THIRD PERSON’S POV
“Coming back? He is coming back? Dad can you even hear yourself?”
Alejandro was heard saying, his voice echoing in the den
“Have you forgotten what he did? What he did to this family, the pain he brought to us? What happened to mamma?”
“You know I haven’t but…”
“Do not tell me you are even considering this Dad, come on” He interrupted, standing with his hands placed palms flat on the table that separated them
He had been in a mood since he was informed about the arrival of his brother and his anger was quite justified. It was his brother who they had practically ruled as dead for over six years now and the man who had been responsible for the woes that had befallen their family in the last three years including the death of their mother. It would be a tough pill to swallow for anyone including their father who lost the one woman he had ever loved.
Alejandro had stepped up and played a major part in keeping the business afloat, keeping the family strong by any means necessary when their father could not handle the pressure of losing his wife. Alejandro hovered over his father waiting for a good reason why they were welcoming a brother that they should have executed a long time ago.
“He is your brother” his father said
“Fuck that puta, Dad. He is a selfish prick that should have been taken care of immediately mother’s body went cold and you know it. Now I am never going to sit down and let you roll out the red carpet for your little golden boy and welcome him back to the fold like nothing ever happened”
“I did not say we are welcoming him back all I said was, he called”
“Cut the bullshit, dad; I know you and you might be able to fool every other person but not me. The minute Diego steps foot in this house he is back to being your golden goose…the one you trained to inherit it all and where does that leave Mateo and me?”
“Is that the issue here, Alejandro; the fact that you feel threatened by your brother?”
“I do not feel threatened!” Alejandro bellowed, slamming both hands on the table causing the flower vase to titter dangerously.
“Do you forget whose presence you are in, boy! Take that tone off your voice, this very minute!” his father rose, staring Alejandro down.
He had to admit though that some of the things his son was saying were true.
He had always favored Diego ever since they both came out of their mother and it had been very obvious to anyone who paid attention and would seem that Alejandro had been paying attention.
They continued staring each other down with Alejandro now quiet and observing his father; the hatred evident in his eyes.
Even though they looked almost identical Alejandro was no Diego, Diego was favored by his father because he took exactly after him. The hunger, the drive, the passion to succeed, the ruthlessness; all the traits that was needed to move forward in their business was present in him as it was absent in Alejandro.
His father had been surprised when he stepped up to lead after the death of their mother and he had let everything go up in smoke and he actually done a good job but then again he hadn’t been alone, he had had his other brother, Mateo with him.
Alejandro let his muscles relax as he continued staring at his father right before stalking off to a corner of the room.
“Everything I do is for this family but I can see that you do not appreciate it” he stated calmly... “I know that I am not your golden goose but I am still your son”
“You are my son, Alejandro but there are some things you do not know and you will clearly not understand… not in this state you are in”
“Then explain it to me, father. Tell me so I may understand”
“When the time is right; I will son but now is not the time”
Alejandro’s eyes hardened in anger and his face blanked out as he continued staring at his father from across the room.
“I just need you to trust me” his father said softly, walking over to where he stood.
Alejandro allowed his father pat his shoulder, seething at how feeble and weak-minded the old man was.
“I need you to believe me when I say everything I do as well I do for the good of this family. You will understand in time” His father said again
“So what now?” Alejandro asked
“Now we take the right steps to put this family back together. It will not be easy but I need your help, do you understand?”
“I understand”
“You will call a meeting tonight; gather the heads of each clan together but do not tell them what it is about; that burden will belong to me” his father sighed
Alejandro nodded in understanding and headed for the door; he could feel the blood singing in his veins and the rage threatening to overwhelm him but he quelled it immediately; this was not the time to be angry but time for him to think.
His brother was an unforeseen event that he had not been planning on and perhaps it was time for him to wait, reevaluate the plan and make the necessary adjustments.
No, this is the best time; it has to be now there will be no better time than this, the voice in his head warned
He knew that the moment Diego stepped into the house, all would be lost and besides the plan was already in motion, it was too late to stop now.
He pulled out his phone from his breast pocket and made a call as he descended the stairs of the mansion.
It would have been so much easier if they had managed to secure the damn girl; how fucking hard was it?
He hadn’t heard from them since he sent them on the mission and he only had to assume that they were dead
“We have a problem” he muttered as soon as the other line clicked

After a short period of silence Mateo spoke three words that left his brother in shock“I don’t care.”“You don’t what?”“Yes Alejandro, I do not care that Diego is coming back.” He said it so calmly this time as Alejandro watched the hate he had just seen in his eyes a couple of seconds ago completely vanish. “I have nothing to do with him and as long as he does not bother me on my island of solitude I am fine, I do not want to get dragged in again.”It had just dawned on Alejandro that he had been totally wrong on the prediction of his brothers reaction to the news, he had expected him to be more angry maybe throw some furniture or at least put up a significant fight in the matter but he sat right there in front of him as calm as a body of water that had not just been troubled.Mateo’s calmness made Alejandro extremely uncomfortable“So in essence what you are telling me is you will not be taking my side in this fight against our brother.”As Alejandro kept on talking about how the

IRENE“I do not want his attention it feels like he is all over me some times it is exhausting.”I said into the phone as I came out of my building and got into the Taxi that would take me to the office, I had been on the call with Carla, my roommate for over 2 hours now. She had gone on a little vacation with her man for the past week and had left me with nobody to talk to so these morning sessions of exchanging gossip and new information was everything to me.“He is just trying to be supportive, I get that you are new to that so you do not really understand how to react to being loved.” She replied me but I could see her laughing through my minds eye.“Fuck you.” I said laughing out loud. “Danny is not it, he is too sweet it is getting really annoying.”“What do women want?” I heard Roddy; Carla’s boyfriend say, I hadn’t realized he was actually listening to our conversation.“Hi Roderick” I replied in the most sarcastic voice I could musterI wasn’t really a fan of Rody when we fir

IRENE There he was standing in front of me, it had almost been two weeks but his face was tattooed in my mind's eye, his perfectly sculpted face and dark eyes that gazed deep into your soul as if looking to drag out every inner secret you have ever had. The black shirt and trouser he had on complemented his chiseled body beautifully and I kept looking at his chest through the space left by the two unbuttoned buttons For a second I was frozen as I kept looking at his face in shock, so many questions kept racing in my mind. Who was he? Why was he here? Why was I here? I couldn’t think of an actual answer to all these questions so I just stood there staring as all the naughty thoughts I had been having with this guy in my mind for the past days came flooding in. I was helpless. “Earth to Irene, why are you just standing there?” I heard Tony say as I snapped back to reality finally averting my gaz

DIEGOAs the elevator doors closed I could feel a little smile forming on my face, it had been so long since I had seen her face at least physically. I had just been watching through screens and pictures that my guys delivered to me.There was this feeling in my belly when we stood barely centimeters away from each other it felt like I should reach out and grab her right there and then, I hadn’t felt that way in a while, it was the same thing at the house the other day. When I got to the ground floor of the building I saw the receptionist shoot me a smile and adjust her hair, she had done the same thing when I entered some minutes ago. It’s something I knew I could act on and in a few days she’d be waking up in bed with me but now was not the time for that, I had to be focusing all my efforts on getting back home and to be quite honest since I met Irene again physically I hadn’t been in the mood to be with someone else.I had

DIEGOI couldn’t shake off the ringing sensation in my ear no matter how much I tried. My head felt like it was about to split through the middle as it rested on the roof of the car. It took a few seconds for my brain to fully process what had happened and accept the fact that we were upside down in the car. We had been run over and I could hear the faint voices of the men talking outside as they seemed to walk towards us. I looked to my front to check on Pietro my driver and it was obvious just by looking that he was in worse shape than I was. “Pietro wake the fuck up.” I shouted while unhooking the seat belt I had on, I was fond of wearing the belt no matter where I sat this might have just been what had saved me from certain death. The belt hook finally came down and I dropped to the roof of the car which was now on the ground, I reached out to where Pietro was and finally realized why he wasn’t answering m

The room was bathed in a warm, golden glow as the setting sun cast its last rays through the curtains. The air was filled with anticipation and emotion as her father approached the door. With each step he took which brought him closer to the door, his heart seemed like it was going to come out of his chest. He had longed for this moment for what seemed like an eternity. For six years, he had clung to the hope of bringing his daughter back to the loving arms of her mother, his beloved wife.As he gently pushed the door open, his eyes immediately fell upon the touching scene that unfolded before him. There, in the center of the room, stood his wife, radiant and teary-eyed, holding their daughter tightly in her embrace. The daughter, now a young woman, had a mixture of emotions etched on her face—surprise, disbelief, and an overwhelming happiness that mirrored her mother's. His heart swelled with an indescribable joy at the sight of the both of them together at last, and a tear escaped

IRENEAs the truck rumbled through the bumpy roads, my heart pounded like a relentless drum. I struggled against my restraints, desperate to free myself from the clutches of my captors. This feeling of helplessness was something I despised so much, why was I always the one that ended up in these types of situations. None of my captors spoke a word to me despite all my yells and struggles, they just contained me at the back of the truck and continued driving. I couldn’t help but think about how Diego was faring, I was sure he would come for me. He definitely would.The thought of having to rely on him to get me out of trouble made me sick in the stomach, he was not going to be some knight in shining armor coming to save some defenseless princess every single time. I got irritated at myself for even thinking of it but a part of my mind still hoped that he was okay. These people were taking me somewhere in a strange country

DIEGOAs my consciousness slowly returned my eyes slowly parted and almost as immediately as it did I felt my head throbbing with a sharp, pulsating pain. I blinked several times, trying to bring the world back into focus. The room seemed to spin around me, and it took a moment to recognize my surroundings.The initial disorientation left me feeling vulnerable and confused. I instinctively reached up to touch my head, feeling the tender spot where I had been struck. The skin was sensitive to the touch, and I winced at the discomfort it caused. My fingers came away slightly sticky, and I realized there was a faint trace of blood on the fingertips.As I attempted to sit up, a wave of dizziness washed over me, causing me to hesitate. The pain in my head intensified, causing me to wince again. Slowly, I steadied myself , trying to regain my bearings. The room I found myself in was dimly lit, and I could barely make out the objects around me. Taking a deep breath, I tried to push aside t

I could feel the eyes on me and it was definitely not the eyes of random passers by who turned around to steal a glance when they saw a couple on a walk, no this was something different.I instinctively glanced over my shoulder and caught a glimpse of two shadowy figures trailing us at a distance. This was standard following practice, keep a distance and observe until it was time to strike or something. My mind kept on wondering if it was just me being overly cautious and there was nothing there perhaps just the fear of being back in the city when things had not been fully sorted out but then again I was never wrong about things like this and it was better to be safe than sorry. I had to know. Shooting a glance at Irene I knew I couldn’t put her life in danger again just by being neglectful of signs like this. At that moment I stopped on the road and pulled her in as if for a kiss on her neck. I saw the shock over

Diego approaches the door, peeks inside the tiny gap in the door, and then opens it to let Nate inside. “How’d you know we were here?” He said as Nate entered the room, he had a worried expression on his face. He was clearly upset since he was pacing back and forth across the room."There's a problem," Nate responded, automatically ignoring the query. He had followed them from the airport to the hotel, but there was no way he could reveal it to them. He could, but doing so would only generate suspicion, especially since Diego had promised to get in touch with him as soon as they landed.They had taken separate flights, and Nate had gone ahead to make arrangements for the supplies they would require during their stay here, including the weapons, money, and other items Diego had instructed him to procure. He entered the room carrying the bag of goods, which he set on the bed."Nate, what's the matter? Speak with us." Irene spoke while developing a worried expression on her face."Somet

IRENEDespite sitting next to each other in the plane seat, we hardly spoke to each other the entire flight. With the headphones on, he had cut me off, and for some strange reason, it stung because I thought I had done something wrong that I was unaware of. This was not how I typically was, but ever since I met him, he appeared to have cast a spell on me making me really weak for him, which annoyed me so much that I did not know why I felt the want to be in his books. I even gave him a kiss.Every emotion I was experiencing at the time was really bizarre, but at the same time, a part of me felt comforted because, for the first time in a very long time, I felt that my life had purpose and that purpose could be discovered by looking into my past. He had assured me that everything I had been told would make sense once I was in a familiar setting, and I was eager to fill in the blanks in my mind. Ever since I met Diego, I kept having visions of past events, and that had to mean somethin

TWENTY FOUR Alejandro sat at the head of a long mahogany table in his lavish study. He was deep in thoughts as his gaze was completely fixed on the message he had meticulously crafted. It had been barely a day since the blast that had claimed his father but then again he knew that with an organization like this time was very much of the essence. He had to swiftly and strongly place his feet down and take control or else all he had done to be in this position would have been a waste. He stared at the multitude of screens before him, displaying the faces of his extended family and members of the organization, the branches that had scattered like fallen leaves in the aftermath of the devastating blast. They had lost over 20 people in that fire and barely 24 hours later there were already struggles for power and factions were being assembled to seize power. His power. He shook his head in disgust briefly as he looked up at his brother who sat in a chair across the room. Mateo had not go

DiegoMy eyes fluttered open, as I found myself lying on the narrow bed of the guest room in the Safe house. I could feel my chest throbbing with a sharp pain. It felt as if my heart was trying to tell me something but then again I couldn't tell exactly what it was. Something significant had occurred, but the details eluded me. I reached out for my phone one more time to attempt my dads line but once again it was unreachable. This was very unlike him, the other times i had called him he had picked up extremely quickly. Could it be possible that he was angry at me? Do I send him a message? These thoughts kept on going through my head but I knew sending a message was not the right thing to do. I had to be sure it was him I was talking to, there was no one else i could trust or rather there was no one else that trusted me. A sudden jolt shot through my body again, causing me to sit up abruptly. The movement caused Irene, who ha

The massive explosion shook the entire building to its core and sent Mateo falling down the stairs. People were running around in all directions trying to make their way to the exit for fear of the building coming down. Mateo got up from below the stairs and tried to get himself together, he shakily made his way back to the top of the staircase attempting to reach the room in order to confirm what his heart feared the most. He trudged forward pushing body after body away as they attempted to run in the opposite direction from which he was going as he made it to the secret room. No no it can’t be His mind kept on denying it but on getting there he froze in shock because it was exactly what he thought. There it was, the room in which he had just left engulfed in flames beyond what a normal human would be able to withstand. He saw something else through the fire as well as someone, a figure crawling out of the room's window, he was not entir
