View MoreMARCELLA’S POVFive days had passed, and there was no sign of Uncle Tee, no word from the Mexican mafia either. The awful silence around the manor was painful and tiring, no one had visited the manor the entire week not even fathers down-liners.El Russo himself had spent most of his time sitting on the balcony upstairs staring into space. Occasionally I would see him deeply lost in thoughts, he was clearly grieving his brother but tried not to look weak before us.This morning, one of the guards had informed me that, father wanted me at the club tonight. I hadn’t stepped foot there in almost eight years but this wasn’t the time to get on father’s nerves.I was nervous as the club wasn’t a place that resonated with my soul. By the time evening came, I was already dressed and ready for the club and by eleven pm, father and I had arrived.The smell of smoke and hard liquor quickly filled my nostrils, I wiggled my nose briefly allowing it to adjust to the new smell. Several sweaty bodi
MARCELLAS POVWe stayed hidden behind the sofa, at this point it was just Uncle Tee and Alejandro against the dozen men firing their guns at us. I would have counted my self as part but I had no knowledge about firearms even though I was raised in a mafia house.Uncle Tee and Alejandro exchanged a nod in unison then got up simultaneously, firing their guns across the room.“Go, go, go,” Uncle Tee yelled over the loud gun sounds.“Be ready to jump” Alejandro said dragging me with him.“Huh” I replied just as we jumped off the building through the shattered glass window into the ocean down below.It took a while for my lungs to adjust to the new surface area, nonetheless , I pushed up to the surface of the water quite easily. I couldn’t see my brother anywhere at the surface neither could I remember seeing Uncle Tee jump behind us. My brother was a good swimmer like myself hence I expected him to show up on the water surface any moment. I scanned the water surface one more time and c
MARCELLAS POV Dinner was pretty much quiet, no one said anything peculiar. I had expected father to throw more light on this new business deal as the anticipation was killing me, however, I knew not to over step boundaries and ask too many questions. Zak kept busy in his phone only occasionally engaging me in one random conversation or the other. In this brief interaction, I had gathered he was an underground dealer, pretty new in the business but good at what he does. I didn’t grabs what exactly he deals in as he avoided the questions severally. I also learned from our conversation that, he had joined police academy but could not complete his training because he suffered some depression when both his parents died around that time. He however still had a few corrupt connections in the academy that gave him solid police intel relevant for his business. Occasionally when Zak was buried in his phone, Uncle Tee would stretch his neck to peek and when my eyes met his, he gave some ki
MARCELLA’S POV I heard a rattling sound at the front of my door, I didn’t bother to check it out as I knew the door was locked. Before long, Uncle Tee Stepped into my room holding a ball gown and some accessories. “You father demands your presence at the diner party.” He said to me “What party, I don’t know about any party” I informed him. “Well, what I can tell you is, you father just struck a huge business deal with Zak and the party is to celebrate the win, anything beyond that I am not in the position to say” “I am not interested in anything relating to dad’s business, I am not coming” I said simply. “Like you have a choice. You know El Russo does not make suggestions, this is an order.” I shrugged, I understood the consequences of declining my father’s invitation, but I felt unbothered anyways. “Wear this, and look your best” My uncle said laying the gown on the bed beside me and walking away. I ignored the piece of material, but the silver necklace accompanying
MARCELLA’S POV Its been a couple of hours and no one had come in to check on me or offer food, this only confirmed my suspicion, my father was punishing me. The door remained locked and so was my bedroom window, the sky outside was dark with only a few stars sprinkled across it. The lights of the manor lit up the compound giving me a view of a couple of armed men patrolling its parameter.. I entered the bathroom to wash my face and drunk some water from the tap, then an idea struck.A broad smile appeared on my face as I rushed to the closet, I pulled out every piece of cloth, bedspread and any material I could lay hands on. I tied them end to end forming a long row of clothes joined by a tight knot. This was my only hope of escape and I prayed silently that it works. I went back to the bathroom and tied one end of my improvised rope to the window frame, and with my bag hugging my body tightly, I let my self out the window. It was a one story building yet my fear of heights prevented
MARCELLAS POVIt was a little pass midday when I arrived at the Russo Manor,my mother rushed down the stairs to hug me immediately she saw me, I simply waved a hand to dismiss her ensuring my other hand supported my wound. Its been just two days after the shooting and I had decided to pay my father a visit despite Antonio’s fruitless efforts to convince me otherwise.“You betrayed me” I said to my mother, “my abdomen feels like it had just been vacuumed you know why?”“Its not what you think baby” she sobbed“ Because you chose to betray me and put my life in danger.” She made another attempt to advance towards me and stretchedher hand to touch me.“Don’t you dare touch me” I said with a frown."I called you and you told dad my whereabouts, you were supposed to protect me!“ I added."Don’t be too hard on her” Alejandro said patting my shoulder as he joined us in the room. Uncle Tee followed closely behind wheeling dad into the space beside mom. I turned to walk away ignoring his pres
ANTONIOS POVI squeezed Marcella’s cold hands tightly with my left hand while my right-hand kept pressure on her wound. The fast-oozingblood from the hollow space left by the bullet on her abdomen had already soaked two shirts. As she lay on the table in my dining area, I anxiously awaited the arrival of Doctor Firestone,a trusted underground medical practitioner Alvarez had secured for situations like this when we first arrived here in Italy.I felt useless as all I could do was say silent prayers hoping she pulls through this. Alvarez, Alejandro and some of my men had gone out to trace the shooter. I had promised to keep Marcellasafe but right here in my home I put her in harms way.Firestone arrived shortly after and went straight to assess the wound on Marcella. He looked more worried than I had expected. I refused to let go of her hands as the little threadypulse I felt was my only assurance she was still alive and she could make it. After the doctor stabilized her and treated t
MARCELLAS POV“Hello? Mom?” I called through the phone, I could hear the relief and joy in her voice as she responded.“Baby, where are you my love”“I can’t tell you mom, but I’m safe and…” “Are you out of your mind?” Antonio yelled yanking the phone from my hands.“What the hell!” I yelled back“I told you no fucking phone calls without my knowledge. Why the hell will you do that?”“I needed to call my mom, its being weeks and she’s probably crying herself to death”“I don’t give a fuck about that Marcella. Do you realize what you have just done?” He questioned, slamming the phone on the table just as Alberta walked in.“Forgive me sir I must have left the phone unattended.” Alberta apologized.“This not your fault Alberta, just stay out of it.” he assured her“…and it’s my fault?” I questioned “It’s my fault I can’t choose whom to marry? It’s my fault I have to hide even from my own parents? It’s my fucking fault my life is miserable now?” “Don’t be pathetic, you agreed to the t
ANTONIO’S POVI don’t know how long it had been, a couple of minutes maybe, but I knew she was anxiously waiting. I looked at Alvarez wondering what news he had that couldn’t wait.I had asked Marcella to lay in bed, but just when I was about to go to her, my emergency phone vibrated in my pocket. After I had jumped into the river earlier to save her with the phone in my pocket, I was too upset and forgot to check on the phone, I didn’t expect it to still function. But when the device vibrated I knew I had to rush out.“Bravta, take a look at this” Alvarez finally spoke showing me his phone screen. “What is this” I asked snapping the phone from him. A picture of Marcella sat on the screen and under it the words Marked for $ninety million -Dead or Alive was boldly inscribed. My heart begun to race. I got up with a start, my fingers coiled tightly around the mobile device channeling all my anger to it. “Fuck” I exclaimed throwing the phone at the wall.To be marked in the mafia dark w
I knew I looked beautiful; I could feel the heavy make up on my face as I struggled to hold back the drop of tear that had been meaning to fall. As I stood in-front of Michael and the priest, I eagerly scanned the nearly empty room, my heart pounding loudly in my chest, hoping secretly that my parents or at least my brother would be present on my wedding day. I could feel Michael’s heavy gaze on me as my feet grew colder.I tried to clear my throat to get rid of the huge lump I could feel forming from disappointment and then opened my mouth to answer the priest’s question, but before I could form any words, the huge gates of the church flung open and about seven heavily armed men barged into the room.“Everybody down” One of them ordered.I went down immediately with Michael hovering over me to form a protective shield. The priest hid behind the pulpit and the few people in the auditorium mostly from Michael’s family and friends group quickly hid under their chairs. I could hear silen
