abebi}I couldn't help but feel a surge of pride as I stood before the assembled mafia Dons. The weight of their expectations and the responsibility that now rested upon my shoulders became palpable. Tommy's words reverberated in my ears as he emphasized the importance of protecting my business ventures and the need for consent before anyone dared to cross those boundaries. It was a powerful statement, setting the tone for my reign as the Mistress of Death and asserting my authority over the criminal underworld.As the lady distributed the blue-colored papers to each Don, I watched their expressions closely, knowing that the contents of those documents held the blueprint for our future operations. It was a pivotal moment, as we collectively embraced a new mode of operation—one that would define our path forward.At that moment, my gaze met Mac Allister's disappointed eyes.

"The great Allister," he said, his voice carrying a hint of awe. I acknowledged his greeting with a brief nod of my own, maintaining an air of confidence and authority.Reaching into the depths of my pocket, I retrieved a golden coin, a symbol of my status and power within the underworld.
